If Victor was planning to provoke the angry lycan, he shouldn't have stood too close and foolishly put himself in danger.
Especially when he was a magician and the only power he relied on was his magic. His second fatal mistake was that he had forgotten that the white beast wasn't even bothered by the magic he cast at her.
Because when Aurora attacked Victor and the man was frantically trying to save himself by using magic out of an instinct, he really had forgotten about that fact.
And the three beasts that were there didn't help either because they thought, Victor could handle the situation on his own.
Unfortunately, that mistake made the magician have to give up his right hand. In one slash, the white beast raised its extremely sharp claws and cut off Victor's hand.
The blood splatter from the wound tainted the beast's white fur and it made her roar furiously, ignoring the pain she had inflicted on Victor.
On the other hand, the three beasts, which were dumstruck, were silent, couldn't move from their place, witnessing what had just happened.
And when the white beast turned its attention away from the helpless Victor, they found his eyes had turned red, because the three beasts were standing too close to Clarice and Knox.
The white beast simply thought they would hurt her friend as well as her mate's little brother…
================
Draghar could not find Aurora in their room, nor in the great hall. Where is the girl at?
He tried to reach Aurora through mind-link, but he couldn't, it seemed they were too far apart…
And that's when Lathia came to Draghar and said what happened.
"Aurora, Clarice and Knox went with the wizard, Victor," Lathia told the Alpha.
"Where did they go?" Shouldn't Victor know where his position when an attack like this occurred? Why did the witch leave her position and instead take his mate away.
"Don't know, but they seem to be in a hurry," Lathia said again. "It seems that Aurora wants to save herself and…"
But, before the girl could finish her sentence, Draghar had left as if he no longer listening to the words she was saying.
Lathia who was left just like that stared at Draghar's back in annoyance and grumbled, while clenching her fists at her sides.
On the other hand, Draghar ran back outside and tried to catch the scent of Aurora or Clarice or his brother, only, he couldn't smell them. It was certain that this was Victor's doing, he erased their scent so as not to leave a trace.
Something wasn't right with today's attack… Draghar could sense it, but because of the battle that had taken place earlier, he didn't have time to think about it any further.
Now he could clearly see that the surprise attack was just a distraction.
They're after Aurora. Gerald wants his mate…
Given the number of traitors at the first check point, it is not difficult to guess that Aurora's presence in this pack has been known.
They're after Aurora and Draghar doesn't know where his mate is.
[COLLIN, BRING EVERYONE HERE! RIGHT NOW!] Draghar gave the order in his alpha voice.
[Woah…] Collin almost hit one of the trees while he was running, when he heard the command. [What is it? What happened?]
[THEY TAKES MY MATE!]
================
Aurora smirked triumphantly when she managed to overthrew the two beasts that attacked her, even though she was outnumbered and now only one brown beast was left, staring at her angrily.
During the fight earlier, the brown beast seemed not to want to join the fight, underestimating Aurora's abilities.
But, now that he had seen his two friends fall, he could no longer look at Aurora arrogantly.
It's really annoying when someone thought you were weak.
The brown beast then growled and circled around Aurora's body, trying to find the white beast's weak point by trying to attack her from behind.
But, of course that was the main rule of every fight; Don't let your enemy get behind you.
Her father had said that many times when Aurora cried because Kayden hit her too hard during their practice. The incident was very memorable.
"Looks like you don't need help." A voice startled the two beasts until they both stopped what they were doing.
And not far from them, Cole was seen leaning his back, while sitting at the root of a tree, watching the two beasts.
Since when has he been there? Neither the white beast nor the brown beast noticed it at all.
"Continue, continue..." Cole said with a smile on his lips, he looked very relaxed and didn't care about the fierce battle before his eyes, even when he saw Victor, he didn't flinch a bit, even though they were both fellow magician. "I just gave some comment, just go on. Let's just pretend I'm not here."
Seeing the brown beast was being distracted by Cole's presence, this moment was used by Aurora to attack her opponent.
In one very swift movement, Aurora slashed the neck of the brown beast with her claws, causing the brown beast to fall to the ground and blood oozing from the gaping wound on its neck.
Moments later, the brown beast lost its abilities and reverted back to its human form, but his injuries were too severe and its ability to heal wasn't fast enough to handle that.
The brown beast was a young man, who Aurora was sure was the lycan at check point one when she entered the pack last night. He was the one who opened her car door to check on her.
It turned out to be true, there were quite a few traitors within this pack. How is Draghar doing now?
It didn't take long for the shifter to finally give up and breath his last, in a pool of his own blood.
Meanwhile, the white beast didn't return to its human form. The beast was glaring at Cole. Who is this man? Is he a friend or foe?
Aurora couldn't lower her guard yet...
