Finding Her True Alpha
Chapter 91: Chaos on the Ground

Alpha Mason

We were all standing around watching the family of witches start the protection spell. But before they could even start the spell, smoke and ash filled the clearing. I lost track of Ashlyn and I panicked. I looked over at Derek, and he was thinking the same thing I was.

“We need to find Ashlyn.” I screamed out to him.

When some of the smoke cleared, wolves and vampires surrounded us. Shadows of dragons were flying above us.

Derek immediately shifted to Magnus, and his massive gold dragon took to the sky. I shifted and Thor started taking down the other wolves and vampires.

I noticed Brandon was beside Sage and he was protecting her and her family. Nathan was zapping anything that came close to them and I’m not sure what their mother was doing. I could see her l!ps moving, but I couldn’t hear what she was saying over all this chaos.

More smoke cleared and I could now see that they severely outnumbered us. Our camp was on the other side of the stream and we were surrounded.

While Thor was ripping the enemy apart with intense new strength. I mindlinked more of my warriors. I knew one of them had to be with lan or one of his men. We need all of them if we are going to get out of this alive.

Matt shifted into his massive green dragon, but he stayed on the ground to help us with his dragon’s breath.

We fought off the enemy closest to our camp, and he blew out his breath in the other direction.

I thought we were making some headway until a vampire jumped on my back, sinking his teeth deep into my shoulder. I tried to shake him, but he dug his nails into my sides.

Thor let out an agonizing how l. The fvcker must have coated their nails with the toxin. Before we could react. The vampire was ripped off of us. I watched as the vampire had his head ripped off by a big black wolf. I knew it had to be lan. I could see Liam and the others.

They must have just been getting back from their patrol.

The pain forced Thor to shift back. My body felt like it was on fire. Some of my warriors surrounded me while l examined the gashing down either side of my ribs. Liam was beside me, shifted back.

“Mason, what the f**k happened?” He rushed out.

“They were about to perform the protection spell when the clearing was filled with smoke and ash. There were dragons above us, and Derek shifted and flew off. I don’t know where Ashlyn went.” I gasped out. That toxin hurts like a motherfvcker, and I can’t believe Ashlyn has gone through this kind of pain.

“Where is Derek?” Liam asked me.

“Up.” I told him, pointing to the sky.

“Where’s Ashlyn?” He rushed out, and I shrugged.

“I don’t know. I lost track of her in all this chaos. I’m just praying that Derek found her.” I told him.

Liam helped me to stand. My whole body was on fire from the toxin and the wounds weren’t closing. A dragon falling out of the sky caused the ground to shake and dust to spread through the clearing. When the dust cleared, I noticed the enemy was retreating.

It wasn’t until the second and third dragons fell to the ground did I really panic. Where the hell were Derek and Ashlyn? What was left of our warriors gathered around Liam and I. Most of them looked like they were in terrible shape. The vampires definitely did a number on them.

Brandon walked through the crowd, holding on to Sage. He had scratches all over his body. He immediately took control of the warriors and had everyone making their way back to the camp. I think the only person not hurt was Matt; he walked over to me and I could tell that he was worried.

“Where’s Derek?” I hissed out. The pain was becoming almost unbearable.

“I don’t know,” he told me. From behind him, I noticed a massive gold dragon falling through the smoke.

“Matt!” l yelled out, pointing behind me. Matt took off running towards the falling dragon. It was Derek, and he was falling fast. Even though I was in unbearable pain, I tried to run towards my fallen mate. I couldn’t feel if he was still alive. We haven’t marked each other.

Matt shifted mid stride and flew with great speed to catch his falling prince. Matt slowed Derek down, but they both hit the ground with enough force to cause a dust storm around them. It also caused the ground to rumble as I made my way over to where they landed.

By the time I made it over to them, Derek had shifted back. The left side of his body was badly burned. Matt was holding him, trying to get him to walk up. I could see his chest rising and falling, but his breaths were shallow. He needed medical attention, or he was going to die.

