The Alpha’s Chosen Mate

Raziel’s Fear

Raziel's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the bubble covering them.

Did she just cast a spell?

It was crystal clear she had just cast a shield spell. But how? This was unbelievable. She had never cast a spell once in her life before. How come she could now?

Just then, she felt a gush of strength leave her, making her whole body feel numb. Does it take that much strength to cast a spell? Staring at the thousands of rogues again, her eyes widened and she screamed again. Thank goodness it was all caught in the bubble and the Vampires could neither see nor hear them.

Their bloody red eyes were staring around and their fangs were out, making Raziel want to think that all of this was a nightmare and that she would wake up anytime soon in her cabin. Her heart was beating loudly, possibly trying to hop out of her, and her body was trembling in fear.

"Didn't you just say you don't know how to cast a spell?" She heard the man ask beside her.

"I-I don't know how I was able t-to do it," she stuttered, with her voice shaking.

Raziel shrieked when she saw the Vampires moving towards them with their eyes filled with bloodlust. She was stopping herself from fainting at the moment. Her eyes were closing and her body was going limp but she managed to keep herself up as she was scared. What if they eat her up if she loses consciousness? Or drain her dry of her blood, which she doesn't want.

"They are not supposed to see us, then why are t- they moving to..towards us?" She asked him in fear.

"Shh, indeed, they can't see or hear us but they can feel and smell your presence in this forest and they are not walking towards us because they can see us, they're just trying to find out where the scent is coming from," Sebastian answered, trying to hold her body from falling and keeping her still.

These vampires, he could recognize these vampires very well. They were the rogues who tend to always make the city unrest and fight the wolves. Who would have thought that his uncle was in charge of them? He was surely going to teach them a lesson after making sure that the scaredy cat who was clinging to his arm was safe. Sebastian could feel his anger rising to the brim and his bloodthirst increasing. His fangs were slowly growing out, stabbing into his lips and his fingernails grew, turning black and sharp.

Raziel turned her head to look at the now quiet man who was standing beside her with an awful aura and her heart nearly flew outside the bubble. Her body shook as her insecurities increased. All of this was going to give her a heart attack. Sebastian looked at her and saw her trembling, staring at him as if she just saw a ghost, he managed to control his emotions and turn back to normal. He didn't know that the fear Raziel got from seeing him this way was more than the fear of seeing a ghost.

Before any of them could say anything, the bubble started blinking like it was going to vanish any second from now. The spell was fading away and Sebastian doubted that she would be able to do it again. Raziel's head snapped, turning her body and looking at the blinking bubble which serves as protection to them, in fear. It was fading away and the vampires would now see them. The tears which she has been blinking back for a while, freely fall like they wanted to fill an ocean.

"Listen to me," he started.

"The spell is going to fade away now. I'll distract them and take them down. Try doing what you did before and cast a shield spell on yourself, unless you want to die now. Do you understand?" He continued, in an authoritative tone, and that even made her cry harder and only her sobs could be heard in the bubble.

How was she going to cast another spell when she doesn't even know how she did it the first time? Maybe this was karma paying her back for all the misfortunes she has caused her family and for being such an unfilial and disobedient child. She didn't want to be anyone's food, especially not these bloodthirsty night creatures.

Seeing she didn't answer him and only kept crying, Sebastain held her hands and gave her the golden staff he has been holding and ordered,

"Hold this and protect it with your life."

He held her arms with both his free hands and shook her, making her stare at him with blurry eyes.

"Do as I say, the bubble is going to vanish. Try and cast another shield spell on yourself, NOW!" he roared, his fangs and nails growing, piercing into her arms but he quickly freed her. His golden orbs shone brighter and just then, the bubble disappeared.

The vampires turned their heads in their direction and snarled their fangs at them. Sebastian ran forward and they jumped through some trees and landed in front of him.

"He sent you guys right?" He asked one of the vampires with his eyes blazing with anger.

"Oh, you knew? Well, we all want to climb to the maximum and get hold of the werewolf kingdom. there's nothing we could do except to get rid of the stumbling block on our way. We have to get you out, dog," one of the rogues answered, smiling and showing his fangs.

Such a big dream. Getting hold of his kingdom was only going to be a dream to them because he wasn’t letting them get it, so he roared, lunging at him but the man quickly step aside and push some of the rogues to him. Soon they surrounded him.

Raziel felt the bubble return and covered her in the spot where she was standing. She could clearly see the Vampires lunging at the man she had saved with blades. Suddenly, he disappeared and a big silver wolf started fighting the rogues. The wolf would lung at them and with his teeth, pull the heads of the rogues and throw them away like a bunch of garbage.

Those sights brought bile to her throat and more of the vampires kept having their necks snapped by the big silver wolf. That was when she succumbed to her dizziness and her body went limp as she fell on the floor with the golden staff in her hands and the bubble encircling her.

The silver wolf took one of the vampire's swords and threw him aside. He has taken down more than one hundred vampires and it seems they only keep increasing.

"Your majesty.”

“Alpha!”

He heard his pack members’ voices in his head and soon a decent amount of wolves all joined the fight to take down the vampires.
