Chapter 151: Life or death.
Beau.
The voice echoes louder and the splitting headache that is Cassius hits
imdiately. I fall to my knees and close my eyes to his face peering at
with an evil smile—the kind of smile that repulses .
’’Beau Foxly,’’ he calls my na again. This ti I see him clearly. I recognise where he is imdiately. The building looks all too familiar. It all looks too familiar. I know where this is.
’’Hello again,’’ he smiles even wider.
I take steady breaths to control myself as I feel Darrien’s hand on . he is trying to pull
up. I open my eyes and Cassius disappears ’’don’t touch ,’’ I scream so loud at him. Lanis runs to us from the sound of my voice.
’’He is here.’’
I hear his voice in my head again ’’Yes I am, co and find ,’’ he tells . His voice is calm, echoing in the woods.
I get up from the ground ’’I need to find him; he is sowhere inside the community. How is this possible?’’ I cry from the shock of everything. Everything was thought out. We had a fucking plan and now he is here.
He found a way to outsmart .
’’Co and find , Beau.’’ He calls my na again. I hate him so much. I hate that he is stuck in my head.
’’You can’t go alone,’’ he shakes his head imdiately.
This is not
being rash. He was supposed to co here with his troops. Everything was settled. This changes everything and I don’t know what to do.
’’what do I do?’’ I ask him. at this point I don’t even know if he is listening. It seems like the way I have been listening in on him, he has been doing the sa.
’’Just calm down. Let’s gather everyone. We need to get the kids away from here.’’ He reminds , I am not even in the right fra of my mind. Cassius just found a way to sidetrack
from the original plan. It is not like I expected everything to go smoothly but I at least thought that this ti we had the upper hand.
’’How do we get them out of here?’’ I ask with so much desperation to get this over with. I have to find Cassius. He obviously wants it to be more. The fact that he is here, ans the rest of his people are too.
This is just too ridiculous.
’’Okay,’’ I know Lanis wants
to take charge. I am the Alpha of this pack and I can’t lose all control right now. ’’We need soone to follow them. The bus is already at the parking lot. All we need is an escort to take them there. There is no ti anymore,’’ this ti, I look at Darrien. I know he will be better off here. He is strong, I have seen him in a fight, and he kicked ass. The way he is looking right now tells
that he only wants to be with Jabi. If I choose to separate Jabi from the rest of them, he will choose to go with the kid.
I need him right now.
’’Jabi can stay with the ogas, there is no ti to separate him.’’
This ti he nods in agreent. As I said, Jabi is not the safest person to be alone with kids, I don’t know how this will work.
’’He will be fine,’’ Alanis assures
reading my mind.
Right now, my focus should not be on the kid. I know that much and maybe I am just deflecting. I don’t even know anymore. Moving on from the Jabi problem ans I have to focus on the Cassius problem.
’’Okay, co on. Get them ready and I will follow you guys to the bus. Lanis gather everyone to the field. There has been a change of plans. Sohow Cassius found his way inside, that ans his people are lurking around. I need to make sure the weak are safe.’’ I order him. I have to switch back to Alpha mode. The truth is, I cannot be weak right now.
He nods and I watch him run with super speed to the opposite direction. I face Darrien again ’’Let’s get them to safety.’’
I lead them to the back of the community. The secret spot I used to escape all the ti. No one knows of that spot except . The community is covered by a big wall. The front entrance has a gate. That it the gate that the guards are on duty, so I know he couldn’t have co in through there.
’’Why are we going this way, the gates are all the way over there,’’ Darrien interjects with a frown. I look at his hands and he is clutching unto Jabi with a tight grip. The rest of the kids and their mothers are all quiet. Rex hasn’t even said a word all through this, which just shows
how my focus has deviated these days. He is in my care and right now, I can’t seem to do anything for him.
’’This is safer for now If there are any vampires hiding in the woods. They wouldn’t be here’’ I assure him. their focus will be the front. I don’t want to take any chances with the kids and ogas that are here. I want them to get to the hideout safely.
The tiny door that I sohow stumbled upon cos to light but it is closed. If Cassius ca in through there would he have closed the door? I don’t even know anymore.
’’Co on.’’ I lead them out the door and thought the woods. They all look terrified. So kids are clutching unto their mothers while others are walking alone. The ones that are trying to act tough, but I know they are all scared. Hell, I am scared too. We have never had to do this before. Sending our people away all because of fear. This is all a bit too much.
The woods are dark and scarier than it usually is. The night sky looming over us, almost like a reminder that what is to co will be dark and lonely. We keep walking until we get to the barricade that leads to the parking lot. I can already see the bus that is supposed to take them.
My heart lunges in my chest as his voice resonates in my head ’’I see you, Beau,’’ he sings, to , it sounds like a fucking nightmare that I will never be able to wake up from.
He can see .
How can he see ?
We get even closer to the gates and all I want to do is get them to safety. If I have to worry about them with Cassius lurking around, I will not be able to focus.
’’Beau, where do you think you are going,’’ he shouts. This ti, the sound is not coming from my head. I stop mid-walk and Darrien and the rest do the sa. My hands are shaking as I fold them into fists.
I can already sense him. he is here and he has found us. Slowly, I turn around and our eyes et. His are red, flashing in the dead of the night. That sa smile is plastered on his face. Almost like he is mocking . Darrien takes a step towards him but I stop him. there is no way I will let any danger co to them all.
That is his plan, he wants to stop us before they can escape. His mission will not be a success if all these kids are alive. They are the future of this pack and I plan to keep them safe.
’’Where do you think you are going Beau. We have to end this,??????’ he takes another step towards
but I don’t falter. I will not show any sign of weakness. He might think that the has won but I am not giving up. This is not over until he is dead.
’’Darrien, take them and make sure they are safe. I will handle Cassius,’’ I tell him in a whisper, even though I know Cassius can hear us. my eyes never leave him. I know this man and he is always prepared. He wouldn’t have co here if he didn’t have a plan. There is always sothing with him.
’’You are not going anywhere. Why do you keep making things difficult? This will be easy if you just give up,’’ he informs
like giving up is even an option. He has no right to tell
what to do. I will fight him and I will win.
’’You think you are doing good but I will let you know how much you have fucked up before I kill him,’’ he is watching
and this is my mont to attack. This is all I can do at the mont to create a diversion. I take one last look at Darrien before I jump up to my transition ’’Now,’’ I shout to him as I get on all fours.
This is the mont.
Life or death.
