Supernatural Race Read online

  I jump straight into the fight, blurs flash around me and I know it’s vampires that are attacking us.

  “Nat be careful!” Reece shouts from across the field, I bark and join in with my brothers.

  We keep each other's backs protected as the vampires advance. I bark a warning and Jake lunges at the vampire, it hisses at him before retreating slightly.

  I jump at one who wields a knife, his speed makes him hard to keep up to but I focus my mind and hold my own as we dance the battle fight.

  Biting down hard on the vampire's arm, I pull quickly up and the vampire screams out while dropping the knife.

  His hiss follows but I don’t let him get his fangs near me as I grab his throat in my mouth and shake, severing his spinal cord and effectively leaving him paralysed.

  Jakes pained howl makes my head whip around, him and Ivan are cornered and about to be vampire food.

  I bark and sprint towards them, just before I get there a blur of movement whips past me and to the aid of my brothers.

  I huff at Reece as he takes out the Vampires, his eyes glow so redly that I cannot see the black in them. Black spider-like veins surround his eyes and his fangs are longer than I have ever seen.

  “Protect your brothers, I’ll take care of most of them. I’ve got my full powers” The hiss that comes from Reece makes me shiver as I nod my head to say I understand.

  I howl a battle cry before jumping in to give my brothers time to recover from the battering we are facing.

  A snarl rips from my throat as five vampires gang up, my upper lip curls in disgust as the blood dripping from their fangs.

  I tilt my head and we all lunge, meeting in the middle I bite down hard on one of the vampire's arm.

  He hisses and I’m thrown from him, I let out a yelp as I hit a tree. I feel blood drip from my side and I quickly look to see the amount of damage.

  A roar brings me back to the fight and I see Reece staring at me, I no longer recognize the person he is as he blurs around the field.

  I can hear screams of pain and I try to keep up with the blurs.

  Jakes howl makes me tilt my head to the right, I nearly scream but remember I’m in wolf form. I growl instead and sprint towards him, Ivan does the same and we jump as one and onto the vampire who has Jake pinned down.

  Together Ivan and I manage to get the vampire off Jake, I glance at him to see a bite mark and my heart kicks into overdrive.

  Ivan goes in for the kill as I hold the vampire down, I feel more than see Reece behind me and I know he is keeping the vampires away.

  I huff and Ivan nods before running to the house. Glancing around I see the destruction, bodies lay all over and the glass is red with blood.

  “He should be okay, I just need to get the venom out of his system” Reece’s voice brings me back to see him kneeling beside Jake, his still form makes me shiver and I nod before turning away and keeping guard.

  Ivan’s paws on the ground alert me to his arrival and I huff before taking the clothes out of his mouth.

  I run to the nearest tree and quickly make the shift happen, a groan escaping my lips as my wound pulls. I shiver as I pull the clothes on, my instincts tell me to hurry up and get to my brother.

  I rush away from the tree and towards my pack, Jakes still form haunts my mind as I wait for something to happen.

  “Is he going to be okay?” I ask Reece, His eyes hold mine and I look away before tears can spill.

  “I’m not sure, his body isn’t responding to me. I can only do so much” The pain in his voice shakes me to my core.

  “Can I help?” I ask, Ivan’s arm snakes around my waist and I put my arm on his shoulder.

  “Actually yes, maybe he might react better to you however you would have to suck the venom out of his system” Reece mutters as if talking to himself more than anyone else.

  “Do I need to shift?” I ask, getting ready to shift.

  “I don’t think so, just be ready for pain. It will last for a second as I will be ready to help you” His eyebrows furrowed.

  I nod before kneeling at Jakes side, I hold my breath for a second and take in a deep breath. Jakes heart beats slowly and I know if we don’t get the venom out now he will die.

  I shiver and put my mouth on his wound, closing my eyes I begin to suck. The tangy iron taste fills my throat and I struggle to swallow the blood, I suck faster and force myself to choke the blood down. I stop only when I taste different blood, I know that the venom has gone.

  I pull away quickly, my heart beats faster and I wait for my brother's heart to jump start. A smile lights up my face as Jakes eyes open, he whimpers as Ivan picks him up and takes him inside.

  “Let’s get the venom out,” Reece says just as I yelp, I can feel the venom work around my body. My heart pumping it around me, making my veins fills with the fire.

  I tilt my head and Reece puts his hand on my shoulder, his eyes hold mine as his fangs poke out from his lip. I nod and close my eyes, I feel him kiss my skin before his fangs slide over my neck.

  I gasp at the sharp pain but stay still as Reece works to get the venom out. I sigh as he pulls me closer, my mate bond flares up and I feel myself passing out.

  “Reece, you’ve done it!” Ivan’s yell brings me back to the real world just as Reece lets go of me.

  “Crap, Nat are you okay?” He says as his arm holds me up.

  “I’m fine” I mutter before Reece picks me up and we head to the pack house.

  Chapter Thirteen

  I groan as Reece places me gently onto the sofa, I curl up and wait for my healing to kick in. Reece watches me with worry written all over his face. I smile at him before looking around for Jake, Ivan nods to me and we all wait for Jake.

