Alpha Entitle

Elena - POV



I was shivering while seeing blood and the throat flesh in my hand, and tears were forming in my eyes after Yuri took Elders out of my sight, as I slumped on the ground and saw Henry's cold corpse. I was not crying because I killed Henry, but from the regret of not being able to shift before to be next to Silas and die alongside him, then stay without him.



"Elena," Drake drew me into an embrace as I sobbed uncontrollably. I didn't realize how much time had passed as I distanced myself.



"Thank you," I whispered as I couldn't cry anymore, and I saw the bloodstain on his clothes because of me. "I am sorry."



"Don't be sorry; it's okay." He muttered to me, his gaze softened. Drake helped me stand on my leg, and I looked at the spot to see Henry's corpse; Blood was not there. I looked at Drake in startle.



"Yuri cleansed the scene," Drake answered.



I somehow pulled myself from cleaning the Blood, and Henry's words rang in my head. "Thank God Silas died, and my son can be the Alpha and kill this Luna or make her concubine." Henry thought.



"I should have tortured that motherfucker for thinking such a thing." As I tried to clean myself, I hissed. I looked at my red, swollen, puffy eyes as I stared in the mirror after the shower.

After crying in bed, I knew deep down that Silas is not dead. I need to meet with Emily, and I can ask how to bring Silas back from the hellfire. Hope rose in my heart with this thought. I put on some fresh pairs of clothes to see Emily.



"Alpha," Yuri said as I stalked down the corridor.



"Yuri, how is Emily doing?" I asked, seeing that Yuri had a parcel of food and water.



"Emily!" Yuri blinked with a puzzle at my reaction. "She is fine."



"Let us meet her," I said.



"You should eat and drink something. It has been four days__."



"Yuri, thank you for your concern, but I need to meet Emily first." I sternly added, and Yuri just nodded her head meekly. Emily was staring at the ceiling as soon as she heard my footsteps, and she looked at me with grief reflecting in her eyes.





"Emily, can you help me get Silas back?" Yuri and Emily blinked at me for two seconds.



"I don't know, Elena, if that is possible, but I would try something to make it work," Emily said. "But don't keep your hopes high, Elena."



"I only have hope, Emily, to stand strong, and you have to lean to the faith of Silas being Alive. How can you give up on him already?" I snapped. Emily's eyes glared at me with fury.



"I haven't given up; I am thinking about bringing Silas back and not breaking the hellfire gate in the process and putting Silas's effort in vain." Emily scowled at me. She rolled out of the infirmary bed.



"You need to rest," the nurse said.



"I have rested enough. I need to get my son and look after my daughter-in-law," Emily said as she took my hand and nudged me to walk with her.



"Did she eat anything?" Emily asked Yuri, and she shook her head. Why isn't she as sad and broken as I am, finding it difficult to breathe each day without Silas?



"You are thinking I am okay losing my child to the monsters?" Emily asked as she asked Yuri to bring food to the table.



"I said nothing," I muttered.



"Your eyes tell otherwise." Emily snorted. "Elena, I am keeping the hope of his return, and I can't be weak against the suffering and let you go into depression, either." I looked at her. Emily stared right at me.



"You sense the danger of rogues approaching us." Emily nodded her head.



"Not only that, but the other Alphas are plotting to take over, and if you, with your power, can show that no one can think it's a piece of cake, It will reduce the bloodshed by buying the Pack, and not going to war."



"How am I supposed to do that? I hardly know anything about wolves and politics."



"That is why I am here with you. First, eat, will you?" I looked at the food and thought I had no appetite to eat, but I knew I couldn't starve and put myself in a weak state when many people's lives depended on me and my decisions.



"First, Elena dresses up in black, and next, I will tell you what I plan to do." I had this conflict in my head about whether I should listen to Emily, but my heart and Wolf said to follow her, so I gave in to Emily's order and did what she asked me. Following that, I see Yuri, Mac, and Drake arrives dressed in black.



"Yuri and Mac have summoned the pack to the open ground, and Elena, you must speak about what happened and how Alpha Silas saved them from the greatest threat and made you the Alpha of this pack, as well as who wants to challenge your authorities has two days to come forward." I blinked at Emily's speech for seconds. Why do I have to open a challenge, people? Not that I was afraid to put up a fight and save the pack that Silas cherished so much.



"Elena, there is a reason for you to challenge them. Because if you don't, some will wage war on the pack in order to take over with bloodshed," Emily said, clearly seeing my reaction to her words.



"We are here with you, Alpha Elena," Yuri added with determination. I gave her a small smile.



"You have our support, Alpha, ", Mac added.



"Don't worry if anyone tries anything. I can kill some," Drake added.



"Thank you," I whispered.



I stood in front of people who looked at me with desperation for answers and concern on their faces about what would happen to them, as they had no Alpha to look after their family and give them the security of safety.



The crowd's concerns seemed to dissipate as I spoke the exact words Emily had asked me to convey, and after hearing my strong and confident voice. I saw someone from the crowd raised his hand.



"I want to challenge the Alpha title." The young man said with a subtle glare, and his resemblance to Henry confirmed that this was his son, whom he wanted to be the alpha.



The name on the list grew bigger and bigger to take me down. I could see the worry on Yuri and Mac's faces, and Emily looked calm as if she knew this would happen. Drake was stopping himself from killing the participants who enrolled their names.



"Very well, then meet all participants on the battleground," I said as I moved to go home. I heard the Pack members' condolences but didn't accept them, as I knew my Silas was not dead. I have to be stronger, Alpha, to protect this Pack and Silas' place until he returns home.



****

I stood in front of the mirror, looking at myself and calming my nerves, as today was the day of battling and killing more to keep the title. A gentle knock came on the door, and I opened it to see Emily.



"Elena, if you need extra power, take this potion. It will heal your wounds quickly." Emily said this as she handed me the vial, and I looked at her, though she appeared unconcerned. Beneath a calm gaze, I could sense concern for myself. I had no time to speak with Emily or anyone, as Drake and Yuri taught me how to fight. I wanted to ask Emily. She went to the shrine to look for any way to know if Silas could return from that place or learn what had happened to him exactly.



"All the best, Alpha," Yuri and Mac chorused together, and I glanced at Drake, who gave me the nod. As I stepped up, a cheering crowd waited for me; showing support made me happy and overwhelmed at the same time. It was not acting for the role, but fighting for survival; it was a different scenario.



"We got this Elena, just trust me," Celeste said, which boosted my morale, and the menacing gaze of participants stared at me as I stepped into the Arena. I took my fighting stance.



The whistle blew in the Arena, and the first participant stepped in with a murderous gaze. My wolf surfaced, and I could feel the rage of losing my mate. This evil bastard wants to be the Alpha of this Pack. I shift into wolf form.



He growled before his claw touched me. My canines sank into his throat and ripped him apart. The crowd and the participants shiver at the sight, and I can taste the blood in my mouth.



The others took part, stepped in, and I killed them, one after the other. The final contestant who stepped in was none other than Henry's son. Rover stepped into the Arena with his menacing gaze, and I could see what to avenge his father's death.
