Chapter 3

His answer was so straightforward and sudden that the air in the room filled with the scent of surprise and shock. Serena's eyes widened with bewilderment and she glanced up at the stranger. The moment her eyes landed on the tall, black haired man, her mind went blank and her heart stopped beating before it sped right back up. It felt like it was beating in her throat.

Her eyes glued to his form and Serena was sure she forgot how to blink. Or how to breathe for that matter. He was standing behind the couch, staring at Jacob almost nonchalantly. He was tall… really tall. His hair was black and his eyes deep, deep blue. Mesmerizing. Tight muscles moved under his shirt and something in him demanded everyone's attention.

"What are you talking about?" Jacob spat out, his body tensing, his eyes widening the slightest bit.

Darien could feel the tension growing in the room to an almost unbearable level. There was such a silence in the room like never before. Everyone was holding his breath waiting. All, one could hear, was the rain hitting the window.

The rustling of papers landing on the table in front of the couch broke the heavy silence.

"Our investigation shows 12 dead humans lately in the area." Kunzite said his voice like a thunder in the room. He stood now next to Darien. As the reports landed on the table, several pictures of the dead humans were laying on the table for everyone to see. But none seemed to even take a glance at them. The attention was on the Denvis Pack.

"Bad luck but what can I do about it?" Jacob said his eyes firmly on Darien.

"Stop playing stupid Murdoks. Even a puppy could recognize these wounds. Wolf attack." Nephrite stepped now forward as well, forming a wall of three person behind the couch, across the other pack.

Serena could barely hear the conversation over the rapid beat of her heart and her eyes just did not want to leave the form of the black haired Alpha. She could feel her pack getting themselves ready for a fight. Small, barely visible movements to prepare themselves. Almost invisible. The other Alpha was staring at Jacob, still Serena was sure he and his pack also recognized the small changes in the atmosphere.

"Go to hell Denvis and bring your justice with you." Jacob hissed out suddenly and hell broke out.

Growling burst out from every corner. Serena watched with wide eyes as out of thirteen wolves four made a jump towards the Alpha immediately. The rest of the Denvis pack was attacked by 2-2 wolves each but it was obvious the main force headed towards the Alpha himself. Maybe they thought the others wouldn't be such a problem once they managed to take out their leader.

Serena shirked back, frozen at her spot as she watched the fight. The silver haired man tossed Pete across the room and into the wall so easily it almost looked elegant. Pete landed on the ground with a thud. By the time Serena turned back to the fight, the silver haired man was already in a close combat with Pete's best friend, Sam. There were two other males nearby. One with a short blonde hair and another with long, wavy brown hair. They were fighting back to back to each other, not letting any chance to their opponents to deliver a surprise attack. They were fast and mechanical. The fourth wolf, a grey haired man, grabbed the two men running his way; one in each hand and ducking down he let them hit each other. They seemed to have everything under control. Serena took notice about all of this in less than three seconds. Her attention jumped back to the Alpha.

He had the grace to… smile? Was he really smiling as four werewolves ran towards him at the same time, all aiming at his throat?! Though… Serena just noticed that everyone was still in their human forms. Everything happened so fast that none had time to change. It didn't mean the fight was less fiery and destructive. In this room everyone was a werewolf, with inhuman speed and strength.

"What are you waiting for bitch?! Attack!" Jacob shouted at her suddenly, dragging her from her frozen state.

Serena looked up at her Alpha. He was standing where he had been, watching the fight intently. He was crunching, ready to change if things wouldn't turn out in his favor.

The Alpha's order pushed Serena one step forward but her submissive bones did not want to fight. Not unless she absolutely had to. Plus she didn't feel the slightest bit of need to protect this pack from its fate. They broke rules none was allowed to break. So no, she didn't want to fight but a direct order from an Alpha was not something that any pack member could easily ignore.

Serena gulped down a whimper as Pete hit the wall again; this time only inches from her. The sound of bones breaking registered in her mind. Pete wasn't going to get up from this hit anytime soon. The Denvis pack had everything under control it seemed. She was relieved. But why was she relieved? This was her pack getting beaten down. She should feel at least some kind of worry as it was obvious sooner or later it was going to be her body hitting the wall with such force maybe she won't ever again recover from it. Denvis delivered justice as he had promised and it meant painful death and punishment for everyone who broke the rules. Everyone.

She glanced up at the Denvis Alpha and she froze with sudden fear. Tanja, who had not been around when Denvis had arrived, now stood behind the black haired man in her wolf form and was ready to jump at him. Her fangs were bared as she snarled silently. The intention was clear; those fangs were meant to sink into the male's throat. If she managed to surprise him and bit down hard enough maybe that one single attack would be enough to kill him. Serena's heart started to beat rapidly as fear choked her. Fear, which was cold and heavy, like that of breaking a sweat in the middle of a bad dream and wanting to wake, needing to wake, and yet unable.

