The Rouge Queen

14.Challenging The Queen: The Final Challenge💫

'My heart has no room for you, but the trunk of my car definately does.'-Fuckology

The final match between the Alphas for the title of the ruler of the werewolf was about to get underway. It was against Alpha Hunter and Alpha Queen Aspen couldn't wait to get her revenge on the disrespecting son-of-a-bitch.

It was a pity he wasn't going to face Esme, and that was for the best. She was so tense that it wasn't even funny. That little sex tease from her mate did little to quell her need for him.

Esme just wanted this match to be over as soon as possible. She had to find a solution to her mate's problem. Esme needed him here with her as much as Aspen did. After she was finished with the challenge she was going to find Rhys and finish taking out all her frustrations on him. She walked into the dining hall and collected her breakfast.

"We can all smell him on you."

Alpha Hunter said as Alpha Queen Aspen stuffed her mouth with a baguette.

"And?"

Alpha Aspen asked as she continued to collect and eat her food.

"A fucking rogue."

Alpha Hunter yelled as Alpha Queen Aspen tried her best to ignore him. But she knew the exact words to rile him up even further.

"You better be careful how you speak about my mate, your future king."

Alpha Queen Aspen said as Alpha Hunter marched up to her and yelled.

"I would rather die than let a fucking rogue become King over me."

Alpha Hunter said as Alpha Queen Aspen smiled.

"That can easily be arranged. "

Alpha Queen Aspen said as she got up and walked outside.

"Well, what are you waiting for Alpha Hunter, ready to get your ass kicked?"

Alpha Queen Aspen teased as walked up to the platform where the matches were being held. She wasn't afraid of him and she was sure she could beat him...face down. The referee for the match came up and yelled.

"We need a fair fight, no weapons, hand-to-hand combat only. The match is between Alpha Queen Aspen and Alpha Hunter, begin."

The referee yelled as Alpha Hunter charged at her. He started to lunge after her but Alpha Queen Aspen just side-stepped to the left and he went flying to the right, right out of the ring. Alpha Queen Aspen laughed as she watched him struggle to get to his feet.

"Is that the best you can do?"

Alpha Queen Aspen mocked as she laughed and turned her back to him. Alpha Queen Aspen noticed the piercing eyes of her mate's wolf watching her from nearby bushes, 'This wolf was going to get himself killed.'

Still, it was amazing how often this wolf was able to sneak in and out of her territory. And she guess the only reasons she was able to know that he was there was because one, he was her mate, and two because he allowed her to. 'She needed to tighten up border control' She thought as she turned back to face Alpha Hunter, only to find he had a knife in his hand and plunged it into her stomach.

"Die bitch."

Alpha Hunter yelled as a roar was heard coming from the forest. She knew that sound anywhere. That was her mate and lover. If only she wasn't always so afraid of what everyone else thought, she would have had Rhys and Atticus claimed as her mate officially. Instead, here she was, about to die from a knife to the gut, oh the irony...

...Atticus was contented to let his mate have out her battle with Alpha Hunter. His mate was capable and amazing, and the way she defended and attacked naturally was a beauty to behold. He was content to sit back and let her lead. But then he saw that bastard, Alpha Hunter brandish a knife, and that was when all logically thought left his brain. He rushed out of the forest and towards the clearing where his mate was. His wolf walked over to her and checked to see if she was alive...which she was.

"Rou..."

Alpha Hunter started to shout as Rhys jumped, shifted mid-air, and tore him limb from limb. His hands, feet, and face were a tattered mess within seconds. Atticus shifted and rushed towards Aspen. He gathered her into his arms. Thankfully, she was still breathing.

"Where the fuck is the infirmary?"

Rhys demanded as everyone was too afraid, and in awe to even speak.

"If my fucking mate dies because you assholes are too shocked to tell me where the infirmary is, I will lay waste to this land and coat myself in your blood."

Rhys warned as a man quickly spoke up.

"It's to your right, three doors down."

He said as Rhys turned away and ran in that direction. He couldn't get there fast enough. She couldn't die, his mate couldn't die. He had just found her.

***

A month passed Alpha Aspen lay in bed. Her pack members were so used to Rhys being by her bedside, that they knew there was nowhere else he could be. After he addressed her pack and explained to them that he was her mate and that he couldn't live without her, because he had fallen in love with her, all the pack members from both packs thought it would be wise to merge the packs. Now they had over 15000 wolves under their joint domain. Rhys was at Aspen's bedside (where he has been since the incident), with her fingers between his lips.

"Wake up baby, I can't lose you. I love you, Aspen Knight."

Rhys said as he watched as Aspen's eyes fluttered open.

"R...h...y...s"

Aspen muttered, but her throat was so dry after being in a coma for so long.

"Baby, you're awake. I love you so much."

Rhys said as his eyes darted to Rhys. He gave her a glass of water from a pitcher that was at her bedside.

"Oh my God, you are here. I don't want anyone to hurt you."

Alpha Aspen said as Rhys chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

Alpha Aspen asked as Rhys laughed.

"I never left your side, Aspen. You have been in a coma for a month. They all know I'm your mate. I nearly took off your Beta's head for suggesting I leave. I petition the elders and both packs have merged under your leadership of course. I think I'm the first male Alpha mate in history. "

Rhys said as Alpha Aspen laughed.

"So my queen, I need 20 days to make you fall in love with me. You have to do whatever I plan for the day. I will make you fall for me my queen, the way I have fallen for you."
