Alpha Blake

Chapter 11 Damian, part 1

Flashback

We made our way to the middle of the desert riding in our convoys.

Caleb drove, while I sat shotgun. Miranda is in the back of my seat.

Jazzy knew I hated sitting with James, so she rode with him in the other convoy, along with other

of our group members.

Caleb jolted the car to a stop. I looked around, I couldn't smell anything unfamiliar. Just....

humans.

Why are we here? There's no sign of any threat or any dangerous creatures....why are we here?

I got off the convoy, going around to grab my gun and get in position. James came over, showing

us the map to the plan Colonel Coelhelm had discussed with him.

"Alright, everyone around. Now, there's no time to waste." He sneered at everyone.

I rolled my eyes as I tightened the harness around my upper body to hold my two extra handguns

and flipped the strap to my katana to hold it in place on my back.

As I grasped my katana, James tried to snatch it away to get my attention. He cut his hand,

making a hissing noise as it burned him from the slice it made on his palm.

"Fuck... Selene... why the fuck are you carrying that shit unsecured? You'll get someone fuckin

killed." He yelled.

"First off, that's the fucking point, isn't it? Second, don't ever touch my baby. Third, why the fuck

are you getting in my case? I'm not your fucking beta, I'm in charge here too. So back the fuck off." I

yelled back.

He clenched his jaw, his eyes going dark. I was not gonna back down if he wanted a fight. He

came up to my face, I could feel his breath on my cheek.

"You're lucky we're in a tight schedule... this isn't over." He whispered.

I pushed him on his chest. Making him take a step back, he grabbed my arm as I pushed him. He

held on tight, gripping me with force, pulling me towards him. One hand gripped my arm, and his other

around my waist.

"Watch it, Selene... You're lucky you're beautiful, otherwise,...I wouldn't hesitate to take you down."

He sneered in my ear. He stood at my neck for a second. Smirked at me while he pulled away.

"Shit, did I not hide my mark properly? Damn it, Selene!!! If he finds out I have a mate, it could be

bad news for my mate.... whoever he is. The least I want is to get him killed before I even meet him."

"And you're lucky Colonel Coelhelm hasn't asked me to kill you. Otherwise, I would have already

ripped your fucking head off." She snapped back.

He smiled at her. Turned around without another word and walked away.

The whole group gathered around. James gave instructions. As usual, the group was to run quietly

towards their target and wait for further instructions.

Jazzy, Caleb, Miranda, and Selene were the snippers. They'd stay back and wait until told to take

down their targets before the others attacked.

James would be attacking upfront with the first battalion group, if needed the snippers would run to

join the second group to attack.

"Ok, everyone get ready to go into position." They broke into their groups, and they all sped off.

They sprinted at first, then shifted to wolf form to get there faster and undetected since their steps

were quieter when they were in wolf form.

Jazzy, Miranda, Caleb, and Selene came up to a set of boulders about ten miles away from their

targeted area. They each set up their snippers and got into position, waiting for further instructions.

They must have been there for a good five minutes before they were contacted by colonel

Coelhelm and James.

"Alright James, Selene... the stage is all yours. James, take it from here." Colonel Coelhelm said.

"Roger that," James says

"Ok, alpha 1 in position."

"Alpha 2 in position."

"Beta 1 in position. "

"Beta 2 in position. "

Each one of the leaders gave their status. Awaiting for James to give his command.

Selene cut her mick off, something didn't seem right. "Jazzy, something isn't right. I don't get the

scent of any creature. I don't scent any rogues or vamps, all I get is human blood... something's not

right here. Why are we here to ambush a human village?"

Jazzy looked at her, as did Caleb, and Miranda. "I know, I was asking myself the same thing,"

Miranda answered.

"Guys, focus... if Colonel Coelhelm says this is the place we have to ambush, then that's what we

gotta do. No questions asked, remember?" Caleb answered.

"Ok, yeah.... but that's because before, I could smell the scent of a rogue or a vampire. But now....

something isn't right... this could easily be a trap... we gotta stay alert."