Nathan came up beside me with Liam. I looked at Nathan and I knew he needed to open a portal to the dragon kingdom. That was the only place that could give Derek a fighting chance of surviving the burns.

“Matt, think of the Dragon Hospital. Nathan, open a portal. We need to get Derek out of here.” I yelled out my commands as I knelt down beside Derek.

“Come on, Derek, wake up. You can’t leave Ashlyn.” I spoke to him. He needed to wake up. I needed him to be okay. Our relationship was complicated, but I still cared about the Dragon Prince. He’s part of my family. We are having a child with Ashlyn. I needed him to survive.

Nathan opened up a portal and Matt lifted Derek off the ground and walked through the portal.

“Nathan, you come with us. Liam, go help Brandon and the others get this mess cleaned up. As soon as I can, I will be back.” I told him and he nodded. I walked through the portal, with Nathan following me. We were indeed in a hospital waiting room. I was met with some gasps as I forgot l was na*ked. Matt rushed over to us and wrapped an arm around my shoulders to help me.

“They have rushed Derek back already. Let’s get you looked at, Alpha Prince.” Matt said, leading me through the doors out of the waiting room. He led me into a room and a doctor and nurse were waiting for us. Nathan followed behind us and they both helped me to lie down on the bed.

Now that I knew Derek was in the place for treatment, my adrenaline was running out. And I still didn’t know where Ashlyn was. I knew she was alive, but where the hell was she? l couldn’t focus on anything but the pain that I was in. The toxin was running through my system and it was clouding my vision and making it hard to even stay awake.

The doctor and the nurse cleaned my wounds, causing me to scream out. Every touch of the wound was like having someone digging into my insides and ripping them out.

“Puffer toxin.” I gasped out. I heard the doctor curse before he yelled out orders. Matt rushed out of the room and Nathan took his place beside my bed.

“Matt, went to get the antitoxin,” Nathan told me and I nodded. The nurse was trying to get an IV into my hand and the doctor was trying to get the bleeding to stop. He handed Nathan a gauze and told him to apply it to the wound on the side closest to him. They both pushed down and I let out a scream. This had to be the worst pain I ever experienced. And I wish the fvcker was still alive so that I could kill him myself.

As soon as the IV was in, the doctor and the nurse switched out. The doctor pushed a needle in and emptied what I was assuming was pain killers into the IV.

“Alpha Prince, we have to get these wounds cleaned out before we can give you the antitoxin. The wounds can’t close with all this debris coating the wounds.” The doctor told me, and I nodded, gripping the bedrail. I knew this was going to hurt.

Both Nathan and the doctor removed the gauze, and the doctor washed the areas with a disinfectant and I’m pretty sure I passed out from the pain.

I woke up in an unfamiliar room and I was no longer na*ked. I was wearing a hospital gown and there was a blanket covering me. Nathan and Matt were also sitting on a couch on the other side of the room. I gr0aned out when I tried to move and both of them moved to the sides of my bed.

“Where’s Derek?” I grumbled out. And I noticed they shared a look, and my stomach was in knots waiting for them to answer me.

“Derek is alive, but he is in serious condition,” Matt told me.

“Have you heard from the camp? Where’s Ashlyn?” I rushed out, fear churning my stomach into knots, not knowing what was happening to my mates. Derek could die, and I didn’t know where Ashlyn was.

“Liam and Brandon are getting everything organized, but they still haven’t located Ashlyn. We aren’t sure what happened, we are just going to pray that Derek wakes up soon to tell us what happened.” Nathan informed me. Anguish replaced my feeling of fear, concerned about my mates and our unborn son.

“I want to see Derek” I told them. Matt moved back and opened the curtain that hung behind him. He pulled it back to reveal Derek. He was lying on his back with a breathing tube in. He had bandages covering the left side of his body where he was burned.

I let out a gr0an as sat up.

“Ashlyn is still alive. I need you both to find her.”
