The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Chapter 51: Berryndale Bazaar

Friday’s POV

One of the vampires dove towards me and in an instant Maze grabbed his head and twisted it, snapping his neck so forcefully that he beheaded him. He threw the head into the fire. Thaddeus ripped the head without even twisting it off the other vampire and tossed it into the fire as well. I was horrified and shocked and relieved my alphas were ok. I knew they were skilled warriors but all I had ever know of them were their romantic sides. Even when Maze had rejected me, he had done so privately and calmly.

“I TOLD YOU TO STAY INSIDE! WHY MUST YOU WILFULLY DISOBEY EVEN A REASONABLE ORDER!!!!! ”Thaddeus yelled at me so loudly literally every creature in the forest tried to leave. The owls flew away along with the bats. The crickets stopped chirping. There was utter silence.

Thaddeus was panting, his eyes black. They slowly faded to blue. He seemed regretful. I scarcely had time to react before he began apologising.

“…I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Luna,” he said extending his hand. I took it. I wasn’t the scared girl I used to be.

“Did I scare you? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” he murmured with each sorry he kissed my face as he held me to him.

“You need to learn to listen, Friday,” Maze said grumpily.“Just because we can’t officially order you doesn’t mean you should automatically do your own thing. You’ve never seen a battle before and you don’t need to witness anymore. You didn’t need to see this one either.”

It was not much of a battle. It was a quick execution.

“We’re sorry we frightened you,” said Maze, softening giggled. They stared at me like I was crazy. “You didn’t frighten me!” I said smiling. “I could never be frightened of you two. You’re my guys!”

They chuckled. Maze came over to me and kissed me gently, cupping my face in his hands. He sighed rubbing his cheek against mine. Thaddeus took a deep breath.

“Friday, Maze, I’m sorry but we need to go back to the pack house,” Thaddeus said.

Maze nodded and so did I.

“That attack was unprecedented,” said Thaddeus. “They seemed to know exactly where we were and without guards. More of them could know.”

“That’s why we have absolutely novampires in Marigold!” Maze growled. “They’re not all bad,” instead Thaddeus. Thaddeus left the tent and everything up. He outed the fire and we drove back to the pack house.

“Why’d we leave the tent up? Why didn’t we dismantle it?” I asked.

“If there’s more vampires on the way, it’s not worth wasting time to salvage some pillows. It’s better to vacate the area,” Maze said.

“Also, leaving the tent up may make any more vampires investigate it, when we come back with ample warriors we’ll be able to smell if more vampires came,” Thaddeus said.

Fang’s POV

I was literally sitting in the bathroom inside the cupboard under the sink for some privacy on the Berryndale Beta Floor. Berryndale wolves were very friendly and the staff checked on me every hour or so. Astrid loved it and had told the story of announcing her pregnancy to me at breakfast and the “Alpha uncles” at the Movies about a dozen times. Each time the reaction was melodramatic. The Berryndale wolves loved storytelling and they drank a lot more than Marigold wolves so there was always a feast-like atmosphere in the pack house. They were fierce warriors though in all fairness.

“So he blew their cover?” I whispered.

“Yeah, Thaddeus and Maze came out and decapitated the novice vampires with their bare hands,” said Katrina, clearly shaken by Ezra’s recounting of the tale.

“Yeah,” | mumbled, trying to not sound relieved because I remembered how angry she was before when I did not care about the novice vampires.

“These two particular novices were awful, arrogant perverts,” she said. Oh good. “See!Everything is working out,” I whispered. “FANG!” Astrid called from the bedroom. “Where are you?” “S**t!”I whispered. Katrina grumbled. Astrid came into the bathroom. “Fang?”

I could not crawl out from the cupboard under the sink with a cellphone in hand. The questioning that would result from that would be too intense. I waited for her to go back into the bedroom.

“Bye!” I said, hanging up on Katrina.

They turned people into animals all the time! Of course, I could already turn myself into an animal but that was different! What if I got stuck in my wolf form forever? That happened to someone my mother said her mother had known and they lived out their entire life as a wolf! Thaddeus said that story was bullshit. It probably was but it was still possible.