"Watch out!" Serena cried out, desperately hoping that she could warn the Alpha of the Denvis Pack. In the next moment deep blue eyes turned her way and Serena froze. Actually froze. Something in his eyes as they met hers, hypnotized her. She couldn't breathe, she couldn't think or move… or turn away. Suddenly she forgot where they were or what was happening around them. For her there was nothing else in the world just him, standing across the room looking at her with bright, surprised eyes.

Darien could almost say he was having fun as he threw yet another man over the couch. He had felt the anger and frustration coming from his pack members when they had realized that the majority of the enemy's force was attacking him. But he was an Alpha for a reason. He disarmed one of the men and then tossed another through the window with a loud crash breaking the glass with the body. Someone managed to punch him on the side but he easily ignored the pain. He grabbed the attacker around the neck and lifted him up. Using his body as a shield to block the fourth man's attack he threw away both men. They landed on a nearby table breaking it into pieces. As his attackers gathered themselves he quickly checked on his pack. Kunzite just finished off with his last attacker. Nephrite and Andrew kept everything under control as they all but played with their opponents and Tom was grinning cockily at the bloody man across him. Relaxed that his pack was controlling the fight, he turned back to focus on the two men coming against him again when a frantic cry caught his attention.

The voice was familiar and he recognized it immediately. It was the female who had called him earlier. It had affected him through the phone the first time he had heard her but it was nothing comprehending how it made him feel now. He turned the way the voice came from and his look collided with crystal blue ones. The world stopped exiting and he saw nothing else, heard nothing else but her.

The harsh pain on his shoulder shook him back into the reality in the next moment. A female wolf clung from his shoulder, her jaw holding on strong, her fang sank into his flesh. Kunzite and Nephrite let out a loud, angry growl and jumped his way but he was faster. Taking a hold on the female wolf he tore her away, ignoring the pieces of flesh coming with her fangs, and tossed her away. Blood ran down his arms as a mouthful of flesh now missed from his upper shoulder.

"Traitor!" He heard Jacob's voice as he turned back to the blonde woman. "Kill her!" Jacob shouted nodding toward the female.

Darien's wolf roared with such anger he could hear it echoing not just in his mind but all around him in the room. The change took place within seconds as his body seemed to ripple and his bones reformed themselves. Letting out another, very deadly growl he ran towards the female but he was too far away and his way was blocked by two other wolves. It took him less than a second to understand. The enemy had time to change as well.

Protect the female! He shouted into the minds of his wolves and they froze confused. Now! He was pissed. Every delay could cause her death.

He fought his way toward her but wolves kept jumping his way as if sensing his aim and doing everything to prevent him from reaching her.

Serena had had no idea what to do. She had winced and cried out as Tanja's fang had sunk into Denvis' shoulder. And now panic roared through her body. Jacob wanted her dead. She was going to be dead. This was it. Her life was over. Gritting her teeth she narrowed her eyes. She wasn't going to go down without a decent fighting though. She was a submissive but it didn't mean she couldn't fight. Preparing herself to change into her wolf form she took a deep breath, which rushed out of her lungs with a sudden pain in the next moment. Someone had knocked her with full force aside. She hit her head hard on the floor. She didn't even try to sit up as she felt the world going blurry around her. She was concussed, she knew it. Probably several of her ribs had also broken from the impact.

Taking a few careful breaths she blinked a few times depressing nausea and she finally managed to glance up. Only to see Pete running her way. Concussed or not she had to move if she wanted to live so she pushed herself up and winced in pain. She had to move but if her broken ribs pierced her lungs she would be just as dead. Realizing her chance of surviving this was running low she watched with wide eyes as Pete raced her way. Then… there was no Pete. A wolf with pure white fur stood in front of her. His fangs were dripping with blood. Pete's blood. Pete, who lay unconscious several feet from her on the floor.

"Are you all right?" She blinked to focus and saw a brown haired man crouching next to her. The man from Denvis' Pack. "Are you all right?" The man asked again forcefully. He reached out, probably to shake her shoulder and get out some kind of answer from her but he seemed to change his mind in the last minute and dropped his hands.

She was not all right to be honest, but she would live. Probably. So she nodded. Turning to the left her eyes widened again. "Jacob." She whispered hoping the guy and the white wolf would understand her meaning. She was not sure she could from more words. Her side was burning with pain.

