Chapter three

Conall felt the distress call of his mate and sprinted into the woods, the need to get to his mate spurning him on. 

He could feel his warriors sprinting alongside him, his beta a huge black wolf wider in width than him but smaller in height running side to side with him. 

He was scared for his mate and child and hoped they were safe. 

Damn! the rogues for the nuisance they are causing in the wolf community Conall cursed in his mind while Denzel ate up the distance to the pack house in long huge steps. 

When he and his warriors arrived all they saw were white wolves lying dead everywhere with few of golden fur in their midst. 

Conall searched frantically through Denzel eyes for his mate and cub amid all the chaos but they weren't there. 

He sprinted towards the pack house in his wolf form tearing apart any golden wolf that came across his path. 

He leaped the stairs two at a time running into the rooms that had his daughter but it was empty, with his mate and child nowhere in sight drenching his heart with fear. 

He looked to their mate bond searching for his mate and when he heard her speak through their l**k his heart relaxed a little before he was sprinting out of the room again.

When he got back outside he saw some of his warriors trying to push the rogues back but more were still coming. 

Conall's mind linked a few of his warriors asking them to follow his search for their luna. 

He allowed their bond to lead him to where his mate and cub were and the sight that met him had him growling in rage. 

His mate was surrounded by a lot of rogues all of them sniping at her while Carla her wolf did her best to keep them away from the their daughter who was doing her best to keep hiding within the shadows of her mother. 

The sight of his mate bleeding and in pain caused Conall and his wolf to see red before they were rushing into the mass of golden bodies and began to tear them off their mate. 

He fought till he was able to get through to his mate who was barely holding on. 

He went to her licking at her bleeding fur trying to stop the bleeding that tricking down her side to the ground. 

" I am alright my darling, " Nimerah whispered into their mate l**k, feeling her mate's worry and fear wash over her.

Nimerah felt more grounded now that her mate was here with her. 

She wanted to run into his arms and feel his strong protective arms around her, but she couldn't do that because they were all still in danger as she sensed more rogues coming their way. 

The time it took for her mate to get to her, Carla had protected their daughter fiercely making sure that none of the rogues was able to make it pass her.

Together with her mate, they faced their enemies making sure that none was able to get to their cub. 

The more they fought the more the rogues kept coming and Conall realised that there was little chance of them escaping this battle alive, most of the warriors he had arrived with wear dead just two stood with him against the rogues who's numbers kept on increasing.

He needed to create a chance for his mate to escape with his cub. 

One of the rogues leaped over him going for his daughter that was cowering on the side before he could react his mate was already there fending of the rogue. 

The hairs on Conall nape stood on end, a sign of approaching danger. It was as if everything stood still for the approaching wolf as all went quiet even the sound of battle all subsided for a minute as the largest of the golden wolf made its way towards them, his eyes dark red glowing with darkness and cruelty his whole body radiating with power that was forcing the lesser wolves to submit. 

There was only one rogue with such a power. 

" EGON, " Conall spat in distaste. 

Being the alpha of the rogues had made the one one-time beta so strong that his power surpassed some of the alpha powers which was how he was able to defeat the alpha of the red moon pack. 

Rumor has it that the more wolves he kills the stronger he becomes, it was said that the ruthless bastard had gotten a witch who had enchanted him with the power to take on strength of the wolves that dies by his hand, which is how the son of a bitch was able to achieve the alpha strength and agility. It is only rumors with no one being able to prove its credibility.

Conall turned to his mate.

" you have to go now while I distract him, " he said to her through their l**k.

Nimerah had also felt the evil presence and knew that it was only a matter of time before the monster came for her mate. 

She had seen him walking towards them with his band of warriors and was getting ready to face him along alongside mate to protect her daughter or die trying and now her mate was telling her to run. 

No, she, was not letting him out of her sight. 

They were mates and are supposed to fight along side each other. 

She protested through their l**k reluctant to leave her mate alone with the monster.

