Raw Alpha

Chapter 4

DAMIEN

A roar of approval erupted from the council members as I announced my decision. We had suffered enough from the Rival pack's aggression. They had crossed the line when they ambushed me. They wanted me dead, but I survived. And now, we are going to make them pay.

"Enough talk, let's go and rip them apart!" Elena shouted, eager to fight.

"Wait, we need a strategy," Marcus said, trying to calm them down. "We can't just charge in blindly. We need to know their numbers and their weaknesses."

"Marcus is right," I agreed. "We need to be smart about this. We have an advantage. They don't know we're coming. We can use that to surprise them and strike hard."

"How do we find out what they are up to?" Lucas asked.

"I have an idea," a voice said from the back. It was Alex, our pack's best tracker. "I can enter into their pack without being caught. Then find out what they are up to and also scout their defenses and report back to you."

"That sounds risky," Marcus said, frowning.

"I can handle it," Alex said confidently. "I'm fast and stealthy. They won't see me coming."

"Alright, Alex, you have a mission," I said, nodding. "But be careful. Don't get too close or engage them. Just observe and return."

"I will, Alpha," Alex said, saluting. "I'll be back before dawn."

"Good luck, Alex," I said, as he ran out of the pack house.

“I need to speak to the rest of the pack warriors,” I said to the council members and Marcus mind linked every pack member and asked them to assemble in the Pack’s square. When everyone was gathered, we all went out to the square. I stood up first leading the way and the rest of the council members followed behind.

"Okay, everyone, listen up," I said, addressing the rest of the Pack. "I and the pack warriors will be going to war in the next two days. Gather your weapons, sharpen your claws, and get ready for battle. The rest of you would stay back in the pack. Some warriors would be left behind to safeguard the rest of you. No pack member is allowed to leave the pack’s territory during the course of this battle for safety reasons.

Warriors, we will meet at the edge of the forest on my order. From there, we will follow Alex's lead and attack the Rival pack. We will fight with courage, honor, and loyalty. We will fight for our pack, our mates, and our freedom. We will fight until we win. Are you with me?"

"Yes, Alpha!" the pack shouted in unison.

"Then let's get ready!" I said, raising my fist in the air. The pack cheered and dispersed.

I had rallied my pack two days ago in order to get ready for battle. The time had come to exact our revenge as the sun sank low in the horizon, creating deep shadows across the forest floor. As my men assembled at the forest's edge, their eyes gleaming with fierce intent, there was an aura of expectation in the air.

"Warriors," I began, my voice resonating with authority, "this is the moment we have trained for. Today, we fight not just for ourselves but our pack, our honor, and our freedom. We will show the Rival pack the strength of our unity and the power of our resolve. Are you with me?"

A resounding chorus of "Yes, Alpha!" echoed through the trees, igniting a fierce determination within each member of my pack.

With a nod, I turned to Alex, our most skilled tracker and strategist. "Lead us to the heart of their territory, Alex. We will follow your lead."

With a confident grin, Alex stepped forward, his senses keen and his resolve unwavering. "Follow me," he said, his voice steady and assured.

Tension crackled in the air like lightning as we ventured farther into the enemy's territory. The forest echoed with the distant sounds of the Rival pack's movements as shadows swirled among the trees.

Suddenly, Alex held up his hand, signaling for us to halt. "They're close," he whispered, his eyes narrowed in concentration.

I nodded, my muscles tensing in anticipation. "Prepare yourselves," I ordered, my voice low but commanding.

With a primal roar, we burst forth from the cover of the trees, our battle cries echoing through the night. The Rival pack was caught off guard, their Alpha taken aback by our sudden onslaught.

"Slay them all!" I bellowed, my voice cutting through the chaos of battle.

Swords clashed, claws tore through fur, and teeth sank into flesh as the two packs collided in a whirlwind of violence. Flames erupted from the underbrush as firebombs were hurled into the fray, casting an eerie glow over the battlefield.

"Protect the flanks!" I shouted, my voice hoarse with exertion. "Don't let them regroup!"

My warriors fought with an intensity that sprang from desperation, and they persisted against all obstacles because of their devotion to our pack. The forest floor was marred by blood, which blended with the ground to create a horrific artwork of death and destruction.

Through the chaos, I locked eyes with the Rival pack's Alpha, his gaze filled with fury and defiance. With a snarl, he lunged at me, his claws slashing through the air with deadly precision.

But I was ready.

With a swift movement, I dodged his attack, driving my sword deep into his chest with a guttural roar of triumph. His eyes widened in shock before fading into darkness, and with a final shudder, he fell to the ground, defeated.

As the last echoes of battle faded into the night, my pack gathered around me, their faces streaked with blood and sweat but their spirits unbroken.

"We have won," I declared, my voice ringing out like a clarion call. "Tonight, we have proven our strength and our courage. Let this victory serve as a reminder to all who would challenge us: we will fight until the end, and we will always emerge victorious."

With a chorus of triumphant howls, my warriors raised their fists in the air, the moonlight glinting off their weapons as they celebrated our hard-won victory. And as we stood together, united in purpose and resolve, I knew that nothing could ever break the bond of loyalty that bound us as one.

As I was celebrating this victory, my mind took me back to the omega who saved me, I wouldn't be here fighting today if she didn't save my life. I had to find her
