I let out a cry as I felt canines dig into my neck.
“LET GO Of MY BROTHERRRR!” I heard my brother Austin roar.
I tried to lift my head to see him but it was too difficult under all of the pain.
I had to lay still and wait for my body to heal before I could go again. It shouldn’t take that long. I couldn’t stay down for long. My mate’s scent was strong and I knew that she was also here. I needed to get up to protect her!
……….
***CASSAnDRA***
Everyone turned their attention to Austin and his pack, joined with James’s pack as well. My eyes finally fell on the person we were all looking for … Eden Cross.
Her eyes widened when they settled on James lying on the ground and a terrified scream left her mouth as she rushed to his side and covered his body with her own, trying to shield him from everyone.
“You will pay for that!” Austin roared angrily.
“You are all outnumbered.” The prosecutor answered him, a smile growing on his face. “Give Eden to us and we will let this all go. If you don’t, you choose death, as you can see your brother was ready to cross the bridge and go over to the other side.”
“I don’t think they’re outnumbered.”
Who said that?
I followed the sound of the newcomer and was shocked at what I saw next.
Wasn’t that …
“The inhumane Blackners.” Hunter finished for me.
What were they doing here?
“Is that really fair?” Arthur Blackner asked. “All of you against one Alpha. I mean have a bit more pride, would you?”
“I see you’ve brought guests with you.” The prosecutor shouted. “If it’s a fight you want, it’s a fight you will get!”
At his words everyone shifted into their wolves and attacked each other at the same time.
I watched the war between the multiple groups. I think it was a surprise to all of us to find that the Blackners out of everyone were on the side of James and his family.
We didn’t prepare for them. The fight was now even and both sides could suffer heavy losses. At the end of this battle, many would be without their loved ones. I was okay with this; there wasn’t much I was concerned about in this fight. Austin’s family as well as Eden’s had way more to lose.
Once the main council members survived, that was all that mattered. They called this fight amongst themselves. Eden betrayed us all when she chose her mate over her tie with us.
We promised her death if she chose this direction and that was exactly what she was about to get. We needed to teach everyone a lesson, so that no one else did something this stupid again.
I kept the shield around the prosecutor like he asked of me. That was my main job here today. Protect the council members, especially him.
I frowned as I felt someone trying to break into my barrier. That was impossible; no one should have that much strength to challenge me. My eyes searched the crowd, searching for the culprit.
I paused, a chill traveling down my spine. The bright green eyes was hard to miss, I’d drowned in those eyes before. I wouldn’t mistake it for anyone else.
I felt my body begin to shake at the immediate recognition.
no.
That couldn’t be… It couldn’t be him.
My son!
no.
He was part of that Alpha James pack. If I let this fight continue I may lose my only son. I couldn’t lose him. I’d let him go so that he could have a better life. I wouldn’t let all of my sacrifices go to waste today.
I needed to protect him.
I pushed through the fighting crowd and found my way to the prosecutor.
“WE nEED TO TALK!” I shouted above all the roars and screams of pain.
“We’re in the middle of a battle. Can’t you see that?”
“I had a vision.” I insisted.
He turned to me then and I shielded both of our bodies from any attack that may hit us.
“What did you see?”
