As he gives James a play by play on what’s happening inside he rushes forward, smashes through the door and down the hall to his car, James tells him to hold while he links his team to rally on The Lair, briefly sharing what Tony had shared. Getting back to him he listens through their link to the chaos, trying to pinpoint voices and get a feel for what he’s about to walk in on. 5 minutes later he screeches to a halt in front of the main entrance and he’s not surprised to see unknown characters loitering outside, seeming to want to slow his approach.
The moment James step out they rush him. Idiots, don't they know who I am? with ease he eliminates the first two guys that jump him, the others stepping up, insistent on delaying his entrance to his club. The King half shifts, something only the strongest bloodlines of Lykens can achieve. It allows for even more strength without completely ruining your outfit, not that he minded that at this moment in time, but he needs to be mindful, he is going to walk into the club in a few minutes, no use flashing half the neighbourhood in his naked state. Eliminating one after the other wolf outside the door he grow restless, and then Tony informs him that she is gone. His heart stops for a second and he looses control, slashing and ripping, ending the guys around him in less than a second. He is done playing nice....
Smashing through the Huge solid wood doors of The Lair with a roar that makes every man and woman drop to the ground, shifter and human alike. The king's men peel out of the SUVs as they are coming to a stop, and they filter into the room as soon as the doors are open. They scan the area and rush in restraining the mass of masked men trying to escape. Shouts and chaos erupting again as they all bolt up and shift, running for the exits. Wolfs... Alex... my chest tightening, where is she? Where is Jaxi?
Madam steps out from besides the staircase wall. When she locks eyes with James, she nods, and he know. Jaxi is safe. He roar again in exasperation and relief, and the sound thunders through the building, reverberating through the solid structure, everything goes silent again. His team rounding op the masked men and dragging them before him, angry beyond limit for the invasion of his club again, and the threat to Jaxi and Madam again, he growl as their faces are revealed when their masks are removed. First instincts were on the spot...my brother's Mercenary team. He am so angry his beast simply takes over and wastes no time eliminating them, shredding their necks, knowing very well that they will give him nothing, so he don't even bother asking.
The humans that were present had all been killed in the chaos that unfurled before he arrived, and unfortunately they will have to deal with that soon, but not before he checks on her, and make sure she is ok. Shifter patrons who were on the floor after his entrance slowly got up and are now scurrying away, trying to get out through any open door and exit. James's heart is racing, furry rife in his blood, his eyes still glowing blue and gold as he tries to reign in his emotions. She is safe, I can calm down, no use scaring all my customers away.
Movement to his left draws his attention to a man, slinking in the shadows moving towards the window, his sent that of the treacherous Sam. James leaps in his direction, landing next to him the same time as Tony stretches out his hand and grips him by the neck. He growls at him and he drops Sam instantly, bowing his head quick before taking a step back. Stepping right up to Sam he towers over his huge body, and he presses his presence onto him, his Royal alpha power suffocating. He tries to resist, glaring at me, not breaking eye contact, even with his legs wobbling, eyes flashing, mouth quivering, so James increases the pressure a fraction, not wanting to kill him with it, just wanting to establish the hierarchy so he knows who is in control here..., and he drops, submitting, almost belly up, so pathetic. How did this traitor get into the Royal ranks? But before he can ask Sam starts mumbling and apologizing, gushing about every traitor in his organization including the 2nd in command of the trade businesses, who evidently is responsible for the hiring of all the traitors. James links Tony to go pick him up, then steps away and turns to check on Madam when the flash catches his eye, Tony however is already mid air and as James turns and stumble back he lands and sinks his teeth into Sam's throat and rips it out.
The weapon in Sam's hand falling to the floor, and James's eyes go wide, its Alex's jewelled dagger, the one our father had gifted us each on our 18th birthday. No doubt remains in his mind as to where this war is heading if he can't put a stop to it.
Tony leaves to collect his target, and James turns to meet Madam Tessa's eyes, a light smirk on her face confirms his thoughts, I definitely made a mess. Dropping his gaze to move over the pools of blood at his feet, and he smirks in return, shrugging lightly before moving in her direction. However a slight shake of her head halts his approach, and then he hears it, the drum beat of a racing heart, the gasps for air...his eyes move to the door...I can smell the stench of fear and the barely audible clattering of teeth vibrates through the air. She is right behind the door, frightened and shaking. I can just imagine the thoughts running through her head, memories of the attack 5 years ago probably replaying in her mind.
Despite it all, at least she is safe. For now...
James inclines his head towards the door and then nods towards Madam. She bows and silently pledges to continue her guardianship over Jaxi. James nods in acknowledgement, turning and walking to the door where he paused and informed her that they will rebuild and he will take care of the threats, then moves to walk out into the night as his men remain behind, guarding and watching over them and what is left of the club.
He hears Madam open the door where the girl was hiding "You are safe darling" she says reassuring her if her safety. Looking back over his shoulder he catches his first look at the raven girl, She is a beautiful mess, and his heart leaps, his blood heats and his mouth goes bine dry, his beast howling and whining in his head, astonished at the reaction of his beast to the raven beauty, he just stares after them, taking in every inches of her, committing it to memory. She is strong, and although you can smell the fear rolling if her, there is a determined look in her eyes, a spirit that can't be put down. And for once in his life, he feels the need to protect something other than himself, but why? He doesn't understand. His beast roars and growls at the thought of something happening to Jaxi. For the life of him, he can't comprehend, nothing has ever affected his beast this way, but he will make sure she stays safe...for the both of them.
