Chapter 134: 134. I have no mother
Looking behind her, Dana found the woman who had come to attack her pack with the vampire captain not so long ago and anger boiled within her. She wanted to tear her apart, but the sight of her mate weakening held her back.
She had to find a way to help him. To find a way to touch him and let the magic of the mate bond which they shared do its work. She growled and bared her fangs at the woman not forgetting what they had done to her in the past where she almost lost her baby had Koraago not been there.
"I just came to talk." The woman said but Dana growled even louder at her and started stalking her. "Would you listen if I let him go?" She asked with a finger pointed at Lazarus.
Dana glanced behind her to see her mate and then back at the witch. She sat on her hind legs and looked at the woman so she would know that she agreed to her terms. It was just to talk and nothing more, then she could listen to her as long as her mate was alright.
She waved her hand and the invisible barrier fell Dana could see Lazarus regaining his strength back and even the Abomintauons that were around had retreated leaving them alone. She ran to him and touched his face with her snout and felt the spark erupt from where they touched each other. Lazarus opened his eyes which had turned bright red and glared at the witch.
["It’s fine."] Dana said through the link. That was the only way for them to communicate with each other in their beast forms.
["Are you alright?"] He asked instead. His gaze met hers for a brief moment.
"Would you listen now?" the witch asked taking their attention once again. Dana looked around her and they were the only ones around and shifted to her human skin. Using a spell, she clothed herself.
Giving a measuring look at her mate, she turned to look at the witch with them. "What Is it that you want to talk about?"
"I am Cillia, The head of the witch’s coven." She began while Dana just stared at her. "And your mother." She said and looked at Dana who had a blank look on her face. Not even blinking even after seconds passed away in silence and turned into a minute. "Won’t you say anything?" She asked only to receive a threatening growl from Lazarus.
To say she was not shocked at the revelation would be a lie, but she could not find it in her to feel anything. She looked at the woman who claimed to be her mother without emotion, not even annoyance or anger. Maybe it was because all her life she lived alone on her own until she met Lazarus who made her feel being part of a family and part of something, of a person’s life and that was more than enough for her. She never asked to meet with her parents and wasn’t going to do that now. "I have no mother." She said and stood up from where she sat on the ground. "And this is a very wrong place and time for you to say such ridiculous words."
["Dana,"] Lazarus called her.
["I am fine."] She said and looked away from him. She knew she had just lied to him and he knew that too.
"Your father was my mate," Cillia said stopping both Dana and Lazarus from walking future. "He took you away from me." Dana turned to face her. "I know this isn’t the right place, but I wanted to talk now that I still have the time," Cillia said but Dana walked away.
She had more important things to do than to chat with a woman she had never had a relationship with. Cillia watched as they walked away but she was not angry. Dana’s nonchalance was understandable.
**********
The abominations left from one side and came to join in on the other side increasing the number there by more than half. A fight broke out not long after Darren showed up and rejected Dmitri’s proposal on Gaia’s behalf.
Right now, Gaia was going head to head with Dmitri while Darren was held back by the witches and Abominations. Sebastian half-shifted and attacks him from behind stabbing his claws deep into Darrrns lower back which caused a painful growl to escape from the lycan.
Sebastian had a pleased and satisfied smirk on his face for being able to hurt Darren for the first time in a long while. He looked at his claws with Darren’s blood dripping from it and was even more pleased. "How does that feel?" He asked, still smirking.
The lycan turned to his back red eyes staring at the rogue wolf who dared to attack him from behind and smirk at his success and charged at him. Every blow that he delivered was successful but he did not stop until he held one of his hands and forcefully pulled on it, ripping it from the shoulder and throwing the severed arm to the side,
Sebastian who was smiling less than a minute ago was now in great agony as he tried to get away from the lycan that was still coming after him. He ran into a much more crowded place with the most rogues and Abominations.
Darren lost him when he e to the center of the attack as those creatures came at him and attacked him all at once. He started feeling dizzy and knew that a spell has been placed on him because that had never happened before, not even when he was younger. He searches for the witch responsible with his sense on high alert to make sure that nothing of that sort happens again.
Finding her was not easy with the number of Abominations can’t we coming at him? He could use his alpha aura and suppress the rogues who were still sane but it was of no effect in the mutant shifters and vampires.
The spell was starting to have a strong effect on him and the poison in the claws of the Abominations had gotten into most parts of his body weakening him all over his body. He could not go down and he could not show any weakness, not just because of his ego but because his weakness would affect the others who are relying on him for strength. He was a symbol and pillar of strength to the shifters both as an alpha and as a lycan.
Luckily, Mateo appeared next to him in time to help with a few warriors while the others followed Darren’s instructions of not letting any harm befall the Luna.
