Freeing Starr✔️

Chapter 41 ~ Intercepted

Zion's POV

The air rustled with tension as many wolves approached the slope. Down below, you could faintly make out a large expanse of buildings in the distance.

"Everyone is familiar with what we have to do, right?" The question was broadcast to everyone by T'Niah who stood a foot behind me.

I remained silent, my eyes glued to the buildings as my heart raced with the anticipation of a new hunt. I felt antsy, like I wanted to sink my fangs into something and taste the blood that colored my tongue. Specifically, I wanted to taste her blood.

Starr.

She's the one who did this to me. My mind was still in slight disarray at having our mate bond forcibly removed. I couldn't think straight and had to depend on Ryan to help take care of the pack. Out of all the dominant Alphas that we had, he was the strongest, ironically.

He was also a nuisance. Knowing that he was related to Starr had my heart ready to burst in anger. It didn't help that he proudly waltzed around like this pack was fucking his. The only reason I hadn't sinked my fangs into his neck was because I needed him to help me deal with Starr.

The Alpha King.

According to our intel, the Alpha King came out to the public about finding his mate. Then three days ago, they had their mating ceremony and revealed Starr's name to everyone.

She left me for the fucking Alpha King. Did I not do enough? Was I not strong enough? Was this her plan all along?

I didn't care who she mated with. When I finally gain control of the kingdom and I sit on that throne, I'll watch her grovel at my feet with a chain wrapped around her neck. Treat her like the traitorous bitch she was. The thought sent a shiver of excitement rocking down my spine. No matter who you run to or where you go, Starr, I was going to get my revenge.

But I needed more power. To go up against a big kingdom like the Alpha Kingdom, I needed to increase my numbers. I had already accomplished my task of taking over all the smaller packs around the kingdom and now it was time for me to stretch my arms into the larger ones. I was confident that we'd be able to win.

"Remember, don't barge into their territory recklessly. We-"

A snort sounded, "we know what to do, mutt. Don't think you can control us."

A huff escaped Niah's muzzle as she turned her head away and cursed, "fine, go out there and do complete jackshit and get yourself killed. I don't give a fuck, just don't ruin Alpha Zion's plan."

"What plan? Don't think we don't know this was Alpha Ryan's idea. Alpha Zion's authority is getting we-"

I didn't waste a second as I quickly turned around and lunged at the man speaking, catching him by surprise as my mouth quickly closed around his neck and chomped down until a snap sound was heard. The scrawny wolf fell limp in my mouth and I dropped him, my tongue poking out to lick at the blood that got on my nose.

I then scanned my eyes across the crowd that stared in silence and asked, "anyone else has something to say?"

Complete silence.

My lips twisted as I snarled, "then shut the fuck up and do what I say. Target the women to weaken the males. I don't care what you do. Kill 'em, torture em, whatever just fucking take control of the pack."

"Yes Alpha!"

"Now let's go."

We immediately scattered, our paws kicking up dirt as we ran straight for the pack ahead of us.
