Wolf you Up! - Chapter 80
A wave of cold anger washed over Glen’s mind. The alpha had seen the witch attack his mate and she had almost succeeded. He dared not imagine what would have happened if he had arrived a little later.
Who was this woman and why did she want to attack him and Eden so much? He had no idea, but there is one thing he did know for sure. He wouldn’t let her touch his mate. Not even a strand of hair.
The wolf looked back and watched the omega’s chest rise and fall with the rhythm of his breathing. Facing the dominant, the witch was busy venting her anger.
“What did you do? How did you protect the King from my attack? You are a werewolf you can’t use magic, how did you do it?”
As she finished asking her question, Glen saw all the energy whips in the room suddenly regroup. His body tensed as he felt the woman was about to prepare a new onslaught and, since she was trying to slowly kill Eden by the time he arrived, he knew that each of her blows would be meant to kill them or, at best, seriously injure them.
Glen looked at the screen and read the last system’s message. He understood that he could control the dashboard with his mind. He just needed to focus on the right command to interact with the system too. With that in mind, the dominant thought of his skills.
The holographic screen changed and gave way to a new message displaying the details of his skills.
[Healing (Active, Class Divine)
Domination (Active, Class Divine)
Protection (Active, Class Divine)
Blessing of the Goddess (Active, Class Divine)
Elixir of the Moon Goddess (Active, Class Divine)
Item: Moon protection mark 5/5]
He remembers the effects of two of them and an idea came to him.
‘Is it possible to combine the effects of my Moon protection Mark with a skill?’ He thought hopefully.
After all, Eden’s system gave them everything they needed to survive, so it might as well test to know its limits and the possibilities available as soon as possible.
[Choose the skill to combine.]
‘Domination’ formulated the wolf in his head as the witch formed spears from the whips she had gathered. Several dozen dark black spears materialized, pointing at the two werewolves. Glen had to make a choice. If he chose to use another of his Moon protection mark to protect his omega, it would force him to stay close to Eden and limit his movements, because, as he understood, the dome protected the owner when the mark was activating.
That’s why he asked if it was possible to combine his skill with the Moon Protection Mark. The latter being a very effective defensive item to nullify the witch’s powers, by combining it with an offensive skill such as domination, he hoped to create an effective skill to counterattack.
[Skill successfully combined.
Obtained ‘Lunar Mist’ attack x1
For one hour, the skill of ‘Domination’ will be transformed into ‘Moon Mist attack.’
Do you want to use it?]
This idea had come from a simple guess, but even if this witch didn’t react like the werewolves, ‘Domination’ was going to deploy the effects of the Moon protection in the room and fight back the spears that were ready to fall on them and pierced their bodies. Since this witch didn’t expect them to be protected against her magic, she thought they were helpless. It meant, she would even less expect the dominant to fight back with a magic attack.
Glen had barely finished his plan when the black spikes rushed straight at Eden and him. Without any hesitation, the alpha answered the system’s question. What he felt was different from the ‘Domination’ effects.
Mixed with his pheromones, a golden mist dispersed around him, thickening and gaining volume. When the mist came into contact with the spears that were hurtling at the two mates, the latter disintegrated into a crackling sound under the witch’s furious gaze. Her face was contorted with anger that made his features look monstrous.
Mist filled the room, and all the spears disappeared. The lunar mist was about to reach the young woman when black energy escaped from her body in a thick fog that she made grow. When the lunar mist and the black energy made contact, their effects canceled each other’s power filling the white room with a sizzling sound. The witch glared at Glen.
“You are a werewolf, how can you use magic?” She yelled out, angry.
Between them, the room was back to a bright and pure white. The haze that was supposed to last for an hour had been canceled out by dark energy and that wasn’t a part of the dominant’s plan.
Back to square one, Glen didn’t have a long-term strategy yet. If the fight lasted, the fact that his only effective skill could only be used four times put him at a clear disadvantage. For now, the witch wasn’t aware of this fact and the element of surprise, therefore, played in his favor. The witch was indeed wary. She was pondering her next move, just like him. But it wasn’t going to last.
Their enemy would soon attack again and after four more attacks, he and Eden would be defenseless and in danger. He had to find a solution as soon as possible.
The Dominant knew that physical and frontal attacks would have no effect due to the witch’s body materializing and disappearing, obviously at will. That was his problem. How to make his opponent’s body, sensitive to his attacks? As he was thinking, he saw the witch’s demeanor suddenly change.
Her face turned in all directions as if she was looking for something.
