Healing His Broken Luna.... Chapter 70

Chapter 26 - Sinking

Dimitri's POV

"Put the fish down Niko." Raven whispered to Niko.

We were crouched down on the stern of Poseidon's Trident fishing boat and Niko was being Niko. I hope his new mate will appreciate the sense of humor he has. The fishing boat belonged to a local fishing company that was owned by a friend of Niko's. The barrel of fish up on deck would certainly hide our scents if the wind picked up. I just hope Niko doesn't start playing with the barrel of squid next to my mate; she might consider setting his hair on fire.

"What are you grinning at?" Raven asked me.

"You, you're so cute." I told her and kissed her delicious lips.

"Ugh I think I'm going to be sick." Knox groaned.

"Motion sickness?" Niko asked.

"No, all this mushy kissing." Knox laughed and we all tried to hold back our laughter. I liked Raven's brother, he was open and willing to help his sister the moment she asked with no hesitation. I would the same for Odessa if she ever needed my help.

The marine biology and research lab boat was docked near the yacht. A dozen of our warriors had boarded the boat late last night and docked it near the area where the yacht preferred to anchor each morning. When the yacht returned from its sail to Santorini in the morning, it dropped anchor without suspicion.

We slowly made our way closer towards the yacht and I mind linked the warriors into position. The warriors slipped into the water next to the research boat and waited. There was a good chance that the yacht was equipped with a fish finder and would be able to pick up the movement from anyone swimming near the boat.

I gave Knox the cue and he pulled a massive wave of water up over the bow of the boat. Knox continued to rock the yacht with crashing waves. An armed guard came into view on the deck and Raven lifted him up with a water bubble and dropped him in the water next to our warriors.

Another giant wave came over the bow of the yacht and another armed guard stepped out. Knox hit him with a big wave that sent him falling over the edge and triggered a wolfbane mister. Wolfbane had a purple hue to it and we could see the misters that wrapped around the yacht. We've got to take them out to prevent our guys getting misted.

"Raven, do you think you can take out the misters on our side of the yacht with fire?" I asked.

"I can certainly try." She said.

"Knox once she burns out the misters, extinguish the fire so it doesn't burn down the entire yacht just yet." I said.

Raven pulled out her lighter and lit the flame. She looked like she was holding a ball of fire and threw it in the air. The fire hit the mister and Raven continued to do the same to a few more until we had a safe point to pass by. Once the misters were disabled, Knox put the fire out with sea water.

An alarm sounded on the boat and it started to lift anchor to sail. If this thing started moving we would lose it. Our fishing boat wasn't fast enough. We needed to get on that boat now.

"We need to get on the yacht now!" I called out.

Knox and Raven started lifting up warriors with water and dropping them on the deck of the yacht. The yacht blew its horn and started moving. Three more guards who shifted into wolves started fighting with our warriors.

"Raven get Alexander on the yacht" I pointed to him in the water and she lifted him right up with the water and dropped him on deck.

"I could push the boat towards shore with water." Knox said and I gave him a nod. There's no way I could let this boat escape.

The yacht was trying to move at full throttle and Knox was grunting and fighting pretty hard to hold the yacht there. A wolfbane dart was triggered from just below that mast of the yacht and Raven sent a big ball of fire to take it out.

"Our mate is brilliant." Dom said full of pride.

Knox was struggling to keep the yacht in place with wave after wave. I had an idea, but I haven't really done this before in such deep water. I focused on the sea floor which was made up of earth and willed all my energy into pulling up a sea stack of rock beneath the yacht. A roar escaped me as I focused my strength and a massive sea stack rose right up causing a collision. I heard Niko let out a whoop of excitement as the yacht became disabled.

"The yacht will be taking on water, we need to hurry. Raven, transport me to the yacht and Knox, transport Niko." I said.

"Be careful." Raven called out as I jumped down into the water below. Niko landed beside me and we were lifted with the water and dropped on the deck of the yacht.

A guard came running onto the deck firing his gun and a moment later he was covered in a ball of fire. His screams echoed off the sea and he fell overboard. I was so proud of my little bird; she was getting better with her elements. We made our way into the lower cabins of the yacht and it was filling up with water fast.

