Alpha Blake

Chapter 50 Perfidy-2

"Joseph? Dylan asked you a question, what are you doing here? I was not aware that you had

someone sick in here. The infirmary has been free of patients since we arrived in this land. So what are

you doing in here? Did you suddenly fall ill? Or hurt badly that you need special attention from the

ladies that you can't tend to for yourself? You seem unharmed to me, and it doesn't look like you are

suffering in any way. So what business do you have in here?"

Joseph stutters, unable to respond to his interrogation. "I I, I'm sorry. I just wanted to ask the elder

ladies for a tonic to sleep, I seem to be unable to fall asleep tonight; and as you know, I have many

duties to tend to tomorrow. I need to get some sleep before the sun begins to rise."

Alarick chuckles and brings his hand to his chin. biting his lower lip, exposing his canines, and his

eyes turning dark. Joseph suddenly fears for his life, he knows Alarick is stealthy and can be very

deadly when angered.

"Joseph, did you know I have always been able to tell when someone is lying to me? And I can tell

that you are lying to me, Joseph. I don't like being lied to." He sneers, coming closer to Joseph, making

him take a step back.

He gets closer, and closer, taking one step closer after another until Joseph is pinned against the

wall and Alarick. He tilts his head to the side and closes his eyes. He knows he's going to have no

choice but to tell him why he is really here. But if he does so, Carrie will be completely angry at him;

and that means he will be doomed either way.

"Alarick? What's going on?" Alarick becomes startled by the sound of Elena as she stands by the

infirmary's entrance. She takes a step close, realizing what is happening, she gulps and looks between

all the men. A loud clash warns them of another intruder inside the infirmary.

Quickly, she runs towards the room where they had laid the body of Harou and Candace's baby.

She bursts into the room but realizes that while the men were arguing with him, Carrie has already

made her way inside, the lifeless tiny body of Candace's baby is in her arms.

"Mom? What are you doing here? what are you doing with the baby? put her down at once!" Elena

pants, she slowly walks to her mother, focusing on not turning her eyesight away from her.

Carrie brings her arm forward, a small surge of energy emitting from her hand, making Elena stop

in her tracks.

"Get back Elle! This doesn't concern you. Now, step away, and let me get out, and no one will get

hurt." Elena narrows her eyebrows and her eyes turn dark. "I can't let you do that. Put the baby down

mother, or I won't be able to stop my wolf from taking over. Now, slowly put the baby down. I mean it!"

She growls, exposing her canines as the men make their way to the room.

"Elle, what's happening?" Elena quickly turns, seeing Emma by the door, and feels a surge of

energy blasting her and making her hit against the wall. Carrie had taken advantage of Elena's

distraction from Emma and blasted her with her energy. Emma gasps and quickly runs to aid Elena, NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

dropping to her knees and lifting Elena with her hands. Elena sees her chest, a dark red mark from the

impact of Carrie's attack quickly fades away.

She's shocked by how quickly she heals and looks at Emma. Emma smiles and shrugs her

shoulders, a stray tear running down her cheek. " I guess I'm exposed now! I'm not just a vampire Elle,

my mom was a healer. I have always been able to heal instantly when I get injured, and now you can

too due to our joining of ritual. But I'm afraid that it wasn't enough to save Candace's baby." She

narrows her eyebrows, a big knot caught in her throat as she turns her head away from Elena.

She stands, giving her hand for Elena to take and rising her to her feet as well. Elena takes her

hands in hers and hugs her. "Thank you, Em! For all your help, I don't hold it against you for keeping

from me your lineage. There is nothing wrong with you for not being a pure blood of the vampires. You

are still you, and I will always be your friend and sister." She smiles at her, but their distraction is to the

advantage of Carrie, as she comes forward, penetrating Emma's back and ripping away her heart from

her chest.

Elena's eyes widen in shock, as Alarick stands by the door. Emma's eyes slowly lose their light

and turn her into a grayish morbid look. Slowly her body falls in front of Elena, The blood tinting Elena's

nightgown as she holds Emma steady, shock in her face as she begins to cry and holds Emma

embraced tightly.

"No! What have you done? Why did you do this? You treacherous evil witch!" Elena's voice was

broken and filled with turmoil, disappointment, and anger.

She quickly stands, ready to rip Carrie apart, but she vanishes before her eyes. Alarick comes

close to her, embracing her tight, and kissing the top of her head.

They feel a sudden wind, and turn to realize Keiran stands before them, shock in his face as he

sees the lifeless body of his wife. He stands in shock, and slowly, his face turns towards them, furious,

he growls, realizing Elena's gown is filled with her blood.

"You! What did you do to my wife? It was you! You killed her. . ." Steadfast, he exposes his fangs

and launches towards Elena. Alarick instinctively shifts onto his wolf and begins to attack Keiran,

pinning him down to the ground to stop him from attacking Elena and hurting her.

"Keiran, this isn't what it looks like. Listen to me!" ALarick tries to get through Keiran but to no

avail. His anger is too strong to get him to reason with the facts.

He kicks Alarick off of him, and runs towards Elena, holding her by her throat and lifting her off the

ground. "I'm going to kill you, just like you killed my wife. She did nothing but love you like a sister, and

you repaid her by stabbing her in her back." He readies his fangs, sneering close to Elena, unwilling to

give her a chance to explain the event.

Alarick quickly tackles him, pinning him down once again on the ground as Elena heaves and

coughs, trying to catch her breath.

Dylan quickly makes his way as he comes back inside after dealing with Joseph, and aids Elena to

a safe spot. She fears and shakes as she sees Keiran and Alarick fight. Quickly, they are both torn

apart by their own guards. Though they struggle to maintain them apart, they hold their ground and

keep them in place.

"Mark my words Alarick, this treaty is now considered treachery on your behalf! And this. . . means

war! I will have my revenge on my wife's behalf. Doesn't matter how long it takes me. . . . I will have

MY. REVENGE!"
