524 Saving One’s Mate

The door groaned as the pounding of the vicious rogue got stronger, wilder and more feral, sending waves of terror through Madeline’s spine.

It felt like the more the rogue struggled to get into the room, the more vicious it would be once it broke through. Stepping towards the door to add to the barricade was totally out of the question now.

Madeline might have miraculously found the courage to run away from it earlier but she wasn’t about to take another step closer to that monster.

“He’s going to break through!” she squealed over the mind link, desperately directing her thoughts through the chaotic mind link and towards the male that had given her instructions earlier.

The door shuddered once more, the chair groaning against the pressure as more cracks netted its surface.

Madeline wondered whether the voice would come again. In her fear, she hadn’t been able to recognise who was behind it.

Now, she was stuck in a hospital room, trapped and clueless about what she was going to do next. She’d only delayed the inevitable… she was still in danger.

When she looked around, she noticed it wasn’t just any hospital room. The room she was in took the form of a laboratory, with different kinds of equipment everywhere.

Everything had been abandoned though… and there wasn’t any sign of life.

.....

“Now get to higher ground,” the voice came again, calm as it had been before.

Madeline wasn’t good at using the mind link to locate others but she could tell that the voice was coming from someone closer now. The girl scanned the room for some sort of leverage. Tables lined the walls, Petri-dishes, microscopes, centrifuges and several other machines she didn’t know about.

‘Higher ground… Higher ground,’ she thought to herself, staring at her hands and forming fists.

With renewed determination, she came up with some sort of plan before getting to work. There was someone coming to rescue her. She was sure of it…

Her job was to make sure they didn’t find her dead by the time they arrived.

...........

Kyle had long since shifted into his werewolf form. A large fearsome black wolf tore across the medical floor at an alarming speed. He didn’t care for anyone he frightened on his way through the confusing halls.

And neither did his wolf. With the both of them this determined, it felt as though his top speed had doubled, propelling him faster through the halls, barely touching the ground as he blurred through the mess of death and destruction.

After hearing Madeline’s voice over the mind link, he’d gained some sense of direction. He’d already surmised from their earlier interaction that the grey-eyed damsel-in-distress wasn’t strong.

In fact, when he’d held her the day before, he’d sensed an abnormal level of weakness, even for a wolf.

Still, that didn’t change his initial opinion of her. It wasn’t like he’d always expected to be paired with a pack warrior that could go head-to-head with his alpha-level capabilities.

There was more to a mate than just strength to match his own. One’s mate was meant to complement them in ways they could not imagine and Kyle was perfectly content with her the way she was.



Then again, that meant he had to protect her with his entire being. The Great Arena was in a state of chaos. The King’s orders helped to put some order to that chaos but fear was a hard emotion to fight against.

“He’s going to break through!” Madeline’s frightened voice screamed directly into his mind.

‘A private link?’ he thought to himself.

She’d pinpointed his mind after hearing his voice only once. Since she didn’t call him by his name, he could tell she had no idea who he was… not that it bothered him.

The important thing was that she’d managed to buy time… She wasn’t in direct danger anymore. Not for long, but it was still something.

He still had time…

The wolf pushed himself even harder, rushing forward, barely decelerating at corners as he made his way closer to her location.

“Now get to higher ground,” he replied.

Making a couple of more turns, he finally saw it.

A dirty grey wolf slammed into a door and ripped it right off its hinges with a deranged look in its eyes.

‘A rogue?’

Kyle’s eyes flashed red and he let out a loud growl, capturing the rogue’s attention before it could enter the room.

The rogue’s frightening demeanour crumbled at the sight of the menacing beta alpha barreling towards it. Lunging forward, the smaller wolf met the wrath of Kyle’s mighty paw.

The large black wolf slammed the rogue into the wall, cracks running netting it before it went unconscious.





Kyle then shifted into his human form and rushed into the room, “Madeline, are you…”

“Up here…” a frightened voice called out to him.

Kyle’s voice trailed off, ‘…alright?’

And his eyes followed Madeline’s slowly going up until he locked eyes with a familiar pair of grey eyes. The owner of these eyes, however, was at the top of a high towering stack of tables and chairs…

“How…?”

‘Damn… That’s ‘higher ground’, alright,’ the beta alpha chuckled, covering his mouth to hide his amusement.

..............

Madeline turned out to be only slightly shaken by the whole ordeal, thanks to the voice that had guided her through it.

Her heart was beating a great rhythm even long after she was out of trouble. Kyle, while exercising a lot of restraint to keep himself from laughing, helped the Seeker down from the fortress of tables and chairs that she’d miraculously put up.

“When I said higher ground…” he covered his mouth.

Now that he thought about it, he hadn’t really given her many options to start with, “…you know what, never mind. You did well.”

“Hey, stop laughing. I was really scared, you know! And how can you be laughing at a time like this?” Madeline squealed, hitting the alpha’s shoulder.

Reminded of the trouble they were in, Kyle was ripped out of his tiny bubble of amusement, “Isn’t that all the more reason to find a reason to smile though? If we can’t smile at times like this, then what’s left?”

The Seeker sighed, “You’re right but I’d advise you to store the laughter and smiles for after the chaos has died down. Don’t you hear them, Kyle? I can’t do much but I know you can.”

“You take first priority,” the male responded, his voice stern.

“I’m fine now…”

“Stay by my side until I get you to safety,” Kyle said—ordered.

“Okay,” Madeline’s eyes darted to the ground, her cheeks feeling a little hotter.

The beta alpha held her hand in his and led her out of the room and into the halls. The elevator was still closed, the lights on it showed how busy it was at the moment.

‘Alpha Cole, I’ve got Madeline. I’m on the hospital floor. What’s the situation?’ Kyle transmitted his thoughts.

It took a while for the king to respond.

And while he waited, Kyle did his best to ignore the voices screaming in his head. A wave of restlessness took over him, begging him for help… begging him to act.

However, the alpha remained still for two reasons.

Most of the people that were calling out to him were too far for him to reach. Even if he were to reach them, he would not be in time to save them. The best he could hope for was that pack warriors closer to them would save them instead.

He had to trust that they would be able to save them in his stead. He could not be in so many places at once.

On the other hand, he could protect Madeline.

The second reason was that he couldn’t launch himself into the fray without a decent plan. The orders from the king of Sirius had been issued and for a moment, there seemed to be some form of order but after Kyle had broken off to find Madeline, he’d lost track of that order.

Now he didn’t know what was happening which was why he was contacting Cole for more details on what was happening.

‘Kyle, werewolves are being moved to the upper floors while humans are being moved to the lower floors. Shifting humans are to be led to floors 19, 20 and 21 which will serve as some sort of middle ground and sealed.

Once the humans have been fully evacuated, the werewolves will follow. We’ll figure out what to do with the shifting humans once everything has calmed down,” Cole’s voice rang out through the mind link, clarifying what he was meant to do.

‘What about rogues?’ Kyle asked.

‘What do you mean?’ Cole’s voice was laced with a bit of tension and curiosity.

‘I found a rogue chasing after Madeline. There are rogues in the Great Arena,’ Kyle responded.

‘WHAT?’ thunder boomed across the sky, shaking the Great Arena.
