Forged in the Flames by Karima Sa'ad Usman

Chapter 41

I hurried out of the palace to see what was going on outside. I looked around and did not know what direction to go.

“Where is the attack?” I linked Gabriel.

“East border,” he replied, and he seemed occupied, which meant he was fighting.

“Do you have help?” I asked him.

“Israel and some other werewolves are here. I do not think they are here to catch slaves, Alpha, even though it seemed like it. They are killing my people,” he added, and I decided to move.

I linked my men at once and ordered them to move to the eastern border. I knew it was only a matter of time before they killed off the Werewolves defending the territory.

I moved quickly, knowing Aliana’s father was there. I was scared that he might get killed. I know he killed my father, but I knew his death would break Aliana’s heart. I loved her too much to allow that to happen.

I moved quickly and hoped they would hang on.

I shifted into Bane mid-way and pushed myself. I ran fast.

I needed to get there on time. I advanced and linked my men to hurry. I felt them coming, but I was far ahead.

When I got to the woods, I met a massacre. Werewolves were on the ground. Most of them had no business fighting but had to.

I saw Gabriel’s grey wolf.

I could tell he was the one because he was the only Alpha in the clearing.

I lunged at a Lycan, and it stood on its hind legs to face me, but instead of aiming to attack with my jaws, I reached with my claws and cut his throat.

He fell immediately, and I used my hands to pull off his head. I always discorporate my enemy’s body parts to stop them from healing and surviving.

I looked around and aimed for the next one. My men finally arrived in wolf form, and I was more confident.

“Fall back!” I linked the werewolves. They were wounded and bound to be tired. I did not want to lose anyone. I also did not plan on letting any hunter survive. I watched the werewolves fall back while my men advanced.

Most of my trusted warriors were there, including Ingham.

“Wipe out the intruders,” I linked my men, and they went for the kill.

Gabriel did not fall back. I noticed he was still fighting, and that annoyed me.