"Ok, but you know we are not allowed to go up there unless they call us over. If we go against

James word we could get in so much troub-"

"May I remind you that Selene is an alpha in this group too. Not just James. If she says we gotta

fucking move over there and save their ass then that's what we fucking do." Jazzy yelled.

"Enough!" Selene yells.

"If we get called, or we see the necessity to go, then we will move. Until then, we stay in our

position. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Alpha!" They say in unison.

They stayed in position, Selene looked through her scope, she could see them nearing bit by bit to

the village.

Everyone walked about as normal. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But yet,..... something told

her, there was gonna be a big blood bath, and innocent people were going to die.

James stopped by the first building. She could see he was communicating through his earpiece

with someone. She tapped on her keypad on her sleeve to try and tries to find their line and be able to

hear, she somehow was able to hack onto his conversation, muting her voice to avoid being caught in

their new invader.

"Ok, in position. Waiting on your command. " she hears the voice of James.

Then she here's a voice that is unfamiliar to her. A husky man's voice, a bit of a British, maybe a

Londoner's accent on. The other side of the line.

"Exterminate them. I want no one alive. Do you hear me? No one is to be left alive. We can not

take any chances. Every man, every woman, every child. I want them all dead." The husky voice says.

"Yes sir," James replies, gesturing them to continue with their mission.

One by one, the team ambushed into the middle of the village. And for the first time since her first

mission, Selene looks away. Tears running down her eyes. She knows something is awfully wrong. The

people in the village are running frantically.

No one seems to be shifting. She realizes they are all normal humans. They run from one place to

the other, scared, vulnerable. Kids grasping on to their mothers, fathers blocking their way from harm to

protect their wives and young ones.

"James, what the fuck is going on? Why is no one shifting? We were ordered to come here and kill

creatures, not humans." Selene yells on her piece trying to make sense out of the situation.

"Not now Selene. I'm busy. Your job is to make sure you take out anyone that may be ambushing

us remember? So do your job and protect the fucking team. Stop distracting me." He yells on his piece.

She angers, her eyes becoming dark, and her grip on her gun tighten. She pulls the trigger, a stray

bullet passing just inches by James. He looks towards the direction the bullet came from, growling

aloud.

He knows he just pissed her off. She's demanding answers, and he knows he can not give them to

her now.

"Alright... that's enough Selene. You wanna fucking kill me? Do it. I'm waiting,... take your fucking

shot. But I'm just here doing my job, just like all of us are. Including you." He says, raising his hands

towards his sides, giving her an opportunity to take a shot.

"Fuck you, James... I want answers... and I want them now. Otherwise, I'm taking my team, and

you can deal with this shit on your own. So talk.... now!"

"I don't know ok... I'm being honest. All I know is, there's something bad here, and they need all

these people dead before anything bad happens. I'm sorry Selene, but this is our job. Kill, no questions

ask... did you forget?"

"That's because each assignment has been to protect our own kind, and humans remember? That

was the point of this group.... to protect humans and werewolves... not kill them!"

"Enough Selene...We are over with this discussion. Do your fucking job and protect the team."

"Whatever James.... this is fucking wrong, and you know it."

Selene and James were so engulfed in their argument, they failed to see the creatures merging

from the north direction of the village.

"Shit, shit, Selene.... we got visitors, twelve o'clock!" Caleb called out.

Selene glanced her scope over. She could see a massive group of vampires running at full speed

towards the village. She could already smell them. The stenge of their blood making her nose flinch.

"Fuck,... James... it looks like a group of vampires is heading your way. Be on the lookout. Twelve

o'clock. " she warned him.

He looked shocked, he warned his group, making them full alert, ready for battle. They had

Exterminated most of the village by now. Houses and shacks were being set on fire. Farm animals

running about and away from the village.

She could smell their blood. Realizing they were not regular vampires, but rather primordials.

Harder to kill, if James found himself out there alone, he was going to be in trouble. Only a few things

could kill a primordial vampire.... and none of them knew it...

Except for her.... and Jazzy.

"Shit... Selene?" Jazzy calls to her.

"Yeah?" She looks frantically at her, Jazzy shaking and afraid.

