Chapter Seventy-Three – Queen Witch.
Alpha Red immediately dispersed men around the borders and around the human territories he had, where Scott Lunas were staying.
“How are we to be sure that this isn’t a trap by the Dark dynasty King? Why will his mother attack us?” Blue Moon Luna asked her husband.
Alpha Red shrugged, still instructing his men on what to do. He didn’t know what they were up against. But that Queen wasn’t a joker.
“Stay behind with the women and children. I’d be back” but his wife held him back.
“Be safe. And don’t listen to that letter. Kill the Queen if she revolts. Maybe her son wants peace but she doesn’t. Kill her”.
Her words lingered in his head but he shook it off, gave a small smile before leaving. If the Queen didn’t want peace then it’s invalid.
He met Margaret running towards Jackson at the border and held unto her to stop her from going further, “Go back, you’d hurt yourself”.
“Wait, I just want to say, I was there. The queen is controlled by the dark energy but she doesn’t want peace either. Be careful” she warned.
He nodded to her and watched her go back to where it was safe before he joined his men, Jackson and Scott at the front border.
“How’d we know the Queen isn’t already inside?” Jackson sighed when the Alpha came close. Red turned back to Margaret.
“It’s possible she’s past our border, the letter came late. Margaret said she was there when she left. So she left a long time ago”.
As if in cue, there was a shout at the Alpha’s house, indicating the Queen had already passed.
“Mate!” Red dashed off.
“She’s inside the pack already. Alert. Don’t hold weapons she can control. Be ready to unleash your wolf” Jackson bellowed to the men.
Reaching the house door, there seemed to be a barrier that pushed Red backwards. Scott ran to catch him. He spat out blood.
“She created a shield? How?” Jackson felt for Red’s pulse. A laughter erupted the air and a dark shadow figure climbed to the house top.
“Hello, young wolfs. Surprised to see me?” the Queen was covered in dark mist. And without it, she seemed to be naked.
“Let my mate go!” Red ordered, his eyes burning red. The men behind him transformed to the wolves ready for an order.
“I’d make this short. Give me the gem, Scott and I’d release your friend’s mate. Or else you’re responsible for her…”.
“Rubbish, he’s giving you nothing. Release her!” Reece then came to the surface. He aimed for the door again but Jackson held him back.
The Queen frowned, “So even your mate can’t make you give up the gem”, she looked downwards, “My dear, you’re useless to him”.
The Luna grunted, snarling at the Queen, she was in her wolf form but her body couldn’t move.
Reece mind linked to his men to radiate their wolf energy. If the Queen was using ancient power, then he’d use ancient wisdom.
The shield around the door began to blur off. It was being casted by the wolf’s energy.
“We have to keep her talking” Reece mind linked to Scott, “Act like you’re negotiating”.
Scott thought hard. Was there anything he could say to pique the Queen’s interest?
“Your highness, you must be well aware that your son has returned his catalyst?” he didn’t know why it came to him.
The Queen flew higher above the house, the dark mist covering more parts of her body.
“You tricked my son. The girl’s still his mate anyway. She’d leave you soon for him. That’s how the mate pull works, isn’t?”.
“Yes, maybe she’d leave. I’d be happy for her to be with him in peace” he didn’t mean it, “Do you see that your son doesn’t want the gem?”..
“And that’s where he’s a fool!” she screeched, her eyes bringing out black fire. The shield has fallen off, enabling Reece to creep inside.
“If you’re his mother and you’re in there, you wouldn’t go against his desires for peace. No matter what controls you” Scott came forward.
The Queen calmed down, though breathing heavily, glaring at him.
What did the little wolf boy know about her? Her son’s desires were important but the extinction of the wolves was more important.
“Werewolves should be extinct”.
“Is that your desire Or the Lycan Wolf in you? Would your son be happy you defiled him? Can you control the gem’s energy? I don’t think so”.
There was a big thud and the men dashed into the house. The Queen screamed, realizing they’ve broken her shield.
She flew from the house, raising her hands. Stones and wooden objects rose along with her.
Pushing her hands forward, they were sent to Scott and Jackson standing at the porch.
“Go help Red, I’d be back” Scott pushed Jackson into the house and dodged the objects. The Queen flew toward the humans territories.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Scott could read her, she was going after Margaret. If Margaret was her son’s catalyst, then her son’s energy can be renewed.
“Stop there witch”.
She screeched back in response.
“My Luna is safe. Walt should come out now. The Queen can cast spells. Only Alpha Wolfs can attack her” Red mind linked to Scott.
“How do you know?” he thought.
“Ancient knowledge. She could make your body freeze. I don’t think she’d live. Aim to kill her” the mind link was disconnected.
Scott smirked. He’d been holding in Walt as the instructions were to bring her alive. Well now it wasn’t. Walt tore it’s way, jumping towards her.
The Queen frowned at the Wolf below her, increasing her flying speed. Why did the dark energy restrain her from turning wolf?
The Lycan wolf in her could have squatted the wolf underneath her, “Scott. I tell you, this is a lost battle” a chair flew towards him.
He dodged it by little and tried to wiggle around the other objects she sent his way, he let out a howl to alert the men surrounding the territory.
“Shut up you wolf”. She lifted him up and slammed him to the ground, dashing off again in fuller speed.
Walt stayed sprawled on the ground. He didn’t know she could control living objects too. Blood streamed from his mouth.
“Who said only an Alpha wolf can stop her?” he sighed, “Reece. Come now” he mind linked.
“But my mate…”..
“She’s safe now. And three of mine are in the human territory. Come now!” Walt closed the mind link and continued towards the territory.
