Chapter 0445


    I''m d when Eli says he’s heading to the battle and for me to join him after getting the


    evacuations set. | can’t shift being pregnant. I''ll have to run in human form to get to the battlefield. Eli would know something was


    wrong if he saw me.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    It takes me longer to get to the battle than it would if Maia was running. We''re much faster on four


    paws than two feet. As we get closer to the battle, | smell them. I’m counting them in my head when Eli reaches out to me. | open


    the mind link and let them know I’m nearly there, and how


    many hunters there are.


    When they decide to spread out, | know | won''t be fighting beside Eli. | have to be with my sisters. That’s the only way I can


    make sure we win today.


    Before | arrive, | hear Kai’s howl for the battle to begin and immediately all hell breaks loose. Almost instantly, | feel tethers from


    our pack breaking.


    “Maia, we have to hurry. We can’t lose our pack.”


    Maia’s pain at the loss of our pack members is as strong as mine, especially since Noah is one of the first to die. Instantly, we


    feel Sirona’s pain at the loss of her mate.


    When we finally arrive on the scene, | realize that Eli''s fear was justified. It''s not that we’re outnumbered that is giving the hunters


    the advantage, it’s the silver. | slow my run as | look at the dead around me. | can see the silver leaking out of their bodies from


    the bullet wounds and | know we''re in trouble.


    I rush to my sisters, breaking their connection and grabbing one of their hands in each of mine. I’m the focal point of our strength,


    | need to be in the center, pulling from both of them. They have been giving Rik’s pack as much protection as they can since they


    were at the front of the battle with no cover.


    As soon as | join, we throw out our joined aura. We obliterate hundreds of hunters at a time, but they continue toe. Their


    bullets are flying faster than we can kill them, and every time one of our wolves dies, we feel it.


    I''m not used to Angel''s aura, having only felt it once before. It takes me a few precious minutes to tap into her strength and feel


    her aura. | have to separate her blue strength from the yellow of her healing. Having worked with Ailduin, | pull on her healing


    power too. I’m not sure that it can do anything, but I’m keeping hold of it, just in case.


    | pull our auras together, creating the purple color that | used at the tournament. This time when | push ourbined auras, we


    take out even more hunters. As we focus our attention on the


    +15 BONOS


    hunters, the protection that Angel and Cara were giving to Cara’s pack lessens and she begins to feel her pack tethers breaking.


    Angel already has tears running down her face for her lost pack


    members.


    | don’t have time for tears. | have to save our mates, save our packs and save my child.


    | throw out anotherbined aura taking out hundreds more hunters. There are so many of them that it feels like we’re barely


    making a dent. We''ve taken out nearly a thousand and it feels like the wolves have taken out nearly as many, but it also looks


    like we''ve lost close to half of our warriors. They are either dead or dying on the ground around us, the sounds of their pain


    agony to


    our ears.


    I''m not paying attention to the surroundings as | start to pull on Cara and Angel’s power again. But it''s at that moment, that a


    hunter takes aim at Cara. As the bullet is about to hit her, Kai jumps in front of her and takes the bullet meant for her.
