She raised the knife higher, then swung forward with all her might, not at all catching onto the fact that the eyes of the alpha king beneath her wasn't hazel anymore, they were red.Xavier grabbed after her quickly approaching hand, however, he wasn't the one to catch it. It was somebody who came up from behind, somebody no other than Celia.Her eyes were austere, her lips pursed in a thin line...she didn't seem the least bit surprised, if anything, she seem irritated, angry even. "You're a stupid b*tch, you know that?"The omega on top of him gasped, cocking her head to stare back at Celia. "W-What...how...are you here?""That doesn't matter." Celia pulled the omegas hand forward, situating the knife in it at her neck. "Why don't you try killing him again when you make it out of hell?"A petrified look invaded the girl's eyes, her body starting to shake. "P-Please I..." She tried to push away from the knife, but it was useless...for regardless of her struggles, Celia sliced right th
Xavier leaned in, resting his forehead against hers. "Will you really not kiss me?"Celia shook her head. "Not after all you've done.""I told you sorry, I almost got killed and yet you're still angry at me...come on, my vixen...don't let such things come between us. You don't have to be self-conscious, if you trusted me, then you'd have known that I'd never do you so dirty.""You've done it before.""That was back then...am I not a changed man now?""How should I know if you're changed or not? Men are always gonna be men...you all are f*cking dogs."Xavier sighed inching even closer. "Those words just shattered my pride, even my wolf whimpered. When are you going to stop comparing me to a dog? I marked you, you called me a dog and now you're insinuating that all men including me are dogs. Can a dog ever f*ck you like I do?"Celia frowned. "No bu—""Can a dog ever love you more than I do?"Celia shrugged. "Perhap—""Errr! You're wrong, nobody can love you as much as I do, you've become
Xavier and Celia stepped out of the room together, Celia wearing the same clothes she had thrown off and Xavier still wearing the bloodied ones. "I think I need a bath...""We both do...we smell quite awful.""Then how about another round in the shower?""How about another round up your ass?"Xavier glared over at her. "You're always like this and when it gets down to it, you're even more desperate than I a—""Xavier..."Xavier twisted towards the stairs, watching as Gabriel climbed up the steps. "It's happening again, a march bigger than the one five years ago has begun... They're approaching the east side of the borders though far, their approach is quick.""You're talking about the new protest Alex declared? So soon? Don't they know it's useless? It'll be just like the last time...one howl and they'll all be bowing before the wolf they despise. This time I won't let any of them live.""This time it's different Alpha, not everyone will bow...humans are marching in right behind them.
He rammed the knife forward and Xavier's heart froze in his chest. "Don—!"The sound of a knife puncturing skin was heard, but instead of the alpha who laid on the floor, a knife was stuck in the perpetrator's head. Blood ran from the wound and slowly, the veins in his head rose and instead of red, blue ran through them...wolfbane.As soon as he fell to the floor, Xavier...well not just Xavier but everybody in front turned to Celeste who stood speechless at the back. Her lips were quivering and Xavier could've sworn on his life that he heard her heartbeat. "Where did you get the knife?""I-I...I picked it up on my way in...from the guards.""Then...nice throw.""Y-You thought me, remember?""Yea—""Not much time for a memory trip, who's got four more knives?"Everybody turned to Liam, then to the four men in front of them. They rushed forward, launching a filmsy attack that Gabriel, Liam, Fredd and Xavier countered. Pretty soon all four was on the floor, unable to breathe.Xavier step
"I had no choice, Sasha was all I had left, she was the only rememberance I had of my Natasha. She's her daughter you see, they look so much alike despite the 19 years difference. I couldn't have murdered her when she raided my pack, and so my weak heart gave her the go to do whatever she wanted and now I regret it." He looked away, wiping his eyes. "Sasha started this and she won't stop until it's finished.""Well human or not, Sasha won't live long enough to finish whatever this is to her. Her revenge party is getting too loud, someone ought to turn it down." Xavier gestured towards the alpha. "Lock him back up Gabriel...ohh and wait, is there no cure at all for wolfbane? You're a wolf too, I'm sure you must've thought it'd be dangerous for you too.""I've been trying to come up with one, but I haven't found the right ingredients yet...it's frustrating really, a cure could've ended this.""So there's nothing at all that can slow it down? I've noticed that it spreads as fast as light
Xavier shoved Zillon's hand off of his shoulder and started walking towards the exit. "I don't want to hear it, I've already made up my mind."Celia followed him. "You can't, if nobody else can come, I'm coming. I don't care about what you have to say.""Do you want me to finally tie you to the tree at the front of the forest like I always promised? You're not coming Celia, it's too dangerous... especially for you. You're going to be their target.""It's true, Celia...you can't go."Celia fanned Celeste off. "I'm going regardless of what anybody has to say. Xavier doesn't control me, he can't stop me from doing what I want!"She walked in front of him, blocking his path. "Take what of the pack is here, use them, you're their alpha...they should be happy to die for you."Xavier stopped in front of her, his expression nonchalant. "And will I be happy about them dying for me? Stop, I already made up my mind.""No...!" Tears bled from Celia's eyes. "This is suicide! You can't just go out
The men stayed still and as stiff as the trees that reigned around them until before them stood an entire army of people...wolves lined out in front and behind the furry beasts stood humans, real humans.As if on impulse, all the men behind Xavier crouched down, they too transforming into the skin of their beasts. They didn't attack, but they were fully prepared to. Xavier stepped forward and despite the warning he gave before, Celia followed him. "I'm giving you guys a chance to revoke this protest, theirs no need for bloodshed, I'm already king, I've been king for years and no matter how hard you try, you will never get rid of me." He stopped in the very middle of the two parties, his hand in his pockets. "And the humans, I'd suggest you stick to your world just as we tried to stick to ours. Go back now, this isn't something to concern yourselves with.""We'll see about that!" From the back, a girl walked forward, holding a sign in her hand. "Where I'm from protesting is done diffe
'Continue! Do it! They're distracted now, try again. I-I...I believe that you can do it! You hold control over all packs here, right? Call for reinforcement... Zillon's pack would be happy to help.''It's too far me to reach, Celia and you know it.'Celia hissed down at him. 'Look up, Xavier...we are losing...we must seem so vulnerable in their eyes...so many of us are down already. Do you hear that you f*cking idiot...? The gunshots are so loud, one shot is bringing our men down. There are so many of them and all of them are holding a gun. You better do something, you said you had a plan and you better use it."A breath that came out as a sigh breached the air from Xavier's lips, his eyes floating towards the crisis that laid on his land. Celia was right, his men were dying, if not by gunshot wounds, then they were being taken down the opposing wolves.It was bad, he knew it'd be...but this was far worst than he had anticipated. They were losing drastically, he kept hearing the guns
