Chapter 37


Aiden.

In a second, Mel is standing in front of me with her hands on my chest.

"Aiden, they will be here in ten minutes," she says as her shiny eyes wander all over my face.

'Assemble the soldiers, pack attack' I quickly send my beta the message, and I trust Carl won't waste time.

She doesn't have to say it again to know who's coming.

"Fight beside me, under no circumstances should you move an inch from me," she says in determination, she's trying to be strong but I know she is scared.

This will be her first time dealing with a battle and even though I don't want her to, I understand she feels obliged to be there.

"I will, let's go" I hurriedly notify holding her hand but she pulls me back with force.

When did she become this strong?

Her wet hair starts glowing and moving like it's being blown by the wind.

"Damn!" Jessy exclaims but no one gives her attention.

The power Mel is releasing makes me wanna submit to her.

"You don't understand, if something happens to you I will die" her sparkling palms tenderly holds my face and I close my eyes humming to the feeling.

I slowly wrap my arms around her waist pulling her body closer. I must admit, this side of Mel kinda scares me but at the same time, it's comforting.

I'm sure if she snaps those fingers or moves them the wrong way, everything in this room will tumble down.

"Nothing will happen to me baby, I will be careful okay?" I whisper but I can't read her red eyes, I'm used to the blue ones.

She stands on her toes pulling my head down and gently places her lips on mine.

It's just a peck but it is so intense than a normal kiss.

This side of her intensifies everything even holding her this way feels like am holding an electric cable. Only that it's not hurting me.

"I love you," she says pulling away and takes my hand.

"We have two minutes" instead of the door, she leads me to the large window in our room and whispers jump.

We land softly on the ground and everywhere is havoc, people are running from one point to another, mothers and kids running to the pack house for safety and my soldiers are already assembling.

We already trained everyone on how to behave when we are under attack.

Those who can't fight like women and kids are to go to the underground basement of the pack house and everyone else should be already armed and waiting.

"Let's go, tell your men that everyone should fight behind me" she instructs and I hastily snatch my hand from hers

"Baby, no. I know what you are trying to do, don't do this please" she thinks that if she dies in this battle everything will end.

She wanna be in front of the battlefield and let me watch her die?

"Trust me Aiden, one minute left," she says taking a step forward, completely ignoring my plea and I shortly follow her.

Carl and the assembled soldiers stare in amazement when they see my mate in a different form.

I know, I felt that way too.

"Listen " she demands in a stern voice when we approach them "Everyone should stay behind me and make sure you don't shift no matter what"

"No"

"No"

Carl and Gabriel say simultaneously and there are murmurs of doubt between my warriors.

Mel dismisses everyone's opinion and turns around inhaling deeply.

I don't even know what to do with her anymore.

"2 seconds" she shouts and everyone stops babbling and becomes alert.

"One" she yells and immediately a strong wind arises about to wipe us out, but she stretches her hands to hold the force.

Witches are here.

That's why she commanded us not to shift, witches will easily defeat us in our wolf forms than when we are humans.

A group of thousands of werewolves emerges and from the looks, we are already outnumbered.

Shit, I didn't expect they will be this much.

I can feel the worry of my pack members, I try to assure them we are gonna be okay even though I know we won't.

We have to fight our best.

Gabriel readily with his weapons, moves forward to stand beside his daughter, and I step to her right tightly holding on to mine.

I guess there is no turning back.

Mel looks at us and shakes her head in disapproval.

We won't let her do this alone.

Two women in black cloaks emerge before us both donning victorious smirks on their faces.

"Gabriel," one of them calls out taking three steps forth.

"The king sent us to get Melanie, and no one has to get hurt," she says looking at my mate and we both growl loudly.

"No one is touching my daughter you wicked creatures," Gabriel says furiously his grip on the sword tightening.

The woman laughs moving closer and my warriors growl at her warningly.

"It's either she comes with us willingly or by force, what do you choose princess? you know better" she addresses mel who has her arms crossed on her chest and blankly staring at the exchange.

She seems to be in deep thought for a while before sighing and advancing.

No please, Mel.

"Well" she turns to look at me and then her dad, both of us shake our heads at her pleadingly and she turns away.

"I choose neither" she mumbles and immediately spreads her arms towards the army of wolves.

Her eyes gleam more brightly than before and the ground starts parting and creating a huge deep crack.

There are gasps everywhere when she lifts her palms to the wolves, all of them fall into the created hole and the ground closes like nothing just happened.

Fuck.

This is extremely unbelievable.

"Shit" the witch curses looking at what just happened with fear and shock.

I can't help but sigh in relief but it's short-lived when the bitches release balls of fire on my men

Just like before, my mate stretches her glowing palms and water from nowhere quenches the fire and glides the women from their feet.

The two witches screech when the water immerses them.

My soldiers start cheering for my mate promptly forgetting we are supposed to be battling.

Without letting them breathe, Mel quickly walks towards them and to our amazement, a sharp blazing silver sword materialises in her palms.

It takes milliseconds before she swiftly releases it and the sword ends up in one of the witch's chest, directly piercing through her heart.

Fucking painful.

The other bitch disappears instantly leaving her friend on the floor bleeding, we watch as her body turns to ash and the sword disappears.

Everyone around stares at my mate with shock and wonder.

I guess my pack just met their luna.

One by one, my pack members even the ones that were in the basement and the kids, fall to their knees submitting and recognising her as their luna.

Even Gabriel does the same and it's only her and I standing.

The power in her is so much to fight but as the alpha of this pack, it will look inappropriate if I submit to my luna.

Her body starts going back to normal, her hair and hands stop blazing and when she looks at me, am glad to have my favourite blue eyes back.

"Aiden" she whispers like she just came out of a trance

"Yes baby" I quickly walk to her when she grips her head and her body starts falling.

I am able to catch her just before she loses consciousness.
