The Battle

A vampire with magnificent black wings stood fearlessly on top of a skyscraper. His red eyes glowed. Although the sun makes his body weak, he does not tremble in the slightest as he stalks the prey he must kill.

To prevent Elyna from knowing what happened, Georgio deliberately waited until Val was separated from her daughter before he decided to attack. After a few days, Val finally left Elyna at her pack headquarters. The Alpha came out with Zen, and Georgio thought it was a good opportunity to attack the man.

Georgio spread his wings and then descended from the tall building without the slightest hesitation. His wings fully expanded at a certain height. Georgio's red eyes looked brighter. At one point, when he was close to Val, he stretched out his hand to use his power.

His magic was blood control, the same as Elyna, although Georgio was a pure form of that great power.

"Val!"

BANG!

Val's pack had strict rules, one of which was never to transform when they were mixing with humans. Zen could do nothing when Georgio suddenly appeared out of nowhere and attacked Val, while Val was agile enough to avoid Georgio's sudden attack.

Even so, being exposed to just a little bit of Georgio's power was enough to make Val spit out a mouthful of blood. His brow furrowed. Even though Tritan had warned him about Georgio, Val didn't expect the man to come that quickly.

They were in the middle of the city, where the explosion and blood immediately attracted the attention of the people. Fortunately, Val had just gotten out of the car when Georgio attacked. In order to avoid unnecessary attention, Val immediately got back into the car followed by Zen.

"Start the car!"

"Okay!"

The car immediately sped off while Georgio chased behind them. Maybe because the vampire race could hide in their own dimension, Georgio was not afraid when he showed his true form among humans. The chase on the road continued. Val ordered the other werewolves to lead their car to a road that was not passed by anyone.

"Fuck. Is he crazy?!"

When Zen saw that Georgio was trying to catch up to their speeding car, he could not help but curse. The vampire race was known to be strong. Although they were never willing to keep up with the times like other races, they remained at the top of the food chain as the strongest.

"Zen, focus. I have something to talk to you about."

Unlike Zen or his driver, who were panicking because of their chase, Val remained calm as he adjusted his sitting position.

"This will be my fight with him. Once we get to a quiet place, I want you to go back to the base."

"No. What about you?"

"I'll be fine."

Zen almost cursed when he heard Val's answer. His brother couldn't possibly be fine when he had to fight an angry vampire king. Although Val was the strongest among them, no one could be sure that Val would win when he was faced with a magic user like Georgio.

"Alpha!"

"Get back. This isn't your fight."

Zen stared in disbelief as Val suddenly opened the car door while the car was speeding. The man immediately transformed into a large black wolf as their car sped through a road that cut through the forest that was rarely passed by people.

"Zen, what should we do now?"

Zen bit his lip. An alpha's orders were absolute. Since Val had asked him to retreat, he had to retreat along with the others.

"Turn around! We have to go back to tell the others!"

***

"Are you okay, Luna?"

Elsewhere, Elyna, who was resting in her room, suddenly woke up when she felt something was wrong with her mate. Her blue eyes aching, that was a sign that Val was the one in danger.

"Val..."

When her eyes felt even more painful, she immediately rushed out of her room. The werewolves who passed Elyna tried to stop her as she ran as if she was possessed by something.

"Wait, Luna! Someone, please stop her!"

People immediately panicked when the sound of bones breaking was heard from Elyna. In front of them, half a wing emerged from Elyna's back. Blood began to flow out of Elyna's ears and nose. But in that situation, she didn't wince at all, as if the one who was injured wasn't her.

"Luna!"

CRASH!

When Siren and the other core members of the pack finally arrived, it was too late. Elyna crashed through the glass window of their headquarters, then ran away to find her mate, who was in danger.

***

"Can you stop following me?!"

Eir growled in annoyance because Hakan wouldn't stop following her since she decided to avoid their house for a while after Elyna returned as a half-vampire, and Val took it for granted. Eir just wanted some alone time to calm her mind, but Hakan wouldn't let her do that.

"Go away! I'm fine even if I'm alone!"

Hakan didn't budge when Eir tried to push him away. Eir was tall but still inferior to Hakan, who was almost 2 meters tall. Eir's push meant nothing to Hakan, and that made Eir even more annoyed.

"Hakan!"

"I won't bother you. I just want to make sure you're safe."

When Eir was about to hit his chest, Hakan held her hand because he was afraid she would get hurt if she hit his hard body. Hakan held Eir's hand carefully. Then, as soon as Hakan had the chance, he immediately kissed both of Eir's hands that he was holding to calm her anger.

"Please."

Even though Eir was rude, she was still weak when Hakan asked for her permission sincerely. Eir's face turned red when she felt Hakan's lips touch her hand. Bonds really couldn't lie. Even though -on the surface- Eir always rejected Hakan's treatment of her, she was happier than anyone when Hakan paid attention to her.

"T-then, buy a hat and a mask to cover your face! I'm sick of seeing you bare your face in front of everyone!"

"Okay."

Hakan smiled faintly, gently stroking Eir's hair before he went to buy a hat and mask according to Eir's wishes. Eir waited outside the shop while looking at the streets. But at one point, her attention fell on a moving object in the sky.

Ah, no. That was no ordinary object. That was Elyna. With Eir's werewolf eyes, she could see that Elyna, who was bleeding from her mouth, eyes, and ears, was forcing herself to fly with only one wing.

"Hakan, Luna-"

Eir was afraid that Elyna would quickly disappear if she called Hakan, who was still in the shop. She finally decided to go alone. Eir ran quickly until she finally changed into her wolf form.
