Chapter 201

Rakari’s POV

He cannot be serious! I can’t believe he is making Darius choose between me and his mum! He’ll never be able to choose,

“You must be joking”

Marcus looked at Darius with a blank face,

“Does it look like I’m joking? This isn’t a game Darius, either you choose or I choose for you”

Darius growled,

“You can’t do this!”

Marcus walked up to me and placed his hand on my cheek which made me close my eyes in not only disgust but in fear as well,

“I can do whatever I like, at the moment, I have all the power, not you”

He smirked and leant forward towards me and pressed his lips against mine and because I wasn’t expecting it, I kicked him in the leg which made him groan and look at me with pure rage in his eyes,

“Apologise”

I gained some courage and narrowed me eyes at him,

“Or what Marcus? You want me don’t you? He smirked and leant forward towards me and pressed his lips against mine and because I wasn’t expecting it, I kicked him in the leg which made him groan and look at me with pure rage in his eyes.

I gained some courage and narrowed me eyes at him,

“But I could kill her”

He ran the gun across her face and her face just paled even more,

“Don’t touch her! It’s me you want not her”

He shook his head,

“Tut tut tut Rakari, do you not know me at all? I’m not one to play fair and I always get what I’m after, isn’t that right Sharise?”

I looked at Sharise to see her nod her head,

“Yes alpha”

Alpha?! So that’s why she has no mind link, because she changed fucking packs! My own sister!

“Anyway, back to my question” He turned to face Darius and put one hand towards me and the other towards Sadie,

“Your mum or your mate? I haven’t got all day”

Darius looked torn between me and Sadie like he was fighting a battle inside his head even though he no longer had communication with his wolf. He sighed before looking down with watery eyes,

“I can’t choose”

“Well I’m just going to have to choose for you then”

He pointed the gun at me, then at Sadie

I blanked him out and only caught the last bit of his sentence,

“Eenie meenie miney mo”

I opened my eyes suddenly realizing that I closed them unconsciously to see the gun pointed at Sadie and I felt tears rush down my face.

“The choice has been made”

He took the safety off and smirked and was just about to pull the trigger when Darius shouted out,

“No please! I’ll do anything! I’ll even give up my alpha title!”

Me and Sadie gasped in shock but Marcus just shook his head,

“That’s not good enough; I’m giving you a choice, so make it!”

I saw a tear roll down Darius’ cheek and it pained me to see him so upset,

“Please, I’ll do anything”

“Give up Rakari”

He shook his head,

“I can’t do that”

“Then watch as your mum takes her final breaths!”

“No!”

Before we could even blink, Marcus pulled the trigger and it seemed like everything was happening in slow motion. Sadie fell to the floor with blood now soaking her shirt in the stomach area,

“No! Mum! Please no!!”

“You can release him; let him see the mistake he’s made but keep a hold of Rakari”

They nodded and let go of Darius’ arms and he immediately ran over to his mum and bent down to her level,

“Mum, I’m so sorry! Please don’t leave me, please, I can’t lose you”

Sadie placed a hand on Darius’ cheek and I didn’t even bother wiping away the tears that were now freely flowing,

“Fight Darius, I know you’re stronger than this”

He shook his head,

“No! Say you’ll be fine! Tell me that I’ll see you later!”

She closed her eyes for a second and shook her head before opening them again,

“I can’t, I’m not a liar”

Darius cried out,

“No! Mum please don’t go!”

“I love you Darius, keep me in here”

She moved her hand down so that it was placed over his heart, “Don’t forget me”

He shook his head,

“Never, I promise. I love you”

She smiled and a few seconds later, her eyes slowly closed and Darius buried his head in her neck and I could hear his muffled cries and I looked through my blurred vision at Marcus to see him looking at his fingernails

“Oh, are you finished?”

“You heartless son of a bitch!”

He smiled at me,

“You know you don’t mean that babe, you’ll learn”

He clicked his fingers and pointed at Darius and before I could even warn him, one of the guys bent down and injected Darius with some sort of drug,

“What is that?”

“It will knock him out, for a while”

“I hate you!”

“Well I love you, all of this is because I love you, now stop complaining and let’s go home”

“I’m not going anywhere with you!”

He pulled the trigger and it hit the wall right next to my face,

“You will come with me, if not I’ll be sure to hit you next time!”

I nodded my head and looked down to the ground,

“Great, Sharise put in the code please”

“Yes alpha”

I heard her footsteps and a few seconds later, I heard the shelves being opened and I was forcefully pushed forward, being made to walk, leaving Darius in the room against my will,

“You won’t get away with this

Marcus chuckled,

“Oh but I believe I will, your pack members are currently sleeping unaware that their alpha female is being taken away from them”

I closed my eyes to keep the unshed tears at bay and I was led outside which was where I heard a range of growls and snarls and I opened my eyes to see the pack fighters all in wolf form,

“Well, hello gentlemen, how are you?”

They all snarled and the wolf I recognised as Rhylie shifted and narrowed his eyes at Marcus and the guys that were currently restraining me

“Where do you think you’re going with our alpha female?”

“I’m merely getting back what is rightfully mine”

“Where is the alpha?!”

