Chapter 154: Always a step ahead

Alanis.

The moment beau falls to the ground my heart stiffens in my chest and I can’t do anything but react. The plan went south. I knew there was the possibility, but I don’t know what the fuck just happened. Cassius used mind games on him. This was not a battle, to begin with. He didn’t come here to fight him. He came here to mess with his mind. there is no other explanation.

Just seeing him in that weakened state. Seeing him on the ground makes me go haywire. Everyone is watching, no one is doing anything. There are a couple of things that I am certain of. Cassius attacked the Greenspring pack while they were here. He knew what he was doing coming here.

As usual, he was one step ahead of us.

We knew there was the possibility, but I didn’t see things turning out this way. I thought we were actually going to win this time. In just a blink of an eye, Cassius blocks my attack which pushes me to the ground. My eyes look at Beau, he is still breathing. I can feel him, so right now, I need to take Cassius out. That is the priority.

I get up on my feet and just above him, I see the people he was supposed to come with. the part of the plan that we thought we would face. fighting with all the vampires that are with Cassius. They are like a herd of cows ready for their meal. I look at them, one by one, taking in all their scents. I can feel the desperation in their eyes. the pain that it is taking them to do this. my eyes catch Bade in a corner. There is an apologetic expression on his face. I know this is not on him, from the expression on his face.

I am not blaming him.

This is what we were expecting. We knew there would be a battle, but we all expected Beau to be awake for this. he is supposed to be the leader.

’’How will you all feel right now when I kill you Alpha? the leader you all look up to?’’ Cassius uses the top of his lungs to pass across his message. I take another step towards him, my eyes never straying away from Beau. I can’t lose focus on what is important, and he is. As long as his blood is still flowing through his veins, that is all that matters.

’’Cassius this has to stop,’’ Jules comes forward the calm tone still in his voice. Everyone seems to want to have a conversation with the man. Cassius is fucking mad. Nothing anyone says will make a difference.

’’And who are you?’’ he directs at the man.

’’Nobody important. You can do this the easy way and surrender, or we will do this the hard way.’’ I know what is coming next. The green springs pack all seem deterred right now. Cassius just basically just told them that they might not have a pack to go back to. Walker is shaken up right now and I completely know how he feels. Everything that is happening could demoralise a person.

’’Oh, you really you really think you can defeat me?’’ he shouts so loud my skin crawls.

Jules takes a step closer to him, his eyes red already. His scent gets stronger and at this point overshadows Beau’s scent away from me. he keeps on walking until he gets to Cassius’s front. This time, two vampires from behind come to his front. Covering him from the lone wolf.

’You need your lackeys to back you, up don’t you?’’ he asks with a faint smile. I have never seen Jules in a fight but the courage he has makes me think he can at least take a couple of the people here.

’’You are not important to me. I will not waste my energy on you,’’ he brushes him off like he is inconsequential. I don’t know why he thinks he is all that, why he must control everything. the two vampires in front of him grab unto his hands swiftly. Instantly, Jules pushes them off immediately, the force at which he does this is hard and this sends them flying away.

If we all decide to fight at the same time. We can take him. I don’t know what is going on with Beau; why he is unconscious right now but as long as he is breathing, that is that matters to me.

I watch Cassius as he walks over to Jules, his eyes becoming red in the heat of the moment. I take another step towards him and he smiles, welcoming me with my eyes. Jules takes another step towards him, charging headfirst. I watch the scene play out, from the sides of my eyes, I can see his people heading towards us.

’’don’t just stand there, we need to do this together,’’ I shout to the crowd behind me. I can hear all their thought. The fear masking in the face of their bravery. They want to fight but they are choosing to be cowards. I run so fast to stop the vampires that are trying to protect Cassius. He has people that will fight for him.

I muster up all the strength in me as I reach for the collar of one of them. Right now, there is no plan. Beau is lying on the floor, the people that are supposed to be our army are cowering in fear. Walker Fields is frozen in place. I don’t even know what to do. all I can do is fight. Fight until this is all over. I clutch his neck tightly, his eyes open from the pain. right now, I don’t see a vampire like me. I am doing this to protect the ones I love. Anyone that is a danger to me and my family needs to die. This is my way of fighting.

This is what I know.

Squeezing the sides of his neck, I don’t stop until there is a snap. I don’t stop until the light in his eyes, disappear.

The moment he drops to the ground, I do the same again to the other guy. This leaves Jules some time to have his way with Cassius. Slowly, I turn around and the two packs are still standing there. No one is making a move, and this is ridiculous to me.

’’Eligio come on, we can’t just sit back and not do anything,’’ I shout angry with the whole situation. They are all just freaking standing there.

Eligio is not a coward. I wish Darrien was here. He would take action. Everything that is happening seems to weird right now. We all came here with the intention of fighting for our lives. No one would just give up at the last

’’They are here but they can’t do anything.’’ He says and this makes me face his direction. Two more vampires are holding unto Jules. There is blood on his forehead. I don’t know why he would not just transition right now.

What is going on?

’’the shock is why it is not working on you,’’ he mutters, seemingly deep in thought.

I don’t know what he is talking about but I feel like he has done something. Whatever is going on with Beau is all him and now he seems to have affected the rest of the pack and my brother.

Cassius takes a step towards me ’’I could snap a neck or two into smithers and they wouldn’t be able to fight back.’’ He informs me as he walks closer to my crowd. Everyone is frozen. No words escape their lips. Their eyes move back and forth but no one says a thing. I can’t take everyone here on my own.

’’What are you talking about?’’ I ask wanting to know what he has done.

He stops walking and faces me again ’’You are not the only one that has a witch on his side. A spell here and there and everything works out to my advantage,’’ he stops in front of one of the brothers in the pack. I have only had one conversation with this person. I don’t even know his name.

’’Hello there,’’ he reaches for his face and pulls him up from his chin ’’This is the best way to do this, the easiest way to get you out of your misery.’’ I take another step towards him, my hands tremble as I put them into fists.

Shit shit shit.

’’don’t worry, this will be very painless,’’ he tells the man. my heart breaks against the confinements of my rib cage as I see the tears slide down his face. he already knows. I read his mind and I feel his pain. this is his end.

He is going to die and he is not even given a fighting chance. Whatever Cassius did has all these people transfixed.

They are stuck against their own will.

My brother is here too.

I can’t fight them all.

Fuck.
