When Two Beasts Fell in Love

Chapter 4

She thought everything was alright and the night will just pass through like the hunting event the other months. That their peaceful life will continue and there will be progress. She thought there was no enemy dare to attack them.  

But everything changed in just a blink of an eye. Tonight, everything changes. Everything she believed just vanished like magic. After a show, it will still end. 

All they could feel were fear. Especially when they slowly felt the presence of the creatures around them. They were outnumbered even with all the males' warriors of the pack were with them. They also used their magic to detect, protect, and take advanced steps to them, but it seems it didn't affect this creature as they tried it. What's happening to them was not just an ordinary attack. It was planned and polished. 

All were answers why when they fully saw the guy who was smiling so wide and seemed creepy. He was their leader and the one who creepily laughed a while ago. 

They saw a guy with blue eyes. Everyone could tell that he is handsome but you will tremble in fear when you see the kind of smile on his lips. The teenagers who were not trained cowered except Chiara and her team during training. She was trained for this so she needs to be brave. She needed to stand along with her father, with them. 

"Chiara, I have a task for you. Run back home and make sure your mother and sister are safe. Bring all the teenagers with you. Hide in the basement and if everything went wrong, walk through the tunnel. You will be safe there." Her father instructed her but her heart protested. She couldn't leave her father here but her mother and sister also need her. 

"But," she was about to protest but the Beta talked on their link. 

"Your father is right. Bring them, with my son, with you. Run back home and save our family. You know what to do when you get there. We will make way for all of you. We are not warriors for nothing." The Beta talked and looked at his son that nodded at him. But everyone could notice how he's against it, however, that was the only thing they could do. Some of them could fight and might be a hassle if they stay. 

"Oh! I know that look. You're all planning something. Right, boys?" the guy with blue eyes said. His mischievous smile never disappeared on his face. 

Then, one by one, men walked out of their hiding place. The teens' eyes got bigger when they saw the vicious and mean men that came out, surrounding them. All fathers tried to hide their children but still, they need to do something for them to be safe. Hiding was not enough. 

"What are you doing, Lucio? This is my territory. Who gave you the right to attack my pack, my family?" Alpha Karl said to the blue-eyed guy, Lucio. Chiara's eyes got wider when she knew who the guy was. He is also an Alpha. 

"No one. Also, you forgot that we are not following the law. Law is us. The King could not do anything with that since we are friends." Then he laughed like a maniac then his train of sight stopped to where Chiara is. "I see you have a beautiful daughter and she seems delicious. So innocent and fresh. Can I have some?" he said with a smirk on his lips then his eyes roamed on Chiara's body. Chiara got disgusted and almost pounded and beat him to a pulp but she stopped herself because it was dangerous.

"You foolish creature! I won't let it happen. Oven my dead body!" Alpha Karl screamed and covered her daughter's body with him. "You have to get through me first."

"But I can easily wipe you out. No sweat." He taunted Alpha Karl that made the latter grit his teeth because of his emotion. 

"Just try, Lucio."

"I'm not gonna try, but rather, I'm gonna do it." He paused. "Oh! I forgot! I'm not asking permission by the way. Since after this, everyone will be kneeling under my feet. They will please me, even all the women. They're all good for breeding. Even your daughter could be a good breeding tool with her wide hips. Her blood will be a great addition to my powerful bloodline. We will have a beautiful offspring." They mocked Karl that made him furious and couldn't think right. 

"I will not allow it."

But like Lucio never heard him. "And by the way, I did it all because I like your place. The forest suits our hunting activity, just for adds up and your mountain is good for the growing puppies. We need it because we all are having more puppies and for our next generation, to be more productive. Can you get what I am saying? Your place is so perfect for my plan." 

No one could answer him. They all got mad hearing this. They knew if they won't survive, their female will be their breeding tool as they said. They will make something that is not usual for them. They couldn't have a child with anybody unless it was their mate. But they broke that law. 

Alpha Karl knew that it was not a negotiable matter. He knew Lucio too much, that is why they're enemies. 

Lucio is also a werewolf, a Lycan. They're powerful beings too, like them. They are fast and can deflect magic that's why it is no use. They stood like humans with fur and claws. They're different, particularly in their temper that can really be deadly. 

"Prepare!" Karl screamed inside their link. But before they could move, some of them lost their balance and lay down while crying and even their children, too. While Chiara and his father got distressed while feeling the emotion of their family. Father and daughter could feel all the emotion of their pack, so they knew what was happening. 

"Dad," she called her father. Karl looked at her with a smile. 

"Another thing I forgot to tell you again. Am I getting old enough that I forgot about it?" Then Lucio made a tsk sound. "Half of my warriors are in your packhouse and maybe by now, they have already destroyed them all. But of course, women were taken for us to play later after this," he said as if it was just nothing. 

Karl sharply looked at Lucio. He was furious. "Protect your mother and sister," he said to Chiara then he signaled his Beta. The beta nodded his head and with just a wave of the hand, the whole row of Lucio’s warriors flew away. 

