Battle of Friends pt2

(Few Hours Earlier)

Alpha Maynard watched on as his army split off, heading to different directions and being led by their Alpha or Alphas. He knew sending just one Alpha to lead the pack wasn't enough. Two Alphas against a Black Lotus member was better, it almost guaranteed victory, which is why he made that his plan. As soon as the they were all gone to face off their enemy, He turned and went back into his tent.

He walked in to see Damien standing there. He walked past him to his resting area. He brought out an injection from his bag and turned to Damien with a crooked smile. "I have a task for you. One different from the others"

He walked closer to him and showed him the injection with a yellow liquid substance inside. "This is a concentrated dose of what I was giving the Alpha over the years. Just a drop of it dose a lot of damage. Giving the Alpha a drop once in a while made him sick and weak. But injecting this much into a wolf at once will certainly bring death to the wolf. I have prepared this for you to give to Kreed" He paused and smiled when Damien nodded.

Alpha Maynard had made different contingency plans to make sure he caused as much pain as he could to his enemies. Plans to make sure they don't have a chance to win the war. "Your mission is to find Kreed and inject him with this. Giving him this dosage will guarantee his death. So no matter what, find him....anyone standing in your way, cut them down. Don't get distracted with other battles and focus on your mission" He ordered.

Damien nodded and took the injection from him and tucked it into his jacket pocket, keeping it safe. He tied his hair into a messy bun, picked up the two stakes he had made and sharpened and then walked out of the tent to go carry out his orders. Alpha Maynard smiled, staring at his retreating back. "Happiness isn't going to be an outcome of this war" He said to himself.

(Present Time)

Kieran and Damien dashed toward each other, as they got close they simultaneously leapt of the floor and hit their arms against each other mid air before flying back. Kieran looked over at Tessa and saw her fighting with Vee. He brought his attention back to his brother turned opponent. "Damien...if you can hear me, you have to fight this and snap yourself out. Take back control of your body" He said to him but Damien said nothing but kept staring at him.

"I don't mind taking you down if that is the way to make you see and take control of your body..." He paused when Damien dashed toward him again, not wanting to hear all he was saying. "Very well then..." He took a fighting stance, preparing for Damien's attack. Getting to where he was, Damien threw a jab at him which Kieran easily warded off with his hand and immediately followed with a blow to Damien's throat.

Damien staggered backward, holding his neck. He coughed, but not letting it slow him down, he attacked Kieran again and they both began tracing blows after blows ferociously with speed that almost made their trade off a blur to the eyes. They countered each other, their blows not having effect against the other but was being warded off. Damien immediately jumped up in hopes of kneeing Kieran on his chin but Kieran stopped his knee mid air with both his hands. Expecting that, Damien swiftly held both his hands on his knees and nodded him hard before hitting the ground again.

Kieran stumbled backward from the impact. He grabbed his mask and took it off. He knew holding back was dangerous against Damien but he had no choice. He was aiming to incapacitate him but Damien was aiming to kill him, hence going all out. Kieran closed the distance between them and dropped down trying to clear him off the floor but Damien jumped up dodging. Kieran immediately jumped up also and kicked him hard on his chest, sending him backward.

Without giving him breathing space, he lunged at him. Damien immediately threw a forceful blow at him but Kieran dodged it gracefully, warding it off. The force of it sent Damien staggering forward. Kieran took the opening, grabbed his other hand and swiftly hurled him, throwing him against a tree, the impact shaking the tree and causing leaves to fall like a confetti.

He rushed towards Damien again and hit him against the tree just as Damien stood up. He began relentlessly punching from his upper body down to his stomach. The punches were hard, causing Damien to cough out blood from the internal injury he was dealt.

Having had enough, Damien caught one of his punches, slid his grip to Kieran's arm, swiftly brought out his claws dug into his arms and pulled it down, tearing the sleeve of his robe and his skin. Kieran grunted from the pain. Taking the opening, Damien caught his second hand and pulled him to himself using both his hands. He nodded him again and swiftly followed with a kick to his side and then ended it with hurling him, turning and slamming Kieran against the tree.

Trying to stand up immediately, Kieran caught sight of Damiens foot heading toward him. He swiftly fell flat on the floor, dodging the kick and then rolled, following with him clearing Damien's other leg off the floor. Not being balanced Damien fell hard on his side to the ground. Kieran tried to kick him against the ground also but Damien swifty rolled away, and then acrobatically leapt off the ground to his foot, standing few paces from Kieran.

Kieran stood up, grabbed the sleeve of his robe which Damien had torn and ripped it off fully, exposing his bleeding arm. He looked up at Damien and saw the blank expression he had. He didn't seem like he was going to snap out of what was done to him.

