The Alpha

Chapter 12

Kate’s POV

When Liam woke me up, I was beyond pissed. He knows how moody I get when I don’t get  enough sleep. However as soon as I hear there is a rouge attack on my pack, I run out the room. It was like something in me knew what to do. Like being the Luna was in me all along and it took a time like this to truly see myself as a person that this pack depends on. As one of their leaders, sworn to protect them.

I go down and start giving out orders for everyone to get into the bunker. The children, elders, some men and women. The fact that this pack now let’s anyone that wants to become a warrior, with no discrimination, is something I feel very proud of. Not all packs are allowed to have female warriors because of their Alphas.

Not to long later I see that Liam is heading out, so I steal a kiss from him. We say ‘I Love You’ to each other and head our separate ways.

I make sure that  everyone who is heading to the bunker is supposed to be there. I have a list of those the people in the pack that don’t belong in the battlefield. When everyone is inside and the door is closed I begin to highlight names in the list. Also giving them a sleeping and eating schedule designated by color of highlighter I used on their names. It didn’t take long to assign them into groups.

 I put all the children up to 18, to eat first as well as pregnant women and people over 70. The second group was the others in the bunker. There was enough food to last a few days, but I think the most they will stay in here was a few hours, so we’re good on that department. The sleeping schedule was a bit different though, due to the reason that there were not enough beds, but I made it work.

I did check up on people multiple times and it seems that Liam’s more used w***e is missing. I know that was rude but I’m jealous. She was different from the others from what I heard.

She was his first. The one that took his virginity and unlike the others he slept with, she was seen as Luna to some because she was spreading rumors. The thing that hurts though is that Liam didn’t put those rumors to rest or stopped to think about his mate. He knew I was out there somewhere.

Every once in a while I see some pack members glare at me and hear them talk about how their one and true Luna will always be her, Anna. I never said anything because it wouldn’t look good to go off on them, even though many times I almost did. I want to prove to them that I am and will always be their one and only Luna. I want them the respect me, not like the rest of the Lunas out there but like a strong, independent, and reliable Luna. Anna is a nightmare, but she is also a member of this pack and that means no matter what I swore to protect her.

I head out leaving Joe and Jessica in charge. I quickly kiss Rosie and tell Chris to never leave her side. I then go out the door and shift before looking everywhere for Anna but with no luck, I don’t find her. When I’m about to check the last place I could think of, the pack doctor. I see her talking to a rogue. They seem to know each other pretty well. She has been helping them?

I growl and lunge for the rogue in front of her. She looks back at me in surprise and then there is hatred in her eyes. Hatred for me. I mind link Liam while fighting the rogue and Anna gets away.

When Liam arrives a few minutes later, there is a small pile of bodies in the middle of the path. Piling would make it easier to clean so that the pack won’t have to be in that damn bunker for too long. Its spacious but people still need their own beds, and privacy.

Anyway, there is about another hour of fighting before  the wolfs stop coming so I go and shift and get some clothes that I asked a doctor for. When I come out Liam growls.

“…You smell like another male. I don’t like it.” I love is when he gets jealous, but right now I had nothing. When I shifted my clothes ripped to pieces and this was the only thing I could find. I don’t even have a bra on.

I rub my chest against his then sniff the shirt it smells a little like him so I smiled and he growled.  

“…Now I smell like you.” I smiled even wider when his eyes showed so much love. It looked like he was about to say something but before he could some other female did. Its Anna.

“I was supposed to be Luna. Liam is my mate and you took him from me. So, this is my revenge. ” She grinned and without a second word we feel more people pass the boarder and soon we see witches.

All the witches are in the classic stereotypical witch wardrobe. Red with black medieval dresses and a black cloak, with the hood over their heads.

Liam and I were at the very front, with the warriors at the back. Turning to Liam and see that his wolf is on surface because of the witches. The warriors have fear in their eyes but also determination. Like saying they aren’t going down without a fight. When I look in front of me to the witches, the witch that I assume is the leader grins.

