Alpha Blake

Chapter 67 Bitter Soul-1

Damian stands before them with anger and frustration in every inch of his body.

He glares between everyone, unwilling to consider with their happy reunion and give way to the

end of this battle.

He made his mate a promise. And until he sees it for himself, he will not believe in any word they

say. Assuring himself that the promise he made Emma has to stand. He will end Selene's life. Over and

over again. Until he takes his last breath.

Through the notion of Blake running to Selene, he dropped Selene's katana on the floor.

He looks over towards Blake, noticing his dagger still tucked in on his back. He recalls the night he

had it made. He had gone with Him to make it. Ironically made with the same materials and magic

Selene's katana was made from, plus the enchantment specially performed by a great wizard friend of

theirs.

He remembers that dagger from the last time they had this same encounter. It's easy to say that

most of the time, vampires and werewolves will heal easily and will not be left with scars; but the last

time they fought, Blake had cut him across his shoulder with that same dagger, and he still had a great

scar to remember him by.

He slowly grabs the katana, taking advantage that everyone has their eyes on both Blake and

Selene. But Tyler stops him, making him drop it on the ground.

"Just what the hell do you think you doing Dylan? Remember, you and I stopped being buddies a

long long time ago. So don't try and get me to stop, because I won't think twice about ending your life

as well."

Tyler, though he can't get used to being called by his old name, softens his expression. "I may not

remember everything about our friendship. But I do know I can't let you hurt my sister. I get it! I lost my

mate too. It hurts a lot. But you heard them. Emma is alive! You can look for her and give yourselves a

second chance to be together."

"I won't believe it. Why now? After thousands of years of not having her by my side, you expect me

to believe she's still alive? Why? Why should I believe any of you?" Everyone's head turns to look at

them. They all feel confused and turmoil by the events that have happened.

Rebecca comes close to them and places her hand on both of their shoulders.

"Enough! I've had enough of all of you fighting." She pleads with them to calm down.

"Damian. Harou is telling you the truth. It was Carrie all along. She was the mastermind between

all that has happened to all of you. She was the one that killed Emma. And I can prove it."

"How? How will you prove to me that Selene is innocent? You can't and you know why?" He glares

angrily at Rebecca, coming so close, Rebecca takes back a step to be able to meet his eyes.

"Because I saw her that night. I saw the blood in her hands. She stood next to Emma, there was

no one there but her and Alarick with my Emma. She's going to pay, and she will keep paying for her

death each time I see her again. Unlike them, Emma is gone. I will no longer be able to hold her in my

arms. Alarick and her will pay for the death of my wife, one way, or another."

Rebecca stops him on his track as he made his way towards them. Using her goddess-given gifts

bestowed upon her from Artemis herself to protect Selene and her brother. She freezes him on spot.

Sighing and closing her eyes as she slowly comes to stand before him.

"It's time you all knew the truth. And I believe I must come clean to you all as well."

She makes them all gather around, ordering Blake's pack, and Damian's clan to stop fighting, and

makes Damian standstill, his face heats with fury as he finds himself immobile.

"I need all of you to stop. This whole war between these two amazing groups, that have surpassed

every clan, every pack in all existence. Imagine! You guys are the mightiest, the most powerful, more

powerful than the wolf king himself! Imagine, how much more fierce and powerful you could be, if you

just stopped fighting each other? You'd rule the world entirely! You could rule all of existence. But your

hatred towards each other has blinded you. It's blinded you with rage and fury that should have never

happened. "

She looks at Selene. Holding her hands slowly and caresses her cheek slowly with her left hand.

"Sweetheart. You are a great woman you know that? Your mother Artemis and I are equally proud of

you! You have no idea how grateful and how privileged I have felt looking after you this time around. I

love you so much, my dear girl."

She walks towards Carrie's lifeless body and kneels down by her body. Turning it slightly, she tugs

away the crystal around her neck and glances over it. She stands and walks back to them. Stopping in

the middle as she begins to write on the floor and sprinkles what looks like an enchanted oil.

"This crystal that Carrie had around her. Do you know where it came from Damian?" He looks at

her confused and nods in affirmation that he has no clue where it came from.

She chuckles and grips it tight around her hand, and extends her hand to allow everyone to see it.

"Selene. James, Caleb. Do you guys remember that small town you last attacked?" She looks at

them, and they exchange looks knowing exactly what she is talking about.

"Selene, do you remember telling me that you felt something strange when you were ordered by

Colonel Coelhelm to attack that village? You said that there was no threat there. That, there was

nothing but humans. Right?"

She glances over towards the crowd. She knows somewhere in between them, Joseph is cowardly

hiding. Just like he always does.

"But that's not true is it, Joseph?" She yells out. Making everyone begin to murmur between them. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"That village belonged to the last of the descendants of the Phoenix lineage. The real reason why

Colonel Coelhelm called the attack, was because that village was where Emma was hiding out. But she

wasn't there when you got there. Which was why you couldn't sense her there when you arrived,

Damian. She has been hiding there from Carrie for the past fifty-eight years. It wasn't until a few weeks

before you attacked that village when they found out where she was." Damian looks at her with the

shock of his life in his eyes. Could she really be there? Why did he not see this coming?

"You're lying. She couldn't have been hiding there. I would have known. I could have sensed it."

"The reason you didn't sense her was that she has been practicing what her other ancestors

taught her. MAGIC. She could have used magic to hide her scent from everyone." She walks close to

him and grabs his arm slightly.
