Chapter 29 - Battle Of The Alphas

It's 6am and Kane is pacing the bedroom like a maniac ready to explode... he's actually really terrifying like this to be honest.

"Kane it's too early..." I whine from the bed.

"Exactly... early enough for them to catch us off guard and attack! You can go back to sleep, ill protect you." He huffs out in frustration as he looks out of the window for the tenth time.

"Did Adam get an army ready?" I question, suddenly becoming nervous incase they didn't get here.

"There is 12 thousand wolves on stand by surrounding both packs... I figured that all in there should be about 5 thousand of them and I plan to wipe them out completely..." He explains gruffly.

"But what about the kids? Like that boy we met at the pack house? He must have only been around the age of 15 Kane... and he was clearly terrified of you when he seen you... he means no harm." I plead, not wanting any innocent people to get hurt.

"I wouldn't just kill children Leoni! Who do you think I am!" He snaps out at me, but I understand that he's just stressed.

"Your the cruellest Alpha there is..." I mutter, reminding him of his known title.

"Yes... only cruel when I need to be babe... I don't just kill people for the fun... all children will be kept safe and if they are old enough, they will be given the chance to join my pack... all women will also be kept safe unless they try to fight... if they try to fight against us then we will kill them." He explains, slightly more calm this time.

I nod in approval before slumping back down on the pillow.

This is going to be a long day...


*********************

"LEONI GET UP NOW!!" I hear Kane's deafening voice thunder in the room, causing me to jump hysterically out of bed.

"Get dressed immediately! I've been given word that the bastards are closing in!" Kane shouts at me whilst throwing me clothes.

I look at the clock to see that it's now 8:15am and as I see Kane storm around the room, the realisation hits me that he could potentially die today... I mean so could I but who cares about me? I'm not important... I would be nothing without him.

"Kane..." I choke back a sob.

"Babe nows not the time to get upset..." He tries to say as calmly as possible.

"W-What if you die... I can't lose you..." I release a sob before he hugs me close to his chest.

"It takes more than 5 thousand wolves to kill me princess... I promise I'll be back for you before you know it." He tells me soothingly, and I know we only have little time.

I release him and wipe my eyes from any tears before he kisses me quickly and continues making calls.

"Adam start closing in! I want this house guarded by the time they get here!" Kane snaps down the phone before hanging up.

"Okay so you and Willow are going to hide in the basement until I come back to get you is that clear? You don't come out for anyone other than me!" He says sternly, leading me downstairs to where a frantic Willow is stood.

"We have information on your mates whereabouts so we should have him with us when we get back... until then, you both should stay down stairs and stay silent! I'll lock the door." He says to both Willow and I as Willows face lights up with hope of seeing Mason.

I pray that Kane doesn't get hurt... please don't get hurt...

********Kane's POV********

Once I had gotten Leoni and her friend hidden away, I waited patiently on the rebels to arrive to chop off my head.

Hah jokes! As if.

I knew Adam had the place surrounded. Everyone had come to fight and show their loyalty to their King.

After a brief ten minutes of chilling on the sofa, I eventually heard the shouts and roars of angry men outside and decided I best go greet them before the fight.

I get up and stroll out onto the porch to see many men surrounding the house... or so they thought, surrounding the house.

"Good morning gentlemen, and thanks for coming to this special event today. Now I am going to give you two options here... the first option is that you can join me in this battle and keep your lives... Or... you could always choose my personal favourite... and let me rip out your throat with my teeth." I say confidently, showing off a wicked grin to the crowds of growling men.

Moments later I see Leoni's father and the other Alpha appear through the crowd making my grin widen.

This is why they hate me... I'm a cocky little bastard and I love it.

"It took you two old men long enough to get here..." I say sarcastically, earning a growl from them both.

"It's quite humorous... King... that your standing there all smug whilst we have you surrounded... you thought you could embarrass me? You thought you could take away my pride and everything that my pack had left? It was Leoni's duty to take over the pack and you left us with nothing! But I don't blame her for leaving... she was too weak anyway, since after all, she is a runt!" Leoni's father, Dean Stone, spits out with so much fury that it causes me to let out a laugh.

"Dean... pup... let's face it... your an old man... you could have easily turned your pack over to me and went to live in a retirement home... but instead you've grown some balls and you actually want to stand here dropping off empty threats." I chuckle darkly.

