~~~ Alcyd's POV ~~~

I release an unexpected growl while my mate was in front of me trying to retreat slowly.

​​

She is retreating? Why?

Don't you dare run away Mate! As I declare in my mind while trying to control myself.

In my agitation, my Beta and his mate could hear me for I have unconsciously mind-linked them and has accidentally opened the link in my agitation or maybe while I was in trance thinking about the wonders and effect of meeting my mate for the first time, my Beta attempted to mind-link me and I unconsciously linked with him but was completely at awe of the beauty and presence of my mate.

Then while I try to approach her slowly, she winced in pain and I saw her lose her balance. Gladly, the wolf she is with is swift enough to catch her. I am so thankful for that but looking at where she was holding made me completely astonished.

She is wounded and bleeding !!! Why is she wounded? Who hurt her? Whoever dared to hurt her will pay for this unforgivable act.

Damn it !! What should I do ?? I started breathing uncontrollably and panic starts to sink in. Athena, my beta's mate mind-linked me and tells me that I should be calm and collected.

Athena tells me in the mind-link that we should hurry in taking my mate into safety, give her our assistance, and check on her wounds first.

Before I decided and gave my orders, A sudden threatening presence came into view.

A flying vampire! And he is threatening my mate.

How dare he! Issuing empty threats and challenge me.

This one is certainly a threatening force. He is no easy opponent and should not be underestimated.

There is one thing I am sure of, No matter how powerful a vampire is, You are in big trouble if you face a pack of werewolves on your own.

I mind-linked the others who were on standby apart from my Beta and his mate to hurry due to the arrival of a threat and launch an attack behind the flying vampire.

I turned my attention to the flying vampire and commanded my beta and his mate to surround the flying vampire and attack him from his sides. I will try to attack him directly upfront while my delta and Caleb are now latching at the back of his struggling wings.

He is releasing a deafening scream which is causing disruption to our senses but not strong enough to prevent us from mind-linking.

"Alpha! He is a vampire with gift !" Garrett declares

"Everyone! Let us finish him together and quickly before he gathers more strength!"

I commanded everyone and together we launched a coordinated and deadly attack. We pounced and shred him into pieces with our fangs and claws.

We may not have gifts like other vampires but we are stronger when we attack together. Our strength, speed, and coordination become more lethal.

Especially we are no ordinary werewolves as well. Each individual among my executive officers has a unique specialization in combat and we are notoriously known for our tactical and deadly force as a team.

That is why in the werewolf kingdom we are considered as an elite force despite our young age.

"Curses !!! Arrrrrggghhhhhh !!! NOOOOOO !!" his last bloody cries satisfy my anger as I watch his eyes fall into oblivion.

My Gamma, checks on the vampire before it turns into ashes "Alpha! This is the former henchman of the King of Vampires. According to the profiles I have read before regarding the henchman of the Vampire King, this one fits perfectly with the description, especially he has abilities.

It is known that a former henchman of the Vampire King went to seclusion for unknown reasons and is being hunted for the crimes he did to the other supernaturals. No wonder, this location is festered with vampires! It is because this is his hiding ground.

Good thing! We took him by surprise" He informs us before the corpse disintegrates into ashes.

"Though the question is, what did your mate steal from him and why it is so important for the former henchman to chase the girl with so much desperation even he is wounded and weakened?" My beta Garrett curiously asked us.

I am surprised that my mate is being involved with this powerful being. I need to have a talk with her and discuss this careless behavior of hers.

Speaking of which, the moment I looked behind to where my mate was and noticed she and the werewolf with her are gone.

I let out a loud howl which got the attention of my executive officers.

Jackson informed me that he can still follow and track the scent of my mate especially given that we have her jacket from that younger Rogue brother.

I applaud our best tracker, for his exceptional skill. So I ordered for him and my Delta, the fastest member of the Elite Executive Officers of the Golden Moon Pack, to follow pursuit for my escaping mate.

We started to follow their lead in pursuit of my escaping mate.

How could she be so reckless? How could she be involved with a former henchman? Imagine of all creatures she would steal from, She decided to steal from a former henchman of the VAMPIRE KING!!

Plus, she is working with Rogue brothers who are nothing but a stench of trouble makers, and WHY THE HELL would she run away in that condition of hers? She is wounded !! Damn it!

'Stop rambling and just focus on getting our mate! I am telling you, you better not let our mate get away!'

'I know! You do not need to remind me. Once we get hold of her, I will even chain her with me if I must.'

While we kept our pursuit with my escaping mate, it was like a never-ending chase until our best tracker and my delta stopped their pursuit.

I went ahead to them, trying to see why would they stop their pursuit then there it was I saw my mate laying on the ground unconscious while the werewolf beside her trying to wake her up as if she fell from his back and making her get back so they can continue their escape.

It was too late for it because I will not let them escape this time. I commanded Caleb and Garrett to take down the werewolf standing beside my mate being protective as he notices our presence. So I added to the command to render the werewolf unconscious. While I, Athena, and the others will check on my mate.

As we approach my mate, the battle ensued between Caleb, Garrett against the werewolf who is now in defense mode by the looks of his stance.

"Alpha! We must hurry she is losing more blood and by the looks of it, we might even lose her if this gets worst and left untreated."

By the mention of the possibility of losing her, I went into frenzy and panic mode. I transformed immediately into my human form and went to hold her myself.

I did not care if I am bare-skinned and exposed with no clothes covering me. All that matters to me was my unconscious mate who is badly injured.

I commanded everyone to prepare everything so we can transport her already to the nearest hospital as possible.

I refuse to lose you !! PLEASE !! You better hang on !!
