Chapter 53

The next day, Alpha Czar and his pack spent the day checking and doubling checking the weapon and equipment. As well as catering to the services of the ceremony for Charlie and Karl. Everyone was in high spirits and looked forward to the union of couple. In fact, at one point in time when the musicians and caterers arrived and the entire castle began to get quite busy, everyone seemed to forget about the impending battle. Well everyone except the Czar family that is, as they walked and observed everything that was being done.

Kyle was able to mindlink Bella a few times and describe some of the proceedings that was taking place at the time. Unfortunately,  Bella and her parents were unaware of how mischievous and quick Lizzy's pups could be and had their hands full so they barely spoke for the later half of the day.

Alpha Czar also became quite occupied for several hours after lunch as he had to welcome several guest and the hundred vampires from the Vampire Counsel since Giles could not be found and was not answering through mindlink.

Over the last few days , Czar noticed that he had been acting odd but knew that Giles had many responsibilities to handle for him including catering to his family needs so he brushed it off and stood at the door.

I am sorry Alpha, I was tied up with the caterers at the back and could not leave until the disaster was fixed. But I can now take over the duties of ensuring that all the Alphas and their packs are welcomed! Giles said

I understand Giles, I know I have a demanding family and you have a lot on your plate! Thank you for all you have done for us and continue to do for us my brother. And remind me when all this is done that I should give you a raise and send you on a vacation of your choice! Czar said as he patted his Beta's shoulder.

Anyway since you've arrived, let me leave and get ready for the celebration to begin as the moon is almost upon us. I've welcome a few of our Alphas and their packs already but there are several more on their way as they just called and informed me. Czar continued and walked away.

After an hour, Karl and Charlie came on to the stage with several of the elders and healers. Immediately as they stood on the platform in front of hundreds of werewolves, everyone grew quiet.

We have all gathered today to witnesses the official union of Karl, son of Alpha Czar to his mate, Charlie of the Dark Moon pack. The elder said

Now as we begin the ceremony we ask that Charlie step forwa.... The elder continued and was immediately interrupted when several loud explosions were heard from a distance away.

Alpha, those trip bombs were set by us several feet into the surroundings forest off the Castle premises! James said immediately

Fuckkkk! Giles shouted and everyone looked at him in amazement.

Calm down Giles! Alpha we have less than five minutes before they reach the surroundings of the Castle! Lizzy quickly said

My fellow werewolves it has began. I thought it would not reach to this but today we fight for our survival and freedom to live free. And most importantly, where we will stand up to dictatorship. Let the battle begin! Alpha Czar said , followed by loud cheers that echoed in the distance.

Instantaneously, every werewolf began to get into their position and waited for the Alpha's signal. Karl ran to the towers to overlook the werewolves handling the cannon as Kyle looked after the catapults and Charlie the trebuchet. Lizzy and James quickly removed the bridge leading up to the Castle and they all stood silent waiting for the arrival of the storm in the calmness of the night.

Suddenly, the entire edge of the Castle Rock's field filled with red, shiny bulbs as the werewolves and vampires came into sight. The stood there with their menacing look watching for quite a while, then a loud howling sound came from inside the castle and a chorus of howling began.

Taken by surprise, Lizzy and James rushed inside to see who had howled out but saw no one. And as soon as they returned to their Alpha's side the chorus had stopped and a huge wave of soldiers came running towards the Castle firing their guns.

My love, and so it begins! Kyle mindlinked to Bella who had just put down the pups to sleep.

I love you Kyle, be careful! Bella said and Kyle went silent.

Karl, Kyle and Charlie all waited till the waves of rogue lycanthropes and vampires reached the middle of the field and then they began to fire. Several loud explosions where seen on the field as tens of rogues caught on fire and began running around wildly. Another round of explosion were sent flying from the tower of the castle towards the remaining rogues that continued towards the castle still firing their guns strapped on to their bodies.