  My eyes start to close, the blood loss causing me to become more tired than I have been for a while.

  “You need to stay awake, I took too much and I can hear your heart struggling. I’m really sorry, it’s just your blood is like an addiction” Reece mutters before sliding onto the sofa and lifting my legs up to make me lay down.

  “It’s to do with the mating bond, in the werewolf world to complete the bond you both need to bite each other and that makes werewolves addicted to each other's blood. I’ve done my research and as you are mates and you are a vampire it makes her blood even more enticing to you” Ivan says, my mouth pops open as I stare at my brother.

  “I didn’t know you knew stuff like this” I reply, a laugh bubbles from me and he raises his eyebrow at me.

  Footsteps from the bedrooms take my attention as we all turn and wait for Jake to come into the room.

  I smile and sit up as he opens the door, I jump up and ignore the dizziness as I rush to him. He laughs as I hug him tightly, Ivan joins the hug and we all laugh at each other.

  “I have an idea! If we cannot go out yet let’s just have a fun day, after what we have been through we need to just relax and be together” I say as I pull away from Jake.

  “I’m in” Ivan grins and I roll my eyes as he rushes to get some films.

  “I’ve got the food!” Reece laughs and uses his speed to get food for us.

  “Come on, let’s get the sofa before they come back” I grin and help Jake to the sofa.

  “No fair!” Ivan whines as he carries an arm full of films.

  “You snooze you lose!” I reply with a laugh.

  He puts in a film and we all cuddle up, Reece hands me the popcorn and we play the film.

  ⤱⤱⤱⤱

  I yawn as the fourth film’s credits roll down, looking outside I see a shadow. A growl works it’s way up my throat but I keep quiet as I get up.

  Ivan sees my attention on the window and he stands as well, together we work our way to the door.

  I nod at him and Reece blurs to my side, I sigh and reach for the handle. I feel my wolf just under the surface, ready to shift at a seconds notice.

  Holding my breath I pull the handle down and slowly open the door, scenting the air my lip curls as th
e sickly sweet scent of vampire assaults my nose.

  Reece speeds past me and I know he is doing a lap of our grounds, I growl before jumping out and wait for something; anything to happen.

  “NAT!” Reece’s yell has me running, my wolf pushes the shift and I’m too weak to fight it as I run my ears travel higher to the top of my head and my face turns into my muzzle, my fur bursts from my skin and I leap to avoid hurting myself as my bones reshape.

  I land just as the shift completes itself, I see Reece’s eyes glowing red before I see his body. The tension in his body makes me slow down.

  “There is a package and it’s addressed to you,” He says, I nod and plod towards the box.

  My heart races as Reece opens the box for me, my eyes widen and a howl rips of my throat. The promise of blood running through the howl.

  Reece gasps and his hand lightly brushes my fur.

  The scent of a pack mate drifts to my nose and a snarl rumbles through me. I hear my brothers running towards us and I move away from the box. I see Jakes anger just before the shift takes hold of him, I push Reece out of the way and wait for my brother to shift.

  Jakes gold eyes hold anger, so much that I know someone will pay. Ivan whimpers, Jakes anger surges through the pack bond which causes Ivan to shift too.

  We all stand around the box, Reece keeps a watch and I notice a bloodied piece of paper,

  I gently put my paw in and move my pack mates tail. The grey fur is covered in blood and the end of it looks to have been cut with a blunt knife.

  I curl my claws around the paper and pull it free. Reece takes it from me and reads it out loud.

  Nat.

  Your time is up as is your pack mates, this is just a reminder that the vampires will rule the world and take out every werewolf.

  It would be so much better if you do fight so please get ready. The elders like it when you fight.

  See you soon

  Vx

  I growl as Jake howls, Ivan stands quietly next to me. The effects of Jakes anger still running through us all.

  Trepidation runs through my veins and I shake myself, looking towards the woods I nudge Ivan.

  He nods and we set off for a run, I look back to see Reece on his knees staring at the box. A whine escapes me and his head pops up to look at me, I see tears running down his face.

  He may not have known my pack mate but this is meant to be his race that is attacking us.

  He waves me off and my head lowers as I turn back to see Ivan waiting for me, Jake jumps over me and I huff at him before racing after him.

  The pain in the pack bond playing in my mind, I used to hate this pack. I used to want to leave but now I would give my life to have my pack and family around me.

  Jake barks and I yip to him, the anger in his eyes lessens slightly as we run around and just be wolves for a while

  Chapter Fourteen

  “Nat wake up, I’ve found a lead” Reece’s voice drifts through my sleepy mind.

  I quickly open my eyes and see I’m in my wolf form and laying on the ground in the wood by my house.

  “Here” Reece hands some clothes for me and I take them before running to the nearest tree and shifting.

  Pulling on the clothes, last night's memories come crashing back. I sigh before walking towards Reece.

  “Come back to the house with me,” He says, I nod and start to walk.