“Currently unavailable, if it’s battle you want, it’s a battle you’ve got”

All of a sudden, up to a hundred wolves walked out from inside, behind and around the house and they were clearly part of Marcus's pack,

“Are you sure you want to take us on, you are clearly out numbered”

“Try us”

Rhylie shifted back and immediately lunged for Marcus but he didn’t even move. All Marcus did was grab Rhylie by his neck and stare him in his wolf eyes,

“Try harder”

He threw him onto the ground and I just looked at Marcus in shock. I knew he was strong but to lift a fully grown wolf and throw him like that takes ridiculous amount of strength.

I was roughly pulled away from the battle and both sides started running towards each other in rage, desperately trying to claw at one another.

Let’s just say that it was not a pretty sight seeing the amount of blood and hearing the range of growls and snarls and howls of pain. I knew that both sides would never back down and the only way to stop all of this is to have a alpha battle but seeing as Darius is currently knocked out, the next best thing to do would be fore me myself to challenge him. From what I know, that has never been done and I don’t know if it can but I refuse to give up and let my pack fall,

“Stop! Everyone stop!!”

Everyone silenced and stood still, I didn’t use my alpha tone but the loudness and intensity of my voice made them stop to see what I had to say,

‘Rakari, stay out of this!’

I narrowed my eyes at Charlie,

“This is as much my battle as it is yours Charlie, Sadie died at the hands of him!” I pointed to Marcus and my pack members started walking towards him,

“No! Stay where you are!”

That time I used my alpha tone and they immediately stood still, “I will be the one to challenge him, I will be the one to end this war”

Marcus shifted back the same time that Rhylie did,

“Don’t be stupid Rakari, I’ll kill all of them in 5 minutes tops and we can go home”

“Fuck you! This is her decision!”

“If I can throw you in wolf form, do not disregard what I can do to you in your human form pup”

Rhylie growled and ran up to Marcus to punch him in the face but I saw Marcus take out a knife and stab him in his stomach and Rhylie fell to the ground,

“Your lucky that knife wasn’t silver otherwise you’d literally be dead, try that again and I’ll be sure to use the right knife next time”

Rhylie groaned and clutched his stomach waiting for it to heal and I looked back at Lukas to see him wipe the knife and put it back in his pocket,

“Take the challenge”

“I can’t fight you Rakari, I love you, I would never hurt you”

“You’ve hurt me already, a few cuts and bruises won’t make me feel any worse than what I do now”

He laughed,

“Cuts and bruises? That’s what you think you’re going to come out with? I may love you but if I accept the challenge, I will not go easy on you”

I nodded,

“I, Rakari Martin Cascella, alpha female of the Shadow Valley Pack challenge you Marcus Knight, alpha of the Dark Moon pack to an alpha’s battle”

“I accept”

Before I could even blink, my arms were released and Marcus lunged for me pinning me to the ground at full force making me lose my breath for a few seconds,

“You can back out anytime Rakari, just say the word”

I shook my head and started struggling from underneath him. I could feel my wolf coming back to me but not close enough for me to shift yet so I knew the only way to get him off was to distract him. I closed my eyes and leaned up to press my lips against his and he was a bit shocked which is what made him loosen his grip on me and I didn’t waste any time in kicking him off me, making him fly a few feet away from me.

I wiped my mouth in disgust and Lukas stood up,

“Smart move but I won’t fall for it a second time”

“I would never kiss you a second time”

He smirked,

“And why is that?”

We started circling each other,

“Because you disgust me, you can’t accept the fact that I found my mate, I’m no longer yours”

He growled at me,

“You will always be mine!”

“Why can’t you just let me go?!”

“Because I had you first and I will not let anyone take you away from me!!”

I felt my wolf surface, ‘Kill him’

I shifted and lunged for him and his eyes widened because I caught him off guard and he realised that I was merely distracting him the whole time. I gave my wolf full control and I felt the rage increase as I did that. I managed to pin him down to the ground with my paw over his neck but with how strong he was, he had no trouble in pushing me off of him. He shifted and ran towards me at full speed and I used all my strength to jump over him but he just turned around and sunk his teeth into my back leg, which made me howl out in pain and my steps faltered which gave him the opportunity to push me down to the ground.

He shifted back and even if human form he managed to pin me down while I was still in wolf form,

“I’m sorry I have to do this Rakari but a challenge requires only one survivor, so, any last words?”

My wolf gave me back control so that I could shift back,

“I just wanted to say I’m sorry”

“For what?”

“For this”

I reached behind me and grabbed the silver knife that fell to the floor when he shifted I and wasted no time in plunging it into his stomach, 3 times,

“Now you know what it feels like to be stabbed 3 times”

He groaned and I pushed him off of me and he started coughing up blood before he just stopped moving completely, a sign that he groaned and I pushed him off of me and he started coughing up blood before he just stopped moving completely, a sign that he was now dead.

I stood up and whimpered because my leg hadn’t fully healed yet,

“Rakari”

I turned to face Rhylie to see him handing me some clothes so I smiled gratefully and proceeded to put them on,

“You do know that you’re now alpha female to both packs now?”

I nodded,

“It had to be done”

I turned around to face all of the wolves, from both mine and Marcus’ pack to see them all bow their heads to me including Rhylie. Everyone bowed their head, everyone but Sharise who was currently knelt down next to Marcus’ body crying,

“How can you shed tears for a man that would’ve killed you at the blink of an eye if needed be?”

She looked up at me and I could see a new found of rage in her eyes and she stood up and stalked towards me,

“How could you kill him?! He was my alpha!”

“Key word there being ‘was’, there’s nothing you can do to change this”
