Chapter 60 Ironic
Colin’s pov,
He did not know what happened to Vanessa, but he knew he was in the presence of something out of this world, something godly. He could feel it by the way the air vibrated and he knew none of them had seen magic before. They all thought it was something the priests made up when they talked about the werewolves from centuries ago. He saw the fear that crept into his pack member’s eyes when she burned Vlad to a crisp by just looking at him. He wasn’t scared though he was just worried about Vanessa. Whatever was happening it must take a toll on her so he just wanted to know if the Vanessa he loved was okay. So he did the only thing he could do, he placed his hand on her back to let her know he was there for her. After Vlad became a bundle of ash his pack members slowly started to wake up. They all looked dazed and confused and their eyes were searching the room for their Alpha.
Vanessa’s eyes were still glowing and the voice she spoke with gave him the chills. She looked at the Russian pack members coldly and said, “YOUR ALPHA IS DEAD. YOU NOW HAVE A CHOICE JOIN ME IN BUILDING A NEW WORLD FOR OUR SPECIES OR BURN AND JOIN YOUR ALPHA.”
Their eyes immediately shot to the bundle of ash and when they realized what happened to their Alpha they started growling and Colin saw they were ready to attack. A loud bang caught everyone’s attention when the big metal doors cracked open and a big man with blond hair, a small beard, and icy blue eyes walked in. “STAND DOWN,” His voice thundered through the hall, and immediately all the Russians dropped their weapons and bowed their heads.
The moment he came in the glowing light disappeared from Vanessa’s eyes and Colin was just in time to catch her before she could fall down. He supported her so she was able to stand up, she leaned heavily against his chest while the massive Viking-looking man walked closer.
Bolt was going mental in his mind, but he had no idea what he was saying because he was too busy focusing on Vanessa and the strange man. The closer the man got the more the hairs on his arms started to rise, he felt some danger radiating from this man. The feeling of discomfort grew stronger with every step he took. Vanessa just seemed to stare at the man with disbelief in her eyes and she looked utterly lost for words. The Russians clearly respected him when he barked, “YOU WILL NOT FIGHT ANYONE FROM THE ITALIAN OR IRISH PACKS AM I CLEAR?”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
They all nodded, and Colin’s voice was low and dangerous when he finally asked, “Who are you?”
The man looked at him tauntingly, his blue gaze piercing into his own before he dropped to his knees in front of Vanessa. “My name is Andrei I am the Beta of the Russian pack. I was on a secret mission for Alpha Vlad, but I am here now to submit myself and the Russian packs to your rule Alpha Vanessa. We will follow the moon-souled-eyed alpha that will lead us out of the darkness.”
Vanessa still seemed too stunned to speak so Colin rolled his eyes and growled, “And why would you submit your whole pack to someone you just met.”
Andrei looked him straight in the eye when he said, “Because she is my mate.”
Colin’s blood went cold and suddenly it all made sense. Vanessa’s reaction and Bolt going mental in his head. He had heard it was possible to have more than one mate, but he had never actually met someone that experienced it. He felt rage starting to boil from within, filling his whole body with the urge to rip this guy’s head off. Fuck no he would not let this happen. He finally won over Vanessa’s heart, with a bit more time he was sure she would have accepted the mate bond. But nooooooo the moon-goddess thought it would be funny to throw in some Viking eye candy to test their bond once again. He felt like his head was about to explode with Bolt going mental in there barking, ‘SHE IS OUR MATE. LET’S RIP HIM TO PIECES.” Besides that, he just kept hearing Andrei his voice in his head repeating the same sentence over and over, “She is my mate.”
He felt his muscles go numb and his vision started to get blurry. He took a step back and tried to remain conscious, but the darkness had no remorse and took him seconds later anyway. The last thing he saw was Vanessa her pale blue eyes fixed on his. Those fucking stunning eyes would be the death of him was the last thing he thought before there was only black.
