The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince

Chapter 467 - Burn Him!

Azura saw Quetz scooping up Jason in his jaws and so he screeched to a halt. He watched him going up in the dark sky above and his blood curdled for a moment when he realized the way Jason met his end. But he focused his gaze on Dawn and noticed that she had gone pretty far. With renewed hatred, he started chasing her again. This time he was sure he would rip her apart. He would shred her into pieces. He would kill her. Even if that meant that Quetz killed him. But he knew that as a dragon with a rider, Quetz would probably go mad in grief at the loss of a rider. The thought increased his craving to kill her all the more.

Dawn was running as fast as she could. The inclination of the mountain was steep and it reduced her speed a little. She could sense Azura gaining distance. Circling the trees and jumping over fallen logs, she took a difficult path to go up in order for him to slow down. However, Azura was in a frenzy. He growled behind her.

'Do you want me to take him, Dawn?' asked Quetz as he hovered above them. 'Because I am dying to!'

'No, only I get to hunt him!' she replied with an angry growl.

'Okay I am right here. If things go out of order, I will kill him!' he said and Dawn knew that Quetz meant every word.

Azura darted after her and when he was no more than ten feet from her, he jumped at her and shifted into his human form with his jaws wide open, showing those elongated fangs that he wanted to sink in her back so desperately.

However, Dawn also leapt forward higher in the air and when her feet touched the ground, she had shifted too. She crouched on the ground, letting Azura fall behind her. Quickly she got up and ran towards a tree. Regaining his balance almost instantly, Azura too ran in her direction. As soon as he came next to her, using her force, she ran a few feet horizontally on the tree in front of her and as soon as Azura came behind her, she swung her leg right on his head.

Black stars formed in his vision and Azura crashed on the ground. "Bitch!" he shouted and immediately got up. Dawn was getting up from the ground when the man lunged at her and rolled with her on the ground. Somehow she kneed him in the stomach and got up to run away, but he came from behind and pressed his arm around her neck.

"One move and I snap that fucking little neck of yours, bitch!" she snarled.

Dawn became absolutely still.

Azura pinned her waist with his other hand next to his chest. He was heaving and panting. "You still feel good Dawn," he said. "If you want me to spare your life just come back to me, and I may… I may think of making you my blood slave." He chortled. "With Jason gone, whom would I feed on, huh?" He nibbled her ear. "Gods, you still feel so good!"

Feeling creepy as hell, her skin lined with goose bumps. "You are beyond redemption Azura," she grated. "What makes you think I am going to let you live?"

"Fuck! This is what I love about you!" he said. "You've always been so challenging that controlling you was overwhelming." He grazed her neck with his fangs, ready to pierce her flesh. "Drinking from you while killing you would be so gratifying!"

"In your dreams, Azura!"

"No dear! Call my name when I drink from you. From what Jason had said, it was a satisfactory experience." He grazed her skin more as his claws raked the skin of her belly. "It seems you are bleeding already. Your blood is so… drug-like…"

He heard a crackling sound and a faint smell of something burning.

"Then why crib when Lazarus drinks from you?" she asked.

He chuckled. "Because that bastard made me his blood slave even though I requested him to make me his blood vassal." He opened his mouth wide after locating her pulse on the throat. He was about to pierce her when he saw blue light circling her arm.

The next second Dawn had raised her elbow that was now circled by blue crackling lights and it hit his jaw from beneath. A sudden jolt of electricity along with massive force hit him and he whimpered as he lost his balance and stumbled back. His eyes flew wide open.

Dawn turned towards him as her eyes shone silver. "You forgot Azura. I come with magic!" Without wasting time, she threw her hands forward and the blue lights let loose on him.

Shocked at hell, Azura jumped to his right at lightning speed to escape the lights. The beams hit the ground and formed a large pit.

"What did you say?" she said. "You want me to make your blood slave?" She threw another beam at him and he dodged it again. "You wanted to kill my daughter? Make her pay for what I did to you?" The fury in her chest rose to alarming levels. She wanted to burn the forest with him in it. The skies above became dark.

Azura ran from there with his tail between his legs. His new mission—to run away and hide somewhere from the bitch. He would strike her again in due time.

The dense clouds overhead cracked open with a thunder and he heard her dragon screeching. It started raining heavily.

He increased his pace and ran down the incline to aid his speed.

Quetz flapped his powerful wings for his rider. He dived to the ground and as soon as he landed, Dawn ran to him, held his spike and swung her leg to sit on his neck. He roared as he soared to the sky. He was desperate to burn the forest just like his rider, but he was controlling himself. He soared higher and spotted Azura running down the slope. Quetz looked up at the clouds where a flash of lightning occurred. With strong strokes of wings, he lunged at it, and Dawn leaned forward to catch the lightning in her hand.

Quetz started descending. In sync with his rider's intentions, he flew down to their target.

Azura wanted to stay hidden from the dragon and knew that once he was under the thick canopy of trees, he would not be visible. So he ran towards dense foliage. He slipped in a puddle of water, but regained his balance. All of a sudden, he heard wings flapping against the pelting rain.

"Shit!" he muttered. "That bloody bitch!" A streak lightning struck near him and he jumped under thicker foliage. He couldn't believe what Dawn was doing. How the hell could she maneuver lightning like this? He knew and was ready for her dragon, but this… this was new.

"Go now!" Dawn commanded and Quetz descended. She threw down another bolt of light and this time it found its target.

Azura burned on its impact. His horrific shrieks in the forest spine chilling. He tried to shift in his wolf form to run and then again to his human form to somehow escape.

When Quetz landed on the ground near him, Dawn watched him while sitting on his neck. His body lay against a boulder in half human – half wolf form, burnt as hell. It was charred and beyond recognition. 'Burn him," she said to her dragon.
