The Legend of the Alpha

1

A bald man stood alone in a clearing somewhere in the Salmon Challis National forest in Idaho. He wore an expensive suit which seemed dull and a little dirty. It was night time and the weather was cold but it seemed not to bother him,  it was as if he seemed to revel in the the temperature.

His dull dark eyes showed that he was blind , however,  that did not stop him form looking at the full moon.

The was rustling nearby and a dark skinned man appeared out of the bushes. He wore a leather jacket to help conserve warmth ,  he had black , dirty hair and he had a scar across his face. Three slash marks in which he got when he became an alpha long ago, he also  had a small goatee " Did I not tell you to leave me alone tonight. Do you wish die ,  Alex King,  ?" , he asked. He had an   almost Irish accent.
 
Said man took a step back before finding his nerves , " I'm sorry sir,  but,  a banshee wishes to speak with you. "

At that , the man turned around to look at him,  even though  he could not see,  "  A banshee you say,  " he frowned and was quite for a moment,  " Very well,  take me to her,  " Alex nodded.

He led the man through the forest,  manoeuvering through the trees easily. Surprisingly,   the bald man could walk around easily without hitting any tree even though he was blind.

After a few minutes of walking,  they came upon a clearing. Alex king stopped,  " She wishes to speak with you and you alone sir,  " the bald man nodded,  making a  'leave ' motion with his hand,  dismissing the dark skinned man.

He then proceeded to move to the center of the clearing where he resumed looking at the moon. The was rustling around him,  and once again,  men appeared,  one after the other until in total,  there were six of them.

The bald man, seemed to not have noticed them like he had noticed Alex when he had first appeared and continued to look at the moon.  The men who had come out of the forest looked strange. They had faces that resembled wolves more than men,  teeth that looked like fangs and nails that were as long as claws.

They looked at each other in confusion before one of the men or,  in this case werewolves took  a step forward and the bald man's head snapped towards him. " You seem to be oblivious. Have you not heard the rumours,  the whispers in the dark ?  if you have,  why do you confront me,  " he asked before shaking his head. " It doesn't matter any way,  I gave you a chance to leave but you squandered it. Now,  let me show you why I. Am. The.  Most. Feared Alpha in the world. "

And with that said,  his once dull black eyes turned into a bright red colour, signifying his status as an alpha. His  glowing eyes however were deeper than the eyes of a normal alpha.

His teeth elongated into fangs and his nails turned into claws,  however,  he did not inherit any wolf like features apart from that , which goes to show that he had not completely shifted.

One of the werewolves took a step forward. " How dare you insult us in such a way by performing a half shift,  " he said as his eyes glowed red. " As this packs alpha,  I shall show you your place. "

The bald man nodded, as he spread his hands " Seems fair enough,  now,  come at me,  " and that is  exactly what he did. The werewolf was fair in complexion,  without a single blemish or scar on his face,  arms and legs. He wore a long sleeved shirt and he had a well trimmed beard.

The werewolf crossed the distance between them in seconds,  as he drew closer,  the bald man suddenly charged and grabbed him by the neck,  raising him and them slamming him,  hard, into the cold unyielding floor.

A sickening crack sound was heard and the werewolves flinched as the bald man straighted and slammed his foot into the fallen werewolves chest,  causing the sound.

" I commend your courage for facing me,  but,  I'm afraid that,  you're not strong enough to even give me a run for my money. "

He reached down to grab the werewolf and pulled him to his feet. Blood flew everywhere as his chest was slashed,  " I gave you a chance to leave,  " slash,  slash,  "  You should have taken it " ,  slash,  slash,  slash , " And now,  you die. "

And with that,  he was given an uppercut by the bald man,  causing him to fly six feet away. He landed on the ground with a sickening crunch. " Max  , " a light skinned blonde haired werewolf called.

" O don't worry,  you'll be joining him soon enough ,  " he said as he grabbed the alpha again and plunged his claws deep into his stomach, causing the alpha to gasp. His eyes began to dull as the bald man plunged his hand in deeper , his eyes starting to glowing brighter.

Soon it was over as the man's eyes dulled completely as his hands became limp. The bald man tossed his body away before turning to the other werewolves. " Now,  who's next,  " all the werewolves cried out in frustration at the death of their alpha and charged the bald man all at once.

The first werewolf to meet him was the one who had called out their alphas name as he died.  The fair skinned man  made to slash the bald man who ducked and grabbed his shirt,  throwing him across the clearing,  all with in the span of a few seconds.

Next,  he caught and  twisted the fist of two werewolves , one fair and the other tanned , who thought that they could gang up and subdue him , before smashing them against each other.

The remaining two backed off. The bald man looked at them with his glowing red eyes. As if hypnotised,  they stared at it,  unable to move until  hands were plunged into their stomach,  causing them to die like their alpha.

Their eyes glowed a bright yellow before they also died out. The bald man's eyes were closed as he let their bodies fall to the ground.

He suddenly ducked to  avoid the kick of one of fair skinned werewolf whom he had thrown across the clearing.  Throwing his legs out to knock him off balance,  the bald man stood and plunged his hand into his chest.

" You'll meet your alpha sooner than you'll think,  " and just like that,  he was gone. Clapping was heard as the corpse was dropped to the ground.

" So,  the rumours are true,  you only fight half shifted " The bald man tilted his head to the side slightly. " My guess is that you're the banshee ," he said as he pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped his hands as an old woman appeared out of the forest. She wore a veil and her gray hair was a mess , also,  she was dressed in a long robe.

" I am,  sorry about this whole mess,  I hired those werewolves to help me gauge your power,  to see if you are ready for the troubles ahead. " " And,  " the bald man asked.

The old woman shook her head,  " Sadly,  you are strong,  but you're not yet strong enough to face a legendary alpha. " The bald man's eyes widened. 

He rushed towards her,  " Tell me everything you know woman,  " he shouted at her. She shook her head,  " I'm sorry Dominic,  but,  you and your pack will be defeated. "

She placed her hands against his head and visions flashed through his mind. Domino,  growled out in frustration and lashed at the thing closest to him,  accidentally plunging his hands into the banshees chest,  effectively killing her.

He sighed as he walked away,  wiping the new blood away from his hand. " Tyler Jones,  I'm coming for you. "
