This Alpha Won’t Stop Chasing Me!

Chapter 17: Pincer Attack Part 3

Chapter 17

Caramella has no time to hesitate when she saw the captain being dragged out of the captain's quarters. They are hiding in the vents then and Lenard is anxiously waiting for her report about the situation.

'I shouldn't have second thoughts, Lenard is weaker than me so telling him that his husband is being dragged outside would make him drop down and attack' she poked her nose at the vent lid, 'They might find out that I'm a Lycans if I help out but…I feel bad for Lenard'

Caramella knows what she should do and what she wants. Even if she only knew Lenard for mostly four hours, she still wants to help him because they promised.

'Besides, I don't want to feel guilty if the captain died because of my choices'

So, she headbutted the vent open, quickly transformed back to her human form as she was dropping on the floor and landed on the ground like a superhero. The werewolves who are still inside shifted their focus towards her, but they are too late.

In one quick move, she punched the nearest werewolf with all of her strength, making the poor half beast fly across the room and hit another werewolf.

"Hey!"

Before another werewolf can aim their g*n at her, she tripped another werewolf and used him as a shield just when the others started shooting. Blood rained down on the ground and she almost got shot on the side when a sneaky werewolf lunged on the side to shoot at her. Thankfully, Lenard's sharp senses noticed the movement immediately.

"Duck!" He exclaimed, transformed back from his human form as he peeked through the entrance of the vent.

Caramella ducked quickly just when a blast of shotgun shells went past her head, singing some of her red hair.

"Get back!" She earned back, just in time.

Lenard scurried backwards before shots started to blast holes on the vent. When Caramella made sure that he is safe, she continued knocking out the rest of the enemies before watching the poor bastards running towards the door.

"This is for separating me from my child, YOU BASTARDS!" She exclaimed as she jumped and aimed a heel towards the nearest werewolf and kicked him towards the glass windows along with his comrade.

The glass of the window shattered everywhere, spraying the shards everywhere.

That's when time slowed down when she realized what she's done and immediately sought out where the captain Judiah is.

She landed smoothly on the ground and c****d the silver g*n that Darius gave her before shooting the werewolves holding down the captain and ran towards him amidst the confusion.

"ATTACK!"

She was startled when she heard Darius's strong voice and shifted her gaze towards the sound and noticed Darius way down the next floor down. He looked happy to see her, oddly enough, showing off a rare smile that makes him look way more handsome than he already is. She blushed as she quickly looked straight on.

All hell breaks loose after that.

The Lycans from below jumped up the railings, joining in with the Lycans who already started fighting by jumping down from the rooves. The large Lycans started eating werewolves up that are holding what looks like capsules or grenades.

"You! Who the hell are you! What are you!?"

She almost got hit by another shotgun blast but her instincts kicked in and immediately dodged them by rolling on the side, dragging Judiah with him.

The one who almost killed her twice is a female werewolf with short light brown fur, wearing a tuxedo. She also has two golden hoop earrings on one ear. She is grimacing towards her in a very ugly but threatening manner.

"Why do you ask?" Caramella stayed low, almost crouching. She looks silly in human form but staying in that form will make her less suspicious…although she wishes that everyone who saw what she's done would either think that she's a very strong human or she's a vampire.

'Just don't think of me as a Lycan please' she crossed her fingers.

The female werewolf growled, "You don't smell like a Lycan…how can a human like you be so strong. Or are you a vampire?"

Then she aimed her shotgun again towards Caramella who quickly ducked before the werewolf could pull the trigger. She grabbed a broken shard of glass window from the floor and dashed towards the werewolf who was still aiming at her.

"Why won't you go ahead and smell me to make sure!" Caramella exclaimed as she pounced on the indecisive werewolf. But the werewolf is also fast, dodging her quickly by backstepping. Only for Caramella to pounce on her again like a predatory cat, aiming for a jittery mouse.

"YOU-!" The werewolf was backing away further and further, still having trouble aiming the shotgun on a moving target as she continued to dodge Caramella.

Thwack!

Caramella punched the werewolf straight on the stomach and the wereful groaned in pain, only to hit back at her by slamming the butt of her g*n on Caramella's back. They both retreated in pain.

