Mine

Chapter 54

 

Roy was fuming with anger, his wolf slowly taking over. He had feared something bad had happened to his mate due to his negligence, his wolf could feel it too. He had imagined she would need medical attention after passing out last night, he even imagined the worst scenario, which was her going into a coma since she was human, but never did he imagine that he'd find his cousin Elijah on his bedroom floor unconscious in his pool of blood with his mate nowhere in sight.

His anxiousness didn't let him pick up the all too familiar scent in his bedroom at first, but now that he knew why his wolf was restless he perceived that bastard's scent in his bedroom. He turned into a half-shift and ran out of the room with only one intent in mind and that was to kill Hugh. He was stopped halfway into his journey by his uncle who tackled him to the ground.

"Don't go like this. You're not prepared." Alan said to him.

"Let me go. You're letting him get away!" He growled.

"Going like this will only make you fight blindly."

"I. Said. Let. Go!" Roy said through gritted teeth, internally fighting with his wolf that was ready to tear his uncle apart.

"Roy, I can't let you go like this."

Alan's statement infuriated Roy's wolf, causing it to completely take over. He bit Alan's neck and threw him off his body.

"I AM YOUR ALPHA AND I EXPECT YOU TO OBEY ME!" Roy yelled in his alpha voice.

Christine stood in the corner, watching in horror the confrontation going on between Roy and her mate, not planning on saying anything so she wouldn't upset her Alpha even more. Roy resumed his journey out of his house but was again stopped, this time by Alan's voice

"I know that perfectly well, Roy but I'm also your uncle, so I know what's best for you. If you walk out that door in this state, you'll only end up getting yourself killed, thereby handing your mate to Hugh on a platter of gold... Believe me, Roy, that's what he wants." Alan's statement made Roy halt in his steps, internally fighting with his raging wolf whether or not to listen to his uncle.

"We both know he wouldn't touch a single hair on her head." His uncle continued.

At that moment, Roy realized that Alan was right. Hugh wouldn't hurt Kimberly, he would rather die than lay a finger on her.

"I know you're hurt and so am I. I can as well run off to the white moon pack and challenge Hugh for laying his finger on my son but that's not how things are done." Roy was now glaring at his uncle. If looks could kill, Alan would probably be six feet under by now.

Alan knew what he was doing was wrong, telling an alpha how to run his affairs was so wrong, especially when it had to do with their mate but he was willing to take that risk because he didn't want to lose his nephew. He had made a promise to Roy's father, his previous alpha that he would take good care of his son and guide him to becoming a great alpha.

"Roy. This is your chance to take what is rightfully yours."

"Is that what this is about?" Roy growled.

"No. But you can use this as a perfect opportunity to regain control over this region... As it ought to be."

Alan didn't care if Roy thought of him as selfish. It was high time they got everything back to normal like they used to be. He was already tired of the things Hugh and the three alphas before he had done to the once-happy pack. Roy knew exactly what his uncle was talking about.

         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Four generations before him, during the time of his great-great-grandfather, Sebastian, the white moon pack and the blue moon pack used to be one, known as the  Moon pack. Sebastian and his mate had twin boys, Jason and Mason. It was settled between the then Alpha and his advisers that the firstborn twin, Jason, would be the next Alpha. As years went by, he trained both of his sons to be strong werewolves but he focused more on Jason, who was preparing to become the next Alpha, not realizing the growing jealousy in his second son. When Sebastian's sons turned twenty, he decided it was time for him to retire as the alpha, unknown to him and most members of the pack, Mason had a plan of his own.

On the day of the ceremony, Mason led a rebellion against his twin brother, accusing his father of making Jason Alpha because he was his favorite son and not because he deserved it. He swore that he'd rather die than watch his brother become the alpha.  This angered Sebastian who always knew that Mason was the irrational one of the two. Jason tried to talk his brother out of his madness, letting him know that he was disrespecting their father, but Mason wouldn't hear any of it, he was quite confident of his actions because he had the support of some of the advisers and pack members. He let his pride take over and challenged his father to a duet, to the surprise of all present.

Jason couldn't take any more of his brother's madness so he accepted the challenge on his father's behalf. The pack watched in fear as both werewolves fought. Mason filled with hatred and rage was about to take his brother's life but his father, Sebastian stopped him before he could go through with such an outrageous act. Rather than lose his son, Sebastian had to make a tough decision, since Mason wanted to be an alpha, he would make him an alpha but not at the expense of his other son. So Sebastian separated the Moon pack into two equal parts, giving the second half to Mason to prevent a war from breaking out.

Jason tried to stop his father but Sebastian ignored him, telling him he was doing it for his good because Mason already had some advisers on his side and he didn't want them conspiring against his son in the future. Jason reluctantly accepted his dad's decision but he made a promise to his father that he would make the pack one again, even if it was the last thing he did before his death but that never happened.

For years, war broke out between the two packs that used to be the biggest and strongest pack in America, until two generations later, when a peace pact was signed between both packs to end the war and to never step foot in each other's territory except for official reasons, but Hugh broke that pact some weeks ago and went as far as killing two members of the blue moon pack.

            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roy's thoughts were in a mess, he was thinking about his pack members who were killed, then his mate, Kimberly, who was currently kidnapped and now he has to think of a bloody war. Well, either way, his war was bound to happen but he never imagined it would happen during his lifetime. His uncle is right, he needs to make use of the opportunity and take back what rightfully belongs to him which was long overdue. With that final conviction, Roy looked his uncle straight in the eye and said,

"What's the plan?"

OMG! 😯
A war is about to break out
