The High King

Chapter 8

Unknown POV

Growing up, I was taught only one thing.

"Never stop fighting "

That slowly became my mantra as the years went by.

It'd been exactly 18 years since the attack. 18 years since I last saw my parents as they were torn apart by rogues.

18 years since I last saw my brother as he wailed in the basket, also feeling the bond to our parents break.

5 years old me stood there, lost and broken with the last thing I saw being the woman who took my brother and ran to another man,who looked at the chaos before him with satisfaction.

I've mourned them since then, and as I do every year,I travel to no man's land and kill any rogue in sight.

This year however, it was going to be different. About five months ago,I felt something within me awaken.

Like a part of me came to life,and the bond which I thought was broken with my brother, thrummed with energy like never before.

Thus explaining the reason why I was standing away from a huge mansion in a very isolated area, guarded by powerful magic.

"You know,you could be walking right into a trap dickhead",my beast said as it rolled it's Amber eyes.

I've had him with me since I was 17 and even though it's been nice having him around, he's sometimes annoying.

Truth be told, he wished he were the human and I were him but poor fool hadn't been granted his wish.

"Just shut up Axel",I said,right before I blocked him.

I watched with anticipation, as five black SUV'S left the mansion.

But one stood out the most, as it let out a very powerful aura. This was the one that got the bond thrumming once again.

This was the one that got me on my knees.

This was the one with my little brother inside .

Varian's POV
An hour earlier...

"How long is our stay over there going to be?", i asked Lucian as i barged into his office.

I still couldn't shake the thought of seeing them again from my mind. Those bastards who hated me for no reason. The years of torture i had to endure in their hands.

I had no intention of going there again but well, what can i say?

My duty comes first.

"5 months should be enough to gather intel i think, don't worry though, I'll be sending in extra support l", he said sipping blood from the glass in his hand.

Sitting in front of me, he looked like he was in his twenties but then we all knew that looks could be deceiving.

He was over a 1000 years.

" Listen Varian, something is just not right with the imperial pack. Don't let your guard down while you're there. Oh and just so your old mate won't be able to try anything, Emma will be tagging along on this mission.", he said knowing that we both couldn't stand each other.

I just gave him a nod and left his office heading outside where the rest where waiting.

" Do you feel that? ", Aries said, finally back from his sleep.

" Feel what? ", i asked not knowing what he was talking about.

"Forget it, I'm sure I'm imagining stuff", he said before he went back to sleep.

For 5 months this has been my home, these people have become my family.
I can't believe I'm leaving all these behind to go and help the pack responsible for abusing me as a child.

Funny world huh!

"What kept you so long, we have a long journey ahead of us", Silas said obviously annoyed by the fact that i took so long in getting here.

"Sorry, had to make sure everything was in check for our journey. We'll be going away for 5 months though. We won't be seeing Alice anytime soon", i reply before entering the Black SUV parked in front of the Mansion.

No sooner had we left the mansion than i felt a powerful aura around the territory. An aura almost as powerful as mine but this aura felt deadly.

"That's what i felt earlier", Aries said as he stood on full alert.

The strange thing was that we didn't feel threatened by this new presence. In fact, it felt like it was welcoming us.

Snapping out of it, i looked around me to see 4 SUVs around us. Two in front, two behind.

Seems like this was the extra support Lucian was talking about.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

We were on the road for 3 days, stopping only when we had to use the bathroom or eat.

Finally we were on a road leading deeper into the Northern forest. The road leading to the imperial pack, the pack i hate the most in this world.

We could hear paws thudding on the forest floor. The guards were probably tailing the car.

Shortly after,a huge grey wolf appeared in front of the car growling at us. Clearly telling us that we were trespassing.

" We're here to see the Alpha, tell him that the people he requested help from have arrived.", Silas said in a very dominant tone showing that he had the blood of an alpha.

The wolfs eyes seemed to glaze over and before he stood aside gesturing for us to go ahead.

We passed the streets of the pack and i could still see that it hadn't really changed that much.

Taking a left a turn, we appeared before the pack house. The house where the Alpha lived with other high ranking members.

Seemed like we were being expected as the whole pack was in front of the pack house, waiting to welcome us.

Today i was going to face them again

"Aries please don't try anything", i said to my creature before blocking him out.

Let the game begin....

I'm back guys, it's been a year and I'm so sorry for the hold up. Anyways hope you enjoy this chapter.
