Helanie:
The look on Rayden’s face said it all. He was bleeding from his nose from Lamar’s attack. He stumbled before getting back on his feet, but this ti, I was already close by and gave him a closed fist punch. He landed again, grunting under his breath.
This ti, he didn’t even get up but started chuckling. He had his head down and eyes on the ground as if he was deep in thought. Once he was done, he lifted his head to look Lamar straight in the eye.
"So that bitch was your sister? Ah! I should’ve guessed it, but how could I have? I didn’t see her face properly, but I sure did see and explore every inch of her—"
Lamar growled and hit him with his knee, knocking him back.
I was revolted with disgust—this man was a total scumbag.
"So you couldn’t do it yourself, so you brought in your bodyguard?" Rayden spat out blood, hissing, and before we knew it, he was back on his feet again.
"But you two assholes forgot I am an Alpha."
With that, he let his claws grow, spread his arms, and clawed us both to the ground at once.
His force and strength were honestly too much for us. I grimaced as his claws struck hard in the stomach, leaving a trail of blood down my body.
I turned to crawl away while he got on top of Lamar and started clawing at him. My eyes widened, and I quickly rolled over, getting up and onto Rayden’s back to pull him off Lamar.
"Ahhhh!" I scread, wrapping my arms around his neck and throwing my body back. I held onto my bicep tightly while my elbow pressed under his chin. My legs wrapped around his body to keep him still.
However, he quickly ripped my arms apart, broke out of my hold, pushed down, and got on top of . The weight of his body pinned in place while he wrapped his fingers around my neck.
"I should have made sure we did it right the first ti," he muttered through heavy breaths, squeezing my neck too hard.
I started running out of breath when Lamar got up and punched him from behind. However, Rayden didn’t let go.
He was so enraged that he kept taking hit after hit but wouldn’t release . Just when I thought I was going to pass out, sothing flipped inside , and I started staring deep into his eyes. As we locked in an intense stare, I began to hum. The sound ca from deep within .
Within seconds, Rayden’s grip loosened around my neck.
I didn’t know what I was humming or why I was humming, but it worked. Rayden stepped back and fell to the ground.
He covered his ears, closed his eyes, and his nose started bleeding.
"No! No, no!" he scread while I got up on my feet again.
"What the heck happened?" Lamar yelled from the side, making turn my head to look at him. He was on the ground, on his knees, with his nose bleeding and his eyes bloodshot red.
I got concerned and snapped out of whatever evil had grasped onto . The next thing I did was kick Rayden in the chest and throw him back.
"Ughh!" he let out a cry, but I got on top of him and punched him repeatedly.
"You fucking asshole—you’re a piece of shit," I hissed, not stopping. He attempted to get off, but my power overtook him.
It was as if I couldn’t hear anything around —just water bubbling and waves. My legs felt a little numb, but I kept going at him until I felt soone’s arms wrap around my stomach.
Lamar pulled off Rayden, keeping steady and in check.
"We don’t want him to die," Lamar yelled, and I started to stop fighting. My body went limp in Lamar’s grasp. My knees felt weak and shaky, as if they could give out at any mont.
"Ughh!" Rayden twisted and turned on the ground, crying hysterically. "How could you—be more powerful than ?"
He was crying like a child, his entire face a ss.
"Listen, you pimp," I struggled free from Lamar’s grasp and made my way to Rayden, crouching down to have a word with him. "Now go ahead and tell the council and my pack that I’m alive. I am prepared. I don’t care if I can take down your friends or not—your defeat will be enough for now."
His face showed just how scared he was of .
I watched him gulp and try to crawl away from . "All I need is your DNA to match with the DNA found on Lamar’s sister. And with the help of Norman, Emt, or Rudy, I’m sure I’ll be able to do it easily." I put too much faith in the people in my life.
I knew the brothers were upset with , but I could tell they would take such a huge accusation seriously.
Besides, confidence is key. The way I spoke to Rayden made him believe I wasn’t afraid to go public with my information.
"You have the hair," he muttered, like he had doubted when we spoke on the phone.
"Aha! Do your part, and I’ll do mine," I hissed, spitting at him.
He remained on the ground, crying into his hands, while Lamar and I got to our feet.
We were ready to be summoned by the council now. The DNA on Lamar’s sister could help us a lot in throwing Rayden and his friend behind bars, and who knows—I might even find out that his friend was one of the assailants in my case as well.
Lamar and I returned to our room in silence. It was late, and we knew that the next day, we would be bombarded with questions by our friends whom we had ditched today.
Lucy was already sleeping, so we both went to bed as well. The silence between us was a sign that we had been through a lot the whole ti.
We were so shocked by what happened in the woods today that we couldn’t muster the courage to recall it and have a talk about it.
I fell asleep peacefully after rembering the crying face of Rayden. The fact that I had overpowered an Alpha made wonder what my wolf actually was.
I woke up late to the sound of heavy knocking in our dorm room.
Getting out of bed, I noticed Lucy had already left, as her shoes were gone, while Lamar was in the bathroom.
"What is it—" I opened the door and instantly went silent upon seeing so warriors in uniform.
"Miss Helanie! You are under arrest!"
