ALPHA SIN

ARTEMISIA POV

I attempted to follow Sin as I glimpsed him running into the building, but Mila tugged me back and insisted we did a barrier spell in the vicinity

No one would get out and no one would come in as well if we did.

I believe it was the perfect plan, seeing as some of our members were down. Yet, we still stood strong.

I noticed the pack we were trying to fight off had transformed.

They could do so, and I reckoned it was because the moon was with them.

Unlike the pack, I was in.

And I feel as though they had that advantage on us as well.

They seemed stronger and more energetic.

I sighted some werewolves in our pack panting whilst some were down and didn’t bother standing up.

But we tried our best. With the help of Laurent and Allison also, the witches and the Blood Moon pack werewolves outside were down.

“The hall is next. The Alpha is in there!” Laurent yelled, darting in without waiting for a response.

It wasn’t the first time I had seen him doing something impulsively. It was the first time he was helping Sin without thinking too much about it.

I believed despite their siblings’ rivalry; he loved his brother and wouldn’t let any harm come his way.

I flinched as I felt a hand on mine. My eyes turned to Mila, and she smiled sheepishly.

“We need to go in there as well. We need to help them.”

I nodded. “We are part of the pack, so it is our job as witches to help them.”

Mila and I held hands whilst the other witches followed suit.

As we stepped towards the building, we created barriers on each spot, shutting out loopholes to not allow any escape.

I was certain a witch was as well in the building because it took us a while to break the protective spell that was placed as well before we infiltrated the building.

They had expected us, but I guess we acted smarter.

“Where is Artemisia?!”

I heard Sin yell at Allison.

“I am here,” I said, making eye contact with him as I tried to navigate through the crowd.

I saw him heave a breath, and I mouthed, ‘I am alright’ as he kept searching my face.

The battle went on almost immediately and I yanked off the dagger from the sheath as I withdrew it from the pocket of the cargo pant I donned.

I elbowed a werewolf, I sensed, trying to sneak up on me and slit his throat.

I grimaced as blood gushed out of the cut I made and gagged.

“Disgusting.” I twisted my face and wrinkled my nose as he fell to the ground.

“Watch out!”

I heard Mila yell out, and I turned, but it was a bit too late.

However, before he could slam into me, Alisson intercepted him midway.

She clutched his head, sank her teeth through his neck and bit it until she severed his head.

She flashed a bloody smile my way and shrugged as I gagged once more.

I turned my attention back to where I saw Sin, but he wasn’t there.

Only Laurent and Alisson had resumed her position with him.

“Where is Sin?” I asked Julie as she sidled to my side.

“I don’t know.” She mumbled, punching the man fighting with her in the nose.

She winced and assessed her hand. “Shit, that hurts!”

“I saw him running in that direction, though. I guess the biggest fry is that way,” she added, perhaps sensing my worry.

“Thanks,” I mumbled and sprinted out of the hall without having a dagger plunged into me or a werewolf tearing my limb.

I turned the first corner I saw and came to a large medieval door.

I did the handle and noticed it was locked.

I tried to kick the door, but it was no use. It seemed like a magical spell had been used to shut it.

I sensed Sin was in the room and I needed to get to him as soon as I could.

“Resigno,” The door opened, and I slipped into the room.

I was glad I came on time as a girl about my age or younger jumped to the centre of the room.

I saw her eyes flash golden, and I realised what she was about to do.

“Sopor,”

“Incido,” I yelled, countering the spell she wanted to shoot at Sin.

I glared at her and turned my gaze to Sin.

“And oh, his lovely Luna.”

The man I assumed was the Alpha of the pack and the person we were fighting off chuckled.

He was a tall man. I had thought the person we were going to meet would be at least 6ft and some inches, but the man I was staring at was a giant.

I couldn’t stare into his face for too long, as it kept changing from one form to another.

At first, he looked like a normal man with a chiselled face and prominent cheekbones, whilst another time he was looking like a wolf.

I believed the more I glanced at him, the more he changed into something else.

So, I deterred my gaze from him.

“We just want the f**king moon.” I gritted my teeth, “And we’ll be out of your hair.”

I believe he was trying to play mind games with us, and I didn’t want that.

“You bitch!” My attention shifted back to the girl, and she grunted from where she sat on the floor. “How dare you attack me?!”

“You literally were about to attack my mate.” I retorted and saw a small smile playing on his lips.

“Don’t you think it’s a little dangerous to be here with me?” Sin asked me.

“You should be happy I came here on time, else you’d have disintegrated.” I scowled.

He was always putting himself in danger. I wonder if he thinks sometimes before he does anything.

He shrugged and shook his head. I extended my hand toward him.

I didn’t know what that was for. But I believed it was to support each other. I don’t know who was going to leave here alive, but we needed to try our best to stay alive.

The goddess had done their part in the prophecy. They had helped me in one way and the other.

Goddess Trivia had helped me train to become better and even given me some special spells.

Spells only I knew of. The goddess Artemis revealed a lot of things to me through dreams as well.

Even though it was annoying seeing her all the time. And it was with her help I was able to obtain the map with me.

Now, it was left to us. Sin and I, the rest of the pack, to defeat the enemy.

“I am glad you are here.” Sin mumbled, squeezing my hand. “At least I don’t have to worry about how you are doing.”

I nodded and looked into his eyes. “We can talk about this later. Now, we need to take out these people and take back the moon.”

“That’s right.” He smiled. “And please, be careful!”

He hollered at me as I darted towards the girl.

I gave him a thumbs up, my eyes not leaving the girl as she stood to her feet.

“You think you can take me on?” She asked. Her eyes twitched and she let out a peal of laughter.

“I know I can,” I responded.

The girl mumbled and set a fireball my way, but I dodged it and let it hit the wall.

“Ventus,” I mumbled, sending her flying backwards.

“Bitch!” she shrieked and stood again. “I’ll make you suffer.”

I snorted and looked back at Sin. My brows creased as I saw the Alpha of Blood Moon pack gripping his neck. I wanted to dart towards him, but I halted, clutching my side.

“Dolor.” She said, taking me by surprise.

I winced and wheezed. “What the hell was that?”

“That is one of my ultimate spells, and you can’t get out of it.” The girl came forward and yanked my hair.

I wanted to stand on my feet, but I couldn’t. I was in so much pain. More than I could explain.

“Both of you are weak.” I heard the Alpha say, before kicking Sin.

“Sin…” I gritted my teeth whilst sensing his pain.

I believe he could feel mine as well since we were mates.

The girl pulled harder on my hair and I yelped in pain.

If only I could draw some powers for Sin from the moon…

For some reason, Sin was weak. He should be stronger since he was close to the moon. It was the opposite.

Sin was the strongest werewolf I had ever come across. He never gave up and always empowered himself to face off even the strongest werewolf

But here was, cowering in the presence of the Alpha and about giving up as well.

‘Concentrate on the moon…’

My breath hitched in my throat as I heard a soft voice.

It was the goddess Trivia. My eyes flickered around the room in search of her, even if I could see her shadow.

I saw nothing, only the rustling of curtains.

“She is here,” I mumbled to myself. The rustling of curtains indicated she was trying to help me again.

My eyes fixated on the moon and, for a long time, nothing happened.

I was about to give up when I saw something flash.

I stretched forth my hands and gritted my teeth, “Goddess Hecate, grant me this strength and empower Sin to defeat the enemy. Even if it is the last power, I can ever have. I’ll be happy to die instead of him, Imperium!”

I drew the light with all the strength left in me and shot it at Sin.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing him growl was the last thing before I collapsed.
