Chapter 17 The Alpha in him wanted blood . Desperately . The whites of his eyes slowly inked black . His canines elongated past his lips bared threateningly to no one in specific . A low , deep guttural growl ripped from his throat and echoed down the halls . His wolf had successfully taken over him . This was the first time Ive ever seen it happen . pha Thompsons chest had puffed out , muscles bulging as he slightly shook in outrage . He was demonstrating his dominance before going out to face the rogues himself . He made his presence known on his territory so that whoever he crosses will know of his status . I could feel the thirst for blood in his constant growls . Take Selene and any others to the bunker . Protect them with your life . His voice was deep . Almost like there was another voice intertwining with his . Without another word , Alpha Thompson turned and made a stride toward the door . His large body radiating of pure rage in his footsteps . Beta Crawford waited until hus Alpha left to spring into action . The Alpha command worked instantaneously . Yanking me up by the arm , he began to drag me out the door . His face hardened with new profound courage masking his previous expression . Stumbling over like a newborn fawn . Beta Crawford caught me before I completely fell and hoisted me up in his arms . He didnt say a word and only continued to silently bring us through the hall . This was damn embarrassing but necessary . I couldnt quite feel my legs yet . The attack and the bed rest for two days weakened my strength tremendously . My body felt like jelly . We need to leave . Now The initial fear in his voice was gone . The need to fulfill the orders from his Alpha defeated his perception of fear . We zipped down the stairs , the Park house was completely abandoned by now . Pure terror could be heard outside . Women , men and children filling the night air with bloodcurdling screams . Beta Crawford tensed . He had the desire to aid them . His grip around my tightened slightly before he kicked open the back door and dashed outside . It was utter chaos . Fires lit up houses . Bodies scattered around the plains . Blood smeared all over the buildings and soaked into the soil . Most of those who were viciously mauled on the ground were lacking a body part . Some had their chests , backs or stomachs slashed open . Guts spilled out onto the ground . The faces of people I grew to know on more than just first name basis staring lifelessly at me with their mouths opened to scream . Only , they never got the chance to . The foul smell of death and burning flesh rained around us but I couldnt turn away . The horror and pure devastation of reality forbid me to Beta Crawford clenched his jaw . Sorrow filling his eyes as he tore his gaze away to continue runding . He had seen the people he grew up with slaughtered mercilessly . The only thing he could do was keep going no matter how much it pained him to do so . No matter how much he just wanted to stay there and mourn for the dead . I scanned the area around us . The screaming had ceased but this wasnt even half the population . Where was everyone ? Where did Alpha Thompson go ? A thanderous roar broke me from my thoughts . Quickly looking to my right , a large grey wolf with its canines snapped on a smah body of a child prowled toward us . Beta Crawford stepped back . His dark eyes calculating and observing the opponend before us . A low rumble came from within the rogues chest and slowly unhinged its jaw to drop the body . I screamed in agory . I stared at the bloody corpse of little Jason . Alpha Thompsons three year old son . Beta Crawford growled , eyes heated in anger at the sight of the little Alpha to be , savagely chewed and killed . His skin broke in his back , trails of blood oozing from his head and torso . His shirt was almost completely torn apart . Chapter 17 Beta Colwfords body shook with the desire to take vengeance but he restrained himself remembering the Alphas command . He was preparing himself to run but quickly tossed me to the side when another wolf lunged at him from behind . I skid across the ground , the mud coating my body . Run ! Beta Crawford quickly stood up . He used his hands to push himself off the ground and body slam against the grey wolfs side . The sound of bone cracking made me flinch as Beta Crawford took the two wolves head on . He didnt have the time to shift . Both wolves would attack him before he could . He managed to grab one by the snout but didnt get the chance to do any damage when the auburn wolf clamped down on his other hand . I had to do something . But I couldnt shift after an attack . Goddess , why ? Why does this happen now ? Why to them ? My eyes helplessly searched for Beta Crawfords . Run ! He yelled , pushing the wolves off him . He grabbed the auburn wolfs hind legs before slamming it against the grey wolf . Bentley brought Lila to the garden ! Go ! At the sound of Lilas name , I gathered all the strength I could muster and forced my legs down the pathway toward the field . I tried to ignore the sound of flesh being torn into . I didnt need to turn around to know who it was when two , unfamiliar snarls of victory surrounded it . I kept running . Every body I past by willing me to look at its direction but I couldnt . The heavy scent of blood curling around my mind as I jumped over the fence . I couldnt see anything in the dark . Even with my senses heightened , it was too dim to see through .
