Alpha Blake novel Chapter 40

　　Third Person POV 

　　Selene views through the scope of her rifle. Far away, Damian is seen practicing his maneuvers for battle inside a massive room. 

　　The sun has begun to set, and every vampire that has joined Damian has begun to be ready for practice. Dressing in comfortable clothes and gathering weapons. 

　　She scoffs her nose in disgust as she sees him practicing, his idea of practice disgusts her, as he breaks the necks of many opponents. Of course, being vampires, she knows they will awaken in a few hours. 

　　Yet. . . .the idea of breaking someone's neck just for fun is a disgusting sight to her.

　　"How long are going to have to have to wait here until we can attack Selene? We need to act now! Before Blake begins to make his way here and we have no other choice but to invade them."

　　"Shut up James! We can't just barge in there! They'll be expecting us! Damian is smarter than you think. Don't underestimate him." She grinds her teeth, speaking in a low voice. The waiting period is eating at her anxiously. 

　　Caleb stands, stretching his body, hands high above his head.

　　"Well, I gotta piss! So while we wait, I'll be behind those bushes for a few minutes. I'll be back."

　　He makes his way behind the bush, disappearing before their eyes. 

　　James and Selene exchange a glance as they both turn back to view behind their scopes.

　　A few too long minutes pass before James and Selene become worried. 

　　"Hey, Caleb! Everything alright bud?" James stands and makes his way towards the direction Caleb had walked. A moment passes before Selene realizes something is not right.

　　She turns and suddenly is met with the back of a gun hitting her head harshly.

　　Everything goes dark.

　　******

　　Selene wakes with a throbbing headache. Her vision is blurred by the impact she received earlier to her head and tries to move her hands to ease the tension on her temples. Realization hits her. She has been tied to a bed.

　　Her hands over her head, cuffed very tightly with chains. She can feel the burn from the silver rims around her wrists.

　　Frantically, she stirs around. Standing by the door, an old familiar face greets her with enthus.

　　"Well, it's about damn time you woke up. I was beginning to wonder if I hit you too hard? Guess I wasn't rough enough!"

　　"You? Where is Ty? Where's my brother you fucking bitch!? What have you done with him? I swear when I get my damn hands on you-" 

　　"Oh shut up, will you? Your stupid brother is dead. He's been long gone, sweetheart!" She raises an eyebrow, realizing Selene has no idea of the sudden attack Blake and his men did a few days back.

　　Selene's eyes widen, a massive lump builds in her throat as she falls for Jazmin's treacherous lie.

　　"No!" She shakes her head as she leans to one side. Jazmin chuckles, her cold heart refuses to show any mercy. 

　　"Oh yes, dear! And I enjoyed every moment of making him suffer! You should have seen him? Better yet, you should have heard him! The way he cowardly begged for his life!.... .almost made me feel sorry for the guy! Nonetheless, my buddy Gavin, Damian's top snipe by the way! Made sure to savor every second along my side as we tortured him." She walks slowly towards Selene. An evil glare in her eyes, evident how much she has come to hate Selene. 

　　"You bitch! I'm gonna kill you for this! You hear me?" Selene manages to kick Jazmin, tossing her to the ground.

　　She stands abruptly launching herself over Selene and begins to throw punches at her. Selene squirms under her, making Jazmin miss a few punches, but is still able to land a few on her.

　　Selene's mouth bleeds a bit, and before Jazmin can punch her jaw again Damian pulls her off. 

　　Selene's eyes widen, seeing Damian's eyes red in anger. His fangs were exposed and veins were visible around his eyes.

　　He grips Jazmin by her throat as he presses her against the wall, her feet dangling above the ground. He grunts loud in anger looking into Jazmin's eyes.

　　"Don't fucking touch her! She's mine, got it? Touch her again and I'll rip your fucking head off. Am I clear?" He comes close to her face, sneering angrily as he tightens his grip.

　　Jazmin's eyes roll back as she gasps to find air. She nods in agreement as she begins to panic. 

　　Letting go of her, she falls to the ground. Gripping her neck, she heaves and coughs as she tries to catch air.

　　He turns to Selene, smiling at her as his eyes return to normal.
