The Strong Bond novel Chapter 27

'Are you disobeying your Alpha?' He asks annoyed.

'You are not the Alpha at the moment' Lena retorted, not thinking her comment was most likely a low blow.

Keith couldn't believe Lena was acting this way, and frankly he was not going to let her talk to him like that. He might not be they're Alpha yet, but she still had to show respect, because he still out ranked her. Shifting back to his human form, Keith walks over to Lena grabbing her by the arm. "We are leaving now, and when we get back to the pack house. We are going to have a little talk" He tells her in a low angry tone that left no room for argument. Lena could tell he was definitely not happy with her comment, but no point trying to fix what she said now. She knew she would have to apologize later to him, but at the moment he was only making her mate extremely pissed off. Lena went to speak in hopes to defuse some of the tension in the air, when suddenly Damian comes charging towards Keith.

"LENA" A woman screams in horror catching both men's attention.

Once Keith grabbed his mates arm, pure rage flooded any common sense after that. He shifted back into his human form while charging right for Keith, and plunging them both into the ground. Throwing punch after punch not giving Keith a fighting chance. Just as Keith broke free to fight back a woman screams Lena's name, catching their full attention. Damian turns to see a brown wolf attacking Lena, and wasted no time running to her aid.

As soon as Damian tackled Keith to the ground making Lena lose her balance. She was grateful she had good reflexes, and carefully landing so she didn't further her injury. Before Lena could compare hand everything that was going around her. Powerful jaws clamped down onto her shoulder, dragging her backwards.

The wolf that had Lena between her razor-sharp teeth began to shake viciously like Lena was type of rag doll. Lena was doing everything she could do to fight back, but it was hard with only one working arm, and foot. She began to grow weaker from the blood loss, and noticed everything started to blur together before suddenly darkness took over.

Damian wrapped one arm around the she-wolfs throat while his other free hand went to her head. Not wasting a second more, he snaps her neck killing the she-wolf instantly.

Lena slowly opened her heavy eyelids, letting them adjust to the over bearing light that seemed blinding. Carefully she tried to seat up to see where she was. As soon as she made a move, sharp burning pain shot over her injured shoulder.

"Lena honey you're awake" Her mother croak as she jumped out of her seat that was next to her bed. Before Lena could utter a word her mother had her wrapped up in her arms crying.

"I'm going to go get the pack doctor" Her mother's states, her breaking her from her thoughts.

After the doctor was done examining Lena, he said she was going to be fine. That there was no major damage done, and would heal completely. He wanted her just to take it easy next couple of weeks, because she did loss a lot of blood. Even though she was almost completely healed she still would feel weaker then usually, because of the blood loss.

"If you're up to it, there are some people downstairs waiting to see you" her mother says after the pack doctor left.

"Yes, that's fine" Lena smiles. As her mother left the room, Lena couldn't help hope that filled inside her. That of one of them would be Damian, but that was soon answered, as everyone enter her room. Her heart sank in disappointment, even though she was still happy to see who did come. She knew it would be a very slim chance that he be here with her friends and family. But a girl could still hope, right?
