Queen of The Damned

Chapter Ten

(Matt’s POV)

I stayed awake, fighting exhaustion, after Blue fell back to sleep. I wonder what she was dreaming about that freaked her out so bad. I chuckled to my self ‘it was probably me chasing her’. I looked at her calm sleeping face, “I will do anything it takes to protect you.” I leaned down and kissed the top of her head then fell asleep.

I awoke to my door being slammed open, Blue and I shot up to find James standing in the door way with a panicked look. “Matt! Get up!” He shouted rushing over to the bed.

“James what’s wrong?” Blue asked rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. I already knew by the look on James’s face, we were under attack. I leapt out of bed and threw on a red shirt, taking a few glances out of the window to see my pack fighting the unknown intruders Blue followed my gaze and gasped at the scene unfolding in the community. In my hast to the door I didn’t realize Blue following behind us.

“Blue you can’t go out there!” James shouted catching my attention.

“What? Why not?! I can help!” She shouted back at him.

I turned around and put my hand on her shoulder “Blue you need to stay here. It’s too dangerous for you. It’s not your problem to deal with.” I said in a stern voice.

“If I’m going to be Luna then you need to let me help.” Her voice trailed off and her eyes grew wide with fear. I followed her gaze towards the door, where I see Casey barley able to stand on her own. She was dripping with blood, clenching her side.

“Casey!!” Blue and James shouted while running over to help her stand.

“M-Matt” Casey’s eyes were barely open. “You... need to g-get out there....and help. T-they are...to strong...” My anger build with every word trying to escape Casey’s lips. My wolf needed revenge for his sister, I could feel him taking control. No matter how hard I fought him he would always be stronger then me.

“Blue stay with Casey, you are not to leave this room. James come with me.” My wolf growled making his way down the hallway and out of the house. Once outside I let out the loudest roar I’ve ever heard come out of my body. I quickly shifted into my wolf, I could see my pack holding strong but they wouldn’t last much longer. I lunged at the nearest enemy I could find, grabbing the scruff of his neck with my teeth. I flung him into the near by oak tree. As I assessed the situation unfolding around me. There was no way this large of an attack are all rogues. I sniffed the air and found hints of wolf, vampire and....a demon.

“Matt.” My wolf said snapping me out of my thoughts. “We need to focus!" He was right, we needed to handle this one person at at time. We ran forward and took out anyone who challenged us. Ripping apart everyone who dared to hurt my family. Werewolves or vampires they didn’t make a difference, their flesh ripped just the same. When I noticed the battle had somewhat died down, I suddenly heard glass break.

"Matt! Their in the house!" James shouted over the mind-link. I looked behind me to see vampires scaling the side of my house, breaking any windows they came across. 'What were they looking for?' I pondered to myself, then I heard screams.

"Casey!"

(Blue's POV)

"Casey are you going to be okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah B-Blue I'll be fine. I just need some rest." Her eye lids began to flutter close so I sat on the edge of the bed listening to the screams and cry's of the dying people outside. Then I heard a roar, a breath taking roar, I knew it was Matt because it sent shivers down my spine. I wondered if I could get a good look at him, so I stood up off the bed and walked to the window. I could see Matt standing in the front yard, his body started to shake then he fell to his knees. Hair was growing out of his body, his limbs looked like they were breaking. In a blink of an eye Matt was gone but a huge black wolf remained, it resembled the wolf I saw on the road a few days ago but Matt's was much bigger. I watched him for a few moments, then I saw him lunge at another wolf, I fell to the floor and my breathing became panicked. I tried to calm myself down before looking out the window again. My eyes grew wide at the sight of Matt, ripping everyone to pieces...literally....He is so strong, he could’ve killed me in the hallway but other then my wrists he didn't leave a mark or bruise, it's like he was playing with a child. I watched him for a few moments before I heard glass breaking. I looked out the window and seen gargoyle looking people climbing up the side of the house, breaking in through the windows.

One of them flew into the window of the room where me and Casey are, head butting and punching the glass until it broke. I rushed to grab a chair that was sitting by the wardrobe I hit it off the ground a few times before the legs broke off. I grabbed the broken leg and swung it to ward off the beast. It's eyes were pitch black, it's face looked as muscular as a pitbull but had the features of a bat. It looked demonic, its grey skin was cracked and it was mostly bone and muscle. It had wings coming out of its arms and attached to its sides. Its as though someone pulled these guys off of an old gothic church and brought them to life. It looked away from me and found Casey laying on the bed, it made its way towards her. The beast grabbed her by the hair and Casey's eyes shot open, she let out a loud horrified scream.

"Let go of her!" I yelled while swinging a broken chair leg. Casey was still hurt and trying to fight them off. I was on my own protecting her from the winged beast who broke into the window. "Leave her alone!" I swung at one of them, my weapon connected with their back and broke into splinters. He turned around at me and hissed, it released Casey and stalked towards me. I backed away until tripping over one of the broken off chair legs, I held it up in defense. My hands trembling but I was determined to protect Casey, I could see her trying to shift into her wolf form but she was to weak, she passed out from the sheer exhaustion. I looked back to the ugly creature in front of me, its razor sharp teeth were in rows. It lunged at me, I turned my head and shut my eyes, preparing for my death. I heard a growl and a 'whoosh' sound fly past my face. I could hear fighting and objects breaking in the room but I refused to open my eyes. I sat on the floor waiting for what ever it was to kill me, but nothing happened, there were no more screams or fighting. The whole town was silent all I could hear was the ringing in my ears.

