Carmen…. downstairs…. go back to what you were doing!
We need to disable the frequency.
I link her across the room and with a subtle woosh and push of my energy ball I manage to separate her from the wolf she is clinging to while delivering a vicious claw stab to his shoulder. She seems startled for a second and then reads me loud and clear and takes off without hesitation, dodging wolves and heads back for the door. Her eyes focused on her direction, and I turn to check on the three huddled figures.
Juan follows my gaze, catching the corner of my eye with his sudden halt in fighting and I can sense his urge even from here. He lets go of one of my guards that he had by the fur of his neck and takes a running jump towards me in my standing position. I lift my hands in readiness, knowing he’s no match for my ability to throw out a shield to hit him, but he heads straight for the back of Leyanne, and I miss him by mere millimeters.
Sierra seems to sense it too and looks up in time to see him coming down on the back of our witch with claws extended and a definite desire to impale her. I gasp a loud Noooo and turn to intervene, but Sierra does it for me. Jumping up and changing midair, she hits him head on in a clashing collision of mass and sends him hurtling backwards with her smaller self, clutching like a leech. They tumble backwards, roll across the floor through broken despair, swiping two wolves off their feet as they take out their legs and end up crashing into the edge of a wardrobe nearby. The crunching, cracking sound of bones snapping and then they come to a dead halt. A moment of pause before the real fight begins.
“Sierra! No!!” Radar yells at the top of his lungs, almost deafening me as it also comes through the pack link in amplified unison. My brain near explodes with the ferocity of his despair.
I’m after them in a second, heading her way, but Sierra and Juan are fast and seem to recover so quickly. They lock on in a grappling fight and she’s hauled to her hind legs to meet him eye to eye. Fierce meets fierce and even from here, unable to do anything while they are close together like that, I can taste her desire to end this with him. Sierra has finally come to meet the man who kept her locked up for a decade and my heart plummets and knees weaken as she turns her head slightly to me with a strange still calm to her aura.
I know we’re not bound anymore. I’m a witch remember. Some things I just know and being a seer meant you would never be able to hide it from me. Take care of my son and my grandbabies. I love you. Now get out, all of you. This is between us.
Sierra’s voice rips through the link, silencing everything, and my blood and heart stop cold in my body as I am gripped by the fear of her words. Strangled instantly with emotion, choked to a rooted spot, and yet not shock…because somewhere deep down I already knew this. I could feel it in her earlier. Her aura changed, her warrior stood up, and in my heart I already suspected. I wanted to ignore it and have hope she would cling to life to protect us, but now it’s suffocated down, and I am faced with the fact that Sierra came here to end Juan and die in the process.
She knew….. We shouldn’t have unbound her. She already figured it out.
Oh my god, she knew.
No Turning Back
A cold wave takes over my body and once again time seems to slow at an unnatural pace as I take in all that surrounds me. Radar in the corner, being held down by Leyanne as she tries to remove the metal in his body that can kill him. While he’s reaching out, trying to get up. The desperation in his eye as the love of his life takes on her enemy but the toxin is already removing any strength he has left. He’s powerless to do anything in his state.
I turn my head at the collision of wolf on wolf among the guards, Sierra, and Juan in the midst of it all. It’s bloody chaos, tearing at one another and throwing claws and punches as they grapple and roll around me. Noise and debris clouding the air and yet I am rooted to my spot.
Sierra stands nose to nose on hind legs, raising her smaller frame to what was once our formidable alpha and I am fixated on the two joined bodies as they grip onto one another, eyes locked in fierce battle, claws submerged into each other’s bodies. The tension and sheer malice between them reverberate in the air, like a vibrating frequency and I can taste the venom. Sierra pulls herself up to meet him, closer to his sheer size and I can tell she has no intention of backing down or making this easy on him. Juan seemed amused that in his last hours of his life, it’s his once weak mate who chooses to target him.
I cry out as Sierra makes the first move, throwing herself with all her might into him. Thrusting claws and fangs at his body so she knocks him back from his stance and while unsteady she has the upper hand. She withdraws one bloodied set of claws, pulling from ripping flesh, swipes straight for his face and catches him across the muzzle in a piercing grip. I blink and almost miss the sudden speed as my senses return and the clock spins forward.
