Ryker's P.O.V
"Position!" My dad howled, we were lined up, 20 or so good fighters in the front, then medium, then good again. I was lined up in the front with my dad. It was scary being up front, but if I showed weakness they would target me. I knew that Miah would try to help, she really needs to hold back though. It'll be even more important when we mate because she will be pregnant.
"Shift!" My dad's command brought me back to reality.
"Dad, the far right corner, the Alpha." This pack has attacked us before and they hide their alpha until last minute for a sneak attack. He sneaks around the back.
"He's yours, prove yourself!" He said as the battle took place. I was slammed to the ground seconds after it started. I got up and bolted, running wouldn't prove anything, but I need to watch their alpha.
"What the heck are you doing?! Get up there and fight!" My sister whinnied at me.
"I have the Alpha!" I howled, I ran to a rocky cave near the pack house. I could already see him sneaking to the back of our fighting lines. Then I saw the little pup behind him. She was from our pack! She was following him very sneakily, but it didn't last long, as she took one step closer, he jumped up and took her by the neck. She howled in pain as I ran over to his flank, I tore flesh from it and blood poured out of the wound. He had not let go of the pup yet, he started to shake her and soon he dropped her to the ground. I could've helped... I feel like an idiot!
"It ends here... I will avenge her, and the others that have fallen from my pack today!" Were my only words before I sunk my sharp teeth into his neck. He howled in pain and tried to break free. He only succeeded in making the pain worse, I tightened my grip and he fell to the floor with a whimper. I held on and shook a little as he had done with the pup. She was such a brave little girl, I didn't know her that well, but that's because they had just joined our pack.
The pack finally realized their alpha was dead and ran off, growling and whimpering.
"Nice job son!!" My father praised me, my gaze went straight to the limp pup in front of me. "Son?"
"Ryker?" My gaze stayed on the brown lump at my paws. How could he do this to a pup? You would think he had some what of a heart! But no... He had killed a pup, barely a year old.
"He killed her!!! He-he just shook her like a rabbit and killed her!"
"Son... Who?" I looked at him, why didn't he notice her? I put my paw on her flank, and howled. I heard two or three wolves join in, most likely her parents. Then they got closer and I felt wolves close to me, I opened my eyes to see three other paws rested on the flank of the pup.
"Leslie!! My baby girl!" I heard the woman howl with worry. The mother, I looked up and saw a father, and a big brother. I could've sworn that there was five in the family. Uh-oh, that means the other one was killed also.
"I'm so sorry, I tried to save her, I feel horrible! It was my fault!"
"Alpha?! No, this was not your fault, she ran away, from the nursery! This is not your fault."
"But..."
"Son! Go get some rest, and see your mate." My father's soothing voice boomed through the area where the battle took place. I glanced at all the wolves laying limply on the ground, others wounded. So many of them...
I walked to my bedroom, Cory and Tristan were still standing at the door.
"Did she try to leave?"
"Yes, many times, but she could not leave." Tristan said his eyes staring past me.
"Ahem! Look at me when you speak to me! I am your future Alpha!"
"Sorry... But Jack, he is walking towards us."
"Oh, this will be interesting." Cory muttered. He knows this won't end well. Jack and I have had a never ending argument. And it got worse when he was hitting on Miah.

"Ryker, I believe it is abuse to lock your mate in a room. I thought of this when I opened the window of your room, and let her go..."

So, I know, I haven't updated in a really long time, but I've been so busy with horses and stuff. So here it is! What do you think!? Jack sure is getting a little gutsy here don't you think?
