Chapter 1170: Aurora (49)

Torak waited until the people who were carrying weapons with silver bullets as their ammo, came out of the pack house and prepared to fight like that, like human, instead of shifting into their beast forms.

It was very pathetic to see those shifters, they seemed like they have lost their pride as a shifter.

The twenty two shifters who were still behind the rocks and walls, taking a shelter from the fire attacks that their enemies would launch, were still waiting for the alpha's next order.

They didn't know what to do in a situation like this, but if the alpha wanted them to surrender or fight to the death, then that was what they would do without a second thought.

Therefore, the beasts were very surprised when they saw Torak walking out of his hiding place, in his human form and strolled very casually towards their enemies.

There were no orders, no plans, there was nothing for those lycans, who had fought with him from the start and lost many of their comrades.

The supreme alpha seeming took this matter into his hand alone.

What was in his mind right now? Instead of giving them orders or instructing something, Torak would just give up?

The beasts there looked at each other, assuming that was the Alpha's decision.

And not only that, since Draghar and Rose were not there, automatically Alpha Torak would have full control over them, but what was his intention with what he was doing now?

Did the alpha intend to commit suicide? Or gave themselves up in frustration at not being able to find his daughter and now they were surrounded by the enemies?

Whatever reasons crossed their minds, none of them made sense.

They were fighting alongside a Donovan, the most prestigious family of shifters that was known for their beastly side, so it was impossible to see a Donovan give up so easily…

However, the confusion didn't last long, because a few moments later, Torak answered all of that…

Still walking towards the gun- wielding members of the Blue River pack, Torak lifted both his arms at his sides, as the armed lycans in front of him raised their weapons and aimed them at Torak simultaneously.

Of course, no matter how strong a Donovan was, or how impervious they were to most magic, they would still be injured when facing silver.

And now, there wasn't just one, but about thirty rounds of bullets about to be fired at him at the same time and Torak still didn't look scared at all.

He didn't budge from his position.

"If you keep going, I will shoot you!" Chio exclaimed. The alpha was standing at the very back of the armed forces. "The whole world will know if I am the one who kill the Donovan. They will be afraid of me, as the one who killed the supreme alpha!"

Chio was the Alpha of the Blue River pack, but his was so cunning for his own good, making him more worthy of being called a bandit than an alpha.

"You heard what I said Donovan!?" Chio roared when he saw Torak not stop walking towards him. "Prepare weapons! Aim at him!" The alpha's voice boomed.

Meanwhile, the sky slowly turns orange when the sun was about to set.

In Chio's order, all of the lycans there prepared their gun and aimed at Torak, waiting for the next order to kill the Donovan, right then and there.

================ 

Rose remembered that there was a back door in this pack house, but since the last time she had been in this place was so long ago, she had a little trouble finding the door again.

Draghar and Rose encounter several guards in the process of searching for the door, and they both managed to kill all of them.

It was not a difficult job to do for the siblings. The two of them seemed to have their own understanding when it came to situations like this and Rose was very reliable.

And once they found the door and entered the pack house, they both found many women and children sheltering there, terrified of their attack.

When they saw Rose and Draghar step in, everyone immediately covered their children and tried not to have eye contact with the two of them.

But, Rose grabbed a young woman's hand, who was hugging her daughter and started questioning her.

"Don't hurt me, please, I don't know anything," the young woman began to cry while protecting her child behind her body.

"I won't hurt you, but tell me where do they usually keep a prisoner?" she asked.

There were too many people in this room, so they couldn't catch Aurora's scent and Draghar still was not able to reach her through mind link.

Something must have happened to Aurora that she was like that and Draghar made sure that he would avenge any unfair treatment that his mate had to endure.

Those bastards would pay for every wound on her body.

Stuttering, the woman pointed towards the second floor of the house. Towards one of the doors they could see from there.

And without wasting much time, Draghar and Rose immediately rushed up to the second floor.

================ 

"Impossible…" Chio mumbled, his voice clearly trembled with disbelief at what he was seeing, while his eyes widened at the sight of the blazing flames.

The flames were blue, from a bird that appeared out of thin air on Torak's palm and stopped the silver bullets aimed at him.

This was the legendary firebird belonged to the Donovan family and not many people have seen this.

This firebird was also the one that helped them during the battle against the demons and was a sacred animal for the Donovans.

And now, the firebird was moving around Torak, leaving fire dust around its beautiful figure, but as if understanding what its master wanted, at once the firebird let out a breath of fire that burned the lycans who were pointing weapons at the alpha.

Some of those who didn't have time to escape had to succumb to the bird's fire and die instantly, while their weapons melted into molten iron on their roasted corpses.

Meanwhile some of the lycans were still pointing their guns and firing the bullets.

But, every time the bullets tried to penetrate the wall of fire created by the firebird, they instantly melted and fell to the ground, becoming something worthless.

Seeing this, Chio didn't stay still, he ordered the two magicians on his left and right to take down the firebird, however, just like the Donovans, the firebird was ineffective against magic.

In fact, one of the reasons why the Donovans could be immune to magic was because they had this sacred bird within them.

And realizing that his efforts were in vain, the magicians stopped and advised Chio to retreat immediately.

"I will not run away from him!" Chio shouted stubbornly, he couldn't believe that he was utterly defeated. He felt that after discovering how to produce those silver bullets on a large scale, he was the most powerful person in this realm.

In a rage, Chio grabbed a nearby rifle that was being used by one of the lycans, and with that weapon now, he tried to shoot those silver bullets at Torak. Did it continuously and hope to have different results.

Meanwhile, behind Torak, the beasts from Draghar's pack began to emerge from their hiding places, as they witnessed many gun- wielding lycans had been killed by the flames dancing beautifully around the alpha.

And now, it was their time to counterattack.

================ 

As they climbed the stairs, Draghar could smell Aurora and immediately knew where she was, only there was one more scent that made him frown in disbelief.

He felt that this scent was very misplaced, because Draghar smelled Collin's scent at this moment.

But it turned out to be true…

The beta stood before Draghar and Rose with a rifle in his hand. It didn't take a genius to guess that the bullet inside the rifle was silver.

"I wonder where you have been during this attack, but it turns out you have arrived first," Draghar said to the beta.

He felt betrayed to see the beta, the person he trusted, stab him in the back. Was he that horrible that he had to be betrayed so many times?

Draghar then shook his head vigorously and focused himself on his original goal. This was not the time to think about that.

"Hi, Draghar, as well as Rose…" Collin said lightly, but he didn't lower the gun that was aimed directly at Draghar's head.

"You are an asshole, you know that, don't you?" Rose said in a toneless voice, she seemed to be looking around her, thinking about how to escape Collin's aim, but she couldn't find anything to help.

"Get out of my way, Collin, or I won't hesitate to kill you," Draghar growled dangerously. He then turned his attention away from the gun in Collin's hand, to the man's face, staring deeply into his eyes. "You will regret what you have done."

"I don't think so," Collin replied, then shook his head slowly, stuffing his free hand into his trouser pockets. "You are a predictable person Draghar… you really came to save your lover."

Rose grabbed Draghar's hand, she knew that Collin was only provoking him to do something reckless.

"Are you traumatized because in the past Gerald once hurt your girl?" Collin asked in a sickening voice. "And now he is going to do it again..."