Another wave came out of the forest on to the field and caused Kyle, Karl and Charlie to redirect the equipment while some of the rogues reached the moat and was looking for a way to cross. Lizzy and James powered up and began to use flames and water to push back the rogues at the moat. And though they were successful with most of the werewolves the vampires came flying in.

Luckily the Vampire assassins saw this and immediately began attacking them. A few minutes later, several loud explosions were sent again on to the fields that sent some of the rogue soldiers flying into the air. Yet many of the rogues still passed by and arrived at the moat. Charlie called out to Karl and Kyle,

Look after the trebuchet I have to help send back some of the rogues with Lizzy and James! She said and began to cause dark clouds to come over the castle. Incredibly, a massive tornado engulfed her and took her across the moat and she began to consume a huge crowd of rogues within the tornado and sent them scattering all over the field.

Kyle and Karl, being careful not to send explosions too close to Charlie, sent another wave of explosions into the fields. And it was only after the rounds of explosion sent by Kyle and Karl, did they see numerous makeshift ladders drop from the sky by several rogue vampires. This action allowed some of the rogues to get over the moat and begin fighting with Alpha Czar's awaiting army.

What the fuck! How did they know about the moat so quickly Kyle? Karl called out. And before Kyle could answer several bunches of wolfbane came down from the sky directly into the towers, weakening majority of the werewolves including Kyle and Karl.

Fortunately, Charlie was looking at the towers and had seen what had happened with the wolfbane and sent several large gust of wind to them, blowing away some of the wolfbane.

Karl get back on the cannon! Kyle shoutd as he crawled to the catapults and began to fire into the field that was completely filled with rogues heading towards the moat.

Karl and Kyle were able to fire several rounds before another rounds of wolfbane came falling from the sky further weakening the rest of werewolves on the tower.

Kyle we have to get out of here if we want to use our powers to fight! Karl called out and began heading down the ladder leading into the Castle.

Kyle however was able to shift several of the bunches of wolfbane out of the way and dragged some of his pack members to the equipment.

Get up and keep firing into the field! We cannot let the majority reach the castle! Kyle shouted at them and began to head down the ladder into the castle.

Team get those ladders down, we cannot let them break through! Kyle shouted through his mindlink

Just before he met up with Karl and headed outside he heard a loud round of explosion and smiled. But as soon as he reached past the front door he saw blood everywhere and many of his pack members down.

Straight away he transformed into his stone lycanthrope and began pummeling rogues to the ground and ripping their throat out. He turned around to check on his team and saw Karl and James battling several rogues while Lizzy and Charlie's along with the counsel assassins, concentrated on the vampires that carried ladders and wolfbane.

Kyle turned back and ran into a crowd of rogues who were mercilessly ripping apart some of their pack members. Kyle fought like he had never fought and yet more and more rogues attacked. He looked up to see several rogues vampires dumping water from the sky into the burning hot moat and causing places to complete out down.

Lizzy light back the coals in the moat! Kyle shouted and Lizzy turned her attention to the moat.

Karl a new wave is on its way headed to the moat! Come help Lizzy! Charlie shouted as she stopped her tornadoes and brought down a burst of lightening bolts, shocking and killing many rogues but not doing any significant damage to the rogue army.

Charlie changed again but this time into a massive hurricane and passed around the entire field, scattering rogues all over the field.

Several loud rounds of explosion sounded from the towers and when Kyle looked into the field he saw hundreds of more rogues breaking through the forest and heading towards the Castle.

Kyle help father and mother to your right Karl shouted through mindlink as he ripped the throat of a rogue.

Kyle looked up towards the direction that Karl shouted and saw over ten rogues attacking his parents who was battling mercilessly next to each other. Kyle wasted no time and began running into the crowd of rogues and ripping throats out. He hit one of the rogues so hard that his entire head became disfigured and he grabbed up a sword from the ground and completely chopped the rogue's head off. Several vampires then flew down upon Kyle and attacked him. Immediately Kyle powered up and he sent his stone hands through several of their chest, removing their hearts.
