My Miracle Luna

CHAPTER TWELVE

Alpha Ryker POV

Sighing deeply i look at my now empty glass debating on whether or not to refill it again. "Don't even, you know what happens when you drink too much and i for one don't want to have to drag your hungover ass to the toilet again. Do you have any idea how hard that is when i cant shift because you drank to much." Zane tells me with a hint of annoyance. "Just for that i'll poor me another" I tell him. I feel his annoyance when all of a sudden we catch a scent in the air, just as the wind shifts coming through the open window. We are both now on high alert.

"Do you smell that?" I can feel Zane's hair start to stand. "Yes but why would there be blood at the ceremony?" "Something isnt right we have to find out". He was right, so I jump from my window with ease and start running towards the scent when the faint smell of wolfesbane mixes with the smell of blood as we entered the forest. "Wolfesbane?" "I told you this wasnt right." We pick up our pace when another scent mixes in. A scent that fills us with burning rage. Strawberries and Coconut.

"No" I whisper in shock. Zane is trying to shift in mid run when we stop dead in our tracks in horror, we catch the final scent. That worthless, pshycotic, deranged excuse for an Alpha. We see our mate laying on the ground and not moving while he has her pinned to the ground and he was .... he was ripping her clothes off. "ROMERO" Zane roars and instantly shifted while i mind linked Logan, to get to the forrest now. It took Zane one leap to get to them and rip Romero off our mate and begins tearing into his sides. Romero manages to find an opening to kick us off, shifting instantly. He goes for our throat but Zane is to fast for his bulky wolf and rips through his right flank. A screaming howl rips through the forest. He then whips around and catches us in the ribs and forces Zane to shift back, but that didn't affect me one bit. I was blinded with rage. I narrowly miss his snapping jaws as i tuck and roll. I stand ready at the charge and see a thick branch and as soon as he is close enough i crack him across the head forcing him to shift back. I give him no time to gather his bearings when i jump on top of him with my claws extended and start ripping into him. "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY MATE" I roar just as I'm about to deliver the final blow i am tackled and restrained. I suddenly hear a bellowing roar and I see Alpha Craig standing, fury burning across his face I didnt care. I'm still seeing red and break away from his guard and attemp to lunge at Romero again when I feel a sudden searing pain as he rips me away from Romero by the arm, changed into his wolf only to shift back just as quickly grabbing me by the throat. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS" he roars when i see my beta staring in disbelief, when we suddenly hear screaming.

Alpha Craig freezes with his hands still gripping my throat. He looks to his mate and another girl who is also screaming and crying, both trying desperately to wake our mate. "She must have fallen unconscious... No..." Zane whimpers in my head. He stuggles to take control but Alpha Craig only tightens his grip.

"CRAIG STOP!! ITS CAROLINE!!" His mate screams. Alpha Craig suddenly lets go in shock. I cough and gasp a little for air. Logan quickly takes his jacket off and throws it over my mate, covering her. He pulls his mate from mine, just as Alpha Craig rushes over, kneeling over my mate checking for a pulse. Zane growls in my head but i ignore him. Alpha Craig tells one of his gaurds to grab her and rush her to the pack hospital. Zane loses it. He tries to take control, i use everything i have to try and reign him back but he achieves partial control. Zane leaps towards her, letting an almost ferral growl rip through the air. The gaurd freezes. Alpha Craig stands slowly and cautiously in subtle shock. Slowly and gently I pick up my mate, keeping our eyes on everyone. Alpha Craig nods, and we all take off running to the pack hospital. Looking down at my mate as we are running, i hear Zane whisper "Caroline...".
