Goddess's Prophecy: From Rogue to Luna
Chapter Twenty-Two

MAVERICK

We were following Malcolm through the woods searching for the base camp. From the noises we heard it sounded as if Lacey was in one hell of a battle herself. Alaric was going crazy needing to replace his mate once and for all, as did I we needed Micaiah, to make sure she was safe. The thought of her being beaten was heart wrenching.

Malcolm began slowing down and waving us to follow suit. When we gathered around the brush, we seen people moving around, “Malcolm, what is going on?” we were all confused and by his facial expressions he was to. “I do not know this has never happened they are never gathered around like this.” Then suddenly, his eyes were full of both sadness and rage.

I followed his line of sight and what I saw stopped my heart. Micaiah was being thrown back and forth between two men being slashed anywhere they could reach. She fell and a man with a huge scar grabbed her by the hair, I was trying to remain calm waiting for the perfect time to attack. He then threated to force his mark on her to cause me pain. She thrashed around in his hold and kicked him in the gut. He grabbed a knife from a belt of someone standing by.

As he stalked her, I could not watch anymore of this, neither could Alaric, his anger was bubbling causing mine to grow fiercer than I have ever been. We let out the most powerful growl, filled with anger and filled with the need to protect our mate. Once we roared her eyes snapped to us and I heard her beautiful voice “Maverick.”

MICAIAH

It was Maverick, Malcolm made it and brought them here to save me. The coward who threatened to force his mark on me was backing away from me seeing he made the worst mistake he could have made, for my mate was standing mere feet away with eyes ready to kill. Then Malcolm joined standing side by side with him. The Master of evil was in complete shock, to see Malcolm standing strong staring him down, and Maverick staring holes through the warrior with the scar that dare threaten our bond. In this moment looking at the both of them, my family my friends, standing up for me to help me, I knew I was in love with this man, and I would make sure we all survived.

“What do you think you are doing, you can not defeat me boy, it is not your destiny.” He spat at Malcolm who did not budge at his words, nor did he respond which seemed to anger the master Alpha more. Then in a gust of wind their witch Bianca appeared by them. that had me worried until a gust of light and Lacey was by Malcolm. Both of them wearing battle wounds showing they were in a hell of a battle prior to joining us.

“What a good girl, thank you for joining us, now looks like you put a good hurting on the whore witch.” He spat causing Malcolm to growl in anger at the words said about his mate. Lacey was the first to speak, “say what you want, you do not control us, you do not control Malcolm, you are nothing, you are the one who is afraid, afraid that your reign of power, putting fear into others is over. Through life or death, I will make sure neither you nor your pathetic witch will ever live another day.” She was so calm, yet her words held so much power. Vowing to die if she had to just to make sure neither of them survived.

I crawled my way to the pole to lean upon it to try to regain my strength. The warrior who Maverick has yet to take his eyes off of decides he wants to speak. “Oh, dear Alpha, here to help your mate. What are those three behind you, your cheerleaders.” There were guards sneaking up on Dylan, EJ, and Shawn. Without warning the three of the turned around and quickly attacked. With their skills and strength, they had the guards dead in a matter of seconds.

Through there battle Maverick never took his eyes off the warrior. “You think you can best me little Alpha, once your down choking on your own blood I will have you watch me take what I want. You will watch me take your mate from you.” In those words, they had heard enough, Alaric took over Maverick’s body and lunged to the warrior. I have never seen Maverick or Alaric fight one on one before and they were skilled.

They were throwing combos like they have grown up in a boxing ring their entire life. The warrior was stunned and suddenly took his fingers, raking the eyes of Maverick, causing him to let up on the warrior. Bianca and Lacey were off in their own battle throwing balls of fire, electricity, using all elemental powers they could against the other. Malcolm was fighting the others Master holding his own against a skilled Alpha. Dylan, Shawn, and EJ were stopping any other fighter from getting involved. This was between these three and would end with them.

The battle was ferocious, and I felt like I was watching a battle good vs evil waiting on the edge for the good to win. Things were happening so fast yet felt so slow. The warrior had Maverick on the ground wearing them down, but the cocky, arrogant warrior thinking he had the upper hand let up on Maverick. He began stalking towards me with a sinister smile on his face. My strength still has not come back to me I was basically at his will. I could feel Akiva slowly coming back to me, but I did not want to rush the process causing either of us harm.

He gained distance and was soon right in front of me, so close his sweat was dripping off almost landing on me. For the first time in a long time, I felt terrified, like the first time when Uncle Jeff was deranged and attacked me. This time I do not think I could defend myself as my hands were still tied up and blood pouring from my body, still not fully healed. As he grabbed me by my hair raising me to my feet, my legs shaking from being weak, he took his tongue licking the blood off my cheek, “Mm mm, you are going to be so delicious, I can not wait to have you.” I spit in his face; he would have to kill me first. “I will never be yours.”

As his k-9 extended and began to laugh as if he had won, I saw red. I felt the warmth of the red liquid spattered all over my body. I watched the life leave his eyes and as my eyes looked down, I seen a hand with claws through his chest holding a heart in his hand. His body fell down to the ground and standing there with blood covering their body was Maverick. His chest rising and falling as he breathed heavily. He then quickly snapped his eyes at me, not wasting any time dropped to his knees ripping my chains apart grabbing me into his embrace as if I could disappear at any moment.
