Chapter Thirteen: A Sad Loss

Motus' mind was flooded with all kinds of emotions. Sadness, Anger, Fright, Bravery...he couldn't place where these came from. Then he realized where.

"Atzi..?" Motus said to himself. He could feel her she wolf's presecence. She had changed again and was in danger.

Well for a bit he could sense the danger. When it subsided, he swore her could here her voice reassuring him.

He blinked his icy blue eyes as he sat in the dark cell. His ears swiveled trying to strain to hear something. Anything that could tell him where she was or if she was even okay.

"Atzi...what happend?" he said softly. The door suddenly opens and a wolf that was snow white entered. It shifted into a tall slender female with white hair.

"Look at you,... you could've had it easy. Give Damon what he wants and he'll spare you. I'll put in a good word for you...only if you agree to make me your queen.'

Motus growled and looked away.

"Beat it Seraphyna. You know i'll never take you. All your attempts failed every year, so just stop."

"Pity, an alliance would have been better then a full takeover. At least then you'd have your territory. Damon will destroy it otherwise."

Seraphyna said to Motus.

"By the way.. I heard that a beta found your precious human. Tore her to shreds from the look of his muzzle. HAHAHA"

With that she left Motus to ponder wildly in his head. He shook his head in disbelief.

"No..i..it can't be true..i swore i just heard her.."

Motus whined at the thought of Atzi being killed. He started tearing up and tried to hold them back but couldn't.

The doors opened again and two Guards came to Motus' cell. They entered and put a muzzle on Motus, but not after he put up a fight. He bite one guard's hand and he struck down on Motus' head.

The Guards drug Motus up to a large open field like arena that was behind Damon's castle. Damon stood on opposite side with a smug grin.

Beside him was a wolf with a blood stained snout.

"He...that's who killed...Atzi.." Motus thought to himself. He let a low snarl out as he glared.

Damon gestured to let Motus free but had archers trained on him. Motus stood growling angerly.

"Come now brother..no need to be angery...unless, there is a reason. We found you're precious human Luna. Well, shes no issue now..my beta here killed her."

The bloodied wolf beside him whined a bit anxiously beside Damon as he spoke. It look nervous and scared. It seemed...off from the normal insane that most of the Guards here have.

"How about a deal? If you can kill this beta...you can go free and keep your territory and curse free. But if you can't, then you forfeit your title as Alpha and your pack over to me and you remain a cursed forever."

Motus looked at them. His eyes filled with revenge and hatred. He nod reluctantly.

With that the beta was forced out and they cleared the arena to watch the fight.

"Begin!!"
