CHAPTER 009

" Alpha Bryan we're drastically under attack right now. " Ivar exclaimed as Sylvia exited the room.

" What do you mean attack? " I blurted out with immense shock all over me, I could feel fear rise as my heart raced fast than ever. An attack but how? I wondered.

" Very well then, gather all my brave, strong and healthy warriors immediately and let an announcement be passed to all pack members to stay in doors. "

" Yes sir, I have already assembled the warriors. We don't have much time" he responded As we both ran out to fight for our pack.

***

In the heart of the Viking pack, the air was thick with the scent of impending battle. The eerie howls of the rogues echoed through the trees, sending shivers down my spine. The ground Shaked in vibration as the sounds of their arrival alarmed.

As the first clash of claws and teeth erupted, anxiety surged through my veins, and I leaped into the fray with fierceness.

For It was time i fought for my pack even though we were weakened by the sickness which had infected majority of the pack members.

" Help... "

" Ahh... please. "

Screams of my pack members who were already attacked by the rogues arouse even more louder.

Both parents and children were torn apart as many ran for their lives and few who seemed strengthened fought for their.

" Who are this people?? " I rumbled in thoughts as I gulped my saliva hard into my belly, for the rogues looked really huge and scary, many pack members ran as the rogues attacked.

" My baby ....." A lady screamed as she witnessed her child being torn into two by the rogues. I couldn't believe what my eyes witnessed, it felt like a dream yet reality.

I tour apart few rogues with my claws as the tried to attack me.

I fought with the whole of me, I could feel goosebumps popping all over me depicting the level of fear running through the whole of me. I can't give up no matter what. I thought to myself as I fought.

"It's either I win or not and I survive or not. " I encouraged myself as I effortlessly fought so bitterly watching my pack shred to pieces by the rouges. Their strength was one of a kind never seen before.

Blood spilled everywhere as the pack dripped red, I could see my warriors fight with every last strength they got. Yet conquered by our enemies. "Moon goddess why have you forsaken me? " I moaned and weep with a heavy heart.

" Light up their barns and farm, destroy everything they worked for. "

The biggest of them ordered as they burnt down our farms. My eyes widened in immense shock as we fought.

I could feel my heart burning like fire as I fought for my pack. " Why my pack? What have I done to deserve such an attack? " Words trooped in my head as I watched how the rogues fought heartlessly against us. Were they aware of the sickness in the pack?

" Ivar watch out... " I screamed as loud as my voice could to rescue my beta who was almost pierced with a rod by the rogues. I wouldn't bare to lose him no matter what.

The moon's silver light illuminated the chaos as my pack mates and I fought tooth and nail against our foes. We were getting defeated by the rogues, but never relented I watched my brave warriors die.

Blood mingled with the earth, painting the ground bloody as the battle raged on and on again.

The thrill of the fight mingled with the fear of loss, driving me to push harder, but yet I knew we couldn't keep up.

" Retreat! Retreat! " The leader of the rogues commanded as all the rogues retreated and ran away.

I could feel my breathe lapsing as I exhaled heavily, falling to my knees in grieve as I stared around and all I saw was death.

" Who are this rouges? " I pondered again in thoughts as my heart ached I stood to my feet as I surveyed the devastation. Why did they retreat even as they won? This is strange. I rumbled in thoughts as I watched them retreat.

I could feel a mix of grief and rage swirling within me. The sight of our fallen comrades and their lifeless bodies scattered across the torn earth, ignited a fire of vengeance in my soul.

" Ahhhhhh.... " I screamed out my pain aloud, everyone stared at me, others moaned their lost.

The pain of loss and the bitter taste of defeat, gripped my heart, leaving me hollow and raw with emotion, yet raged and angry. I watched everything I worked for destroyed by the rogues as I surveyed.

The screams and moaning of women and children, both young and old echoed the entire pack as the moonlight shined.

I looked around, my heart felt shattered. I could feel the betrayal of my eyes as tears streamed down my face, mixing with the blood of my fallen pack members.

The weight of their loss weighed down on me like a crushing wave, letting me gasp for air in a field of despair.

The once vibrant spirit within me dimmed, overshadowed by the darkness of our devastating defeat. " How could I Alpha Bryan not have seen such disaster? Who are this rogues and where do they come from? " I questioned alone for my heart was weighed with a heavy burden.

"Ivar! Ivar! " I screamed out for my beta spinning round to have a sight of him yet no where to be seen. " Have you seen Ivar?" I questioned few pack members who passed by, but no one responded.

"I can't lose you, I hope you survived. " I rumbled words as I headed into the pack house.

"You survived. " The voice of a little lady echoed as I stepped in, embracing with a hug. "Lina you're still up? " I questioned surprisingly to see Sylvia's daughter. I lifted her as I headed for her mother's room, soaked in deep blood.