“Would it have been too much to ask to have my way with these Skinwalkers? Always trying to mingle in my business. They know, yet, that they cannot do anything against me.”
Her body went translucent and Glen felt the suction effect he had already grown accustomed to. And nothing more. He had not regained consciousness. He was still in the white room.
The black and white wolf looked behind him and saw that his mate was still on the ground. He redirected his gaze on the witch who was more and more translucent. Conversely, the fog around grew bigger and thicker. When it took on human size, it began to take shape and Glen saw a black wolf appear before his eyes. Its body fully materialized the moment the witch disappeared completely telling it.
“I’ll accept their invitation, I’ll let you take care of them, Black.”
With a snarl, the wolf answered the witch, Glen had witnessed this change of situation and he didn’t know what to do. The Wolf was born from the witch’s mist. Yet its body now looked like that of any wolf he had ever seen. Could he attack it like a regular wolf?
The only way to check the fact was to make the first move, but he didn’t want to let his mate alone and leave him vulnerable.
“Who is defenseless? Please don’t look down on me!”
The alpha’s head snapped back and saw the blond who had just regained consciousness and straightened up. He still looked a bit confused but he was conscious. The dominant jumped back and his muzzle touched the omega’s cheek with a tender gesture. With a faint smile, Eden scratched his mate’s neck.
“I’m fine, stop worrying. My skin is tougher than you think. She won’t get rid of me that easily.” His gaze hardened as he uttered the last form as the huge black wolf advanced towards them, baring its fangs.
Eden leaned on Glen to stand and was getting ready for the fight.
“No, there’s no way I’m leaving you alone on this one,” said Eden in an angry voice. “We don’t know anything about this one, we won’t be too many to face it.”
The alpha paused, disturbed by the fact that since waking up, his mate had been responding to his every thought. Was it an effect of the Fated Bond skill he had activated earlier?
[Exactly!] He heard the clear voice and teasing tone of his mate inside his head and the dominant turned his head towards him.
[Calm down, it’s just a link. You’ve never experienced that because you didn’t grow up in your pack, but it’s part of the way werewolves communicate with each other. Now that’s said if you don’t mind…]
He stopped as the black wolf charged straight at them. Glen was about to intervene, however, Eden stepped up and grabbed the wolf who had just jumped from under his fur. With a smooth gesture, he sent the wolf across the room. The wolf hit the ground hard before standing up, shaking its head.
[I’m a little pissed because of what this lap dog and his mistress did to me so, don’t butt in, ok?]
The blond had clearly regained his faculties. The dominant didn’t want to spoil his mate’s fun, but he was still worried. He focused on the system inside his mind to make the right screen appear.

His mate’s stats were back to normal, but he couldn’t shake his worries off his chest. The black wolf was gauging Eden up from a distance when the alpha put out a paw to walk towards his omega. The blond turned and glared at him. The gaze sent shivers down the dominant’s spine, who instinctively recoiled and sat down with the unpleasant feeling of being a naughty bow-wow who had just
rumble.
As his tail moved up and down in time with his impatience, the alpha watched the fight between his mate and the black wolf. The blond had the advantage and watching the blows he traded restlessly with his opponent, he noticed something he hadn’t been paying attention to.
The wolf pounces on Eden and manages to make her fall on the ground. He scratched his chest and the clothes he was wearing ripped. Before he could start again, the omega crossed his arms to defend himself and with a kick in the abdomen he put his opponent down before jumping back to his feet.
The wolf who had just been pushed back for another time was growing impatient. The more he hit, the less effect his attacks seemed to have. And that’s exactly what Glen had noted. Eden took off the tattered t-shirt that hampered her movements and the alpha squinted to observe her mate’s body. The lightly tanned skin was completely immaculate.
Neither bruise nor injury stained her despite all the blows exchanged since the start of the clash. The dominant scoffed and shook his head, for he finally understood what was going on.
Eden now had all her abilities, including her ‘Healing’ which was the skill responsible for her rapid regeneration. If the blow dealt to him was not fatal, he healed automatically.
Now that he knew that, he could relax and enjoy the show. That’s what he said to himself as he stared at the profile of his mate who was focused on his opponent. Glen’s eyes slid from the omega’s face and neck to his now exposed bust. His gaze lingered a bit, betraying the turn his thoughts were taking upon seeing his mate’s body, now that the stress had subsided.
The alpha gulped then snapped out of his thoughts just in time to make eye contact with his mate who turned to his enemy with a strange smile on his lips.
[You know I could hear that too, don’t you?]
