Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

132 Rescuing the Alphas (2)

When Lucien saw that Kinnon pounced on Ronan, he turned around to jump at Kinnon, but he ended up bumping against Bjorn instead. The giant wolf with silver-blond fur stood in front of him, blocking his access to Ronan and Kinnon.

“Move away!” Lucien wanted to say when he howled at Bjorn.

The wolf merely gave him an imperceptible head shake. He was not going to move.

Behind them, the wolves from both sides started to engage each other in a fight. Lucien saw the stronger ones from his pack take on two or three werewolves at once.

Seeing that Bjorn did not intend to fight, Lucien went to attack some of the werewolves from the Night Prowler Pack, but Bjorn kept interfering again and again. He kept preventing Lucien from attacking, but at the same time, he also prevented Lucien from being attacked.

It was then that Lucien understood what was happening.

Kinnon had ordered Bjorn to keep Lucien safe, while he himself went after Ronan.

If Ronan died, then the Silent Walkers Pack would lose a huge chunk of its fighting force.

If Ronan died, the Silent Walkers Pack would most likely fall into disarray.

.....

If Ronan died, the Night Prowler Pack would win the war without hurting Lucien.

If Ronan died, the object of Landon’s obsession disappeared. He might change his mind.

If Ronan died, there was a chance for Lucien and Kinnon to be together.

Ronan’s death could do so many things at once.

Lucien wanted to fling all kinds of curses to Kinnon and Bjorn. Ronan was innocent! Ronan did nothing wrong! If anything, Lucien was the one who had to pay for this mess. Ronan should not have to die!

Full of indignation, Lucien started attacking Bjorn. The latter was very calm. Himself a very capable fighter, he had no problems dodging Lucien’s attacks. He only gave Lucien occasional shoves with retracted claws when Lucien came too close to him. It was as if he was dealing with a little pup who just learned how to fight.

Lucien knew that Bjorn was just doing what Kinnon told him to do, but his actions enraged Lucien so much.

Many times Lucien feigned an attack just to turn around to go to where Ronan was, but Bjorn caught up with him again and again.

As the rain became heavier and heavier, it became more and more difficult to find Ronan. All the werewolves looked the same. It did not help that none of them stood still even for a second.

Wherever he wanted to go, Bjorn stepped in front of him like a ghost.

“Get lost!!!” Lucien barked at Bjorn, trying to headbutt the elder man.

After getting into a scuffle, Bjorn ended up pinning Lucien’s back to the wet, muddy ground.

Lucien snapped at Bjorn fiercely, but the latter refused to let him go. He might come to the realization that he should just immobilize Lucien to prevent him from running around.

The both of them froze in position when they heard the ominous booming sound. What followed was the sound of something falling from the edge of the cliff and the shrieks and howls of wolves that tried to escape the natural disaster as fast as possible.

Both Bjorn and Lucien got to their feet as fast as possible to see what was happening.

The werewolves that managed to escape the mudslide were shivering in their drenched forms, while the unlucky ones were trapped under the huge mass of mud. Trees were falling from the top of the cliff due to erosion. Stones that were hidden beneath the cliff surface were also falling down incessantly.

And then, a giant boulder came rolling down the cliffside and crashed onto the valley with an eardrum-shattering sound.

Lucien’s heart lurched to the ground. He could only hope that no one was smashed under the boulder. As if it had not done enough damage, the boulder continued rolling away from the mudslide.

Bjorn barked loudly at the surviving werewolves to get them out of the trance. They had to run for their lives. The mudslide was still continuing.

“Ronan!”

Against rationality, Lucien ran toward the mudslide instead. He was desperate to find Ronan.

Did Ronan get caught by the mudslide?

Did the boulder hit him?

Could he escape from the boulder?

Bjorn practically bumped his head many times against Lucien’s stomach and kept hitting him until the half-conscious Lucien agreed to turn around and move toward a safer spot.

The mudslide lasted for almost an hour. Lucien kept wanting to go and search for Ronan, but Bjorn stopped him with all his might. He only let Lucien go when the earth calmed down and everything stopped moving. By then the heavy rain already stopped, leaving the valley in a state of desolation.

In the face of the unexpected disaster, both packs agreed to stop the war and help each other. Acatha and Kendra went to Amberport to get some help. All the other wolves started digging at the huge mass to unearth anyone who might be trapped under the mudslide, no matter from which pack.

The scene was beyond grotesque. At their weakest point, the werewolves returned to their human forms. Some werewolves died on the spot while they were still in their wolf forms. Their corpses were ripped apart by the force of the slide.

Those who were found in their human forms were heavily injured. Although they were still alive, their breathing was shallow and their pulses were very weak.

Every time another werewolf was found, Lucien kept hoping that it was Ronan, and that he might be found alive. Unfortunately, despite having dug around for more than three hours, they were still unable to locate the Alphas.

Since Kinnon and Ronan were fighting each other at the time of the mudslide, they must be quite close to each other. But where exactly were they?

In his desperation, Lucien kept calling for Ronan in his heart.

‘Ronan...’

‘Ronan, where are you...?’

‘Ronan, please be safe...’

He called so many times until finally, Ronan answered.

Ten minutes after the werewolves dug out Ronan and Kinnon, a helicopter arrived with Acatha and Kendra inside.
