THE EXPOSURE

1327 Words
He ran. Not slow. Not patrol speed. Full sprint through the snow. Black plate, red cloak flying. His gut was twisting. Selene. Something with Selene. The camp was quiet when he got close. Too quiet. No fires. No guards at the gate. Then he heard it. From the tree line off the main path. Rustling from leaves and bushes , he steps closer and closer Breathing. Wet. Moaning. Wolfstain stopped dead. No. Not here. Not them. He moved silent. Every step felt like walking to his own grave. Hand on dagger. Heart hammering for the first time in 3 hours. The bushes parted. *Selene.* His Luna. On her back in the snow. Hair spread out like a dead queen. Silver eyes closed. *Ryker.* On top of her. His best friend. The boy he taught to throw a punch. The man whom he entrusted the Luna safety on Ryker's hands were on her. Her nails were in his back. They didn't hear him. Too busy celebrating the war without him. The world went silent. No rage. Not yet. Just the sound of something breaking inside his chest. Selene's eyes snapped open. Saw him. _“Wolfstain—”_ Panic. Guilt. Ryker turned his head. Slow. Saw him. And didn't even get off her. Just smirked. Blood on his mouth. Not his. Hers. _“Alpha,”_ Ryker said. Still breathing hard. _“You're early. We were gonna tell you after the feast.”_ After the feast. After pretending. After stabbing him in the back. Wolfstain didn't speak. veins crawled up his neck. His claws came out. Selene scrambled, grabbing furs. _“It wasn't my choice! He said you were getting too powerful! That the pack needed—”_ _“Shut. Up.”_ One word. It froze the air. He looked at Ryker. The scar over his eye. From when Wolfstain took a blade for him 8 years ago. _“I raised you,”_ Wolfstain said. Quiet. Deadly. _“I gave you everything.”_ Ryker stood. Finally. Didn't cover himself. _“And you taught me, brother. That a real Alpha takes what he wants.”_ He glanced at Selene. _“Including her.”_ That was it. Wolfstain moved. Grabbed Ryker by the throat. Lifted him. Slammed him into the nearest tree. Crack. _“You will never touch her again. You will never speak to me again.”_ He dropped him and turned away. Behind him: Selene sobbing, you choose your mistress over me now I am the one to blame?Ryker laughing, coughing blood. _“You should’ve killed me when you had the chance.I taught you would die from the war turns out you survived like always . Wolfastain was about to walk towards him then he heard close walking footsteps and turns…it was Selene holding a bottle of wine in her hands while offering Ryker wine in glass , he didn’t hesitate to take it from her as he said : alpha we planed to celebrate alone but since you are here , we should celebrate with you too . Wolfastain was still in shock and in pains, the kind of anger that boils your blood, ryker and Selene were like children in front of him since when did they become this bold were is the audacity coming from . WOLFASTAIN: Selene you are a part of this? After all that we have shared. Selene: you had a mistress Wolfastain who your son calls mommy, you think I don’t have a problem with that? At least with you gone out of my life , all ways will be opened for me to glory He heard her words it stab him through his heart ‘ she wants me gone?’ This thought races through his head , he couldn’t figure out what to say. Then out of rage he roared and dash to ryker with a heavy kick catching him off guard as he collapsed to a wall helpless Wolfastain followed him with two swift punches before ryker catches the third and kicks Wolfastain with both off his foot sending his flying across the bushes . Ryker gets up and gave a loud howling … the bushes starting rustling and the ground made little rumbling noises , rogues appeared in sight running to Ryker position. Wolfastain stares at them surprise; it was a set up and ambush just Incase , then I screamed out to her ..Selene ! You plan this with the rogues? You were with them all along just to get me out because of what exactly hnn ?… tell me! Jealousy or just pure hatred! Ryker : I suggest you save all that energy of yours , there are bigger problems now I’m expecting some entertainment from you . The rogues encircled me , ten in numbers , this was over then I quickly started transforming, muscles enlarging tearing off my shirts head and jaws enlarges , fur grow out , eyes turning blood red , sharp fangs and claws growing out intensely , then I roared out loud the tree leaves shakes ,the rogues hesitated for a bit froze and so were ryker and Selene they were intimidated , I was bigger than them looking stronger than anything around. I took the opportunity and move with absolute speed slicing one rogues throat with my claw, blood goosing out instantly he drops dead The other rogues sprang into action instantly as they see their brother fall . The Closest one close to the dead rogue swiftly swings his sword above towards my head , I caught his sword in an instant with both hands snapping it apart he was so terrified from the scene that he didn’t know when I drove the half blade to his throat . Then another closed in behind me , he was a bit fast almost had me but I react faster hiting him so hard in the jaw his neck snapped and he was dead . Another one limped towards me with his claw , I caught him by the throat then rooted his head out with brute strength. I felt a sharp claw in my back another two charges in my front front , They were closer now, I quickly kicked the one from behind me backwards he flew and hit few others from behind then I threw the head in my hand very hard to the rogues in close range it crush ones skull opened his drops dead as another cut up with me Then another came and another and more of them , it was a hell of a fight I was rushed, cut but I countered each attack precisely, cutting through the tight spot . I thought to my self ; the alpha was right , my instincts were right , all these for what exactly, who is doing this to me? My Luna ? The one I once loved ? No! Nooooo!. I snapped raged in my eyes , the remaining rogues were skilled trying to hold ground with me , even when they were injured. One held my left hand his grip was strong and tight and another quickly bite me on the shoulder from behind , one rogue quick charge me with his sword . I was enraged again this time, it was desperately grim , I hold his sword and kicked him to the ground then ran the sword to rogue eyes who is still biting me on the shoulder , he drops then I pulled the swords and swung to to the one holding my left hand , he quickly loosen his grip and docked and rolled away just before the sword could have his way . The rogue on the ground regained composure about to get up I didn’t let him as I swing the sword down his shoulder cutting bones to stomach.
