My Eternal Mate ✓

Chapter Twenty Eight

LYRA

Though, I felt completely frozen, being in my wolf form meant that my wolf was dominant. As the black, angry wolf approached us, my wolf quickly stepped aside.

The unfamiliar wolf howled loudly, before his paws screeched on the floor as he tried to slow his pace. He instantly turned around and charged towards me again.

This time my wolf wasn't backing down or moving to sidestep him, instead, she growled loudly and was about to leap at the stranger when another wolf, my mate to be precise, stepped in front of me.

He must have been too busy examining me to ensure that I was alright when the unfamiliar wolf attacked him, making Alexander growl loudly.

I panicked when I watched the wolf bite down on my mate's fur, taking a chunk of it off with his canines. My wolf whimpered, in sadness before anger coursed through us. Without thinking, she advanced towards the unfamiliar wolf and bit down on the side of his neck, making the wolf in question snarl angrily, before he turned his attention to me.

He was injured, but not enough to make him back down. But before he could do anything, Alexander, despite being hurt, attacked him. I wanted to join in and help my mate, when a very familiar wolf held me back. Jaxon.

'Don't get involved,' he warned in the mind-link.

'Alexander is hurt. Let me go!' I cried, before I nudged him away, but Jaxon wouldn't budge.

'He has ordered that I keep you here. He's already hurt, Lyra. Don't make this worse.'

His words made my wolf growl in anger, and before Jaxon could say anything else, I pushed him away with as much force as possible, causing for the man to go flying across the area.

My wolf was not going to sit back and watch our injured mate take on a wolf, who seemed to be slowly accompanied by other wolves that were with him.

I glanced around in confusion, but was grateful when I saw Dyami and a couple of other wolves from the pack surround the area and take on the rest of the wolves.

With a growl, I leaped towards the unfamiliar wolf that was currently fighting my mate. Alexander was stronger, it was quite obvious, but he was injured. There was blood pouring out of his fur, and I had to muster all the courage to not distract him because of how worried I was.

Instead, I snook up on the unfamiliar wolf whilst he was fighting Alexander, and attacked him. Perhaps, it wasn't the brightest idea on my part, but in that moment, my Alpha's safety was all that my wolf could focus on. His safety was her priority.

The wolf howled, but I seemed to have caused enough pain, because before he could react to my attack, Alexander bit down on his neck with his large canines and teared a chunk of him, including his neck. It was enough to kill him. The man shifted and remained lifeless on the ground.

There was sounds of screaming and growling in the background, but all I could focus on was Alexander. After tearing the wolf apart and ensuring he was dead, my mate turned to glance at me, his eyes quickly raked up and down my body, as if to examine me if I was alright.

'Baby, you alright? Did he hurt you?' he asked in the mind-link, but his voice was extremely weak, making me frown at him.
