Wolf you Up! - Chapter 165

Light raised her hands above the couple who were peacefully asleep on the bed, but a movement made her pause. Winnie stirred in his sleep. The omega male wriggled and pressed his body even closer to his alpha who tightened his embrace. One of Krasny’s arms wrapped around his hips. The other that served as a pillow for the younger werewolf folded back so the dominant’s hand stroked the sand-colored hair werewolf.

Light watched the scene quietly. As soon as she was sure that they were still deeply asleep, she brought down her dagger.

When the blade came into contact with Krasny’s skin, the protection spell that the alpha had placed on Eden’s advice activated.

A dome appeared and the backlash of the impact threw the former Skinwalker against a wall.

Light fell on the ground but immediately stood up, gritting her teeth. She looked up and saw Krasny kneeling on the bed in the middle of a golden dome. Winnie was in his arms, scared.

The omega had no idea what was going on. The alpha pulled him slightly away from his chest and looked down so their eyes met.

“Hey, Babe. Whatever happens, don’t get out of our bed, do you hear me?”

“What is happening? Who is this woman?”

The omega started shaking and clung to Krasny’s clothes, who put his hand on his cheek tenderly to calm him down.

“Hey, hey. Everything will be alright. Don’t worry. I’m gonna get rid of her so we can go back to sleep and wake up tomorrow to continue the trial, okay?”

“But what’s going on?”

The dominant shushed him with a kiss. In the room, the black energy fog produced by Light grew thicker. It had already covered the entire floor and only the dome provided their protection.

“I’ll explain as soon as we get rid of her.”

Krasny peeled off Winnie and get off the bed to walk up to the edge of the dome. The dominant reached into his sweatpants’ pocket and pulled out a folded sheet of paper, which he waved between his index and middle fingers with a defiant smile.

He threw it to the ground without taking his eyes off Light. The witch was watching his every move.

The paper passed through the dome and touched the black fog. As if it had touched acid, the paper began to burn. However, just before it disappeared, the witch could see the rune that was written on and her eyes widened.

The moment after, the window exploded under the impact of Eden’s body which crossed it and the omega landed on the ground. His body was glowing with a golden sheen as his protection skill was activated.

“You got to try harder if you want to come after us, Light.”

EARLIER IN THE DAY

“If you’re sorry, get your butt off this nest. I’ve got naughty plans for tonight and you’re wasting them!”

Winnie who didn’t expect such a response burst out laughing and did as the blond had asked.

Eden looked at him getting up and fixing the clothes he was wearing which were way too big for him. He looked calmer and a smile curved the blond’s lips as he saw the sand-colored-haired werewolf striding to the door.

Winnie put his hand on the handle and stopped. His head dropped to the floor and strands of hair fell in front of his eyes, obscuring his face.

“Con-Congratulations for your bonding, Bloodhood. And also, Th-Thank you!”

He opened the door and left the room almost running to get away as quickly as possible without looking back. Eden chuckled.

“I hope you can handle him, Krasny.”

He shook his head in amusement and got up from the floor. He took a step forward and, suddenly, dizziness made him teeter. Eden barely avoided falling and a shrill noise echoed in his head.

It wasn’t the first time he had heard that sound. The first time was when he was in the magic dimension with Light and she was trying to break through the defenses of his magic dome.

The screen appeared before his eyes.

[WARNING

Presence of dark energy. Use Perception to plan a counterattack strategy.? YES/NO]

Perception. Eden remembered that this skill allowed him to sharpen his senses and his instincts to develop a strategy against his enemy. He didn’t know what to expect but knew that the system always interfered to prepare them. As soon as he gave his answer, something unexpected happened.

Eden’s froze in place. In front of his eyes, the screen showed him a vision of the future that might happen.

He saw Light step out of the shadows and stand, knife in hand, over Krasny and Winnie. The blade entered the alpha’s body through his jugular. It wouldn’t have been lethal to him who was a werewolf if it had been a normal blade.

As soon as it was in the dominant’s body, the blade changed. The handle split into dozens of energy whips that wrapped around the alpha’s neck.

Next to him, Winnie started to scream. The omega had been woken up by his alpha’s sudden movement and the first thing he saw was the blade stabbing the dominant’s neck. His eyes were wide-eyed in surprise as his mouth opened and closed as he tried to breathe. Blood was leaking from his lips, but that wasn’t the worst part.

The male omega saw the whips wrap around his alpha’s neck and the omega’s tears began to flow. He understood what was going to happen and the thought of losing his mate drove him to despair.

The werewolf’s cries alerted the beta of Red Orbs who was on patrol because he knew his leader was in the middle of a ritual. Krasny had asked for guards to be stationed not far from his room.

Even if he was confident to pass the trial easily, he didn’t want to leave any room for bad luck and hurt his omega.

The beta ran towards the bedroom sending a link to the nearest fighters to join him. He opened the door and a whip of black energy pierced his chest. He spat blood as his eyes focused on the scene unfolding before him.

Winnie was struggling above the ground held by Light who was strangling him. The beta turned his head to the bed and his eyes widened when he saw his leader and friend on his bed, his head severed from his body.

He lost consciousness when several whips pierced through Winnie’s body. The fighters who arrived at the same time suffered the same fate as the male omega. In just a few seconds, the leader of Red Orbs, his future Luna, and his close men who lived with him in the residence were all executed by Light.

The vision stopped and Eden pressed a trembling hand to his mouth. The omega couldn’t believe what the screen had shown him. How was this possible? It had taken no less than a few seconds for the witch to kill the strongest fighters of the pack that had just joined their side.

