The Denouement of the Nemesis

Unwrapping Christmas Presents!

Shadowfen was 200 miles away from the Alpha's mansion which was apparently called The Anchorage,Elaine learnt from Amity. It was 10:00 pm and the perfect time to head out.The house was quite deserted.Austin had gone out while she was sleeping and Amity was in her room with her door shut and she could hear music blaring.Elaine hadn't seen anyone else in this house and hoped no one would realize her absence too soon.

She arranged the pillows in the bed and covered it with the comforter.After it resembled the outline of a person she locked the door and quickly pulled her hair into a ponytail , pulled the hood over her head,she grabbed her bag and her car keys then carefully opened the window.She looked outside searching for any guards.She didn't know if it was a good thing or she should be surprised of how easy it was.

After waiting for a couple of minutes to make sure no one heard the window opening, she dropped her bag first and jumped out,landing on her toes like a cat.She picked up her bag and briskly walked towards the garage to find her car.After finding it exactly where they left it, she started it and it purred to life. She pulled out keeping the lights off,careful not to alert anyone.She headed towards the woods after flashing her headlights.

Elaine picked up speed and soon the scenery was just a blur and she felt like she was flying.

'Tonight I would save Delancy no matter what!!' through the rush of adrenaline,she thought determined.

After a while when the woods got too thick and the road could no longer be seen,she had to stop the car. A bike pulled up beside her.She opened the window to find a blonde haired guy with green eyes remove his helmet.The bike she realized was parked beside her car back at the mansion,which would mean he was from the pack.

"What are you doing here?"He asked.

She sighed suppressing a growl.I don't have time to deal with him now.

"I felt a bit too surrounded. Needed some time alone, so I thought of going to the woods.You know, to clear my mind."Elaine made up,hoping he would drop it.

"Surrounded by thoughts or people?"He asked yet again.

"Both."She quickly replied.

"Its not safe in there and I'm Drake by the way."he said,"Besides why the backpack?"

Elaine shook her head. 'So not the time for introductions' she thought and pulled up the window.She got down with her backpack and started walking inside the woods with Drake hot on her heels.

"Seriously! Why are you here?"He asked but the last part of the sentence turned into a growl.

His eyes turning darker.He started looking around."Mate" was the last word he said before turning into his wolf.He ran straight into the woods.Elaine quickly pulled out a gun and followed him since he seemed to have picked up a scent.

'This could either lead me to Felix or someone working under him. Shadowfen wasn't exactly a picnic spot late at night.'She thought.She prayed atleast this time she would be right for both their sakes.

Elaine stopped chasing when she picked up a few more scents.Few turned out to be nearly 50.This would be running straight into a trap.She climbed up a tree and jumped on branches until she felt she was close enough to see them but far enough to reach.She methodically set up her rifle that she got for Christmas last year.

Drake could sense his mate close by. His wolf sped up anxious to get to her side.When a few more scents infiltrated his nose,he realized he wasn't alone.Not to mention he was heavily outnumbered.However,he charged on.His mate was his only concern and logic had long fled his mind.Soon enough the other wolves showed themselves and surrounded him.Drake stopped and looked at each one of them.