With speed, Chiara with the help of others held the other teenager who was on the floor. They ran fast going to the packhouse and hoping that everything's okay. 

While in the Karl situation, what happened a while ago never angered Lucio. Instead, he got excited about the idea. He will have fun for sure. 

"If I breed babies from your pack, it will be a powerful baby. I can make an heir with this blood. How exciting!" he said then he clapped his hand. The warriors that flew away stood up again as nothing happened. There's a malicious glint in their eyes that made Karl's packs step back. 

Karl's eyes got wider when he understood what's going on. It is forbidden but they are still committing it.

"They're under the influence of some kind of drugs." Lucio laughed as he heard what he said. 

Slowly, he approached them. But as he came closer, his appearance was changing. A snout slowly formed in his face and fur appeared on his skin. He got taller and his nails got longer, becoming sharply and deadly for everyone. His eyes became brighter with a small dot of black in between. All of the warriors also transformed in their Lycan form but their eyes were red indicating that they are under the influence of some drugs. 

Karl and his warrior never transformed to their werewolf form since the space was small. It will be hassled for them to fight and may cause more danger. That is a disadvantage to them, specifically the enemies were surrounding them and the trees were a little thick. but they let their werewolf take over and their eyes turned to gold. By this, they have the strength of the wolf but they can still think straight.

No words were spoken and they just ready themselves, waiting for who will strike first. The whole forest was quiet but it was a deadly one. Everyone looked at one another until Lucio just signaled his warrior to attack. With a creepy grin on their face, they attacked without mercy. 

Lycans are faster and stronger than werewolf-sorcerers. All they can do is defend themselves because there's no effect even if they fight. They tried to make them sleep but nothing happened. So, they used the alternative things around them and that was the trees. They threw the Lycans to the trees to disable them but it seemed the drugs had a big effect on them that made them unaffected and couldn't feel the pain.

"Useless!" Lucio, Alpha of Lycan Blood Pack added salt to their wounds. He is a greedy person that can kill without mercy to everyone who ever likes to block his way.

Karl's pack didn't have any more choice but to fight again and again with just their strength and instinct to survive. Their claws got longer and sharper and poison dripped on them. Karl attacked Lucio while the other fought with the other members of the Lycan Blood Pack. Those who already lost their mate and family, easily gave up to fight that led them to their death. The peacefulness of the forest was disturbed and the green forest was decorated with red blood coming from different people.

Karl felt it all. He felt the sorrow, the agony, and how broken his packs were. But even with those, he still fought with Lucio. He needed to defeat Lucio, that was all on his mind. That was the only way for them to be free. He tried to kick Lucio on his stomach and slashed him with his claw, but Lucio was skillful too, so he just easily dodged it. 

Karl attacked Lucion with his claw and magic but it seems the bad guy was prepared. Lucio could compete with his strength and speed unlike before. They both fought trying to tear one another. Karl swung his left fist to hit Lucio that he easily dodged but not the swing on Karl's leg. Lucio fell down but still grinning like he was mocking Karl.

Lucio stood up and without saying a word he did make Karl fall down. Karl used this opportunity to trip Lucio and punch him. They moved so fast that ordinary people could not follow. They were almost flying and crawling on the ground. In this fight, no one wants to lose.

Until Lucio moved faster and slashed Karl on his back, blood flowed on the gash made by the claw. Karl almost stumbled because of pain. But physical pain was nothing to what he felt at that time. He felt how slowly the thread that connects him to his wife slowly fades. He was distracted.

Mate can be their strength but it can also be their weakness. Mate is everything to them and without it, they’re nothing.

"I can smell the victory," Lucio said while smiling, standing still not far away from Karl. He slowly approached Karl, who was distracted and disoriented. That's why he didn't know that he was being attacked until he felt the pain in his abdomen. It was so big that he really fell.

The next thing he knew, he was under Lucio's clutch. His head held by him between his arm and waist, and ready to behead. He saw how his Beta and Delta tried to run to help him but for the last time, he gave them his order. 

"Run back home. Save those who can be saved. Runaway and be strong. When the time comes, avenge our death." He knew it was not good for revenge, but for a dying and hopeless man like now, all he could think was the death of her mate. The loss of her daughters and his pack. It means everything to him.

Both guys nodded, and that was the last thing Karl saw before his pack witnessed how his head rolled on the ground. At the same time, the piercing and full of sorrow cries of a wolf trembled the whole place. It was so powerful but it was full of range. The nearest wolf also howled with it.

Lycans got distracted by the noise, so the werewolf-sorcerer took the opportunity to escape. They ran back home and helped everyone who was alive. They need to run away and escape. 

While Lucio laughed so loud because of victory. He felt like he was the most powerful person or werewolf of all. But there's one thing he needs to do to be that powerful. He couldn’t let that person go and took everything to him. 

"Kill all the male werewolf, make the kids as slaves and tie all the females. We need them. Burn all their houses and make a new border." He commanded with a smirk on his lips. "I have some business to finish."