He fell to his knees on the floor, his whole body shaking, and at the same time, Glen opened the door, panting. The alpha has run to meet him as soon as he felt his mate’s distress. He rushed to take Eden in his arms and hugged him tightly.

“Hey… Shhh… I’m here, my love. Calm down. I’m here.” He pressed the blond omega’s head against his chest and gently stroked his hair.

They stayed like that for a few minutes. The dominant faltered for a moment to release his pheromones because they were in another alpha’s room and finally chose another solution. Glen wrapped his arms around his mate and lifted him to lead him outside. The couple walked like this, oblivious to the stares of the Red Orbs werewolves they passed and left the villa.

They reached outside and Silver Bloodhood who was talking with the leaders of Green Lake turned to join them as soon as he saw his son and his mate.

“What happened?” asked the alpha, worry I. His voice. He put the palm of his hand on Eden’s forehead, which was drenched in sweat.

“I don’t know. I felt his distress through the Fated bond and when I got there he was already like that.” Glen looked down at his mate.

His breathing had calmed down but the sudden rush of emotion had drained him of his strength. The omega smiled to show that he was feeling better and patted his alpha’s chest to make him understand that he wanted to get off.

Glen gently put him down and helped him up. All the werewolves present had turned to Eden, concerned, just like Connor who had waited in the car during the meeting of the pack leaders.

Everyone was waiting for an explanation and the blonde looked up at the three dominants of Green Lake. He didn’t know how to tell them what he had seen.

“What happened?” Glen asked once again.

Eden heard him and frowned. He thus realized his alpha hadn’t seen the System’s screen. For a while now, the system had shared everything with Glen, but not this time. Eden opened his mouth and paused.

He thought back to his vision and how quickly Light had killed all Red Orb’s best fighters and their leader. He remembered that he no longer knew anything about Glen’s curse other than that he must not be exposed to dark energy or he would die immediately.

The words stuck in Eden’s throat. He stared at his mate with an expression the latter had never seen and his heart sank. He swallowed hard and looked away.

“I have a bad feeling for the ritual tonight. I think we should be ready for something.”

“What?” Caius yelled out. “What do you mean? I knew it was a bad idea to leave my son with that rascal!”

He was already rushing away but Cyrus’ hand stopped him. Caius turned around and glared at his brother but the leader of Green Lake was unimpressed.

“What makes you say that, Eden? Explain to us properly so that we can understand. This is my nephew. I don’t want anything to happen to him so take the time you need to calm down, but tell us in detail what’s going on.

“I…” Eden’s voice trailed off. “I can’t… I can’t explain properly but I think we have to be prepared for any scenario tonight.”

Eden refused to look in the direction of his mate. After this vision and realizing that Glen hadn’t seen it, he couldn’t shake the feeling of fear. He didn’t want his alpha to be in Light’s presence.

He didn’t feel like that during the fight against Wyatt and didn’t know if it was because they were bonded, but the fear was overwhelming. His mate couldn’t be here tonight.

The werewolves around him exchanged wary glances, but with all they had learned over the past few days about Skinwalkers, Bloodhood’s past, and the enemies that lurked in the shadows, Cyrus decided to trust him.

“Alright, Eden. We will follow you.”

Connor stared at his childhood friend’s mate as the latter exchanged a look far too long to be insignificant with his father. Silver Bloodhood’s face displayed an unreadable expression.

Night had almost fallen and the leader of Bloodhood walked over to Glen and Eden. The alpha looked at his mate sitting inside Connor’s car. The male omega was back to his normal state but his gaze still had this unusual cloudiness.

Silver put a hand on the shoulder of the long black-haired werewolf who turned to him upon feeling the touch.

“Sorry, Son. But it looks like trouble has erupted between that pack you took care of a while ago and some rogues.”

“What?”

“I don’t know what happened but it looks bad. I’d like you to go handle things over there before it boils over.”

The dominant frowned and glanced at Eden. His jaw clenched but he didn’t protest.

“I will take go there to calm them down and come back here as soon as possible.” He leaned down to place a kiss on his omega’s forehead and walked away.

Silver waited quietly until Glen rides his motorbike and drive away, then the leader turned to his son.

“It’s done, Eden, I did what you asked me. I sent Glen away as you wanted. Now you explain to me what’s going on exactly.”

“I’m also curious to know,” interjected Connor who was seated up front behind the wheel. “Because I grew up with Glen and I already know he’s going to be pissed when he finds out you lied to him and took him away from here.”

“You knew?” Eden says with a bitter laugh.

“I saw yours and your father’s look earlier. I knew that you were talking by link. What’s going on Eden?”

“It’s Light. She will be here tonight. She will try to kill Krasny.” He heaved a sigh. “I used my perception and saw Light’s plan. She will attack Krasny in his sleep and decapitate him, then she will kill his men and Winnie of course. All this in seconds.”

“Why did you take Glen away then? It’s our best asset against Light…”

“He can die. If he is in contact with dark energy, he can die,” Eden cut off.

“I thought he could avoid contact with Light’s energy with one of his skills?” Connor asked.

“I know this is insane. I didn’t feel like that during the Skinwalkers fight. But seeing how Light got rid of all those fighters in a matter of seconds, I-I don’t want to lose him…” His voice cracked and Silver crossed his arms. The leader disapproved and wanted to call the dominant back.

“Eden…”

“Don’t, Dad. Please. Just for this time, indulge me. I want him away. Just for tonight. I have a plan and I promise everything will be handled without any loss.”

“Then let us hear that plan so we can execute it perfectly because I would need at least that for following you in your madness. An angry Glen, I can tell you it’s nothing funny to handle.”

“I was hoping you would say something like that, Connor.. Because my plan depends on you… And your Skinwalker powers.”
