Chapter 59
Orion sped into the vast forest, chasing the seductive scent of his mate. When he finally spotted the black pickup truck through the trees, he transformed into his human form. Ares, his dark eyes twinkling with rage, strode purposefully toward where Nick stood beside Gina, watching him touch her, anger burning in his veins as his hands clenched into clenched fists.
Helen, seeing the arrival of Ares and the energy emanating from his countenance, understood at once that the situation had completely spiraled out of control. Quietly, feeling that it was best for his own safety, he cautiously stepped back and stepped into the density of the forest, fading into the thicket like a shadow in the night.
Nick turned sharply at the sound of a voice echoing in the room, and his face twitched with rage as he met Ares.
“Whoa, whoa, who do we have here?” The Queen’s Gamma,” Nick snapped, his tone hostile.
A defiant laugh echoed in the air. Ares, in a harsh, determined voice, answered.
“You haven’t understood yet, have you?” I’m an Alpha, just like you. But I don’t need a pack to prove my rank. I prefer combat, the countryside and freedom. Where I come from, we are all equal and it is with our actions that we show who we are as people.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Alphas were born to rule, not to serve others,” Nick declared firmly, defending his beliefs of traditional Alpha hierarchy.
Ares, undeterred, defied him boldly.
“Show me you’re a real Alpha.” I can’t wait to fight you.
However, the tension in the air became palpable as Gina, her voice trembling and full of insecurity, screamed.
“No, Ares. This Alpha is dangerous. He was the one who killed my dad.
At that moment, Nick sensed the shared gaze between Gina and Eros, and immediately understood that these two wolves were mates. A surge of fury swept over him, and in an instant, he released his inner wolf followed by a ferocious growl. It resonated in his mind. “I’m not going to let this Omega take it away from me this time.”
Ares automatically relinquished control to Orion, who emitted a defiant growl that echoed through the tension-laden air. The brown wolf lunged at Orion with surprising speed. Their bodies engaged in violent and frenzied combat, where bites and sharp claws became deadly weapons.
Orion, driven by fiery rage, showed no mercy and sank his fangs into the brown wolf’s neck, tearing off skin and flesh in a brutal display of ferocity. In the blink of an eye, Nick reverted to his human form, and Ares emerged with his body drenched in his opponent’s blood.
Meanwhile, Nick was on the ground, his body writhing in pain, struggling to breathe as blood pooled in his throat, threatening to drown him in his own blood.
“This fight was easier than I thought. Ares, after uttering those words, walked over to Gina and carefully freed her from her bonds. Then he took her in his arms tenderly as he whispered to her in a soft, small voice.
“My love, it’s all over. Don’t cry, he’s never going to touch you again.
Gina, still trembling and blushing, confessed in a choked voice.
“The one that… I was deeply afraid; I thought my worst nightmares were coming true. Her blush intensified as she continued. Also, I feel like my body is like an erupting volcano. I need the medicine to calm my jealousy.
Ares, bringing his nose to Gina’s neck with an irresistible sensuality palpable in his gaze, whispered to her in a voice full of desire close to her ear.
“I know how to quell that jealousy that’s driving me crazy,” he murmured, bringing his forehead closer to hers and creating an intense connection between their gazes. “Trust me,” he added with desire in the midst of that bloody scene that surrounded them, kissing her passionately. Their tongues danced with an unbridled appetite, a fire that seemed to burn uncontrollably among them.
Eventually, they had to separate due to shortness of breath. Gina felt a delicious tingle inside her. All her alarms vanished, and her mouth longed for more of that passionate, intoxicating kiss.
Ares let out a spicy grin as he walked forward with his omega in his arms.
“Come on, my little she-wolf. I know of a place where we can be without anyone interrupting us,” he whispered knowingly.
Gina clutched her hands around Ares’ neck and effortfully leaned over him, wrapping her legs around his waist and hiding her face in his neck.
Ares couldn’t help but burst out laughing at the seductive image of his little she-wolf coiled around his body like a koala. He walked over to the truck and opened it, noticing that he had the key in the steering wheel. Without undoing the embrace, he settled into the car, leaned back, and joked.
“Hold on, don’t let go, because I’m going to drive with you.” He gently placed it on top of him and started the car before driving away.
Deep in the forest, Helena ran exhausted, her tired feet begging her to stop. She walked over to a tree and rested her trembling hands on its rough trunk to catch her breath. His breathing was ragged, his legs trembled, and his feet ached from running. Suddenly, a familiar voice made him wince.
“Hello Helena, you were waiting for me.
Helena was alarmed and sat up immediately. He knew that his fate was sealed and that there would be no escape. The only thing left for him to do was to beg for his life. Helena took a few slow steps toward Maya and threw herself at her feet, her head down, trembling with fear as she babbled.
“Please don’t kill me. I beg you,” he pleaded with anguish in his eyes. Nick had me threatened. If I didn’t help him, he would have killed me. He added, pointing tremblingly to the bruise on his face. Look, it hit me. When I saw the opportunity, I escaped from their clutches.
Maya looked at her skeptically, frowning at Helena’s words.
Duncan, with his keen eyes, chimed in with a hard look on his face.
“Why don’t I believe you?” He said in a suspicious tone. He knew Helena well and her ability to manipulate werewolves. We should take it with us and let Danna and Eros decide what to do with it.
Maya brought her right hand to her hair, Helena grabbed it tightly and almost dragging it, whispered firmly to her.
“Walk, you’re coming with us.”
Helena, groaning in pain from the tugging on her hair, begged in anguish.
“Please, Maya, don’t hurt me anymore, I’m not going to run away, let me walk normally.”
Maya didn’t answer and continued to move forward in silence. When they reached a clearing in the woods, they were met with a terrifying scene. Nick lay dead, his eyes open and surrounded by a pool of blood.
Duncan, visibly surprised, exclaimed as he surveyed the place for Ares and Gina.
“What happened here?”
Maya, undeterred, replied coldly.
“My brother came first and killed him. We’d better get out of here and turn this traitor in.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Helena, unable to hold back her tears, realized that her freedom, for which she had longed for years, had been short-lived. Now, he had no idea what his fate would be at the hands of kings and deeply feared the consequences he would face for his actions.
