Chapter 53 - Attack On Onyx Tails

“Caddel, we’ve been attacked on the borders. Two soldiers are down.” Uriel was informed in his office by his beta.

“How do they know about us? No one can see us unless they’re invited, Alfred.” Uriel questioned, standing up from the chair.

“They must have been invited in. We’re tracking their scent to find out who they actually are.” Alfred spoke as they both walked out of the office.

As soon as they were outside the building a massive explosion boomed through the woods, making the ground shake under their feet.

“WTF! What the hell is happening?!” Uriel shouted in panic and everyone started to come out of their houses.

“Let me see…” Alfred ran away to look at the sight of the explosion. While Uriel connected with every member of his pack through the mind link. He told them all to hurry towards the headquarters.

“Darling, what’s going on? I heard a blast?” Evangeline asked, walking fast towards Uriel with her swollen belly. Uriel instantly grabbed her hand without uttering a word and took her inside the building.

He dragged her into the office and made her sit on the chair. He kneeled before her and looked up, staring at her eyes.

“Promise me, whatever happens, you won’t walk out of this building unless I ask you to.” Uriel requested, looking at her with so much love.

“No… let me help you.” Evangeline protested.

“I can’t risk that. I won’t be losing you only if anything happened. I’ll lose everything. You, my son, my love, my mate… everything. Just stay here.” Uriel spoke, standing up. Evangeline didn’t protest this time, though she wanted to make clear that nothing would happen to her, the same couldn’t be said for her unborn baby. Uriel just kissed her temple before leaving.

“Uriel, they are huge in numbers. We were not prepared. We’re losing our soldiers.” Alfred rushed to him when he saw Uriel coming out of the building.

Uriel looked around and every pack member as they were ordered, were right outside the headquarters. He looked at each person’s face and every face was staring at him and asking the same question… “Are we going to be alright, Alpha?”

“Who attacked?” He asked Alfred but his eyes were still looking at the fear in his pack member’s eyes.

“Rabid Shadows pack,” Alfred spoke, making Uriel turn his head towards him in shock.

“What do you mean?” He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“It’s their scent, Alpha.” Alfred sighed.

“What’s going on, son?” Uriel heard his father’s voice and turned to him.

“Dad, we-” He was cut off by a man who seemed like he came running to him.

“Alpha, we were handed this.” The man spoke, handing a scroll to Uriel who instantly opened it to read. His eyes widened when he was reading whatever was written on the paper.

“What is it?!” Aziel was too anxious to wait.

“Rabid Shadows Pack’s Alpha, Edmond Ford says that they have surrounded us and if we didn’t leave this place for them in next half an hour, they’re going to kill every single one of us.”

“We can’t back down! We’ll fight them off.” Alfred was the one to spat in anger.

“We can do this, son. I don’t believe that it’s Edmond who’s doing this but if he wants a fight, he’s gonna get it.” Aziel was also fuming in anger.

Uriel didn’t say anything and looked around the people of his pack who looked scared. Women were hugging their kids to their chests. Men were making a shield around their mates and their kids. Kids were crying. Some women were screaming because of the pain they were going through after their alpha’s death. It looked like everyone knew their end but they were still trying to be the optimist.

“I’ll go talk to him,” Uriel spoke, walking towards the border.

“You’re very stupid to think that he’s interested in listening to you. He’d kill you and then your pack. I know Edmond. He’s crazy.” Aziel tried to make his son understand.

“I say, we fight them off.” He continued but then a woman screamed in pain and started crying because she knew what happened. Uriel looked at that woman, who was now hunched over, hugging her pregnant belly and yelping in pain.

Uriel closed his eyes and took a deep breath before making a decision.

“We’re leaving this place. We’re handing it over to Rabid Shadows Pack.” Uriel spoke looking up at Aziel.

“What? We’re just running away like cowards?” Alfred protested.

“No, we’re trying to survive. You want all of these women here to cry like her? You want your mate to cry like her? You want your kid to die in all this? You said yourself that we aren’t prepared for this and one by one we’re dying. I’m not running. I’m being sensible here. I don’t want my pack to be wiped out of existence. We can win our home back but can we bring back the dead, can we?” Uriel looked back and forth between his father and his beta who both nodded in understanding.

“But where are we going to go?” Alfred questioned.

“For now, we’ll just take temporary residence somewhere in Heartwood forest then we’ll think about where we’re going next,” Uriel answered.

“I’m going to ask Edmond to give us some time. You evacuate this area meanwhile.” Uriel spoke before turning into a wolf and running away.

“It’s a boy as it was said in the prophecy. His name is Zerachiel Amos Caddel and he is an omega. A hybrid of a werewolf and an angel. He’s immortal. The prophecy became true.” West Millar, Edmond’s beta informed him as he was sitting in the office that once belonged to Uriel Caddel.

“I heard that the Luna of the pack was saying that he’d be more powerful than all the alpha’s combined.” He further informed.

“If this is all true and he is an omega hybrid then I fear what this means for us.” Edmond panicked.

“First, I didn’t want to believe a prophecy made by some weird witch knowing witches have an old beef with werewolves but now that it’s right before us, I don’t know what I should do…” He clasped his hand on the table.

“We can’t even kill him because he is immortal. Nothing’s gonna affect him.” West said, taking a seat across Edmond.

“I know… but we must do something. At least something like he can’t use his powers against us.” Edmond was desperate at this point.

“We can contain him… like in some spell?” West suggested.

“You mean take help from a witch?” He frowned.

“Yeah… I mean it’s easier that way.” West shrugged.

“Let me think about it.” Edmond sighed.
