Blood (Book Three of the Dark Lycans Series)

Chapter One: Trouble

"Who do you wish to fight?" I ask the rogue in front of me. He points into the crowd, and I see Shade. She looks around to see who he is pointing at, but I want her to fight.

"Shade, come down please!" I call. She gives me a surprised look before shrugging and jumping down into the arena.

I announce the rules and blow the whistle. The rogue immediately lunges at Shade, and she ducks, landing a kick on his side.

They were pushed away from each other, and the rogue gasps for breath. Shade quickly shoots forward and kicks his head. He falls to the ground, knocked out cold.

Shade turns to me with a smirk, and I nod with a smile. Yelling sounds from my pack, about how it was unfair.

They yell that Shade should not have been able to fight, because she is not part of the pack. I turn and growl loudly at them.

They whimper and back off. I look back to see Shade walking out of the training center. My pack starts yelling at me again.

"Alpha why is she here? She isn't even apart of the pack!" Someone yells. I storm out of the arena and up to the viewing area.

"Who just said that?" I demand. The man comes forward and I recognize him as Adam. He was in his early twenties, and didn't know when to keep his mouth shut.

"Do you really believe she should not be here?" I ask him.

"Yes, she is not part of the pack," he says.

"So the only reason you are allowed to be here is because you are part of the pack, right?" I ask him, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Well, yeah I guess," he shrugs.

"And who decides whether you are in the pack or not?" I ask. He looks around confused, before looking back at me.

"You do," he says unsure.

"That's right, and I will not have a pack full of whining pussies! So shut the fuck up before I slit your throats!" I snarl, extremely pissed off, my eyes burning red.

His eyes widen in fear and he shows his neck to me.

"Forgive me Alpha," he whimpers. I shake my head, and show a disappointed face.

"No, I will not forgive you. You have shown disrespect to me more than once now, and you will endure a punishment of my choice. Anyone else want to join him?" I ask the rest with a glare. They all immediately shake their heads and sumbit.

"That's what I thought, now you are staying in a silver cell until I decide on your punishment," I spit. He looks up with wide eyes and begins to protest.

I grab him by the throat and lift him off the ground.

"You better accept my orders without question, or you become my new punching bag. Do you remember what happened to Scott?" I ask with narrowed eyes.

"Yes Alpha, I remember. I understand," he gasps, clutching at his throat. I drop him to the ground, and motion for two warriors to take him to the cell.

Scott was the name of a Lycan who repeatedly disrespected me. I ended up beating him to death as an example to the others.

Lycans were stronger than norm wolves, both physically and mentally. They are very stubborn and difficult to control, so I had to be harsh or this pack would not work.

The rest of the wolves quickly dispersed, and left my sight.

There was another attack, we found two of Blake's wolves at the border. One had his chest torn open, and the other was knocked out. We put him in prison, Luke suddenly mindlinks me.