She growled when she saw the massive wolf tear one of the warriors standing with them into pieces scattering his various body part while he licked his lips in amusement causing Nimerah to shiver in distaste. 

Conall watched Egon getting close and knew they were running out of time. 

"YOU HAVE TO GO NOW! " he yelled through their l**k, his worry mounting the more his mate and cub lingered in this evil beast presence.

" Think about our child, " Conall, implored his mate when she still stood her ground refusing to leave without him. 

" YOU HAVE TO GO NOW!  " he yelled urging her to shift. 

Nimerah was torn between the choice of staying to protect her mate or leaving to protect her child. 

Against everything in her she chose to leave her mate behind and escape with their daughter

She urged Carla to give her back control once she was in human form she turned to bid her mate goodbye to see him also in human form. 

She quickly fell into his arms going for his lips which she kissed hungrily with tears rolling down her eyes. 

She watched as her mate go down to his knees to the level of their daughter telling her to be safe before lifting her in his arms, after a tight hug he handed her over to her with a kiss on her hair and a promise from her to keep their child safe. 

Conall watched with a heavy heart as his mate and child began running towards the border. 

Some group of Golden wolves tried going after them but Conall quickly changed to his wolf and torn them limb from limb. 

" Why don't you give up, you can't defeat me, " Conall heard echoing in the walls of his mind. 

" I am not afraid of you, " Conall growled loudly at the beast in his alpha voice using his powers to force the invader out his of mind. 

Evil laughter rang loud through the night as the huge wolf made his full appearance from the shadows. 

Conall allowed his wolf to come forward and then he rose to his full height to face the rogue. 

       Denzel fell a foot short of the rogue alpha but Conall was not bothered, he wasn't going to be intimidated by sheer size of his opponent. 

      Digging his paws into the ground Denzel leaped high off the ground in the direction of his enemy going for his throat. 

      Raul, Egon wolf's smirked cruelly when he saw the alpha leap up in the sky. 

      The fool really thinks he has a chance against me, the wolf thought in amusement and arrogance, before his eyes changed and fury radiated from them like an avenging angel.

       He was pissed at the wolves community for looking down on him and his human  and that is why he was back to show them who the true leader is. 

      He stood his ground while the alpha came at him only to swipe him to the side with his paws. 

       Denzel bounced of to the ground and stood up charging at the rogue again and was once again deflected off before he could do any real damage to his opponent. 

     The fourth time he was more tactical with his approach. 

Fencing left while attacking from the right and this time he was able to catch the golden fur with claws cutting him so deep. 

     A blow to his face from the large paw in reaction sent him flying across the forest to crash against a tree. 

Raul was pissed at the alpha for getting close enough to cut him. 

    Enough was enough he was done playing, he was no longer waiting to be attacked rather he rushed at the falling alpha going for his jugular cause he needed to end this quick before reinforcement arrives from the other clans. 

     Denzel felt the rogue charge at him and quickly got to his feet, ready. 

When the rogue lodged at her he was quick to sidestep but not quick enough to escape his sharp claws which gave him a deep scratch to the side. 

Conall winced as he felt the pain of the rogue claws into his wolf's side. 

The two wolves fought till Denzel began to feel weak. He had cuts everywhere was losing blood seriously from all the cuts he had sustained at the hands of the rogue alpha. 

     Denzel was blinded from the so much blood sipping into his eyes from the cut giving to him on his forehead so he roared loudly in anger charging blindly towards the rogue.  His sight being impeded he was unable to really sense where the rogue was, as his scent was masked by the rogue so he was easily pinned down by huge teeth surrounding his neck, digging deep into his skin obstructing his air. 

Conall emerged from his wolf as it was held in tight grip by the wolf alpha.

The image of his mate and cub flashed through his mind and he began to weep that he was no longer going to be able to protect them. 

Praying to the moon goddess that his family was able to make their escape, he held on to the image as his neck was torn apart and the life snuffed out of him.
