Chapter 74
‘I’ll take care of the witch,’ Freya told me through our link and ran away. I know that she’s strong; she’s a silver wolf, so I don’t have to worry about her. But she’s my mate, and I couldn’t help but feel that way. I had to settle things with Marco about what he did to my father, so I ran to him. He and the witch were together, and even if I had to deal with her because of what he did to my mother, I knew that my mate would want to have a piece of her too. Another is that she will be able to handle her since she is also a witch herself.
“You dare to fight me? I took care of you, and this is how you repay me.”Marco said while he was waiting for me. I could feel King being so angry; he was uneasy these past few weeks, and I wondered why. Then earlier, he told me that he felt that a war was coming, and this was it.
Marco shifted and ran, meeting me halfway. His Lycan was big, but mine was even bigger. He may have the power of kingship, but I am the son of a true king. And without a word, I also shifted. He has seen my beast several times, and he always says that he is not ordinary. We have also told him about King’s origin, and they have also talked through me, so I know that he knows how big the difference between our strength and power is.
He jumped at me, but I quickly dodged him. Which he thought was probably the only thing I would do. What he didn’t expect was that I was going to attack right away. After I dodged him, I also quickly jumped on his right leg and slightly scratched him. I knew he felt it because I heard him whimpering before pulling away from me slightly. I think he was cautious about attacking carelessly and was now trying to anticipate what I was going to do because he had become too calm.
I noticed a Lycan about to jump at me, but James was there to help. He quickly threw him into the air with his body, and they fell together. ‘Thank you,’ I told him through the mind link.
‘Thank me when we’re done.’ he answered before he started to fight. I saw that he had also shifted because his opponent was a head warrior and he was really strong. He knew that because he was the one who trained them.
I faced Marco, and, whether I admitted it or not, I felt a little sad because of our confrontation. He was the father I knew, and he never did anything to hurt me. We became very close, so I know how he was when it came to fighting. And that is why he easily loses his patience.
‘Matteo, behind you.’ Freya warned me through our link. So, instead of getting pinned down by another head warrior, he fell to the ground just before Marco. Because of that, I tried to look around, searching for my mate. I saw her running after the witch, who was being protected by warriors. I got worried, but I saw Calvin already on his way to help her.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
‘Be careful, baby. Don’t chase too far. I’ll finish here, and I will help you.’ I replied. Because of that sudden moment, Marco took the opportunity to lunge at me and pin me down. I fought and struggled trying to get away from him, and, thank goddess, I did, even before he got a piece of me.
King howled, and I felt everyone stop in their stance. He radiates his aura to threaten everyone and make them submit. But because Marco was the current king, he would not be that affected. But he was still shaken, and I took that chance and lunged at him. He was stunned for a moment, but his reaction was too late because I already had him by his neck.
But what I didn’t expect was that a group of rogues would come and take me away from him. Marco shifted back to his human form and laughed. “You think you can win this war? No! You don’t know me at all,” he said, and he was fast because he was in front of me in seconds with his right hand on my heart, ready to rip it. He was about to, but he was thrown away by a big blow from Marcus.
“Long time no see, little brother. Do you think you will be able to hurt my son? Think again,” he said before he jumped at him. But Marco was fast enough to dodge him. I was being held by four rogues, and now that I was back on my feet, I shoved them away before I shifted back to my human form. I jumped at the one near me and grabbed his neck before I snapped it. I saw Rapha fighting the others, and so did James. I looked for Freya and saw her fighting side by side with Calvin, so I went to Marcus and helped him.
He was in pain, but Marco was not. His mate was alive all along. “Go to Freya; rogues are still coming to her,” Marcus said, so I looked at my mate, and he was right. “I’ll take care of my brother,” he added before I nodded and left them. I guess they will have to settle it themselves.
A rogue was sneaking behind her, but I got there in time and killed it instantly. “You’re naked!” she exclaimed.
“Just fight and don’t mind me, baby,” I replied, smiling before I shifted back to King and started fighting. She was aiming for the witch, so I had to support her.
“You are supposed to be dead! Why are you here?” The witch told my mate.
“Because I am immortal,” she replied, jumping at her. She was careful earlier, but not anymore now that I am here. A rogue was about to jump at her too, but I was faster than him and sent him flying 15 meters away. Another one was going after her, trying to stop her, but Calvin was there and caught him.
“Why can’t I use my spell on you?” the witch asked while Freya was holding her by her neck.
“Because that’s my power,” she replied, snapping her neck. She was dead when Freya let her go. Then we heard a sorrowful howling. It was Marco; he was still affected by the death of his fated mate.
After that, I noticed that some warriors stopped fighting. Besides the rogues who were now on the brink of death, it was only Marco and Marcus. No one dared to get in between them and let them fight. With the death of the witch, I already know who will become the winner
