The Alpha King (The Rogue Queen)

Chapter 2

Five Years Earlier.

Massive braziers encircling each of the eight sandstone columns light up the lower levels of the throne hall and engulf everything in a flickering radiance. The artistic depictions of legends on the arched ceiling dance in the flickering light while carved images look down upon the obsidian floor of this ceremonious all.An onyx rug runs down from the throne and splits to encircle the entire hall while rounded banners with embellished decorations swing gently from the walls.

Between each banner stand several tapers of various sizes, almost all of them have been lit and in turn illuminate the sculptures of heroes and leaders below them.Thick, tinted glass windows are edged by drapes colored the same onyx as the banners. The curtains have been adorned with embellished borders and fine patterns.

A radiant throne of granite sits atop an elevated platform and is adjoined by two almost identical seats for those closest to the royal highness.The throne is covered in symbolic illustrations and fi9xed on each of the broad feet is an elegant demon wing, with two spears hung at the back of the throne.The broad pillows are a dark onyx and these too have been adorned with embellished tips.

Those wishing to listen to their royal highness can do so on the abundance of long and rather bulky iron benches, all of which are facing the throne in a V-shape. Those of higher standing can instead take a seat in the rather plain mezzanines overlooking the entire hall. Seated on the huge granite throne was a young petite lady, dressed in a black flowing gown, a crown of wolf and raven on her head, her left hand which was covered in black ink, but was the darkness in her was placed on the huge throw pillows by the side, she drummed her fingers on the huge throw pillows, a stoic look on her face, as she listened to the complaints of her betas from her other packs all over USA.

The highest of reports and complaints was the fact that sadistic alphas didn’t want to release the rogues they captured, be it a wolf, vamps, or other mythical creatures, this infuriated Bella the most, the elders had already granted her the power to be in control of rogues as she was adamant on taking care of the rogues-also with the help of manipulation powers.“These alphas are becoming a pain in my ass” she groaned inwardly.“You might as well add their f*****g ass of a king” her dark side spoke in a groggy voice.“Shut it Thanos” her wolf, Nyx warned.“What’s with you and that mutt?” her vampire side, Damon asked in an amused voice.``What is with you and that filthy blood you drink?” Nyx shot back at Damon. He chuckled at her failed attempt to throw a comeback at him.

These two creatures bickered at each other, while Thanos chuckled darkly waiting for the storm that was to come. The two creatures' bickers were starting to upset Bella a lot, she gripped her throne arm rest and her eyes darkened in anger, her calm aura changed, and the throne room became silent as fear gripped every single soul in the room.Bella Nyx losing her calm was great havoc.``My time to shine'' Thanos smiled evilly as black threads left Bella’s body, he has been waiting for this moment, to show this beta what he was capable of. And what better moment could it be if not when Bella got upset, it was a rare trait to see Bella upset publicly, she always kept her emotions in check.Every single emotion.

“SHUT THE HELL UP OR I’LL MAKE SURE YOU STAY HIDDEN IN MY MIND FOR AS LONG AS I WANT” Bella’s voice bellowed ferociously in her head, her other halves shivered in fear, and even her demon shivered at the power in her voice, the clouds darkened as the queen was out to play. She had a lot at stake and her other halves were bickering, she couldn’t take it, her eyes flickered from brown to black as she was trying to hold back her dark side, and her aura was starting to choke the wolves and other creatures in the throne room as they couldn’t stand her dark aura.Her beta, Elena, came up to her and rubbed her back a little, the black thread-like smoke wrapped around her hand and tried to seize her blood flow as they saw her as a threat to their queen.Her choked cry alerts Bella from her dark abyss, and her eyes start to clear, she forces her dark side in and the whole environment brightens up.

Everyone in the throne room heaves a sigh of relief; they wondered what the reason for her sudden outburst was, but nevertheless, they were glad it was resolved.Her other halves retracted to the back of her mind, and her dark side chuckled with delight; ‘whose is the boss now’ he thought to himself.“Pardon me for my outburst, you may continue” she said in a loud voice addressing the crowd.

No one speaks up and Bella frowned deeply, she knew they feared her but was her outburst that bad? She asked herself. “Beta Sander, you sent a report to me last two weeks about a rogue attack at your territory and also about rebellious rogues, I sent a few of my warriors to recruit the rebellious ones and also to sort out the rogue attack, it was solved and you never got back to me to tell me the situation of your pack, why?” Bella asked in a deadly calm voice.“Alpha, I had forgotten about it since it was solved, pardon me for I didn’t think it was important, and didn’t want to disturb your peace, your highness,” Alpha Sander said in an apologetic voice, his head bowed.“You are pardoned” she said calmly.``Next time in'' Bella is cut off by the sudden push on the throne room door, a panting guard rushes in through the doors, sweat dripping from his face.``Your Highness, we have a breach at the pack border.

