Chapter 0193
"Alpha!" Luca yelled in the mindlink. "Come to your palace! They have Silver and she's in pain! They are around back outside!! There are a ton of rogues here, none of them fighting. They seem to be waiting for you."
enough to do any real damage.
Without a second thought, I shifted into my wolf, and I ran as fast as I could towards my palace. I knew Leo had shifted as well and he was also running as fast as he could behind me. As I ran, I dodged different wolves trying to attack me. I made some attacks, but not When I reached the palace, I shifted back into my wolf form. Leo shifted back as well and handed me some pants. We both put the pants on before running around the back of the packhouse, trying to pick up Silver's scent. I froze when I saw Silver curled up on the ground, whimpering and crying. Her entire body was racked up with sobs and standing beside her was Scott. They were both glowing bright red and I could tell he was channeling her powers, making his even stronger.
It was hurting her.
"It's about time you showed up," Scott said folding his arms across his chest. "Like the chaos I've caused? It's not just your pack. It's all the packs. Everyone is fighting one another. I've gotten reports that there are 2 Alphas already dead and many others that are injured." "What are you doing to her? Why is she glowing?"
"I needed her powers to make this possible. It might end up killing her, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. As long as you suffer."
The sounds of Silver's whimpering broke my heart.
"Just let her go, Scott. You can have me. But don't hurt Silver. Don't hurt your own sister!"
"N...no..." I heard Silver gasping; she looked up at me and I saw that her eyes were glowing. Her hair had gone completely white, and I could see her canines breaking through her mouth. She was in so much pain and there was nothing I could do to help her. "E...Elliot... don't...."
I tore my eyes away from Silver to glare at Scott.
"Take me... it's me you want, right? Then take me."
"Elliot, what the hell are you doing?" Leo asked, glaring at me.
I ignored him.
The sounds of the battle going on around us were too much. It was as if we were in our own little bubble though. They weren't fighting me; not anymore. Since I reached the palace, they've stopped trying to attack me.
Scott smiled as he stepped towards me. He held the dagger in his hands, and I knew right away that was the dagger meant to kill him. He was going to use it on me and that was what my sister had seen.
"Elliot! Don't!" Leo shouted, but by the time he reached me, a rogue jumped out of nowhere and tackled him. Leo immediately shifted into wolf form and fought back but there were too many of them. They were attacking him all at once and he could hardly stand anymore.
Luca came out of nowhere to help as well but more rogues, and even some of my own men, lunged at him. They were all deliriously confused; none of them knowing who the enemy was and who wasn't.
Whatever spell Scott cast on them, whatever he was draining Silver's powers for, it was causing them to become mad.
Silver struggled to sit up; blood poured out of her eyes and nose. She was biting onto her bottom lip. so hard that it was bleeding as well. She was wasting away before my eyes, and I knew the only way to get her to not be in this pain anymore was if I allowed Scott to take my own life.
"Elliot..." she whimpered, barely audible.
"I'm sorry..." I mouthed to her, tears burning in my own eyes knowing I would never get to hold her again. I would never get to be with her after tonight. "I love you..."
Scott lunged at me with the dagger, and everything happened so quickly. He swiped the dagger across my bare chest, he didn't plunge it inside of me. I don't think he had to. Others lunge at him as he lunged at me, but it was too late. I felt the sharp sting of the dagger and then it felt as
if my entire inside was burning.
"Noooooo!!!!" Silver screamed as I fell to the ground, my own blood soaking my entire body and the sounds of Scott's laughter filling the air.
Howls erupted around me; some in mourning and others in victory.
Just as I lay on the ground, my heart barely beating and my breathing manual, I saw Silver lunging at Scott. I wasn't sure how long I had been lying there, but when I met her eyes, I could see her wolf fighting to take control. Eventually, Silver relented, fury clear in her eyes. Her wolf surged forward, taking charge. She wasn't fully shifted, but I could feel her wolf was more in control than she ever had been.
The sudden burst of energy and strength took Scott by surprise, and he lost his focus, falling to the ground as Silver ripped the dagger out of his grip and plunged it deep into his chest.
The last thing I heard was the sound of Scott gasping and the sob that escaped Silver's lips... then everything went black.
