Rhylor [The Ultima Manhunt B2]

Chapter 5 - An Angel's Crush

(With Alina, the next day)

Alina jumps out of her mom's silver Prius and starts walking towards the main entrance of school. With the field trip to Bunny Hill Lodge in less than two months, she could only be a bit nervous. She still can't believe her parents are actually letting her and Blade go, even when it says they have orders to kill the Ultima.

They have orders to kill her own brother. Irene, she refuses to let that happen. She'll protect him, she hopes.

"Maybe it's a good thing he's not here." Alina mutters.

"Who's not here?" a voice asks her.

Alina looks up and instantly smiles. "Hey Harper!" she hollers.

"Answer my question, Alina." Harper snaps.

Fine. "I haven't seen Blade since yesterday during gym." Alina whispers.

"He's missing?!" Harper shouts then sighs. "I mean...whatever, he's missing. Who cares."

Alina smirks. "My gut's telling me you care. Even though you literally just met him." she says.

Harper rolls her eyes. "And?" she questions, harshly.

"And I'm just saying! Irene, calm down." Alina quickly apologizes.

Her parents had to know something. When she got home from school yesterday, she immediately questioned her parents about why Blade left in the middle of the school day. But to her misfortune, they never told her. They just said, he'd be back in a few days tops.

"Alina! Where is he?" Harper snaps.

Good question. Where is my brother? Alina hums and continues on her way to class.

Harper groans then follows behind her slowly.

(With Blade)

Blade stares at his wrists, which support the pack marking of Bloodcrest. He got them slashed a few years ago, behind his parents' backs. Neither of them even knew he willingly did that. He's not about to tell them either.

In front of him are several werewolves, burying the elder's body in a respected grave. Nathan stands beside him. The other werewolf had managed to track Blade down, much to his displeasure.

"What are you going to do now?" Nathan asks him.

Blade shrugs his shoulders. "I guess go home. Bloodcrest is free now so I don't have to stay any longer." he replies after a minute of silence.

"Sure you freed Bloodcest, but aren't they without an Alpha?" Nathan raises an eyebrow as he speaks.

"They don't need me to lead them. They can pick their own Alpha. Someone who isn't me." Blade whispers.

A blonde haired woman then walks up to the two with Zalia, Brynci, and several other Blood wolves.

"Bloodcrest is the only pack that gets to chose their Alpha. And as members of that pack, we chose you." the blonde haired woman says and points to Blade.
