Alpha Blake novel Chapter 61

　　Harou kneels next to Blake. They hide behind a huge bush next to a few rocks piled together on top of a hill leading down to the old military barracks where Damian is hiding out, training his warriors. 

　　" Alarick, are you sure this is what you want to do? Maybe we can just walk in there and talk to him. He has to reason with us over this matter. You two have to stop fighting this senseless battle. He has to know the truth about what happened."

　　Blake closes his eyes, sighing deeply before turning his body towards Harou. 

　　"For the last time Harou, my name is no longer Alarick, it's Blake. And what makes you think he will care to listen to us? If all the things you said are true, then why would he listen to us now? It's been centuries since this battle started, do you really think he's going to suddenly decide to stop and listen to us?"  

　　He slowly turns his body and his eyes widen as he sees Selene from afar running past a building and into what seems an underground refuge. He figures it's probably the dungeons. But he cringes as he sees Tasha running close behind Selene. He knows there is a great chance that Tasha has allied with Selene to help free Hector. 

　　"Damn it, Selene. What the hell are you doing?" He looks towards the direction she runs into. Harou sighed, nodding his head. 

　　"We have to get her out quickly before anyone else sees her." He says in low voice looking at Harou, turning to the sides and making sure that they are still hidden and undetected by anyone around them.

　　"Wait, Selene went in there for a reason. Give her a minute. I trust she is not in any danger, I would sense it. Give her a chance to exit the building before we run in there to aid her.

　　"How would you know? She's my wife. I would know that myself don't you think?"

　　"Calm down. You will not make proper decisions when angered."

　　"Screw this! I'm going in there." Blake begins to stand, Harou pulls him back down quickly to his side. "Alarick, please. If you run in there, both of you can be badly hurt. Just give her a few minutes."

　　Though he hates to admit it, he knows the possibility of Harou's words being true. he leans back down slowly and waits impatiently hidden behind those boulders. 

　　Minutes pass, and she still has not emerged out of the building. He knows quite well she is capable of taking care of herself, but the longer she's in there, the less his patience runs low.

　　"Enough waiting. I'm going in there and I'm getting her out. I don't care anymore. I have to go. I have to get her out of there." He narrows his eyebrows and grunts loud with frustration.

　　"Alar-, I mean, Blake, we have to be precise about what we are going to do next. We have to try and get her out of there quietly, without being detected by them. You know quite well what he is capable of. Please, let's think for a second what we're-"

　　Blake gives him no time to finish. The sun has already set. The night is here, and he knows quite well that this only means one thing, the vampires are going to begin to exit their dorms, and he fears that if there are too many of them out, they will surely see Selene and Tasha.

　　 He stands as he sees a group of vampires walking out from one of the dorms, unaware they are being watched by Blake and Harou. 

　　"That's it, no more waiting. I have to get in there and get my wife out of there. If something happens to her, or someone so much dares to lay a hand on her, they will pay with their own lives. And honestly? I wouldn't be able to live with myself."

　　Harou knows there is no more stopping him, it doesn't matter how much he tries to hold him back or stall him, he knows there is not much more to do when it comes to him making up his mind. He gets up slowly, following behind Blake as they slowly make their way down. 

　　Feet steady, slowly making their way down the hill, hiding between the small bushes and trees along the way. He stops just before he is spotted by a few vampires guarding along the way in a nearby building. His fury ignites, to the faint smell of his wife and the sounds of her struggling with a few men she battles with inside.

　　Quickly, before he is able to think any further, he shifts to his wolf and attacks three vampires nearing them. Though unaware of their presence, and having no time to act to aid themselves against Xander's attack, a few more vampires spot them, sending the alert to Damian of intruders in their premises along the way as they scurry towards them and ready themselves to attack.

　　A siren is turned on, alerting all the vampires in Damian's territory to go into combat. Harou finds himself having no other choice but to fight in his human form, unable to shift because of the enchantment the goddess Selene had bestowed upon his lineage.

　　Vampire after vampire charges  Alexander, some attacking from behind, and others head-on. He quickens his pace, biting vampires on their torsos, ripping heads off their bodies, and making sure that Harou suffers no harm in between all the battles.
