Both Artemis and Elias were panting hard as they tried to stand up straight. They do not want to kneel in front of the warlock who was looking down at them in disdain. It was demeaning of them to kneel down to an unworthy person like this warlock.
"Is this all the Alpha and the Beta could do?" Rehan said with contempt.
Artemis' eyes narrowed while Elias just growled at the insult. The two of them were already exhausted. And the fact that the warlock was even stronger than the mutated rogue, it does not fare well for them.
At first, some of Artemis' packmates wanted to come over to them but the Alpha had already sent them an order to not come via the mind-link. He did not want them to suffer and be killed.
Paccia already had her hands full, protecting Aric and Skoll so there wasn't much she could do to assist the two shifters.
Rehan slowly walked towards the two shifters who were still struggling to stand up straight. Both of them not wanting to show any weaknesses in front of this demn warlock.
Rehan quickly snapped his fingers, using his thumb and pointer finger. The moment he snapped his fingers, an invisible force suddenly hit the two shifters at random areas of their bodies, making them wince in pain. It seems as though the attack was not weak.
The warlock continued to cast invisible attacks on the two shifters. The mutated rogue wanted to get up and assist the warlock but after Rehan had given him a deathly warning look, he backed down.
The attacks continued for nearly an hour until suddenly, Rehan stopped and looked up.
Artemis and Elias too looked up behind them. They felt something was coming and it was coming fast.
Before they could analyze whether that something was a friend or foe, that 'something' had already jumped on Rehan.
That 'something' was too fast for Rehan to react and counter back. The two rolled on the ground and finally stopped with the 'something' straddling Rehan below him.
Artemis, Elias and the other packmates felt happiness and relief flooding their mind and heart when they saw it was the Alpha of the Kendall, Willem!
He was finally here!
'Alpha…' Elias tried to mind-link.
'Bring the others back to safety,' Willem ordered through the mind-link. 'The other packmates are on their way here. Leave the rest to me.'
The Alpha of the Kendall pack looked strong and powerful as he stood, his back to Artemis and the others. His jet black mane shone, showing healthy fur. He looked very reliable at that moment.
Elias looked behind him and saw that there were indeed some of the familiar faces coming over. He saw Aric's mate, Melody and Roel among the few of them.
Elias quickly rushed over to them and began to shout out orders.
Most of the rogue's have already been killed by the Cesaro packmates so there wasn't anything much to be dealt with.
Melody's eyes were red, brimmed with tears when she saw the condition of her mate. It took a lot in her to not collapse in anger and frustration for not being able to be with him when he had suffered. Despite the anger and the frustration that she was feeling, it was not as if she was full of self-blame. Nor did she blame her mate because if she was in his shoes, she would do the same. All for the pack.
Paccia gently calmed her down and then told her to bring Aric out for an immediate medical attention. Right now, her mate needs her.
Melody nodded. Together, she and Roel, who had been quiet all this while, carried Aric out of the area.
Seeing that they were going to escape, the mutated rogue wanted to stop them by chasing after them. But he could not even get close to them because of Artemis and Elias, who prevented him from doing so.
Meanwhile, Willem was sending blows after blows at Rehan, who swiftly evaded the attacks. For every blow Willem sent, Rehan countered with a magic attack.
With their attack connected with each other, it was so powerful that the climax blew them away, sending them a few metres away from each other.
It was quite strong to the extent that it did damage to both warlock and shifter's inner bodies. Blood could be seen dripping down the two's mouth.
"So, this is the Alpha of the Kendall," Rehan surmised.
Willem growled as he narrowed his eyes dangerously at the warlock in front of him. "I don't waste time talking with disgusting warlocks," he retorted.
Anger could be seen flashing in Rehan's eyes before it disappears.
And in seconds, there was a huge tree being pulled out of its roots and suddenly it levitated in the air before being thrown towards Willem.
Willem immediately protected himself by placing his arms in front of him. The tree broke into two as it crashed against the shifter.
Before Willem put his arms down, a large boulder was thrown at him again. But this time, the shifter managed to avoid it by leaning back to the ground. The boulder missed him by a hair's breadth, which instead hit some trees behind Willem.
Rehan wanted to attack once more when he suddenly froze. He then turned his head towards where the mansion supposedly and frowned. His face grew cold.
He then turned to the mutated rogue, who was busy fighting against Artemis and Elias and ordered, "We're leaving."
Without any question asked, the rogue quickly jumped up and sent both of his kicks towards the other two shifters, kicking them a few meters away. "Yes, Lord Rehan."
Willem growled as he quickly ran towards Rehan. "You're not going anywhere!" he roared.
Rehan just ignored him. And with a snap of his fingers, the area around them started to become foggy.
Willem and the other packmates suddenly could not see anything. Not even those in front of them.
After a few minutes, the fog slowly dispersed and the warlock and the mutated rogue were nowhere to be seen.
All that was left with the remains of the dead rogues and warlocks. It was as if Rehan did not care what would happen to their corpse and just leave them to rot.
Willem looked towards where the mansion was and said solemnly, "Let's chase after them."
Elias and the other Kendall packmates immediately shouted, "Yes, Alpha!"
Artemis then turned to the Cesaro packmates and said, "Let's go too."
"Yes, Alpha!"
-----
"That's it?" Dane mocked as he walked closer to Krys who was still lying unconscious on the floor.
Kicking away the crumbling debris that surrounded the young warlock, Dane looked around at the place where Krys had fallen through.
Apparently, it was the same room where Makena was held before. It was such a bleak room with nothing inside other than a toilet, a sink and a bed. Because Krys had crashed through the wall, the water pipes that were connected to the sink and toilet were broken. Water spurted out from the broken pipes, giving an image of a water fountain.
Dane's face grew darker when he saw how barren the place was. Although the place did not look as dirty as one might have expected, seeing how there was a metal door there, with no windows, it would drive a sane person to craziness.
'The feck is this place?' Erick exclaimed in Dane's mind. 'This is like a place for the loonies! Who can live in this room for years??'
Dane scowled as he took a sniff around. He could smell a familiar lingering scent. 'Makena,' Dane replied back.
'Deng.'
While he was looking around the demolished room, he could hear a stirring sound near his paws. He looked down and saw Krys stirring, about to wake up.
Before the young warlock could wake up, the shifter knocked him unconscious once more.
Soon after, he looked out to where he and Kaius came from and murmured softly, "Seems like we'll be expecting some guests soon."
