The Unwanted Mate

Chapter 77

"You're slow, " Keiran said and moved to the left when Victor tried to stab him.

"If my leg wasn't injured, you would have died long ago, shithead!" The vampire lunged at the alpha in front of him.

Keiran swiftly moved to the side, dodging his attack with a stoic expression.

"I'm getting bored now, " The alpha did a fake yawn, causing his opponent to fume.

"You're bored because you're not attacking! This is supposed to be a knife battle but I'm the only one attacking, "

"Okay, then…" Keiran shrugged. "I'll attack now…" He smirked. "try to survive my moves, "

"Don't be so overconfident. Not everything go as you plan, Keiran, "

"Argh! That fucker stabbed my leg! " Calvin cursed as he clutched his leg in pain.

"Try to stand up on the other leg, " Josh suggested while taking down a hunter who charged towards them at full speed.

"Yeah, I'm trying to do that, "

"Do you want to go to Amelia? "

Calvin shook his head. "No, I think I'll be able to manage. My healing should kick in a few minutes, "

"Stay straight and look out for the hunters. Here, " The beta threw a gun towards Calvin. "use my gun in the meantime. I'll manage with the knives and blades, "

"Thanks, " Calvin sighed.

"Focus on the Westside and leave the other to me, "

"Did you hear anything from them?" Rain asked Scarlett as he paced around the hallway.

"Yes, don't worry. None of them are injured, " Scarlett tried to calm the boy who obviously wasn't listening.

"Why did no one wake me up when they left? " He whined.

"Because you needed rest, honey. Calvin told me to let you rest well. Also, he told me to give you your medicine too. You don't have to worry, they'll be back in no time, "

"I can't calm myself, Scarlett. I feel like something bad is going to happen, " The omega gripped his hair.

"Don't think things like that. Nothing bad is going to happen. But if you stress yourself like that, you'll definitely get a headache, "

"Will they be alright?" Rain looked up at the former luna.

Scarlett sighed. "Of course, they'll be. I heard that our enemies brought fewer hunters than expected so the fight will be over soon, "

"I just hope they return home safe and sound, "

"They will so don't you worry your pretty little mind like that, okay? " She ruffled the boy's hair. "Do you want to cook something? I know you like to do that, "

"I'm too anxious to do anything now, "

"Don't worry, your anxiety will go away when we cook something delicious, "

"I need to go to Keiran, " Evelyn sighed. "We should end this fight as soon as possible, "

"Maybe killing Victor would help with that, " Niya added. "I wonder why Keiran is taking so long to kill that Vampire, "

"He's the leader. He must have something up his sleeve. I can't let their fight continue for long… It doesn't seem right, "

"Hmmm….. " The witch hummed. "I agree with you. This fight needs to end soon or it will be too late, "

"Urgh! Fuck!" The vampire shouted when Keiran's knife pierced his bicep.

"I told you….try not to die, "

"I won't die, you fucker! No matter what you do! I'll kill you and drink your blood! Right in front of your slutty mate! "

"You fucker! " The alpha seethed, getting ready to lunge at the vampire once again.

"Oh, look who's here! I just mentioned you and you've already graced us with your presence, "

Keiran paused when he heard Victor's words. "What? " He whipped his head around to see Evelyn looking at him worriedly.

"Evelyn? What are—"

He couldn't finish the sentence.

He saw his mate's expression change from worry to panic in a split second. He moved but couldn't escape the hit.

"KEIRAN! " Evelyn screamed but before she could stop it the alpha had already been stabbed.

Keiran grunted in pain, clutching his right bicep.

Evelyn sprinted towards him in panic. Seeing her mate all bloody made her head spin.

"You backstabbed me! " The alpha spat out, glaring at the vampire.

"Of course," Victor smiled. "How could I miss such a wonderful opportunity? "

"Keiran, are you okay?! Do you need Amelia here? " Evelyn tried not to sob as she questioned.

"Don't worry, love. I'm alright, " The alpha tried to calm his mate.

"Actually you're not. That was a poisoned knife, " The vampire grinned.

"What?! " Evelyn almost had a heart attack.

"Just how low are you going to fall for this?" Keiran gritted his teeth.

"What do you mean? I always play dirty. Why are you surprised, Keiran? You should've expected this, " Victor shrugged. "You're going to slowly die and after that, I'll take your mate with me. But don't worry, Keiran, I'll treat her as my dearest pet, "

"I'll kill you if you touch her! " The alpha struggled to stand up.

"Keep moving, Keiran. It'll only help the poison to spread faster,"

"Keiran, stay still please, " Evelyn's voice broke as she spoke.

"But he's—"

"It's okay. I'll take care of him, " She tried to calm down the alpha.

"You? A woman trying to take care of me? What a joke, " Victor laughed.

Evelyn didn't even flinch. She balled her fists. The vampire deserves no sympathy.

"Shut the fuck up, Victor! "

"Keiran stop moving!'' Evelyn scolded the alpha. She ripped off a piece of her clothing and tied it above the wound to slow down the blood flow.

"Our alpha is injured, " Josh said when he saw Keiran sitting on the floor.

"What? Keiran?! " Calvin looked around frantically. He cursed when he saw his best friend's state. "Oh fuck, Derned is up! "

The betas looked at Derned who was standing with a smirk on his face.

The vampire laughed before he ran in their direction.

"He's coming at us, " Josh gritted his teeth.

"He isn't, " Calvin gulped. "He's aiming towards Keiran, "

"What….. ?"

No way…

"Evelyn! " Josh shouted but the omega was too focused on tending her mate's wounds to hear.

The situation was deadly.

"Fuck! " The beta cursed when he saw Derned taking out his knife.

There was no time.

Calvin shouted and tried to stop Josh but everything happened so fast.

The beta ran and fired his gun at the vampire to stop him but Derned's moves were too fast.

The knife flew towards Keiran.

There was no way to stop it.

The only thing Josh could do to save the alpha was jump in front of it….

And that's what he did.

Evelyn flinched when she heard the beta's scream.

She whipped her head towards the direction it came from.

Her pupils dilated and a gasp flew out of her lips.

The sight made her head spin.

Josh was on the ground with a knife pierced on his right shoulder.

"JOSH! "
