Suri Nightingale

I've never seen this much blood since, I don't know, the Red Wedding from Game of Thrones which I managed to get a glimpse of from one of my mom's ex boyfriends while he was watching it. But unlike a show, this was real.

Every growl, every whimper, every sound that shook the very foundation of this forest, it was all very real.

Aurora and I were not spared the blood nor the pain. Amidst the boys trying to cover for me with every chance they could, I still fought with all that I had, with whatever it is I could fight with.

Barely having been familiarized with my wolf and only having trained with her for such a short time, there was so much more I knew I still could do, but had no means to learn aside from watching how the others fought with each other.

Atlas took advantage of the way he could see better, his vision allowing him to calculate somebody's next move a millisecond before it even happens. It was amazing, like he had superpowers.

Wes and Dev were just as superhero-like.

Wes moves with super speed; one second he's behind a tree, and the next he's above it, jumping from it and diving straight for one of the assholes.

I can sense and see the pain he's in and I know it's because he had just healed from his injuries from the accident. I can only imagine the amount of pressure he's giving his body by doing so many strenuous activities, but he won't stop. Nobody can stop any of them when they are determined to end this.

Dev is strategic. Using his crisp hearing to detect any movements that might surprise him. Needless to say, nothing surprised him.

It was truly nothing like I have ever seen before, and I watched in horror and fascination as each Lycan growled and fought back with all their strength.

I thought we were winning.

I thought we were at an obvious advantage.

That was until a surprise explosion had been triggered by something and I saw Titan and Jackal flying off to the other side from the impact and I cried out, howling in distress as I quickly ran up to check on them.

I could see that Bastian and Carlisle were trying to catch up on me, running faster so they could slice the two brothers while they were compromised, but I wasn't going to let them. There was no fucking way.

I heard Blaze howl at me, and based on the vibrations of his sound, he doesn't want me to go to Titan and Jackal. He wants me to wait it out for when he can get Oskar off of him, but I can't wait that long. I'm sorry, Dev, but I will fight no matter if you want me to or not.

Seeing their wolves beaten up on the ground broke my heart and I didn't hesitate to pull them by their arms. They were hit badly, more than half of their bodies, their fur, hit by the explosion and it hurt to see them like this, but I had to keep going. With all my strength, I dragged both of their big and heavy Lycan bodies to a tree nearby and set them there.

At that exact second, Bastian and Carlisle appeared and they looked as bloodthirsty as ever, maybe even more.

I'm not going to let them hurt my boys. There was no way in hell.

I instigated dominance, growling loudly while they did the same. We're sizing each other up, moving left and right and waiting for somebody to strike.

Do they know that I only recently learned I was a wolf? Do they know that I don't really know what I'm doing?

I hope they don't, and I hope I'm not exactly showing it.

Finally, Carlisle is the one to lose patience as he is the first to come after me, diving straightforward, but he was stupid, and I revel in that fact because he doesn't realize I am angled this way for a reason.

The reason being that there is a sharp branch protruded right behind me and with just one step, he is pierced straight through his chest.

Carlisle roared in pain and I can imagine him screaming fuck if he was speaking in human language. He thrashed and writhed about, trying to get him off of the thing, but as if reading my mind, Titan pushed himself to get to Carlisle, dragging him further into the branch and pushing it deeper into his chest, making him scream in pain even more.

Fuck, that is brutal as hell.

It won't kill him, but it's enough to keep him busy while I try to defend the boys from Bastian who is at this very moment about to claw Wes, but I get to him before he could, grabbing him by his neck and smashing him down to the ground and good god, I don't know where that strength came from but it was almost like I had caused an earthquake.

Bastian whimpered as I heard a bone cracking, but I knew too well that wouldn't be enough to keep him down. My claws are slashing and slashing, marking him all over his body as his blood sprayed everywhere and he can't move because I have his legs pinned with mine.

Fuck you! Fuck you for hurting my boys! Fuck you for hurting Eve! Die you piece of s hit!

"You think wolves are hard to kill? Try shooting a Lycan with silver bullets, it won't do s h i t. The only way you can kill a Lycan is by fully destroying them. Burning, beheading, any other kinds of mutilation. If the Lycan's body is still intact, chances are they would still be alive."

I remembered Atlas' words when he was educating me about our world, and if I want to make sure this a*****e will never come for me or my family ever again, I have to completely tear him apart, piece by blood-soaked fucking piece.

After what seemed like minutes that had passed, there was so much blood and gore I could barely recognize the wolf underneath me, his black fur darker now as it was stained with red and his face looked like I had bashed him with a rock a hundred times, though I guess that was the case when I've been going back and forth with my claws on him.

I must have been distracted by the anger and rage of killing someone so vile I hadn't noticed the other one had managed to pull him off of the branch until I heard whimpers from behind me, and fuck, that fucking a*****e was hurting Titan and Jackal! I quickly got up and lunged towards the piece of s hit Carlisle, dragging him away from my boys and I felt nothing but fury and loathing seeping into every fiber of my being.

Frankly, I am not sure how I am able to do this, but it's like an adrenaline rush taking over my body and I can't stop. I can't stop.

I have to kill.

Kill.

Kill.

So much blood.

Fuck them. Fuck them.

They deserve to die.

They deserve to bleed fucking dry.

I have no idea how long I was slashing and biting, bits and pieces of Carlisle all over the ground as his blood pooled underneath me, but only when I heard a desperate whimper come from the side was I pulled back to the present. When I turned to the sound, Oskar was holding Blaze by his neck, his body limp and he looked like he had no more fight in him. Fuck! Not Dev!

