Unbreakable➳ Lahey [book 2]

All Bark and No Bite

Isaac and Erica wasted no time. As soon as Daire's daggers hit the ice the two werewolves were prepped for attack. Scott let out a growl when Erica's claws dug into his shoulders trying to slam him into the zamboni. Knowing that Scott could handle his own against the she-wolf, Daire brought her attention to Isaac. 

"Already out of weapons? Not much of a huntress are you?" he snarled, barring his fangs.

Daire just let a sly grin make its way onto her face, " Who says I'm a huntress?" 

Letting her new found supernatural strength take the lead, she lifted her leg and kicked him right in the gut. Isaac doubled over, and gasped for air. Without letting him recover, Daire clasped her hands together and made contact with the back of his neck. Forcing the werewolf into the ice. 

Daire leaned down so Isaac could see her face, " Your all bark and no bite, huh?" 

A low growl rumbled in Isaac's throat but he didn't move. Getting up and brushing off her jeans, Daire glanced over at Scott who slid a defeated Erica over to Isaac. 

"Don't you get it? He's not doing this for you! He's just adding to his own power, its all about him!" Scott started, "He makes you feel like he's given you some kind of gift, but all he's done is turn you into a bunch of guard dogs!" at that the two unconscious werewolves landed at Derek's feet. 

"It's true," Daire looked up at Derek who began to walk towards them, "It is about power."

Daire pulled out her claws and let out a warning growl as Derek approached. His eyes glowing red.  He shoved past her, leaving claw marks on her arms and walked straight to Scott. Letting his claws slice through Scott's flesh. He continued to attack him, pushing him to the ground and placing his foot against Scott's wind pipe. 

"Down boy,"

Derek looked up almost shocked to see Daire, unaware that she was now standing next to him. 

Daire held his eye contact, her gaze menacing, "Walk away." 

Derek did as he was told and lifted his boot off of Scott's throat.

Scott immediately began gasping for air and Daire helped him up. Letting him lean against her shoulder.

Boyde jumped off of the zamboni and approached them. 

Scott looked over at the dark skinned boy, "Don't, you don't want to be like them."

"Your right," Boyde lifted up his shirt to reveal the bite mark on his torso, "I wanna be like you."

With that he walked away to join Derek's retreating pack. Leaving Daire and Scott wounded and alone on the ice.

"Why isn't it healing?" Scott asked for the umpteenth time as he and Daire entered the clinic.

"Because it's from an alpha," the two of them looked up to see Deaton standing next to a dead body. 

Daire lifted an eyebrow in confusing while Scott visibly sputtered trying to come to some logical conclusion.

 "I think it's time we finally have that talk," 

And Daire couldn't agree more.

.....so I haven't dropped off the face of the Earth, sorry that it has taken me so long to update and that it's such a short one.

Let's just say it's been a hectic couple of months and I just didn't really have the motivation to update.

I hope you all have been well, and I promise I'll update again soon.

Thank you for being patient and amazing readers.
