The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf

Chapter 98

Alec sends his minions to spread out on the first street they enter. The Grimghouls climb onto parked

cars, rip the mirrors off and chew through the metal of the vehicles with ease. Car alarms sound, and

people run and scream. Then, the Shadow Reapers coalesce into a giant swirl of dark matter and now

beneath the vehicles, hurling them into the distance. Alec makes sure there are no humans in the cars

before they are tossed aside. Magnus shifts into his wolf and howls. All the humans watching are

terrified and film what they can with their phones before seeing, Magnus chases after some of them,

purposely running as slow as possible to allow them to escape. Police cars spread out along the street,

and the officers shoot directly at the Grimghouls and Shadow Reapers while others radio for backup.

A helicopter soars high above them. It’s from a News network.

‘Magnus,’ May mind-links. ‘We can see you on the television. They are filming it all live and announcing

the military is on its way. They are advising residents and shop owners to remain indoors and out of

sight.’

‘Perfect, as soon as the army arrives, we will draw them back to the territory of the wolf council

‘Good luck, Magnus,’ May mind-links.

More vehicles are flipped over, and street signs and poles are twisted. There is rubble from

automobiles and buildings strewn everywhere.

After many hours, the military arrived, bringing tanks, aircraft, and soldiers.

‘Stand down!’ They shout.

Thowl at them, and something unexpected happens. They move so fast, that I don’t realise what they

are until they approach Alec and me. Vampires.

They bow down to Alec, and the soldiers give each other a look as dozens more vampires approach

and bow.

‘Our king has been freed!’ A female vampire announces,

“King?’ The soldiers murmur to each other.

I am Alec, vampire King!’ Alec yells loudly with proudness,

Master, give us your command, a male vampire says.

Alec mind-links them to inform them that their queen, Nina, is in danger and that they must assist in

luring the army to the territory of the wolf council without killing the humans. They nod and disperse

across the street, just behind Alec and me

Alec and I begin to retreat, giving the humans the illusion of victory. We are pursued and followed out of

the city. Alec’s strategy has thus far been successful. Alpha Bennet walks out of his house with a

surious expression,

‘Why did you bring the humans here!?’ he yells.

Alec smiles, ‘You want the humans wiped out? Carry it out yourselfl’ Alec shouts. The jets’ bullets

ricochet through the air, narrowly missing Alec and me. Bullets have no effect on the Shadow Reapers

since they go right through their silhouettes. Hundreds of pack members of the wolf council shift into

their wolves and attack the troops. Alec assists the troops by causing the werewolves’ minds to be

taken over by the Shadow Reapers. They instantly recognise one another as soldiers rather than

werewolves. The werewolves cease attacking the troops and engage in fights with one another.

Alpha Bennet has ordered Kadva to help defend their premises. Fireballs shoot through the air towards

the jets, and the ground shakes violently at moments, causing humans to lose their footing. Soldiers

are flung through the air as a result of his abilities. Alec directs the Grimghouls towards him, where he

sees Alpha Bennet and Alpha Theaton fighting against the soldiers.

Magnus, this is the time to find Nina while they are distracted!

Magnus nods, and they hurry around the rear of the building, entering by the back entrance. They

make their way toward a stairway.

‘I can smell her scent. She must be down here,’ Magnus says.

Alec sprints down the stairwell in a blink of an eye. Magnuş hears Alpha Theaton’s gargled final gasps,

Alec has him pinned against the wall and drinks the blood from his neck

The cells are old and have a musty odour. Magnus scans the area and can see Nina unconscious in a

nearby cell.

‘Nina!’ Magnus yells.”He awkwardly grabs the key from Alpha Theatons belt og Alec continues to drain

the blood from his body He runs to the cell door, unlocks it and kneels by Nina’s side.

‘Wake up, Nina. I’m here. You’re sale now.’ Magnus says, holding Nina in his lap. Then, in an instant,

Alec is in front of me. Ao Nina stirs awake, Alec kneels and gently wipes her hair away from her face.

Alec? Magnus? She says, her eyes darting between them. She takes their hands in hers and cradles

them to her bruised loce, Taking in the overwhelming sense of sparks emanating from the bond she

feels with each of them.

‘We’re here,’ Alec smiles. Nina sits up and flings her arins around Magnus, kisses him endearingly,

then turns to Alec and jumps up, wrapping her arms around his neck. They hold each other tight.”

Outside sounds like a warzone, she murmurs.

“How did you get out of the dungeon? Oh! The humans! Please tell me you didn’ı?’

‘No, Alec hasn’t harmed the humans, Alec’s idea was to make ourselves known in the city, destroy a

few buildings, cars etc. and lure the army to Alpha Bennet. They would have no choice but to fight

against the humans, which would distract them from you. We used the opportunity to come down here

and rescue you. I’m sorry, Nina, I should have listened 18 you earlier and let Alec out when you asked,’

Magnus says.

‘You let Alec out?’ Nina says, surprised.

‘Much to Yiselda’s dismay,’ Magnus laughs.

Thank you she murmurs as she turns to Alec, who draws her into his chest and passionately kisses Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

her.

I have something for you,’ Alec says and places her wand in her hand.

‘How did you get this? Alpha Theaton took it from Kadva,’ she says.

‘Kadva?’ Magnus and Alec say in unison.

‘He is the mage you met earlier, unfortunately with a ball of fire. He is being forced to do Alpha

Bennet’s bidding. I’m sure of it.’ Nina says with assertion.

‘We need to put an end to the wolf council and Kadva and then convince the humans that we wish

them no harm,

I’m not sure how well that will work, given that we did attack and destroy their city, Alec says.

‘We have to at least try.’ Nina says as she makes her way to the stairwell. She gasps upon seeing

Alpha Theaton’s dead body with visible neck punctures.

‘Don’t look,’ Alec says. Then taking Nina’s hand, he leads her up the stairs.

They exit the building to see many dead wolves from the pack of the wolf council.

Ill apprehend Kadva, and you two concentrate on defeating Alpha Bennel and Alpha Amir, Nina says,

Magnus shifts into a wolf and sprints for Alpha Bennet, who is also in woll form. Magnus lunges and

knocks him to his side, biting his leg. Alpha Bennet leaps to his feet and savagely bites into Magnus’s

back, tearing a chunk of skin from his body. Magnus Nips Alpha Bennet over and rips his stomach

open with his claws.

May mind-links Magnus, ‘Alpha, Pandora’s Box, it’s been destroyed. There is nothing left!

‘What do you mean it’s gone?’ he mind-links back.

“Yiselda returned there to grab a few items, and the entire coven stead was up in flames. It was too late

to do anything. We soon discovered Hank nearby, attempting to flee. He was the one who started the

fire that destroyed Pandora’s Box. Yiselda was completely distraught. She killed Hank,

I’m sorry you all have lost your coven stead. Yiselda is part of our pack. Our home is always her home,

too,’ He mind-links back.

Alec fights Alpha Amir, appearing in front of him one moment and then the next moment behind Alpha

Amir, throwing swift kicks and punches. Alec’s movements are so Nuid and quick that it nearly appears

as though he is not moving at all. Alpha Amir collapses on the ground in defeat, just as a couple of

Grimghouls tackle and rip him to parts.

The soldiers are in utter disbelief and confusion as they watch the last of the werewolves killing each

other, as well as Magnus, Alec

and the vampires also killing the werewolves.

Nina is sprinting towards Kadva with her wand, Restraino Detainous. A purple wind whirls around

Kadva, lifting him off the ground and immobilising his arms and legs.

Nina approaches Kadva and removes his hood. She takes a step back and gasps in surprise at

Kadva’s appearance,
