The Alpha’s Faery

Chapter Twenty Three

Hazel

I was laying on the ground catching my breath I looked up and it was like everything went into slow motion the wolf holding me had been pushed back from the power of my wings coming through, I grabbed my opportunity my body knew what to do before I could even think, I moved my wings and I flew up into the air they were enormous and powerful I flapped at the wolves the power from them knocking them about then I held out my hand and a spell shot from me blasting the wolves away from us, I swooped down quickly to Mel she was lying unconscious on the floor “Mel! MEL!!” I screamed trying to get her to wake up and run away with me but she wouldn’t, I couldn’t pick her up she was top heavy I looked up and more wolves were starting to close in on us I shot some spells at them but I didn’t really know what I was doing so they weren’t doing much to the strong wolves I enclosed myself and Mel inside of my large wings in a last ditch attempt to protect her but strong arms took me off of her again I was kicking and screaming when several wolves closed in and took Mel away from me the last thing I saw was her limp body being picked up by one of them and taking her away from me, I screamed in rage with doing so blasted a powerful spell at the wolves holding me down they got thrown away from me again two lay motionless on the floor while the other one lumbered away in the direction the others went with Mel I looked up at the sight of them all gone from view and I broke down on the floor crying they had taken her they had taken my best friend and I had failed to save her.

I lay on the floor for a few moment when I felt a soft hand rest on my back I lunged around thinking it was one of the attackers coming back but I looked up in my daze and saw Tristan's petrified eyes looking down at me I just wailed and threw myself into his arms he sat on the floor rocking and soothing me just being in his arms was starting to slowly calm me down I could hear him barking orders at some others standing around us but I couldn’t bear to think about Mel and where they might of taken her or telling Lucas that I had failed to save her, I wept into Tristan shoulder for what seemed like hours when I noticed Tristan's soft voice speaking to me “Hazel baby you need to tell me what happened” he asked quietly I looked up at him a pained expression on his face “they took her Tristan they took her” I wailed I heard a lone heart breaking howl pierce the air around us I knew it must have been Lucas my eyes welled up again at the sound of his sorrowful howl “which way did they go Hazel” Tristan asked me urgency in his voice I pointed in the direction that they went and I heard several paws running in that direction I hoped beyond hope that they managed to catch up with them I looked up into Tristan's eyes “oh baby what happened why where you out alone for so long we were searching for you I don’t know why I didn’t think to look here first I should of known” Tristan scolded himself “it's not your fault Tristan we should of come back sooner I’m so sorry” my tears starting to flow again Tristan pulled me into a spine crunching hug “I thought I had lost you” he breathed “I’m here, but Mel isn’t and its all my fault I got my wings but I still couldn’t save her” I spluttered wiping away my tears Tristan stroked my long wings “they are breath taking you know” he said with a small smile “I haven’t looked yet” I sniffed “we will find her, we didn’t take long to get here I sent wolves straight in the direction that you pointed to Lucas didn’t know which way to turn he left after them, we will get her back baby, its not your fault” Tristan cupped my face bringing it up to look him in the eyes “I hope so” I breathed, his eyes glazed over “they have someone, you go back to the pack house with Liam and Daz I will come straight back and find you” he shifted into his wolf form and took off down the hill I sat hugging my knees for a while praying that they had Mel she needed to be saved, the pain in my back had started to throb again I had heard that a quick transformation could cause pain and I certainly had a quick one I stood up and faced two official looking wolves I started walking back to the pack house with them following me I was distraught I didn’t want to go back to the pack house people would ask questions about my wings and I was in no mood to talk to people I wanted to just go and lie on our bed and wait for Tristan and Lucas to bring Mel back, I heard pounding foot steps behind me we all turned round to see Lucas running flat out with Mel in his arms “MEL” I screamed Lucas was in wolf form and I couldn’t communicate with him but he swiftly pulled up beside one of my guards “what is it what's happening is Mel ok?” I was asking frantically but no one spoke to me a silent conversation quickly passed between Lucas and I think the guard called Daz then Lucas took off again towards the pack house I looked at Daz bewildered “come on Hazel we need to get you back” he urged me forward “tell me what Lucas said” I demanded Daz looked at me sympathetically “Mel has been hurt and Lucas is rushing her to the hospital wing, there was a fight it is ongoing and more rogues are pouring in, we need to send reinforcements to help Tristan and the others” he looked at me frowning “what does that mean!” I practically screeched thinking of Tristan in danger now “come on we need to get back” Liam spoke to me softly glaring at Daz I looked between them “what is happening tell me now!” I shouted Daz sighed and Liam gave him a hard stare “what's happening is that the war is starting Hazel”.
