Chapter 74
HECTOR POV
I started to feel weak. The poison is killing me. I lost so much blood. Even in pain, all I can think is my mate. I need to make sure that she was alright. Lucas was able to imprint wounds in all other alphas, including Enrico.
Horror filled my senses when I saw my uncle Emmanuel dragging my mate. She was just human and helpless. She can't do anything, I need to save her. But the pain is tormenting my body. I can't even stand or move.
My chest tightened. I can't believe my uncle just betrayed me. He worked for Lucas, he was the one the bastard was referring to. I thought my uncle was on my side. Why did he do this?
Luna looked at me. I could see how worried she was. If only I could run towards her to calm her down.
I hate the way Lucas was looking at my mate. I want to pull out his eyes.
My uncle pulled Luna towards Lucas. I felt anger rise within me. This is a painful betrayal.
My hands balled into fists as I saw Lucas trying to get closer to my mate, so much closer eliminating the distance between the two of them. The bastard was teasing me.
Lucas called his wolves and in an instant, they attacked my uncle. He was a demon. He can never fulfill a promise. My uncle is now dead.
I saw Luna distant herself from Lucas. She looked around, as Lucas celebrated, claiming he just won this war.
From the distance, our allied wolves are prepared. I know they will attack soon.
I looked back at my mate. My vision was a little blurry but I can still see her face clearly. Her expression changed. This was the first time I saw her this way. There was something in her. A change that I didn't notice earlier when I saw her again in the camp. I felt Enrico crawling beside me.
I pity him. He has a deep wound but he still managed to come closer to me.
"Hector, trust my daughter. She knows what to do. We will win this war," he said.
I was stunned by his words.
"Wait, what? Daughter? You said, daughter?" I think I heard it right. He called Luna his daughter.
"Yes Hector, she's my daughter," he continued.
I can't believe what I just learned.
I turned to look at my mate again. Her eyes were focused on Lucas.
I saw with my two eyes how her eyes changed. Her eyes turned blue.
Her fingers changed into claws. Then in just a wink of an eye, she shift into a wolf form and lunged toward Lucas. They both rolled.
I saw how she penetrated Lucas using her sharp teeth and the bastard's left arm was now filled with blood. It took time for Lucas to shift because he didn't expect that Luna can shift into a werewolf.
I saw everyone from our side attacking the enemies. They were too brave.
I tried to move my body, but it was painful. I need to help my mate.
My cousin Ryan came carrying his bag and a vial.
"Ryan, you came,"
He was panting.
"Yes, Hector. As always, I'm here to rescue you. Thanks to Jasmine, she helped me arrive here safe,"
Jasmine was on his side. My cousin didn't waste any time. He immediately injected the vaccine into my arm.
"This was the vaccine I created weeks ago. I mixed Luna's pure blood and medicine that could heal a wound caused by silver. I am glad I was able to keep Luna's pure blood. I got those blood 8 months ago," he explained.
I felt a pinch of pain as Ryan injected the medicine. But the moment the medicine runs into my vein, I felt a different kind of sensation. I felt strength. The wound felt like it wasn't there.
I stood up as I inhale the air. My wolf was back and I shift.
Lucas managed to bite Luna in her arm, both of them were wounded. My mate and her wolf can fight well but it wasn't enough to take the bastard down.
Lucas was about to sink his teeth into her neck when I leap towards him and we both crashed to the ground. He was still strong. Luna stood up and helped me attack Lucas. Our wolves were working together. I aim for Lucas' neck as Luna pushed him down. I was able to bite his neck but it wasn't deep. He was able to fight back before I penetrated his neck.
He pushed us away and my mate flew meters away. Her wolf was hurt. I run to check on her.
"Baby, are you alright," her blue eyes stared at me. She was such a beautiful wolf. She was beautiful whatever form she will have.
"I'm fine, Hector. I'm happy to see you Ok," she responds.
She stood up and Lucas was back on his feet.
I and Luna stood side by side.
"My queen, fight with me, let's end and win this war together," I told her.
Her wolf nodded in approval.
We jumped towards Lucas, two against one.
He fell to the ground. Luna aimed for his eyes and it distracted him. Lucas howled in pain as his one eye was damaged. His face looks like a demon as anger rages inside him.
The fight around us continued. More and more wolves are dying. The rogues are like a piece of shit scattered everywhere.
Lucas attacked us again exposing his claws. One of his claws has silver. That was the one he used to hurt me earlier. We avoided his attack.
Three rogues blocked my way, and I have no choice but to kill them. Two other rogues attacked me and I had difficulty bringing them down at once.
I used my force to push them away and then take this opportunity to slash their skin.
I tried to help my mate, Lucas was trying to kill her. She can fight back but Lucas was bigger than her.
Two more enemies lunged for me and I managed to break their necks in an instant.
I run towards my mate and Lucas but I was too late. Lucas managed to bite her neck and she fell down to the ground in pain. I was angry and all I saw was red. I leaped towards Lucas and ripped off his throat with the last strength I have. He was still moving so I used my canine to tear him into pieces. I started with his neck. Separating his head from his body. I howl as my mortal enemy falls down lifeless.
Everyone looked at me. The rogues began to escape when they saw that their master was dead. Now his armies were left behind. My allies worked together to finish the remaining enemies. All I can hear were howls of pain and anger. Finally, freedom is ours.
I turned to see my mate. She shifts back to her human form. I also shift back to my human form to hug her. She was lying down and blood was all over her body.
She was weaker and I can sense that she was not in a good condition.
"Luna, stay with me. Be a strong baby. We will heal you," I told her.
She can't even speak. She just stared at me as her eyes glistens with tears.
"I love you, Hector. I love you forever," she told me.
She turned pale and her body went limp.
"Luna, I love you too. Please hold on. I will call Ryan. He can help us," I felt the tears falling from my eyes.
"I'm happy to see you again. Finally, we made it to Hector. We defeated Lucas," her voice sounds weak.
She touched my face. I can feel the warmth of her hands.
"I hope I can spend the rest of my life with you, Hector. You and me with our children in the future," she continued.
There was so much blood on her neck. Her wound was deep.
This was the first time I felt scared this way. I don't want to lose her. I can't live without her.
"Luna, nothing bad will happen to you. Stay with me," I touched her face. She has powerful blood, but can this blood save her?
She smiled at me. Her eyes were gorgeous and full of love.
She slowly closed her eyes. I shook my head.
"No...No...!”
Her hands fell and my whole world stopped.
