Lyla's POV
"Hey Ashley, have you seen Devante around here?"
Few minutes after Damon left, I decided to do something that I thought of. I went in search of Devante first and when I didn't see him, I searched for Ashley.
I found her sitting with Blue under one of those trees, happily reading a book to him.
"Nope, I haven't seen him all morning. Have you checked his room?" She asked.
"No,"
"Trust me, he's busy with whatever he knows how to do best" She rolled her eyes.
"We can't be too sure about that. Shall we check up on him?"
"I'm not going to be doing that with you. Moreover, I'm still recuperating and I can't move that much" she explained.
"That's the exact reason why I didn't want to stress you. I need someone's help and there's nobody I can ask apart from you and Devante"
"What do you want to do?" She asked.
"Hmm…." I moved closer to her so I could explain it to her secretly. "Damon showed me the Pack's safehouse and I wanted to take some things there in case of anything" I whispered.
"You don't have to whisper about that, Lyla. Everyone knows about the safehouse" She whispered back, laughing at me.
"Whatever," I rolled my eyes at her.
"I can help you with that," She replied finally. "Blue, come on," she dragged the little boy by his hand and pulled him after us as we walked into the kitchen.
We got a few snacks, lots of tissue papers, water basically in large quantities, and some blankets.
Also, we tried cleaning up the safe house to reduce the dust and by the time we were done, we both were exhausted even though Ruth joined in and helped at some point.
"I need a shower, I stink," Ashley groaned.
"Me too," I agreed.
We moved out of the safe-house and we all went our separate ways except for Blue who followed me to my room. I got to my room and took my bath while Blue stayed in the living area, playing a video game.
By the time I finished showering, Blue was already asleep. I covered him with a blanket and changed to a TV channel that was showing an Indian movie.
Forty minutes into the movie, Blue woke up startled. He stood abruptly, looking around intensely.
"Hey Blue, calm down, all is fine, baby boy" I pulled him closer and hugged him to myself. He was breathing heavily and I could tell that he was scared.
"I'm sorry I scared you Luna" he apologized.
"It's okay, Blue. You're safe here, okay?" He nodded.
He hesitated for a minute, "Luna, can I sleep here tonight? If I do, my uncle won't be able to come for me since it's the Alpha's apartment" He pleaded and I nodded.
"It's no problem Blue, you can stay here. Are you hungry?"
We took the elevator down to the kitchen to get some food. By the time we got there, the kitchen was empty. I frowned as it became clear that the faint noises heard upstairs were not just normal pack noises.
It was people screaming.
People were screaming. I held Blue's hand tightly and we walked slowly towards the door to see half of the pack on fire.
"Luna," Blue panicked.
I swallowed hard.
A scream pulled my attention to a woman as she was being ripped off by a vampire. He dug his fangs into her neck and pulled her neck out of her head.
Blue yelled as soon as I did. I pulled him and made him face me and not the gory scene.
Our scream got the vampire's attention and he began walking towards us.
"Don't bother running wolf, you're dead already"
"I wasn't planning on running, because I know you can't touch me. You wouldn't dare to"
I don't know where the courage was coming from but I knew those words at the back of my mind, came to my mouth before I could stop myself.
Even before I could blink he was right in front of me, I pulled Blue closer into my leg and waited for his attack.
His Doom!
As he stretched his hands to touch me, a black huge wolf pulled him back, dragging his body against the concrete floor. The pressure the wolf attacked was so much that the Vampire's struggle couldn't save him.
I made use of that opportunity and ran towards the safe house, I entered the password and ran inside with Blue. Once we got in, I realized why the others weren't there.
Damon had changed the password.
I groaned loudly.
"Can you mind-link the others?" I asked Blue and he shook his head.
"I don't have my wolf yet. Without it, I can't mind-link others. I'm sorry"
"It's okay, Blue. Just stay here, okay? I'll be back soon" he held onto my dress not letting go.
"Please," He begged.
"I need to leave. I promise that I'll be back soon, okay? You're strong Blue, have faith in yourself" I kissed his hair and quickly rushed out of the safe house in search of others.
As I opened the door leading to the safehouse, I saw a good number of wolves waiting outside, including Ashley and some women.
"Thank Goodness. Mindlink others, let every surviving wolf come here" I instructed as I directed them all into the safehouse.
"What about you?"
Ashley asked. "You need to come inside as well"
I smirked. "Don't worry. I can kick some Vampire's asses, remember?" I winked at her and she smiled sadly.
"Be safe"
"I will, I promise" She walked in and I locked the door behind her. I stood close to the door, guarding it against any intruders.
I'll love to watch some vampires burn to death!