Apparently, five alphas’ has waged war against us, unannounced, and they also have the support of the royal warriors from the Alpha king ....” “What?!!” Her beta and gamma exclaim.``Continue” Bella said, her facial expression not giving out any emotions. “They also have rogues with them” The guard finally says in between pants.``Is the Alpha king present” Bella asked.“No,” the guard replied.

``Have the people been safely guarded, are they indoors? Protected? Are they?” Bella asked, finally looking up at the guard.``That has been done at the moment, Alpha” the guard replied.``Good, leave here and get them to safety” she commanded, the guard rushed out immediately, not waiting a second.“No one is to leave this throne room for any reason, is that understood?” Bella said in her alpha tone.

``But….” “I said no one,” Bella said with finality in her voice and stood up from her throne she walked majestically out of the throne room and faced it once the door was shut.``Thy door be locked till I command not” she said in Latin, her eyes closed, a black smoke covers the door before disappearing, she walks out of her palace and does the same protective shield to the whole palace, she makes it invisible to the eyes of all, the witch couldn’t see nor cast a spell to, even thy animals couldn’t see nor could the birds be able to perch on it.“Oh earth, come with me let’s fight those who came to destroy us” she commanded the earth in Latin, long green vines erupt from the earth and wrap themselves around her waist and hands, they carried her to the pack border, and placed her softly on the ground, the retracted from her and went back to the earth waiting to be summoned again.

The alphas were still trying to breach the protective shield she had placed on her pack border; she chuckled inwardly, ‘typically Alpha males” She cloaked herself with her darkness and removed the protective shield on her pack border.

LET THE GAME BEGIN._________War cries filled the forest clearing, as dead bodies filled the forest, the wolves bared their teeth at a lady dressed in a black flowing dress, blood-stained, but not a tear on it, her crown was still intact, her long raven black hair that was being held back by a hair clip was still intact, the huge army that had come to fight her was almost reduced to dust, the five alphas were now remaining with the royal war wolves.

Of the royal wolves were several forty, twenty were in wolf form, while the remaining twenty were in human form, these wolves were scary looking, their muscles rippled within their furs, their teeth bared with saliva dripping from their jaws.Their eyes striking red ready to attack at any moment, the five alphas stood behind the protection of the human royal wolf guard.Bella looked at them with a bored look, her target was the five alphas that dared to infiltrate, to destroy her pack. Her home.

The twenty royal warriors in wolf form rushed to attack Bella all at once, it all went in slow motion, Bella raised her hands and the wolves hung in the air, she raised them with their hands and smiled sinisterly, and black smoke starts emitting from her body, they left her body and formed a replica of herself, it stood beside her, waiting for her command.The black smoke keeps leaving her body and turns into dark threads, hovering around her.“Come to my babies, I have a good gift for you” she spoke to the thread-smoke around her, they wrapped around her ready to do her bidding.“SHIFT” she commanded the wolves in a deadly tone. They all change in sync.“Choke them, my babies, leave them unconscious, and don’t show mercy to those who resist you” she commands them; the black thread leaves her body and wraps itself around the wolves’ necks, choking them.Bella’s eyes were now pure black, she was now one with the darkness, her skin glistened as the setting sun shone on it, and her split self stood at her side ready to protect its other half.

The remaining royal guards were gripped with fear, likewise, the five alphas decided to wage war on the ‘Rogue pack’.“I’m giving you one last chance to leave this pack before it’s too late” Bella and her split self said at once their voice deadly.The royal guards visibly gulped and looked at their leading alphas, as proud as sadistic alphas could be they still went on to sign their death away.“We fight till our last breath” one of the alphas yelled and the others followed, saying a ‘yes’ to his command.The royal shoulders did as commanded and went to fight Bella.“Let’s make this fight slow and fun” Bella said sinisterly and her split self smiled an evil smile with a nod of her head, they both started fighting her split self following her every move.

Meanwhile, as Bella and her split self fought the coming wolves, one of the alpha’s sneaked behind Bella with a dagger laced with wolf bane, right when he was about to strike, a snow-white wolf appears from nowhere and bites his head off.Bella smiles evilly at the wolf and winked at it, the wolf walks up to her side and stood beside her, ready to strike, Bella and herb split self had finished off the remaining royal wolves, it was now Bella and the remaining four alpha.

“You alphas are so proud, sadistic, wicked, heartless and most of all stupid” Bella said her voice ice cold.“Such set of men aren’t meant to exist, now I’m going to give you four, marks that are going to stick to you for the rest of your life, a mark that would stay visible to the eyes of all, you would always see it and remember what caused it, my face shall haunt your dreams, but be blurry in your memories, you shall know of me but you shall not know of my abilities, but it would be forever in your memory that I defeated you”

A loud s***h echoed through the forest and the four alphas fell with a thud of blood dripping from their faces.
