Chapter 108
LLOYD’S POV (EARTH ELEMENTAL)
“I tried convincing them, but they wouldn’t adhere to my proposal. Reed, the Fire Elemental kept going on and on about some bridge to cross and Kol, the Air Elemental doesn’t even want to get in involved in the battle. It’s crazy, they are all crazy!” I explain to my Alpha and Mr. Callan and the both the Beta and Gamma and they all just stare at me quietly.
“Well, you don’t expect them to just agree right now. Instead, it will be fishy if they just accept without being so skeptical. So, as their leader, it is your duty to keep pressing until they accept and I trust you can do that. You just need to give it more time and put in a little more effort. You’ve got this!” He encouraged and I silently nod my head and I can assure that right in there’s like then thousand different strategies swimming haphazardly in my mind and all I need to do is organize them and start putting them to action one by one until one finally does the trick.
I have to unite them, I just have to do so!
“Thank you Alpha”
“Fir now, we need to plan our next attack on the Wall Street Pack, we have given them a moment of peace. It was about time we caused some trouble”
“Alpha Ralph” I call as I rise up from my chair.
“Yes Lloyd”
“As we all know, the Moon goddess dishes out information and revelations about this battle bit by bit. So last night I had a dream about a bracelet that when worn on an Elemental, prevents him or her from using his powers until it is taken off. I found that bracelet in my father’s study and when I tried it on, it worked, I couldn’t use my powers. And the most interesting thing about the bracelet is that once worn, it can only be taken off by the Air Elemental. I think that is a great weapon we can us against Alpha Hardin, if we can get close enough to any of them and put this on their wrist, then that will be good”
“If you try to get close to Alpha Hardin, you will be dead and forgotten before you make the first attempt. In essence, what I’m saying is that Alpha Hardin is off this plan. The person we are targeting is Luna Reign. No one goes close to Alpha Hardin, is that clear?”
“Yes Alpha”
“Good. And this remains just between us. Other Alphas can’t know we have such a item” He declares and we both just nod our heads in agreement.
I feel very positive about this battle!
KOL’S POV (AIR ELEMENTAL)
If rejection was a person, that person would be me. I have been rejected since the day I was conceived in my mother’s womb by father and he sent her away for reasons I have never known.
When I turned eight, my mother died and I was left to fend for myself as a rogue and since then, I have always been on the move. Moving in the woods, searching for what I can eat and if caught trespassing in another pack, I will be locked up an tortured and that has been my life for that last fifteen years.
Right now I’m used to it and I have learned to not get caught when I’m trespassing in a pack, like now that I am trespassing in the Wall Street Wolf Pack. I once had an encounter with their former Alpha, Alpha Dimitri Colton and he spared my life. I was fifteen by then and he caught me stealing food from their farm. He had me at his mercy, and was just a snap away from ending my miserable life but he suddenly released and let me go. Since then, I have always had a soft spot for this pack, but I have always made sure never to get caught when stealing or passing by.
I hear his son Hardin is more dangerous than his father ever was, I don’t think I ever want to face his wrath.
As I sneak across the woods, making sure I am very conscious about the movements of surrounding, I suddenly get a sweet smell heat me hard and I am almost knocked off. A smell like Lander mixed with strawberries and hot chocolate all together.
Totally yummy.
Soon I hear footsteps of girls approaching I am quick to hide behind a tree to hide myself. As the girls converse and draw nearer, there is one particular voice that makes my heart skip a beat and causes the butterflies in stomach to rise.
So, smooth, calm, confident and soothing. It sounds like beautiful music to my ears and I wish I could see her face. As they draw nearer, the smell only becomes stronger and it takes me all the strength in my body to prevent me from showing myself to that girl and hugging her tight.
“Mate!” My wolf, Kane, screams in my head as he jumps around and I just smile. I peep from my hiding spot and when my eyes land on my mate, my heart misses a beat and all the hair on my body stand erect. My heart starts throbbing violently in my chest and I swear I place my hand on my chest just so if the heart tries to hop out, I would catch it.
