Chapter 21
888 Words
It may have seemed like a suicide mission going to face a Pureblood pack with a ruthless Alpha but it didn't seem to phase any of them with Aerly and Niko leading a pack of wolves. Half from Raiden's pack the other half from Aerly's. The large honey-coloured woof stood in the back like any true alpha, especially for their journey. It may have been a neighbouring pack but it was still a few hours especially by foot but none the less they proceeded. The heavy paws bounding through the woods, thundering amongst the trees making their way closer and closer till they came to the border. The warriors parted with their heads bowed as the honey wolf walked past them all until the edge of the territory her body suddenly reshaping and shifting before them until the silver-eyed Alpha stood in the wolf's place. A warrior hurrying over with a coat to cover her to which she simply responded with a nod.
"Move-in" she spoke and at her word the wolves flooded across the border snarling and growling ready for a fight. Compared to some Julian's pack wasn't actually big and the foolish Alpha had surrounded himself with some loyal warriors but mostly omegas and human born wolves to serve him a vital mistake as they held no loyalty for the man. Aerly hadn't even met him and already disliked him immensely. "Niko" her voice was soft but she knew the Beta heard her "he's here" the words made the wolf stop in his tracks and suddenly changing to his human self.
"I thought you couldn't sense him?" Niko questioned as he stood in his human form beside her.
"Far away but close apparently I can..." she closed her eyes and breathed in a long breath "but I can sense him here."
"Let's go get my Alpha" he glanced to her "and your mate" the last thing the Beta said before transforming back and taking off across the border. Early fixed the jacket over her shoulders and let her arms slide into the sleeves before heading into the fight in her human form by the time she got closer most of the weaker wolves had bowed down not daring to fight. While warriors had attempted a fight which most had lost. Aerly knocked any wolf who attempted to attack her from her path, they didn't seem to stand much of a fight.
"What is the meaning of this?!" the voice echoed throughout the land as they all stood in an open field a few feet from a ridiculously large abode. As soon as she saw where the voice had come from she quickly gathered it was Julian, a slender tall, blonde with very similar features to Raiden. He held a smugness about him though that was enough to want to roll your eyes, he wasn't subtle like Raiden either even though Raiden was soon to be a powerful Alpha he wore it well Julian, however, was clearly overcompensating as he bared his gold fangs and matching gold clawed glove "what are you doing on my land?" the words caused everyone to halt he wasn't strong but still an Alpha and when one shouted loud enough it caused a stir to the average wolf it didn't help he was also a pureblood. Everyone besides Niko and Aerly stopped but the two began to approach Aerly's silver eyes examining him while the large white wolf trailed behind her with a snarl.
"My name is Aerly Rhodes, this is my pack" she introduced and the words didn't get by Niko.
"I see well Aerly, my am Julian Damery and this is my pack" he stepped down the marble steps of his so-called palace until he stood merely a few feet from the young Alpha "and what are you doing here gorgeous? Attempting to take over my pack?" he chuckled "because that isn't going to happen. This is my pack and a bunch of mixed blood mutts aren't going to take it from me."
"I'm here for what is mine" she spoke clearly not batting an eye at his threats "Eda and Genevieve Rowe and the wolves from their pack I want them back now" she ordered.
"That old fool and his wife" Julian began to laugh "an Alpha doesn't take orders a waste for a slave so I killed him."
"What?" Aerly snarled "how dare you."
"Oh snapping like that" he tutted as he began to step closer "must have been a relative hmm?"
"They are my grandparents" Aerly growled.
"To bad" he laughed again.
"I want my grandmother back along with her pack" his eyebrow began to raise at her demands "and I want my mate."
"You're mate? You're saying I have your mate now. My, my quite some accusations coming from you" Julian more seemed amused at her anger.
"I know you have him Raiden Damery--"
"Ah so my cousin has a mate how interesting" Julian's eyes lingered over all the wolves before a smirk began to form on his lips "how about this pretty little wolf, I will make you a deal so no one gets hurt. I will return what you're asking for but only if you win a fight against my strongest warrior" Julian extended his ungloved hand while he held her gaze that smirk remaining as he waited for her answer.
Aerly reached out taking his hand in a firm grip "deal."
