behind. There were two different fights going on, the pack fight and the Alpha fight. I had no idea what to do. I was so confident in kicking Aceā€™s ass but the moment he showed up, I ran. I didnā€™t want to hurt him, but I didnā€™t want him to hurt Jackle. The only way to stop it, was to stop it myself. I stepped out from behind the tree, and began to walk towards the Alpha fight. Go for the head of the problem. I opened my mouth, ready to distract them. ā€œHey! Mutts!ā€ that was not my voice. I closed my mouth and hid back behind my tree. Coward. My wolf grumbled, depressed from not being given a chance to battle.

The battle had stopped. Whoever it was that said that, had pissed off two whole packs of wolves. Unlucky move. I scanned the small open field that was the battle field, but other than the wolves, there was no one else here. Then I realised where the wolves were looking. Up. I traced their gaze, as I realised what was going on, my memory took me back to the night all this madness began.

A flying person. No wings. Just, hovering.

I felt queasy, as the moonlight shone onto the face of someone I had literally just said Iā€™d leave far behind. The prince. More reason to keep my ass hidden. He surely had thought Iā€™d left town long ago now, I decided it was better he thought that way.

ā€œYou are dull enough to think you will be the only ones to live in a place like this?ā€ Kade laughed, ā€œYou are fighting for a useless battle. No one will truly win.ā€ He barked, his aggressive tone echoing as wolves began to shift back to human form.

ā€œPrince of Vampires,ā€ Jackal bowed, as he steadied his footing from his shift. ā€œI had not heard that you resided here. Accept my dearest apologies,ā€ I heard Ace scoff,

ā€œPosh bastard,ā€ Ace laughed at Jackalā€™s apologies to Kade.

ā€œShut your trap, wolf!ā€ Kade snapped, as he flew, no, literally stepped his way down from his floating position above the trees. ā€œYou are at no position to scoff, I know who you are truly know. So, my choice is not in your favour.ā€ Ace gulped. Jackal stood back up from his bow, masking his accomplishment to gain favouring with a professional blank expression. I guess Kade is a special person. But then again, thatā€™s quite obvious, since the guy is literally a Prince. But I didnā€™t really treat him like it. Woops.

ā€œPrince, if you wouldnā€™t mind elaborating what your choice of favouring would mean exactly?ā€ Jackalā€™s question read my mind. What in the hell did Kade mean.

ā€œThe choice of who shares the territory of this town.  As known by its ancient name, Therelia.ā€

This is a joke. Theyā€™re acting like this place is worth their lives, like ā€˜Thereliaā€™ was something special. Thereā€™s nothing special about this hell hole minus the fact that thereā€™s a vampire pub owned by a vampire prince who lived in a vampire mansion in the woods. This was like some kind of story youā€™d say to a kid to make sure they didnā€™t go near something or place.

ā€œIā€™ve been informed of 3 present Alphaā€™s in town, so instead of settling this withā€ Kade paused, with a look of disgust, ā€œbrutalityā€¦ Iā€™ve decided I shall split the territory into quarters. 1 quarter containing my residence, that you shall not enter without warning. And the other 3 to be set as one per Alpha. This will be a game of wits. The winner takes 3 out of the 4 quarters. I am being extremely generous, do not make any mistake to destroy this generosity.ā€ He pulled out a massive roll of paper from the insides of his suit pants, ripping it into three parts, dropping them at the feet of Jackal and Ace and a third one at the tree I hid behind. He grinned my way before stepping back up and into the night sky.

What.

The.

Actual.

Hell.

He must have known I was there the whole time. That dramatic son of a bitch. As I stared at the sky angrily, a throat cleared behind me. How did someone get behind me? I turned slowly.

ā€œWill you ever leave me be, or are you just obsessed with being around me?ā€ a familiar lop-sided grin felt like a slap to my face as it greeted me. This guy seriously needs to be taught a lesson. That lesson should not include his shirt. Fuck. No. donā€™t think about that!

ā€œAce, donā€™t be a hypocrite. Youā€™re a creep.ā€ I press myself against the tree, making as much space as possible between us. ā€œI see you still have no clue what personal space means, I would love to teach you. My way.ā€ I said sarcastically.

ā€œWeā€™ve got better things to do,ā€ Jackalā€™s voice came from behind the tree, I spun around the tree quickly to stand next to Jackal and get more space between myself and Ace before my two-faced temptations won me over. Ace clearly disagreed, taking a step ahead and leaning on the tree, with a face of new anger I hadnā€™t seen on him. Was heā€¦. Jealous of Jackal? Hah! He seriously is!

