Alphas Broken Mate
Chapter 72

Catalina's POV

At the foot of the mountain there is a cavern. Zeus picks himself up.

"So you think you can banish me like the Titans. I WAS THE ONE WHO BANISHED THEM!" Zeus' voice booms shaking the ground. "I'm sure they would love to say thank you for that." Helios says.

"Oh how we forget who helped me. You all helped." Zeus says.

"We helped because we wanted to be free. We were tired of fighting each other. Now look at us." The Moon Goddess says. "You can't talk me out of the Phoebe." Zeus says.

"Fine then. You leave us with no choice." Helios says. Just then Lilith shows up with some of her sisters, circling us. They are chanting something and the ground begins to shake. A white almost translucent circle forms around the witches. The very air is vibrating. "Now!" Helios shouts. We all focus our energy on Zeus. Zeus sends out a few shots aiming for anyone of us. One bolt flies past my head. I see a bolt hit Helios, but he keeps on pushing. Zeus screams out in rage and another wave of bolts fly out. I noticed the circle is keeping the bolts from passing. Then a sharp pain comes from my shoulder as a bolt hits my back.

"Lina!" Kehlani shouts.

"Keep blasting Zeus." I say. I get up to my knees.

"Come on Helia. We have to keep going." I say to my Phoenix. I reach my hand out and nothing happens. "Helia?" I say.

"I'm trying." Say replies. I dig deep. I think about all the pain from my life. I think about my father and mother and how they treated me. I think about Alpha Jackson and how he terrorized and abused me. I think about Beta Yuri and his abuse and almost murdering me. I think about Alpha Liam trying to trick me and how he treated Andrew and Raymond. I think about every painful memory I've ever had. Suddenly I feel Helia and her familiar rage. I reach my hand out again and this time fire poured out, hitting Zeus and knocking him back. With all 4 of us baring down at him, we manage to knock him back to the mouth of the cavern. We can do this! We can defeat him. We just have to push a little harder. I thought about when Andrew rejected me. I thought about when Gamma Lucas left the pack. I thought about the first time Beta Yuri visited my bedroom. I pulled from my darkest memories to fuel my rage. I got to my feet and reached out both hands. Zeus roared again with anger and fear. Bolts flew from him in all directions. We all pushed one last time and got him into the cavern as a pain ripped through my body. I fell backwards as my vision blurred.

"Lina are you ok?" I heard a soft voice ask. My vision is failing me, then blackness. My body is being carried. I peek open my eyes and see the blue sky. I try to speak but nothing really comes out.

"Shhh don't try and speak. Just rest." I hear right before darkness comes back. I open my eyes again and I'm in the clinic. The white light hurts my eyes and I squint my eyes against the harsh lights. I see figures moving around me. They are treating my shoulder and side, both burned.

"Her pulse is dropping."

"Her wounds keep burning."

"She's a Phoenix, she'll just come back to life if she dies, right?"

"Do you want us to take that chance?"

"It's like the bolts were infected and she's burning from the inside out." Andrew's POV

Zeus shot lightning bolts through the field of warriors. I hear the cry of the wolves and witches struck by the bolts. Then I see Lina, Helios, Kehlani, and the moon Goddess strike Zeus. They hit him hard and he falls to the ground. Lilith and her sister use their magic to teleport all of them away. After they were gone it was silent, except for the wounded warriors. The field turned into a triage center. Pack doctors were everywhere. I tried to help organize the wounded, but there were so many of them. Our people really took a hit and I know it will crush Lina to find out. There was a flash of light and the Gods and witches returned. I ran up to them but didn't see Lina. When I got close I saw Lina on the ground, her shoulder and side were black and blistering. I ran to her and lifted her up. I took her to the hospital right away. I heard her trying to speak.

"Shhh don't try and speak. Just rest." I say as she lost consciousness again. Once in the hospital a nurse put her on a bed and a doctor looks at her wounds.

"I'm surprised she is still alive with these wounds." The doctor says. Nurses remove her shirt and clean the burns.

"Her pulse is dropping" one nurse says.

"Her wounds keep burning" the doctor comments.

"She's a Phoenix, she'll just come back to life if she dies, right?" Rachel says from behind me.

"Do you want us to take that chance?" The doctor snaps.

"It's like the bolts were infected and she's burning from the inside out." A nurse says. I feel so useless. Lina baby please be alright. I need you to be alright. Catalina's POV

Dream

I open my eyes to a beautiful blue sky with white puffy clouds. I am floating in the sky high above the ground.

"Lina." A voice startles me and I turn to see Kehlani. I smile.

"Kehlani. Did we do it?" I asked

"Yes, Zeus is imprisoned for now." She says with a pained face.

"That's good news. But why does it look like it's not?" I ask concerned.

"No it's good news, but Lina your people have taken a great deal of pain and loss. That includes you." She explains.

"But I'm a Phoenix, I'll come back if I die right?" I ask.

"It's hard to say. The trouble with being so rare is we don't know the extent of your abilities. A God granted you the power, so it could be believed a God could take them away. The problem is, no Phoenix has fought a God before."

"I see. So I could die, for good this time."

"You could. The moon Goddess wanted to make the same offer Zeus did to you."

"Im not a God Kehlani. Im just a wolf. I don't want to die and leave my people hurt, but I don't want to live and have to leave them." I say. She nods and smile.

"I knew you'd say that. That's why you are my favorite." She says.

"What happens now?" I ask.

"It's going to hurt." She says. Then I feel a shock run through my body.

"What was that?" I ask.

"Wake up Lina!" She says. Then another shock. I gasp and I open my eyes. Im in the pack hospital.

"We got her back." The doctor says. The nursed sticks a needle in my arm and hooks me up to machines. My body aches and I can't move anything. My eyelids feel heavy and all I want to do is sleep. I feel someone take my hand and I look up, my eyes lock with Andrew. I sigh. He looks so worried. His eyes are the last thing I remember before the blackness takes me.
