Belle narrowed her eyes at the man slowly strolling around them. Colton's arm protectively in front of her. Kacia is knelt down on the ground behind her positioned in front of her the man who is still out do to the dart. Tara is holding Jake's large head in her lap. His wolf still out cold from the multiple tranquilizers that were shot at him. Nessa standing in front of the pair with her eyes blood red. Her body thrumming with the urge to kill. 

Colton's eyes survey the surroundings. More men appear to be coming from the tree line into the clearing where they stood. His wolf gnawing at him to come out. He turns his head slightly to look at Belle. Her stance strong, her head held high. 

"Tara, get Jake out of here. Come back for Kacia and-"

"No" 

Belle snaps her head down to her sister. Her eyes pure amber now. Belle looks to the man before addressing her sister. "He is yours to protect now. We will be okay."

Kacia's eyes flickering as she has an inner debate. She gives a small head nod before a bright light illuminates. Belle turns her attention back to the man in front of her. He walks closer looking directly where Tara once was with Jake. His eyes glistening with rage as his mouth turns into a sneer. 

"Knew I should have just killed her. She was the odd one of the group..." His eyes drifting to each of the remain three. "Actually you all are abnormal. An abomination to your kind."

Belle steps forward even with Colton trying to stop her. Her eyes focused solely on the so called Alpha. "Don't worry Alpha... You won't have to worry about that soon enough."

"I couldn't agree more."

His teeth bare and he begins transforming. Belle can feel the wind shift and know Tara has returned. A moment later the wind shifts and she knows Kacia and the man are safe. Now that leaves Colton, Nessa and herself.

A loud growl makes her see the alpha's true form. His dark coat a contrast to the forrest surrounding it. His size reminds Belle of a bear. He is a great deal larger than some of the werewolves she has seen previous. Colton is slightly smaller than this man. 

Another loud growl makes her turn to see that Colton has transformed as well. Both Alphas take off charging full force at each other. Teeth snapping, claws scratching at any and everywhere on each other. Colton gets a lock on his fur but is not close enough to his neck. He bites down hard making the Alpha snarl in pain before jerking to try releasing Colton's grip. It goes in vein. 

A hand to Belle's arm pulls her attention as Nessa places her back to Belle's. Her eyes finally noticing the others that have not transformed yet. "Nessa, don't-"

"Love you Belles"

Just like that the vampire dashes away. Her body running at speeds not able to be seen by the naked eye. Belle watches as some of the wolves are thrown into the air. It was like a domino effect as Nessa whipped through them with no remorse. 

ROAR

Belle looked to the heavens to find the source. A dark shadow quickly flying over. She screams out as her body rages with power. Her head flying to the skies before she feels her body heat rise astronomically. Her arms completely engulfed with flames. She begins flinging her arms as she throws fire at all spectators. The men transforming realizing the depth of the situation. Belle breathes out the remaining of the fire before lifting her arms. Her body rising into the air to survey below. 

The two Alphas are still fighting each other but Belle can tell Colton is loosing ground. Alpha Talson lands on top of him pinning Colton to the ground. Belle inhales sharply before yanking her arm before making a throwing motion. A large boulder comes flying at Talson. His body sandwiched between a tree and the rock. He pushes at it before standing back up. Belle makes her way down to Colton. 

"Nessa Help!" In an instances Nessa is beside Belle. "Take him"

Colton snarls out at her command. He does not want to leave his mate to the army. Nessa gets ready to retort but Belle gives her a pleading look. Nessa grinds her teeth as a werewolf comes to her left. She turns biting down hard as the wolf withers in her hold. She jerks her head ripping out his fur covered throat. She turns back to Belle with blood running down her chin and neck. Belle looks unaffected. 

"You can't-"

"I need him safe!" Belle says quickly before throwing her arms behind her effectively making a wind that knocks everyone back. "Please Ness!"

The vampire turns to the wolf that looks ready to kill her if she is to follow the command. "I will knock you out Colton if you try snapping at me."

Colton doesn't listen. He snaps his teeth at her and she quickly punches him with all her force making him go limp. Nessa picks him up and turns to Belle who is giving her an 'are you kidding me' look. Nessa turns and in a flash disappears. A loud yell from the Alpha makes Belle turn back. He has transformed back to get himself loose from the boulder. He walks to her with blood running down one of his arms. His chest having a deep crimson mark. Belle can only presume from Colton's teeth. 

"All alone at last"

"You should know something Alpha" The man stops looking to her with narrowed eyes. Belle can feel her body heat climbing again. "A pack always has a head."

"You are no Luna to me!" Talson sneers out at her. 

The smirk that appears on Belle's lips makes him halt again. By this point, the few wolves that are still alive halt as well. Belle begins chuckling darkly as the fire drips from her fingertips like molten lava. Talson looks to her hands before looking back to her eyes. 

"Whom ever said I was speaking of me?"

The wind shifts and all of sudden the line of trees to her left erupt into flames. All the wolves howling out in pain as the try to flee from the on slaughter of fire. The other wolves looking around as well. Loud thundering steps resonate through the trees as a large form comes behind Belle. A shadow easily encasing the small clearing she was standing in. Alpha Talson's eyes go wide looking behind her. 

