Battle
KaiserBelonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
I felt confident after I heard Adeline. Yes, she sounded different, but in a good way. Although our enemies before us were more than we could handle, I had a feeling that we would be able to get through this.
“Adelle, this is your last chance. Come with me, and I will let everyone around you return to your pack and that bastard’s world unscratched.”
“You’re delusional; there’s no way I will come with you. You will have to kill me first before that happens. But I warned you, you won’t be able to do that either because I am here, ready to end your craziness.” Adeline replied.
They started to charge after my mate finished her words. “Stay with me, baby,” I told her, but I didn’t hear any reply from her. I found her looking at our enemies in front of us and shouting direct orders to her warriors.
“Don’t waver. If you see someone you know among them, kill them without mercy. They are no longer the same person you used to know. Did you get me!”
“Yes, Luna!” The warriors replied, and the battle started.
Milka didn’t leave Adeline’s side but still managed to fight back. She’s good at combat fighting, too. At the same time, I saw her mouth open, but I couldn’t hear anything she said. I guess she was doing the witch thing.
I focused on the rogues that came my way, and I felt relieved that there was a lot, but I could tell they weren’t trained either. A rogue lunged at me, which I dodged easily, making him face the ground and eat dust. But he was persistent because he got up, snarling at me. “What? You hate eating dust?” I asked, provoking him.
He growled and jumped at me, and yes, he’s huge, but even in my human form, I can defeat him. He’s feral and cannot think. I admire Elijah for making them follow him.
Most of the rogues that went feral were no longer thinking. All they wanted to do was to kill, and they could not follow or listen to anyone. Elijah is really powerful to make that happen.
As we continued fighting, I looked at my mate occasionally, which the rogue took advantage of and lunged at me with deadly intent. I barely had time to react, instinct kicking in as I dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding his snapping jaw. The air filled with the sharp tang of blood as its teeth grazed my arm, leaving a trail of searing pain. “Kaiser!!” Adeline shouted.
“I’m sorry, baby. Don’t worry about me.” I shouted back. I couldn’t let her worry about me. Gritting my teeth, I swung my fist, aiming for the rogue’s exposed flank. But the bastard is quick, darting away as he dodges. We circled each other, and with a snarl, the rogue launched another assault, his claws slashing through the air.
I ducked and focused on my survival as I fought to keep the beast at bay. But he was relentless. Being feral, he was driven by primal instinct and thirst for blood.
Feeling desperate, I feinted and dodged in the search for an opening in the rogue’s defense until an opportunity struck. With a swift motion, while gathering my strength to focus on my fist, that landed on his side, making him elicit a pained yelp of anguish before I jumped at his back and broke his neck, leaving him dead on the ground.
I looked around and searched for Adeline, and thank goddess; I found her fighting two rogues. How dare they! I ran to her side and fought the other one she was fighting. I am not going to let her fight like that. She’s too precious for me to get tired that way.
“I can handle them.” She shouted,
“Of course you can! But I didn’t want you to waste your energy on them.” She shook her head and continued fighting. Milka, on the other hand, was doing okay, and I’m sure that Adeline was looking after her the way I did to her.
As the battle intensified, I don’t think we managed to lessen the number of rogues we were fighting. It was as if no matter how many times we killed, they only kept growing in number. They kept on emerging from the shadows. I looked at the other warriors who were with Adeline, and I noticed their energy and strength started to wear off. This is not good. I don’t think we will be able to finish them if we continue to weaken.
The battle took a long time, and our strength was depleted. Soon, the sun will rise, and I don’t think we will be able to see it if these bastards continue to grow in number.
“Can you see it now, Adeline?” Elijah said, focusing our attention on him. He was just standing there, didn’t make any move, and yet we were already tired. He was a cheating bastard. We should have come for him from the beginning.
“Relax, Kaiser. Don’t get hyped.” Adeline replied. I admire her optimism; where the hell did she get that?
“I don’t see myself dying in a place like this, so relax,” Milka said. So what now? She can see the future as well? Is that what they were holding on to, and is that why they’re confident about this battle?
“You two are friends.” I just said, shaking my head in disbelief. “Well, if you say it that way, then let’s go and end that bastard already.”
