100: Save your Alpha.
**Bane pov**
After the monster was done beating on Killian, he didn’t shy away from kicking the bleeding body once more and even spat on him.
“Fucking maggot,” he hissed and stomped away.
From the corner of my eye, I could see some of Killian’s men hiding around the tree lines - watching and hiding just to keep out of his way.
That, I had an actual issue with. Regardless of how strong, scary or even unstoppable the enemy was, Killian’s men had to stand by him.
They just had to.
It was enough that I was too weak to fight this and stop the monster before he went too far, but those men who hid away, they were cowards. The fucking embodiment of cowards and nothing more.
I kept trying to even my breathing as I watched through his eyes as he stomped up the hill.
He kept sniffing the air, clearly seeking out Aife’s scent, but he never let me close enough to catch even a whiff of it.
Truth be told, I was both dying to smell her scent at least once more and dreaded it.
If it was around, at least I would know she was alive, but also, it would give him a clear indication of where she was.
And if he found her, I feared I could do nothing to help her escape. Not in the state I was in right now, at least.
“Stop whining, the sound of your thoughts is getting on my nerves,” the monster snapped at me while his beast only headed forward like some machine.
I let out a bitter chuckle and shook my head. “Stop listening to my thoughts then.”
That made him laugh - a loud and awfully scratchy sound. Worse than nails on the chalkboard. “As if. You fool, there is no way you will ever trick me into not listening to your thoughts. Every secret you might try to keep is mine and mine only - don’t forget that.”
I gritted my teeth to stop myself from saying something that I could regret later on. Okay, there was no fucking way in hell I would ever regrett getting under his skin, yes. However, my words could lead to consequences I didn’t want to witness.
“Good dog,” he mused. “Finally all quiet and nice, just like I prefer you to be. Ah, gotta love having the big bad Alpha hide away with his tail tucked between his legs. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.” He mocked me.
Like I did most of the time, now too, I ignored his stupid words.
If I could, I would punch him in the throat, rip off his dick and feed it to the fucker, but while I couldn’t, silence would do.
“Ha, as if. Do you really think an entity such as myself would ever be worried about mortal body parts? Please, I’m a man, but that’s where it ends,” the monster explained.
I listened, only partly, mainly because I could see, through his eyes, a silhouette of what looked like a small house higher up in the mountain.
My new problem was that the beast was heading straight towards it.
Suddenly, the only thoughts that circled in my mind were a couple of words, repeating on a loop. “Please don’t be there, please don’t be there, please, Goddess, don’t let her be there.”
Unsurprisingly, the monster laughed at me again, but I had no time to acknowledge that. I was too focused on the cabin ahead and the fact that I thought I caught her scent.
It could’ve been a moment of some sort of placebo - my mind playing tricks on me, but I truly feared that it wasn’t.
As the beast stomped closer, the fear only intensified because this close up, it was there - her scent.
He found Aife.
“No!” I screamed at the top of my lungs and started thrashing against mental barriers.
The laughter around me became louder as I kept banging, hitting and kicking.
“You fool-” he started, probably ready to hit me with another deragoraty line, but the words died in his throat as a sound of crack echoed around me.
It was faint, I would even say barely there, but also enough to stop him in his tracks.
“What are you doing?” He asked, voice growing more panicked and less confident, but instead of replying, I kept kicking with more strength.
Although in this situation, I was nothing but a mere presence, locked in my own body, I could still fight back.
And best of all - he didn’t like it. Not one bit.
“What are you doing, damn it? Stop it, right this instant, I command you to stop it!” The monster growled, but I didn’t listen.
I was too far gone with anger, resentment and fear to listen anymore, and the beast was too close to the woman I loved for me to ever stop fighting against him.
If it came to it, I would rather die than let any of these fuckers to touch a hair on her head.
“Stop!” He screamed at me again, but I only kept going.
It was dark here, I couldn’t see anything around me, but I was sure that if I had any form of body in here, my knuckles were already covered in my own blood with the force I used to slam my fists against the barrier.
Another crack echoed around me and I grinned, exhausted, out of my mind terrified, but still going.
The monster’s voice faded in the background as he kept screaming at me like that would stop me at all.
I didn’t hear his voice anymore, and didn’t care to stop and listen. My vision turned into a tunnel and the only goal I had was to break out.
And eventually, I did. Sort of, at least. I knew I surfaced the moment I felt the knees hit the heavy snow and a pained sound left my lips.
The voice wasn’t mine, but it wasn’t the monster either. Somehow, I took control of the beast’s body, not my own.
I glanced around and then back over my shoulder. Some of Killian’s men had followed the beast here.
“Go,” I choked out in that disgusting, rotting voice. “Go save your Alpha, I’ll keep him down even if I have to slit my own throat to rid her of the monster following in her tracks.”
