My Mate Changed Me.

Chapter Twenty: The Alpha's Fall

        Celine's P.O.V.

        I growled and winced as my face crunched up causing the lines of torn flesh to move. She looked pleased even though her arm looked a lot worse than my face felt. She cackled as I whipped my head to the side, sending blood flying to the ground, painting the green grass crimson. 

        "You can give up now." She taunted and I snarled, again wincing at the pain in my face. She saw this and her horrid laughter filled the air. The sun radiated off of her blond hair and I watched as she flipped it over her shoulder. Some of it stuck to her bloodied arm. "I forget that you've never really been in a battle. I should take it easy on a beginner but as revenge for my arm I'm going to enjoy giving you all I've got." Clara cackled as she ran toward me. I stood my ground and waited for her to get closer.

        As she neared me I reared back and used my hind legs to send her flying backwards. She landed on her back with a loud thud. She struggled to sit up as I ran toward her. She saw me coming but wasn't quick enough as I bit down into her leg and pulled madly. She screamed as I dragged her by her leg. My teeth hit bone and I shook my head to the side as I felt the bone snap. Clara cried out again and sat up as I dragged her around the floor. Her face inched closer to my neck and I felt her fangs break skin.

        I yelped and released her leg, spitting out the awful liquid that tainted my tastebuds.She relished in my taste though. Licking the crimson off of her bottom lip. Her eyes flashed to a darker shade and she put her weight onto the leg that I didn't tear open. I charged her again, feeling an uncomfortable sting ring from my neck. She glared at me as I got closer. Then we both jumped.

        We collided in the air with an awful sound that had me wincing and her hissing. We hit the floor and I felt the earth shake under us. Power was surging through me as I fought to keep up with her pace. She got ontop of me and dug her nail into my shoulders.

        "When I'm finished with you, I'm going to go back to that small little cage I have your mate in and we're going to play a little game. Called fucking and sucking." She said and I saw red. I pushed her off of me and sent her flying through the air. Before she hit the ground I tackled her and landed on top of her. My canines seemed to have grew longer as they peirced her throat.She gargled as her own blood filled her lungs. I bit down harder and her struggling stopped. I continued though and sank my teeth further into her neck until her head was fully severed from her body. 

        When I realized I had won and my enemy was dead I looked up toward the burning sun and howled as loud and as long as I could and felt the presense of my pack soon after. My breathing was heavy and my vision was blurred but I still saw a limping figure in front of me and my heart slowed.

        "Celine." His voice was soft yet gruff and I listened intently as my wolf pranced around inside me begging for another go at an enemy that no longer existed. "Hey, it's okay." He said stepping closer to me and I felt my wolf growl. Jem stayed back. I knew who he was. I knew he wouldn't hurt me, but that's not what I was worried about. I just tore apart a vampire and my body was screaming for more. "Don't be afraid." He said and I felt myself whimper. I am afraid. I'm afraid of myself. Why would I be craving another violent battle. That wasn't me. That's not who I was. Who I am. I shook my head slightly and felt more than heard the calls of my fellow wolves surround the grassy area. "Stay back." Jem yelled to them as they grew closer. I felt uneasy and took a defensive stance. Ready to face anyone who neared me.

        I watched threw a sheet of red as my pack grew around me. Their faces looked as though they were ready for a fight. I watched as a familiar pale balck wolf walked forward and my heart sank as his name raced through my head.

        'Jake.' I whimpered and felt him sigh.

        'Celine, I'm here. We're here for you.' He replied in his wolf form as his wife walked up beside him. They didn't know. They didn't know the nightmare that had taken place here. They didn't know that their only son had just been murdered. That their Alpha couldn't protect him. I whimpered loudly and Jake took a step forward and my whimper turned into a growl. He stopped and stared in confusion. I cried out. My human cry breaking through my wolf form as I changed. My frail form dropped to the floor in a naked heap and Jem was by my side in seconds. I smelt the blood on him as his body covered mine.

        "Celine." He said his voice etched in concern.

        "Chase." I cried into his chest. I cried long and hard and no one asked me why, no one dared try and take me from Jem's arms. They just stood and waited for their Alpha to rise.
