Chapter 49 – Kole’s Sudden Attack
REESE’S POV
“Wow, this place looks amazing” Tanea looked around. “Adriana, what you said is true, this place is worthy for any fight”
“I told you didn’t I?” Adriana laughed. “at first, I thought the same, well no, I still think the same. When Cassius first brought me here, I was amazed. Let me tell you, though our relationship was not strong at that time, I was glad he took the initiative to bring me here. We had a huge argument before and then he brought me here. Once my eyes landed on this place, all my anger flew away like smoke”
“Who could stay angry looking at this beautiful place?” Savannah grinned, “Ay, I am happy those men are busy with training. At least we got some free time for ourselves to enjoy. And see this…” She pointed towards the lake house, “is truth worth the wait”
“True, true. These days I really think they should engage themselves with some special training most of the time so that we can get our girls time without any interruption” Tanea nodded.
I looked at the familiar place and suddenly my heart flattered. This place has a great memory in my mind. This is where I found myself and accepted my fate. This is where I found the true meaning of my mate and our bond. I could never forget the words he said. It’s still ringing in my mind, still refreshed like an evergreen scene.
“Oh, someone is looking dazed,” someone whispered in my ear, making me jump in shock. I patted my heart glaring at Tanea.
“What are you? Don’t scare me like that” I sighed.
“Oh, come on. Tell me what you were thinking?” She threw her arm over my shoulder and wiggled her eyebrows.
“Shut it” I frowned and shook off her arms.
“Well, John brought her here too” Adriana said with a grin, “Or shall I say they had the hottest night in this lake house”
“Really?” Tanea smirked. Her face was full of teasing as she showed her teeth suddenly, “ay, that’s why you were annoyed with my question. Huh! Girl, tell me is your mate that good in bed?”
“Tanea?” Savannah, Adriana yelled at the same time. I rolled my eyes.
“What?” Tanea gave a naive look, “I was just stating the truth. Look at her, the pink stain on her cheeks are the proof of my words. Can you deny this?”
“Are you done? Are you going to stand here all day or going to enjoy the beauty of this place?” I asked. “It won’t take time for the sun to set and then even if we want to stay, I don’t think we will be able to do that”
They sighed. We all knows when our mates returns from the training, they will look for us and if they don’t find us in the pack house, they will go crazy.
“I guess it’s better to enjoy it than regret it later” Adriana walked by and set the furry rug on the grass and pulled out the stuff we brought in the basket. We all settled on the rug and had a cup of coffee in our hand.
“Last time the picnic was gloomy. All the time went with the topic of war. What we originally planned was not executed at the end” Savannah started.
“We thought we would have a little space with them. But hell it turned out more like a pack meeting” Adriana rolled her eyes. “I couldn’t wait for this Demon to rot in hell. This bastard is not letting anyone to live peacefully”
“His action reminds me of Avan,” Tanea said. She sipped her coffee. “That man was a crazy bastard. Even though he is dead, his deeds are too huge to forget. Demon is like just like him – cruel, weasel, whoreson and the list is fucking on going”
“He is a total SOB,” Savannah added. “No matter how much you curse him, it will never end”
“True, This Hell Hound has been trying to trick us all these years. But this time, I guess it will be over for once and all. I couldn’t stand this pack anymore” Adriana shook her head, “this Demon is raising scoundrels in his pack. All the members of Hell Hound Pack are blood thirsty. They are no werewolves but blood sucking beats. That Demon even killed his own mate to get himself free from any bond”
“What the hell? He killed his own mate?” Tanea frowned with confusion.
“I can’t believe my ears? So it’s true? He killed his own mate?” Savannah looked shocked.
“There are people who don’t like to have weakness and I guess Demon is one of them” I said and Adriana nodded in agreement.
“I can understand his love for power yet I couldn’t expect him to kill his mate to remove his weak point?” Savannah rolled her eyes.
“Having a mate is not having a weak point” Tanea shook her head. “mates are meant for power, strength and courage. How could he treat it like nothing?”
