Chapter 51 Power Transfer

1 month later

"No dad! I have a few months left, then I can do it" Noah told his dad.

Dan sighed "Noah, I can't do this without your mother. As Alpha I can transfer the title over to you and Wyatt early. And because Wyatt is still marked by Clara and her by him, that would automatically make her our Luna regardless of age."

Wyatt perked up a bit upon hearing that. "So she would feel the new transfer surge through her even though she isn't here?"

Dan nodded his head. "I believe she would. Hopefully it'll stop the killing spree she's been on for the last month, the human authorities are getting suspicious because she's going after the hunters."

"They deserve it" Noah mumbled.

Dan growled lowly. "I know they do. But she's drawing attention to us."

Noah stood up "when?" he asked with a sigh.

"We can do it now, the pack is still mourning so hosting a celebration isn't what they need right now. We'll do that on your birthday." Dan told him standing up and pulling out his knife.

Noah nodded and took the knife from him. He cut into his hand then handed it to Wyatt who did the same. When they were done the boys clasped their hands together.

"Do you both promise to take care of this pack like a family would?"

"We do"

"Do you promise to feed and nourish your pack members the way parents would a child if needed?"

"We would" the smiled widely thinking of their daughter.

"Do you both promise to protect your pack members against enemies no matter who is what they are?"

"We do"

"Do you promise to die for your pack if an enemy has you outnumbered?"

"We do" the boys growled, remembering the night Noah did die.

"Do you Noah Evans and Wyatt Niichols vow to take the role of Alpha to The Jewel Pack from me, Alpha Dan Evans your current and present Alpha?"

"We do"

Dan smiled proudly "Then as your Alpha, I hereby transfer my power as Alpha, over to both of you!"

Both Wyatt and Noah gasped at the surge in power that coursed through them.

They had to block the pack link due to the pack asking why their was a new Alpha so soon.

As it began to dissipate Wyatt felt a seering pain shoot through his abdomen causing him to fall to a knee.

Dan instantly was at his side "What is it, what's wrong?" he thought he had done something wrong durring the power transfer.

Wyatt shook his head "It isn't me...it's Clara. She's hurt." he said panting.

He hasn't felt anything from her since Noah died, she's had him blocked off from everything.

But I guess him and her becoming the new Alpha and Luna reinforced their connection somehow? He wasn't sure.

Wyatt groaned when he felt another sharp pain hit him in his upper ribcage.

Noah was helping him stand up when a draft of wind and the scent of vanilla made him turn around.

"You distracted me" Clara mumbled.

She was holding her stomach tightly with both hands, they were coated in blood and there was a knife just under her right brest making it hard for her to breath.

The hunter caught her by surprise while she was shopping for supplies, he stabbed her quickly with wolfsbane and then proceeded to stab her with the silver dagger.

Dan seen her falling and quickly ran over and caught her before she could hit the floor.

She was burning up, and pale but what worried him was the knife wound she had received.

"Call doc we need to get this removed and have her treated for silver poisoning." Dan told the boys as they stood there dumbfounded, almost like they were in shock that she was here.

"One of you call, John!" Dan snapped.

Wyatt shook his shock off and nodded his head rushing out of the room.

"He gave me wolfsbane," she coughed, a few drops of blood slipping out of her mouth.

Dan pushed her hair back from her face and smiled. "You're gonna be alright. Doc is on his way."

About 10 minutes later Wyatt came rushing back into the room with John and two nurses in tow.

She was still awake but just barely. "How many marks does she carry?" John asked.

"Just mine. Noah's disappeared when he died briefly." Wyatt answered. Why did that matter?

John nodded kneeling down. "Clara honey, I'm gonna remove this. It's gonna sting a bit."

Clara opened her eyes and smiled tiredly at the doctor.

She was holding Alpha Dan's hand, she knew there was atleast three maybe four others in the room as well but her vision was blurry and she couldn't make them out.

"Once I remove this, I need you to allow him to mark you again!" John said pointing to Noah.

"Who?" she asked him weakly her breathing hitching. I think the hunter nicked a lung, because it was becoming harder to breathe, and John noticed that.

"Noah, Clara. He needs to mark you again ...it will help you heal faster." he explained.

Clara shook her head "Noah is dead, he can't mark me again. No matter how many times I've dreamed about it, he can't." She said her eyes remaining closed.

She felt a sudden coldness rush over her and a shiver ran down her spine. Clara felt like she was floating as darkness began to take over her, and she gladly welcomed it.

John sighed and took the blade out then moved "now Noah..."

"But she passed out. She never said yes." Noah argued kneeling down regardless.

"That's because she can't feel you anymore, you mark her it'll kick start that bond again, son!" Dan told him placing his hand on his shoulder..