“That’s the plan,” Adeline replied, but I had already seen her panting. “We have not shifted to our wolf yet, Kais.” she reminded me.
“Yes, I know that. I will store enough energy when I face that bastard Elijah.” Adeline looked at me, smiling before she faced the man behind this battle.
“You will never win this, Elijah. You are nothing but a weak human who wanted power, so you sold yourself to the devil. But I am here to stop you and put an end to your miserable life.” She shouted, making Elijah laugh.
“I’m ready, Adeline,” Milka said, making me look at her. Ready for what?
“Let’s go, Kaiser!” My mate commanded before she shifted and ran to Elijah, who looked confused. Without thinking, I shifted and followed her lead. She wanted us to fight the bastard, so we would do that. I never did this, but I put my trust in her and Milka, who said she was ready. I think it was a sign that my mate was waiting.
I saw the rogues start to run our way as well, but Adeline dodged anyone that came her way, so that’s what I did. When I turned to look behind me, I saw the warriors fighting them before a portal materialized, and pack wolves surged through, their growls reverberating through the air. They leaped into the fray, teeth bared and claws flashing. So we have a backup.
The tide turned with our warriors as the newcomer wolves tore through the rogue’s rank. Their strength and speed were overwhelming.
‘Kylo, no mercy!’ I told my wolf.
‘That goes without saying. You don’t know how much I want for this day to come. Elda and I have been waiting for this day. To finally avenge Oliver and Adelle.’ he replied.
Adeline, who looks fierce, jumped at Elijah. Did she just do a frontal attack? Fuck! She looks gorgeous. ‘Stop it, Kaiser!’ Kylo said angrily. ‘Focus!’
‘I know!’ I exclaimed. Can’t I admire my mate even in this situation? ‘Let’s just kill the bastard.’
Just after I caught my mate Elijah just throwing, I smelled them.
“Yes, Kaiser. They’re here.” Adeline said before she went down from my arms. Ahead, behind our enemies, was the scent of my pack members and a few alpha’s in my world who were members of the werewolf council.
‘Alpha!’ Misch’s mind linked me.
‘What?’
‘Nothing, I just checked whether our mind link will work here as well,’ he replied, making me roll my eyes internally.
‘Just fucking fight!’ I commanded, and he laughed. Then I made a very long howl. I mean, Kylo. He was commanding everyone to fight with all their might and be victorious.
Freed from the rogues, Adeline and I turned our focus on Elijah, who looked pissed. He must not have seen this coming. I don’t know if Adeline planned this, but I’m sure Milka has something to do with this. She gave my mate so much confidence after she said she was ready.
Elijah sneered, his lip curled with disdain as he assessed us. “Fools,” he spat. His voice venomous hiss. “You will never defeat me,” he added.
Adeline growled, and so did I. Our primal instinct surged to the forefront as we prepared to face off against Elijah. With a snarl, I launched forward, trying to snap at his jaw. But he was quick, sidestepping the attack with the utmost supernatural speed. He countered with a swift kick, sending me sprawling to the ground with a pained yelp.
My mate leaped to my defense as her fang bared. Then she circled Elijah; her movements were swift and graceful as she sought an opening in his defenses. But Elijah was a formidable opponent, and his movements were as deadly as they were precise.
With a sudden burst of speed, he lunged at Adeline, his fist a blur of motions as he gave her continuous blows. My mate fought back, her claw slacking through the air as she sought to drive him back. But the bastard seemed unaffected by her attacks, his immortal ability granting him resilience.
I regained my footing and joined the fight again as my growls blended with Adeline’s snarl and launched a coordinated assault. Together, we fought Elijah with our combined strength and agility, proving to be a formidable challenge even for one as powerful as he.
But he was not to be underestimated. He unleashed a devastating blast of energy, sending Adeline and me to the ground with a pained whimper. We were stunned for a moment, our breathing coming into a ragged grasp as we struggled to stand up and fight.
Just as we regained our footing, Elijah was in front of us, attacking us continuously with the force of a battering ram. We fought back with all the strength we could muster, but it was clear that Elijah was so powerful for the two of us. He’s immortal, while Adeline and I begin to falter under his relentless assault.
Then, out of nowhere, we heard a voice calling Elijah, who looked in the direction it came from. “Adelle…” he said, making my eyes widen. Did I hear him right?
