Enchanted

CHAPTER 43

Belle's POV :

"Get my left !", I shouted to Ryan, who was fighting off two wolves on his own. Surprisingly, he recovered quite quickly from the attack earlier and was back to his healthy self.

"Got it!"

The wolf fell a few feet away from us, howling loudly in pain. I focused on the wolf growling before me. Feeling the familiar burning in my palms, I thrust my hands outwards, the pressurized air smacked the wolf right in his face, making him fly backwards.

"Right at ya !" , Riley laughed, elated in witnessing me throwing off wolves.

"Shouldn't you tell us about your mom ?"

I raised an eyebrow at Riley who gave me a sheepish smile, melting me away .

We were currently at the centre of the pack land. Most of the people were evacuated and guided to the safe house. When we started to ask Riley about his parents, he denied sharing any information with us. Instead, he opted to stay with me and Ryan even when it was not safe for him.

"I trust you guys", was all he said.

For someone who believes in stranger danger, he sure trusts us a lot...

"I'll meet with my mother later on. You guys are looking so cool fighting off the bad guys !" Riley said excitedly, his positivity rubbing off on me. I shook my head, smiling at his explanation.

I joined him on the huge rock, resting my hands which were bleeding profusely, but I wiped the blood on my shorts, not wanting to worry Ryan or Riley. My white hoodie was all dirtied with dust, soot and blood, the white was barely noticeable. I need to buy a new hoodie to Eros as a replacement to this one.

Eros...

I hadn't thought about him since the moment I started fighting. Now that we're away from each other, I realized how much I was used to him, how he surrounded me, how he filled me up. It feels empty without him now, lonely.

"Bella, on your right !", Riley pointed at a wolf running towards us, snarling loudly. I quickly thrust out my hands, the familiar pressure relieving around me and knocking the wolf off his legs. He fell down unconscious, along with dozen others. Ryan was busy tearing off wolves, his rage getting the best of him, but it was good in this case. He was independently handling two wolves, not looking the least bit troubled. While here I was, huffing loudly from the excess use of my powers, which I still don't know how I got them.

I could feel myself getting weak and dizzy but I dare not tell them, or else they would send me off to the safe house. And trust me, Ryan has been waiting for that moment for a while now.

After gathering at the centre plaza, there were other wolves who were already fighting off some rogues. When me and Ryan joined them, it became easy to take them on. All that was left was to find their leader who planned everything.

Belle, are you alright ?

I glanced towards Ryan to see him staring at me with his blue eyes. His wolf had blue eyes while his were purple, a very unique yet beautiful eye combination.

Yes, Draxy boy, I'm fine.

As soon as I said that, a dizzy spell came over me and I fell down, my knees crashing into the stones and rubble .

"Bella ! "

Riley looked over me in concern while Ryan shifted at the side and came over to us.

"You were saying ?", he asked arching one eyebrow.

"No, I'm fine. Its just I haven't eaten in a long time."

It was partly true. We were under attacked for hours now. There was no way to tell the time because the sky was dark with clouds and the air was dusty, making the surroundings hard to see. It was my luck that Ryan was with me, his werewolf eyesight helped him see much better.