"Meet our head..." 

A loud erupts before another blaze takes the other side of Belle. The remaining wolves already escaping the scorching fire leaving only the Alpha behind. Belle turns to the magnificent creature behind her. 

"He's mine"

The large dark winged creature examines her breathing deeply in it's chest. It's large snout breathing out hot breath as she slowly bows her head. Her scales shimmering in the remaining light as her horns look sharp enough to stab anyone. She keeps her eyes locked on the man. He know is cowering like a pup instead of the leader he was mere minutes ago. Alpha Talson couldn't comprehend it. He heard the roars and saw the silhouette in the heavens. He never believed it could be possible. A dragon to exist. Let alone be claimed by this witch?!

"You attempted to harm my Alpha and his wife, you attempted to harm my sisters... You attempted to harm my mate." Belle allowed the fires to run up her arms, her body begging her to release the energy. She felt her eyes shift to their own golden hue. "You... will die."

He yells before shifting back into his wolf. He dashes towards her not caring for the beast that laid behind her. Belle throws her arms forward as the fire shoots out like a flame thrower. A direct hit to the wolf. He falls to the ground in front of her feet. The fire diminishes as she clenches her palms shut. She quickly makes a motion with her hands and the earth begins pinning the wolves paws to the ground. He snarls and attempts to move. Belle throws her arms forward as water from god knows where comes flying full force at him. The flames on his coat disappearing leaving him drenched and still trying to release himself from the ground. 

Belle walks a step closer as the wolf continues thrashing. Belle begins focusing on the air. She can feel it's movements around her. She closes her eyes and can see it clearly. She raises her hand palm up towards the wolf. His movements now minimized as his lungs begin to constrict. He feels paralyzed as the air is sucked out of his body. He can't breathe and can feel the darkness consuming him. 

"Belle don't!"

She halts her death sentences as she listens to the voice. Her eyes still ablaze but she finds the wolf has collapsed to the ground. Turning her head, she finds Thaddeus coming to her. His eyes momentarily looking behind her where her mother still remains in all her beastly glory. He turns back to her. Belle can still feel the need to kill the man that harmed so many. 

"He is due in Hell"

"I agree..." She snaps her eyes to the wolf that is still out cold before looking to Thaddeus. "Let his kind due the damage. You do not want that blood on your hands."

Belle looked behind him and sure enough, there stood Alpha Tate along with the Elders. All of them looking at the scene in front of him. Belle can't think clearly. A loud roar makes her turn back to her mother. Her eyes locked with hers. Belle continues focusing on her as she tries to regulate her breathing. 

Desmond couldn't get over what all he has witnessed. He knew his son was going to flee. He never expected that it would all come down to Jezabelle. He had no idea where his son or the others were at. Standing alone was the witch that held unmeasurable power. Behind Belle stood a mythological creature. Only told in stories. The beast however seemed to be connected to his son's mate. 

One of the Elders walks down to where Belle is still breathing heavily. The dragon, Thaddeus and Belle turn to the man. He looks directly at Belle before looking back at the wolf of Alpha Talson. His eyes coming back to Belle. 

"You are future Luna of the Southern Crescent Pack. Your word will be law once you become the Alpha female... until then, it is up to Alpha Tate."

Desmond slowly descends to them along with the remaining Elders. He looks at Belle whose eyes are like that of a she wolf. He can feel her power radiating off of her. His eyes turning to the shell of a man he once knew. This was not the Alpha he once worked with. He was always pompous but he never raged wars and was alright with kidnapping. 

"What will be of his pack?"

"The few that are remaining..." He looks to the dragon whose eyes are narrowed on him before continuing. "Will be relocated until another pack can be formed with an Alpha. He was succeeded by two children... a Raven Talson and a Leo Danford."

"Raven is dead." All heads snap to Belle. "I killed her."

The Elder nods his head in thought. "Unless Leo once to take the place of Alpha Talson. The Northern Crescent pack will be disbanned."

Desmond looks to the man before looking directly at Belle. His answer is clear seeing the look on her face. "He is sentenced to death due to his crimes against my pack."

Belle sighs in relief as Thaddeus comes to stand beside her. His hand coming up to clamp her shoulder. 

"BELLE!"

All turn as Colton runs through the trees. He is quick to gather her in his arms. She inhales deeply allowing her body to finally calm some what. He goes to her neck as well as her scent brings relief to him. After a moment he releases her only enough to look at her.

"How did you-" Belle begins to ask well aware of his state when she had Nessa take him. 

"Tara"

She smiles softly as the clearing of a throat makes them turn. Both realizing they are still surround by everyone. Colton looks to the Elders. 

"She was only protecting herself. She is not-"

"We know future Alpha." One of the Elders speak up stepping forward. Colton's arms securely wrapped around his mate. The woman looks at the affection before looking at the pair's eyes. 

"We will be excited to see what the future holds for the pair of you."

The dragon begins to stand before flapping it's wings. The large dark winged beast looking at Belle and then to Thaddeus. Belle smiles gently as the wing creature disappears. Everyone watching as Colton leans down to her ear. 

"And I thought you were the most powerful one."
