The Gamma's Heart
The Gamma’s Heart – Chapter 48

Mariah moved both Josie and Anna behind her since they couldn’t shift yet. Kelly stood beside her and the two took defesive positions.

Noah saw out the corner of his eye that two more were coming in from the front door and Clara was coming dowm the stairs holding the baby.

Clara’s steps halted when she smelt the rotten smell of rouge. Her instincts kicked in and she ran down the steps.

She seen two closer to Noah and four close to her friends.

She held the baby tightly the bag over her shoulder didn’t have much in it but she slowly walked over to Anna and placed it over her and handed the baby to her.

She then grabbed both Josie and Anna quickly and teleported them to the Alpha’s house where there was a safe room for moments like this.

“Protect my baby.” Clara told them both then left as quickly as she arrived.

The moment Noah seen her return he seen the one of the rouges launch itself toward her, but before he could react she did by sidestepping her, causing the wolf to crash into the wall.

And all that took was for the others to begin attacking.

Mariah shifted into her sandy wolf just as Kelly shifted into her red one.

Noah never had time to shift and apparently neither did Clara as the both of them managed to become side by side as three rouges stalked them, forcing them into the living room.

“Where’d you take the girls?” Noah asked quietly, “your parents”

Clara said as her eyes locked with the she-wolf that tried to tackle her earlier.

“Where’s Wyatt?”

“Dealing with more coming from the southern border.”

Noah was angry their was only one pack in the western border that could have attacked them and one in the southern.

He wanted b***d.

Hearing a nasty crack from the kitchen one of the rouges turned around and whmpered, Clara took this distraction as an opportunity and launched herself forward tackling the female.

She and Clary didn’t understand why these rouges were attacking but she knew one thing for sure, she wasn’t loosing anyone in this house tonight.

The she-wolf tried swiping at her face but Clara quickly broke one of her paws to keep her from swiping at her.

When she stood up she felt a scratch on her back cashing her to gasp at the contact.

Kelly quickly ripped the male wolf back by his hind leg “sorry” she linked her. Her and Mariah made quick work of him, now they only had just one left.

But he was bigger than the other one.

Noah quickly extended his claws as the two males circled him he glanced over at Clara who had just kicked the she-wolf off of her and into the wall.

He watched her take that time to shift to her wolf, and catching the attention of the two males in front of him, they almost seemed shocked.

Clary was radiating a deadly aura.

Kane took that opportunity to to force the shift since the males were distracted. He didn’t take full control from Noah, but he did when he clamped his teeth on one of the rouges shoulder forcing him to the ground.

Clary however took her control from Clara, she couldn’t help it, the fact that these fuckers entered her home made her angry. And this puny she-wolf that kept at attacking Clara just fueled her rage.

The she-wolf again seemed scared yet she still ran at her baring her teeth, Clary pivoted right before she got to her.

She turned quickly and ripped her back by one of her hind legs causing her to howl out in pain.

Clary stepped over her and her teeth locked with the back of her neck and and she shook her head violently.

Noah threw one of the male wolfs into the coffee table, he then turned towards the other and growled at him and they both circled each other.

Kane stood over his brown wolf with pure dominance and power. Noah noticed something about this wolf though, he seemed familiar but he didn’t know why.

He also noticed a chain around his neck with something in it but he couldn’t tell what it was. Noah heard a howl from the hall and a pain in his front leg that made him look towards Clary.

The she-wolf had her mouth around her leg but Clary seemed unbothered by it after ripping it from her jaws.

Noah was caught up in his mate that he hadn’t noticed the other wolf had shifted back to his human.

When Noah felt something stab him in his back he yelped out and growled at the person who caused it, only to see a smirking Quientin!

Clary turned when she felt Noah’s pain.

Fear hit her when she seen the bastard standing over him. Clary locked her jaw around the she-wolfs neck again and bit down as hard as she could until she she heard a satisfying crunch.

Quentin looked over at the white wolf that he now knew to be Clara and smiled, then looked back down at Noah.

Stupid Alpha wanna be, he shifted back to his wolf and swiped him in the face with his claws.

Clary quickly made her way to her mate as he staggered a bit. She nuzzled his neck and whimpered a bit, then something hit her pulling her away from him.

Growling she seen it was the other wolf.

He’d woken up after Noah had knocked him out. “Clary hurry, if that vision we had a few weeks ago-” Clary growled at Clara.

“We can heal him!” Clary was hit once again by the rouge as he knocked her down, now she was getting pissed off.

Noah shook his head, everything hurt. His whole body burned. He knew what he gave him, it was wolfsbane.

Quentin took his chance and ran right at Noah and knocked him over causing Noah’s wolf to whine out. He did notice one thing though, the loving way Clara was comforting him.

It only meant one thing. He was her mate, and he hated him for that.

Quientin locked his teeth around his throat and began shaking vigorously. Noah tried to fight him off but the wolfsbane had weakened him severely.

He had already linked his cousin for help when he realized he was drugged but he didn’t know how long they would be.

