227 She Did It

[Mona’s P.O.V.]

“Wow, you have a very beautiful wolf, but unfortunately…” Nicholas started to speak, but before he could finish, he screamed because Charlotte had already bitten him.

I felt Charlotte’s fangs pierce deeply into his right thigh as she bit through it. She had gone berserk the moment she transformed because she felt the same heartache as I did, the same indescribable anger. Her hair stood up along her spine as she moved faster than ever.

Charlotte dragged Nicholas around, then swung her neck to throw him out. He hit the space above the window again but his head hit the ceiling hard this time.

“This is impossible!” Nicholas screamed at us as he staggered to his functioning leg since his other had been torn open. Then, he flashed and I felt him appear behind me. When I looked back, he was gone again.

Before I let Charlotte take over, I had figured out how I could kill him, which meant Charlotte knew too. This would be our first and only attempt.

When Nicholas reappeared in front of Charlotte, she roared and charged at him, but he dodged before she could get to him. He flashed so fast that he might have been confident that we would never catch him.

But I was completely focused and I could tell my wolf was too. She lifted her nose into the air and sniffed. Then she took a few breaths and jerked to her left, opening her mouth wide.

…..
Sure enough, Nicholas appeared where Charlotte had been waiting, biting into his arm and making him scream. She bit harder and the smell of vampires and decay filled our noses. Just as vampires injected their venom into their victims, the venom from Charlotte’s fangs seeped into his blood vessels.

Charlotte tore at Nicholas again and threw him into the air. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. The moment he landed, he flashed but my wolf jumped toward his next flash point.

I saw Charlotte do the same thing to Nicholas again. No matter where he tried to flash, she could always find and bite him. It was amazing and I knew she could do it. I had thought long and hard about my final training with Alonso and what he had told me.

I could tell that Nicholas was exhausted since he was starting to flash shorter distances, allowing Charlotte to pound him with her claws in the hallway, each hit cutting deeply into his flesh. Then, she threw him straight down the stairs.

Charlotte followed, leaping several stories down. She landed like a cat, silently.

Then her claws began to tear at the helpless vampire again. He snarled sharply under her claws, and he flashed again, but only a short distance away.

Suddenly, a group of twenty or thirty vampires appeared, brandishing their weapons and hissing at Charlotte.

Just as I considered reverting to human form and dealing with the trouble with Hellfire, I saw werewolves charging in from the opposite direction.

I didn’t know all of them, but I could tell that they were well-trained werewolves, some in the form of a man with a weapon, some in the form of a wolf. They didn’t hesitate to rush towards the vampires, howling through the hall.

I saw a few more vampires rushing out from the back tunnel. But when they saw Nicholas in this state, they were shocked. Still, they let out their battle cries as they charged at us.

After going berserk, Charlotte had turned into an impeccable output machine. She killed the vampires like she was dusting off bookshelves. Their corpses were horrible to look at and thankfully, they soon turned into ashes.

“There he is!”

The next second, I heard a familiar voice roar.

I saw Nicholas trying to escape. He didn’t seem to have the strength to perform a long-distance flash anymore. After all, his flesh-torn body had already flown to the height of almost two floors.

Suddenly, a huge silver wolf jumped out. He headbutted Nicholas in my direction.

‘Charlotte, now!’ I immediately spoke to Charlotte.

My wolf jumped up as well, accurately grabbing Nicholas’ throat.

“This… is impossible…”

I heard Nicholas muttering, still trying to struggle.

‘You are blinded by your greed so you never thought that the person you desire will play you and kill you. You think that you and your accomplices will be the ultimate rulers, but the truth is that you are only fit to be the lowest of objects.’

I transmitted my words to Nicholas through my mind and watched as his eyes became filled with confusion and despair, just like Cain’s were when he was murdered.

Charlotte’s fangs sank deeper, torturing him. He didn’t even have the strength to scream. Then, she bit down with all her might, and Nicholas’ throat was completely torn open. His head rolled to the ground.

For a moment, I heard screams of pain all around me. The vampires that Nicholas had transformed either convulsed and fell or were reduced to ashes, while the others, who had not been transformed by him, hissed in horror and stopped their resistance.

Everyone watched as Nicholas ‘body was spat out by my wolf like a rag doll. His body and head emitted wisps of black smoke before they withered.

The tall silver wolf transformed back into human form and ran toward me, but I was still in Charlotte’s form.

I had to find the figure that had knelt kneeling in front of my mother. I could feel him close by.