Noah closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her lips then moved to her neck.

Kane was becoming antsy in his head as his canines elongated and grazed along her skin. He missed talking to Clary, and he knew she missed him dearly.

As Noah bit down a gasp left her and her hand shot up to his chest to push him away, but Noah didn't move, he just bit down harder pushing past the muscles in her neck and shoulder.

When he hit bone he growled lightly feeling the tether snap into place, the hand she had on his chest had bunched his shirt into her fist.

When he pulled back and sealed the mark, he reached up to to brush away a single tear that escaped her closed eye.

Her breath was shallow, and the grip on him loosened.

"Angel?" Noah said suddenly when her head turned away from him. "Baby answer me?"

"Noah, she just needs blood. Let us take her. Her wounds will heal fasternow, even with the poison in her bloodstream." John said as he motioned for the nurses to get the stretcher from the hall.

Reluctant as he was Noah moved out of the way as he watched them work.

**********

Chase ran down the corridor of the hospital, he was visiting Brandon when Alpha Dan called him and told him what happened.

The transfer of power and everything.

How Noah and Wyatt were now the Alpha's and how his baby sister was now the Luna.

How she showed up a minute later hurt.

He hung up after that, and ran here in his wolf form. His wolf was just as worried as he was.

When he seen Wyatt he made a beeline for him. "What the fuck happened, Wyatt?" Chase yelled.

Wyatt turned around not expecting to hear someone to yell at him, when he seen it was Chase his gaze softened.

"As far as I know, a hunter attacked her. Gave her wolfsbane and stabbed her with a silver dagger." he explained.

"When we did the transfer it must have caught her off guard or she could've gotten away with just the wolfsbane in her system."

"So she's awake?" Chase asked trying to stem his amger.

"She was, she told doc all this when she got here. She lost alot of blood and passed out again." Wyatt told him.

Chase looked over his shoulder and his eyes pricked with tears. He moved past him and opened the door, the oxygen mask and the cords hooked up to her brought back so many memories from from all those months ago.

Chase pulled a chair and brought it closer to the bed and sat down, he reached up and grabbed her hand in his and smiled lightly.

Her fingers squeezed his hand softly and he looked up his smile getting slightly bigger when he seen her eyes flutter open.

Clara looked around confused, where the hell was she?

She looked to her right and seen a very familiar face, she reached up and moved the mask down.

"Chase?" she rasped out.

"You are in so much trouble." Chase told her teasingly. He wasn't letting her leave him ever again.

He reached up and put the mask back on her face. "Keep that on please" he begged. He watched her slowly nod and close her eyes again.

Chase turned when he heard the door open again revealing both Noah and Wyatt, he shook his head and heard one of them sigh.

"What did doc say?" Chase asked while still holding her hand in his, he didn't want to let it go.

"She's healing faster than he's ever seen her heal before. But the poison and the silver is the reason she's still asleep." Noah said leaning against the wall, as he looked at her face he noticed a light scar under her left eye.

But you wouldn't see it of you weren't looking for it. What the hell has she gotten herself into since she's been gone?

"He also said that she had several mended bones. I don't understand how I was only able to feel those injuries and not the others!" Wyatt said scratching his head.

"The silver..."

The boys all loked to the groggy voice laying on the bed.

Clara moved the mask once again "I've become pretty good at blocking you out Wyatt. But it drained my energy to keep the block up, and they knew that. But it shouldn't have in the first place so it was confusing."

"When I entered the market, I was letting Clary sleep so I was basically human. When I felt the needle then the wolfsbane I knew they found me." she took a deep breath of air from the mask before continuing.

"But before I could run I felt this surge of energy and power that dropped me, that's when he stabbed me. So I removed the knife and returned the favor, but he had another and stabbed me again."

Clara finally opened her tired eyes. "I had no choice but to teleport away. So came here, because let's be honest... no other pack wants the one who is out killing other wolfs for the 'fun' of it." she kept up with what the council has her painted as.

A menace to wolf society.

"There was a reason behind it though. And we've told all of them why, Clara!" Chase stated.

"They would've taken you in if you had showed up, they don't believe what the council is doing. Some of the other Alpha's have even asked a few covens to look into replacing them with new members." Wyatt finished.

Guilty conscience probably she thought to herself. She shook her head and adjusted herself in the bed more.

Her eyes pipped opened when a certain scent hit her, it wasn't Chase and yes it was damn near identical to Wyatts but a little stronger.

"Who is that behind you, Wyatt?" Clara asked trying to peer around him, but couldn't see anything due to his huge frame.

Wyatt looked over his shoulder just as Noah pushed himself off the wall, he moved aside and he heard her heartbeat pick up and her breathing nearly come to a stop when her eyes met his.
