The Silent Alpha

Chapter 88: Daughters of the Night 

***Natalia*** 

Devina rises to her feet and charges at Jack, sinking her canines into his hind leg and dragging him off of Vanessa.

Jack lets go of her and turns his large head towards me to retaliate but Vanessa clamps her jaws on his front paw and tears it open, blood staining her brown fur.

Jack lets out a howl of pain and I witness something that leaves me in awe of my sister.

Her shadow begins to crawl along the surface of the driveaway, spreading out like little tendrils of rope as they wrap around Jack’s shadow and hold him down in place.

Jack attempts to move but his own shadow works against him and keeps him hostage to the ground.

Seeing their Alpha under attack by an unknown force, the Omegas jump in to defend their leader, two wolves pouncing on top of me while another three rush at Vanessa.

Devina drops down and rolls over, managing to crush one of the wolves and kicking off the second.

Scrambling to her feet, Devina lunges at the second wolf, both of us upright on our hind legs as we claw and bite each other.

My wolf’s strength overpowers my opponent and I am able to push the wolf back onto her front paws and slam her head into the concrete.

Devina takes advantage and pins her down with her belly up and despite the wolf's attempt to kick me off, Devina buries her razor sharp teeth into her throat.

Blood pours into my mouth, the metallic taste making my stomach wretch.

As I finish off the second wolf, the first one jumps onto their feet and bites my tail, dragging me backwards.

Devina wastes no time howls in pain, giving Devina perfect access to her neck.

Devina latches onto their flesh and tears their throat open, blood dripping down our snout.

Panting with rage, I look up in time to see Vanessa struggling against her opponents, the three wolves attacking simultaneously to not give her any opportunity to think or attack without consequence.

They have her pinned down, her shadow grip on Jack starting to slip.

As the moon shines down on us, a cold gust of air rushes through the trees surrounding the pack house.

"Blessed be the daughters of the Night" the wind whispers as it blows through my fur and I feel a jolt of energy and strength ripple through my muscles.

Jack bucks violently against the shadows holding him down until finally, he breaks free and charges at Vanessa, pushing aside the other wolves to get to her.

You will not touch her again ' Devina growls, planting her paws on the ground.

Suddenly, a large black mist materializes from the center of my chest, growing larger and darker as it solidifies.

To my amazement, the mist takes the shape of long curling tentacles and as I lean forward to touch them, I am shocked to see them mimic the movement of my head.

What is this? Iask as more tentacles gather around me.

Darkness, Devina explains, softening her voice when she senses my fear.Do not be afraid.Darkness itself is not evil.

It is simply a lack of light.

There is beauty in it for only in the darkness can we see the Moon and stars that shine above us.

Do not fear it.

Devina seems to understand the gift well enough to control it and paws and dragging him away from Vanessa.

Imitating her imagination, some of the tentacles rush forward and grab Jack, pulling him away from my sister.

More mist radiates from my body, taking the shape of sharp spears which I aim at the remaining wolves trying to attack Vanessa.

Jack writhes and wriggles in the tentacles but the more he attempts to free himself, the more entangled he becomes.

From the corner of my eye, I see Vanessa rise to her feet and shake off her fur before limping to my side.

Jack shifts into his human form in hopes of freeing himself, but the dark mist only follows him, turning into thorny tentacles that wrap around each of his limbs so that he lays flat on his back.

The dark tentacles stretch his arms and legs in opposite directions until he resembles a starfish.

"Natalia!"

He cries in agony as the thorns tear into his flesh.

From the corner of my eye, I see several pack members hiding in the trees, all of them too afraid to step forward but curious enough to stay and watch.

They are all monsters like him  ,\ mutter to myself as Devina circles Jack like prey.

Let me face him, \tell Devina.

He Hurt me.

I need to be the one who ends this.

She gladly lets me take control and I shift back into my human so Jack can face the pathetic human who has him at her mercy.
