Rise of the She-Wolf

Vanessa’s pov,

It was a sight to see the Russian airport filled with hundreds of airplanes. Thousands of people got out of the airplanes and marched towards the long line of cars that was waiting for them. Sunlight lit up the silver necklaces on everyone’s necks like a sea of shimmering diamonds. I smiled as I took Colin’s hand, and we descended the stairs. I did not have to fake the look of adoration this time when I looked at Colin. As we walked past our pack members to the front of the cars everyone bowed their heads in respect. I saw a glimpse of Lianna and Tomasso, but I had to resist the urge to run toward them and pull them in for a tight hug. As far as the Russians were concerned, I was no longer their Alpha and my mind was solely focused on Colin.

I felt the importance of today weighing down on me with every breath I took, and my body felt tense and full of adrenaline. During the car ride, I tried to not think about all the lives that were at stake today. The car stopped in front of a small igloo-shaped building with big metal doors in front of it. I frowned while I looked outside because we were surrounded by a snowy landscape and nothing else. Surely this building would be too small to house thousands of people? With a loud buzz, the doors opened, revealing a secret pathway that led to an underground bunker. I swallowed loudly when I realized there was only one way inside this bunker, and no one would be able to escape if things went to shit. Colin noticed my unease and wrapped his arm around my shoulder before lowering his mouth to my ear. “I am right here by your side, lass,” he whispered and as usual a shiver went through my spine from his husky voice.

After what seemed like forever, we arrived at a parking space. There was only one other door in the parking space and before we were allowed to go through the Russian guards inspected us. They took anything that could be used as a weapon before they led us through to the massive training hall on the other side. Alpha Vlad stood in the middle of the hall, and he lifted his hands as soon as he saw Colin. He ignored me as usual and said, “Colin so good to see you. My apologies for the secret location and the precautions. Can never be too careful am I right?”

Colin nodded in agreement, and I tried to just submissively look at the floor, but I couldn’t help noticing that every Russian pack member was stacked with knives, guns, and God knows what more. Our own pack members seemed to be uncomfortable by the Russians smiling at them viciously while playing with their weapons. When the last of our pack members walked in the door behind them closed and locked itself with a loud thud. Colin looked unfazed when he spoke to Vlad, “How about we pair every single one of your soldiers against one of mine? They could use a bit of a hardening.”

Vlad’s eyes started to shimmer, of course, the idea of our pack members being almost helpless in the fight appealed to that sadistic bastard. He laughed, “You are a man to my heart Colin.”

He whistled high and short and immediately all his soldiers got in position facing one of our pack members. Seeing them work like a well-oiled machine made my heart pound and my palms started sweating. Vlad was so busy smiling at Colin that he didn’t notice all of our pack members shifting their attention to me. Their gaze fixated on me, waiting for my sign. My hands started trembling and just as I thought that my nerves got the better of me a voice filled my head.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

It was not Spirit but something from out of this world, as soon as the eerie voice spoke a wave of calmness hit me. “YOU HAVE PROVEN YOU ARE WORTHY BRAVE LITTLE SHE-WOLF. I HAVE CHOSEN YOU AND I WILL HELP YOU THROUGH THIS.”

I felt like I was looking at myself from above when my eyes lit up like moonlight and with one movement of my hand, all the light went out. I heard Alpha Vlad screams and ask what was going on before the eerie voice said, “NOW.” I heard the opening of the locket and then seconds later the sounds of bodies falling to the floor sound asleep.

I now understood that the same presence had guided me to the berries with flowers that day I walked around the forest. She had made me smell the flowers and inhale their powder and she had watched me fall asleep in seconds because she knew I would see the usefulness of it when I would wake up. She knew I would take all the powder I could find and add it to my master plan somehow.

I watched the light flicker before they lit up the room again and I saw all the Russian soldiers laying on the floor sleeping. I saw my pack members with open lockets staring at me with a mix of disbelief and astonishment in their eyes. The only one that did not seem to be scared of my glowing eyes and creepy voice was Colin. His hand remained firmly at my waist the whole time. Reassuring me that he was there right by my side. Alpha Vlad looked around in disbelief and he wailed angrily, “I WILL HAVE YOUR HEADS FOR THIS. I WILL KILL YOU ALL. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!”

His anger quickly disappeared when his gaze landed on me, and he saw my eyes and blue electricity flicker at my fingertips. He narrowed his eyes and hissed, “YOU?”

His confidence did not hold long when the eerie voice spoke again, “THE TIME FOR A NEW ERA HAS COME. IF WE WANT TO SURVIVE THERE IS NO PLACE FOR NARROW-MINDED WORMS LIKE YOU.”

Vlad wanted to lunge toward me, but blue flames emerged all around him with just a flick of my hand. “NO, YOU CANNOT DO THIS! I AM THE ALPHA, IIIIEEEEEEE” he roared before his screams turned to shrieks when the flames licked on his limbs. Turning him into ash slowly from head to toe until there was nothing left but a bundle of ash. He died screaming for help while his pack members just laid there sound asleep without a worry in the world.
