Chapter 6: Axel

Axel’s POV.

“Alpha, I think we should attack tomorrow when all their alpha's are together and finish them off,” my beta's voice sounded.

“No, I feel uneasy. I'd go out on a walk and we'd check out how to get into the pack house,” my voice sounded as I stood up and walked out through the door, as my beta, jace followed behind me.

The night was dark and quiet in the territory of the Moon launch Pack. As the fierce and dominant lycan alpha, I prowled through the dense forest, by my guards, and jace. 

"Alpha, everything seems calm tonight," one of the guards reported, breaking the silence of the night.

I scanned the area with my black eyes and nodded in acknowledgment. "Stay vigilant. We have an attack to launch," I replied firmly. Deep down, I longed to rest, but I had to get rid of all the corrupt alpha's and I was going to do just that, I had to uphold my duties.

 I was known as the most feared alpha, although I didn't see anything scary about myself compared to Peter, my best friend, but I could kill with just a blink.

Just then, the most beautiful smell hit me— rain and earth. I couldn't ignore it. My wolf kept yelping at the back of my head, recognizing it as the scent of our mate. I followed the smell.

"Mate! Mate!" My wolf kept urging me.

It led me to the middle of the forest, walking casually wasn't my thing, I only did that when I was with Peter, else I'm always in a battle. We were practically twins from different mothers, the only difference being that I was stronger and calmer, while he was more aggressive and quick to anger.

As I walked following the scent, My eyes fell upon the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. 

She was wearing a strapless red gown that accentuated her curves in all the right places. 

The deep shade of emerald green eyes shimmered in the light, illuminating her smooth skin. With each movement, her hips swayed sensually, causing me to want to walk to her and claim her immediately.

She stopped, her eyes tightly closed like she was trying to shift. What was she doing? Was it her first time? What about her alpha? Weren't her pack members supposed to see her shift… I frowned at the thought that my mate was not being treated right.

I watched her as she shifted in pain. I wanted to go to her to show her that I was there with her but I also didn't want to scare her off.

I was surprised she shifted to a white wolf, Sigil was emblazoned on her wolf's forehead,with crescent moons and stars… It was a symbol that could only be given powerful Luna's by the moon goddess.

The question is why would the moon goddess mate me to a powerful Luna? They always brought disaster and could be used for pure evil.

I had a deal with the moon goddess to get rid of them when they got out of control so why would she give me a mate she'd want me to kill?

“You looked beautiful just now,” I couldn't stop myself. The pull was something I never thought could control me so easily.

On hearing my voice she turned to see who it was.

“Who are you?” She shivered as she asked.

Was she scared of me?

“You don't feel anything?” I asked, my brows raised, as I frowned.

Didn't she feel the mate bound too?

“Are you from this pack?” He asked,

“Well, I didn't expect such a twist, my mat…” she didn't even wait to hear me she ran off.

”gosh!”

“Prepare for the attack tomorrow, no harm should come to my mate!” We went back to our camp as everyone started preparing for the attack.

In no time we were ready to match down our enemies, but my mind didn't go off my mate's beautiful face.

The moon was full, casting a silver glow over the forest as I, the alpha king, faced off against my enemy, “attack!” With that we launched into the pack breaking down everything that came in our way.

A snarling wolf with a scar, launched at jace. My eyes gleamed with a fierce intensity as I positioned myself in front of Jace, who stood frozen.

The wolf’s fur matted and twisted, sneering at me. "You think you can protect him? I'll rip him apart and make you watch!" He taunted.

I didn't know how they could still be arrogant at that point.

With a fierce growl, I launched myself at the scared wolf’s claws extended. Our wolves clashed, our bodies locked in a flurry of fur and fangs. 

My priority was to keep Jace safe, and I fought with precision and skill, dodging the scar wolf's attacks and striking back with powerful blows.

He must be one of the alpha's I heard came to help the pack but I really wanted to have fun with him.

My instincts took over, and I fully transformed into my wolf’s form, showing off my body growing larger and more powerful. We exchanged blows, my roar echoing through the forest.

Despite the scared wolf's ferocity, I held my ground, my eyes fixed on Jace, who watched in awe as I protected him. My movements were swift and deadly, my claws slicing through Scar's defenses.

Finally, with a crushing blow, I sent Scar crashing to the ground, defeated. As the dust settled, I stood victorious, his chest heaving with exhaustion.

I turned to Jace and nudged him gently with his snout, checking for injuries.

Jace smiled weakly and nodded, his eyes shining with gratitude. "Thanks, Axel. I owe you one, again," I smiled back, my tail wagging softly.

 "Anytime, beta. That's what alphas do,” gosh, did I have to say that last part? Either way I had no time to waste, meeting my mate was more important to me.
