His Blue Moon Princess
His Sunshine Baby Chapter 67

The King goes past us without giving us a single look. Damn, he is even scarier when he's fighting, that killing machine...

Next to me, Daniel even shapeshifted out of fear. His wolf took over because he sensed a stronger Alpha, I can't blame him. I really can't believe the King's hellish aura... You okay Danny?

Yeah, well, much better now that he is going away... Moon Goddess, I swear I was that close to wetting my fur.

I know...

Despite how scary he is, the King actually cleared a lot of the Vampires for us. Even the Sea Moon wolves look in better shape now that there are a lot fewer bloodsuckers to deal with, and I can take a few steps back to catch my breath.

I pray silently that my baby can hold on. I've been moving around so much... But she was fine so far despite my training, right? I spot more vampires coming, and growl automatically, f*****g annoyed and exhausted. Hold on, baby, mom's got a few more vampires to wipe off...

We keep fighting, and I start to understand why Boyan is still here instead of following his sister to Nora's direction. That i***t is protecting me, just like Danny! Did he tell him? I can barely get my hands on any vampire now, Boyan is like a wall of fur in front of me, while I just have to wave my iron bar around to keep my surroundings clear.

I don't have time to complain, though, as the vampires keep trying to get past us. Where the hell do they want to go? Are they aiming for the City, to the humans? Why the west...? The Sea Moon wolves are gathered with us at their border, but we have now been pushed a couple of steps into their territory.

Suddenly, several vampires manage to kill one of them and run past us. f**k!

Nora! Some passed through our defense! They are running through the City! What? Where are they aimed to?

I don't know, but they are staying west, on the Sea Wolves turf! Following them now!

I completely forget about Boyan and Daniel and start running after those vampires. Where the hell are they going?

It was obviously a planned attack. They are too many of them, and they were too well equipped. Something's wrong, even for a vampire strike... I meet up with a group of Sea Moon Wolves, but they are too busy to complain about me intruding their turf. I feel Nora coming closer too, did she shapeshift? Her Alpha aura is completely different from her mate's. While the King's aura is like a dark hurricane, Nora's more like a white, silent shadow spreading around. I can't tell which one is the scariest.

I feel her coming closer, and stop running to focus on my surroundings. I'm worried because I can't reach all of my pack anymore. Moon Goddess, I hope they are fine!

Chris! Update!

Update my a*s, where the f**k are you! It's a warzone here!

Chris!

I can't even tell you, Elena, there are so many people here! All the packs, almost! But the vamps... s**t!

I panic for a second, as I suddenly lost our mindlink, like he was pushed away or something. I try to mindlink someone else to check on my cousin, but he is back before that.

I have no idea what's going on, Elena, the water is attacking us!

The water? What the hell? I probably misheard...

Chris, what? The water what?

It's attacking us! For real! Aoutch! Anyway, get here!

I feel like the battle is taking the worse turn in the North, and I'm dying to go there, but... I try to focus on our position first. We got some rest after the King's arrival, but now that he's gone further North, those damn vampires are just going at it again. It's a never- ending battle! I keep fighting back and trying to get closer to Nora, resisting the urge to shapeshift. So much for no stress!

Suddenly, I feel something like a tingling at the back of my head, a ghost sensation.

Elena?

It's Nora. I think she's hurt!

How would you know, she's...

But I ignore Daniel, turning to Boyan.

"Boyan, get your damn a*s to Nora! Now! Leave me alone!"

I try to focus on her, but it's surprisingly easy for me to locate her aura, even in the middle of that frenzy. Looks like she's fine, and she's got back-up too. Did Tonia join her? Or people from the Blood Moon? She's on the Sea Moon Clan's turf, quite close. Elena! Are you ok?

Yeah, doing my best. I'm just a few blocks ahead of your position, but the situation's worse here.

I want to keep running her direction, but Boyan suddenly gets in my way.

Damn it! What is he still doing here! Stubborn wolf!

Elena?

Crap, I mind-linked Nora without thinking, reaching out to her is even easier than I thought!

It's Bobo! I keep telling him to go to you but he won't leave me! His sister is running to you though!