She knows the power these vampires emit. They aren't just any regular vampires. Their force is by

far superior, their strength the same as three regular old vampires.

"We gotta go down there don't we?" Jazzy asks. Caleb and Miranda glance at each other.

"You two... fall behind. Jazzy and I will go in. Stay and cover-up... you don't want to confront these

vampires... they are bad news." Selene tells Caleb.

"No, I want to help... let me go with you, Selene," Caleb asks.

"No, it's too risky. I need you guys safe. Miranda, please, stay back and cover up. Take your shots

if you need to. " she orders Miranda.

She was the smallest and youngest of the group. For that, Selene always took it upon herself to

protect Miranda the most.

"Ok...." Miranda answers, her eyes wide in shock. She trembled, lips quivered.

Selene took ahold of her hands and looked at her in her eyes.

"Look at me Miranda!... stay hidden. They can smell fear... please, try and stay calm. If they near

you, shoot them in their head." She tells her,

"Caleb? If they get too close... the only way to kill them is with the swords. The white ash they

were made from and the Angel's blood is the only thing that can kill them. RIP their fucking head off...

or they will reincarnate, do you understand me?"

Caleb and Miranda looked at each other in shock, nodding in comprehension to Selene.

"And by all means.... do not look them in the eye, they will use it to hypnotize you and if that

happens, they can manipulate your every move. Don't let them get too close.... their bites are deadly

for you guys. If they bite you... you'll suffer a very slow and painful death." She tells them.

She clicks her shotgun, grips her sniper handing it to Caleb. "I won't need this for now... take care Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

of it for me. Use it if you must." She glances at Jazzy, nodding towards her.

Jazzy sights, lifting her katana and placing it in her harness on her back.

"Alright... let's go." Both Selene and Jazzy take off running full speed. They vanish into the air in no

time, making Miranda's hair raise as if she'd been hit by a gush of wind.

The girls make it just in time. This particular war has already claimed more than half of their group.

James is struggling, fighting against one of the vampires, and another one running towards him.

Selene runs towards him, she takes her katana out just in time, running in front of the vampire who

is just about to launch towards James.

She swifts her katana across his body, the head falling by her foot, the body falling over by James.

James grins, happy to see her coming to help.

But the other vampire seems irritated. He smells her scent and grins evilly...

"Well, well, well." He says, nonchalantly.

"What do we have here?... a primordial wolf? I never thought I'd see the day to see one of you

beautiful specimens. I was beginning to bore with all these ordinary werewolves who are no match to

myself." He sneers at Selene.

She holds her head up, gripping her sword tightly. She narrows her eyebrows, her eyes going

dark.

"No hazel... I got this. I will not be intimidated by a fucking leech. " Selene tells her wolf, who is

trying to take over and rip apart the vampire before them.

With a swift of his hand, he pushes James, making him fall and stumble across. Hitting his back on

a paved wall. James growls loud. But Selene stops him.

"No James... this is my battle now." She warns him.

Two more vampires run and engulf around James. Keeping him busy from coming to her aid.

"So, now... I see the myth is true... a primordial werewolf can not be swayed so easily. I can't seem

to be able to read your mind... nor make you fall under my spell... makes my job a whole lot more

exciting. I do love a bit of a challenge. " he says with a big smile.

She admits, if it wasn't because he was a vampire, and was ready to rip her head off... he was

quite the charmer.

He must be around three thousand years old, if not more. Tall, well built, fair skin, his hair silky,

raven black, styled perfectly back.

"You're eyeing me, darling? Do you like what you see? Too bad I'm not into dogs." He says, she

hates when someone refers to them as dogs.

She growls at him. "Take that back." She snaps at him... he chuckles loud, making her become

angrier.

"How about a dance before we battle? You'll find I'm quite a catch... you may even find yourself

falling for me... maybe I'll reconsider and take you home with me instead.... what do you say?"

"I rather not..." Selene says.

He chuckles eyeing her from the tip of her feet to the top of her head.

"You really are a beautiful specimen... too bad I gotta kill you. My name is Damian by the way...just

in case you want to know me before you die of course." He says, locking his sight with her.
