Withered Love

Alpha Command

Drake's gaze locked with the female's, as I understood for a fact that she had told her son not to trust my mate. That alone infuriates me to the point of madness! As my eyes locked with hers, a vicious growl tore through my lips as my Lycan roared, demanding she learn her place in this very moment. Regardless of whether she was disrespected or abused by the past Alpha, she would never be mistreated again.

"I understand you may have been mistreated by the past Alpha, but you will NEVER disrespect my mate! He is now your new Alpha, and you shall show him the respect he deserves...if he wishes his brother to learn from him then that is an Order!" I growled out viciously.

She looked at him with a scowl on her face her dark brown eyes squinting at me as if she was trying to look intimidating or trying to figure me out...which I am not sure of yet. Regardless all of these she-wolves will learn I am their Luna now! Yes, his mother is still Luna, but not the acting one any longer.

"If you have an issue with how I am doing something you may say something respectfully, but I will warn you now...if you ever speak to me disrespectfully or our mate there will be consequences!" Drake growled low as his eyes locked with the she-wolf.

Respect is something he takes very seriously. After leaving home, he joined my pack as a warrior who revered my father as his Alpha. He knows what it takes to show respect, so if he can do it, they sure can. While my gaze passed over the mass of wolves before us, I stepped forward to stand closer to Drake as Kade flanked me. How would they react to Drake as their Alpha? Because of their current stance and rage and hatred written across many faces in the crowd, I honestly wondered.

What makes you think you are going to subdue our Alpha and take over? An enormous werewolf with short brown hair tight to his scalp, wearing a black outfit shouted at us.

"I am his firstborn! I am taking over the role of Alpha to restore this pack's rightful place! He was harming this pack and now I will right it once more! She-wolves will no longer be forced to breed, harmed, or treated as lowly creatures. They are anything but meek. They are powerful, fierce, and strong, yet most people underestimate them! No longer will they be denigrated by the werewolf you once called Alpha.""" Drake called out.

Several male werewolves stepped forward pushing some females off to the side like they were nothing but trash in their way. A vicious growl ripped from my lips at the males who would dishonor a female let alone another pack member.

"You will not repress the she-wolves, nor will you manhandle them!" I growled viciously, feeling my Lycan coming forward.

I stepped forward as my Lycan surged with rage at the image of this male forcefully pushing a female which crashed to the floor in a heap wrapping her arms around herself in defense of the uncalled-for attack. Drake reached out to grab my arm, but it was far too late! I shifted mid-air and landed in front of the werewolves who would challenge my mates' words regarding she-wolves. Fear evident in their faces as I now stood before them reaching over six feet six, a massive Lycan she-wolf who will not accept any disrespect!

"The reign of the past Alpha ends now! You will comply and respect the she-wolves of this pack, or I shall be the one to show how your life is nothing but a flicker in time while I END IT! I will not have any being treated as mere things to abuse.... They are females and deserve respect for who they are! I DEMAND IT!" I growled viciously in their faces.

Their pigment now drained as pale white werewolf males stood in horror of the true beast I can become. Without noticing because my attention was directed on the male wolves in the room the females had begun stepping behind me in an aggressive fashion as if they were finally ready to stand up for themselves. I felt a surge of pride was over me realizing they just needed a strong figure to stand up for them! I am it! The males growled low at me as one forcefully pushed his way in between the werewolves before me. As he stepped in front of me, he wore a malevolent expression as he thought he would stand against me. I grinned wickedly as this werewolf thought he would stand against a Lycan.

My Lycan surged with adrenaline in hopes we might have a fight...she felt stifled and begged for a good fight.

"You're nothing more than a stupid female whose only worth is as a breeder...how pathetic! Who filled your mind telling you that you were anything more than an outlet for males' pleasure and for the purpose of reproduction?" He sneered out at me.

Oh, bad move! I thought and as soon as I did my mates had jumped from the tall wooden stage landing beside me in their Lycan forms, ready to protect me and well to be honest rip this asshole apart for even speaking those words. 

The werewolf took an aggressive stance against my mates as I grinned wildly knowing this werewolf would be most likely for the first time be taught manners to say the least. He took a threatening stance to me which is stupid first off, and secondly, did it while my overprotective mates were standing mere feet from me. I felt one of the she-wolves touch the back of my arm as if to ask if they were safe. I peered back now that my mates had held the werewolf's attention completely.

"Yes?" I questioned the fear filled face of a she-wolf.

"Are you really going to stop them from forcing us to breed with them?" She whispered out as her voice trembled.

A sea eyes of the she-wolves locked with my own in a pleading fashion, pain and sadness filling their eyes, It looked as if they were all but dead inside from the years of abuse which enraged me further! I felt rage surge through me at the sheer terror these females felt. Perhaps they should be taken from this pack and moved to my pack where they will never be mistreated again!

"These werewolves will treat you right or I personally shall offer you a new home with my pack where you will never be used as breeders or forced to do anything. My father is currently the Alpha and is an amazing man...he would protect all of you with his own life before allowing another to harm you!" I informed them.

Their eyes seemed to now hold shock and surprise at my words. Most likely they never thought someone would do something to help them or offer them a safe haven. Now their lives will have meaning and they shall begin on a new path even if it kills me to accomplish it. My attention now going back to my mates as I noticed the stupid werewolf growling at my mates as I shook my head knowing he must be missing some brain cells if he dares challenge them.

"She-wolves are nothing outside of for us to use and breed with! Who do you think you are to come in here and dictate your new idealization on us? The werewolf growled viciously.

Several other werewolves stood to his back seeming to ready themselves for a fight. I grinned knowing if they continued their posturing I would rip them apart without regret. 

I stepped forward in between my mates and the werewolves who had a perception which did not bode well for this pack, and I will no longer hear his trash he is spewing.

"You despise females so much then I shall make this very simple for all of you males who seem to be simple minded and view us as property to be abused by you! The females will be taken from this pack and given a true home far from all of you! Then you have no concerns about she-wolves for you shall have NONE!" I growled out viciously at them.

The male with short hair stepped forward as rage filled his face, eyes locking with mine as fury swirled in his eyes...he was on the verge of shifting but I will cut him down quicker than he will be able to finish his shift. He growled as he pulled his clawed hand back, swiftly swiping it forward intending on striking me...wrong move. I threw my hand outwards striking him in his diaphragm intending to knock all of the air from his lungs. As my hand struck, a loud exhale came from the werewolf, his claws coming short of striking me. As many other werewolves stepped forward growling...oh its play time!

 I thought as vicious growls filled the hall.
