Undefeated Luna

20. New Power (long)

Kilian POV:

I couldn’t believe what she said, my mate accepted me. She was going to be the next Luna of The New Orleans Marble Pack. Unfortunately, the acceptance took its toll on her, my perfect mate has not slept in over two days and accepting a mate takes a lot of energy, too much for her to handle, the energy she gave away went into me. I had endorphins running through me.

I was glad today was Saturday which meant we had no training. I carried Felicity to her bed and snuggled next to her. Her body fitting perfectly next to mine.

When the morning came, I had to go to my room and take a shower. I woke up and Felicity’s head was on my chest, she naturally cuddled up to me. Leaving her was the last thing I wanted to do but she needed to rest.

After my shower, I went to my office as I needed to come up with a new plan.  Plan where Felicity was protected. She would not like it as she was always protecting people around her not the other way round. A few hours in and I devised a plan, doubling up on the wall protection, ordering more weapons from the Elders and notifying the rest of the Alphas of the new raise in vampires.

I was interrupted by the smell of chocolate, I looked up from my desk and Felicity was standing in front of me. Her hair was tied in a ponytail and she was still looking half dazed.

“Good afternoon darling” she gave me a scolding look.

“Afternoon? Have I missed training?” she panicked.

“Don’t worry it’s Saturday, we don’t train on Saturday” I made my way round the desk and stood in front of her, placing both of my hands on the desk.

“We need to train every day; we don’t know what’s coming!” Felicity snarled.

“My men need to rest, shifting every day is not good for them” I didn’t break eye contact “Felicity do you remember anything from last night?”

“Yes” she murmured “I accepted you as my mate” she sounded almost proud.

I leaned in closer to her ear, “I Kilian Castor, Alpha of the Marble Pack accept you Felicity Peters as the Luna of the Pack and as my mate” I whispered it to her ear, I could feel the mate bond strengthening. She pulled me in closer and kissed my marking spot, electricity passed through my body as I couldn’t contain my excitement. My primal instincts came out and I needed Felicity now, I had to have her.  I heard stories of what the mate bond could do to people and how desperate we became when we were near our mate. I lusted after her when I first saw her but now that she finally accepted me, it wasn’t lust it was desperation. I was desperate to be with her.

I pushed her onto the desk and she leaned onto her elbows, I leaned forward and kissed her with every ounce of power I had inside of me, my kisses traced her soft lips, moving onto her marking spot. She let out a little moan and I knew if I wanted to have her now, she wouldn’t stop me. Her hands were moving in between my hair and she was starting to pull on it.

Knock Knock Knock

Instantly, Felicity put her feet up and kicked me off herself in the chest.

“Come in” whoever it was, I was going to ring their neck in. I fixed myself up and sat in my chair, Felicity walked to the other side of the room and grabbed a book to look like she was doing something.

“Hey Alpha, you got a letter from the Elders” Seth came in holding an envelope, he was smirking, waiting to see if I noticed what he just did.

“I have to say Seth, well done for knocking but your timing is s**t” I couldn’t contain my frustration. My finger grazed the Elders seal, the simple stamp of a house, “You haven’t read it?”

“I did tell you I’m learning” Seth would usually read the letters that would be addressed to the Alpha and would only give me the ones that mattered. I broke the seal and started to read the letter. With every word I read my face dropped and I held the paper tighter.

“What is it?” Seth asked, Felicity still stood in the corner.

“The Elders have been attacked by the new species of vampires” Felicity came forward listening intensively. Flashes’ of Brookes death appeared in front of me, “They have killed every single one of them except one. He was tortured but he didn’t reveal anything”.

“What does that mean for us?” Felicity asked. I didn’t know if she was talking about us as in me and her or us as in wolves or us as in the Elder’s army.

“We need to go out of our territory and start killing them before they get to us” I instructed.

“I will get our best fighters ready for tonight Alpha” Seth bowed and walked off, finally leaving me alone with Felicity.

“Are you going to be joining us tonight Luna?” I smirked as I walked over to her.

“Don’t call me that, I am not a Luna” she protested.

“Ohh but you will be” she frowned at me “you know you look like her when you’re angry”.

“Look like who?” she stepped back and gave me a stern look.

“Sarah, you look like Sarah”.

“No one knows what Sarah looks like, don’t tease me, come on we have work to do” she was getting ready to leave my office.

“What?  I’ve seen her picture, it’s in that book you’re holding”.

She looked at me confused but lifted the book she was holding and flicked through the pages. She gasped quietly and dropped it on the floor.

“Oh Mother” Felicity covered her mouth as she said it. “It’s her…it’s the woman from my dreams”.

“What woman?” I questioned.

“My whole life she would visit me in my dreams, as a small child I was terrified of her but then I got used to her. When I was in Columbia, she came to me and touched my face, Kilian she is the one who told me to come back to you, Sarah wants me to be with you”.

Felicity POV:

As I saw her picture my whole life became even messier than it already was. I was the strongest Daughter to ever exist, I had trained my whole life but that power was only down to Xavier’s blood.

I would have to marry and mate a wolf something that I never accepted, rejected in fact. Sarah wanted me to be here, she wanted me to be with Kilian, therefore she did not want me to be a Mother.

“Kilian, I need my full power before Dracula gets here” I stated.

“Yes, I know”.

“So, I need to have s*x with you before you can mark me?”