"Blue?" I heard a distant voice say. "Blue?!" it was growing closer to me. "BLUE!" I opened my eyes and found James holding Casey in his arms while standing in front of me. Her relaxed breathing told me she was going to be okay. I looked around the room, it was covered in blood but the only person that was standing from the fight was Matt's wolf. He was panting and his fur was tinted red unsure if it was his or not. Others from the pack came in and also asked if I was okay and told me how thankful they were that I fought to protect Casey. Tears weld up in my eyes at the sight I got up and quickly ran to Matt wrapping my harms around his neck burring my face in his fur. I broke out into a full blown ugly cry, letting all my feeling pour out of me. This man, the man I have been so afraid of, so mad at, came to my side and saved my life. His pack the one I said I didn't care about where making sure I was okay after they have been fighting for their lives. I have been acting like a baby, a selfish child. I don't deserve him, I don't deserve any of them but I owed him my life, I was grateful to him and everyone else.

"I'll stay with you Matt!" I shouted through my tears. "I'm sorry for everything I did and said!" Matt's wolf sat down in front of me and laid its head on my shoulder. I have been awful to him but he still tries to make me feel better, he truly is a better person then I am.

"Blue, Matt said he understands why you acted the way you did...He would have done the same if he was in your position," James's words made me look up at him confused, did Matt say all of this earlier?

"Ho-how do you know this?" I questioned.

"Did Matt ever tell you about mind-link?" I shook my head as a response. "Well we can communicate to each other using our minds. So right now Matt's...."

"Talking to you in your head?" I interrupted to finish his sentence. He nodded his head answering my question. I looked up at Matt then back to James, "Why can't I hear him?"

"Well you're not technically in the pack yet." he said rubbing his neck.

"How do I get into the pack then?"

"Matt has to mark you. the only way an outsider can gain access into a pack is by being marked by your mate." He said awkwardly. I don't understand why his cheeks were blushing whats so weird about a mark? He already left claw marks on my wrist doesn't that count?

"Well, how does one get marked?" I asked, I know its not the way I first thought it was. James's face grew more red at my question.

"Uhm.....Matt said h-he will explain it to you later, but he uh needs to get cloths on first." I was confused. Why couldn't James just tell me. I looked up at Matt with my confused face. I let go of his fur he walked to the bathroom. After a few seconds he came out in nothing but shorts covered in blood and gashes, he still somehow managed to look as handsome as ever.

"Can you guys give us some privacy, please." Matt asked in an equally as awkward tone that James once had. They all bowed to him then walked out of the room. He cleared his throat before continuing. "Blue when I said we can talk about this later on I meant later in the future not the next day. This isn't something you want to just jump into."

"Well tell me how it works and I'll make that decision for myself."

"Blue I'm serious once you do this you can't ever leave the pack. You WILL become luna and you WILL become mine. It's something you really need to think on. Don't get me wrong I'm pretty happy you're even considering it but you need to think about what you really want." His serious face is making me more curious I had to at least know how the mark starts.

"Can you at least just tell me how to be marked THEN I will think about it?"

He gave me a sigh and gestured to the bed. "Sit down Blue, I'll try my best to explain it." I walked to the bed and sat down like he asked, he followed right behind.

"Okay now can you tell me?" I chuckled due to my nervousness. I looked up at him and his eyes were blood red, his teeth were now dog like. I could feel my body trembling from the sight, the pure dominant aura he gave off was enough to paralyze me. He stalked over to the bed growling at me, His hand wrapped around my hair pulling my head back and onto the bed. My breathing became raspy and uneven I wanted to scream but I couldn't. He climbed on top of me, his other hand grabbed my side forcing it up, making me grind on his lower abdomen. A small moan escaped my lips, He growled at my sound "Is this what you want Blue? For me to force myself onto you? For me to take a chunk out of your neck leaving only a scar of my teeth marks and scent? To take you while I'm tearing into your flesh leaving your outsides and insides sore and raw?" He spoke directly in my ear. I still couldn't speak I wasn't frightened by him just his words, the thought of having my flesh torn off scared me but nothing else did. I was actually.....a little turned on by him. He made me up to look at him, the look in his eyes told me he was turned on too. I could see my reflection in his eyes. My face was blushing and my eyes were slightly watering, my hand hovered just below my lips. Oh my god I was turned on. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?!

"M-Matt." I spoke softly my voice was still shaking.He looked at me, his eyes still red and his canines still showing I couldn't help myself. It's as though my body was no longer my own, I leaned in and stole a kiss from him. His eyes widened with shock but after a few seconds relaxed then closed completely his teeth were no longer sharp fangs, he released my hair and brought his now free hand up to my cheek and behind my ear. Our kiss was long and passionate, I broke it for air but he swiftly reconnected our lips together. I let out another small moan and he used the opportunity to infiltrate my mouth with his tongue. We stayed like this for a few minutes. His hand still on my waist slowly made its way up to my stomach and into my shirt. My body was in a state of euphoria, that is until he finally released me for a few seconds.

"I love you"