Maybe Tonia's even already there, but I don't have time to check. More vampires, always more vampires are coming. I even lose my iron bar at some point and have to resort to using my fists again. f**k, I can't take any hits!

Elena!

I know, Danny, shut up!

I finally grab what looks more or less like a wooden pole, and use it. Oh, right, vampires don't like wood, right? I manage to defend myself a bit longer, but this is really getting exhausting. Does it ever end!

Elena!

I turn my head, and as I felt it, the white wolf is here. Right behind Nora is Tonia's big wolf. Damn, it was high time. Finally!

Nora! Are you ok? Moon Goddess, you're bleeding!

It's ok. Why aren't you in wolf shape?

Don't worry, I can defend myself fine that way.

I forgot people would ask... Thank Moon Goddess we soon get busy enough that I don't have to explain myself any further. Damn, is it me or are we getting more and more vampires all of a sudden? Just like Tonia is dead set on defending Nora, Bobo and Daniel are fighting hard to not let anyone close to me.

Nora, there is something weird.

What is it?

I feel like they're targeting you!

This is obvious when you stop to watch. All the vampires are almost going completely past us to target Nora exclusively! Tonia is getting tired, even with her brother's help, and Nora's defense is close to perfect, but there are just too many vampires! Nora jumps to the side to test my theory, and as it turns out, I was right.

She's their target.

Elena, it's going to be fine. The South is almost clear, they will go and help the White Moon Clan...

Did she request the Jade Moon's help? That would explain some things... I nod, and try to mind-link my uncle reticently to check on them.

You damn... Our river is still attacking us! Our warriors are poisoned and you are not there, you useless wench!

Elena, Dad's right, the water is... Hey! Still slowing us down!

I report it to Nora, omitting my uncle's rage after me. This is so weird. Water attacking werewolves? Seriously? I take a glance at the sea a few meters behind us, but everything looks normal! What the hell is going on in the north? Moon Goddess I hope they'll be fine... The King should be there by now...

TONIA!

I turn my head, realizing our mistake. Nora and I got too caught in the mind-linking! Tonia is struggling on one side, and Nora cornered by the vampires on another, too far from us! I try to get to her, but she's surrounded. f**k!

I feel the wave coming right a second before it actually does.

HELP!

Nora, don't...!

It's too late. Nora's mind-link literally hit us, and probably a lot of wolves around. Holy s**t, how did she even...? But before I can take a second to think and run to her, dark shadows suddenly jump in the fight from everywhere. I recognize the familiar piercings and markings.

It's Lissandra Jones! The Purple Moon Clan!

Moon Goddess, they are the best fighters of Silver City, and right in time to save the day, too! The Purple Moon Wolves attack without mercy, shifting the balance, clearing the attackers around Nora and Tonia in no time.

The fighting resumes, even fiercer, but things are looking better for us this time. Suddenly, I realize another wolf joined the fight, the younger Black! He's side by side with Nora, but before I can wonder what is he doing here, I suddenly hear Daniel's whimper. Danny!!

f**k!

I jump in, kicking away the vampire who managed to pin him down. My best friend, in his wolf form, is hurt, struggling to get back up.

You i***t, stop trying to protect me!

Hey, I'm not protecting you but my goddaughter!

You've got to be kidding me!

We don't have time to argue, Boyan jumps in to kill the other vampire who was targeting him. I help Danny up, but thank Moon Goddess, it seems the fight is almost over. The vampires are almost all dead or unable to fight in some way, the purple moon and Boyan are putting the rest of them to shreds...

It's a bloodbath around us, quite literally. Everyone is in a mess... I check in with the North but thank Moon Goddess, the nightmare is almost over there too. Nora lets me know the South and east are safe too, the packs are clearing up their territories. Thank Moon Goddess...

I can turn to Danny, and check his leg, but damn, it doesn't look good.

"You're hurt... I told you to not shield me! i***t!"

Daniel, you okay baby? Does it hurt?