“As I said, he is a bastard,” Adriana replied.
“Nah, he is an arsehole” Tanea gritted her teeth.
No matter what name we use to call him, it will always be less in front of him. Demon though I never saw him before nor I ever knew of his existence, but hearing about him now, I feel, a kind of person like him doesn’t even deserve the life he is living.
“Don’t waste your breath on him. He is a rotten bug, if you go near him it will sting you with the cursed smell” I said as I took the last sip of my coffee.
“Right I really don’t want to ruin my moon with his thoughts” Adriana took a deep breath then heaved a sigh trying to relax herself.
“Okay, forget about him and let’s enjoy our time. We also need to train ourselves now. This war isn’t about our mates only” Savannah said and we nodded in agreement. She is right, it’s not about them only. We have the same contribution and we will always be ready for it.
For the rest of the day we talked about other matters and enjoyed our meal which we prepared earlier. We laughed and teased each other. When the sun set, we prepared to leave. We set all the stuff in the basket again.
“Finally, it’s time to leave now” Tanea said and she shoved the water bottles in the basket.
“It will be dark after sometime. I guess it will be better if we leave now. It’s not safe to stay outside the mansion at night” Adriana looked at the sky and suggested.
“Yeah, I am done. Let’s go” Tanea said and she picked the basket she arranged.
I folded the rug and we were about to move when we heard rustling around us. We stopped on our track and looked at eachother.
“What’s that? Did you hear?” Adriana whispered. We stayed close to each other as we looked around. I sniffed in the air.
“There’s an unfamiliar scent in the air,” Savannah whispered.
“Are we trapped?” Tanea asked.
“Maybe or maybe not. But one thing is clear, we need to fight” Adriana whispered to us. The rustle sound grew wider and out of nowhere few black clothed men jumped out of the bushes making us startled.
“Their numbers are huge” Savannah whispered, “looks like they are fully prepared. We have to be cautious”
“They are tricky, don’t fight without looking closely. Keep your eyes and ears open. Anything could happen” Adriana warned.
“They are not taking the initiative to attack,” Tanea said.
“Let me try first” Adriana moved, “what do you want?” She yelled at them.
One of the black clothed men raised his hand and pointed towards me. I was shocked. What the hell? They wanted me?
“What the hell?” Tanea yelled. “What do you think of yourself? You think you can come and take whoever you want?”
“Tsk, tsk, woman you talk too much” a man answered. He moved in front and looked at us.
“Kole” Adriana whispered with gasp.
Kole? Isn’t he the beta of the pack? I looked at him, that man has long shoulder length hair. He looked thin and didn’t have a perfectly shaped body like others. But Azrael always said not to underestimate the members of Hell Hound. They aren’t what they look on the surface.
“What are you doing here Kole?” Adriana asked.
“You don’t need to know Luna Adriana,” Kole smirked. His eyes traveled towards me, “I will get what I am here for”
“You really have a huge gut to step in my territory, Kole. Do you think you can return safely?” Adriana gritted her teeth.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Whether I return safely or not, you don’t have to worry about it. At this moment, I really don’t think you have the upper hand to show your dominance” Kole laughed, “do you think just because you are Luna, I will be scared of it?”
“If you think you can do whatever you want and I will stand at the side to watch it, then you need to double check. You will never understand the power of mates. If you had one, then maybe but since you are mateless, you will stay oblivious to it” Adriana said while Kole’s expression changed instantly.
“Shut up, who gave you the guts to say that?” Kole shouted, almost growling in anger.
“I am the Luna of this territory, do you think I need your permission to tell the truth? Do you know why you are like this now? Because your Alpha is cruel. He wants his members to be the puppet of his hand and surprisingly you all become like that. A clown jumping around whenever its master wants” Adriana’s voice was hard and stoic.
Kole seemed too angry. Her words really ignited the fire and angered him to the point of losing his sanity.
“Careful, he is going to take charge” as soon as I said, Kole roared out.
“Fuck it. Attack”
The peaceful environment shifted into the battlefield in a blink of an eye.