"Empty threats? I would love to hear you say that when I murder your precious little mate... who by the way, I know is inside that house somewhere... so daughter or not, if it will destroy you then so be it!" He rages at me, clearly he has gone insane.

He hates me that much that he is willing to murder his own daughter... Hah! Over my dead body.

"Half of your men are standing here quivering... shaking in fear just from being in my presence... your men don't want to fight against me... they know what their fate will be if they do... but I suppose they must follow their sweet Alphas orders..." I annoyingly mock the Alphas as I stroll down onto the grass, being watched carefully by everyone.

"So... before things get out of hand here, If any man wishes to join my army in this fight then step forward now or forever enjoy your early death." I say grinning like a maniac to the men.

To my complete shock, I see a few of the men walk forward, heads bowed in shame as they approach me. I nod at them approvingly, gaining 16 men in total from the thousands here.

"Cowards! You are all cowards!" I hear Leoni's father shout in rage at the men that now stand with me.

"Smart men actually." I say with a wink, only earning more rage from them both.

Before I can speak again, I am shocked to see the young boy from the pack house step forward shakily.

He approaches me slowly, cautious of getting hurt and It sickens me to think that there are children here at this fight.

"Son... I want you to go inside that house... go to the basement and you'll find the girl I was with yesterday... hide in there until I come back." I whisper to the boy once he is close enough as I push him towards the house.

With tears in his eyes, he does as he's told and walks steadily towards the house behind us, being watched by the thousands.

"Your fighting with children!" I spit out in rage causing the Alphas to shrug and smirk.

The sick bastards are forcing young boys to fight! I mind link the whole of my pack informing them to not kill or hurt any children and instead to capture them for questioning.

"You men are stupid for joining your King! There are 17 of you all in, and thousands of us! You will all die!" The other Alpha chuckles which causes me to laugh too.

I know that my army are watching us right now from the trees and I can't help but notice their confused faces as to why I'm laughing.

"Hmm... 17 against thousands? Now that seems slightly uneven doesn't it? Hold on a moment and I'll fix that." I say smugly, before I let out a deafening wolf whistle, causing my men to emerge from the trees.

I laugh as every mans face falls flat in terror and realisation that they are now about to die.

Both Alphas, after being shocked by my surprise, stand with determination written across their faces before getting into a battle stance.

I take this as my sign to shift into my giant wolf, earning many gasps from the men as they probably have never seen how powerful and big I am until now.

I even see some men begin to run from the fight, abandoning their precious Alphas after seeing my size.

I let out a howl, causing my men to all shift and before we know it, the war begins...

About 10 seconds in, I had already ripped out about 18 wolves throats in a rage to try and get to the Alphas.

I want to kill them both myself!

I scan my surroundings seeing my army destroying the wolves and I grin. I search for the Alphas but to my frustration they are nowhere to be seen which makes me feel slightly sick.

They wouldn't just run like that...

I mind link my pack asking where they went and one of the men replies saying that they headed straight for the house where Leoni was.

I let out a howl, before charging backwards for the house.

I burst through the door and hear the young boy from earlier yelling for help. Shit!

The yells come from upstairs and I immediately dart up knowing they probably have him cornered.

I see the Alpha, Masons Dad, towering over the young boy threateningly about to rip him apart with his teeth.

As he raises a paw to slash at the boy, I tackle him to the floor and begin fighting with the smaller Alpha.

He manages to successfully bight down on my shoulder, only causing me to become even angrier as I decide that it's now time to finish him off completely.

I hold him down with ease and snap his neck, wanting to laugh at how easy it was to kill the pathetic old man.

I shift back for a brief second in order to communicate with the sobbing young teenager in the corner.

"Son, where did the other wolf go?" I question, helping him up.

"H-He... King... I'm so sorry..." The boy mutters in terror and shock.

"Listen boy, this is not the time to be scared, I'm not going to hurt you so just tell me what the fuck happened!" I demand, causing the boy to choke back sobs.

"H-He... He made me tell him where the girl was sir... he went to the basement..." The boy says before I tell him to lock himself in the bathroom until I return.

I dart off downstairs back in wolf form, terrified incase I'm too late to protect my precious mate when suddenly I hear her scream out one deafening word-

"Father!"