ā€œGoing green, Ace?ā€ I sneered, pushing his obvious temptations to continue his fight.

ā€œDonā€™t tempt the boy, trouble is not to be caused if we want to win.ā€ Jackal put a hand on my shoulder as I had done earlier. The word boy being used to describe Ace suggested otherwise.

ā€œWe?ā€ Ace laughed, ignoring our jabs at his ego. ā€œSheā€™s not stupid enough to be with you at her own free will. Hand her over, and no trouble will be cause.ā€ He stood back up on his own two feet, a murderous look on his, hot, face. Damnit, stop thinking like that.

ā€œI say we,ā€ Jack began to smile, ā€œBecause that is the correct word to use, considering our alliance. That we made. At our own free will.ā€ Aceā€™s face flew with shock,

ā€œThatā€™s not possible sheā€™s notā€¦.ā€

ā€œIā€™m not what? Ace? Not strong enough?! Iā€™ll have you know that earlier today I fought with the King of Vampires. And won.ā€ I finished his sentence, boasting about the fight that was technically a tie. But I surely wouldā€™ve won anyway. I congratulated myself, earning more eye-widening from Ace.

Ace turned to Jackal, ā€œI wouldā€™ve noticed. Itā€™s not possibleā€ but Jackal just smiled even wider,

ā€œThen I guess youā€™re not very observant, especially of the moon stance tonightā€ Jackal sneered, suddenly turning me around and pushing me into the bright moonlight that had just before coated Kade.

ā€œWhat was that for?!ā€ I yelled, but the words came out as a whisper. I looked towards the moon, a red cloud beginning to cover it and change the colour of its light. I lifted my hand and it was red. Not just red. It was glowing. Different to the glow I left on Kade and Jackā€™s wounds that made me feel weirdly calm. It was a bright, angry red. I looked back at Jack and Ace, Jack was smiling proudly, but Ace was yelling something I couldnā€™t hear even thought he was just a couple of metres away from me.

I couldnā€™t hear him over someone growling. Where was that growling coming from? It was deafening.

But then I realised.

I was the one growling.

Chapter 40 >> Lana's view

 

ā€œWeā€™re close, be prepared.ā€ one of my men informed me from behind me. I was glad weā€™d met up with them early, we had to be prepared for the battle together.

ā€œPrepared for what? The Ace I know isnā€™t smart enough to pull together an ambushā€ The woman I allied along with laughed. But what if the Alpha she knew is different now. My wolf warned me, speaking my mind. As she chuckled, I heard the pang of a bow string as a thin object flew past her. My reflexes jumped, catching the arrow before it flung past me. I turned to see a drop of blood drop  onto her shoe, and watched as her hand flew to her nose that had a small scrape at the tip of it.

ā€œYou were wrong, by the looks of itā€ I dropped the arrow and stalked towards the direction of its travel. The messenger for Ace from earlier stepped out from the tree heā€™d hidden behind.

ā€œThat shot was meant for you,ā€ He snarled. I snarled back.

ā€œRun back to your Alpha, tell him we begin, Now!ā€ I ordered, still trying to have a shred of decency for the code that they seemed to have abandoned by using a weapon. The man stood there and looked me straight in the eyes.

ā€œHe already knows,ā€ a creepy grin crossed his face, ā€œItā€™s already begun.ā€ I heard yelling from my men and snarls from an unknown source. I turned around to see 2 wolves already fighting my men, some attempting to fight back with their bare hands, shielding those who were shifting. The training I had given them had clearly worn off. But where was the girl. My wolf reminded me. I searched the battle, but she wasnā€™t there. A growl from behind me made me spin on my heels. Ready to attack if I needed to. I smelled the Alpha before I saw him. He was in wolf form already. Two can play that game. I whistled, and took a step back as 2 of my best fighters appeared to guard me as I shifted.

Chapter 40 >> Lanaā€™s view

Stop cowering and get in there, my wolf begged for me to appear from behind the tree I hid behind. There were two different fights going on, the pack fight and the Alpha fight. I had no idea what to do. I was so confident in kicking Aceā€™s ass but the moment he showed up, I ran. I didnā€™t want to hurt him, but I didnā€™t want him to hurt Jackle.