Feeling his wolf shift back due to lack of strength he felt the skin of his throat be torn more. He locked eyes with Clary who thankfully had given control back to Clara.

The wolf she was dealing with, she kicked him against the doorway breaking his back then ran over to me but before she got here Quientin had ripped the skin from my throat.

I could hear her howl in pain as he was ripped away from me, I didn’t even see the others come inside.

When did they get here?

“Noah? Oh my god, Noah, please?” Clara cried as she placed his head in her lap. Her wrist was fractured but she couldn’t feel the pain, because she was going through all of his.

Wyatt held the slimy bastard down on his knees once he shifted back. “Go check on the girls.” he asked Richard and Jackson who came with him.

He glanced back at Hank who was cluching his ribs but he seemed to be healing.

“The wolfsbane I gave him will keep him from healing.” Quentin smugly told them.

Clara pushed his hair back, she will not let that vision come true.

The one she refused to tell him about because she was hoping it wouldn’t ever come to pass.

“I can heal you, Noah.”

Noah couldn’t talk, the tear in his throat made it impossible, and b***d loss was making him tired.

He lifted his hand up and wiped a tear from her face.

Hesitantly Clara placed her hands over his neck lightly, the flow of tears coming from her hadn’t stopped since she shifted back “sana eum” she whispered softly.

Richard walked in with an arm holding Mariah up while Jackson held Kelly.

They had scratches and bruises everywhere and Kelly had a broken arm but they were okay.

Noah closed his eyes, he didn’t feel anything but coldness rush over him. He knew what was coming.

“Don’t you f*****g dare.” Wyatt said his voice shaky.

A sob broke out in the room and Noah knew who it belonged to, he parted his eyes weakly.

Her hands were still on his neck, she shook her head at him and repeated trying to heal him

“Sana eum!” Clara said a little louder and unknowingly pushed out more power in the room.

Noah smiled weakly and grabbed one of her hands and squeezed it as he closed his eyes again.

“What about, Bailey? She needs you too Noah! Don’t live for me, live for her…” she begged him leaning her head down against his.

“Please don’t leave me..” Everyone in the room was crying because they could hear his heartbeat slowing down.

Mariah snuggled herself into Richard more as she watched her best friend cry and plead with Noah to stay, her own tears were falling down her face and she didn’t want to wipe them away.

“I love you, Noah Evans!”she told him and kissed his lips softly while a soft sob left her.

Clara listened as his heartbeat slowed, and the moment it stopped an anguished cry left her.

The area where her mark was at burned and she grasped it wanting nothing more than the pain to end.

Her heart hurt and her mark burned due to his bond breaking.

“You were supposed to be with me forever, you and Wyatt…” Clara cried her head falling to his chest.

Jackson quickly handed Kelly to Hank and raced over to his sisters side.

He grasped her under her arms but she thrashed around in his arms not wanting to leave Noah’s side.

Lightning cracked loudly outside as he continued to try and pull her away, “dimitte me” (let me go) Clara yelled as she turned and pushed him away from her.

Her breathing was heavy, as she locked eyes with Jackson who had a petrified look on his face.

Wyatt looked at his mate, it took everything in him not to drop to his knees at the aura in the room coming from her.

Her eyes were not a color he’d ever seen before, they were black, like fully black.

Quentin whimpered as he felt the power roll over him, and Clara’s eyes snapped to him.

“occidisti me mate” (you killed my mate) her eyes narrowed at him as she took a step towards him.

“You don’t want to do this sweetheart” Wyatt said as he tried to gain her attention.

Clara’s eyes snapped up to his. “He KILLED my mate, Wyatt!” Thunder boomed outside with her words, venom dripped out of every word she spoke.

“Vado occidere eum, tum omnes qui eum adiuverunt.” (I’m going to kill him, then everyone else who helped him) Wyatt’s eyes widened, he knew she wanted revenge but this wasn’t her.

“Wyatt calm your mate down before she does something she’s gonna regret.” Kelly said through gritted teeth as she fought the aura her best friend was putting off in the room.

Clara ignored Kelly and bent down to where Quentin was cowering. “I’m gonna make your death agonizingly slow.”

Before anyone could do anything she grabbed him and they both vanished from the house.

Seconds later, Samuel and Brandon came running into the house.

Brandon looked around at all the dead bodies, seeing as they’d shifted back after they died.

Rounding a corner his eyes widened as he seen the one body in front of him.

“Oh Goddess why..?” Samuel took his eyes from the dead wolf in the hall and turned to Brandon.

Seeing he was looking into the living room, he followed his gaze and his heart broke.

“Where is…where is she?” Samuel asked the people in the room, as they stood around.

Jackson turned to look at his dad and sniffled. “She left with the wolf that killed him, but…” he shook shook his head ” but there was something off about her dad.”

Samuel looked at his son worried. “Why do you say that?” Jackson shook his head again “her eyes…they were black.”

Samuel g*****d. Looking up at the ceiling “she tapped into black magic, she didn’t use it on-” an audible gasp was heard in the room followed by coughing.
