A tremendous roar reverberated through the vicinity, unmistakably Tyler’s, embodying sheer aggression. Maddis seemed to accelerate further, and within a minute, the sounds of combat became audible as they hurried towards her. They observed several of his wolves engaged in combat with other wolves as a building became visible, having approached the patrolling wolves.
He surged passed everyone, his sole worry now being the safety of his Mate. The cry was purely aggressive, suggesting she was still engaged in combat, driven by an uncontrollable bloodlust.
Upon rounding the corner of a modest structure, I finally beheld her; she was not merely combating wolves, but an Alpha wolf. Its presence was palpable, and the blood that adorned her was evident from this vantage point. They detected her blood and, in response to her condition, unleashed a powerful Alpha Roar before swiftly advancing on the Alpha male.
They collided with him just as the man’s gaze switched towards him, his eyes widening slightly at the sight of his partially transformed state. All their claws dug into him as they pushed him away from their Mate, tumbling over one another on the ground. They observed the man rise and fix his gaze on Maddis, visibly astonished, before his wolf erupted from within him.
He and his beast recognised that the confrontation they faced would markedly differ from a typical wolf-on-wolf altercation. Maddis lunged at him the instant he transformed, emitting a fierce snarl infused with Alpha aggression, unleashing his aura upon the opposing Alpha wolf as he struck it on the side of its head and raked his claws down its flank.
Bella abruptly distanced herself from them, escaping from the conflict, unable to concentrate on it or the battle they were engaged in, necessitating her withdrawal. They charged at the Alpha male as combat erupted around them, accompanied by his best troops.
Both he and Maddis detected Bella’s blood on this individual, inciting an intensified fury in Maddis. Consequently, he lost all restraint; his wolf savagely attacked the Alpha, using its claws and teeth to rend flesh until the assailant was subdued on the ground, forcibly restrained by Maddis.
He grasped the wolf’s head with both clawed hands, exerting maximum pressure, and then delivered a decisive kick to its neck, embedding his claws and severing its head entirely. He tilted his head upward and howled for his mate.
He stood and awaited a response, calling straight to Tyler, as he had on the day they returned to the pack. He awaited a response from his mate, but received none; she remained consumed by her affliction, discarded the wolf’s head, and then violently attacked its body in a frenzied rage.
He stood in his partially transformed state, surveying the surroundings, his body a disarray of blood and entrails. The combat had nearly ceased, as the wolves under this Alpha recognised his demise, likely unable to sense his pack, and devoid of guidance. Few remained.
“Send them all out.” Maddis growled. They attempted to locate Bella and Tyler. They continued to distance themselves at a pace faster than he had ever perceived her move, the adrenaline in her system providing the anticipated enhancement. Maddis exhibited palpable dissatisfaction at the considerable distance she had traversed in a brief period.
“We must allow them to compose themselves, Maddis.” He communicated to his creature, aware of her presence and the direction she was heading. They could distinctly sense two wolves proceeding in that direction, drawn by those tethers, and discovered it was Jodi and Bradley. They were unlikely to apprehend her; rather, they were probably attempting to maintain a connection to her for future tracking, ensuring she remained sufficiently near, as her distance would diminish their awareness of her presence.
