Adrian pov

My claw used the soil as a leverage to leap higher in the air, using the claws, I grabbed his (John) leg and pulled him down with me. 

I am so angry right now, I haven't been insulted in my life before. But this damn girl sister has the guts to insult me. And now I am going to take the anger on you. 

My claws grabbed a piece of his pants. Applying force, I brought him down with me. The ground vibrated as a loud thud hit the ground. “Stupid blood sucking demons, you have the guts to come and fight me alone!” Although I was already in my wolf form, I could still communicate, but my voice was now harder and deeper than before. 

“Cough, cough” John struggled to pull himself up, his face looked more younger, a pair of fangs could be seen hanging out of his mouth. “You damn dog, you take matters too serious. Were you planning on exposing us too early?” 

I stopped for a moment. He was right though, I had almost exposed our identity, I remembered there was a human with Kate sister. What really happened, although this wasn't the first time, things like this happen. But I have never gotten angry to this extent. And it seems everything is related to Kate's sister. For some reason, I didn't want to be a villain, I had only wanted to tease her, but that stupid human kept on exposing things about me, that I couldn't take it any longer and got angry. 

A loud growl caught my attention, I looked fiercely at the incoming brownish wolf, it jumped straight at me without any warning. Growling loudly, I smacked the wolf away, as the wolf flew away before stabling itself. 

I felt some bad function surrounding me, and for a moment I felt cold feet. My claws got into good use tearing the air around me. Bingo. 

If it wasn't the Tree killer, who could it be? It has tried to sneak attack on me, but my sharp sense of danger has always been high, and on less, he was faster, and he could hide his aura perfectly then he might have a chance against me. 

“Adrian, let's stop this now” You know you can't defeat us all at once. Kate spoke, her golden pupil stared at me, challenging me to refuse. But who did she think I was? 

“You don't tell me what to do! Come on you lot, I have been hitching for a fight all along.” My figure got into a battle stance. My eyes scanned around, calculating my next move. Till I saw her, she stood on a tree watching us, that was when it hit me, although I couldn't sense it before, but I sensed it now. The pull, the feeling, don't tell me… My heart beat faster, something clouded my judgement, it was like I couldn't see anyone except her. 

She looked at me, our eyes met, and the urge to possess her overcame me. I completely forgot about everything, about the challenge. I didn't need any soothsayer to tell me this. This is my mate. A growl escaped my throat, my red pupil stared brightly as before. 

I was so concentrated on her that I forgot that I was in a battle. Zero, (the tree killer) instantly left where he was, his movement became blurry, That I noticed it too late. 

Slash

A long line appeared on my tummy just a little bit behind the sensitive spot. One thing that I was sure of was that if it was one inch down in my sensitive spot and I would be kissing the world bye bye. 

I drop on all four. That attack had weakened me a lot. And there was a little trace of poison in that wound. 

“You…” I growl slowly, my breath becomes unstable. As my eyes become blurry. I looked at Zero who did the final strike. 

“First rule in assassinating. Look for the perfect chance to strike. You shouldn't have gotten distracted.”

Yes, he was right. I was distracted. My vision became blurry as it closed. My wolf figure shifted back to human. As I laid there naked, lying on the ground. I could hear a low thud hit the ground, then a hand. That hand, it's… soft, and… gentle. I sunk into unconsciousness, leaving my life into fate's hands.

*************************

I moaned lowly from the pain. As I blinked open my eyes. I felt my body being wrapped by some bandages. And I do notice that I was wearing something underneath, a short pant. 

I looked around me, trying to figure where I was. The night seemed darker today, there wasn't any moon. But the fire burned meters away, making it easy for me to access my surroundings. Kate, sat around the round fire, with three of her wolves who seems to be her bodyguard, as they have been following her since she started schooling here. John, the vampire, looked busy drawing blood from his companion. As he sank his fang into her neck. While Zero the tree killer is on a tree, looking into the distance, only God knows what he was thinking.  

I needed to leave this place. I tried sitting up, but I unknowingly winced in pain. It will take about a week before my injuries are fully healed. 

“You are awake” A voice spoke behind me, i turned back, and it was Kate's sister. Her innocent voice starred something within me. My mate, she is my mate. “Come, let me help you up” She moved closer to me, by then everyone's attention was already focused on me. Kate stood up, already feeling alert. 

“No” I waved her off. Even though it was painful, I never needed anyone's help in doing things. Even in school or anywhere I moved alone. Facing the world all by myself. Because I was born to be alone, and Born to be called the lone alpha.
