Alpha Alexander POV
They seemed like they were in a hypnotic state. Closing to one location, the pack house. This is very much different than the vampires we laid to waste last week. Last time they were focused on taking women and children for their own feeding and pleasure. This time they were easier to kill.
The battle continues for a couple hours, and so far, none of our pack has died. I would have felt them leave the pack bond l, followed by mourning from other pack members. Never the less we were getting tired. I dodged a vampire’s attack in my wolf form before grabbing his leg and breaking it. It didn’t seem to phase him one bit, except for the fact that he fell due to the unstable leg. He kept crawling towards the pack mansion in a trance and I jumped on him to ripe his head from his body. Then he stopped moving, indicating his death.
As soon as I killed one, another appeared as if by magic. I could feel my pack getting tired as I decapitated another vampire. I was about to jump on another member of the undead when there was a blinding flash of light from the middle of the battlefield.
“What the fu” I started before I was interrupted by another bright light.
When the light vanished I looked to where the light had come from and saw 2 figures standing in the middle of the battlefield. I looked around and noticed the vampires were all now corpses on the ground. The battle was over.
“I request the presence of Alpha Alexander of the Silver Moon Pack.” One of the figured spoke loudly in a deep voice.
“What business have you here?” I asked as shifted back. A pack member quickly handed me a pair of sweat pants and I slipped them on.
“Alpha Alexander, I presume?” he asked as he turned towards me with the other figure, who appeared to be female. As I got closer to them I recognized their scent. Fae.
“You are Fae. Are you here to help my mate?” I asked. No way they were here by coincidence.
“It depends. We heard rumors about a Fae in need of a Fae Healer. Is your mate a Fae?” he asked.
“She is. Follow me this way.” I said not wanting to waste time.
“Your not going to ask what we want for payment?” he asked me.
“At this point, you can take all the wealth I have, and it would still be worth it.” I responded.
“Understood.” The Fae said.
I led them into the pack mansion and up to my room where my mate was unconscious. I opened the door my Gamma instantly was on guard.
“Its alright Samuel. The Fae are here to help my mate.” I said placing a hand on his shoulder. He then moved out of the way and I heard both of the Fae gasp, then they fell to their knees and bowed to my unconscious mate.
“What’s the matter? What’s going on?” I asked. The Fae instantly stood up and faced me.
“Did you not know that your mate is the Fae Queen?” the woman Fae asked me in disbelief.
“What? How?” I asked in shock.
“Her red hair. Only the royals have it. She is the last Royal Fae.” The wan Fae said as she stepped towards my mate.
“Wait, if she is who you say she is, what’s to stop a couple of deserters from killing her.” I asked them.
“Oh, we could never! I served her father as his royal advisor before he passed. The new ruler of the Fae Realm isn’t a ruler and had me exiles because I suspected he had something to do with the deaths of Queen Kathrine’s parents as well as her kidnapping. I still am and will forever be loyal to the crown.” He explained.
“Forgive me for my rudeness. I am Adam, and this is my mate Victoria.” He finished as him and his mate bowed their heads down to me with their right hands placed over their hearts.
“Adam and Victoria, this is Samuel my Gamma.” I said as I gestured to him.
“Alpha, may I?” Victoria spoke up gesturing to my mate. I nodded for her to proceed, the approached mate with care.
The Fae closed her eyes and placed her hands on either side of Kathrine’s head. It felt like an eternity as I waited for Victoria to give me the news of my mates condition, but I knew it had just been a mere few minutes. Then she removed her hands from my mates face, opened her eyes and stood up.
“I need my bag.” Victoria said to Adam. He nodded to her and disappeared into thin air. I was shocked for a split second before I remembered that the Fae can teleport. That must come in handy.
A few moments later Adam returned with a brown leather bag that looked a little small to me, but then Victoria was able to reach her whole hand through and pull out a vial of clear liquid with a pink tint.
“What is that?” I asked the Fae.
“Some herbs to help her heal.” She said to me, but I could tell it was only a half truth.
“You not telling the whole truth.” I said accusingly.
“I don’t have enough to explain right now Alpha. Let me do my job.” She said in a soothing voice.
I didn’t reply back, instead I watched. She took the vial and opened my mates mouth and places drops on her tongue. I didn’t know what was happening but honestly if it heal my mate then I wouldn’t question it. Victoria placed her hands on either side of Kathrine face once again and began murmuring something unintelligible. All of a sudden , Kathrine’s body emitted a bright light as her eyes her mouth opened and her back arched as if she was possessed.
Five seconds later, Kathrine’s body was still on the bed as she had been. I couldn’t believe what I had seen and I felt like I was in a state of shock. Did that really just happen. Victoria stood up and looked at me as I could see her eyes, which were completely white, return to normal. Not going to lie, that was a little creepy.
“Alpha, you mate was under a witches magic to create a fake mate bond with a Vampire. This way the vampire could share her power.” Victoria said with a straight face, obviously trying to remain professional. My wolf snarled loudly at the fact that someone shared a bond with my mate. She was and is MINE. Pretending not to notice my outburst of anger Victoria continued speaking.
“As you know when you die, your mate who you have bonded with dies as well. Being that a synthetic mate bond was created between Kathrine and the vampire, when he died, she slowly began to die as well instead of dying at the same time, like she would with her fated mate.”
“Where you able to destroy the synthetic mate bond?” I asked. Veronica had opened her mouth to speak when all of a sudden I heard a huge gasp come from my mate as she sat straight up in bed. My mate had awoken.
