Chapter 69 – Taking Down The Enemies
REESE’S POV
“I was not expecting Demon to call for the sudden war at midnight. My heart almost jumped out when I heard about it” Savannah said anxiously as she patted her son’s back who was sleeping keeping his head on her shoulder.
“It was destined, whether we wanted it or not, we all have expected it anyway” Tanea sighed “I really hated war. This battle in the name of saving pack would kill many, and let the survivors suffer for life time”
“Since we have born in here it’s our destiny” Adriana replied. “we really can’t stop it. I sometimes think that human life is better than ours. At Least, they don’t have to face such a fierce battle. Their lives aren’t bounded in such rules”
“You can’t say that” I shook my head in disagreement. “Whether it’s humans or werewolves, we are born to fight. Though there are no physical battles like us in their life, they still struggle till they die. They also had the pain, sufferings, betrayal and hardships. Other than the shapeshifting ability our lives are comparable”
“She is right, I have experienced it” Savannah added, “I lived over 16 years thinking I was a human bred. I have faced humiliation, pain and turning from others. I wondered at that time being a werewolf is great and I used to curse myself because I wasn’t one of them. But after the betrayal when I ran away and found my original being, though I was glad but after experiencing the events I finally understood we all are the same” she shook her head.
“Demon is considered strong and powerful. I heard when he fights he doesn’t stop until the opposition party dies in his hands and he baths in their blood. Just thinking about the scenery makes me puke” Adriana made a disgusting face. “I know Cassius is not alone there and I have faith in his ability but battlefield is something that doesn’t let the heart go in peace” we sighed unison. What she worries about is familiar to us.
I looked at the closed door of the hall and felt my heart tightening in my chest. I couldn’t help but worry about him. Though I couldn’t stop this mess, I also want him to return safely.
“Don’t worry, he will be fine. He is not alone there and the other party won’t be able to take any advantages” I heard Savannah say trying to console my anxious heart.
I chuckled “saying the one who was worrying a moment ago”
She laughed nervously. “I can’t help it”
“Since we have kids here, we also needed to prepare ourselves. We need to be cautious about our surroundings and couldn’t let any untoward to happen and put us in disadvantage” Tanea said and we nodded. She is right. At this moment we couldn’t take any risk. Savannah and Adriana need to safeguard their sons. While Tanea and I will protect them if any situation arises to fight.
“Reese, why don’t you hold Aldric? I mean if you take care of him, I help better” Savannah said, making me frown.
“What are you saying?” I shook my head “you are his mother and he needs you more than me. Don’t talk nonsense now, keep him close to you”
She sighed, “but you are still recovering yourself from the last hit. I know you have healed your wound and rested well but that doesn’t mean your body could withstand any hard blow. Though you have stabilized your formation but you still needs time to strengthen it to be better”
I smiled “don’t worry I am fine. My body is completely healed now. I can fight like before and I also have started training myself again. It’s just a matter of time. And we are werewolves, we heal faster than ordinary humans and regain our strength” I said trying to assure her.
“Will you be fine?” She still looked worried.
I nodded “I am perfectly fine. You just need to protect yourself and your son, okay?”
“Don’t worry, we will be sticking together so even if there’s a situation to fight, we will help each other” , Adriana said interrupting us. “As long as we stay together, we can handle any battle isn’t it?”
I smiled “right, let them come of they want, we won’t be backing off anyway ”
“Hell, I have been practicing rough punching. The punching bag was also torn because of my practice. Now it looks like I can practice some more with living target” Tanea rolled her shirt sleeves. “It will be kind of fun if there any opportunities”
“You look so energetic. You are damn excited about this war aren’t you?” I rolled my eyes. I am sure she is looking forward to fighting with enemies.
“Of course I am. I also want to join the battle outside. But Devak clearly instructed me not to go outside and let them handle it. Fuck, that man always shoves me behind and took credit for all right himself” Tanea huffed.
“Come on he is just afraid you will get hurt” Savannah tried to comfort her.
“Afraid for what?” Tanea rolled her eyes in annoyance. “he just wanted to show off his abilities. He wanted to prove he is the best Alpha living in the pack. I mean come on I am Luna for heaven’s sake yet he wouldn’t let me do anything and prepare everything by himself. Where is the fair in this situation?”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“We are facing war yet you are still complaining?” I shook my head.
