Soul Mate

chapter 73

River's POV

The moment my mate hits the ground, my wolf and I wreck havoc on each and everything around us. Starting with Elliot.
Zane gives me part control and we work together. I didn't even know that was possible till it happens. We ran for Elliot and claw him right in his abdomen, our claws sinking in till he is nearly torn in half. I watch him for a second, hesitating.
But then I remember Sebastian lying on the muddy ground and anger clouds me.
I rip his head right off his body.

Thick fog fills the atmosphere and you could barely see a thing. But Zane and I could. That was the whole point, to incapacitate the enemy wolves and take them out effectively. They wouldn't see the attack coming.
I move through the fog clawing and sinking my canines into wolves and hunters alike. Tearing them apart without mercy, limb by limb.
Show no mercy. I keep telling myself.
Howl's of pain fill the air, whimpers and pleas for mercy invade my ears but I was focused on one goal only.
To kill each and every one of them.
I drop the temperatures further and it feels like we are in the Arctic. If those I'd clawed were still miraculously breathing, I would freeze them to death. I would use all my abilities to finish them off.
No one would be left standing.

Absolutely no one!

After a total of 10 minutes, the whole forest goes quiet... Well except for the howling wind and sound of pouring rain. There's no wolf howling in pain though, no whimpers either. I pause, panting heavily, mouth dripping with blood and let the fog dissipate. I silently watch the blood bath and carnage I'd caused. Wolves and hunters lay in pieces before my eyes, their blood flowing with the rain.
I couldn't believe I'd killed all these people.
I stand, frozen in place. My mind trying to process what I was seeing.

A brown wolf I recognize appears in my line of vision, he stares at me in worry. I must look horrible with blood soaked teeth and all.
I make the rain stop and look down at a puddle of water on the ground, and I stumble on my four new acquired feet.

I looked deadly!
I looked... Dangerous.
With my glowing eyes, blood soaked jaws and black fur, I was terrifying. My own appearance scared me!

The wolf infront of me shifts back to its human form and casper gets to his feet and slowly approaches me.
" Heyy..hey... It's okay. You did a good job." he tries.

"Good job!! Good job!
I fucking slaughtered people! I...I ..killed them all casper." I mind link.

How was I ever going to sleep at night? With what I'd done?

" Snap out of it River.. Sebastian needs you."

My mate!
Fuck!
Am such an idiot..

I rush over to where my mate lay on the muddy ground, still in wolf form. He is motionless except for the slight rise and fall of his chest. His eyes are closed too. I whimper and nuzzle my head in his neck. He was alive. I could feel it. I could also feel the bond. It was strong. I think that's why I wasn't panicking yet. He was still with me but injured. I wasn't sure to what extent though.
I whimper again and nudge him with my nose and his eyes flutter open. They stare deeply into my stormy grey ones.

" Hey you.." he mind links.

" Hey. Am glad you're still with me. I was already planning my death. I wanted to go out in style." I joke.
I hear his deep chuckle in my head and my heart floods with love.
He closes his eyes and opens them a fraction.

" You were amazing. Am proud of you." he says. Then goes quiet.
He wasn't dead.. for that I was sure.

" He needs rest to heal. Silver has no real effect on him. I never understood it before but now I do. He's Alpha of all Alpha's. So you don't need to worry about becoming a widower." Casper's voice comes from behind me.
I turn to give him the deadliest wolf glare I could muster but quickly turn back around, the action almost giving me whiplash.
