Alpha Luna

chapter 2

I wait for about half an hour before I peek out to see if the coast is clear. All I see is a deer looking back me as it laps up water from the river. It's eyes are big and full of fear. The scent of it was over powering. My wolf howled with pleasure of knowing that around here she is top of the food chain.

As I move out of my hiding spot the deer runs off into the woods. It's white tail disappearing into the darkness. Much like my family.

I quickly get out of the water and check my bag to make sure that my stuff is still dry like it should be. I let out a sigh of relief when I found everything dry. "Good the only thing I have to dry it my lower half nothing else." I mumble to myself.

I hike to the edge of their territory again before I dare to stop. I have an idea when the patrols will be coming by so I crouch down wind of the patrol route and wait for them to pass me by.

As I sit here I can't help, but think about what got me here in the first place. My pack was attack by a rival pack. At first everything was fine, my pack was holding their own. But that all changed when the alpha grabbed the Luna, my mother. At that point my brothers and I stop mid fight to rush to help my mother.

Our father had died about a year before this all happened. The only reason why mom still had the title as Luna is because Zac has yet to find his mate.

The Alpha threw our mother to one of his pack mates and readys himself for our attack. Zac, Ethan, and I all attack at once. Teeth bared and claws out, but something happens. All of a sudden the three of us all felt the most unbelievable pain we have over felt. When I hit the ground I roll my head from side to side trying to see what is happening to me. I see a woman standing by herself chanting. Her eyes are locked on us.

The Alpha starts to laugh, "Don't be so surprised. You had to know that this was coming. Your father issued this when he attacked my pack and took our land."

"My father did no such thing!" I yell. "You stole our land and we simply took it back."

"A mear technicality." He crouches down. I can smell the beer and cigarette smoke on his breath. "Tell me how is that you are still able to talk when your older brothers can't even focus long enough to let out a scream, Kate? Perhaps you are suppose to be the alpha rather than Zac here."

My eyes wonder to Zac. He and Ethan are both currled up in total pain. Their eyes are closed tightly and their months are open in a silent scream. In reality, I faught both my brothers and won, but I couldn't be the alpha because I could never be able to produce a heir. So the position want to Zac by default.

The Alpha laughs, "Oh, well, I guess we will never find out." He nods to the wolf standing to his right. The black wolf throughs back its head and howls. Causing everyone to freeze and stop their fighting. Gasps of realization sound off from different points in the group.

With a smile the Alpha begins to talk, "We have gathered you all here today for you to witness the beginning of a new leadership in your pack. Today I challenge Zac O'Neal to a fight for rank over the Moonlight pack. When I win today your pack will merg with mine to form a super pack." He turns to Zac, who has stop withering in pain. "What do you say Zac? Do you accept?"

He stands and nods. The two alphas grab forearm and shake before that break apart into their fighting stances. The Alpha did the first move. He does a side kick that was suppose to land on Zac's gut, but at the last possible second Zac grabs his foot and twists thus flipping Conner in mid air. Zac drops his foot and leans in to pin Conner down only to have Conner kick out his feet hitting Zac square in the knee knocking him off balance. Conner used this time to flip him and pin him to ground. I watched as he took his claws and ripped my brothers thoat out.

Our mother let's out a loud scream of pain as she looks down at her oldest son.it is cut short when the man holding her twisted her neck. They do the same to Ethan. By the time that set their sights on me all I could see is red. Conner couches down a knife in hand. "Don't think that I have forgotten about you. Don't be so angry you will be with your family soon, but first I'm going to make sure everyone knows what happens to those that take something from me."

I start to laugh, "One way or another I will get my revenge. Either in this life time or the next you will pay for the lives you have took." I then spit in him face.

Conner whips the spot off his face. His eyes are now glowing yellow as his wolf takes over. He takes the knife and shoved it in my stomach. "I was going to make this painless, but now you no longer deserve that way of dying." He then whispers in my ear, "Say hello to your father for me. It's been so long since I have seen such a strong wolf die by my hands."
