Austin, the Alpha they had made their way to the cabin and they tied the cloaked figure and began to question.
" Tell us who sent you, " Austin demanded, his voice low and menacing. The vampire smirked, refusing to speak.
" You think you can scare me, wolf? " Austin's eyes narrowed, his patience wearing thin. He was about to respond when a sudden crash echoed from outside. The pack members tensed, their senses on high alert.
" What was that? " Shady whispered, his eyes darting towards the door. Before anyone could react, the door burst open, and a group of vampires led by a formidable figure stormed in. It was Roger, a notorious vampire known for his ruthless tactics and unyielding loyalty to his clan. He had come to rescue his comrade.
" Get them! " Roger shouted, his voice filled with authority. The pack members sprang into action, but they were outnumbered and unprepared for the ferocity of the attack. The room erupted into chaos as wolves and vampires clashed, their growls and snarls filling the air. Austin fought fiercely, his claws slashing through the air as he took down one vampire after another. But the vampires were relentless, their speed and strength overwhelming the pack.
" Shady, get Loretta out of here! " Austin yelled, his voice barely audible over the noise. Shady nodded, grabbing Loretta and making a dash for the back door. But before they could reach it, a vampire blocked their path, its fangs bared in a sinister grin.
" You are not going anywhere," the vampire hissed, lunging at Shady. Shady pushed Loretta behind him, meeting the vampire head-on. They grappled, their movements a blur of speed and power. Loretta watched in horror, her heart pounding in her chest.
" Stay back! " Shady shouted, his voice strained with effort. Loretta's eyes darted around the room, searching for a way to help. She spotted a silver knife on a nearby table and grabbed it, her hands trembling. With a burst of courage, she lunged at the vampire, plunging the knife into its back. The vampire let out a blood-curdling scream, its grip on Shady loosening. Shady seized the opportunity, delivering a final blow that sent the vampire crumpling to the ground.
" Let's go! " Shady urged, pulling Loretta towards the door. They burst outside, the cold night air hitting them like a wall. But they had no time to stop. They needed to get to safety. Inside the pack house, Austin was fighting with everything he had.
He knew they were losing, but he refused to give up. He caught sight of Roger, who was making his way towards the bound vampire.
" Not so fast, " Austin growled, blocking Roger's path. Roger smirked, his eyes gleaming with malice.
" Out of my way, wolf. You can't win this. " " We will see about that," Austin retorted, launching himself at Roger. The two alphas clashed, their power and strength sending shockwaves through the room. Austin could feel his energy waning, but he fought on, driven by the need to protect his pack. The battle raged on, the air thick with the scent of blood and sweat. Austin's vision blurred, and he stumbled, his body weakening. Roger took advantage, delivering a powerful blow that sent Austin crashing to the ground.
" Pathetic," Roger sneered, stepping over Austin's prone form.
" You should have known better than to challenge us. " Austin struggled to get up, but his body wouldn't respond. He watched helplessly as Roger freed the cloaked vampire and led the remaining vampires out of the pack house.
" Retreat! " Roger commanded, and the vampires disappeared into the night. The pack house was left in shambles, the floor littered with the bodies of wounded wolves. Austin managed to pull himself up, his body aching with every movement. He looked around, his heart sinking at the sight of his injured pack members.
" Shady, Loretta! " he called out, his voice hoarse. Shady appeared at the door, supporting a limping Loretta. They made their way to Austin, their faces etched with worry and pain.
" We need to get everyone to safety, " Shady said, his voice tight with emotion. Austin nodded, his eyes scanning the room.
" We will regroup and heal. This isn't over. We'll find them and make them pay. " As they helped the wounded pack members, the weight of their defeat settled over them. But amidst the pain and despair, there was a flicker of determination. They had survived this attack, and they would come back stronger.
Hours passed as they tended to the wounded, their spirits slowly mending along with their bodies. Austin's mind raced with thoughts of revenge and justice. He could not let this go unpunished. They needed to be prepared for the next battle.
" We need a plan," Austin said, gathering the remaining pack members.
" We can't let them catch us off guard again." Shady nodded, his face set with resolve.
" We will train harder, become stronger. And we will find allies who can help us." Loretta, though still weak, stepped forward.
" I know someone who might be able to help. They have information on the vampires' movements." Loretta stated with a soft voice.
