The Alpha's Unclaimed Mate novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109: A Thousand Arrows Walk Into a Rift

Serena ran out of the portal, glowing gold.

The camp had become a slaughterhouse.

Dark Fae moved through the tents. Black magic dripped from their fingers, leaving soldiers screaming.

One Fae crouched over a fallen warrior, its face splitting open to reveal rows of needle-thin teeth. Another dragged a mage by the throat, claws sunk deep, dark tendrils crawling into the mage’s eyes.

"Get her. She is the one," a Dark Fae commander called, speaking in High Orosian.

Another portal opened, and out ran Gavriel, Fin, Dexmon, Aeron, and Hyran.

From the sky, a Dark Fae stood on a water dragon blowing a horn.

Gav looked up to see the rift, now large enough to fit a castle. A Dark Fae army was marching through.

"Well," Gav said, staring. "That’s aggressive."

Serena ran towards it at Alpha speed.

"Serena," Fin was already running after her, teeth gritted.

Velkaris roared glowing gold, and flew parallel to her close to the ground as she ran. She jumped on his back.

Fin’s heart nearly gave out, and he fell to his knees at what happened next. He’d seen Serena fall from a distance. He’d heard her screams through mindlinks.

But he’d never seen it in daylight, without storm cover or distance to soften it. He’d never seen it close enough to understand the scale.

Velkaris bucked her off his back into the air, then dove under her, so she landed on his head. He gave a proud roar that vibrated across the camp.

From the rift, fire dragons began to emerge, all with Fae riders. A water dragon was in the front and center.

"On it," Dexmon said. He cracked his neck, rolling his shoulders like he was walking into a bar fight and not toward a dark magic convoy. "Try not to lose the camp while I’m gone."

Hyran: Only clean kills by beheading. Otherwise they explode.

"That complicates this," Gav sighed. A Dark Fae came straight for Fin, who was still looking up at Serena in absolute horror.

Gav lunged in between. Its head was off before it could detonate outward.

"Don’t worry. She’s really bad at dying," Gav said, panting. He offered Fin a hand.

From above on Velkaris’s head, Serena extended her hand out palm up. And like a thunderclap from the gods, a beam of light came from the heavens. A golden arrow vibrated into existence.

Half of the battle froze stunned.

Fin watched, and his muscles locked. He’d never seen anything like it. But it didn’t matter. He didn’t like her up there alone. Or here at all. None of this.
