His Protection.
Chapter 3: His Protection.
Flashback: 20 years ago under the blood Moon.
“Find her, kill the child and capture the witch.” I was a command cold and brutal, echoed as cloaked figures moved swiftly after her through the burning forest.
Elowan ran with a few days old baby in hand, clinching the child to her chest tightly as the baby cries echoed in the night.
Her heart was bounding, but no matter what she must get the child to safety. The prophecy, her child was to fulfill the prophecy.
She stumbled into a crumbling chapel, she had been here a couple of times. She knew an old priest lived here.
She placed the baby in a basket and left the child at the altar of the chapel.
She runs to the door and waits by the door as she sees the priest walk in and find the child.
“Forgive me, my child…Please survive.”, she cried.
She runs towards the opposite direction, wrapping clothes like she still has a baby in hand. It was long before she got captured.
The commander snatched what she had in hand but they were just clothes.
“Where is the baby witch?. Tell me now”
“No, you'd never find him. I promise you”
Aiden gasped. Eyes wide open. He just had a nightmare. Werewolves on the battlefield, flames engulfing everywhere, a man he saw last night yelling the name “Liora”, shaking and sweating in fear.
He takes a deep breath, he knew he shouldn't be late to campus today.
Thirty minutes later, he was in a bus heading to school.
The scent and sound of everything heightened. He rushed to a particular class where Prince was already seated.
“Quiet early today but looks like a mess. You went shopping?”Prince asked.
“Well no”,Aiden sat by his side.
“What are those eye bags?”
“Look, I can only tell you this. A lot of weird stuff have been going on lately”
“Hmm, okay”, Prince shrunk his eyes.
“I hear sounds clearly even when they are far away and the smell of things is overwhelming. The worst was last night, I got attacked by street thieves, I got a cut but it healed before I got home. There was this man that saved me, tall in only black, he was strange and inhumanly strong. He called me a name - Liora.”
“Then, I had a nightmare. Wolves, the place looks ancient and I saw a strange man yelling that same name.”
“What movie are you describing or you've had so much coffee and you are losing your mind?”
“See you wouldn't even believe me”, Aiden ran his hands furiously through his hair.
“Get a therapist and probably sleep. Enough oxygen hasn't been getting to your brain”
“Huh, whatever”

Aiden was waiting at the bus stop. He was taking the bus today so he doesn't have to come across weirdos.
An old man with heterochromia eyes sat beside him.
“Your scent would bring death to the world if you are not careful”, the man said looking directly at him.
Aiden looks around trying to see if he was referring to someone else.
“You mean me?”, he pointed to his chest.
The old man nodded.
“My scent is that of a cheap perfume. What are you, a street prophet?”, he laughed awkwardly.
The man does react, expression unchanged.
“The prophecy of the Moon's child and the fallen alpha mustn't”, before the seer could complete his words, a silver dart hits his neck, sending blood trickling down. He collapsed, eyes wide open.
Aiden screamed and he tried running but tripped at his untied shoelace.
Dark figures in Hood were approaching him. One of them lifted him up and placed a very sharp knife over his throat.
“Your bloodline dies tonight”
Aldrich could sense his mate was in danger. With great speed, jumping from rooftops to another. He finds his mate pinned to the wall by a vampire. The Argato clan of vampires.
His beast spirit snarls and growls: Mine.
He shifts to his beast form. Eyes blazing gold, as he swiftly grabbed the vampire between his teeth, tossing them away. The vampires drew out their weapons as Aldrich stood in his beast form between them and the human.
He howled into the night sermoning his team.
He had to protect his human mate even if he loses his life.
Aldrich howl into the night summoned Fiona, Grants and Merrick. They arrive in beast form taking their positions. Super strength and speed made it easy to crush and ripe most of the vampires to shred.
“I'm Fiona, are you okay?”She checked on Aiden but he couldn't move. Everything that was going on was like a nightmare, he had seen a lot of blood at the hospital but this was worse for just one night.
Aiden is terrified, if this was a nightmare he needs to wake up.
Aiden passed out from shock as the last vampire's head rolled to his feet.
