Roman’s POV
Kael headed to the center of that vast sparring ground in his massive black wolf form. Asher had transford into a black wolf form as well. Both their wolf forms were equally massive, threatening, and powerful.
It must have been after so long that everyone was going to see two top tier Alphas sparring against each other to resolve a conflict.
Our small family stood isolated from others.
We didn’t want any bastard Alpha to lay an eye on our mate. They must already be drooling inside at the thought that there was a pureblood among us, but they couldn’t reach her.
Just then, soone appeared behind us.
"Exciting, isn’t it?"
We turned to look at him.
Kaizen.
What is this bastard doing here?
I moved and blocked his vision from seeing Eira, hiding her behind . No one was allowed to lay an eye on my mate.
He chuckled, his lips curving into a smirk. "Do I have to repeat again that brunettes aren’t my type?"
"I don’t care what your type is. Just stay the fuck away from her," I growled, my wolf’s predatory senses awakening at the presence of another outside Alpha even around my mate.
Lucian stood next to and warned Kaizen, "Why don’t you stand on the side and enjoy the sparring? I am sure you have every intention of it."
"Of course," his gaze passed across the sparring ground. "I had been waiting for this day for a long ti. Finally, it’s here." Then he looked back at Rafe. "I was expecting to take my parcel back ho."
Unlike us, Rafe was calm with Kaizen’s presence. Both of them seed to get along well all of a sudden. That made wonder what they had talked about when they t to make a deal about Sophia. Or maybe it was just that both of them were the sa kind of psychopath.
"That parcel needs so work to be done by our girl for so fun. But don’t worry, I will make sure it drops at your door very soon," Rafe answered him.
Kaizen let out a bored sigh. "Don’t make wait long." Then he looked over my shoulder to see Eira behind . "There’s so much all of you can thank for, but... I will let it pass."
What is this bastard talking about?
"You are getting what you had been promised. Don’t expect anything more," I countered.
He chuckled mockingly once more. "Well... let’s forget it. As long as the one is there where they are supposed to be."
We brothers looked at each other as his words didn’t make any sense. What had gotten into him to talk in puzzles?
"Of course, everyone is where they are supposed to be," I countered coldly, still wanting to understand what he truly ant. But we didn’t have ti for it at the mont.
He finally decided to leave, but before that, he looked at Lucian. "You might like to look for so external forces," then tilted his head to look at Eira. "You don’t lack a force either," and walked away.
"What does this bastard smoke to say such bullshit?" I frowned as I turned to look at Eira. "He is gone."
"He knows more things than he lets out," Rafe said. "For now, let’s focus on our guy."
We looked towards the center of the sparring ground. Kael and Asher, in their wolf forms, had taken their positions, circling the ground at a slow pace while growling and glaring at each other before attacking.
"What is that?" Eira mumbled as she looked towards Asher.
"What?" I asked, and the others paid attention as well.
"That Asher... he has..." she seed puzzled. "Sothing around him. Dark. Foggy... It wasn’t there before."
"You can see it?" Rafe asked quickly.
She looked at him and nodded, then looked at us. "You guys can’t?"
I shook my head. "But we can sense it. Especially Rafe, he senses it better than us with his Vampire senses."
Rafe and Lucian looked at each other. "Seems like Kael was right."
"What?" Eira asked.
Rafe had already turned her around to face the ground, holding her shoulders firmly. "We will tell you, but first look around everywhere and tell where else you see it. We need to find its origin."
All of us were filled with urgency.
Just then, both wolves lunged toward each other and the battle began. The loud growls echoed with dust filled the air.
Raven sank into Jason’s arms. "It’s alright," Jason coaxed him, "Daddy will be back soon." Jason’s ears were at our talk, but his attention was on Raven.
Eira shivered at the sight of the way both wolves were ferociously attacking each other, the entire surroundings filled with their loud growls. Asher seed to be more powerful, but Kael was giving him back the sa.
All the bystanders were enjoying the fears spar, not giving a shit that it was about the life of one child.
Rafe tightened his grip over her shoulder as if to shake her out of the shock, and ordered in a strict tone, "Focus, Caldwell. We need to help Kael, so focus and find it. And you better do your best. DO. NOT. DISAPPOINT. ."
When Rafe was serious, he didn’t spare anyone, not even Eira. And at this mont, no one was more important to him than Kael.
Eira nodded and focused, her gaze wandering towards the woods beyond the sparring ground.
"There," she was about to lift her hand, but Rafe held it. "Don’t point it out. Just say it."
"That largest tree ahead," she said. "It’s there."
"Good," Rafe let her go. "Now you can enjoy the fight."
"We need to hurry," Rafe told Lucian, and both hurried to complete the most important task in our plan.
Catch the witch.
"What happened?" Eira asked. "What is that?"
"That’s black magic from a witch who is helping Asher," I explained her. "If Asher is so confident about winning, because he had he planned it this way. The witch’s power will help him overpower Kael and defeat him. Asher wants Raven at all costs, so he is resorting to all the dirty tricks.
"The reason for him coming to the council was this. And if he manages to take Raven with him today, no one will ever challenge him for having our kid with him. The entire werewolf world will consider it as a fair result and side with him."
"That bastard," Eira gritted her teeth, her anger rising all of a sudden. She looked at , not sparing from it either. "And you people knew this was going to happen, and still all of you decided to go through it? Is my son a joke to you?"
I held her shoulder gently. "Eira, I know you are angry, but we had to do it to find a solution once and for all."
"All I know is that you baited my son over it," she shrugged my hands off.
