Chapter 470 - Fated To The Alpha (Complete Fated Series collection)
Eziah
The moment we reach the old mine, we step into a war zone. Uncle Andrei is being attacked from every direction, his entire body drenched in blood with Reaper Wolves spilling out from everywhere when the mind link opens up. His voice flitting through all our heads.
"They can't step into the mine! It is man made!" he growls, and it takes me a second to see what he means when I see the ominous eyes within the tree line. Andrei is trying to get them close enough to the forest for the were-bears to help, only now he is cornered and outnumbered. Kyan and Dominic step out of a portal next to me, my mother coming out of another.
Four mines we ended up at before this one, unable to get the exact coordinates from Uncle Andrei because he's been distracted. Dominic growls and immediately starts running toward Andrei to help.
"Fuck sake! Send her back, Kyan!" I hear Casen snarl, turning to see Casen step through with the open portal, with Rose forcing herself through.
"My daughter is in there!" Rose says.
Casen grabs Rose's face in his hands. "I know, but you're wasting time. I'll get her back!" Casen kisses her, shoving her through, and Kyan is quick to close it. Peering around, I try to figure out which warehouse. I've tried reaching Temperance but have been unable to, yet I feel she is alive.
"We need to get the were-bears down here," Kyan mumbles beside me before rushing off as more and more come out from everywhere and nowhere. There are hundreds. "Find the bunker! We'll get there as soon as possible!” Kyan yells out over his shoulder.
I turn to Casen, "You check that one with my father. I will go to this one," I point out when suddenly an explosion goes off tossing us back. The wind is knocked out of me and I sit up to find the gas bottles up the side exploded, Reaper Wolves are on fire, screaming as they run blindly directly into the path of the were-bears. "Kyan, we need them down here!" his father yells out over the chaos.
"Fucking working on it!" Kyan snarls and his clothes shred as Kaif comes forward. Jumping to my feet I run for the first warehouse, but the entry is immediately blocked, and I spot them coming out of elevators and stairwells when suddenly the ground starts shaking. They all stop momentarily, peering past me uncertain, I cast a glance over my shoulder to see Kaif when I realize what he is doing. The were-bears can't come down here because it's no longer a forest. Yet as black ghostly trees start sprouting from the ground, I figure out what he's doing. He's creating a forest for them.
My mother, noticing him, drops to the ground, her hands digging into the earth while my father Mateo and my uncle shield her as she starts bleeding her magic into the earth, giving it life. Trees and plants start shooting up from the ground and the place shakes like an earthquake when I’m suddenly tackled.
Wolves tear into me and Malachi shifts, his teeth tearing through them as he fights back when they start getting ripped off me. I find Maddox in my father's form, flinging them off like they're merely children.
"Go! I will be right behind you!" Maddox orders and I take off for the stairs, leaving my father to hold them back while I slip into the stairwell, only the moment it opens I am ambushed by more.
"Fuck!" I curse, knowing Temperance is only a few stairwells away from me.
"Hold on! I'm almost to you!" I mindlink Temperance, but I get no response from her, and her panic rises just as we shift and starts barreling into them when Andrei comes down the stairs followed by my father.
"What's going on upstairs?!" I yell through the mindlink.
"Kyan and Dominic are handling it. The were-bears will take over the moment they're close enough!” My father yells as he tosses another into the wall when I hear Temperance screaming through the link, and screams from the door these wolves are blocking.
As we breach the chaotic scene, my gaze immediately falls on Sage, collapsed in her chair. Andrei, bloodied and determined, rushes to her side, starting CPR in a frantic bid to revive her.
My father barrels into the room and immediately starts attacking. My eyes scan looking for Temperance only for my father, Mateo, to shove past me, his face a mask of concern, scoops up Lucas, but it's Temperance who draws my focus, her body convulsing under the relentless assault of electricity. She writhes against the floor, her naked body writhing from the electrical charge.
Her body arches and jerks as she screams and the skin on her arms split open. Thick, dark smoke drifts from her skin where the electricity has done its damage. Her hair is a frazzled mess, white and charred, her eyes a clouded milky white as they roll in her head.
My chest tightens with a combination of fear and rage when I shift causing wolves to scatter. "Where is Casey?!" Andrei screams through the mindlink.
"Does anyone see Casey?!" He urges as he pumps Sage's chest, her body limp on the cold hard ground as we fight to push the Reaper Wolves back for him while trying to get to Temperance, who is still convulsing in the chair. Temperance's body stops and the lights flicker oddly, glancing over her body arches like a bow. I can see the jolt of the electricity course through her body as it leaves her limp in the chair.
The room erupts into a maelstrom of violence. Reaper Wolves launch themselves at us, fangs bared and claws extended. But nothing prepares me for the transformation of Satish and my scream echoes throughout the room, feeling the agony of his bite when he sinks his teeth into her.
