Chapter 71 – He Was Hurt
JOHN’S POV
“Hahaha, can you feel the pain Cassius? How does it feel like seeing your best man getting hurt? You do have loyal people around you who saved your precious life” I heard Demon’s sarcastic laugh. He was tackled by Cassius and was lying on the floor yet there was a smug look on his face. Cassius threw a hard punch on his face.
“Who are you talking to, you bastard ? A scum like you who can kill his own mate doesn’t have the right to ask such a question. You say you are here for avenging your brother? Do you even know how to love someone? You killed your own father, your hand is already stained with innocent blood. But I won’t let you go this time. You fucker you are fucking gonna pay for everything” Cassius roared and started to beat him severely. “Since you love your brother so much, I send you where he is now” Cassius roared and grabbed his neck.
“Stop him” someone from the enemy group shouted at his top lung. “save the Alpha. We need to save him”
I gritted my teeth when I saw a group of enemies were charging towards Cassius. I clenched my fist and tried to pull myself up. But the pain in my body repeatedly failed my attempt. The claws that Demon used to attack were not ordinary ones. I guess it was poisoned. That bastard really used his vicious means. I have to help Cassius or he will be in trouble. But how? My body is not giving me any strength.
I dragged my body towards him. My wolf growled in disapproval. “Fuck” I groaned out. “Cassius watch your back” I yelled.
Few men jumped towards him but before they could get their hands on him another group stopped them in the middle.
“I just went for some time yet you all started to mess around. ” Hardwick jumped out and gestured to his man. Those who came to attack were finally pulled away. Hardwick held back Cassius “I told you to leave a few pieces for me. Are you going to devour him all to yourself? That’s not fair” he pushed Cassius away and grabbed Demon by his neck. “I heard you are too smart to get caught but your over smartness has pulled you down to this situation”
“Huh, do you think it’s the end?” Demon let out a laugh. His face was bloody but his face was still showing the arrogance of evilness. “My men had already surrounded the whole area. Don’t think you will get any advantage from it. Even if you kill me right now, Silver Shine is fated to be doomed”
“You really know how to joke,” Cassius said, glaring at him. “You are not the only one who eats food and drinks water. If you think you have gotten hold of the situation then you are underestimating us. Don’t you know never underestimate your enemy even if he is a fool?”
Demon glared back “don’t be too happy Cassius. My men had already destroyed your security system and I guess your men were dead by now. Do you think you can compare your few moves with our underground technique?”
“Who said we have the desire to do so?” Hardwick asked. “You guys like to hide underground because all of you are too cowardly to attack from the front. A backstabber like you don’t get the right to talk about pride here. We are real men who know how to fight face to face. You still hold onto your underground technique and think you can beat us? Have you ever thought, how ridiculous that sounds?”
“You-” Demon didn’t get the chance as Hardwick threw a hard punch on his face making him fall on the ground and had him groaning in pain.
“You can’t beat us, my men had-” Demon started again.
“You mean this bunch of fools” another male voice sounded. I turned my head to see Devak walking towards us. He dragged dead bodies along with him which were tied together. “I must say they really put on a good show of fighting. But you should know your men are skilled more in hiding under the ground. Once they are out of shell, they are just comparable to neophytes”
“Bastards today will be the end of your everything” Demon suddenly roared and shifted into his gray wolf form.
“Humph you think you have gotten all power here you asshole” Cassius roared out and shifted into his Reddish brown wolf. His wolf looked majestic and strong. He let out a growl and released his killing aura. He jumped on Demon and their fierce battle started again.
“Are you a fine man?” Devak pulled me up. I hissed when I felt my wounds were touched. Fuck the pain was severe.
“Oops it was a mistake” Devak said as he observed my wound “it’s turning black. Man you need to get checked by doctor. I don’t think it’s a normal attack. If it was a poison then your body couldn’t withstand for long.
“I know,” I nodded.
“Take him back to the pack house. The battle is almost over. All the members of Hell Hound are dead already leaving only Demon. And I don’t think Demon has a long time left to live anyway. I will clear everything here then head back” Hardwick yelled and changed into his wolf before joining Cassius.
“Let’s go!” Devak pulled me.
“Wait, what if they need our help?” I asked.
