Ryan expected Abby to see through his plan and come prepared, but he didn’t expect for the rumors out there to be true and the King really cared for that monster daughter of his.
But what was he saying now? Did he just say Hanna was ‘alive?’
“What did you just say?” He gritted his teeth, hoping he just heard him wrong, or he was just bluffing him.
“Hanna is alive and you can meet her…”
“You have captured her?!”
“Yes…”
This one word was enough for Ryan to see red, as he lunged at the king while shifting midair. He roared as he threw his paw at Micah, but the latter was alert for such reactions and immediately stepped aside.
“RYAN!!!” Abby screamed, feeling mortified that he dared to attack her mate, because he was no match for him. But Micah didn’t feel any need to end his life as he still tried to talk to him.
“Shift back, now!” He would endure it until the end if it meant Abby wouldn’t get hurt in the process.
Even though she resented them, Abby never wished them any harm, let alone a cruel demise. Deep down, she still cared for them, just like he thought she would, that was why he didn’t carved death sentences across their foreheads and just exiled them.
Knowing they were alive and their blood wasn’t on her hands, she could breathe easily, but Ryan didn’t know any better, because a second later, he actually roared even louder as he prompted his rogue army to attack the king and his group.
Vicious roars filled the air as the royal warriors engaged in a bloody battle with the rogues, while Dax guided Abby to stand beside a considerably large boulder.
On the other hand, Micah joined the battle as well, but not before trying to stop Ryan one last time. “You are going to regret this, so stop before it is too late.”
The answer he got was an equally vicious roar, as he lunged at the king again, but this time Micah didn’t dodge him, instead he leapt high and shifted midair before colliding with Ryan’s beast.
And the result was bloody, because Ryan rebounded from the impact as he felt himself flying backward before hitting a boulder where his jaw cracked and blood immediately flowed down his muzzle until he whimpered.
Abby almost rushed to his side, but Dax stopped her.
“King Micah has it under control,” the royal gamma said, upon which Abby could see a few warriors forming a circle around them, giving her a two layer protection.
“Would he kill him?” Abby couldn’t help but hold her breath.
“I don’t think so, he wants to capture him alive,” Dax said, not really bothering about the fate Ryan would face tonight.
If they could capture him along with a few other rogues, they could be useful for their investigation, if not, they could wait for another chance.
It was not like Calpin was an ordinary enemy that could be dealt with so easily, they needed to bide their time and not rush blindly.
“I think it is over before it even started,” Dax said, as he whistled to look at Ryan who couldn’t get back on his limbs after Micah threw his paw at him for the fourth time. “He was no match for him.”
Around them, they could see how half of the rogues were lying dead, while the other half were in the hold of the royal warriors.
“Shift back!” Micah infused his superior alpha dominance into his voice, as he forced them all to shift back and Abby only stepped forward when everyone was fed with Rottingbane, which would prevent them from shifting into their beasts again.
“Father, shift back,” Abby said, because Ryan’s beast kept whimpering, not obeying the king’s order.
But he couldn’t move either, he was allowing the few bones that broke earlier in the fight to realign. But Micah didn’t have all the time in the world, so he made the warriors feed Ryan Rottingbane leaves forcefully.
“Why did you attack?!” Abby looked down at her father, who was forced to such a pitiful state.
The way she was looking at him didn’t sit well with him, he had always been a prideful person. So he mustered his energy and with the support of the boulder behind him, he slowly rose to his feet
“Ho- how could I not wh- when you have been tor… turing your ol- older sister? She ne- never wished any harm up- upon you, but you co- couldn’t hide your ug- ugly nature the mo- moment you fo- found a chance…”