Man and wolf turned at the same time toward their Alpha and hissed. Just as Denvis disarmed - or did he kill? - the last of the wolf, attacking him, Jacob in his wolf form stopped in front of him and the room went into silence.

"The fucking bastard." The brown haired man, still couching next to her, hissed.

There was a heavy silent around them. Most of the wolves were laying unconscious around the floor. The others, all badly injured, laid still, watching the final fight. The fight between Alphas. None was allowed to interrupt a fight between Alphas, and none did. Ever.

The two males circled each other. They hissed, growled and snapped towards each other every now and then trying to identify each other's strengths and weaknesses. Nothing else happened for a few more minutes but then, without warning the fight started.

Serena tensed immediately and her heart stopped beating every time Jacob managed to bit down on the black fur; every time Jacob's claws met the flesh of the other Alpha. But it was soon clear that Denvis had the fight under control. He made bigger injuries. He was faster. He could outthink Jacob.

The clear dominance soothed Serena's nerves and slowly the tension left her body. It was going to be all right. Denvis was going to win this, no question.

Suddenly a movement caught her attention at the side line. Mary… Mary was in her wolf form and slowly, carefully so that none noticed, walked up at the back of Denvis.

"No." Serena murmured but her voice was too weak for anyone to hear and she knew that none would think to watch out for Mary. If two Alphas were fighting none was allowed to interrupt. It was law, but this pack broke so many already and she knew Mary was going to attack, especially since it was obvious it was not going to be her mate winning this. Serena had to do something!

Gathering the energy, she was sure she didn't have, she pulled herself up and adrenalin kicked in. The pain faded away and in the next second she was running full speed toward Mary. Somewhere deep inside, she knew she was going to die. Taking into consideration how much pain she had been in just moments before and how light she felt herself now, it couldn't mean anything good. This was surly the moment before death when pain went away and everything was all right. At least she was going to use this moment for something good. She would reach Mary before she could attack Denvis. How odd she had no idea what his real name was. She was going to die with referring at this amazing male as the Denvis. Mary was ready to jump at the back of him when her body collided with her. Her human body, her badly injured body with the strong body of a werewolf. Fangs sank into her arm immediately and she lost conscious.

She didn't know how long she had been blacked out. She could feel her blood oozing out of her. Her body lay broken and even though her eyes were open she couldn't see anything. Everything was a white blur.

"-all right." She heard. But she had no idea who was talking or what it meant to say. Was it a female or a male voice? Someone she knew? Her mind was blank and she couldn't think.

"Hey… look at me." The voice demanded and she tried to move her head. Now there was a fraction of the world she could make out if she tried really hard. For example that the floor was colored scarlet with blood. Hers? She could also see Mary's dead body. Yes dead, not unconscious. She was in her wolf form, her chest open, her heart missing.

"Come on little one. Look at me." The voice came again. How very annoying.

Very slowly she turned and saw the brown haired man from before. He was kneeling in front of her. Then a deep, deep growl filled her ear. It should have terrified her, it was promising death, but it was somehow… calming. Strange. She blacked out again.

The next thing she came aware of was the most delicious smell she had ever felt, filling her nose. It was like a drug. Fresh with a hint of earth and dark chocolate. This heavenly smell was also stained with blood, taking away some of its alluring effect. Something warm wrapped around her body and the floor was moving. No… someone was carrying her. Gently and firmly. It felt amazingly good. Warm and protected. She liked it.

"-her conscious again." She heard a muffled voice.

"We need to get her to a doctor." A husky voice. The warmth around her trembled. The drug like smell's owner was carrying her. The worry in his voice touched her soul.

"Serena!" A new voice. A familiar voice. The man carrying her tensed as a dangerously low growl burst out from his chest.

"Don't hurt him." Serena whispered. The new voice's owner was Bran. She tried very hard to blink her eyes open and focus but she couldn't. The arms around her body tightened.

"Are you all right?" The deep voice asked and Serena forced herself to open her eyes again. She finally managed to focus on the face leaning over her. The Alpha of Denvis pack. His eyes were flashing with anger and worry. They were beautiful eyes.

"Bran…. Submissive." She winced. Speaking hurt like hell.

"We got to move her Darien. She needs a doctor. Now." Someone said in a very gently voice. Was there a scared animal around? That was the time people usually used those kind of tone.

Serena's sight blurred again and the voices seemed to go further away. He had a name. Serena smiled inwardly. He had a powerful name.

"Darien…" She murmured. The warmth surrounding her got more intensive.

"Yes. You are going to be fine. Don't you dare dying on me." His voice was husky and somewhere far far away, still she could feel his breath tickling her ear. She smiled. A true Alpha. He was ordering her around even when she was dying. That was her last thought before everything went black.