But Daniel has decided to ignore both Boyan and I. It's cute to see a two-hundred pounds wolf worried for Danny, but that I won't say out loud... I get some sort of tending done to Danny since I'm the only one with my hands available, and get to burning those damn vampire corpses. Damn, it reeks, and there's a lot to do.

While I'm busy getting rid of them, it seems the Alphas silently agreed to a short meeting there. Lissandra Jones, the Purple Moon Alpha, Patrick Seaver, the Sea Moon Alpha, and Nora start talking, in their humans or wolf forms. Elena!

I turn around. Damn, The King and... Nate.

Elena, are you okay?

Damn, does he have to mind-link me when there are about fifty people around? Doesn't he have a lot of other people to care about, first? I nod, trying to avoid his gaze. Damn, I must look like a mess, too... "The Black youngsters. don't like seeing the likes of you on my Harbor, but I guess this is what they call emergency situation."

"Indeed. How is the North?"

"We are fine. The remains are being burnt as we speak, and we chased them far enough. The White Moon Clan is taking care of whatever is left," answers Nate to the other Alphas.

Does he really have to keep glancing at me like this? I try to stay close to Danny, looking I'm busy or whatever just to avoid looking at him...

"What was that? They attacked at the south-east too." Asks the Purple Moon Alpha.

"They struck the North first," says Nate. "We received the Northern packs' distress call early enough and went to help them, but there were about a hundred vampires."

"You mean only a hundred? How come the White Moon couldn't get rid of that? Did they get soft or something?"

I can't help but growl, Danny too. Is she f*****g kidding me? When they only arrived last minute to help? Nathaniel speaks before it gets nasty between the Purple Moon Wolves and us.

"It wasn't only vampires. Something was helping them. I saw the water from the river catching and trapping wolves... Some were poisoned too, we had many victims that way. Something was definitely off."

So Xavier and Chris were telling the truth... How is that possible though? I exchange a glance with Daniel, just as clueless as I am.

"Sounds like a witch to me," suddenly says the Sea Moon Alpha.

"A witch?"

It's the first time the King spoke, but everyone immediately turned to him. Only the Alphas present don't seem intimidated... "Witches are elemental creatures. If a Water witch was helping them...."

"It would explain how they got past the first defenses so easily..." Whispers Nate.

"Then what drove her off? Did anyone get her?" Asks Jones.

"We didn't even see one. Only vampires. But she could have attacked from further away, I don't know how their magic works."

"Send some people to look at the bodies," suddenly order the King. "See if they replace a witch among them."

Some wolves depart immediately, and I realize a lot more Blood Moon Wolves than I thought are present, too. Moreover, a lot of them actually look perfectly fine. What are those monsters...

"What about what happened in the South then? That time the trees helped the packs. I don't think a Witch would have changed her mind."

"And they can't change their elements, either," Adds Nate.

Wait a minute, trees helped the packs? I exchange a glance with Nathaniel. From what we know, there's only one earth witch in the area! Don't tell me...

"What if there is another Witch left in the south?" Asks the Sea Wolf Alpha.

"If there is, she helped us. She was on our side," I suddenly blurt out.

f**k, everyone's eyes are on me now... Why did I even need to open my damn mouth? I was suddenly worried they would turn on Sylviana, and... It just happened. Even Danny is giving me the are-you-crazy look. Are they going to overlook this? This time, I can't help but glance Nate's way, and of course, he's looking at me too, as surprised as the others. Damn it...

"I don't like the idea of a remnant witch here," finally says the Sea Moon Alpha.

"Me neither."

Great, they decided to ignore me, but they are still after Sylviana.... What do we do now? I exchange a glance with Daniel again, wondering what to do.

I will take care of it! Let me look for the witch!

All the Alphas suddenly look at the younger Black Brother, Liam, still in his wolf form next to Nora. Him? Don't tell me...

Elena... Do you think Sylviana might have a thing for younger guys...?

That kid? He's a teenager!...How old is Sylviana anyway?

Dunno...

I'm still dumbfounded while Liam Black is convincing his brothers and the other to let him "take care of the witch". Now that I think about it, Sylviana did say she had some sort of spy close to Nora... Could it be that kid? Seriously?
