Chapter 37
RYN
One minute Alpha Eric was coming for me with his scalpel raised, the next his body was flying five feet in the air away from me. I stayed frozen with fear, my heart hammering wild as Prince Theon gently drew me behind him but I was able to peek just in time to see Alpha Eric's body hit the ground with a sickening c***ck. Chelsea, the Russian and Jack rushed to their Alpha just as Prince Theon turned to me, cupping my face with his large. hands.
"Are you okay?" He asked, then he took note of the blood on my forehead and his eyes darkened. "You're hurt. Tell me. Who did that to you!" I had never heard such lethal venom drip from his voice before and it literally made me afraid for Chelsea. I turned my face to look her way and found her glaring at us with a sneer on her face. I turned back to Theon. "It doesn't matter." I shook head. "Tell me, Ryn
I looked into his eyes and whispered Chelsea's name and Theon closed his eyes like he was in pain but he nodded in understanding before signalling to one of his men to take me to safety.
"No." I refused, beginning to get myself again. "I want to stay."
Things might get ugly, Ryn, and I can't guarantee your protection."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

My eyes fell on the gun tucked on his waist, and I pulled it out and removed the safety while gripping it hard. "I can protect myself." I said, and a ghost of a smile appeared on his face like he was proud of me. "Good." He said, pulling out extra bullets packed in magazines from his pocket and putting them in mine. "No matter what.. don't stay too far away from me. Understood?" Commander." my girl"
My heart stuttered at his words. My girl? Why did that make me feel giddy and fuzzy on the inside? I shook my head and focused ahead of me. Now, Alpha Eric had been taken to the other side and the group had been in discussion but now, they turned to us with Alpha Eric standing in their midst like a zombie.
"You guys have gotten what you wanted. Prince Theon said. "There's no need for bloodshed tonight. Let's all go our separate ways, nice and easy"
"Fine
Alpha Eric sneered. "But
this i is far from over. I'll come for you very soon."
"I count on it Prince Theon replied.
Alpha Eric snarled at the Prince before he turned to leave. "Let's go boys.
"Wait, that's it?" The Russian asked, turning to Alpha Eric. "You're just going to let him walk? After everything?"
Alpha Eric turned to face his Beta, his eyes hardening. "Are you questioning me, Viktor? I'm your Alpha. When I say 'let's go, then we f****ng go! Understood?"
As Alpha Eric turned to leave again, Viktor and the other nian shared a meaningful glance and in a flash, Viktor was behind him. He gripped his Alpha's hair, drawing his head back and in atlash, Viktor ripped Alpha Eric's throat out. I gasped as a cold shiver ran down my spine. Alpha Eric stiffened before turning around to look into the face of his betrayer. His face was 58%

riddled with shock as he fell to his knees, holding his throat and gurgling blood. "Why?" He managed to ask.
"It's nothing personal, my friend. Viktor frowned, and stepped away from his Alpha as he tried to touch him. "They said you've become weak since you let Prince Theon catch and torture you. So therefore, you're no longer fit to lead the Greyhound Pack" Alpha Eric scampered to his friend, Jack, and held his feet. "My son," He wheezed.
"He will be taken care of, Eric, as long as he stays in line." Jack replied grimly
Alpha Eric continued to fight for air and struggled like that for about a minute more before he fell face first onto the ground and remained still. I glanced at Theon who looked at everything indifferently. Viktor who was Alpha Eric's Beta turned to us and now had the red eye glow of an Alpha. Immediately, all his men went on one knee and bowed to him.
Chelsea, on the other hand, beamed at him like a proud mother as he stepped forward facing us. "Now, where were we?" He said, his voice a bit more deeper.
"We are at the part where you seriously need to get the f****k out of my face." Theon said, and I could detect the disgust in his
tone.
"Nah."Viktor replied, unbuttoning his shirt one by one. "We must fight this battle and the moment he said that, his men began unbuttoning their shirts too,
Theon sighed and began to remove his cuffs. "There's a reason why Alpha Eric chose not to test me." He said as he also began to unbutton his shirt, "but since you're new and your newfound power is still getting to your head, I'll make understand you
"Understand what?!" Viktor growled as his eyes glowed ember red.
Prince Theon removed his shirt, and by the gods, my heart s***ed a beat when I saw the forest, moon, sword and wolf tattoo designed beautifully on his broad back. "You'll understand that you may start battles, but 1, Theon Windermere, I ***g ware wars."
At that. Viktor transformed into a large grey wolf and howled to the sky. His men transformed too and howled as well and my blood ran cold when we heard similar howls all around us, "We're surrounded." I whispered.
Chelsea smiled devilishly at Theon, as she reloaded her gun. "Did you think we'd come without backup, babe?" "Elites!" Theon called and the men behind me stood at attention. "Yes sir!"
Sir!
"Transform" Immediately, everyone transformed into wolves almost twice as big as the Greyhound pack.
Theon looked my way and I could no longer see his blue eyes, instead I saw nothing but black depths. "Don't stay too far." He said in a voice that was not his own. Then I saw his hands grow into giant claws and his face transform to accommodate the longest fangs I had ever seen in my life but he didn't transform all the way through "Yes sir." I swallowed and so the war began.
Just as expected, Chelsea came for me, shooting fast but I was able to hide behind a rusty old car while shooting back as well. When she went out of rounds. I got out from my hiding spot and pointed my gun at her head. "Game over, b*****h!"

a flash, Chelsea swept me off my feet with the swipe of a leg and I landed hard on my back, losing my gun. Pain lanced
through my body but adrenaline filled me once again, when I say Chelsea reaching for my gun. I moved my leg, kicking her in the face and went for the gun instead but she grabbed my leg and pulled me across the sandy grount. Chapter 37

In the process, some sand entered my eyes, destabilizing me but I felt Chelsea climbing over me to get to the gun. I moved my elbow and hit her in the face twice and when I tried to crawl in the gun, but she pulled my hair to stop me. I to summon my wolf but I still felt blank so instead of resisting her pull. I let go, and the back of my head must have hit her face because she yelped. Temporarily letting me go, I went for the gun but at the last moment, someone kicked it far away and it got lost in the sea of of battle. Sighing in disappointment, I turned to find Chelsea laughing. She rose to her feet, touched her lips and found that she was bleeding. She looked at me and shook her head. "Gods! I hate you so much."
I curled my hands into fists and got into a boxing pose. "The feeling is mutual, b***h!"
Chelsea turned her neck left and right, cracking them before curling her own hands into fists as well. Her eyes glowed yellow, showing her wolf and I tried my best to hide my fear. I have never fought anyone without my super strength or speed and today is the day I put everything I have learnt to the test.
