16. You Connot Help

**Narrator’s POV.**

Impatiently, the alpha king paced in front of the castle gate, waiting for the humans to show their faces. Just thinking about them and how they had been living right under his nose, inside his own territory made his blood boil. Nothing ever got passed him- nothing other than his delinquent of a daughter.

He was ready for a war and he had so much confidence that he would wipe out all the humans this time- they were weak creatures after all and such weakness had no place on this earth.

His nose flared at the scent of his mate walking towards him, what was she doing there? He had told the guards not to let her out, “Go back Daphne”, he demanded but she shrugged him off and walked closer, ignoring him completely. Once she got to him, she placed her hand on his chest,

“What are you doing, my love?”, she asked him, “What did these people do to you?”,

“You would not understand”, he moved his face to the side arrogantly, “These people do not have a place here”, he said to her,

“This world was theirs before it became ours”, she pointed out, “You have to remember that. No matter how much you try to wipe them out, they would always remain on this earth”, Daphne tried her best to reason with him but it was too late- he already had his mind set on making sure the humans became extinct and for real this time.

He took a step away from her, “Go back into the castle Daphne”, she shook her head,

“No, if you are going to do this, I will not sit by and watch. I am not weak”, he could tell that she was firm with her decision, just like he was too with his.

Suddenly, the alpha king let out a loud growl, everyone within a ten mile radius could feel anger rolling off his back in harsh waves. His light vibrant purple eyes darkened to a deep violet shade making every wolf tremble in fear, “Humans”, he seethed.

A large group of people came out from the bushes, a man who was probably their leader in front of the crowd. Daphne narrowed her eyes at the man, why did he seem so familiar? Had they met before? She could remember seeing somewhere but why where her memories so burred up?

The werewolves took their place behind their king and queen, standing defensively in case it was time to strike, “You dare step into my territory”, the alpha king barked at the man,

“Your territory?”, the man scoffed, “This territory and all other lands of this earth belongs to us. For centuries, our kind has been forced to lurk in the background, watching as you beasts devour from our hard work. We would not stand for it anymore, give me my son right now, or else”, Daphne being the only woman let out a gasp of surprise, Harrison was the son of the Human Leader.

“Or else what?”, the alpha king dared, taking a step further,

The man placed a sinister smirk on his face, “I would hate to go down memory lane”, his light grey eyes then darted to Daphne, making Dwayne growl furiously, “But you can ask your mate about the amount of damage I could do”. Daphne froze, memories flashing through her mind like a horror movie.

She could remember vividly where she had met the man from- how could she not? After all, he was the one who had tried to kill her twenty years ago. How fate worked was so mysterious and cruel, the man her daughter had fallen in love with was the son of the man who had tried to kill her for money.

“You!”, the alpha king roared, “You tried to kill my mate”, his darkened eyes became so bright, they started to glow, almost blinding everyone around him, “I would kill you”, he flew into the air and landed on his four paws, charging at the man with force. Taking it as a go ahead, the werewolves morphed into their wolves and charged at the humans who had come prepared for a war, they suddenly retrieved knives, daggers and swords from hidden places. Their old fashioned weapons gave the werewolves confidence, those puny humans were no match for them.

They were mistaken and realized that they had underestimated the skill and power of the humans. They had had years to master their weapons and were extremely good at it.

As the alpha king charged to the human leader, about thirty other humans had run in to occupy him, they had hope of giving him a good fight but their efforts were futile. He showed no mercy to any of them and even though they all surrounded him, he managed to kill five of them in a minute- those were the weak ones. The others proved to be stubborn and strong-willed but he still managed to snap a few of their heads.

He could feel his strength increase rapidly as he decapitated a human and threw his head into the forest. The alpha king threw the body aside and put up a fight with another two at the same time, one of them managed to scratch his face with a dagger but he suppressed the pain and stood on his hind legs, grabbing both their chests and ripping their hearts out of their chest.

His fur was coated with blood and he craved more- he could not remember the last time he had tasted human blood or flesh, it tasted so much better than the blood of his kind. He began his run towards the man once again but halted in his tracks when a loud scream emanated through the forest.

He suddenly became aware of his surroundings and realized that a lot of wolves had been killed by the humans- almost fifty but what had him going was realizing that his mate had been the one to scream , he ran towards her quickly, changing into his human form, “Daphne!”, he shouted in worry.

He skid to a stop in front of her and bent down to examine her body- there was not even a single scratch on her but she looked pale and her lips had turned blue- like she was dying, “I feel weak”, a tear fell from her eye,

“Call a doctor”, the alpha king ordered as DJ ran into view, panic was written on his face and he also bent down in front of his mother, holding her hand,

The doctor came rushing to the scene with his medical equipment, he paused for a second, taking in the large number of corpses laying around, “What happened to her?”, he asked quickly.

“I do not know”, the alpha king admitted, “She just screamed and fell”, he took her other hand in his and brought it up to his lips, giving it a firm kiss. Tears were tempting to fall from his eyes but he knew he had to hold them back and keep them at bay- he could not cry in front of his men, what message would it send to them? That he was unable to manage himself?

“I do not understand”, the doctor said after examining her body properly, “There is not even a scratch on her body. Her internal system is perfect but her heart beat is dropping rapidly”,

“What the fuck does that mean?”, DJ growled before his father could,

“It means that there is definitely something wrong with her but one thing is sure”, the doctor took a pause before saying, “It is nothing medical”.

“Meaning?”, the alpha king’s darkened eyes shot at the man, making him yelp in fear,

“I can not fix this, only the witch head is powerful enough to tell you what is wrong with the queen”, the alpha king let out a loud groan. He could not even remember the last time he had seen the witch head, probably nineteen years ago when he had a meeting with the two leaders and thanked them for helping him when he needed it the most.

He had not heard from her since then and wondered whether it would be rude to just barge into her castle after all this time, demanding help from her. He let out a sigh, knowing that he would have to give her a warning before he even stepped a foot inside her territory as not doing so could lead to another war which he was trying to avoid at that moment because of his mate.

“Fredrick, get the witch head on the phone and tell her we are coming”, he said to his second in command who nodded and got to it, “DJ, get me some clothes and watch over your sister while I am gone”, he then said to his son who was now gently caressing his mother’s soft cheek,

DJ shook his head, “I want to go with you”, he demanded,

“No, you cannot. Someone has to take care of things while I am gone. I will be back in three days and I want to meet everything in place”, he ordered before his mind drifted to the main reason why they were in the forest, “Where are the humans?”,

“They escaped but we got a few prisoners, they have been taken to the dungeons”, DJ placed a kiss on his mother’s cheek and stood up to do what his father had ordered, “I had them separated so they have no means of communication. While you are away, I would set up a proper burial for our fallen soldiers and burn the human corpses”, the alpha king nodded his head in approval as his son had done exactly what he would have done.
