Chapter 7: Battle of Blood (PART 1)

Note: OMG GAME OF THRONES SEASON FINALE WAS JUST *holds in fangirl screaming*

 VAMPIRE

Amber's POV

Trekking through the woods, I sigh, squinting at the sun as it glitters through the oak leaf canopy above me. A brief squabble of squawking birds make me pause for a moment as they flutter loudly into the safety of the trees. Inhaling, I narrow my eyes-I could smell something strange. 

Pushing my way through long reeds of grass, I shrivel my face up in disgust at the smell of putrid flesh, and I peer into a small opening.

A pile of dead crows met my eyes, their flesh rotting, maggots crawling in their feathers and wriggling in their beady dead eyes. With a brief head count, there were ten in total, stiff, cold, bloody.

Backing away cautiously, I glance around briefly-I didn't know what exactly had happened to these birds but I was taking this as a bad omen.

Shaking at the horrible possibilities of what it could mean cropping up in my head, I shake my head to get rid of them before flitting towards a small pond nearby. Bending down, I can see my reflection; long black hair and orange eyes stared back at me curiously. My hands reach down and touch the surface of the cool liquid, causing ripples to break the image of myself, before I cup my hands, holding a small amount of the water, and splashing it onto my face.

Flicking my hands to get rid of the droplets, I rub them on my clothes before drying my eyes and glancing back down at the pond.

In my reflection's place was a wolf head, the alpha's-pure midnight black with pure black eyes, growling at me, almost sneering.

I heard a shout of alarm far, far away in the distance, and I put two and two together...the dead birds...the reflection of a wolf...

The wolves were attacking and ten would die.

Sprinting through the forest as fast as I could, I get to the den just in time to see the wolves leap out onto the battlefield.

Jerome's POV

They came out of nowhere. We didn't even see them, or hear them until Liam stiffened, eyes wide as he glanced off into the horizon. Then we heard the howling, one, long, single howl coming from many, many wolves. 

We all stumbled out of our dens to see a long line of wolves charging at us, teeth bared and glistening, ready to kill.

"Boys!" Sky yells, eyes blazing with fury as the wolves begin to reach us.

"Kill them all!" Sky roars, followed by a battle cry, and we all set off into a quick flit and meet the wolves head on.

The first dog that attacked me I knew well-her wolf name was Scarlet Moon, and she was a ginger, green eyed alpha wolf. She leapt onto me, snarling loudly, her teeth clamping onto my arm with a powerful grip. 

Ripping me to the floor, I curse loudly, throwing her aside and she knocks another vampire to the floor. Just as I stumble to get up, another wolf practically slams head first into my head. 

Leafing Moonlit, who was acquaintances with Sky and Mitch. She hesitates, before headbutting me hard in the skull-and I was sure I heard a crack.

Grabbing the pure white wolf by her neck, I fling her into the air, and she snarls as she attempts to bite at my head, but I slam my fist into her jaw and she backs off, whimpering, blood flowing from her jaws. I wasn't stupid-wolves grew back any broken teeth-but she runs anyway, picking on an easier target.

The first vampire I witness go down was Ryan. He was a good friend of mine, despite the fact that he had some weird obsession with dressing up as batman and talking in a Morgan Freeman voice. The prickly black haired guy yells out for help before Simon, the alpha's right hand, clamps his jaws round his neck and rips his head clean off his neck.

Growling in annoyance, I was about to set off to avenge him, but three other vampires were already upon the ginger wolf, tearing chunks of fur from his body, making him howl in pain-which was music to my ears.

I turn just in time to see a black wolf leap at me, purple eyes blazing, before it throws me across the field.

Mat's POV

Deep in the heart of the fight, I watch a wolf, Parv I think his name was, a dark grey wolf with large grey eyes, be torn into two by Mitch and SSundee.

Note: R.I.P Parv xD Only Yogs who watched the Xmas livestreams will understand this...

Glancing to my right, I see Rythian throw Jerome halfway across the area, so I jump into the air and land on top of him. 

I respected Rythian as a fighter-he was cool headed, calm, quiet, a bit like me. I could relate to him, and I think he quietly respected me too. When he throws me off so I land on my back, he waits as I get back up, and I nod at him, and he nods back. Mutual understanding-our respect for each other only went this far.

He grips my leg with his jaws and throws me through the air, and I spin like a helicopter blade, accidentally landing on the alpha master himself, mid battle with Sky.

Note: OMG I LAUGHED WRITING THIS I'M SO SORRY XD

The black wolf snarls at me, grabbing me by my arm, and attempting to fling me away. But now I'd had enough of being tossed around, and I yank my leg free, gripping the alpha's jaws and I begin to yank them apart...

The satisfying grunt of alarm and the whimper as he desperately attempts to break free of my grip made Sky grin devilishly. 

