Werewolf Academy's Alpha novel Chapter 73

"Why did you wait?!" I ask angrily "why not strike right after you fucking k-killed my mate!"

"Well you see. I didn't plan to kill your precious mate, she turned up at my doorstep with a deal. She dies and I give your pack more time to prepare. She was brave but stupid."

I freeze, she gave her life away for the pack. She went to him. Oh Maia...

"Well what now?!" I snap, he smirks.

"None of you can beat me." He says obnoxiously. "None of your pack have magic. Especially light magic."

More of my pack came from the trees but were instantly pinned down, nobody is killed though.

"Why aren't you killing us?"

"What would be the fun in that?" He clicks his tongue "Why kill them now when I can make them watch their precious Alpha die a painful death."

My whole pack growls making the Dark One chuckle. He walks in circles around me, my eyes watch his every move.

"This is hilarious." He adds "You are all useless, you can't do anything. None of you can defeat me." Fire shoots upwards from his hands.

"But I can." A familiar voice echos from the trees, my ears snap up and I watch eagerly in the direction of the voice.

White light shines around a figure who stands brave and strong in the tree edge. It can't be...

Her scent fills me up making my wolf howl out in happiness and joy. This can't be happening.

"No..." The Dark One whispers fearfully, he steps back.

"Yes." The familiar voice says firmly stepping into the light, everyone around us gasps.

She stood there in all her beauty and glory, her whole body shone with a bright white light as she took a step forward towards the Dark one. There stood someone who we all thought was dead, my mate.

She lifts her hands and a blinding white light burst from her palms and hit the Dark one making him fly into a tree breaking the lock on me. She blasts the rogues holding me down making them shoot out of sight. Maia slowly turns her head to me.

"Austin." She breathes out.

Maia POV:

I stare into his gorgeous green eyes, I can't explain how much I've missed him or how much it killed me not to be in his reach.

His tongue traces my lower lip asking for entrance and I don't hesitate to give it to him instantly. His tongue meet mine and I moan softly.

It feel so good to be back in my mates arms, to have him kiss me and hold me like he will never let go.

He pulls away and rest his head against mine. Our breathing is hard as we try to regain it.

"How?" He asks staring at me, I let out a sigh and try to pull away but his arms only tighten "No. Mine."

His head dips into my neck and I feel him kiss my mark making my knees weak. "I won't let you go again Maia, I promise that."

Out of the corner of my eye I see the Dark one stand up, he puts his hand out and shoots a fire ball at my mate and I.

This angers me, I quickly step in front of Austin, although he still holds onto me, and block the fire. The Dark One stares at me in shock but he quickly recovers.

"I see you've learnt to control your powers." He says trying to sound happy. "May I ask, how are you still alive?"

"Well," I say stepping out of Austin's grasp only for him to grip my hip once more so I just carry on "I had some help."

Just on time Tyson steps out of the tree line and stands next to me.
