The Hybrid King, The Rise of the Kingdoms

Chapter Seven

[P.O.V. Zyston Woods]

After they get done teasing me. Tyler and I started on some paperwork. It took a few hours before we were done. After getting done, we went around the territory. Making sure there was no danger around.

"We have been best friends for years, just curious. Why did you really come back? We always communicated through phone, email, and even video call. If there was a matter to be handled." Tyler asks with curiosity.

"Vincent got a letter from the Witch Hunter. He is seeking revenge for his people that we slaughter. Years ago, he plans to finish the war he started."

"Im was briefly aware of what was happening. Thanks to Vincent for giving me a brief conversation about it. But he said nothing about Alexander being here in Dark Wood. Now that explains the real reason you're here. It's because his here."

Witch Hunters track down evil creatures. Also, those who break the laws of the creature world. That was until Alexander Parr took over. Ever since Alexander Parr took over. He took matters into his own hands. His hate for creatures like us consumed him. He decided he would kill every breed. Of the creature world to be rid of them. Tension built between us. This subject always ruins my mood.

"Well, to lighten this mood up. You said you finally met your mate. Please tell, for I am curious what our future Luna is like." Tyler breaking the tense atmosphere. Just thinking about her makes all my demons run away.

"She is absolutely stunningly gorgeous. It took me by surprise when I met her. For eight years, I have been looking for her. Even in all the places I've traveled to. Come to find out she has been here. All this time in Dark Wood." A small smirk crept on my face, just thinking about her.

"Holy s**t! You're actually almost smiling. I haven't seen you happy since before the civil war." Rolling my eyes at him. Losing my small smirk. "When can the pack and I meet her?"

"She is human. It will take some time. Before I can bring her here as the Luna. Since we are doing the fall celebration in our fields. You can meet her then". Tyler and I walked through the territory. Until we reached the training grounds. Watching and impressed by how well my pack. Has been doing without me all these years.

"Xander, don't do it!!" a young woman from my pack yelled. Pulling my attention away from the Warrior's. A small light brown wolf jump on top of me. Knocking me to the ground. Snapping at my face. Using my hands to hold him back.

"You are not my Alpha! I will be damn if I submit to you!" The wolf says through mind-link. So he belongs to my pack? Punching the wolf on the snout. The young wolf yelped and got off me trying to breathe.

"Who in the f**k!!? Does this young wolf think he is!? Disrespecting his Alpha like that!!" Travis yelling furiously.

The young wolf charges towards me. Before he can even touch me. Moving out of his way putting my leg out. The young wolf just tripped, rolling on the ground. Everyone here on the training ground was circling us. Watching the young pup attack their Alpha. 'What did that young woman call him again? Xander?' asking myself.

"Xander, right? Please tell me what I did wrong. As an Alpha of this pack? To have you challenge me?" Using my Alpha tone. Trying my hardest to hold back Travis from coming out.

"What Alpha leaves for years and comes back? Like he owns this place? I bet you didn't even win your title like a true Alpha." Xander's voice coming out like venom. His wolf snarling and barking.

"I'm done with this young pup! How dare he insult us like that!" Travis's booming voice ringing in my head.

Taking control of my body, bones break, clothes bursting, and my body covered with midnight black fur. I was twice the size Xander size was. Looking into his fearful brown eyes, Bright gold eyes reflect at me. The young pup shrank down. Trying not to submit to the powerful Alpha aura radiating off Travis.

Like a passenger in the back seat, Travis took control. The young pup and Travis both pounce at one another. Rolling and biting at each other. Snarls and growls being made. For I don't even know how long. The young wolf bites down hard. On Travis's left shoulder. Making Travis growl, biting down on the young wolf's back. Tossing him into a couple of trees. Xander let out a big cry, trying to get back up. Travis pounced on the young wolf, biting into his neck.

"Submit!" Travis's voice said with anger through mind-link. The young wolf just refused. Biting down more into his flesh. Finally, he whimpers, trying to get Travis off.

"I Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack Command you to submit!!" Hearing bones break from the young pup. Travis lets go of his neck. Giving me back control over our body. Shifting back into human form. A pack member brings two pairs of gym shorts. Putting a pair on and throwing the other pair. At a young kid about nineteen years old.

"What is your last name?" My voice coming out cold and brutal.

"Xander Mills," the young wolf replied weakly.

"Next time you have a problem with me Xander Mills. I suggest you talk to me like a real man. Not like some kid throwing a tizzy tantrum. From not getting his way." Xander just looked down in shame. He couldn't even say a word. The entire pack surrounded Xander and me. Moving away from the kid, looking at my pack.

"From letting something like this happen again. I want to clarify something!! Not only are you my pack, and I am your Alpha. But we are also family!! I know I left for a few years. And some don't know why I left? I apologize for putting any doubt in our pack. To clear this matter, let me tell you why I left. You're my family, and I owe you the truth. Not only did I leave to make new alliances. For those who know. That I am also part dragon shifter. After the civil war, my dragon Stryker became very bloodthirsty. Became so serious that I was scared. For my pack and those who knew me!" Yelling while using my alpha voice. Some in the crowd gasp, small whispers, and others stayed silent.

"I was gone for so long for a special training for my dragon. It took time, but I completed that training to come back home!... I tell you this not for sympathy or pity. I'm telling you as your friend and a member of this pack! I am going to give you a choice! Before I give you that choice. To keep me as your Alpha or not. Know whatever you choose. I will not chase nobody off my land, nor will they even be jobless. You are my family, and I protect my family! Keep me as your Alpha because I'm worthy. Not because you fear me as unworthy!" No longer using my Alpha aura, waiting to see what my pack's answer is. Whisper's is all that I hear. My heart is racing, waiting and anxious. Tyler, my Beta, stepped forward.

"I Beta Tyler Michaels, second in command of the Silver Moon Pack. Still accept Alpha Zyston Woods as my Alpha." Kneeling in front of me. Moving his neck to the side for submission. Katrina, my twin, stood by Tyler.

"I, Katrina Michaels, Woods. Beta Female second in command of Silver Moon Pack. Still accepts Alpha Zyston Woods as my Alpha." She was kneeling and submitting.

Next, my Delta Joseph Blaire, third in command. And his mate Jolene accepts and kneels before me. Little by little, everyone in the pack saying their name. Position and submitting to me. With every acceptance of the bond. Between the pack members and I became stronger. Also, strengthening me as an Alpha. Finally, after everyone was done, they stood up.

"I, Alpha Zyston Woods of Silver Moon Pack. First in command to the Moon Goddess, Selene. Renew my Alpha Vow. To protect and serve every member in this pack fairly. I, as Alpha, accept you all as my pack." A tremendous wave of power. Makes every bond of every member strong.

Everyone changing into their wolves. Running with each other to renew the bond as a pack. After running, I went back home. To work out from all the new power. Coursing through me. After calming myself down, my mate, Adriana, called for a ride home. My once calm heart raced back up again. That I had to do another work out. Just to get my beast to lose some of their energy.
