MTLNOVEL Chapter 6: Chapter 6: The Battle for Survival
Got it! I'll split Chapter 6 into two—making Chapter 6 focus on the intense battle and Emily's capture, and Chapter 7 will cover Vincent's
The battlefield was drenched in blood.
Vincent (Kristof) moved like a phantom, his fists and claws tearing through his enemies. Five warriors fell in an instant, their bodies crumpling like ragdolls as he unleashed his fury.
But the dark forces were relentless.
They outnumbered him, their coordinated attacks pushing him back. His golden eyes flashed as he dodged, countered, and struck, but exhaustion was beginning to creep in.
Then—danger.
A shadow lunged at him from behind. The cold steel of a blade whistled through the air—
And then it stopped.
Elijah.
The stranger moved with inhuman speed, intercepting the attack with deadly precision. His silver eyes burned with intensity as he struck down the enemies behind Vincent. Fangs bared. Claws flashing. A warrior in his element.
Vincent barely had time to process his presence before Elijah turned to him, breathing heavily.
"You're not dying today," he growled.
Their eyes met—and something clicked.
Destiny.
Vincent didn't know how, but he knew. Elijah was meant to fight beside him.
But before he could speak, more enemies swarmed.
The dark forces attacked from all angles, their sheer numbers overwhelming them. Vincent and Elijah fought back with everything they had, but for every enemy they struck down, three more replaced them.
A sharp pain tore through Vincent's ribs as a heavy fist landed, sending him crashing against a tree. He gritted his teeth, struggling to rise, but a swift kick to his chest knocked the air from his lungs.
Elijah, too, was struggling. He took down two warriors but was then struck hard from behind. He collapsed, blood pooling around him.
Vincent's vision blurred. His breath came in ragged gasps. They were losing.
Then—a scream.
Emily.
His heart clenched as he saw her being dragged away.
She fought, her eyes wild with terror, but they were too strong.
"Vincent!" she cried.
He roared, trying to force himself up, but a brutal punch sent him crashing to the ground.
Through the haze, he saw Tobias Blackfang, the leader of The Howling Order, standing over him.
A smirk played on Tobias' lips. "Take the girl. Kill the rest."
Vincent's world shattered as he watched Emily disappear into the night.
Darkness crept over his vision. His limbs felt heavy.
He heard footsteps approaching—the final blow was coming.
And then—
A monstrous snarl tore through the air.

The Wrath of an Alpha's Bloodline
A massive grey wolf burst from the shadows, her silver eyes burning with pure rage.
His mother.
Luna Aurelia Drago moved like a storm of fangs and claws, her enormous form ripping through enemies without mercy.
At the same time, a dark shadow flashed.
His father.
Viktor Kane Drago moved with unnatural speed, his twin blades slicing through flesh like air.
Eight warriors fell in an instant.
Vincent gasped from the ground, his chest burning with exhaustion. But even in his weakened state, he could feel it—
The power of his bloodline.
His parents weren't just warriors.
They were legends.

Chapter 7: Death and Rebirth
The battle had ended. The dark forces had retreated, leaving only destruction behind.
But Emily was gone.
Vincent staggered toward Elijah, who lay motionless on the ground. Blood stained his clothes, but his silver eyes fluttered open.
"You're alive," Vincent breathed.
Elijah coughed, wincing in pain. "Barely."
Vincent clenched his fists. His entire body trembled with rage.
"We're getting her back," he growled.
Elijah nodded, his gaze serious. "You're not ready."
Vincent turned to him sharply. "What do you mean?"
Elijah's voice was grave. "You're powerful, but not enough. If you go now, you'll die. You have to embrace what you are."
Vincent narrowed his eyes. "And how do I do that?"
Elijah took a deep breath. "You have to die."
Silence.
Vincent's heart pounded. "You're joking."
Elijah met his gaze, deadly serious. "It's the only way."
Vincent swallowed hard. His father had said the same thing.
To awaken his vampire side, he had to die.
He exhaled sharply.
If that was the price for saving Emily, he would pay it.

The Awakening
Vincent stood in the center of the forest, surrounded by his parents and Elijah.
His father stepped forward, his voice low. "This won't be easy."
Vincent nodded. "I know."
Viktor met his son's gaze for a long moment. Then, without hesitation—
He drove a dagger into Vincent's heart.
Pain.
Burning, searing pain.
Vincent gasped, his body collapsing. His heartbeat slowed. Darkness swallowed him.
For a moment, everything was silent.
Then—fire ignited inside him.
Vincent's eyes snapped open.
But they were no longer golden.
They were blood-red.
A surge of power exploded from his body. His fangs extended. His senses sharpened. His strength multiplied.
He was no longer just a boy.
He was the Alpha Hybrid.

The Rescue and the Marking
Vincent tore through the enemy stronghold. Nothing could stop him now.
Blood painted his hands as he ripped through anyone who stood in his way.
Then—he saw her.
Emily.
Bound, bruised, but still alive.
Their eyes met.
"Vincent," she whispered.
Fury overtook him. His blood-red eyes blazed as he ripped through her captors mercilessly.
Within moments, Emily was in his arms.
He took her home, cleaned her wounds, and made sure she was safe.
But something had changed.
The bond between them was stronger now.
The air was thick with tension as she gazed at him, her breath shaky. "You saved me," she whispered.
His chest rose and fell, his control hanging by a thread. "I almost lost you."
Their lips met in a deep, fiery kiss.
As their passion built, his fangs lengthened.
He pulled back, panting, trying to stop himself. "Emily, I—"
But she wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering against his lips.
"Do it."
Her voice was breathless, desperate.
"Mark me, Vincent."
His body shuddered. He buried his face in her neck, his fangs grazing her skin.
Then—he bit down.
A gasp escaped Emily's lips.
Pleasure and power surged through them both.
She was his.
Forever.
