The Attack
Xander POV
Sound the alarm! I shift into my beast amd run by the side of my Alpha, Craven. Through the forest all that can be heard are the howls of our warriors and the thundering of our paws as they slam on the ground.
As we break the tree lune we can see the "army" of rogues that have been terrorizing our pack. They have been taking our pack members when they are alone always outnumbering them, those damn cowards we finally got them.
With all the fury and pain of those we have lost we start leaping and slamming into them ripping them to shreds. I am by Craven's side while we make our way to their leader. Five warriors stand before us, 3 shifted into wolves and 2 in human form. We never slowed our pace and continued to charge towards them, they will not escape the wrath of the Selenophile Pack.
Alpha swung his paw and smashed a mans head to the ground crushing it, as he leaped in the air and ripped a wolfs neck. Two wolves charging at me from different directions, I shifted into my human form leaving my claws extended. The transformation caught them off guard, because who in their right mind would shift into their human form in the middle of a wolf fight. That was my opening, that second of hesitation was enough, with a smirk as they pounced, I crashed my hands through their chest anf pulled out their hearts, dropping them to the ground in one swift motion. I shifted back and continued to move forward.
Craven slightly ahead of me, we made it to the leader. A menacing growl erupted from my Alpha, when we noticed the leader preparing for an escape. How f*cking dare you, Craven already in his human form boomed.
Stunned the leader turned around a look of shock in his eyes, I guess he couldn't believe we made it to him so fast. We strode towards him, he had no where left to run. Craven grabbed him by the neck and started to punch him in the face over and over, dropped him to the ground as if disgusted by hos blood.
He then grabbed him by the hair and dragging him outside and yelled for all to hear "May this be a warning to any who dare threaten my pack". He grabbed the leaders head and pulled it clean off of his body, tossing it over to the muddle of the battle field. Neutralize them all, no survivors no mercy.
We make our way back to the pack house, there were a few wounded warriors but none fatally injured. As the medics tend to those in need the Alpha ordered all remaining warriors to split into teams and search the territory.
Craven linked me to head to his office he was still on edge. He continued to passe around the office telling me something felt wrong. A few hours had gone by while we assessed every little detail of the battle.
It hit me lule a ton of bricks, Alpha how many did you take down prior to reaching their leader? Two, he answered and I took down 2 wolves. There were 5 where did the unshifted man go? Alpha's eyes opened wide, F*ck! he escaped. No other warriors have reached the area we were on yet. He used the chaos as a diversion and made a run for it.
There were rumors of a Rogue Alpha, who was set to destroy all packs and that all rogues fell under his leadership. If this is true we might have a war on our hands. Craven slammed his hands on his desk with all his might breaking it in half.
Rogues tend to be outcast, lowlifes. They are wolves who left the pack they belonged to or were kicked out for grave offenses. The vast majority are those who have committed grave offenses, not many survive being lone wolves.
We don't tend to involve ourselves with rogues, but they were harming our pack members amd we took them out. Even if these rogues were not directly associated with the Rogue Alpha King, we are aware he will use this as an excuse to start a war.
We immediately started to contact neighboring packs and alliance members for support. Some hung up at the mention of Rogue Alpha, others offered full support.
The closest pack to our boarders the Solar Eclipse Pack, requested entry to come and discuss in person. The Alpha and Luna are amazing strategist.
looking out the window I can see its already dark, I glanced over at the clock and it showed 2am. We called it a night since Alpha Apollo and Luna Monica would be coming over in the morning to discuss a course of action and provide input.
