Mated to the Alpha King-Book 1 novel Chapter 25

"Yes Alpha King."

"Yes Lucas."

A slight grin appears on Lucas face as I use his name instead of his title. Aella on the other hand glares at me with a look of pure hatred.

"Go to your sides to shift and come back to the middle."

I turn to go back to my side when I hear a quiet, almost inaudible voice.

"Good Luck baby girl."

With a smile on my face and a new feeling of determination, I walk to the girls and behind the tree line to shift.

The feeling of my bones snapping and shifting into different places as fur sprouts through my skin gives me a sense of peace, knowing Kenna is going to fight her hardest.

Walking out of the tree line gasps are heard through the crowd along with murmurs.

"A red wolf?"

"I thought those were a myth."

"She's RED?"

I ignore the voices and walk back up to Lucas. Kenna rubs he nose on his leg, a sign of affection we both know she shouldn't do in this situation. Lucas lets out a slight growl before rubbing our fur, sending a million sparks through our body.

A large mousy brown wolf comes out of the tree line with a wolfy smirk on their face. Aella comes up to Lucas and I and goes to rub her nose on his leg. Before I can growl at her to back off, Lucas side steps her muzzle and begins to speak.

"Aella are you ready?"

One over exaggerated howl sounds through the trees.

Kenna rolls her eyes at the annoying wolf in front of us.

"Audrey are you ready?"

I make the mistake of looking into Lucas eyes. All I see is worry in his eyes along with another emotion. Pride.

Kenna lets out a loud howl to signal that were ready.

"One my count the battle will start and won't end till one surrenders. One. Two. Go."

Lucas backs out of the way and Aella goes straight for my neck.

Kenna stands proud and tall. Waiting. The battle is over but no one has moved. They know what Kenna wants. What I want.

Kenna gives me half control and we wait for Aella to either submit and recognize us as her queen or for her to try and defy us again.

Aella gains control of her wolf again and stares into Kenna and I's eyes.

A growl so loud and ferocious, all pack members dropped down in a submissive state. Including Aella.

Howling in victory Kenna gives me full control as we walk over to our clothes to shift back.

Once shifted all pack members are still down, with Lucas the only one left standing in the middle. Walking to the center of the clearing I stand next to Lucas side.

"Rise."

All pack members lift their heads and stand except for Aella, still in wolf form. The pack members have proud smiles on their faces at the fact that I won, made them submit and that I released them.

Lucas looked so proud with a wide grin on his face that I forgot there was anyone else around. A small whimper brings me back to the present and I remember the wolf at my feet.

"Go and shift. Then come back here."

Aella stands and goes back to her tree to shift. As soon as she's dressed she comes and lowers down on both knees with her hand over her heart.