"You're one persistent daughter of a b***h!" The werewolf cursed as she reloaded her shotgun, blood dripping down the side of her lip.

"And you're a nasty mouthed asshole" Caramella smirked, lifting up the broken shard that she picked up, now soaked in blood.

The female werewolf looked surprised before looking down on her legs that has an ugly cut.

"s**t" the female werewolf cursed, her face contorting in what looks like regret and pain. Obviously, she doesn't want to die.

"Hey! What's your name" Caramella asked, "I don't want to kill someone who looks like they're forced into this war"

"What do you care!?" The female werewolf exclaimed as she aimed the shotgun towards Caramella again, "It's not like you, who doesn't even have the blood of a beast, understand us half bloods! We are treated like garbage in this godforsaken society! "

Caramella dodged the shots again with ease, "Even if I'm human, and even if you are treated like trash. You guys don't deserve to kill other species for no reason”

She can tell that the female werewolf are different from the others. First of all, she is young, a high schooler most likely. Her eyes show that she's only being used, with no sense of real purpose whatsoever in this war. Just like her and Oliver who got dragged in this crap because they are running away from home and to safety.

'She reminds me of myself'

The female werewolf's eyes gleamed, “Do you think I don’t know that?” she growled as she replaced the empty shells in her shotgun with new ones, “That is the meaning of war. Kill or be killed and those that died because of the stray bullets are nothing new”

There is also another reason why Caramella can’t kill the female werewolf like she did with the others, and that is-

“Your mother, Sylvanna. She’s looking for you”

The young werewolf stopped moving, just after aiming the g*n towards Caramella again.

“M-my mother?”

‘I’m sorry’ Caramella thought before using the opportunity of confusion to dash behind the female werewolf and hitting her at the back of the head with enough force that made the youngster unconscious. The shotgun fell from the werewolf’s grip and she caught the unconscious werewolf who turned back into her human form.

The teen has straight light brown hair, cut in an undercut with two golden hoop earrings on her left ear. She looks beautiful, like a teen heartthrob in school and maybe even lovelier if she didn’t cut her hair.

Just as she suspected, the teen looks like Sylvanna, one of her human neighbors from back in their apartment that they just abandoned. The fact that she saw this teen before, leaving their apartment dressed in uniform and hanging out with their friends, made her more angrier at this incorrigible war.

‘I can’t believe someone like her who used to be a normal highschooler would join this war. Just what is happening?’ she asked herself, biting down on her lower lip as she carried the teen inside where there was less chaos.

Lenard managed to save his husband as they were already hiding in one of the vacant rooms inside the captain’s quarters.

“Come on, Len, this is nothing” the captain, who looked at the sniffling Lenard in his arms gently, made a ‘shhh’ gesture to her.

Caramella quietly placed the unconscious teen on the bed before she confiscated all of the ammo and weapon the teen was hiding in her tuxedo. There are shotgun shells in her breast pockets and pants. A dagger strapped on her left leg and a handgun on her right. Caramella even found a poison needle hidden in the hem of her shirt.

;Jeez, this kid is ready’ she thought, carefully putting the poison needle and weapons in the trashcan before tying it up neatly.

“But, you almost died. You know I will kill myself if you die, I can’t live without you!” Lenard cried harder, hugging Judiah even tighter.

Caramella can’t help but shake her head, ‘I can’t believe the straightforward, ruthless Lenard is such a crybaby in front of the captain’

“Aww, Len. Don’t say that, it will make me sad” Judah happily hugged Lenard back, making the atmosphere weird. Caramella just rolled her eyes at their lovey-dovey scene. The difference in personality from the Lenard before and now, makes her sick.

“Ehem, sorry but we have to move on quickly” She interrupted, “We are in the middle of a war, mind you”

Lenard jolted at the sound of Caramella’s voice and he couldn't help but blush in embarrassment as he pried himself off of his husband who pouted at the lost of embrace.

“Ah, yes. Of course, you did help me save Judiah so, yes-” he cleared his throat awkwardly, avoiding Caramella’s gaze that is telling him to be ashamed of himself, “we should also bring back Oliver to the safe zone”

Caramella sighed, “Shall we go?”

Judiah looked between Lenard and Caramella, “This is cool and all but…first off…who are you?”
