The Alpha's Claim

Chapter 3: Claimed

Ellio is yet to process the fact that he was kidn*pped, chased by kidnappers, finding a portal, entering it and suddenly appearing in this world and now.. a group of leaders wants to kill him. How messy his life can be?

"Come on. We need to go," Pawn orders.

"I'll come too," Kerry says.

"Stay here, Kerry. We don't want our Luna in danger."

"I said I'll go too," she insisted and what the Luna of the pack says must be done.

Pawn can only sigh in defeat. He then drags Ellio out of the door with Kerry following them.

The door led them to a staircase leading to the back of the castle. They started running and Ellio can only follow too even if his bloody knees are about to collapse.

"Why the hell would those leaders want to kill me?! Did I commit some kind of crime for me to deserve death?!" He shouted but the wolves kept running.

They were going fast and Ellio, a mere human who just went through kilometers of running with bloody knees, was going slow.

"Hey, wait up- Aghh!" he tripped to the ground, getting the attention of the two wolves.

"I'll carry him on my back." Kerry decided.

"No. I'll do it." Pawn said and in a blink of an eye, his clothes ripped and he shifted into a huge black wolf making Ellio's mouth gaped open. His eyes rolled at the back of his head and if not only for the wolf's kick on his knees he could've fainted already.

"Get on his back! Quick!" Kerry demanded.

"No, there's no way I could- Aaaaaa!!" he screamed in shock when Pawn leaned down his wolf head in the middle of his legs before throwing him at his back.

"Hold onto him!" Kerry said before shifting into a white wolf. Now, Ellio just wants all of this to be a dream and that he would be waking up anytime soon.

"Where should I hold-OH MY FÙCKING GOD!" he screams once again, when Pawn starts to run. He's holding onto the wolves black fur while non stop screaming on the top of his lungs. "Oh Gosh! This is not happening! What kind of dream is this! Can someone just fùcking wake me up! I'm not liking this anymore!"

"This is not a dream, little man."

Ellio's eyes widened in shock when someone whispered in his ear. When he looks at his side he finds a floating black fog, following them. "What the fùck are you?!" In panic, he slaps the fog and was hoping for his hand to pass through it but it hit a solid face instead, making him freak out again. "AAAAAAAA!"

"Pawn, the demons!" Kerry shouts and Pawn runs faster.

Ellio's grip on the wolf's fur tightened, almost pulling it out from Pawn's skin. The black wolf couldn't do anything but to bear the pain.

Ellio suddenly floated in the air when a huge blue bird suddenly caught the collar at his back using its claws.

"The phoenix caught him!" Pawn exclaimed but can only run after the flying phoenix.

"AAAAAA! Help me! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna fùcking die!" He repeatedly screams those words as he wriggles both of his feet while floating on the air.

"You're one noisy human." With shock filling him, Ellio looks up to the bluebird as he hears him talk. Worse, it smiled at him. "Hey, bro! Catch!"

"AAAAAAAAA!" Ellio almost lost his voice when the blue phoenix threw him towards another phoenix, a white one.

The white bird catches him as it flies down near the ground, teasing the two running wolves.

"Look what we got, dogs!" the blue teases as it flies together with the white one.

Pawn took that opportunity to jump high and pull Ellio. His fangs caught Ellio's pants, dragging the flying phoenix in the process.

"Fùck! My pants! This cost me millions of freaking dollars!" He cries but it is not that long when another teleporting man grabs and steals him from the phoenix's claws and the black wolf's fangs.

In a split second, a man in black is already holding Ellio bridal style. It was running so fast that he cannot have a clear vision of the surroundings anymore. Everything went abstract due to the speed. The man looked down at him with those red eyes before smirking, making his fangs visible.

"AAAAAAAAH! Let go of me!" In a hand as strong as ten palms combined, Ellio slapped him that made the vampire stop in an instant. His vision went turning and Ellio took that opportunity to break free from his hold.

But it wasn't that long when the vampire recovered from the attack, he immediately teleported right in front of the running human.

"Going anywhere, my love?" he smirks as he caress Ellio's elbow

"Get away from me!" He swings his elbow away from the vampire's hold but due to his long and pointed nails, it scratches Ellio's skin enough to draw drips of blood out.

Smelling a human's blood after years of being trapped made the vampire lose his sanity. His eyes transformed into a darker shade of red and his fangs started to show.

In fear, Ellio steps backward as the vampire slowly steps closer to him.

"Don't come near m-me.. I'm warning you..!"

"Hmmm.. it has been so long since I've smelled a human blood." the vampire closes his eyes and spoils himself with smell. "I didn't know that it could smell so good. You must be a special kind." he suddenly teleported close to Ellio's ears. "Do you mind if I had a taste?"

He then positions his fangs to Ellio's neck, ready to bite but when he was already just a few seconds away from sucking that high class blood, a strong hand grabbed him by the back collar before throwing him effortlessly towards the trunk of a tree.

A familiar man looked at the quivering and scared Ellio.

"X-Xorran.."

"You're a troublemaker, human." He says and grabs Ellio by the hips making him yelp. "A few hours from your arrival and look at what's happening in our dimension."

Ellio followed where Xorran is looking at and his lips parted together with the widening of his eyes upon seeing what was happening.

A group of flying phoenixes, a bunch of two-horned demons, and numerous red-eyed vampires are in front of them. Their deadly stares were enough to make Ellio's knees go trembling that he had to hold onto Xorran's arms for support.

The wolves behind them, together with Pawn and Kerry, were alarmed upon seeing the human touch their Alpha but Xorran's single glance at them was enough to make them halt from their plans of attacking.

