Alpha Killian and Alpha Damien, who had been moments away from tearing each other apart, now turned in unison to face the new threat.
My heart pounded in my chest as I took a step back, my instincts screaming at me.
Silas wasn't here to negotiate.
He was here to take me.
“I don't care about your pathetic squabbles,” Alpha Silas said, his gaze flickering between the two brothers with a look of amusement. “The Moon goddess has given me my answers. That girl,” he pointed at me. “She is the key to power beyond anything the werewolf world has ever seen.”
He took a menacing step forward. “And I'm here to claim her.”
The room exploded into chaos.
Alpha Killian let out a feral growl, his canines lengthening as he stepped in front of me, his entire body tensed like a predator ready to kill.
Alpha Damien, too, shifted slightly, his golden eyes narrowing as he positioned himself at my side.
Two rivals, but at this moment, United against a common enemy.
“You've made a grave mistake coming here Silas,” Alpha Killian warned, his voice low and deadly.
Alpha Silas merely smirked. “Have I?”
A snarl ripped through the air as Silas pack shifted to their wolf form.
And in an instant, the first strike of war was made.
The room erupted into war.
Alpha Killian was the first to move, a blur of deadly forces as he launched at the nearest warrior from Alpha Silas’s pack. His claws sliced through flesh, a sickening growl ripping from his throat as blood splattered across the stone floor.
Alpha Damien followed in an instant, graceful yet brutal dodging an incoming attack before delivering a lethal blow to a warrior's throat, sending him crashing to the ground.
Alpha Silas laughed darkly, watching the chaos unfold. “Fools,” he sneered. “You think you can protect her from me?”
His pack surged forward.
The clash of teeth and claws, the roar of Alphas, and the snarls of warriors filled the air.
My packs, though caught off guard, refuses to stand down. Warriors shifted mid air, fur bursting through their skin as they joined the battle, defending their Alpha's daughter.
I stood frozen for a moment, overwhelmed, terrified, but something inside me
…Stirred.
A power.
Something deep and untamed.
I gasped as my tattoos burned, a searing heat pulsing through my back. My vision blurred, and for a moment, it felt as if the world around me slowed.
Alpha Silas's gaze snapped to me . He could sense it.
“She's awakening,” he murmured, his crimson eyes gleaming with something dangerous. “It's starting.”
Before anyone could notice, he lunged straight for me.
My heart stopped.
Alpha Killian and Damien saw him too late.
Alpha Silas was faster.
His claws were mere inches away from my throat.
And then.
My father, Alpha Gregory appeared from nowhere with an untanned energy , as he landed a powerful punch at Alpha Silas.
Alpha Killian and Alpha Damien staggered, their eyes wide with shock.
The entire hall fell into stunned silence.
And standing at the center of it all, my body glowing with an ethereal aura, I was.
My power had awakened in me.
And nothing would ever be the same again.
