Dangerous Desires Novel

Chapter 57

57 Nine Hours

We arrived at the scene, and the battle was intense. My father immediately organised the troops, and we parted ways to join our assigned groups. Mike was on my team, and we were undressing to shift and join the battle. The attackers had indeed used guns, but they could not keep up with the assault. 

“Why is this battle still on?” I linked Mike. 

“They have had reinforcements coming from other places, so Grey‘s effort on the shore is futile. It is as if they anticipated we would guard the shore. I believe they had come to Woodclaw in batches and settled in various places. All the packs on the island have troops here 

to fight them back, but the attackers‘ reinforcements keep coming.” He said, and I nodded. 

“Were you able to interrogate a captive?” I asked, and he shook his head. “Wolfsbane. They bite the poison once they are caught. We are better off killing them,” he explained, and I wondered what could be so serious that these people would want to die like this. There was only one way to leave here alive: to kill them all, taking no prisoners. I linked my father and Caleb to link their groups to forget about taking prisoners and killing the 

enemy. My mark burned bright orange, and it made all the marks on all our wolves glow with the same colour. Even wolves, not directly our pack members but from packs on our island, had a secondary mark like mine glow brightly on their wolves. I did not know how I did it, but it happened. Now everyone had the same symbol as the one on my upper right arm glowing on their foreheads either as their primary or secondary mark. The demarcation was clear, and we knew who was on our side and against us. 

“How did you do this, Luke?” my father asked, and I did not know. I took off my clothes and shifted. My mark burned and glowed on my arm, which singled me out as the pack‘s Alpha. We charge to kill any wolf that did not have our mark. The night had favoured us. Who would have guessed this was possible. 

Four hours into the fight, the enemy stopped having reinforcements, and we were able to kill them all. Some of our wolves were injured, but other than the ones killed with guns, the rest were alright. I howled at the moon to show my respect to the goddess and commend our soldiers. They howled along with us. Our marks stopped glowing when the battle ended, and my arm stopped burning. I noticed wolves from other packs on the island who had my mark as their secondary mark no longer had it. I guess we were united as one for the duration of the fight only. Caleb came to find me; he had shifted back to his human f
