Chapter 161: A war in anger is never won.

Alanis.

The moment Cassius drags Beau away my heart races against my chest. All I can focus on is the fact that he is alive. I thought he was dead, he stopped breathing. I felt alone, I didn’t know how to react to is but now I feel him again he is alive but if I chose to focus on him now, a lot of people will die.

Eligio is the first person to move. I don’t know it happens but I watch him as he takes a step towards me. Whatever Cassius did must not work from a distance. That is the only explanation I can get for this.

The vampires he brought with him all look confused.

They don’t know what to do, I don’t even know what the best solution to all this is. I know that they are not all bad. Not all of them want this. they are being forced to do this.

Once Cassius loses this fight, they are all going down with him.

Slowly, all the wolves start moving. They are all angry. Walker fields is the first to attack. I see him as he jumps so high in the air and transforms. He doesn’t wait and the minute he starts to attack the vampires, the others follow him. I don’t even know if taking Cassius was a good idea. I see people that are on our side. Bade and Brone are no part of the bad guys but this is a fight for survival and no one seems to want to even listen to sense of reasoning.

I am in the middle of this, my heart is at the top of my throat because I don’t even know what to do. I almost died in the hands of Cassius. I felt my life slip from me, I don’t know if that is what brought Beau back but I am glad he is. From a distance, I see Darrien as he runs into the crowd, a vampire tries to attack him, but he is quick to respond immediately snapping the man’s neck from his body.

I am frozen completely as he walks up to me. he is supposed to be with the kids. Why is he here?

’’Why are you here?’’ I ask him.

I see bodies falling, people are already losing their lives and I didn’t want this war. I wish things didn’t have to turn out this way.

’’Jabi convinced me to come back, I hope I didn’t make a mistake,’’ he mutters an answer. There is no time to converse as the minute I part my lips, two more vampires attack us. We both defend ourselves successfully before looking at each other again. There is confusion all around and from the looks of things, my kind is losing. I don’t want this battle to be one between vampires and wolves. I don’t want to lose any more people, especially since I know they are not as bad as it seems.

’’How do we stop this from getting worse?’’ I ask Darrien.

He shrugs and from the way he looks, it seems like his mind is not here. I don’t think it was a good idea leaving the weak ones. Okay, that didn’t sound right but Jabi and Rex cannot handle an ambush.

’’We need to stop this before we all die,’’ Bade walks up to me. His face is a battered mess. This is a fight that he wasn’t even interested in and now he could end up losing his life.

’’No one’s going to listen. The Alpha is not here, everyone is angry.’’ I look at the sight in front of me. more people are dying. The ones that are not dead are fighting.

What the fuck are we even fighting for?

’’You need to go back to those kids; I will handle this,’’ I tell Darrien because sure he could help here but he left his mate alone with no strong contender. I don’t even know how he could do that in the first place.

He shakes his head ’’Jabi will not be happy if I show up. He wants me to trust him.’’ he informs me like now is the right time for relationship problems.

This is not about the kid being happy or not. This is about the kid being alive.

’’Go now Darrien, I don’t fucking care about your relationship. Beau’s family is in that bus and he will never forgive you if anything happens to all those wolves.’’ I glare at him because he is choosing to be stubborn.

After he leaves begrudgingly, Brone walks up to us, almost in the same condition as his brother. This is all insane and I don’t even know what to do. I don’t know how to stop this.

’’No one wants this, why are we even fighting?’’ Bade shouts so loud that it distracts a couple of people close to us. The vampire fighting with a wolf manages to pin him down and unconscious, his eyes shift to us and he runs over to me, his intentions unknown to me.

’’I wonder how what I will get if I succeed to kill you,’’ he gleams as he tries to fight me but with all the anger inside me, I don’t give him a chance. I didn’t have any plans of killing him but in the heat of the moment, I succeed in ripping his heart out.

They all watch me as I grab his heart tightly, squeezing out the life from him. this is not me; I don’t like this. This needs to stop.

’’Whoa, I’m glad that’s not me.’’

From the looks of things, we are winning but it doesn’t seem like a victory. I don’t want to win this fight, since it has everything to do with Cassius and his selfishness. This is a fight that doesn’t even concern all these people. A fucking forced fight.

’’Stop as many people as you can, make sure no one fights,’’ I shout to them all because I want this to end.

Bade raises a brow ’’What if Cassius returns, we will all die,’’ he points out but for once I want to believe that we will win. Beau Just freaking back from the dead. He is alive again when I felt his heart stop. whatever happened with him makes him stronger and if he is stronger then he will take Cassius. I have to believe that because I have nothing else.

This is the last ounce of faith I have left and I am going to use it in believing in him.

He is strong, he is brave, he is a fucking fighter.

’’I am not letting any more people die,’’ I shout to them all. Eligio walks over to us, he looks fucking exhausted but I mean, we all are.

’’Stop everyone, from both sides. ’’ I tell him the plan, this should have been the plan all along. maybe the Eli’s were right. They didn’t believe in this fight because of the bloodshed that would come with it and now being here in the woods, witnessing everything just shows me how pointless this all is.

When there is a war, people will die from both sides.

This war is stupid because we are fighting because of one fucking bastard for things that don’t even make any sense. I might not understand why the wolves took Gyles all those years ago but it doesn’t matter. The truth will not make this any better. The people here don’t have anything to do with the past.

’’Okay,’’ I watch Eligio as he tries to talk to our people. it is not easy—as I expected and he has to knock some of the vampires but as we all come together, slowly, the fighting reduces.

Bade and Brone settle on his side, we focus on our side. It is easier to talk to our people, even though they are all angry. I don’t blame anyone. I am beyond pissed at the whole situation but I am thinking of the bigger picture. I am thinking of after this is all over. I don’t want the regrets that will come with all this.

Once things are calm, I take a deep breath. This is the time to address everyone—at least the people that are awake.

’’Everyone, this is not the way to win,’’ it ell them using the bravest voice I can muster up.

The sight in front of me is horrid, the bruises, all the blood but at least people are still alive.

’’He is right,’’ I hear his voice before I see him. my heart stiffens against my chest because I don’t know how to react to him. Everyone’s eyes divert away from me to him. My heart is screaming. Telling me to turn around. The fact that he is here means he won.

Right?

With shaking hands, I listen to the most vital organ in my body and turn around to face him.

My mate is alive.

Fuck.
