BELLA

I really preferred to collapse as the perfectly carved creature was walking beside me.

"Our plan one is done," he muttered as he lifted his arm to keep his hair away from falling on his eyes. The way his muscles bulged made me to almost trip on a small stone. He turned his head to look at me causing me to quickly look away from him. "Was my mate checking me out?"

I was almost able to hear the smugness in his voice.

"She wasn't," I whispered.

"Awe." He stopped in front of me and pinched my cheeks. "This hot man--" he pointed at himself. "--is all yours." Blood rushed my face as I pushed his shoulders lightly and tried to walk past him. "Careful, sweetheart. There might be small insects ready to bite you."

"Stop talking like that!" I whisper yelled.

"Stop talking like what?" He asked as he caught up with me.

I groaned and continued walking.

"Like that, you know like a flirty guy?"

He laughed lightly and muttered, "I can be any type of guy for you." He held my hand in his causing sparks to erupt in my body. "Hmm, I just love this sparks that travel in my body whenever I touch you. These sparks ensure that you're safe and together with me."

I felt warmth course through me as his words hit my ears. I glanced around myself and noticed a pair of spiders making web together.

Me and Xanthos walked in comfortable silence. 

Abruptly, the smell of blood hit my nose. My eyes widened at what I saw in front of me.

"X-Xanthos..." I breathed out his name.

The path that we were walking was leading us to a vast opening where different creatures were either tied in a machine which looked like it was prepared to cut each and every creatures limb by limb. I was sure there were at least more than a fifty creatures present there. Another few were either getting chased by a few men who were wearing armour like clothes and were holding silver rods.

Small huts like structure were burning. I watched as a tiny wolf came running out of its shelter with fire liting it's back.

I heard whispers and grumbles of people clearly, though I was far away from the village.

"When would t-this agony end--Ahh!"

"Be careful, Alpha. Your shoulder hasn't healed after the punishment that our king's Beta gave you." I heard a female voice whispering.

I took slow steps forward whilst pulling Xanthos along with me.

I turned my head to look at him only to notice his eye colour was no longer the same shiny brown which was filled with softness and playfulness but instead, it was dark red with pure anger swirling in his orbs. They moved and watched the two guards who were standing behind the trees with predatory eyes.

His hands felt warm under my tight grip. I knew he was feeling angry but I needed to get him his control back and not let his beasts to take over.

"Xanthos?" I shook his hand but he never diverted his eyes off of the two gigantic guards. "Xanthos?"

His body began to tremble with anger and his back bent forward before huge black wings ripped out of it.

"Vlaxin, please don't do anything stupid." I stood in front of him as he prepared himself to attack those two guards.

He glared at me but instantly softened when his eyes roamed to the mark I was having at the crook of my neck.

"Love," he growled deeply. "Move."

I shook my head. "No..." I trailed off.

"Don't block. Allow me, love." I shook my head slowly. "Why?" He growled softly.

"You would take even the innocent lives along with those monsters."

"No. I have learnt from all the mistakes I have done in my past. I'll not do those again."

I looked at his eyes and searched if he was sincere or not. A smile formed on my face as his red iris was filled with honesty.

I stepped aside and nodded my head. "Don't hurt any innocent creature or else I would kill you myself." I glared at him.

He nodded his head and kissed my cheek, "gotta gain support, love."

With that, he ran towards the two guards. I curiously followed him.

Before they could realize what was happening, Vlaxin separated their heads from their bodies. Blood splashed around the lifeless guards before they fell limply on the ground.

With inhuman speed, he moved around the opening, killing each and every guard behind the tree.

"Who's that?" I heard the same female voice that comforted an Alpha before.

"I just hope he or she is our saviour." I heard a male voice reply back.

"Who in the Inferis is killing our pals?" A man with an armour asked a fellow guy beside him.

"I don't know, we need to inform this to our king."

No, Draco shouldn't get to know about this. I thought with a frown.

I slowly crept towards the edge of the opening and walked towards those massacring machines that were kept just a few metres from my left. Though, I felt scared I tried to boost my confidence up.

I took a small branch from down and stepped towards those two guards. Covering my scent along with the dirt, I daringly stepped behind him. I almost pierced the small branch through the guard who told he would inform to the king.

I felt a hand clutch my wrist tightly as soon as I almost pierced the tiny stick through him. I gazed up at the owner of that hand and gasped when it was the other man who was standing beside him.

I tried wriggling out of his grip but I couldn't. "Leave me!"

"She looks new to this place and look at her clothing. It totally belongs to the one similar to the humans." The man smirked.

"A human." The guy who I tried to kill smirked back.

He took the small stick away from my hands and laughed bitterly. "Trying to kill me with a tiny branch? Haha, you humans are mundane."

He fisted my hair in his hand before pulling my head back. I stood no chance against his strength thought my senses have heightened. I looked back at Xanthos who was moving around like a fast tornado. Opposite to where I was standing, I noticed all the young children, women and other few injured wolves were standing and whispering things to each other.

"You fucker!" Vlaxin yelled as a creature which looked like a half shifted werewolf tried to cut his wings. He snapped the half-shifted werewolf and threw him to his other side.

Vlaxin snapped his head towards me and within a second, he was standing in front of me. The guy who was holding my hair extended his fangs and brought his face close to my neck.

"Hmm, her blood smells amazing."

Vlaxin growled and tried to move forward to get me but I shook my head stopping him. I know what this guy was planning. He was planning to inject his fangs as soon as Vlaxin gets him and pushes me away.

All of a sudden a long arrow hit the guy perfectly at the centre of his forehead.

He let go of me and fell to the ground. Me and Vlaxin glanced at each other before snapping our head towards the person who shot the arrow.

I gasped as I saw the person I least expected holding the bow.
