How Much You Mean To Me

Under Kiba's loving gaze, Hope started blasting streams of lightning into Dracon. 

"A little girl couldn't kill me!"

Dracon grunted under the paralyzing effect of lightning. His cells were brimming with energy, and they started exploding, but he didn't die. He was an Alpha, and as long as a droplet of blood remained, he could recover. 

Swish! 

Hope channeled all her strength into her right hand. With complete concentration, she then released a thick bolt of lightning that hit Dracon on the chest.

She looked at him with anticipation. Surely he would explode now!

Ting!

Just then, the door opened, and the sound of familiar heels stepping on the floor followed. 

"!" 

Hope's expression changed to that of fear. Like lightning, she disappeared from her position and hid behind Kiba.

Floating behind his back, she sneakily looked over his shoulder and saw the one she both feared and loved.

Her mom.