“This is why I really want to take a chance to kill a few,” Tanea grinned. “I have faith in them and also know they were prepared for this. But as a Luna I also have to live up to my title and name, I couldn’t let all the men take advantage of the situation and present themselves as the only hero” Team huffed.
“Funny, Devak will faint if he hears your words” Savannah mocked making Tanea pout her lips.
The commotion outside the door started to grow wider which caught our attention. It felt like they would barge in any minute.
“Have you heard? It felt like the fight was fierce outside” Adriana looked at the door seriously.
“I guess they are changing their plan. Of course a Satan like Demon wouldn’t only target the males. Their kind would like to use all possible cards to ensure their winning ” Tanea gritted her teeth.
“I really hate this unruly creature. Why did the Moon Goddess make him so vicious? A heartless monster who only drinks others’ blood to safeguard himself” Savannah cursed him.
“Their kind is here that’s why we are here too” I said, fixing my gaze at the door. If there’s no evil then how could angels live in this world? Of course there have to opposite sites to attract each other”
“What a definition, Demon should listen that you are praising him behind his back” Tanea teased.
I rolled my eyes “I was merely stating the fact”
Suddenly the door was bumped causing us startled. We looked at the door again. The closed door continued to shake if someone tried to invade inside.
“They are trying to attack us,” Adriana said. “Be cautious,” she warned. Immediately a few women rushed in the hall and stood in the middle. They are the maids working in the mansion. They stood like a stone wall, like they were protecting us by shielding. The door continuously shook before it suddenly flung open since it couldn’t take the hit anymore. As soon as the door opened a few men rushed in, but blocked by the maids. They were in position looking at the intruders.
“Stay behind, you aren’t allowed to come forward,” one of the maids yelled.
“Humph, a bunch of idiots” one of the black clothed men mocked “get out of the way. Today we will ensure Silver Shine never existed in this world”
“Bastard, who are you to decide? Who gave you such an idea that fools like you would have the chance to fight with us? Scoundrels” Tanea shouted at them.
“What are you looking for? Attack” the black clothed man barked angrily to his men before they charged towards us and started to fight with those maids. Those maids originally looked weak yet when they were fighting and blocking the enemies they were really skilled.
“Since they have invaded inside I guess it wasn’t all” just as Adriana’s words fell out of nowhere another group of enemies rushed in.
“Prepare” Tanea yelled, “they are here, I guess they used secret methods just to reach up here and take control over the situation”
“We have no choice but to fight them” I gritted my teeth.” Adriana, Savannah, take care of the kids and stay behind if possible. We have got this and block the attack from the front” I told them. Savannah and Adriana moved backwards. Their son was still in their arms as they made the position. Tanea and I stood together glaring at our enemies.
Those black clothed men didn’t utter a word as they rushed towards us. Their intentions were clear, to kill us. That bastard Demon knows well that if anything happens to Adriana and others the males fighting outside would get weakened and he could easily control them. But did Demon really think we women are easily bullied?
“Bastards, kill them” I shouted as Tanea and I jumped on the enemies and started to fight with them. I kicked one of them before shoving another. Tanea grabbed one of the black clothed men and started to throw punches on his face. Well she was right about her punching practice. She is making good use of it.
“Reese behind you” Savannah’s concerned time reached my ear and I moved my body as dodged the attack of the enemy. I glared at the man and angled my body before raising my leg and kicked his chest. His body flew away before falling on the ground.
“You scoundrel what the fuck you think of yourself” Tanea screamed and jumped on the back of the man who was lying on the ground. He puked out a mouthful of blood. As I turned around I saw another man reach towards Adriana and about to grab her.
“Squat Adriana” I yelled and grabbed the vase on the table before throwing it towards him. Adriana immediately sat down and the vase hit the head of the enemy. Savannah at the side turned around and threw a punch to the man behind her making him stumbled backward before falling on the floor. Soon the floor was covered by the black clothed man. Those maids who were fighting stood at the side as they defeated the enemies. Few of them were hurt during the fight.
“Go get your wounds treated” Adriana ordered.
I looked at the enemies being thrown on the floor lifelessly. I looked up to see the fight was still on outside. No matter how much I want to go out and take a look I can’t.
I just hope everything is fine out there.