  A blur rushes towards me and I roll my eyes at Reece, my eyes widen as I see the blur coming straight for me and I yell as Reece picks me up.

  The world blurs past me as the speed of a vampire takes me home, I laugh as we get to the house and Reece lets me down.

  “That was awesome,” I say, Reece shrugs before opening the door for me.

  “I try” His reply only just meets my ears.

  “Nat, have fun sleeping outside?” Ivan laughs, I look to Jake who seems more emotionless today.

  “I can’t remember even laying down never mind sleeping” I reply with a smile on my face.

  “I found out where the lab is that made the vampires if we can get in we could find out why they were made,” Jake says, I can still feel anger in his veins but I ignore it.

  “I’ll get the car” I mutter.

  Jake nods to me and I turn to go and get the car, Reece’s arm stops me and I tilt my head at him but he grabs my hand and walks with me.

  Once we are out of my brothers hearing I roll my eyes at him and ask him why he tried to stop me.

  “You need to know that lab will have things you have never seen and it will not be pretty, my memories are coming back and I remember the lab. Just know I will try my best to protect you” He replies and my stomach turns over.

  “We will be fine, we just need to get things rolling. If we stay here I have no doubt the next attack will cost a life and I’m not willing to let that happen” I growl, my wolf waiting for me to release her but I force her away from the surface.

  “I just hope this will be over, I like having a mate but I feel strange that you are in danger” Reece’s voice takes on a strange tone and I stop to stare at him.

  “That will be the mate bond again but I didn’t think you would get it” I mutter, shaking myself I pull Reece close and plant my lips onto his. He deepens the kiss and I find the mate bond growing stronger between us.

  I pull away as a different urge takes hold of me, Reece’s eyes widen and he laughs.

  “Maybe hold for that until we are older” I giggle as I hug him once more before pulling away from him and towards the cars.

  “Agreed” He replies and he grabs hold of my hand again, a strange tingling runs up my arm but I shake it off.

  I run to the keyboard and grab the keys for the car I like driving the most. Reece laughs when he sees the pink car at the end.

  “I’m guessing that one is yours?” He says while shaking his head.

  I just nod and jump in the driver's seat, Reece blurs to the passenger seat and I start up the car.

  “Your brothers are going to love driving in this” Reece’s laugh makes me smile as I pull the car out of the garage.

  Putting up in front of the house I scream with laughter at the looks on my brother's faces. Horror is written all over Jakes' face while Ivan just stares blankly at me.

  “Come on, let’s go for a ride!” I yell, Jake shakes his head and get in while Ivan backs away from the car.

  “Get in, the colour isn’t going to kill you” I shout to him before Jakes grabs him and pulls him inside the car.

  “I hate this car, I don’t even know why mum bought it for you as you aren’t old enough to drive” Ivan mutters,

  “So, I need to drive as we are not going to get anywhere if I don’t” I reply, The fact that I’m too young pulling at my mind. What if we get caught by the police?

  I pull the car down our drive, my mind wandering and my wolf lingering under the surface.

  “We will be fine,” Reece says before grabbing my hand.

  I nod and shift gears, making the car speed up. The road is clear and I check the back mirror to make sure no police are behind us.

  I grin as I shift again, the speed of the car now illegal as I put my foot down.

  “We should be there in about five minutes,” Jakes says, I nod and slow down.

  I turn left and gasp in horror, a seven-foot fence stands in between us and the building.

  “How are we going to get over that?” I ask, turning the engine off.

  “Own it, let’s just walk up to the gate and knock?” Ivan suggests.

  “That's a good way to get us all killed, I have an idea I think” I mutter, thinking about how far Reece can jump.

  We all jump out of the car and I lock it, I don’t want anyone stealing our ride home. We don’t know what we are going to find in this place and we might need a quick escape.

  “Already on it,” Reece says as if he heard my thoughts about jumping.

  He nods to me and I tilt my head as he grabs my arm, Jake growls as Iva
n stands to watch.

  I gasp as I’m thrown into the air, I fly over the wall just missing it. A slight buzzing sound meets my ears and I figure out the fence is electrified.

  “Be careful, the fence is electrified!” I shout just as I land on the other side, I roll to make sure I don’t hurt myself.

  Chapter Fifteen

  Once we are all over the fence I signal to Jake to take the lead, he nods and shifts. His black fur blending in the surroundings.

  I follow closely and Reece takes the back to make sure we don’t get caught. The look of shock on Ivan’s face makes me think twice about bringing him on these missions.

  “There!” I point to a slightly open door, Jake rushes to it and checks its clear before we all go through it.

  Screams echo through the building and my lunch nearly comes up, just the thought of people being hurt in here makes me want to shift and run.

  Reece catches my eye and I see a tear run down his face, a sad smile on his face.

  A baby's cry stops me in my tracks, the wolf within telling me to save it. I close my eyes and shake myself before running to the door and breaking the lock. The door swings open to reveal a female's body on a metal table and a baby in a box at the other side of the room.

  I lift my nose and choke at the scent coming from the female, it’s my sister's scent.