She then turns to a grinning Anna and says thank you for her help before snapping her neck with her magic. We stand there surprised until she speaks.

 “Finally, I get to kill the child of that Alpha Asshole.” I growl she is not touching Liam. Liam looks surprised and confused and the same time. I step in front of Liam to block him and the witch laughs like the scene before her is the funniest thing she’s ever seen.

“You misunderstand. I don’t mean this weak alpha” she looks past me and at Liam before she continues “I mean you. The Female Alpha born of another female alpha and one of the most powerful coven leaders that ever lived. Making you second generation female alpha and a witch hybrid. Very powerful indeed… But also very dangerous to have alive.” After she finished her sentence her smile turned into a glare.

She glares a little more and then continues to talk. “Born a siphon and gifted extra power from your father before he was killed.”  I know I didn’t know my father but I still couldn’t help but water up at that. He tried to save me and was killed. “Not only are you full of magic your body is also full of power. Shifting at age 5. No wolf has ever shifted that early.”

I growl at her. How does she know so much about me. I haven’t even told Liam. I thought that it would be best to tell him until I was ready to tell him about my past. I know what my wolf knows but the reason is still unclear. I wanted to investigate and I have been. I wanted to keep it a secret until I knew what it was. I thought it would keep them safe but I was wrong.

“Who the hell are you? How do you know so much about me?”  as I continue my conversation I could sense the confusion from Liam and the pack, so I decide to mind link them ‘I will explain everything later. For now we need to focus on the matter at hand.’

The pack nods their heads but Liam just looks at me. I could see fear, anger, and hurt in his eyes. I am in trouble.

I turn to the witch and she look like she was casting a spell. The warriors that were behind me started to howl in pain as well as Liam. They were using their magic on them. I wonder why they weren’t using it on me?

I begin to feel some pain and realize that the witch are using their magic on me to. It just isn’t that effective on me as it is on the rest of the pack. I gather myself and begin to chant. I make a huge bubble where all the witch are in. When I feel it is secure from their magic I begin to attack them. Hoping that they would focus on me rather than the pack. If I die, then I die trying to protect the pack.

As I hoped they soon stop attacking Liam and the warriors and focus their attention on me. With about 68 witch attacking me I begin to lose my strength. My chanting becomes harsher than before. My hands begin to shake as I try to contain myself from the pain. My nose bleeds as I try to take these witches on my own. Ignoring all of this I continue to chant, until I feel a hand on each side of my shoulder.

I turn to see Liam and William holding on to me. A line of warriors behind them. Some barely standing some to weak to stand. They all hold on to a hand, a shoulder, an ankle. Liam mind links me.

‘Siphon some of our energy.’ I was about to reject the idea, thinking they were just attacked, they need it for themselves, but when I thought about it, it made sense. I can siphon off the negative energy they were feed with from the witches and use it against them. It could leave them a little week after because of all the energy passing in and out but they would feel better faster.

Without a second thought I turn back to the witches and once again begin to chant. As I am chanting I siphon off power from the pack. I don’t want to take to much just the amount they were fed with, but it’s like I couldn’t stop. Soon the witches laid lifeless except for one that I froze into submission.

But no matter I kept siphoning power. They tried to break the circle but it was like I had cast a spell so they wouldn’t be able to. I want to stop but I just keep going until Liam talks in my ear.

“It’s ok Kate. They are gone. You can stop now. You don’t have to continue, I know you don’t want to hurt us.”  As I hear Liam’s voice a tear falls down my face. I stop and turn to them.

“I’m so sorry…i…I didn’t mean to.”  I look at everyone and some are injured from the fighting some are just week. I feel incredibly guilty. I hold my hands up, cure the wounded and return some energy.

With everything that just happened I feel exhausted and I fall to the floor on my knees. Liam is quick to be by my side and I smile at him telling him I’m ok just tired. I look around and smile.

“I don’t think I could help clean up but please do quickly before you open the bunker. I don’t want the kids to see this.” I slowly begin to close my eyes and I hear him say

“Of course, my love.”
