[Lyander's POV]
Vampires!
My wolf pushed to the front, staring through my eyes. He was snarling in full alert and was ready to shift and attack at this unknown threat. We hadn't come across a vampire in months now. They usually stay cleared at our territory. But not this group, apparently.
Colm was shocked as well. His head swiveled on the door, eyes wide before his pupils dilated.
This was the human territory. Though it was near in our settlements, there were instances that vampires came all the way in the middle of nowhere. Usually, they wouldn't want trouble. They search for prey and leave.
I hope they were the same, but the two came to our table, and my wolf became agitated when we eyed the male vampire. He was big but not in a bulky way, and I knew he was different from the rest from the way he carried himself with such grace and oppressive air.
A pureblood?
My wolf and I didn't like it one bit. We hadn't had the chance to fight one, and we were too far from the pact to mind link for help.
This turned bad to worse within seconds when the female sat beside me with a sweet smile on her face while the male removed his coat and hat before he sat next to Colm. His vest was tight and highlighted his frame, and from start to finish, his obsidian eyes never left Colm's face while the latter paled and repositioned his body further away from the pureblood.
Colm wasn't acting like his usual happy-go-lucky self, and I wondered what was wrong with him. Did he sense that the male vampire was a pureblood too?
"Well. Well. What have we here? My lord and I were just walking past from an errand when we stumbled two distinct smell . . ." The female licked her full red lips and cocked her head to the side. Her raven curls tumbled on her shoulders, and her dark eyes danced in mischievousness.
"If you don't want trouble. I suggest that you leave," I warned.
The glint in her eyes turned hard as her face. "Don't worry, mutt. We'll leave . . . ," she then flung her attention to Colm, "after we get this pup that is."
Colm froze while the pureblood took the opportunity to study him up and down. I knew something was wrong when I didn't sense any hostility from either Colm or the vampire.
Usually, Colm would be raring to fight by now. But he just stood there like a statue while the vampire watched him.
What's going on?
"What are you doing to him?" I hissed. The fine hairs on my arms were blurring to furs. I wouldn't be able to control my wolf if this continued.
"Nothing." The female eyes turned crescent in glee. "Not yet, that is."
A low growl vibrated in my chest. "Touch him, and you're dead."
The male finally turned to look at me and my claws bared on the table at the lethal intent in his eyes that didn't match the calmness of his voice.
"Touch?" he smirked before he pinched Colm's chin. "It's not the only thing I would do to him."
Colm recoiled and lurched to his feet, causing the table to wobble. But before he could get away, the pureblood was behind him and forced him to bend on the table with his big hand on Colm's head.
"Fucker! Get off me!" Colm growled in anger, but I heard the confusion in his voice as he struggled to get the vampire off his back.
The male vampire's eyes bleed crimson in anger though his face remained blank. Within a blink, his long fangs were buried deep into Colm's neck, and his wolf howled.
I leaped from my seat. I was rattled at what happened in mere seconds. My eyes remained on Colm, and I was thrown off guard when the female vampire flung me away.
Tables and chairs were destroyed as I came down hard. The humans cried and shouted as they hurried out of the bar.
I spun in all fours, and my wolf came out, shredding my clothes. My paws came hard on the floor, cracking it as I released a loud growl.

The female stopped in shock and froze at my size and color, but I didn't care about her. My attention was still on Colm.
However, I was confused when I found him no longer resisting the vampire on his neck. Instead, he was . . . reacting to him in a strange way when he rolled his hips against the vampire's pants and growled a low groan that felt like a moan, "W-what are you doing to me?"
I shook my head when I almost sneezed from their arousal.
Just what the fuck is happening?!
I leaped in their direction, snapping my razor-sharp teeth in eagerness for the pureblood's head. Whatever he was doing to Colm, the latter seemed to be out of it.
I had to rescue him first!
But before I could come a meter to them, the female toppled me to the ground, and I was both amazed and angry that she had so much power within her. She wasn't like the normal vampires. I bet she was a general.
Probably the right-hand man of this pureblood.
If that so. Things had just turned ugly.
I kicked the vampress straight on the stomach, and she flung meters away from me. Somersaulting in the air, she landed on all fours and hissed, baring her fangs, "Not bad mutt."
If I wanted to get to Colm, then I had to kill the Vampress first. There was no way around it. While being alert with her, I checked on Colm. My attention was flecking to him from time to time.
The pureblood let go of Colm's neck and licked the blood from his wound. He chuckled for the first time, and the hardness of his expression dispersed.
I shook my head and sneezed out Colm's and the vampire's arousal. Another strange smell like mating pheromones wafted in the air, and the vampire inhaled the scent like he had just learned how to breathe.
"It looks like you're ready for me," the vampire moaned and released Colm's hard rock erection from his pants.
My eyes went wide in alarm when Colm eagerly pushed his ass against the vampire's pants as he stroked him aggressively. Colm's head dropped to the table, panting heavily. His hands gripped the edge of the wooden table as the vampire continued to rock his hips against him.
Was the pureblood mind-controlling him? Colm didn't seem to know where he was anymore.
I pushed forward in aggression, determined to end this madness once and for all. I tore through the Vampress defenses and latched at her hand that was shielding her head. Fleshed tore from bones, and I spit out her disintegrating arm on the floor.
"Fucking mutt!" she hissed, and I leaped forward again. This time, aiming for her throat. I didn't care if she was strong or fast. She still couldn't match my strength and speed.
I growled, canines baring and claws extending at her pretty neck. But the next thing I knew, I was thrown to the side once more.
"Enough."
I spun to my feet and snarled at the pureblood who was now in front of the Vampress. I didn't know what happened, but he was in full coat with his hat on his head while Colm was a hot mess on the table.
"Are you okay?" he asked his female companion.
"I'm sorry, my lord." The Vampress held her dismembered arm. "I didn't think the mutt was this strong."
The pureblood eyed me. I licked the saliva from my mouth and snapped my jaws. I didn't know if I could kill him, but I was sure that none of us would come out unscathed from this fight.
"Hmm . . ." his lips curved in a small smile before he turned to Colm. "Due to unexpected interference and my pressing schedule, I shall take my leave first.
"But make no mistake, my pet. I WILL come for you again."
Colm visibly trembled. His expression was both anger and confusion, and there was something else there too . . . disappointment?
As stealthily as they came, they were gone like the wind.
I shifted back to skin and tugged Colm by the arm, pulling him to his feet.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!"
Colm was silent for a moment before clarity echoed in his eyes. "I . . . I don't know . . ."
He rubbed his neck and my eyes focused on the mark on his skin. It was no normal bite mark. Though it was incomplete, I know what it was.
I gasped. "He marked you?!"
