Attack on Laura

As I could see the crossbow over my shoulder glide past my head, the split image of the dangerous weapon unleashed upon me like I was destined to take my last breath with that, Lucien was straight ahead of me as he holds the metal and wood arrow in his hand whilst glaring at an unknown entity behind me.

The girl in my hold screams and transforms into her wolf which was a hard sight to witness. She looked her age but in a wolf's body, obviously since she was only 11. Lucien however, runs past me at a speed I couldn't fathom and the vampire behind me which I sensed escapes the hold of Lucien, the werewolf King himself.

My heart was racing, but the chase was being carried out in the woods as the vampire was trying to lure him into the woods. Oh, I wish Lucien wouldn't go there. The dark woods are literally the hub of vampires and maybe he will find the worst categories there.

Also... I don't want him to get hurt...

My plan has taken a gradual and discreet shift when I met this little girl. As I see her at the corner cowering in fear for her brother's safety, I began rethinking my life choices. Shouldn't it be better if I just stayed away from all of this?

I was putting more than one life at risk now.

Without further ado, I abandon everything and ask the beta who was named Gorius Symphony to fetch me my Harley Davidson. I could chase them down with it's modified engine for it runs as fast as the vampires. The garage beholds my baby as I stare at it and bite on my lips. I hope they haven't cut off the radar.

"Did they do something with my baby?" I ask Gorius informally, wearing the helmet that is attached with it. "Nothing I've known. It's all intact. Please make sure to save our King. He got posted only yesterday." The beta says to me as I nod at him, "Why don't you come with me then? We can go in three's. It's a big baby."

And so, the man was holding onto me for dear life as we speed through like the wind. I was going around 180 miles per hour, which is way too fast for even a vampire to sprint. But I was wrong. Someone in particular and in question is capable of beating that speed.

As the green and red dots meets, I look at the blasphemous thing upon it as the green dot suddenly overlaps the red dot. I wasn't sure which one was who, but I was certain that my radar won't glitch to show me such a thing.

Oh my god, that leap was around half a mile long. Is the vampire the Leader of Vampires himself or what? If he was, he wouldn't miss his crossbow while killing me. That leaves us only one suspect.

"Is your King kind of weird? He just leaped half a mile in the air like an explosion!" I scream through the wind that was blasting on our faces.

"I better not say anything!" Is the only answer I hear from Gorius. Tightening my jaw, I increase the speed to 185 as if the ongoing wind wasn't enough to rotate the whole bike upside down.

Applying the brakes with vigor, we see the whole dim area in a menace of trees being uprooted and used as war weapons. The same exact moment, Gorius and I witness King Lucien uprooting a huge tree and smacking it towards the vampire who dodges it with ease. What the hell is going on?!

I immediately take my gun that's always attached to the bike and run to the nearest but the most farthest place to capture the vampire. For personal protection, I gesture Gorius to be vigilant because this is the hub of vampires I was talking about.

And I have only five bullets left in the cartridge of this gun.

"Freeze!" I cringe at myself, I sounded like a cop.

All activities stop upon my intervention, but I see the vampire smirking at me as he charges towards me at an unfathomable speed.

Now. I've had countless encounters as a vampire huntress but none of them were as quick as this one. It hadn't even been a fraction of second whilst I remain miraculously unharmed, because King Lucien comes right in time and has the vampire on chokehold.

"Finally..." I hear Lucien utter, the vampire in his hold was having a hard time with the induced pain. Lucien tightens his grip and we hear a loud crack as though all the cervical bones in the man's neck have fractured and shattered all like forbidden candy.

The crunch sound was so distinct that I went into shock at that moment.

My wide eyes meet the man who I am supposed to call my mate. Did he hunt this vampire down just to save a human who is also a vampire huntress? It didn't look real to me, but as I look into his eyes, I feel another emotion which I couldn't justify.

Was it anger that I see?

Anger towards me?

I must be highly mistaken but was the cause of anger the worry of loosing me?

Shaking my head, I see the man change into his werewolf as I was yet stunned by the abnormal size of the man's posture. The wolf was almost my height even if it had four legs to stand on.

Who is this man? This cannot be a normal werewolf.

The wolf barks at Gorius something I couldn't obviously understand. I don't speak wolf, but Gorius nods and they start leaving together.

"Hey, wait! I can't—"

"He told you to reach the palace in ten minutes. This is a dangerous place."

"I know that! But... won't you come with me because this is a dangerous place?" As I ask Lucian directly, Gorius seems to have a wordless conversation with Lucien who slowly shifts back into his human.

"Only if you let me drive." He says, catching me off guard. No way I would let him drive my baby— "If you don't want to, then you're welcome to come back to the palace in one piece, alone."

He threatens me for a ride on my bike?

What's the worse he can do to your bike, Laura. Give it to him.

"Okay, fine." Handing him the keys and watching the smile light up on his face, only the eyes crinkling though, I get seated behind him as Gorius assures us that he will be safe travelling back alone in his wolf. I was slightly fidgety, because I hate this place very much for how many unstated encounters I've had with vampires here.

I was hearing to my bike's engine roar for the first time in my life, seated away from it's centre and behind the rider. Biting down on my lip, I give him the helmet that he wears with a little struggle because my head is way smaller than his.

"Small brain." He utters under his breath, but I have my speculations that he's said that purposefully for me to hear and rile me up. Fine. I heard it. But I'm not gonna give him my reaction to it.

"I just said you have a small brain and a small skull." Pretending I couldn't hear him, I laugh to myself internally and lean towards him to ask, "What? I'm sorry I cannot hear you!" I purposefully utter the words loud but since he had sensitive ears for his species, I hear him hiss and race through the woods like a madman.

Honestly, I've always tasted the air as a rider myself but this is the very first time I experience the adrenaline rush of speed now that I sit behind him. It was natural for my scared self to hold his waist when he accelerated like that, but what was unexpected was his hands on mine as he fasten them tighter against his waist.

I only knew what it meant.

"Ah!" I couldn't help but screech when he accelerated way too much. I predict the speed is at the highest at around 210 miles per hour. But hey, he didn't discover the fire speed boost yet and I was thankful. I rarely used that feature, because for one, if I lost balance and hit something in that speed, I'd say hello to God.

We reach the pack house and the fences open when they realise who the driver was. I slowly remove my hands from his body while sitting straight instead of leaning on him.

Out of the blue, the man grabs my hand and places them back on his abs, my arms on his waist again. "Stay."

"Okay..." I was concerned on what are my feelings on this. I'm sure my face was all red by the time he gets down and gleams at me.

"That was a nice ride. Especially with your chest attached to my back." He says as I widen my eyes. So that was why he wanted me to stay close to him!

"Pervert!"
