life as a werewolf Remastered (book 2)

The battle

"If you want, I can take care of Jack, and you can take care of Mitch," Phantom says

"Yeah, I can't fight my best friend. Just make sure he comes back to his senses," I say

"I'll try. Don't die," Phantom says

"I won't. Let's do this," I say

I sprint towards Mitch, his figure blurring as he swiftly evades my attack. "Pathetic, you have to do better than that," Mitch taunts, the air crackling with the anticipation of the battle

"You're going to pay for all the pain you made me go through," I say

"I'd like to see you try. You'll always be a weak loser," Mitch says

I form a sword of fire. "I wish I burned you at your party now," I say

"You didn't because you didn't want to hurt people. I know you're not a killer. You don't have the guts to hurt me," Mitch says

I rush at Mitch, and I plunge the sword into his body. "You're wrong. I know what I'm capable of, and I won't let you tell me otherwise," I say

"I was going to show you mercy, but I'm gonna kill you now," Mitch says, grabbing me and throwing me at a wall.

I struggle to stand up. "I can't die here," I think.

"What's wrong? Am I being too rough?" Mitch says, standing over me

"No, not even close," I say, throwing a fireball at his other eye.

"Cheap shot," Mitch says, covering his eyes.

I look at Phantom, and I see he was able to get Jack under control, so I run over to him. "Hey, were you able to get Jack under control?" I say

"Yeah, I did, but it seems Jack needs some time to recover, so it's just us for now," Phantom says

"I'll watch Jack. You take care of Mitch," I say

"Alright, good job for standing your ground against an alpha. Not many people can do that," Phantom says, rushing towards Mitch.

Jack starts to wake up. "James, is that you? What happened?" Jack says

"You were under some kind of mind control and forced to attack us," I say

We see Carl aim a gun at us. "You were not supposed to live through that," Carl says

"For a smart guy, you're dumb to pull a gun on me," I say

"Why's that I have the upper hand in this situation?" Carl says

I throw a fireball at his gun, and it flies out of his hand. "that's why, so now I'm the one in control here," I say

I see Mitch get thrown next to Carl. "Well, it looks like your plan to ambush us has failed," Phantom says behind us.

"You, you monster, you've stolen my son from me," Carl's voice trembles with a mix of anger and hurt.

"James is not your son. He's my brother, and you tried to make him forget all about me and his real family," Phantom says

"Fine, until our paths cross again," Carl's voice resonates with unwavering determination as he hurls a smoke bomb. The room is instantly engulfed in a thick cloud of smoke, and when it finally disperses, Carl is nowhere to be seen, leaving only Mitch in his wake.

Jack rises, his voice brimming with a seething rage. "You did this to me. You will pay for what you've done," he declares, his every word laced with a palpable intensity. He steps towards Mitch with a determined stride.

Jack finishes Mitch off, and he walks back to us. "Well, that was something," I say

"That felt great. I feel so much better," Jack says

"Now, we need to get out of here," Phantom says

"How are we going to do that?" Jack says

"I got that taken care of," Phantom says, opening a portal.

"Since when can you do that?" I say

"I've always been able to do this. How did you think I followed you everywhere?" Phantom says

We go through the portal and end up back at the cabin. "Thank you guys for saving me," Jack says

"We told you we got your back," I say

"Jack, what happened to you? Why are you a wolf?" Wren says

"We'll explain in the morning. We've been through a lot," I say, returning to my human form.

"Alright, get some rest," Wren says

I lay on the bed, and I fell asleep immediately.