"W-What's.. what's happening..?" Ellio asks, scared for his life. "Who.. w-what.. what are they..?Are they gonna kill me..?" Xorran looks at him. "Save me.. s-save me, Xorran.. I c-can't die.. I can't.. p-please.."

The leader of the vampires, the twin phoenix, now in their original form, and the demon with horns steps closer to the two.

"It's my first time seeing a human!" the blue phoenix says. "He's gorgeous I want to keep him! We have to keep him, brother!" he grabs his twin brother's arm excitedly. "It would be fun having him in our nests! We could play the whole day!"

"..." the other one remained silent.

Ellio was shocked by his childishness and confused at the same time because of the cold stare the other is giving him.

"Shut up, you dumb bird!" the demon shouted at them before facing Ellio

"Hand over the human, Xorran. Don't make this hard for us." the demon demanded.

With a sigh, Xorran takes one step forward and positions Ellio behind him. It was an act of protection that made the leaders confused and shocked including all the other species who are watching.

"What do you think you're doing?!" the not-so-patient demon once again exclaimed. "I said hand him over!"

"What a shame.." Ellio gasped when the vampire suddenly teleported to his side before going back in front of them again. "I was hoping I could get a single drop of blood from him."

"Keep your distance if you don't want me to throw you again, Salem." Xorran threatens and pushes the vampire away making him step back a little.

Salem chuckles in amusement. "I didn't know that you've taken interest in humans now, Xorran."

"We have rules in this dimension." the demon. "Humans are supposed to be executed once they step foot in our world. Have you forgotten, Xorran?!"

Ellio gulps and his hold on Xorran's upper clothing tightened.

"You are inside the first dimension, my dimension, and the law here is me and my words so you have no right to demand, Damascus," Xorran says with authority and power, making not just the demon but almost everyone flinch. "All of you trespassed the boundary and entered without my permission, I could execute you and the rest of your species because of that."

"Is this a declaration of war, Xorran?!" the demon shouts as he steps closer to the Alpha.

"If you wish for it." Xorran smirks and everyone gasps, especially his pack.

A transparent orb suddenly surrounds the leaders to prevent their species from attacking, it was Damascus' power. This is a war between leaders, they don't want their clans to get involved.

Salem was very much pleased and with an amused smirk, he teleported and grabbed Ellio away from the distracted Xorran who is having a fight with the demon.

"AAAHHHH! No! Don't touch me!" Ellio tries to remove the vampire's hand from his neck.

"Just one bite, human."

The blue phoenix shifts and steals Ellio from the vampire's hold. "Get her, bro!" he then throws him to the white phoenix who traps Ellio inside of his wings.

"Fùck! It's so dark in here!" Ellio tries to get out from the phoenix. "Eww! I hate birds!" he kicks the phoenix in the middle on the stomach, making the bird freeze in pain.

Ellio took that opportunity to break free from the phoenix.

Xorran eyes Ellio and he knew this is his chance. With a strong punch, Xorran hits the demon on the stomach making it fly against the orb resulting in the cracking of its ribs.

He then runs to protect Ellio but the vampire is fast to teleport and strangled his neck using one arm.

"Let him go," Xorran demands with gritted teeth, his wolf eyes are threatening.

"Come on, Xorran." Salem smirks

"One small bite won't hur―"

Xorran had lost all his patience with all this fighting. Using his godly powers, an invisible force came slashing the vampire's arms. It wounded the vampire and drips of blood came out from the slashed area. It was painful making him release the human. The alpha was fast to grab Ellio by the hand.

"This is unacceptable! I'm going to kill him!" the demon exclaimed!

"We're taking him home!" the phoenix

"All I want is a single bite." the vampire says. His wounds are now healing.

The leaders were frustrated and mad. The demon wants her dead, the phoenix wants a play toy and the vampire is hungry for his blood. All of them went running towards Ellio and Xorran in all directions. With the invisible orb trapping them inside, they have nowhere to go.

"X-Xorran.." the moment Ellio calls the Alpha and looks up to him with those fear-filled and teary eyes, everything went slow-mo. "I'm s-scared.."

Staring at those familiar eyes, the Alpha felt a sudden feeling staring at him, a strange one and it was the first time he ever felt this. It's something he couldn't explain but there is one thing he is sure of, he needs to protect this human at all costs.

..and right at that moment, Xorran knew he had no other choice...

The Alpha grabs the human by the hips and pulls him, closing the gap between them.

The wolves who know what their Alpha is planning to do widen their eyes in shock.

"Is he.. going to.." Kerry says, scared about what's going to happen next. She has his palm covering her mouth.

"No.." Pawn says who starts to panic. "There's no way he would!" He suddenly runs towards the orb. He tries to enter but an invisible force forbids him. He smashes his hand against it in hopes of breaking the orb but it was too powerful for a mere wolf to break it.

"Xorran what are you.." Ellio was confused, staring at the Alpha whose hazel eyes were looking back at him.

"I have to protect you. Forgive me." Xorran responded but it just added to Elio's confusion.

"No! Xorran! You can't do that! YOU CAN'T XORRAN!" Pawn nonstop punches the orb but it was useless. "Stop, Alpha! STOP! YOU CAN NOT CLAIM HIM!"

Upon hearing those words, Xorran caressed Ellio's face and stared at her eye to eye. The Alpha's hazel eyes dilated and it was mesmerizing to look at.

At that very moment, Ellio felt a sudden connection between them. Xorran then leans down and smacks their lips together. Ellio closes his eyes as his lips start to move on their own and kisses back.

In the middle of the kiss, a black tattoo suddenly appears on his forehead, an image that symbolizes that he is now the Alpha's...

"Claim.. my claim.."