“Where are you going with this? You already know that”.

“However, in order to do that, you need to... defeat me and it has to be realistic” I couldn’t believe the words I was saying.

“Tomorrow? During Training” he proposed.

“My sisters will not be happy”.

I had to leave; I couldn’t be in the room any longer. Have I really just said those words, have I just given my life away? All for power?

It’s not just power Felicity.

Estrid? Where have you been? I’ve missed you.

When you went back to Columbia, you got further away from Kilian and the spell started to work again. I couldn’t talk to you.

What should I do?

Well, I’m a bit biased because I want to be with Bane, but you need the power to defeat  Dracula and mating will give you that power.

After a couple of hours of deliberating what I should be doing I remembered that I need to get ready to go into New Orleans. Seth was getting the army ready to go out and I needed to tell my Sisters.

They all agreed to go into the city with me, they wanted to practice their new skills and it has been days since they were out on a mission. When we got to New Orleans, I paired up with Poppy. I wasn’t going to make the same mistake I did with Brooke.

After an hour of searching, we saw a young boy running around, confused, and seeking help. Me and Poppy gave each a quick look and we knew what we had to do. I let Estrid take control of my legs and I ran faster than I have ever ran. We didn’t follow the boy; we went into the direction he came from.  I followed the smell of blood and we came across a few dead bodies on the floor. What was worse was that they were piling up leading up the alley.

“Fury I have a bad feeling about this, it looks like a set up” Poppy whispered whilst pulling out her sword.

“Stay quiet… can you smell that?” that damn wolf nose, I could smell sewage, the same smell that lurked around when Brooke died.

“Smell what?” Poppy asked.

“Look up there” we crouched behind a building.

There was a group of vampires ahead, two of them held a semi-conscious woman who was on her knees and another held a blood-soaked sword. He had, like all of them, white eyes, and short blonde hair, although it was covered in blood.

“Fury, there’s about ten of them, we can take them on” Poppy was keen.

“They don’t die the normal way remember, go for their spine” I ordered.

“I will” Poppy stood up and started to walk toward them. Remembering every lesson that we have been taught not wasting time was one of the first lessons.

 We attacked like this hundreds of times before, one of us would walk out and kill a few, whilst we would be surrounded the other would attack from behind.  Poppy came up to one from behind and slashed his back, exposing his spine, with one punch she broke it. This got the attention of all the other vampires.

As they circled her, I had to wait my turn, they were so focused on Poppy that they did not see me as I stabbed three of them in their backs. The remaining five were easy to kill, they might have been vampires but they had no training. Only one remained the one that was about to kill the girl. Poppy was slashing him on the back trying to get to his spine.

“Poppy Stop!” I shouted just as she was about to break his spine, “we need to question him” she ripped a piece of his t-shirt and stuffed his mouth with it.  If the prisoner that the Elders captured wasn’t going to say anything maybe this one would.

Kilian POV:

Walking around New Orleans was quite eerie, we found a few dead bodies that needed to be discarded since they had their wrists cut and drained from their blood.  I could smell the vampires and Seth was on high alert with me. We followed the smell and we came across nine people with their spines broken, obviously the work of the Daughters.  There was nothing else for us to do, we had to burn the bodies before the humans found them and head back home.  As we made our way up to the Estate, I could smell blood.

“What’s happened here?” Seth pointed to the trail of black blood that was smeared through the entrance.

“That’s not human blood” I answered, as we followed the blood, we made our way to the cells in the basement. We didn’t use these anymore, only whenever rogues entered my premises. Since my reputation was known around America not one has tried to attack us for a while.

“You son of a b***h!” I heard Poppy shout, followed by a loud thud. Seth just looked at me. I knew Daughters were ruthless but Poppy was blood thirsty. I opened the door and I was met with the smell of sewage. Poppy was punching the vampire without stopping to take a breath.

“Poppy?” no response “Poppy! HEY POPPY!” finally she looked at me and gave me a manic smile.

“Ohh hey Alpha, we saved you one”.

“We?” I looked for Felicity.

“Yeah, me and Fury, we saved one to question” she looked at the mess she made on the floor “but he doesn’t feel like talking” a punch “and when he does, he is speaking gibberish”. Poppy finally stood up and went over to the sink to clean her hands while Seth started taking his jacket off to get his hands on him as well.

“Still nothing?” Felicity appeared behind me .

“Well actually Fury he started mumbling so we know his vocal cords are working” Poppy answered to which the vampire just mumbled .

“What did you just say? What work?” Felicity asked. We all just looked at each other, we didn’t know who she was talking to. The vampire started talking again, but we didn’t understand him.

“Why is he doing that?” she approached him again “He is not! If he was so powerful why would he get captured?”. Felicity was having a full conversation with him but we didn’t know what was being said, we only heard what Felicity was saying.

“Can you believe this bastard?” she directed it to us “what?” she asked.

“No Felicity we can’t, he’s not speaking English, only you were” I said, Felicity only raised her eyebrow.

“Are you saying I’m the only one who can understand him?”

“Yeh-huhh” Poppy answered sarcastically.

“He said that Dracula is the most powerful being and his army is only getting stronger, he is going to eliminate all his enemies” Felicity looked down at the man in front of her, there was no humanity left, no sorrow and no compassion in his eyes “you can kill him now” she said as she walked out of the cell.

“With pleasure” Seth started to shift.
