Chapter 137 - Reece-Dealing With Trouble (VOLU 2)
~~
Reece
~~
My wolf had snarled in my ear at the man's taunting words. Neither of us would take his attitude lying down. He would pay for touching her.
As soon as I prepared to fight the condescending vampire blinked into the shadows again, coming into view once more right in front of Shawn and Trinity." Shawn leapt back, trying to avoid the man as he protected his Luna. He managed to keep my Little Bunny from getting hurt but he took the blow across his upper left arm. Three long, thin lines opened up in his flesh spilling blood down to his elbow and wrist. The blood was starting to soak into the white fur of Trinity's wolf.
"Ugh, the sll of wolf blood is so repulsive." The vampire said in disgust.
"You son of a bitch." I snarled at him, rage overflowing for his continued attack on my mate and her guards. "I will kill you for what you've done."
"Ha, I'd love to see you try. You are insignificant compared to you mongrel of a mutt."
"Prepare to eat those words, bloodsucker." I could feel the rage intensifying within . It was spreading, burning from the inside out. Shane and Vincent had already rushed over to where Shawn and my Little Bunny were. Vincent took hold of my Little Bunny while Shane checked his brother.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Shawn growled while eyeing the vampire with rage.
"You two provide backup for the Alpha, I'm getting her out of here." Vincent commanded the other two.
"I'm fine, let help." What was she thinking? Telling them that she wanted to help with the fight was she stupid.
"NO!" I roared as loud as I could without?taking my eyes off of the cliche of a vampire. "Get her out of her, NOW!" I commanded them.
"Vincent, put down right now." She countered my command. For so reason he followed her order over mine.
"Vincent, take her away." I commanded.
"NO!" She yelled right back at . "I am not leaving, do you hear , ignore him Vincent." She ordered the man in front of her.
"Alpha, I don't know why but I need to follow her commands over yours."
"Damn it, Vincent, do as I say." I growled fiercely putting all the weight of my authority into the command, still he ignored .
"I can't." He looked shocked. I yelled, a aningless roar of frustration. I wanted her out of here and sowhere safe dammit.
"You should be paying attention to ." I heard the vampire taunt just as he blinked out of sight and reappeared near Trinity again, Vincent quickly and deftly avoided the attack, protecting my mate.
"If you touch her again I swear by the Goddess I will kill you." I heard the blood sucker laugh derisively at my statent.
"I'd like to see you try." It really annoyed , his high and mighty voice speaking as if he was better than all of us. It was even annoying that he spoke perfect English despite his thick accent, everything about him bothered .
"I hope you're ready Count Gothula." I insulted him as I shifted back into my wolf form
I saw him once again blink out of sight. Knowing that he was about to go after my Little Bunny again, that he was going to try to attack my mate, that he was trying to hurt MY Trinity, I felt the heat of anger explode inside of .
Everything seed to slow down, almost like ti was standing still or close to it. I could see everything with perfect clarity. The heat inside of my body was growing by the second. It was so hot that I felt like I was going to lt at any mont.
Suddenly, there was a strange sensation running through , as if my entire body had been numb and I could feel the tingling pinpricks of feeling coming back to as my body finally started circulating blood again. The feeling kept growing and growing. It moved from the pinpricks to a stabbing and shooting pain filling my whole body. But still, I did not take my eyes off the vampire or my Little Bunny, not for a second.
I could see he was making his way closer to her through the shadows. Moving just a few feet at a ti in each quick blinking of his existence. Just as the pain and heat inside reached the level of being unbearable, the pain stopped, and the heat subsided. But then, for so reason, the entire yard seed to start glowing, as if there was a bright light shining from sowhere behind .
The light flickered, like it was a fla. I could only guess that one of the guards had lit a fire to drive away the shadows, taking away the vampire's ability to shadow walk. The idea was genius and would probably work. With no shadows near him, the bloodsucker would have no way to blink toward my mate or away from .
I felt a big toothy, wolfish grin spread across my face as I thought about how I was going to kill the man in front of . He must have sensed my bloodlust, my rage, because he stood there for just a second like he was frozen in place with fear filling his eyes. He took a small step away from , backing toward the cover of the trees and more shadows. I wasn't going to let him get away that easily.
I leapt, quick as I could, and slamd into the goth poser. He landed onto the ground with so much force that his rancid breath hit full in the face as it rushed out of him. I growled low and long into his face, letting him hear the frustration and anger he had caused to well up inside of . I wanted him to know this was his fault, all his fault. He was going to die now and it was entirely his own fault.
"Get off of you abomination." His thickly accented voice wavered as he tried to sound confident and sure of himself. "Ger aus of mir." His perfectly crafted English was slipping, letting German mix with it. 'Get off of ' the mixed words said. "Weggehen wolf! Weggehen." He scread the words in German. 'Get off wolf! Get off' I had no problem understanding what he was saying.
Before I could respond the vampire started screaming and I could sll ashes. His screaming was loud and unceasing.
'I told you I would kill you.' I snarled at him but it ca out in the barking growl of a wolf. I said not another word before I opened my jaw and bit down right across his throat. His blood burst into my mouth, thick and disgusting. He tasted of dirt, ash, and mold. It was appalling.
I stepped away from him, keeping my anger under a semblance of control, and noticed the vampire had caught fire at so point.
'When did that happen?' I barked, asking the others.
"Reece, do you not know what's happened to you?" I heard my Little Bunny ask .
'What are you talking about?' I asked her as I turned around to look at the four of them. They were all looking at with shocked, disbelieving looks. 'What?' I asked again.
"Alpha, you're covered in flas." Shawn spoke in a slow, deliberate voice.
"You're completely engulfed." Shane added.
I looked down at my wolf's body to see it covered in flas. I must have caught fire when the vampire had. Why didn't they say sothing? Why didn't they attempt to put the flas out?
I yelped, panic beginning to fill . I was so filled with rage and then panic that I didn't even feel the heat of the flas as they surged all over . I looked around , panic stricken, for a way to save myself. I noticed a pile of snow at the edge of the forest, a bank big enough that I could dive into head first and douse myself.
I ran, full speed, toward the snow. I jumped in with all four feet, rolling myself in the snow to quell the flas. But no matter how much I tried to put the flas out, they continued to burn, lting the snow around . I started to panic once more.
"Reece!" I could hear a sweet voice calling to , breaking through the panic I was feeling. "Reece!" It called again. I knew the voice but panic was winning out for the mont. "Reece!" It yelled my na, finally pulling my attention enough to make look toward the source. I could see Trinity, my Little Bunny in her wolf form, standing there, looking at .
"Trinity!" I said her na with a note of desperation.
"Reece, you're not on fire, you are the fire." She told calmly, an excited look on her face.
"What?!" Her words made no sense to .
"It's like with my ice, you are made of fire." I stopped thrashing around in the snow, letting myself calm down just a little.
"How?" I wanted to know this if nothing else. "I don't have magic like you?" I told her.
"But you have a mark she gave you." Vincent reminded .
"You think this is caused by my mark?" I cald down just a little more.
"I don't know." My mate said, staring at proudly. "But you are the fire to my ice. My protector and partner." She looked so beautiful as she smiled at with pride filling her heart.
