" I have no intention of marrying that vampire slut. She isn't even my mate. "
Cane was drinking with his buddies at his backyard. He was the Alpha's son but he had got a Gamma's marking. His masculinity had been bleeding since then. Moreover the talk of his union with the vampires was making him feel more out of power.
He knew he would become a puppet in the hands of the Vampire Patriarch if his father did finalise this marriage. He could only rant about this with his loyal friends. In front of his father, he dared not to say a word.
Frederick was one of his mates. More like his best one. He once enjoyed the same position as Cane but now after the unification of all the Packs, he was just another Pack Warrior. He hadn't received his mark yet. There wasn't anybody else marked Alpha after the current one. So he still had a chance. A hope.
"Man up Cane. Marrying a slut doesn't make you any less of a person. Just imagine. You could get to see a vampire siren in all her bare. Come on man. Who has ever done that in our Packs?
You could even tell us all about it later boy. "
Frederick slapped Cane thrice on his back. The rest of the boys cheered on.
" Yeah. Tell us all about how you eat and tear her flesh. "
Frederick slapped this one on the head. A chubby, short, werewolf. Pim by the name.
" Thats not food we are talking about you i***t. It's a female vampire. That too the daughter of their leader.
I wonder how she looks. "
" Probably like a human. "
The one named Zolo, guessed.
Frederick slapped him too.
" What a bunch of idiots I have for friends. Haven't you guys ever seen a female night crawler before? "
They shook their heads. Except Cane. He was taking a nap already. Too intoxicated after drinking all ten bottles.
" They have pale, cold skin. Slender figues. Long legs and hands... "
" You seem to know a lot of their details. Pim cut Frederick short.
" Thats because I was once a Alpha's son. Head of my pack. You idiots. "
He hit them once more and left from there. Dejected.
He jumped and shifted into his wolf form. That was his best way to get some relaxation. He howled aloud at the night sky. The earth still bright and blue.
Then leaped ahead, vanishing in the horizon.
It had not been very far from Cane's house. When he stopped. Something smelled different. He sniffed as he went towards the direction. He saw clearly something move behind a tree. Something on the ground.
He sniffed the air.
A vampire.
Every strand on his beast's hair stood up. He slowly approached it with a snarl.
" Ahh! Oh! No! "
It was a female. She was shaking at the huge sight of Frederick's beast.
But she just kept back off. Without running. Frederick sniffed again.
Blood.
Was she injured?
He lifted his paw and pressed its leg. Gently.
" Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! "
Her scream filled the air.
That was right. She had a broken leg.
Frederick went around her . Observing.
It was a rare sight to see a vampire in distress. That too a damsel.
He laughed a Wolfy laugh.
Scaring more the poor thing.
He slowly reached her face. Then went down with his nose.
Touching her collar bones in the process. She sat still. Daring not even to breathe.
Frederick thought to push his luck and went ahead diving a bit deeper. Where her skimpy top barely covered her cleavage. He bit the jacket that was covering a little with one sharp pull.
The girl was now shaking.
Frederick stepped a little backward. Then couched, about to leap and pounce on her frail structure.
THUD!
THROW!
SNAP!
Two hands grabbed Frederick's beast ears from nowhere and threw his away mid air. He was flung like a frisbee. His back snapped against a big rock. He whimpered . Then slowly started turning back.
" Minara. Minara are you alright? "
It was Blaze who had come to her rescue. He looked at her broken leg.
" We need to set this before it starts to join at the wrong angle. "
He was asking for Minara's permission. She nodded.
" Here, " He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and gagged her with it.
It was to prevent her from biting her own tongue by accident.
" On the count of -
Three
Two and
One. "
"AAAAAAA! "
Minara squeezed the flesh out of Blaze's shoulders were she held, in pain. Her scream coming beyond the filter of the cloth. Supressed but still strong.
" There. " Blaze quickly put the bone at the right angle for Minara's self healing to do the rest.
He pulled the handkerchief from her mouth. Then wrapped it around her leg like a make shift bandage.
" Keep it straight. Don't try to put pressure on it before it is completely fixed. "
Blaze commanded. Minara obediently nodded. Then picked her up in both his arms.
He walked straight to the spot where Frederick was still groaning.
He kicked him on his chest and said,
" Hey mutt. Where is your Governance House? "
Frederick didn't look up.
He kicked between his rib harder.
Minara grabbed Blaze in fear. It was evident she was still coiling from this creature's fear.
" Speak up! "
Blaze's voice tore the stillness of the night.
Frederick pointed his hands towards the right without still looking up.
He was fuming and swearing under his breath.
" You better not mislead us. I will find you and shred you to pieces if that happens to be that case. "
Blaze walked away, baring his fangs at him one last time.
Frederick finally looked at his direction. His silhouette slowly vanishing in the night's black.
" Finding and shredding huh? I will make sure I am the one doing that to you. "
