Chapter 6:

Tye POV:

She stood tall, had piercing green eyes, now that I think of it our eyes almost matched. She was slim and had her hair braided, she looked like a true warrior, Rex licked her face, and she ran her fingers through our fur and I felt Rex instantly relax, her touch was soft and she smiled showing her pearly white teeth. Oh my goddess we are so screwed. She is perfect for us and in this moment I knew I would do anything for her. "Pythia! They are throwing poison smoke! We don't have an antidote for that." a voice rang out and Rex tensed and growled loudly, so her name is Pythia? The fucking dark witch queen?! I am mated to the dark witch queen?! She held her hand up and Rex stopped growling. The other woman stopped dead in her tracks looking me up and down. "Make and antidote in the woods quickly!" Pythia yelled back at her, she turned to me with a look I knew all too well. I was not about to like the words she spoke next. "I don't know who you are or why I feel a certain way but we can't just sit here and stare at each other. After this battle I will get to know the human side of you. You seem very special to me all of a sudden." Pythia said, smiling at me. She turned as if she was about to run off and Rex did the one thing I never thought he would do. He barked. He actually barked. I mentally face palmed myself. "I can't communicate with you in wolf form but I need to go." Pythia said giggling. It was the best sound I had ever heard.

That annoying lady came back but yelled out something that caught my attention "Pythia, Alley is calling for you. It's Jack. He has been hit with the poison smoke!" Jack was hit? Poison smoke? Is Alley okay? I need to check on Alley! Pythia turned her eyes towards me and I could see the rage that was swarming within her. "Look I really need to go and help Alley, I am sure I will find you again soon okay? Stay safe." Pythia said softly before she took off running. Rex whimpered as she left and the further she got the more it hurt. I needed to find Alley or Stephen and keep people off of Pythias trail and I fully intend on protecting my mate. "Go dumbass! Follow her and keep her safe!" I roared through the link, Rex didn't even reply back to me before he bolted forward following her sweet scent. The pain in our back flank was starting to set in but we could not let that slow us down. Finally Pythia was in my line of sight and just like I thought she was being chased.

That fueled Rex more, he pumped his legs faster ripping through anything that stood in our way, it angered Rex that for a brief moment it seemed like Pythia was the main target probably because they knew that she would be aiding in this situation. I could finally see Alley as well and she was on her knees holding Jack close to her. We needed to catch up quickly so we could help keep these damn things away from them while they did what they needed to do.....

Pythia POV:

I ran as fast as my feet would take me, I could feel that giant wolf running behind me, I peaked over my shoulder and saw he was killing anything that chased me. I mentally smiled to myself. "Where is Pythia?!" Alley screamed out, I could hear the panic in her voice. "I'm here!" I replied running up to them before I dropped to my knees. "What is wrong with him? Sammie said something was thrown at them but hit him." Alley said looking down at Jack, he was starting to pale and I needed to act quickly. "Yes, I am aware, we made an antidote but we need the blood of an alpha to complete it." I said, grabbing Jack by the face. "Fine take mine, hell I'll cut my own hand tell me what to do." Alley replied, snatching Jacks head back to her. She is very protective and I know she did not mean it offensively. "Let's go, take my hand." I said, extending my hand towards her, she didn't waste any time grabbing it, as soon as our hands connected I took us just outside of the fighting in the woods. "Quickly give me your hand." I said before grabbing the bowl Lillith handed to me. Alley stuck her hand out and I grabbed the knife that was secured in my boot. I sliced an even line across her palm and turned it over and squeezed a little to get it to flow faster.

When there was enough in there I handed the bowl back to Lillith who took the herbs and started mixing it all together. We didn't need much to make a large batch thank goddess, "Are you almost done? What are you making?" Alley asked, looking between us. "They are throwing a smoke poison, once it is inhaled it slowly shuts the body down. We are making the same thing but when it is inhaled the alpha blood counteracts with it and cancels the poison out." I replied watching her face relax a little. Lillith stuffed it into a bag and handed it to me, I set the bag next to Jacks head "Lite this on fire and blow the smoke in his face." I told her, she moved quickly and I watched as his breathing went from shallow to deep and I felt myself relax. "He will be fine, he needs to be somewhere safe where he can rest." I told her. "Will you need more blood? Or was that enough?" Alley asked. "This should be enough for now, if we need more I will come find you now go." I told her before I grabbed a few more bags and teleported back to the war field. I scanned my eyes across the field to see where all I could see smoke coming from. Those were my points to hit since it is all poison. One by one I popped in next to dark witches throwing bags. Some I managed to catch, some I didn't get to in time and had to use my own. It won't be long before Bosch makes his grand appearance and I honestly hope like hell between us we can at least get the number down by a lot.
