Burn in the Alpha Princess’s Wrath
Chapter 197 Blood and Fire
Kirby’s POV

Finished
The sea wind lashed against my face, sharp with salt. The roar of the heavy transport helicopter was so loud it made my eardrums ache.
I stood at the edge of the open cabin door, staring down at the reef–strewn shore below. Behind me, the Crimson Moon Pack Alpha Strike Unit was fully armed and ready to drop, the fire of battle burning in every pair of eyes.
My wolf, Lance, howled in my chest, his claws scraping against my mind, urging me to leap, to tear apart anything that dared threaten her.
“She’s down there!” Lance snarled. Victor’s device had pointed to this island–there was no mistake.
My blood boiled. My heart felt like it was being crushed by an invisible hand.
She was my mate. My Luna. Anyone who touched her would pay with blood.
1 leapt.
The wind screamed in my ears. The Crimson Moon guards followed behind me like shadows, their claws and fangs gleaming under the sun.
Below, the Sea Demons shouted in alarm–like a pack of hyenas, savage and loud.
Three men stood on the reef, each shouldering a modified crossbow, cigarette butts glowing between their fingers, their eyes glinting with greed and arrogance.
The moment I hit the ground, my Alpha field exploded outward. The air compressed, crushing down on them like a boulder.
“Kill!” I growled.
My body transformed mid–stride, half–beast form bursting forth. Crimson fur flared around me like fire.
I lunged at the nearest pirate, My claws tore straight through his chest. Blood and muscle splattered the rock, bone snapped like dry wood beneath my swipe.
He didn’t even have time to scream.
The second pirate raised his weapon. A silver bolt sliced across my shoulder, burning like acid.

I didn’t care.

I clamped my jaws around his arm and ripped it off.
Blood sprayed like a fountain. The air reeked of iron.

The Sea Demons fought back, bolts laced with Wolfsbane, striking the stone and sparking on impact.
But within my Alpha field, they moved like they were underwater.
My team darted through the fray like ghosts–claws slicing, jaws snapping. Bone shattered. Flesh ripped.
Their howls were drowned by the ocean’s roar.
This beach was now a killing ground.
I didn’t care about their weapons. I didn’t care how many of them there were.
Lance thundered inside me. “Kill them all. For her!”
My rage consumed everything. Every strike hit like judgment.
Leslie’s scent was close. She was just behind that outcrop–alive, but hurt.
I had to get to her. Nothing in my way would survive.
The battle lasted less than five minutes.
Sea Demons corpses littered the sand, their blood staining the surf red.
I gasped for breath. My crimson fur slowly receded as I shifted back to human form.
My men gathered around me, eyes blazing with awe and reverence.
But my eyes locked onto one place–the low reef, where Leslie was.
“Leslie!” I growled, my voice hoarse, burning with desperation.
I charged forward. My heart pounded so hard it felt like it might explode.
Leslie’s POV
I crouched behind the rock, clutching the stolen crossbow, its tip pressed hard against the head of that wiry pirate.

Asphodel growled weakly inside me. “Hold on, Leslie. We can’t die here!”

The wound on my shoulder had scabbed over, but the pain in my knee stabbed with every twitch. Still, I gritted my teeth and forced myself to stay calm.
The Sea Demons‘ laughter echoed around me, mixed with salt air and the stench of Smoke Pack wolves.
My heart slammed against my ribs. Every nerve was stretched thin.
Just as I was about to pull the trigger, a deep, earth–shaking roar erupted overhead. The air felt like it had been crushed by invisible hands.
peeked around the rock—and my pupils shrank.
Kirby.
He’d transformed into a giant wolf, cloaked in flaming red fur. His claws tore through a pirate’s chest like it was nothing, blood splashing across the stones.
His eyes burned with fury. He moved faster than a blur–every strike was pure annihilation.
The Crimson Moon Pack guards were right behind him, wolves in half–shift, fangs flashing, claws ripping. Their battle cries drowned out the pirates‘ screams.
I was stunned.
This man—the one I once hated to my core for his coldness and distance–had become a beast of war, slaughtering my enemies for me.
His Alpha domain blanketed the battlefield. The very air reeked of blood and death.
One Sea Demon after another fell. The reef became a butcher’s altar.
My heart raced–part fear, part something else I couldn’t name.
That cold and noble Kirby… when had he become this terrifying crimson wolf?
His howl sent shivers down my spine. I could feel his wolf’s fury–burning like wildfire.
“Leslie!” his voice tore across the blood–soaked sand, raw and desperate.
I trembled slightly, still holding the crossbow.
Asphodel whispered, “He’s here…”
I bit down and forced myself to stand.

Whoever he was–whatever he’d become–I would not appear weak before him.
But when I saw him rushing toward me, eyes filled with fury and fear-
My heart skipped all the same.
