Chapter 54
Guests began to scream as gunshots rang through the air. Eros, hearing the shots, turned toward the entrance of the tent. There, he could only distinguish the savages pounce on a group of men, but their advance was halted by the bullets that relentlessly felled them. In the midst of the confusion, Eros looked at Danna in distress, who had a lump in her throat, whispered to her.
“You know you have to go, protect my daughters,” as he gave her a tender kiss on the lips.
Reluctantly, Danna knew she couldn’t stay and fight, even though that was her wish. He had to protect Eos. She felt herself being dragged backwards.
“Danna, we have to leave this place, please, let’s go, I’ve got your back,” Maya said with obvious concern. She knew her friend was suffering from leaving her beloved behind. Wasting no time, Maya pulled out a firearm and pulled Danna back in, urging her to run towards the mansion.
Danna obeyed and walked down a side corridor of the mansion, following the path that would lead her to where her daughter was.
Minutes earlier, a large group of renegades and malicious humans had infiltrated the pack, carrying weapons with silver bullets and swords covered with aconite. Alpha Nink had promised them wolf lands if they managed to eliminate the inhumane wolves, the alpha leader, and the queen. Humans were delighted with the prospect of those lands, especially since they had discovered mines rich in gold, silver, zinc, iron, copper, and other minerals.
The intruders began firing at the herd guards, who fell wounded as they tried to defend themselves. Then, they made their way towards the mansion and opened fire on the inhumane wolves.
Eros, seeing his beloved disappear in the chaos, watched the chaotic scene unfold before his eyes. The wolves would pounce on the humans, tearing them apart, but other humans would fight back, leaving the wolves badly injured. At that moment, he understood that those firearms would cause them more harm than normal ones. Wasting no time, he took his wolf form and joined the fight, as did many others on the spot, while some people lay paralyzed with fear on the ground.
Nick, like an elusive snake, was lost in the crowd. He had no intention of staying in the midst of the chaos; his goal was to find that Omega he had offered.
Meanwhile, Sander grabbed a pistol and began shooting at the wild beasts, reveling in the chaos that was spreading before his eyes. Eros, on the other hand, watched furiously as the traitor slaughtered his own race. At that moment, anger took hold of him. He spotted a sword in the distance next to a dead human, returned to his human form and picked it up. He walked menacingly toward Sander and confronted him with a hate-filled look.
“You’re a coward. If you desire my kingdom, face me with honour and kill me, as you should, in hand-to-hand combat.
Sander laughed sinisterly and, in a hostile voice, replied:
“I don’t think you’re in a position to demand anything. He turned his gun and pointed it at Eros’ head. I just have to pull the trigger and you’ll be dead.
Eros kept his defiance steadfast, facing Sander boldly.
“As an alpha, I challenge another alpha to fight with swords. Or are you so afraid that you cringe? I thought you had reached the alpha position in your pack by your strength, but it looks like you’re just a chicken wolf.
Eros’ provocation infuriated Sander. He put away his firearm and drew his sword, adopting a fighting stance as he screamed.
“I’m going to prove to you that I’m a superior alpha to you.
The men began to fight deftly, nimbly moving back and forth to dodge the blows of the swords, as the tension in the air increased with each movement.
Gina, Eurides, and Eos were speeding down the corridor, when suddenly, two figures emerged from the gloom, each holding a firearm in his hand.
“Whoa, whoa, look who we have here,” shouted Fabrizio with a wicked smile. Little princess, you didn’t keep your promise to come and play with me. I’ve always been waiting for you.
Eos, seeing the old man with the gun, began to sob in fear. With a trembling voice, he stammered.
“I couldn’t go play with you, sir, because I had to obey my daddy and my mommy,” she continued, crying. Now you scare me.
“You don’t have to be afraid of me. Remember that I just want to be your friend. Come with me, I’ll take you to a place where we can play.
Eurides, shielding the girl behind his back, cried out indignantly.
“You’re a filthy pig and a traitor. You will take my granddaughter over my dead body,” then he turned his hateful gaze to Helena. I should have kicked you out of the mansion from the first day you arrived with Lamia. You knew how to disguise yourself as a sheep. Gin and Lamia got their comeuppance. The two of you will soon keep them company in hell.
“The lady has the guts to insult us, she seems to want her granddaughter to see her die. Well, I’m going to oblige. You won’t see me die, but your granddaughter will see you.” Helen raised the gun, pointing it at Eurides’ head just as he was about to pull the trigger, she heard a furious voice.
“Leave this old woman and the girl in my hands, what are you waiting for to take Nick’s little present?” You’d better move, he’s waiting for you,” shouted Fabricio.
Helena coldly threw a tantrum. She wanted to have the privilege of killing that she-wolf. He took a few steps toward Gina, who was paralyzed with fear, breaking out in a cold sweat and frozen with terror. He opened the link with his mate and could only ask for help.
“Walk Cinderella, what did you think?” What were you going to save from your fate? He laughed mockingly and continued in a scathing voice. A sweet future awaits you; you will be the bait of a pervert. Don’t worry, when this is all over, I’ll comfort Ares and I promise I’ll take good care of him.” He pointed the gun at Gina’s head. I won’t repeat it twice. Either you walk alongside me or Eos dies, and I won’t hesitate to do so. It’s up to you.
Gina was so scared she could barely move. His legs felt like jelly, but he followed Helena for the princess’s sake.
At the mansion, Vilkas Perseus was in his room, breaking out in a cold sweat. His inner wolf howled in despair, longing to break free. Perseus fought with all his might to maintain control, not understanding what was happening.
At that moment, the door opened and Galilee appeared, visibly worried because Perseus had called her and informed that she was unwell.
“What’s the matter with you, Perseus?” Don’t frighten me,” he watched as the young man writhed in bed.
“Galilee, I need your help as a witch. I don’t know how you’re going to do it, but please find out what’s happening to me. My wolf wants to get out, he’s furious, he won’t leave me alone and he fights to take control away from me. I’m doing what I can to hold on, but I don’t know how much longer I’ll hold on. Help me understand what’s going on.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Perseus, I stopped practicing magic a long time ago, but I know someone in the forest who could help us” Galilee, despite her fear of leaving the pack, knew that she could not waste time, she felt that Perseus’ life depended on her, driven by fear, quickly, she left the room without looking back and hurried to find the person in the forest who might have the answers they needed.
Perseus, in the midst of his internal struggle, muttered under his breath.
“Why are you doing this to me, Zeus?” I am your reason. You must calm down; you can’t take control of my body.
Zeus continued to howl and flutter desperately in his ecosystem. His only concern was to protect his mate, and he would do whatever it took to make sure he was safe, as he always had.
As Fabrizio kept his gun pointed at Eurides, he whispered menacingly.
“Little princess, come with me or I’ll shoot your grandmother.”
The terrified girl poked her head out from behind her grandmother, her hands trembling and desperate tears rolling down her cheeks. Finally, he came out of his hiding place and said in a trembling voice.
“Okay, I’ll go with you, but don’t hurt my grandmother.”
But at that moment, a firm and disturbing voice echoed in the hallway.
“My daughter isn’t going anywhere with you.