But I am interrupted when a massive wolf crashes into me, knocking me to the ground and almost taking the breath out of me.

Note: Sorry for all the short POV's I'm trying to include as many people as possible!

WEREWOLF

Tia's POV 

The eerie howl drifted over the moors and I hesitate, watching Ridge stiffen.

"They're fighting aren't they?" I whisper, trembling slightly. Anyone could die, anyone at any time...

"Yes" he answers smoothly-ever since my heat cycle had ended he hadn't come near me. 

"Shouldn't we help?" I ask, trying to be more brave than I actually was.

"No" he shrugs, laying down with a soft thump.

"Why not? They are our pack, it is our duty to-" I begin, only for him to cut me off.

"The pack should learn to look after themselves instead of letting me deal with everything. And you wouldn't be any use anyway" he grumbles, laying his head in his paws and I flinch.

"Every little helps" I retort, knowing full well he was right. I was the weakest of the weak.

"In your case, it is very little. I doubt they will need you at all, other than to follow your betrothed and lick his wounds" Ridge snorts, shaking his large head.

"What do you have against Duncan?" I challenge him, even though I didn't know the blonde wolf very well.

"It's a long story. One that I can't be bothered to tell at this moment in time" he sighs.

It was silent for a while, me attempting to listen out for any vampire running this way to escape. Or to try and catch us.

"What if the vampires kill everyone?" I ask fearfully, not doubting our pack but doubting our attack-it was too predictable and too quick. We had barely prepared...

"Then you and I will have to repopulate the entire pack. Guess that makes you more useful here than out there" he chuckles, smirking as I stiffen. 

"I hope we win" I say quietly.

"We always do" he sighs, gazing out of the den hole, and looking, dare I say it, slightly nervous.

More silence stretches out between us, me fidgeting every few seconds.

"Stop moving around or else I'll bite your legs off" he grumbles.

"Then we won't be able to repopulate" I remind him, and he rolls his piercing blue eyes.

"I was joking, you twit. And I wouldn't need your legs for all that stuff" he chuckles, amused.

"What would you do? If, you know, they actually killed all the wolves except us?" I ask, curious to know his answer.

"I would leave you here and kill them all, and then we would repopulate" he says simply.

"You're not joking about that?" I frown, and he shakes his head.

"Oh" I muse, and he looks over at me.

"What, you're surprised? What else would we do? Sit here and lay about all day eating?" he sighs again.

"Knowing you, you would do that and I'd have to hunt for the food. And...well...you seem to be the only wolf who would actually mate with me" I admit.

"If you were the only wolf left, I wouldn't have any choice now would I?" he mutters, shaking his head.

"True" I giggle, not really knowing what I was laughing at.

"Do you even like Duncan?" he asks after a while.

"I don't even know him that well" I tell him, and he chuckles.

"Lewis is slipping. If I was in charge...well...that would be a different story" he muses, his eyes suddenly far away.

"Have...you...ever?" I ask lightly, not knowing if it was a good question.

"I'm a hybrid who is an ex alpha of a pack. No one wants me" he smirks, but there is no amusement in his eyes.

"Y'know this bond? Will it...set?" I ask.

"I wish you would stop asking so many questions. And I don't know, it depends if another alpha comes along and bites you harder" he spits out impatiently.

More silence. Then a howl.

Ridge gets up in an instant.

"What does that mean?" I ask quickly, following him as he trots outside.

"The pack is in danger" he says simply.

"But I thought you said we were going to stay her-" I begin, but he has already set off running.

Grumbling to myself, I set off behind him, my heart pounding in my chest. My first war!

Note: I'm sorry, again, I didn't update on time D: 

Any fellow writer may be able to sympathise with me, but after a while, writing so many books starts to drain you, and it feels more like a burden than a hobby. It's 11pm here and I've been writing for a while just to get this out there because I knew I was late as it is. 

On top of that, writer's block can be a pain in the wolfie butt.

I haven't been myself for these past few weeks-I've felt more tired and just positively drained of all my energy to the point where I just can't be bothered to do anything. I think I need a bit of a break-attempting to manage like 5 books is a challenge that I didn't consider.

So I'll probably wait until Saturday or Sunday to update, and miss out this week. Also, it's the summer and I want to spend some time outside (NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE BEFORE XD)

If anyone wants me to change anything, message me or comment :)

No question this week, probably one this weekend.

IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN INCLUDED AT ALL IN THE BOOK PLEASE COMMENT BELOW so I can add you into the next chapter-it's hard to keep track of who's in and who isn't.

Also, if there are any questions that you have missed, please answer them. I will probably inbox you when I get the chance letting you know which questions you need to answer.

Also, @jelwolf HAPPY BIRTHDAY JELLY WOLF I UPDATED FOR YOU :D

Bye guys! Hope you can forgive me for being late again...
