Chapter 159
Raizel presses the heels of his feet into the soil as if expecting the response, readying himself from the impact and catches Landonâs snapping jaw with both hands.
His jaw ticks in annoyance. Landon lashes around, attempting to snap his jaw around Raizelâs fingers but heâs too strong. Raizel pulls on his jaw to the point of it being painful. The snarls turning into whiney sounds of defeat.
Hestia screams along with the other wolves when Raizel throws Landonâs body tumbling to the ground.
The wolves around us stepping back when Landonâs form skids across the mud before rolling over to his back. His wolf shakes his head to clear off any damage. Frustration and embarrassment burdening his shoulders when he tries to lunge at him again.
The screams were deafening. Most of the audience taking refuge behind the trees or rushing back into the buildings. Hestiaâs hands fly to her bulging stomach. She canât move. The intensity of Landonâs wolf rendering her motionless. The mark on her neck and the oath to be Luna holding her down in her spot like chains. It was her duty to calm Landon down. To bring him back from his adrenaline rush and soothe his beast. As the first attacker was Landon, it had to be him who made amends.
The strings of snarls rumbling from Landonâs chest trigger Chamberlain. He moves harder against Isaac and Emerson. Taking advantage of the chaos and pushes himself off the ground to his feet.
Emersonâs hold on Chamberlain loosened from the surprise of Landonâs outburst.
âHold him down!â
He shouts, shaking off the slight surprise. Everyone was so focused on Raizel and Landon that they momentarily forgot about the task on hand.
Isaac slams his right shoulder into Chamberlainâs chest while Emerson gets him in a choke hold.
Squeezing his bicep around his neck, he cuts off Chamberlainâs air supply until his face goes increasingly red. His veins rise from his temples as he tries to breathe in. The desperate flailing of his body increasingly aggressive. He doesnât even care that the silver chains binding his wrists are burning his skin. The chucks of flesh forming around the binds red and patchy. He knew that if he didnât escape now, that he was never going to get out of this. He was caught and the only option was to fight his way out.
No matter how much he tries to push against their hold, he canât break free. Isaac and Emersonâs tight grip around him made no room for escape. With a few sporadic breaths, he begins to slow.
His eyelids start to droop over his eyes and the struggles come to a sudden stop. Chamberlainâs muscled body goes limp in their hold. His rapid breathing falling into a steady pattern. Emerson and Isaac share a look with one another. Turning to the driver whoâd handed them the chains, Isaac frowns.
âGet a unit in here. Weâre leaving now.â
âLike hell you are!â
Benicio protests. Heâd been stunned by how the events played out but snapped out of his daze by the time Chamberlain had fallen.
Hestiaâs panic stricken face looks to him. Sophie is by her side, her hand around Hestiaâs wrist yanking her back. A protective stance over the pregnant Luna.
BenÃcio notices how his Alpha isnât doing so well against Raizel. He can see just how this fight would end. He had to interfere.
Chapter 159
seen before when heâs about to slash his claws over Raizelâs back but its like a switch was flickered. I jump between them, catching his forearm in my hand and twisting it over his back. He lets out a howl of pain. His wolf whimpering out and I can feel with the cracking of his bones that I just broke his arm. The power I was using against him uncontrolled. I acted on raw instinct.
He snaps his head to me and I immediately let go of his swaying arm. His face contorts in hurt, betrayed blue eyes focusing on me like I was a vermin of the Earth.
I glare down at him, matching his heated stare and dare him to continue. My wolf successfully taking half of the control as she flashes her teeth at him. The need to protect me and my family a leading component from how she managed to bring forth such reflexes.
âYou touch him and I swear to the Goddess above Iâll f ucking kill you.â
The threat is enough to make him hesitate. The heaving of his chest rises when he takes in a breath.
Itâs then that he makes this face. A face that makes it look like heâs looking at me. Really looking at me.
Thereâs silence between us. The only sound echoing down the lot were Landonâs snarls as Raizel continues to hold him down. I can feel his patience wearing thin. Depleting so fast that I knew if waited a minute later Raizel might just snap Landonâs neck.
Benicio opens his mouth, but no words come out.
It wasnât words his words that caught everyones attention.
