She tried to kill the Alpha!

CHAPTER EIGHT

ZOEY

The vampire slammed into him and buried his fangs in Gregory’s neck. Gregory thrashed on the ground and struggled to free himself but it was of no use. An Alpha was strong but he couldn’t withstand the effect of a vampire’s venom, especially as he was distracted and taken by surprise.

In that moment, fear filled my body and I panicked. “What are you doing?!” I yelled and for some reason, it seemed like the vampire had heard me as he raised his head for Gregory’s neck and smiled at me.

His teeth was coated with Gregory’s blood and his smile sent shivers down. I took a step back as I was scared that he’d attack me, but to my surprise, he dashed off.

“Come back!” I yelled but he continued running away. I looked at the vampire and back at Gregory who was writhing on the floor in pain, and I became confused as I didn’t know what to do.

Gregory growled loudly and blood poured out of his wound. At first I was confused, and I thought about shifting back to my human form to find help but before I could come to a decision on what to do, something shifted in me and Frankie rushed after the vampire, chasing him in the night.

I could feel how angry Frankie was as she chased after the vampire with the intention to kill him. I tried to stop

Frankie but it seemed like she was acting out of her own control.

The vampire was faster but Frankie didn’t give up. She aggressively chased him till we got to the far end of the woods. Then to my surprise, the vampire suddenly stopped and he had a wide smile on his face, showing his bloodied fangs.

“That’s right, come with me. You belong to our lord,” The vampire stood far from me and he said to my surprise.

What was he talking about? And what was it with their obsessed lord?

The vampire seemed to understand my confusion and his smile widened, “The next time he touches you, I won’t spare his life. No one touches what belongs to the lord.” He said.

“You’re crazy!” I sneered in anger and he just laughed. “Tell your lord to leave me alone!”

“That’s impossible. The lord doesn’t take no for an answer!” The vampire replied, “Come with me now, or you’ll regret it.”

“You can go to hell!” I spat in disgust. “I don’t belong to anyone, and I definitely don’t care about your lord. Tell him to deal with his obsession.”

“You’ll pay for this. It’ll all be your fault and everyone will blame you.” He said and I tried to understand what he meant. Then something clicked!

It was a distraction! He had made me chase him to this point so that I would leave Gregory alone to die. How was I foolish to fall for it!

I growled as I turned around and rushed back and I could hear the vampire laughing out loud in satisfaction like he had achieved what he wanted.

My heart raced and my body trembled as I rushed back. I didn’t know why I cared about Alpha Graham even when he was rude and cruel to me, but I did.

By the time I eventually got back, Gregory had shifted back to his human form and I looked down at Alpha Graham. His skin was deathly pale and he wasn’t breathing. I wasn’t sure if he was unconscious or dead.

A feral vampire’s venom was very powerful and could even kill the strongest werewolf, and that was why they put a chain on me, to curb my venom since they thought I was a vampire.

I stared at Alpha Graham for a while in confusion and panic, and then I shifted back to my human form. “What are we going to do, Frankie?” I asked worriedly. I was almost tearing up but I tried my best to keep my emotions in check.

“I have no idea, Zoey. A vampire’s bite is very deadly.” Frankie sounded just as scared and confused as me. She sounded like there was no hope but I refused to give up. I didn’t want to.

And then, the next second, I did the most impulsive thing that shocked even me. I crouched down beside him, placed my mouth on the wound and began sucking out the venom.

“Zoey!” Frankie yelled in panic and fear, “Are you crazy? What are you doing? Do you want to die?”

“I won’t die,” I said in my head, spat out the venom and continued sucking, “I won’t die,” I repeated, “because I won’t swallow it.”

I knew that I had acted impulsively and foolishly but I didn’t mind and I still didn’t regret it. All that mattered in that moment, was to save Alpha Graham’s life.

“You’ll get us killed, Zoey. You can’t do this.” Frankie was frantically pacing around in worry in my head but I didn’t want to give her a listening ear.

I spat out the venom and repeated it again. I looked at him and then I realized that he didn’t look so pale like before and though he was still unconscious, it looked like he had improved.

I placed my head on his chest and listened carefully. His heart was beating very slowly and I could barely hear it, but it gave me hope that he was going to be alright.

I sat back down with a tired sigh, “See Frankie, I told you I won’t die.” I said with a smile.

“You’re crazy!” Frankie said but I could tell that she was relieved.

I didn’t know why I did what I did but all that mattered was that I had done it. In that moment when I saw Alpha Graham in that position, all forms of rationality left me and the only thing that felt right was saving his life.

But just when I thought everything was going to be okay, I heard someone yell, “Hey! What did you do to Alpha Graham?” Beta Ronald asked as he rushed to us with other pack warriors behind him.

“I—,” I tried to explain but that familiar guard didn’t give me a chance and he screamed. “She bit the Alpha! She tried to kill him!”
