Need a lift

Scott felt his entire body quiver both in extreme glee and solace. He held Diana's small body tightly as he close his eyes snuffling her scent into his nose in long audible breaths. He caressed her bare back and felt her tunic ripped in the middle. He opened his eyes, and jolted at the mild scent of a nagua in her.

Scott looked at Diana then uncontrollably showered her face with kisses. "How are you?? Are you hurt??", he held her face and wiped her tears. Diana held Scott's hands on her cheeks and smiled. "I'm fine now", she replied with a smile of content.

With her smile, every part of him wrapped with rage and demeanor easily vanished. "Where does it hurt? What happened to you? I'm so sorry I wasn't there.. I don't know what happened to me", Scott frantically said holding her shoulders as he move his eyes all over her body.

Diana placed her palms on his chest. "There's a… lycan that attacked me.. hurting my leg and back.", Diana stammered unsure if Scott know he's the lycan who destroyed the town, who killed so many, and the one who attacked her. "I was able to escape but, there's some guy from the tavern who kicked me off the cliff.", Diana said staring straight to his grey eyes.

"What the fuck. ALARICK?", Scott furiously said. He have always known he's no good to him and his family. And now that he tried to kill his Luna, and even led the whole town with his evil dispensation to hurt her. Hearing what happened, Scott is decided to take him down before he do something worse.

"Elder Dolphus helped me.. and a.. a nagua just came to my aid too. It cured my back from the lycan's venom", Diana gave out a long sigh realizing Scott is really totally clueless of everything. "For a second, I thought I was going to die. I was ready. But seeing you right now, I didn't know I just need one reason to fight for life and continue living", she said as she exhaled sharply.

Scott smiled at Diana's honesty, and for not holding back the words coming directly from her heart. He admires her will to smile even after everything that happened. "I'm here now. Honestly, I don't have a small hint of what happened. I didn't even know how I ended up on a riverbed..", he said. "I'm sorry Diana if I failed to protect you again. I never thought you'd still want to see me knowing I wasn't there to protect you…" Scott rested his forehead on hers.

"I understand, really. Your brothers.. and your friends were there with me. And some guy, they call Roman", Diana said.

"You won't be seeing him again anytime soon", Scott said as he kiss her forehead. "Wait Luna, where's the nagua now? How did you saw one?", Scott asked trying to divert the topic to hide his bitterness toward Roman.

"It just left minutes ago. I asked it to cure you and Sebastian. But, it seems like it didn't helped you. I think, it's been following me around and have been helping me when I needed a hand", Diana said as she look down. "How's your leg?", she asked in a worried tone.

"It's getting better, love. Don't worry about me", Scott replied kissing her fingers. 'Come to think of it, Diana is safeguarded by a nagua.. Don't tell me that nagua is…', he was in deep thought when he came back to his senses at Diana's grip.

"It doesn't look good. Why haven't it healed?", Diana asked as she clasped his hands. "Scott, I need to tell you something.", the bothered Luna worriedly said. "The silver dagger that you gave me? I used it and..", before she could finish Scott cut her off.

"It doesn't matter, my love. I know you didn't do it on purpose", Scott said.

"No, don't get me wrong… What I'm trying to say is that..", Diana tried to clear things out about her wielding the silver dagger cutting his leg as she let him fall off the cliff in his lycan form when someone interrupted her again.

"What a touching reunion", Adoff grinned at the Alpha and the Luna. He stood behind Scott together with two other wolfsmen. "Thanks Alpha for leading the way for us.", he added as he signaled his companions to seize Diana. Scott placed Diana behind him as they approach.

"You better stop where you're standing. I won't hesitate to kill you all!", Scott threatened as the wolfsmen stopped immediately. They stepped back a little and waited for Adoff's orders.

"Alpha, this woman is bewitching you! We all saw that she spoke to a nagua moments ago! Lucas and the Black Creek wolf saw them too!!", Adoff exclaimed as he clenched his fist. "Right Lucas??", he added as Lucas appear from the side.

Scott gazed at Lucas as he walk closer. "Uhh.. Diana was asking the nagua to treat Seb and you. But I don't think it means she's working with the nagua Elder Adoff", Lucas said as he stand beside Scott. He beamed a charming smile at Diana who's grasping on Scott's hand behind them.

"I don't fucking care why she talks to a nagua. Walk away now or there will be more blood", Scott once again scowled at the wolfsmen attempting to take his Luna.

"Wake up Alpha!! That Luna doesn't even have a scent!! She summoned the beast that nearly killed us all!", Adoff exclaimed. "I don't dare become a corpse from the claws of a beast. Alarick and Stanley are right, we shall kill the Luna for our salvation!", he added. "GET THE LUNA!", Adoff angrily ordered as he shifted to his wolf form followed by the other two wolfsmen.

Lucas was about to shapeshift when he was stopped by Scott. "Get the pack, I got this", he said. If an entire town of wolves is hunting his Luna, he'll need his pack to protect Diana.

"Are you sure?", Lucas asked as he took a glimpse at Scott's wounded leg. "I wouldn't want to see that bleed more", he added.

"For a pack of omegas? I wouldn't even shed a sweat", he said. Lucas scoffed at his confidence as hurriedly went off to fetch the pack. 'He's an Alpha, why would I worry?', Lucas thought.

Scott gripped Diana's hand tightly as they stepped back a little. Securing his Luna near the banyan tree, he moved away to shapeshift. He tightened his jaw, and clenched his fist. In a few seconds nothing happened. 'My body is still weak, I can't fucking shapeshift!!', Scott said as he squinted his eyes.

The three omega wolves growled cornering Scott and Diana. He knew he can take them down one by one, but it may take him time if he wouldn't shapeshift. Diana noticed Scott is taking time to shapeshift. She backed away towards the banyan tree worried if Scott can defeat the three maddening wolves.

Scott charged one of the wolves as he break its legs and flip it away across the ground. Adoff attacked Scott almost biting his arm. Scott was able to grab its jaw pinning him to the ground.

Another wolf attacked Diana as she hid inside the branches of the banyan tree. She took a long branch to poke the wolf out, avoiding to reach her. Seeing his Luna in a dangerous situation, Scott grew more exasperated breaking Adoff's jaw as he kicked him away. He then attacked the wolf circling Diana, cracking its rib and tossing it a few meters from Diana.

Recuperating from the injuries, the three wolves circled the pair. Scott realized he won't be able to stand a chance against these wolves since his body is still weak, and can't shapeshift.

They then heard a motorcycle roaring in the woods nearing them. Scott scoffed at the scent he whiffed as it approach.

Roman banked his motorcycle in between the pair and the wolves. He removed his helmet and stared at Diana. "Need a lift, my Luna?", he said as Scott furiously darkened his eyes.