"Niko get down to the lowest cabin first and make sure they're not there, this thing is going to sink quick." Niko went down lower and I searched the rooms on the central level. I found no one. I could still hear fighting going on between my men and Eros' men.

Someone had to be trying to sail the boat, so I went up to look in the cockpit. I heard sounds of rustling and found a badly burned Eros standing there. He wasn't alone, he held a gun to Leo's head who appeared to be badly beaten and possibly drugged.

"We found them. I've got Alec and Knox has Rocky, but Leo's not here." Niko mind linked me.

"I'm with Eros and Leo in the cockpit." I quickly linked back.

"That's a very talented mate you have Dimitri!" Eros sneered at me.

"She is, isn't she!" I smugly replied.

"She will die for what she did to me." He roared.

"You don't look like you're getting out of this alive." I said.

"This isn't plastic!" He waved his gun and brought it right back to Leo's head. "It's loaded with silver bullets and there's plenty to go around for you too!"

"She's going to roast you the second you step off this yacht."

"We'll see about that, Leo and I are going to go for a swim, aren't we Leo. If anyone comes after me, I kill him." He pointed the gun back to Leo's head.

"Hurry up this thing is sinking quick; water is almost to the top deck." Niko linked me.

"You're a dead man Eros!" I snarled.

"Your father says the same thing about you." He growled back.

"The fool with one eye hiding on Santorini. I'm going to finish him when I'm done with you" I said dangerously and could see a flicker of fear in Eros' eyes. "Oh yes, I know where that sadistic bastard is hiding." I continued.

"He'll find you first, he's got the city crawling with men. You will pay for everything." Eros said.

"He's known for a decade where to find me. I haven't been hiding under some rock. I've built the strongest pack on this continent and I'm going to take your pack in the north too. I'm going to challenge and kill your bastard son when I'm done with you scar face." I growled.

"You're a walking corpse." Eros snarled.

"Only dead man here is the one I'm looking at. If I don't kill you, my father will, he hates when you mess up." I said.

Eros backed slowly out the cockpit and water was starting to flood in, the boat was almost fully submerged. Raven pulled a water bubble up over Eros' head to drown him and the gun fired. I ducked as the bullet grazed my shoulder.

Leo dropped to the deck with Eros still struggling to breath behind him. Eros gave me a final look of rage, aimed the gun back at Leo and pulled the trigger. Leo fell forward and the life left his eyes. Raven let out a scream, breaking her focus. Eros dropped on the deck, coughing for air. Proving evil doesn't die so easily, Eros was still alive.

I was standing knee deep in water and picked Eros up by the neck. We were sinking fast. Dom would have liked to torture him a bit, but the water patrols would be heading our way soon and we had a few dead bodies in the water. Eros made a feeble attempt to escape my grip, but I just dug my hand right into his flesh, my claws extended, and I ripped out his throat.

I dropped Eros' lifeless body into the sea and picked up Leo's. Leo deserved a proper burial. He was so young and got mixed up in all of this because he was a good friend to my mate. Knox lifted me back up onto the fishing boat and Alexander took Leo's body. Raven ran to me and buried her sobbing face into my chest. I wrapped my arms around my mate to comfort her and kissed the top of her head. Dom howled in my head at the grief his mate was feeling.

My eyes met with Alec's who was leaning on Niko to help him stand up. He looked horrible. A wolf has quick healing, but Alec looked like he was struggling. "Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yes, just a little wolfbane injections to keep us weak. They gave them to all of us." He said.

I found Knox still holding Rocky, she appeared to be in the same shape as Alec, but obviously distraught over the loss of Leo. He held her close into his chest while she sobbed.

"Rocky, we're going to need to take Leo back to your pack. I'm going to call Alpha Georgios and explain everything." I said.

"Rocky, oh Goddess Rocky." Raven said as she lifted her head off my chest. She had just realized that Rocky was on the boat with us. She turned around and walked towards Rocky, when she reached out to hug her, Knox let out a possessive growl.