He lunged toward Kieran with claws out, he swung both hands at him, trying to claw him but Kieran leaned back, dodging it and used the opportunity to punch both his hands while he was still leaning back. Damien immediately retracted his hands, feeling them weakend for a moment. Acrobatically, Kieran made a flip, throwing a kick mid air that landed on Damien's neck, sending him to his knees.

On landing on the ground, with his back to Damien, he immediately kicked him with his back still turned to him. The kick hit Damien's shoulder, sending him sprawling on the ground. Kieran stood up to his feet, staring at Damien standing up too. He was about to go after him again when Tessa came out of nowhere attacking Damien.

Damien tactfully avoided her attacks, creating a very obvious opening for him. He caught one of Tessa's legs, raised her up and slammed her against the ground but he didn't let go, he raised her up to her feet again and landed a strong punch to her face and followed immediately with a kick to her rib and then threw her to Kieran who caught her and gently placed her down. "Don't interfere anymore. Let me end this" He instructed and then turned to Damien with a pissed off look.

He was holding back because of his plan but him attacking Tessa ferociously had made him snap. He could take anything but he wouldn't take anyone hurting his mate. He decided to go all out with Damien and his eyes began glowing red. He lunged toward Damien, claws out and planning to use his ability. He knew of Damien's ability but his own ability was a counter to his.

Immediately he got to where Damien was, he felt his ability being blocked, but he immediately switched it around instead, blocking Damien's ability. Not thinking much about it, Damien carried on with his attack, trying to claw him but to his surprise also, immediately his claws got closer to him, they retracted along with his fangs. Kieran took the opening, he grabbed and pulled Damien to him and followed up with his claws, clawing his chest with both hands rapidly, drawing blood out of him.

Damien tried to jumped back to avoid his attack but Kieran zoomed past him with uncanny speed, appeared behind him and gave him a strong roundhouse kick, sending him flying and landing on the hard earth. As soon as Damien stood up again, Kieran shone his glowing red eyes at him and Damien saw him disappear.

He was taken aback by this. Wolves don't disappear. Trying to figure out where he was, Kieran appeared behind him and landed a bone crushing blow to his spine, forcing Damien to his knees. He turned swiftly but he had disappeared again. Kieran immediately appeared right in front of him and kneed his jaw, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Damien spat out blood, feeling weakend by the attacks he had been receiving. He slowly forced himself up and met another surprise when he saw himself in a sparring room and not in the woods. He looked around confusedly. He caught on and immediately turned just as Kieran appeared and he swiftly caught Kieran's punch. Kieran instantly punched his hand with so much force it broke his bone.

Damien immediately let go, feeling the pain from his broken arm. He brought out his claws from his other hand and threw it at him but like before his claws retracted again. Kieran immediately followed with a kick to his rib. Before the impact could send Damien stagging backward, Kieran speedily closed the distance between them and pulled him into a punch that connected with his chest, cracking another bone.

Damien growled out in pain. Without getting used to the pain, Kieran held him tighter and hurled him out of the sparring arena only for Damien to be slammed against a tree. He dropped to the ground, coughing and bleeding. He looked up and saw he was in the forest once more.

Kieran appeared before him, grabbed his neck, pulled him up and hit him hard against the tree and then raised him with his neck and slammed him forcefully against the ground. Damien wheezed for air. He tried to throw a punch but Kieran caught his hand easily and twisted it, dislocating it from his wrist. Damien growled, laying there weakend.

Kieran stood up and immediately marched his stomach hard, causing him to spit out more blood. Seeing him battered and weakend, Kieran felt it was enough damage already. "Are you ready for us to help you now?" He asked but no reply from him as usual.

He extended his hand to Damien, hoping he would accept it and to his surprise he did. As Kieran pulled him up to his feet, he immediately reached into his jacket pocket, held Kieran's hand tighter, pulled out the injection and swiftly stabbed it into his hand, emptying the content into him. Kieran immediately knocked off the empty injection and kicked Damien away from him.

Damien stumbled backward and hit Tessa who was behind him. Tessa grabbed him and immediately sank her fangs into his exposed neckline. He growled out loudly as his blood poured out. He dropped to his knees, his head tilted down. Panting, he slowly looked up at Kieran as his eyes stopped glowing and returned to his color. "Kr....Kreed" He called with a parched voice.

Kieran's eyes widened with shock. He glanced at Tessa who had the same confused expression. "Damien! Is that you?" He walked closer to him, staring at him intently.

"It is me" He nodded. "What the hell happened?" He asked looking around. Kieran knelt down in front of him and immediately pulled him into a hug. "I can't believe we got you back" He stated with a thankful smile just before he felt his inside start to burn as the poison began taking effect.
