“You won’t have Lex,” I sneered near her as I leaned toward her face. “He’s my mate.”
I loosen my hand on the chain and wrap it around Naomi’s neck.
Naomi tries to move, but I use all my weight to keep her in place as the chain goes around her neck.
“ROX,” she says, I could tell she was frightened, but I knew she was messing with my head.
Naomi was like that with everyone, getting her way. I knew what I had to do, and I believed her wolf over anything she had to say. No wolf would wish for death.
“PLEASE,” she begged.
I ignored her as the chains were in place.
I looked into her eyes, but her eyes changed to Elle’s. “NOW,” she whined.
I guess she was having trouble holding Naomi back.
I pull the chain, which tightens around Naomi’s neck. I pulled with everything I had, which was not much due to what Naomi put me through.
Naomi moved underneath me, her hand gripping my legs as her nails dug deep into my flesh, but nothing was going to stop me.
Naomi gasps, but her eyes turn to Elle. “Thank you,” she gasps as her body stops moving underneath me as I pull harder, which causes her neck to snap.
After a few seconds, I drop the chains and stare at her lifeless eyes of Naomi.
I killed her.
I killed the person who caused most of my pain growing up.
My head hurt, but I knew I had to move.
Someone would find me.
I looked up and noticed there was no one around.
I slowly moved up and away from Naomi’s body, and my eyes fixed on her.
As I get my bearings, I look over my shoulder toward the forest clearing.
I needed to get out of here.
I needed to get to the pack, I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew I needed to return. If Naomi were supposed to move or kill me, I would have been back in the pack grounds in five minutes, fifteen with my injuries.
I moved my eyes from Naomi’s dead body and moved toward the forest clearing, staggering toward it, and using the rest of my energy to get back my pack.
As I got closer, the stench of rotten eggs hit me hard, and I wanted to do was throw up. Once I shook my head, I breathed through my mouth, so I didn’t have to smell them.
Rogues were here, so that meant they were at my pack, which made a low growl escape my lips.
I needed to get there quickly.
I used everything I had to walk toward the stench; all I knew was I had to get to the pack fast.
LEX
The stench of blood fills the air; it makes it rotten to the core.
Everyone was either injured or dead.
Death has a horrible smell too, which I was met with as I killed every rogue that came at me.
Blaze and I stayed together, never letting his shift as we used our combined strength to take everyone down.
Blaze wanted out, but I didn’t want him to have all the fun. I wanted to be part of this, so we came up with being one. It worked better; due to being an alpha and Blaze’s strength and mine, we took out everyone who came at us with a flick of his claws.
Every pack member, whether in human or wolf form, fought and showed bravery.
More rogues came, and we fought, but every so often, I could feel a pack member lose their life; I could feel it through the pack link.
I wanted to protect everyone, but I knew I couldn’t.
I was only one man and wolf; I needed to stop this attack, and I knew how by killing the man who started it all.
I ripped another wolf apart but looked around and spotted Jason, who was in wolf form. He was fighting two wolves while Sofia was in human form, killing another with a knife.
I quickly shifted my focus and looked around when my eyes landed on Nathan and his father, Alpha Gareth, who were fighting more rogues than I could count.
It felt like we were being separated, but something told me something would happen soon. I watched as more rogues came toward me, but instead of attacking me, they started to circle me.
There had to be ten men, all growling.
It looked like Alpha Trevor picked the largest men he knew to fight me.
I growled, but one man decided to lunge at me. I quickly use my speed and rip out his throat as soon as I grip his neck.
Blaze and I weren’t playing with them; we wanted them gone.
We wanted to get to Roxie.
I kept up the fight between all ten, and after killing everyone, I glanced around and spotted my father with Alpha Dean. Both men were in their wolf forms and killing every rogue that came toward them, but I noticed they were being pushed back as they did with Nathan and Alpha Gareth.
I looked around when my eyes landed on Keith, who ripped out a wolf’s heart. His back was against another, which was hard for me to see. But a few seconds later, the other person came around before I looked away. It was Tim.
I never thought about fighting like that before.
I was about to move when a roar rippled through the air, making me look.
My eyes landed on Alpha Trevor, who was stocking toward me.
I looked around and noticed rogues had me surrounded again.
They formed a big circle around me.
Blaze growls.
I could feel him wanting out, but something hit me on the head, making me stumble forward.
I don’t know what it was, but I landed on my knee.
I growled.
I try to move, but rogues use that moment to attack and pin me down.
Blaze roars out, letting our aura slip past, but it doesn’t affect any rogues. That never happened before, but I guess they follow Alpha Trevor.
Feet and fists were hurling toward me as I was pushed down.
How the hell was I going to get out of this?
“I want out,” growled Blaze.
I could feel hands pulling me up as I was forced onto my knees.
I looked like a begging man, even though I wasn’t
I look up and realize that nine fully grown men are holding me back as Alpha Trevor walks toward me.
“Well, look at what I got,” he grins as he steps in front of me and stares.
“Shame my mate is not here to witness this,” he murmurs, which causes Blaze and I to growl out.
“She’s not yours,” I say through clenched teeth, moving to get free, but nails dig into my body as the men try to hold me in place.
Alpha Trevor laughed.
“She is mine,” he says as he calms himself down like he had told a joke. “Your mate is mine, and so is your pack. Everything you have is now mine. You can’t stop me.”
Alpha Trevor moves closer toward me as I struggle against the rogues.
I don’t know what smells worse, the rogues or the blood.
Everyone holding me was covered in blood from pack members they had fought against moments earlier.
“Tell your pack members to stand down,” Alpha Trevor called out. “Let them choose to be free and be with a better alpha than you.”
Murmurs were sweeping through the pack link. “DON’T SURRENDER ALPHA,” they yell. “WE WOULD RATHER DIE THAN BE PART OF HIS PACK.”
I felt every pack member fight through whatever they were doing.
I knew I had to fight back.
I knew I had to be their alpha, the alpha they truly needed.
“They will never follow you,” I say to him.