My mate looks scrumptious in a little yellow flowery gown that reveals how slender she is and I can’t help but smile. Her very blonde hair glowing and I swear she is the most beautiful girl in the entire universe.
I wish I could go to her, I wish I could…
“Girls…” I hear her call out as she stops walking.
“What now Diana?”
Diana.
Her name is Diana.
A beautiful name for such a beautiful lady like herself.
“Can you let perceive that sweet smell?” she asks and I go stiff behind the large tree. She cannot know I am here. That will be a catastrophe and I can’t shake from here either because they will see me. The last I want is to be locked up Alpha Hardin’s famous Silver prison.
“I can’t smell anything Diana and please we are in the middle of the woods, don’t scare the crap about of me” On of her friends plead.
“But…”
“Diana!” They cut her off and I am tempted to laugh. She seems to be the weird girl among them.
“Fine, I’ll let it …”
“Well, well, well…” I hear a familiar masculine voice chant and when I turn to look, I see Lloyd, the Earth Elemental walking towards them with a cocky smile plastered on her face. I want to go out and stop him but on a second thought, I hold myself back. I can’t blow my cover, things might get nastier for me.
“Who… who are you?” My mate asks panicking and I can feel my anger stir up when Lloyd walks closer to her. She takes calculated steps backwards but her body meets with a tree and she stops. Lloyd stops on his tracks too.
“I am the bloody Earth Elemental my dears and I will give you all something to take home to your Alpha as a message.”
Immediately, I can see his eyes change to green as he puts his hands slightly apart and gently lifts them up as if he were pulling something, the ground starts quaking and the girls who happen be three in number, fall down and I can tell that they are hurt.
My mate is hurt.
I quickly dash out from my hiding spot and stand in front of the three girls as I violently wave both hands in the air forming a mini tornado that almost tears his clothes off. Immediately, the puts his hands down and the trembling stops and I stop the wind as well.
“Kol what the hell are you doing?” He asks in horror.
“No, what the hell are doing?”
“I’m try to send a message”
“By attacking eighteen year-old girls? Isn’t that a bit of a shameful thing to do? Why don’t you pick on your age mates, besides, we all know hurting girls isn’t cool at all”
“We are in the middle of a battle, who cares as about morals and principles?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“I do, and I bet you that a good number of guys out there still do. Now if you want to send a message to Alpha Hardin, write a note and send to him or better still go there and tell him yourself. Don’t pick on girls, that’s such a dick move and even the Moon goddess doesn’t approve of it!” I retaliate and he looks at me long and hard.
I see the anger boiling in him come out in the form of sweat on his body and his green eyes suddenly become dark.
He can only get as angry as he can get, but there’s nothing he can do to me.
“This isn’t over” He says pointing to the girls and runs away. I let out a cocky smile as I turn to look at the girls who had already started crying.
“It’s fine now, you are safe” I assure them and turn to look at my mate, who swallows dry the moment our eyes meet. She is still leaning against the tree that had impeded her movement and against my better judgement and will, my legs start walking towards her. I take slowly calculated steps towards her and when we arejust a few inches away, I gently, carefully stretch my hand forward and stroke her blonde hair.
“Mate! Mate! Mate!” Kane keeps screaming on my mind and I fight my urge to smile.
My mate who still hasn’t said a word watches in silence as I inch closer to her and gently bury my face in her neck and take a long inhale of her sweet Lavender smell.
I can never get enough of it.
“Mate?” she asks and I swear blood pauses in my veins. I retreat with my face from her neck and look up at her with a wide smile plastered on her face.
“It seems so my queen” I say as I tuck a few strands of hair behind her ear and immediately, my Elemental sense alerts me that there’s another of my kind approaching and that can only be Alpha Hardin or Luna Reign, they are coming to check what caused the rumbling and they can’t find me here else I’ll be in big trouble.
“I have to go now”
“Please don’t go” My mate begs and my heart shatters into a million pieces. I hate that I have to leave her, but I don’t have a choice. I plant a brief gentle kiss on her forehead.
“I will be back for you, I promise” I say as I take on my heels before Alpha Hardin can show up.
I will definitely go back for her.
