Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 534

Chapter 534

Damien’s POV

I was on the ground, with Richard’s teeth sinking into my neck. Hot blood pushed from my wounds, curling down through my fur and dripping onto the dirt beneath me.

This could so easily be the end.

My body was tired. If I just closed my eyes, none of this would matter anymore.

As the blood drained from me, my problems seemed so very far away. What was I fighting, so hard for again? It was difficult to remember…

The darkness was closing in.

Then, like a crack of lightning in a dark stormy night, I heard my mate’s plea inside of my head,

Keep fighting. Please, Damien!

Yes. I was fighting for her. For our children. Our pack. Our home,

Our future.

Weak as I was, I couldn’t give up, couldn’t surrender and let this man win. Richard wanted to take everything from us, and I was all that stood in the way, stopping that from happening

Gathering what was length of my strength, I swiveled around beneath him. His teeth were at my neck, pinning my head, keeping me from using my own canines. But I still had my claws, and as we were, Richard had left his entire vulnerable belly exposed.

Brandishing my claws, I tore at him from shoulder to pelvis, cutting in as deeply as I could,

With a yelp and a howl, he released my neck and stumbled backwards. He sunk down low, feeling, weaker now than even I must have. This turnaround renewed my strength and I forced myself up to my feet,

Already, I could feel the torn skin at my neck healing. The bleeding had already stopped,

Richard, it seemed, did not possess this same ability. His blood continued to ooze down. While I grew stronger, he remained weak. Yes. I was finally turning the tide.

My confidence soared. This victory was soon to be mine.

Claire’s POV

In the span of a few short minutes, our side of the battlefield went from riding high to feeling lower than the dirt. The tables turned quickly, and now Richard was on the losing side.

If he were to lose… that would be the end of all of our dreams.

He had been so confident, so sure, and we had all believed in him.

Now he was proving to be as weak as the rest. A liar. A fool.

I was tired of allowing others to control my destiny. Richard, Benedict, and Damien might have decided on the terms of the challenge, but the rest of us sure hadn’t.

I glanced to my right and to my left.

“We must hold,” Ruth said, but there was pain in her eyes. She wasn’t thrilled about watching the love of her life die, even if she was the one who should have believed in him the most. If she thought he was done for, we truly had no chance.

I wasn’t going down like this. Several rogues around me looked as anxious as I was. I knew they agreed.

“Mother says to hold,” Sienna said, though beside her, Ian seemed as restless as rest of us.

“I’ve had enough,” I growled. “Who is with me?!” I shouted, thrilled and emboldened as a great many warriors cheered.

Then, I started moving forward. So many moved with me, I was empowered. Some went to Richard, to protect him, but my gaze was on the enemy line. On Amelia.

She wasn’t going to escape me here. The rest of the battle could go to the hells for all I cared, but I was going to take Amelia down with me.
