Chapter Four

"Who could that be?" Ryan asked Alex as they heard banging on the front door. Alex had been looking at his phone while Ryan was busy grading papers in the middle of the night when they heard it.

"Not sure but to be safe go upstairs." Alex said as they stood up. Ryan nodded and made his way to his room while Alex walked to the door. His eyes widened as he seen who was knocking.

"Hello Alexander." His father's personal servant said as they locked eyes, "Well aren't you going to invite me inside?"

"No way am I giving you permission to enter my house." Alex told him and the servant sighed.

"You need to come back Alexander." He told Alex with a serious tone, "I won't allow you to embarrass your family any more than you already have."

"Let's get on thing straight right now." Alex said with a glare, "I'm not coming back and allow you and the rest of the Council have your way with the people of this world."

"I will bring you back by force if need be." He said and Alex step out of the house, shutting the door behind him. Alex walked by him and he followed behind him knowing what was happening. They walked for quite sometime before stopping in a park a little ways from the house. The servant tried to punch Alex in his back and Alex quickly turned around catching his fist.

"My father really sent a half-blood to force me back?" Alex said as he let go of the man. If a human had been watching all they would have seen were two streaks moving around the park before slamming into each other and the man in a butler's outfit go rolling away. Alex jumped and tried to stomp on the man's head only to hit the concrete, cracking it from the amount of force he used. The man smirked before realizing the Alex was lnt using his full power. It was obvious from the fact that Alex's eyes weren't crimson yet.

"I'm not the kid you used to knock around during our training Becket." Alex said as he walked towards the man, his eyes now glowing a bright blue in the darkness, "I'm far stronger than you now."

Before the man could speak he was sent flying by Alex's foot landing on his face. Alex hit him with a flurry of punches and and kicks before the man landed causing him to crash into a tree hard enough for it to crack. Before Becket could recover Alex begun his assault again beating the man further against the tree. Alex finished his attack with stronger punch to Becket's face breaking the tree in half and sending him through it. Blood poured from Becket's mouth as he got on his hands and knees. Alex picked him up by his hair and brought him close to his face.

"There is one thing that me and my father have in common Becket," Alex told the cowering man in his hand, "and that's the belief that half-bloods will never be able to beat a pure-blood in combat. Not with an army and especially not in one on one combat."

"Wait Lord Alexander!" The man said as he tried to escape Alex's iron grip, "Your father only wants to speak with-"

"No." Alex told Becket as he opened his mouth and bit down on Becket's throat. Becket screamed in pain as Alex drained him of his blood. Alex dropped the man's lifeless body to the ground before kneeling next to it.

"Lord Nicholas, we've received a package meant for you." A servant said as he entered the pure-blood's throne room.

"Who is it from?" Nicholas asked while glaring at the servant for barging in.

"My Lord it's from Lord Alexander." The servant told him as he kneeled and raised the box up. Nicholas was surprised by that information amd took the box. He opened and smiled crept along his face.

"Like father, like son." Nicholas said as he took Becket's head from the box. His face was frozen in fear and Nicholas began to laugh. He suddenly felt Alex's murderous intent from Blackport City as he dropped the head and box. His smiled widened because he knew what Alex wanted. He would get his fight but not quite yet and Nicholas was sure Alex was aware of that. He was simply letting Nicholas know that he was ready when he was.