Devak looked towards the place where they were fighting “it doesn’t seem like they need us anymore. Now let’s go”
REESE’S POV
I paced around the room anxiously. I couldn’t go out nor could I get any news of what’s happening outside. All I could hear was the loud commotions which suddenly stopped too. I looked towards the door again. This waiting is about to kill me. What am I going to do now?
“Luna?” A manly voice echoed and my head snapped around to see the source. A man ran inside and looked around. “Are you all alright?” He looked panicked and panted slightly.
“Jaxson, what’s happening outside?” Adriana walked forward asking the question.
“Demon has already surrounded us and is now fighting with Alpha. Though most of the enemies are cleared, we still have to be cautious. I was sent by Alpha to see everything is fine here. He got anxious when he heard the pack house was under attack”
“We are all fine. Fortunately we could fight them in time and save ourselves. You said Demon and Cassius are fighting?” Adrian frowned.
Jaxson nodded “yes, Demon was already beaten by Alpha. I guess it will be the last battle they are fighting. I would have come faster if I was not surrounded by the enemy party. I guess they will return soon”
“I just hope Cassius could kill the Demon for good” Adriana sighed “that Satan is creating troubles in our peaceful life making us worried sick. Are all the enemies caught?”
“To be honest those who showed up were all dead. Alpha Devak handled the outer security system and put all the enemies under the ground while Alpha Hardwick cleared the backyard. Everything is clean now. The last thing I saw was Alpha and Demon fighting in their wolf form before I head back here”
He is only talking about Alpha and others. What about Azrael? I got really anxious this time. Has something happened to him and he was not willing to tell me that? I stepped forward. I couldn’t wait anymore.
“What about Azrael? Is he okay?” I frowned at him.
Jaxson looked at me “well John that….” Before he could finish, the door of the hall opened again. A loud gasp left my mouth when I saw the scene. My heart almost screamed at the scene. It was like my chest was tightening against my skin.
“Azrael” I called out and ran towards him. His shoulder was bleeding and his clothes were shocked in blood. My heartbeat raised instantly. “What happened to you? Why are you like this?” I touched his arm.
He smiled weakly “I am fine, don’t worry”
“How can you?” My eyes brimmed with tears now. He was already this hurt yet he was comforting me?This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Call Turner here fast” Adriana told and Jaxson nodded swiftly before disappearing from the room.
“Let’s settle him on the couch first” Alpha Devak helped Azrael to sit on the couch. I sat beside him holding his arm.
“It must be too painful,” I said, biting my lips trying to hold the sovs that were threatening to come out.
“How did this happen?” Tanea asked as she stepped closer to her mate.
“It was Demon himself. Originally the attack was for Cassius. He wanted to kill him in one single attack but John saw him and blocked the attack by himself. I was returning back when I witnessed this scene” Alpha Devak explained. “but I guess the iron claws Demon used were not ordinary ones. He might have used some poison in it. See the wound is turning black”
My gaze fell on the black wound on his shoulder. He was right. That Demon is too vicious to explain with words. I clutched Azrael’s arm making him look at me. Though his expression was pale, he smiled at me. He squeezed my hand lightly.
“Don’t worry nothing will happen to me”
I just nodded my head, unable to say anything.
Turner didn’t take time to arrive. As soon as he saw Azrael he frowned slightly. Then he opened his medical box and started to treat his wound.
“How come you are hurt this badly?” He asked. “I was tending patients in the infirmary when I heard of your news. But I wasn’t expecting it to be this serious” he said as he cleaned the blood. Azrael sat there topless but his body was covered in red stains.
“How’s the wound? Is it poisonous?” Alpha Devak asked.
“It is lucky he is getting the treatment in time” Turner replied. “the attack was vicious and yes it was poisonous. The blood is also turning black. After all, no enemy would be merciful enough to let his opponent go just like that. He would definitely try to kill them. If you guys were a little late then I feared it will be hard to stop the poison spread in his blood completely” Turner pulled out a syringe which has black coloured liquid in it.
“Well, this will help you clear the poison in your body” Turner injected the syringe in Azrael’s arm. “Now we have to wait for the poison to be out of his body before we start the treatment process to heal his body”
“How will it go out?” I asked him.
Turner smiled “wait for him to puke out every last drop of poison”
And again my heart started to get anxious as my eyes fell on my mate.
