Maxwell's point of view

^^^^^^3 hrs prior to battle^^^^^^

"Make sure the army is ready," I say as we prepare to finally wipe out the Midnight Crescent Pack.

This pack isn't even considered a real pack. Their werewolf leader has been kidnapping and enslaving creatures to use as slaves. My second Kathryn, tells me we are ready.

time skip---------------------------------------------

As we approach I can see the Alpha hitting someone. They lay on the ground curled in a protective ball. His son watches with a smirk. Looks like we have to take out the son too. Such potential gone to waste. I catch the scent of cherry trees and fresh rain.

I close my eyes and try to memorize the smell. I hear him order someone to their room. I see him look at me and beckon me to his office. I tell my second to round everyone up and kill those who don't surrender. She nods and sets to work while I go to his office.

I close the door and pull out a silver dagger. My eyes blaze red and he pulls his son behind him as I open my mouth to speak.

The door bursts open and he looks to the door, slight hope in his eyes.

"Kill him," he orders the person as their cherry tree and rain scent fills my nose.

I hear chain unravel and hit the wood. The look of hope on the Alpha's face turns to fear as he takes a small step back as he holds his son behind him in a protective manner. I hear a deep growl behind me shivers run down my spine. I hear the Alpha's son whimper in fear. I move away from the sound.

I hear the sound of the chains move and out of the corner of my eye I see the chains fly forward and wrap around the Alpha's throat. The holder of the chain yanks him forward. His eyes widen in fear as the man moves closer to him.

"Stand down," he tries to command the man.

I see the mans face turn into a grin. He yanks down on the chain and I hear a crack of his neck. The son screams. I see a flash of red and the son's eyes widen in horror as he coughs, choking on his own blood. He falls to his knees and his body thumps to the ground.

He watches them for a moment before turning to look at me. I feel shock as I realize he is my mate. His redish orange eyes shine in the dim light like flickering flames. I feel pride at the fact that he just killed an Alpha and his son without batting an eye. He nods and walks past me as if nothing just happened. He pauses at the edge of the door as I follow him.

I hear a crunch and see a binding fall to the ground. I see one of my lesser men running after a small child. I told them to leave the women and children alone. He didn't listen. The same thing as earlier lashes out and wraps around his neck. I hear a crunch as his neck is snapped with ease. I whistle a high note signaling the death of the Alpha and his son.

My men transform back to their human sides. My mate walks away as I tell my warriors that the war is over. Cheers rise from my warriors and sounds of pain from the now roagues. I call out for my mate but he continues to walk away. He pauses and listens for a moment. I move closer to him, a deep growl echoes from his chest causing me to stop. My breath quickens as the sound of a snapping twig catches our attention. I see a long slinder rope slip out of his hand and he growls deeper than the one he gave me. I watch as a wolf jumps out of the woods. I dodge him as he tries to attack me. The wolf goes after my mate and I see his eyes are fire orange and he rolls to the side. I jump on him and wrap my arms around his sides and squeeze until I have crushed his ribs. It yelps in pain before I let it go. He hits the ground and remains motionless. I look at my mate, a small smirk lines his lips until pain slices across it. He flinches away and falls to his knees. His eyes turn silver as he looks at the woman behind him with a rage I have never seen before. He stands and faces her and she snaps a whip and eggs him on.

I growl in anger when I see the blood flowing down his back. I can hardly smell anything with the scent of blood so strong in the air. I see the woman shiver before my mate lunges at her. He catches her by the throat and holds her into the air. She tries to beg for her life but her eyes widen in horror before a snap echoes in the clearing. He opens his hand and she falls to the ground, motionless and lifeless. I look to see a knife sticking out of his chest. I see him move to take it out. He grabs the handle and pulls it out, letting blood flow freely down his side. He turns towards me, placing his hand over the wound. I see his eyes are back to the firey orange color. I start towards him and he growls at me. I can see the pain on his face, even if he hides it well. I see blood running through his fingers as he staggers a step. My second comes up to me and tells me that our wounded have been taken to get healed. His eyes flash silver as he growls at my second. She jumps away from me and I see his eyes roll into the back of his head. I rush forward and catch him before he hits the ground. I tell Kathryn to help me get him to the castle. We quickly get him there as I apply pressure to the wound. I quickly barge in and take him to the closest docter. He looks at me in horror as he sees the blood all over me.

"Get my mate help, NOW," I growl angerly at him.

He instantly starts to get nurses and other people to help him take my mate into the back. I sit and wait, and wait, and wait. Six hours have passed and I feel my nerves are on end. The docter comes out and looks at me.

"He is uncontious but stable," he says to me and leads me back to his room.

"His body has already started to repair itself at an allarming rate. He has several broken bones and bruises but with the rate he is healing he should be able to leave in a few days," he says opening the door.

I see my mate looking as if he is asleep laying in the hospital bed. They have cleaned the blood off of him.
