Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

My Alpha, the vampire armies are at the front of the pack border," Darius told Alpha Gaius, who was a little bit taken aback.

After what the prophetess said he have been training the pack army tirelessly hoping it was a future battle who knew it would be this quick.

Luna Catherine was in the room when Darius let out the information, she began to panic, holding onto her baby tightly.

"We can't let them get a hold of my baby," she said in a shuddered tone as Alpha Gaius rushed towards her to hug her tightly, "Don't worry I won't let them take her away no matter what it takes," he assured her before turning to give Daruis an order.

"Get the armies ready for the war," Darius nodded and left to do what he was instructed to do.

"A war..! Vampires are known scavengers and demons, they have eliminated a lot of packs already,"

"Well we can't fold our hands and watch them either, we have to do what it takes to keep the baby safe Catherine," Catherine knew that her husband was right, it's just that she was scared of the bloodshed that may lead to loosing love ones.

"The soldiers are all on their formations, we are waiting to hear your command," Beta Darius informed Alpha Gaius, walking towards him with Ambrose beside him.

"That's good," Gaius nodded his head in appreciation.

"Aren't you going with your horse," Ambrose asked after noticing that Gaius was heading to war without his favorite horse.

"Not for this war, I want to fight with the vampires like a true wolf, with my claws and wolf strength," his eyes flashed with fury, folding his arms tight as he pictured that the vampire lord was close to him and he could punch him on the face.

"Darius you're coming with me, Ambrose you're staying behind," Gaius instructed as Ambrose eyebrows raised in shocked.

"I hope it not what I said that makes you want to leave me behind," Ambrose inquired worriedly.

"Of course not, I just want to make sure that someone is there to ensure the people's safety and that of my daughter's, in case of any unforeseen circumstances,we can't let the vampires harm them," Gaius explained his reason which put Ambrose at ease.

"Fine, I'll make sure to protect the people especially your daughter," Ambrose assured him.

"Take care brother," Darius said, dragging Ambrose towards him so he could give him a hug, Gaius did same as well.

"Take care too, brothers," Ambrose said, as he watched them head to the battle ground.

"Hmm, saviors of the werewolf packs, who would believe a great pack like this would fall one day," the King Matei mocked, with a evil sneer that made Alpha Gaius blood boil. "Only a wolf that was born with no legs will find it hopeless of getting back to a race," Alpha Gaius stated, looking fearless with his soldiers.

"Motivational speech coming from a scared dog that will soon have his legs chopped off, hmmm, how hilarious" The vampire King continued to mock, making the rest of the vampires laugh with him. 

"You may chop off our feet but that doesn't mean you have chopped off all the Red Moon Pack feet, a pack has been chosen by the goddess itself, the pack with the moon that will always find a way to lead at night, the red moon pack, we will neither surrender nor give up, even if we die today, we die as Red Moon Warriors," Alpha Gaius raged, he turned into a dark, hairy, ferocious werewolf and his pack soldiers did the same.

Attack," Alpha Gaius commanded his soldiers as King Matei did the same, werewolves began howling and revealing their sharp claws while Vampires revealed their pointy fangs and wings. The shrilling sound from mystics fighters and their weapons could be heard, the battle ground that once looked peaceful was now cover with bloods and dead bodies and a vile smell emanated from it, both parties suffered great loss and non seems to be on the loosing end.

King Matei hide round a corner watching as Alpha Gaius drain his energy on killing his soldiers. 

"You Coward, thought you wanted a fight yet you hid and watch your zombies take the blow for you," Alpha Gaius bellowed, looking round after noticing that King Matei wasn't around.

Matei let out a menacing laugh and chimed in, "Who said I am hiding, am just waiting for the perfect time to strike," Matei use his Vampire speed and quickly pushed Alpha Gaius to a tree.

"I was waiting for you to be in your weakest state," he continued, walking toward Gaius who could barely stand up, he suddenly rushed toward Matei again, grabbing him by the neck and flinging him towards another direction.

"That what weak predator do, strike their preys in their lowest state," Alpha Gaius criticized, Although he was too weak to fight back, he wasn't ready to give up.

"Call it what you want, a winner will always be a winner," Matei grabbed a sword on the floor and plunged into Alpha Gaius chest with an evil grin, enjoying the view of seeing Gaius grasped for air.

"I may die today but so will you, no matter how immortal you think you are," Gaius struggled to say through the pains.

"Tell that to your daughter, whose gonna be doing you soon," Matei scoffed before tossing Alpha Gaius dead body away.

"Gaius..., Darius yelled, running towards the lifeless body of Gaius, but was stop by Sage who's mouth was filled with bloods of werewolf warrior that he had bitten.

"Where do you think you're going?" He teased turning to look at Alpha Gaius lifeless body with and evil grin.

"Your poor old fella? Don't worry you'll be joining him soon," Sage mocked with a prideful smirk and dashed towards Darius who flinged him away with all his might.

Sage spread out his wing and rushed toward Darius again, punching him hard on the face as Darius weakly fall to the ground.

Sage was about to pierce his claws into Darius, but Darius quickly carried a silver dagger and slash Sage with it, Sage scream due to the unbearable pain from the cut and before he could fight back, Darius had already knocked him to the ground.

Darius raised the dagger to the air and was about to stab Sage but he felt a sharp pain in his chest, he turned to see that he had been stab by Matei, before he had the chance yo react, Matei draw out the sword and stabbed him deeper with it, he pushed Darius lifeless body out of his son and then supported his son to get up.

"The next kill is the baby," Matei bragged and turn to give his son a confident smile.

"Father," Stefan shouted, running to stand besides his father.

"I've attacked all the werewolves protecting the border, the borders are free to enter now," he informed his father, satisfied with the huge smile that was on his face.

"Good, now it's time for us to kill the baby, I hope I can entrust you with doing that," Matei said and his excited son knelt in front of him.

"Yes Father, I promise not to fail you," he happily assured his father who said nothing but walked away.

Sage was furious at the fact that his brother was chosen to kill the baby and not him.

"Let see who will get to the baby first," he said to himself, waiting patiently for his father to be far away before making his first move.
