Alpha Female

Chapter 13

Pearls POV 

Our plans were all made yesterday, today we were preparing for battle. I walked around the packs checking for weakness in the other packs. They can all fight well enough I suppose but I may have to ask them to work in teams. I spotted Demon from down the line and the intensity of his gaze had me lightly blushing but I couldn't look away until Clara walked in front of me obscuring my vision. "Are you alright Pearl your face is all red?" Clara asked a concerned look on her face. "Yes I'm fine" I lied but she didn't look convinced. I smiled at her and then kept on my way inspecting all of the pack's warriors. I then went to check on the safe room preparation. Everything is stocked and all the pregnant she-wolves are getting situated and there are two pack doctors to stay with them as well as the pups and five fully trained and competent warriors. 

"Everything is ready its almost time to go, are you ready," Demon said as he placed a hand on my shoulder an action which sent an electric bolt of awareness through my body. I've always liked Demon but it seems that recently I've become more attracted to him and jealous over every other female that dares to talk or flirt with him. "Yes I'm ready, let's get going" I replied taking his hand from my shoulder and dragging him with me to where the packs were waiting. When we arrived nearly everyone has shifted apart from Rex it seems like he wants to give the battle speech.

"Now ladies and gentlemen, werewolves of all ages today we fight. We fight for our families, our packs and most importantly our way of life. Not all of us will come out of this battle unharmed but I can say with great confidence that none of us will die. For today we are but one pack coming together to fight a common enemy. Let us charge ahead to ensure we have our future" bellowed Rex before shifting and letting out a howl of war that was followed by howls of agreement from the other packs.

"That was a great speech, I'm very surprised he had it in him" I marvelled in shock. "Yeah, it wasn't bad I could've done better" Demon pouted, he always did like giving the speeches. I giggled before dropping his hand I hadn't realised I was still holding and jumped away before shifting to catch up to everyone else. I heard a chuckle behind me and not a moment later I was joined by Demon in wolf form. He was running closer than usual that we would brush up against each other now and then. His natural musk seeping into my nose as we covered each other in our scent unknowingly.

We stayed at a steady jog until we reached the edge of the rouge hide-out at which point Vlad and five other vampires descended from the trees. We all looked at one another before the insurgent team backed away to go around the outside. I looked over to Demon who gave a wolfish smirk licking me between my eyes before charging out of the bushes with an aggressive snarl the packs following behind him. I rolled my eyes at him before joining him on what would become the battlefield. We carried on making noise until we were noticed by the guards who raised their alarms and rouges poured out of the place wildly charging at any wolf who wasn't a rouge.

The first rouge who got passed the pack wolves was easily shredded by demon his eyes glinting in delight as he let his blood lust take over. I jumped out of the way just in time to not get bitten by a rouge that had somehow gotten behind me. I snarled at his open threat. The rouge, of course, snarled back at me in open mocking of my position above him. This infuriated me, I jumped on his back ripping at his neck until I couldn't feel him moving anymore. When I was sure the rouge under me was dead I turned towards the battle and went headfirst into the fray. 

I clawed and bit and wrestled with any wolf that challenged me enjoying the thrill of fighting after having so long without a serious battle. I took my frustration out on every rouge I fought. The frustration of being rejected, the frustration of being afraid to ever be intimate with anyone else and the frustration as I realised I was falling in love with one of my best friends and I didn't want to abandon the female-only pack I had created. 

Once the battle had died down and the pack was rounding up the rest of the rouges either for kill or capture I spotted Rex with the insurgent team. The vampires looked at the carnage and had to look away, I'm guessing they were not warrior material going by my standards. I also spotted Vlad with the twin Alpha's who looked incredibly pissed off. I also saw one of the prisoners very close to Vlad. The vampire waved me goodbye and warped away with the three other men. The other three vampires quickly took their princes lead and warped away as well.

I jogged over to Rex and the other prisoners, their ratty appearances and dishevelled clothes showed their suffering. I approached cautiously no doubt my fur was caked in the blood of the rouges who we had just beaten. After a few steps, I shifted back into my human form uncaring of my nudity as I reached the liberated prisoners. "Are you all ok?" I asked but before I could get an answer I was whirled around and crushed into a very naked chest.

I looked up to see Demon staring into my eyes with so much love and lust it took my breath away. I blushed as I became aware of his desire for me. He leaned down placing his lips over mine. The kiss was dominating and passionate with his hands threading through my hair, my hands resting against his bare chest. We pulled apart struggling for breath at the intensity of our kiss. "Shift back I don't think I can keep from claiming you otherwise" Demon huskily spoke into my ear. "I would if you would let go of me" I whispered into his ear licking down the lobe for good measure. 

He loosened his arms just enough for me to shift back into my wolf form. As I stepped back I got a look at his impressive length before he shifted back into his wolf form as well. Demon pushed me towards the edge of the clearing and I ran and he followed the thrill of the chase exciting me nearly as much as the kiss had. When we had gotten the distance between us and the other packs we entered a small clearing with a small lake. I jumped in to wash off the blood from my fur before coming out of the water and shifting back to my human form. "Should we continue" Demon growled as he came out of the lake his body dripping wet.