Damon's POV
"We have to lure them out of our pack, that's the only way we can keep them safe" I growled as anger rushed through my veins, blood, and through my entire system.
"How are we supposed to do that?" George asked, holding the side of his stomach that has been injured. He was weak and I was scared for him.
We were currently a few kilometers outside the pack, laying low till we could think of a plan.
I'd wanted to go in to look for Lyla but I realized I shouldn't. That might get the both of us killed.
"Every mystic creature on Earth needs uranium. Why don't we use that to lure them out?"
"How?"
"I'll need to go to the borders. If they see the Alpha who's blabbering about having uranium, they should succumb and Tunde could go in"
"That's dangerous, Damon. It could get you killed and it might not work"
"It wouldn't, I'm so sure of that. You don't have to worry about me, Tunde. All that's needed from you is to make sure you get into the pack after I've managed to lure them out and erect in the uranium around the packhouses and the safe house. We'll extend the width of its power later" I explained.
"I don't want to do that shit. I can't take care of your mate if you die" He yelled.
"I won't die. Trust me this time" I barked.
"You three should stay here, we'll send a signal once everything has died down" Moon nodded aggressively.
I shifted and ran towards the pack borders. One thing was on my mind as I ran, a prayer for God to keep Lyla safe. I might lose my senses if I lose her.
As soon as I moved close to the borders, a wolf attacked me. I growled loudly once I realized it was true. Our own people have betrayed us. They had joined forces with vampires to kill us off.
I attacked the wolf back, biting down on its neck, it cried out in pain before I let go of the body. It staggered and dropped to the floor, either dead or unconscious.
"Son, I wasn't expecting you to be out of the borders" I didn't need to turn before I knew who it was.
I shifted back to my human form when he wasn't expecting and sprang towards him, I held him by the neck and lifted him.
"I thought you were dead, Father," I replied with disgust. "I thought they said you died a long time ago"
"Da___damo,__" he coughed out, struggling in my hold. I had half shifted and the strength I was using wasn't mine, it was that of my wolf.
His eyeballs were almost removed from its socket as tears rolled down his eyes.
"You deserve to die, you deserve to fucking die. You fucking betray your people for a bunch of bloodsuckers" I growled, ignorant of my surrounding.
"Damon, behind you!"
I dropped his body and turned in the direction of Tunde's voice. A knife missed me by a second and when I looked to check its final destination, it ended in my father's chest.
He struggled to breathe as he crawled backwardly.
"I wanted to kill him more heroically, I swear. I didn't know his death would be this sooner" An older vampire called Liryc walked into the scene. I've heard stories about him and pictures of him but this was the first time I'll ever see him.
"Your father was an ambitious man. He had dreams of being the king of werewolves and he thought my help was what he needed. I'm nobody's puppet" He clicked his tongue repeatedly.
Tunde stood close beside me.
"Leave," I told him through the mind link and glared at him.
"I'm not leaving you alone," He replied.
"Think about Pearl before you get yourself killed" I reminded him.
"Pearl…" He stopped, not saying anything else.
"What happened with Pearl?"
"Let's focus on the issue on ground, Damon"
As I turned to glare at him, I heard the sharp cock of a gun. Before I could turn to look at what was going on, Tunde pushed me out of the way, ready to escape the bullet. Unfortunately, it went through his head and I watched my friend stand still for a minute before he dropped to the floor in a loud thud.
"Tunde, Tunde, come on, breathe" I screamed as I held him.
"I__ told you_" He coughed out blood.
"Stop talking asshole," I yelled.
"My allegiance lies with you even if you're cursed" He finished and gave me his infamous smile.
"I don't care, Tunde. I don't give a damn, shift, you'll heal faster that way, fucking shift"
"I can't! It's silver" he groaned in pain.
"Tunde! Please! Please!!" for the first time in a long time, I cried.
He went limp suddenly in my hand.
I turned to look at the vampire through the tears in my eyes and saw him grinning. That triggered my anger.
Angrily, I removed the knife from Victor, my father's chest, and slashed my palm with it.
"What the fuck is this weirdo doing?" One of the younger vampires who had joined in asked, laughing like a fool.
I growled loudly. Loud enough to shake the trees and disturb the oceans. Instantly, I shifted into the curse that I was.
I wasn't a regular lycan. I was the only lycan, the only type of my species. I wasn't born naturally. Even though my mother was pregnant with me, the witches called me out and named my wolf, *Bestia Sin Nombre*
A beast without a name!
Everything that walks my path dies, every creature that tests my strength perishes, every grass underneath my feet rots, my strength is enough to destroy nations.
I'm not a regular wolf, I'm a true lycan breed. The first of its kind, the creation of the witches, the son of an Alpha.
I growled once more before I blacked out, killing everything that crosses my path.
