Bound To You

CHAPTER 30 (final chapter)

Associate or adversary?

Unknown POV

My body was feeble. Those annoying wolves injured me to the point I couldn't use my powers. As I ran through the forest, with the little strength I could muster, a ball of fire was fired at me.

I dodged it by the skin of my teeth and it hit a nearby tree. The tree never caught fire. I then knew instantly that they were using magic. I've got to move quicker! I thought.

I bit my wrist and sucked my own blood, willing my wounds to heal. They didn't. Unknowingly, I tripped on a tree root and landed on my fractured arm. 

I wanted nothing more than to cry out in anguish but I held it in, not wanting the wolves to find me.

I was fast but with these injuries, I would never get back home in time. I needed to find father and ask him to let his guards help me. Even if I had to lie to do so.

I tuned in to my surroundings and listened to how far the wolves were. I didn't bet on hiding from them and I was nowhere near a river to hide my scent.

As I got where they were I hopped up and ran. I ran faster than before, numbing my senses. By doing this I couldn't tell where the wolves where or if they were catching up to me.

Soon enough, my house came into view. I ran inside and ran up to my mother's room. The doors weren't locked.

Now that I think about it, they weren't any guards posted around the house either. I felt a chill run down my spine.

I tuned back into my sense and the moment I did I get a presence behind me. I turned around quickly, only to be hit in the head and knocked unconscious.

Katalina's POV

We were on his trail. We knew he was going to head to his house and try to persuade his father to get an army to fight for him.

Turns out his name was Lazarus Di Vampir and he belonged to one of the three great royal families in the vampire world.

I for one thought ahead. Veronica, a vampire friend of mine was able to get in contact with Lazarus' father and gave him the rundown of what he'd been up to.

His father was not happy, to say the least. Lazarus had run away from home to become king and wreak havoc on all supernatural races. Due to his father being against it, he had his son locked up for a period of time before he escaped.

His father also suggested that we leave the 'catching part' to him so we did. We were to chase, Lazarus, into the direction of his home and then let him enter and his father would knock him out and tie him up.

As we wait outside for the time to head in I pet the soft pelt of my mate's fur. The light came on inside the house and that was our signal to head in.

Andre, Warren, Steph and a few other guards in which the alpha said would accompany us, were in their wolf forms. Nivea, Catherine, Luca, and I walked in first as the wolves followed behind.

We headed up to the bedroom slowly, not knowing what to expect. Andre jumped in front of me and pushed the door open with his front paw and entered before the rest of us.

He was oozing dominance, and if it weren't for the situation we were in, I would be jumping his bones right now. 

'We can do that later luna,' he said into my mind as he winked at me and tried to smile in his wolf form. I smiled and laughed in my mind.

I looked at Lazarus who was now laying down on the bed in the room, tied up, and unconscious. His wounds were beginning to heal gradually.

 "Thank you, sir Vampir. I am grateful for your help."

"No need to thank me. It's the least I can do, seeing as how my son has ruined your life in such a way."

"He hasn't ruined my life. He's actually made us stronger."

"I'm glad to see you're being optimistic about this entire situation, daughter of the goddess of power, but my son is a menace to the supernatural and to those who prove to be more powerful than him."

"So what are you going to do with him?" said Vea, taking the words out of my mouth.

"He will be put to death."

"What?! Wait, you can't do that! He has to pay for what he's done! Death would be too good of an end for him!" yelled Catherine. She surprised me, but she too had said what I had been thinking.

"I apologize ladies, but this is the way in which we do things here. He is my son and I want nothing more than to keep him alive, but if the lives of others are in danger because of him, then he must cease to exist."

We all fell silent. None of us knew of what to say to the father who stood above his child, talking about killing him.

"I'm sorry." said a soft deep voice. It then continued in a louder tone. "I'm sorry for thinking that I could be king of other races. I want to be with mother and the unborn baby. I want to live with you too! Father please, don't kill me!"

It was Lazarus who had spoken. We all looked over to see his face wet and eyes streaming tears. It was a sad sight for soft hearts and mine had grown a bit hard. His father's too.

"Lazarus, do you promise that from now on, you will not do anything to put others in harm or harm others?"

"Yes!"

"Do you promise to not let harm befall on those around you and those close to you?"

"I do father! I do!"

"Then accept this blood oath and know that the day you forsake these promises, it'll be the last day you live."

Lazarus nodded his head. We all stood there in awe as a scroll came out of nowhere and Lazarus bit his lip and the blood that came out was drawn to the scroll.

After that was done, the scroll disappeared. Lazarus then spoke once more. "I will be spending the rest of my days behind bars and repenting for the lives that I have taken."

I nodded and said "We leave the rest to you pops," he looked at me with brows furrowed. I laughed and said, "Just a joke, I don't mean nothing of it."

We all walked out and headed back home. We had our wounds inspected and everyone went their separate ways.

*

It's been a month since that entire incident and my powers have stopped working. I can only change into a wolf and have the powers of a wolf.

I'm not mad about, I'm glad. Now I can lead a happy and peaceful life with my brother and my mate.

Vlad found his mate and I'm so happy that I have a sister-in-law now. Just two weeks after coming here he met her while training.

Her name is Mia and she's the daughter of an alpha as well. She no longer has a pack since it was a small one that was wiped out by the rogues. She was brought to our pack at a young age.

Warren also found his mate and had a bit of an issue with Jessica. When Jess was told that War had found his mate, she left without saying a word.

War wanted to go after her but we convinced him not to. It would like extremely bad to have your mate but go off chasing a human.

As for me, I've been sick. I can't keep food down and I puke almost every morning. Everyone keeps telling me I'm pregnant but I know I am. I just keep telling them I'm not.

They keep telling me I should go see the pack doctor or whatever. My mate knows as well, so I just let Vea and Cathy ramble on about me not caring about the future of my 'maybe' child.

Jokes on them, I'd be a great mom!