I glanced over to Titan and Jackal. Titan was tending to Jackal, shaking him to wake up, but he was still unconscious from the explosion.

Jackal's other half is beginning to shift back into human form. Wes is very weak now. We're losing him. Fuck. We need to end this right now!

Titan must have sensed me looking at him because his head snapped towards me and he gave me a nod, and that's all the reassurance I need before I'm running towards Blaze and my eyes are dead set on ripping Oskar apart, starting with his arm who dared choke my mate!

As I ran up to where they were, I watched in horror as Blaze shifted back into human form and worry flooded me.

Fuck!

We only ever shifted if the pain was too much, if the wolf can no longer keep it in them to stay in their form.

This is bad. This is so fucking bad.

Oskar turned his head to me, the smuggest and most vile fucking smile on his face before he raised the almost lifeless body of Dev above his head and oh my god.

I was so close.

So, so close.

I could feel my claws and fangs ready to severe Oskar, but in the blink of an eye, he had grabbed both ends of Dev's frail body and in the hands of a monstrous Lycan, he... Snapped him into two.

He... he snapped... Dev... in... in... two...

I heard the sound of his bones cracking and my eyes began to flood with tears as Oskar dropped Dev's corpse on the ground and he just laid there, not moving, not breathing, not doing fucking anything.

No. No. No.

He can't be dead. My Dev can't be dead. He can't be fucking dead!

I lose all my control and as soon as Oskar moves towards me, my claws have slashed his neck and he's bleeding fucking everywhere. He tries to fight me still, moving about with his one hand holding onto his neck to keep the blood from gushing, but it's no use. His resistance is futile and all I can think about is seeing the life in his eyes fade away.

I have him pinned down to the ground in seconds, and with my fangs and claws I rip him apart without mercy.

I'm crying, I'm screaming, I'm growling.

I'm crying, I'm screaming, I'm growling.

My vision is blurry but it is also filled with red.

I destroyed Oskar while the thoughts of Dev dead drowned me and fuck, fuck, fuck, this can't be real. This can't be happening.

"Suri!"

I heard a desperate scream and fuck, no, no, not them, too. Not Atlas and Wes! Fuck!

I'm running towards Bastian who's got Atlas by his throat and Wes under his foot. They've shifted back into human forms, their Lycans are no longer able to fight.

With one squeeze and one stomp, he could kill both my boys.

No, no, no. Please, no.

I thought I had killed him. I thought Bastian was already dead, but fuck, I thought wrong and goddamn it, it's going to cost my boys' lives! F u ck, I can't let that happen!

I run as fast as I can, even when it feels like my heart is going to explode in my chest, I don't stop.

I have to get to them. I have to-

My thoughts vanished when a force had flown me off of the ground. Another explosion had been set off, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

It felt like time had begun to slow down and I could see and feel myself flipping and turning mid-air, the dark night sky circling in my view, and I could hear my ears ringing, a loud continuous buzzing noise echoed inside my head, and I couldn't hear anything but that.

I landed hard on the ground, my body thudding and my head bobbing as it ricocheted from the impact. Fu c k. It hurts. Everything hurts.

My boys! Fuck!

I turned to my side, my head feeling like it was going to also explode any second from now. I can feel Aurora slipping away. I am shifting back into human form.

Oh, god. Oh, god.

Where are my boys?

Where are my boys?

I heard shouts, screams, and growls as if somebody was ordering somebody else.

There was smoke coming from where the explosion had come from. I can't see anything. I can't see my boys.

Atlas, Wes, and Dev, where are you? Where are you?!

I felt my body start rearranging again. I can't hold it any longer. I can't stay in wolf form and as soon as I am human again, I feel it.

I feel all the pain a thousand- no, a million times worse.

It feels like I am on fire, like I have been thrown into a volcano and I am just slowly, but surely, getting dissolved into its lava, the heat burning off my skin, my bones, until I am nothing.

I think I am going to die.

And I think that it might also be better if I did.

Maybe when I open my eyes again I will see them. My boys. My mates.

I will meet them there, wherever we end up, and we can finally be together without worries, without fears.

My eyes started to close just when I heard more noises around me. Their voices are muffled, but one of them moves closer.

"Stay awake. Stay awake. You have to stay awake." The deep and worried voice says, and it's bass vibrating in my eardrums, reaching the pit of my stomach.

Soothing. So soothing.

What is this I am feeling? Am I hallucinating?

"Stay awake!" He said again, holding me by my shoulders and it hurts when he starts to shake me, but he manages to somewhat make me open my eyes.

What I saw made my heart clench and my breath hitched.

His eyes.

They... they were the same as mine.

He tells me again to stay awake, but my body is tired.

I am tired.

I want to go home.

I want to be with my boys.

Tears started to roll down my cheeks as I thought about all of the people I love. All of the people that have become the most important parts of my life. The reason I live and breathe.

Hearts can be broken and they can be torn, but them... Atlas, Wes, and Dev, they have my whole soul. My mother, Keith, they are all that keeps me going, too. Elle, Polly, and Ariana, they've all given me a friendship I never thought I could ever experience. What will they say when they see the boys are gone? What will Keith say when he replaces out I have let him down? When he learns that I couldn't protect his sons?

Oh, god. I hate this.

I hate myself.

I...

My eyes closed and I could no longer stay awake.

I only think of one thing before I pass out.

Please don't let me wake up in a world where my boys are not with me.
