Chapter 24

He was charging towards me with his body slightly tilted to my left with his hands stretched out. In that instant I knew what he was trying to do he was trying to use his weight difference and his height against me.

As soon as he was close enough I swiftly moved out of the way and he ended up charging head first into a tree. Laughter echoed throughout mine and Alek’s pack at his foolishness. I couldn’t help the small smile that crept onto my face.

What training had this alpha done he was clumsy and it showed through his movements what his next attack was going to be. He stood up from his position clutching his head a look of pure anger and hatred crossed his face as he charged me again and again with me dodging his attacks.

James was an alpha but it was clear to see who was superior he had strength and size on his side as he was about 6’2 but he did not count for the fact that I was smaller and had speed on my side and could easily avoid his advances.

After a few more of his lunges I made my move as he charged towards me I stepped out of the way bringing my hand forwards and punching him in the face. As his nose bled he tried to counter my attack with a punch of his own I dodged it and moved behind him and swept one of his legs out from underneath him so he was kneeling.

I jumped up and punched him a few times in the face and kicked his stomach making him fall to the ground with a groan of pain.

I stood waiting for him to stand up but he just laid there I was shocked I knew I was good but I was expecting more from an alpha especially James who had been so confident of his abilities.

I looked to Alek he looked slightly shocked but hid it well the only reason I noticed it was because I could see it in his eyes.

I looked over my pack and saw that they were alertly watching the black wolf pack I felt a sense of pride that they had taken my warning so seriously.

I heard another groan from James who was still lying on the ground “why don’t you stop looking around and kill me already” he said pain lacing his voice.

All I could think was is this guy serious he was in this much pain from a few punches it was clear that he hadn’t been trained well at all if I could take him down in less than five minutes.

He wanted me to kill him and my wolf had wanted her revenge but still it felt wrong for us to take a life unless it was necessary.

Leave him we both feel it that it is not right for us to end his life this way we wish for revenge and we have defeated him and shown him who is more powerful it is not right for us to end his life with his mate watching us as well it will not just be harming him but his mate also.

At her words I looked towards James ex mate Tia who was in the arms of Amy and the European girl whose name I needed to learn. I could see the pain in her eyes it would hurt her if we ended James’s life even if they had not mated they were linked still.

I sighed and looked James in the eye before speaking “I have won this fight as it is easy to see I hate the way you have treated these people especially your mate but I will not end your useless life for it would not be just you who I was harming. Since I won this fight I will be taking control of your pack whether you like it or not and you will be branded as a rogue and never allowed on pack land again. I have spared your life but do not think I won’t take your life if you cause any harm to my people. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?”

My last word echoed across the hundreds of wolves in the clearing causing those from James’s pack to take a step back in fear and whimper. Many of his pack especially the young looked abused and half dead I could see cuts bruises and their ribs through the little clothing they wore.

I let an involuntary growl slip through my lips that had James’s nodding at my previous question. I turned to walk back to my pack after I had taken a step I felt a presence behind me I quickly moved though I wasn’t quick enough as I felt a sharp pain against my waist.

I heard growls from my pack though the loudest was from Alek whose eyes had turned a dark blue a sign of his wolf. I touched my side and saw it was covered in blood I looked up and was met with the sight of James holding a large dagger drenched in my blood.

“Please bitch you didn’t think I was going to let you get away unscathed after what you did” James sneered at me preparing to strike again.

Was this guy an idiot he had thoroughly pissed of me and my wolf. The fact that he had pissed of my wolf was an achievement for she was normally the more patient one that would look for ways to stop conflict without violence she took her role as a protector and alpha of the Locus pack seriously and know she was pissed.

Kill him how dare he disrespect our giving nature, just because we let him live does not mean we can’t kill him know.

I agreed with my wolf that idiot had really hurt me, my side had started to go numb which I knew was not a good sign.

My pack was know on high alert and as soon as James gave his command to attack a few of his wolves lunged though a large majority stayed behind way from the violence. My pack sprang into action along with Alek and his.

James charged towards me his dagger at the ready I stood in my fighting stance feet spread apart. As soon as he was pushing the dagger towards me I pushed my hands onto his wrist deflecting the blade and punching him in the stomach causing his breath to get caught in his throat. I thought he would stop but he aimed a punch at my waist were his dagger had cut me.

His fist connected with my waist I gritted my teeth at the pain and pushed my knee into his face causing him to move back a few steps. I followed but noticed the noise of fighting around me had died down and know most of the mine an Alek’s pack were watching my fight with James while a few kept an eye on those of James’s pack who did not fight.

I stepped up in front of him he tried to punch me in the face but I deflected it easily as he tried another form of attack by trying to kick me but I caught his leg and twisted it snapping the bone. He screamed out in pain as he landed on the ground.

I looked towards my pack checking them over some had a few small wounds but as I looked I saw that Drew had a more serious looking wound on his arm.

I could feel the anger pouring of me I walked closer to James and held him by the neck.

I felt my wolf come closer to the surface as I heard gasps from Alek and the black wolf pack at seeing my wolfs glowing golden eyes. James looked terrified but even if he pleaded for his life we would not let him live he had broken the only rule I had given never to hurt my pack.

“You dare defy us when we were merciful enough to let you live. You have not only hurt us but also our pack while we let you live for the countless injustices that you have committed. But no more for harming our pack and that of my mates your life will be forfeited.” Our voices boomed as my wolf and I spoke as one.

We let go of his throat his eyes were wide open with fear looking for someone to help him but no one came close. I stepped forward as he spoke.

“You wouldn’t hurt me would you I used to be your alpha and I can tell you the secrets that the council are keeping from you, also your meant to protect wolves not kill them” he said smirking as if he had talked his way out of being killed.

“We may be protectors but that also means we are warriors and with that said the greatest threat to my pack is you as you have so kindly proven you forfeited your life the moment you yelled the command to attack” we snarled.

“You can’t kill me that would go against the treaty you have with the council with your role as protector and alpha of the strongest pack” he said calmly but I could see the fear in his eyes as I grabbed his neck.

“Guess what? We don’t give a shit” with that said together my wolf and I twisted James’s head to the side with one swift movement his neck was broken.

I let his lifeless body drop to the ground and turned towards my warriors who were keeping a close eye on the wolves from the black wolf pack that didn’t fight.

They last of the black wolf pack all looked at me with shock the same was with Alek and his pack I let my eyes change back to their natural green colour.

I sighed feeling tiredness creep into me it’s going to take a while to take care of all of this.
