The elder woman asks the children and young adults.
"I hope I do." rumbles a scarred young man half wrapped in bandages. "Or things are going to get a lot worse." He says walked out of the wise women's tent glancing straight at a young man. "You coming? We have a lot to." He demanded and the young man got up with a faint smile. "Yes my king."

I stood proudly with my sword drawn. I had failed in finding my second mate, but I would die and be reunited with Alex while fighting for my country and king. We would either win, or we would all die trying.
Species of all kinds and forms stood side by side, ready to defend their home and ways of life from the tyrant Kasen of Fall. My burned body wasn't the only severely injured here, not by far, but we were here to even the odds. Kasen would fall.
The battle cry rang out, and we charged for Kasen's army, injuring who we could and trying not to kill on contact. Kasen held something all of these people loved, and they were being forced to fight on his behalf.
A howl sounded to my left, strong and powerful. Our King. A flash of red and white verified it and I swung at my opponents leg. King Kai was here fighting next to us, being the best he could be. He will win back our country.
Suddenly I caught sight of his beautiful blue and silver eyes, startling against his red and white coat, sleek fur showing his powerful muscle tone and build. Something scratched at the back of my head, and he took a step closer. Then it clicked. He, he was my second mate.... and he was about to be killed. A man raised his sword and slashed down, and I looked away.
"I Alpha Jason Huntsman of the Blue Moon Pack reject you Esmeray Woodsmith of the Blue Moon pack as my mate."
My knees feel weak and my whole body starts to tremble under this invisible force. My heart feels like shattered into a hundred pieces; my head starts throbbing like hit by a hundred-pound rock. Well, expected of the great Alpha of a jerk to reject the so-called weakling of the pack.
But I do not let the scene unfold the way this arrogant fool of an Alpha wishes. I lift my chin, straighten my back, a hint of a smirk playing on my lips, I say much more arrogantly " I Esmeray Woodsmith of Blue Moon Pack except the rejection of Alpha Jason Huntsman of Blue Moon pack."

I wipe off the blood from my treasured dagger. And walk out of the Leader's Den, to face the people ready to accept me as their new Alpha. Well, not until recently was I rejected by my mate for being a right-hand man of a so-called Rogue leader. The one I just killed. And my new Beta calls out as I walk out of the Cabin's door. "We welcome our new leader the Rogue King."
And that is when I decide to show myself to the world. And who knew I would be mated to the strongest female wolf I have ever come across.
