The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 128

CHAPTER 128

Declan

To be honest, I've practically forgotten about the Alpha still sitting in the cells. With everything going on, he's the last thing on my mind, but he should have been taken care of a long time ago. I want Quinn to decide his fate since she is the one that he came after. Now, we have a bigger mess to worry about.

Seriously, though, these are his pack members that turned tail and ran the moment they realized they were outnumbered. Do they really think that teaming up with rogues is going to make it any better? They are still outnumbered, and as soon as they realize that they are surrounded, they will see that. Carter has already linked me informing me that they are in place, far enough where they can't be scented, but close enough that none of the enemy will be leaving alive if they don't surrender.

Duke is pawing at the surface, wanting out again but I keep telling him that he needs to be patient. I step out of the protection of Quinn's warriors and motion for one of the enemy wolves to shift. When he doesn't, I let out my Alpha aura, giving the wolf no choice other than to suffer unless he submits.

Finally, the wolf shifts and comes forward, trying to fight the command as much as he can, "Why are you here, and why did you bring rogues with you?"

He straightens his back, but the moment he opens his mouth, I can hear the bit of fear in his voice, "We are here for our Alpha. You will release him, or you will have another fight on your hands. These rogues are worst of the worst and will not hesitate to take all of you out."

I chuckle and turn towards the warriors behind me, "Do you hear that? They are the worst of the worst!" The warrior's wolves shake with laughter. Turning back to the enemy, I wipe all signs of humor from my face, "Your Alpha made a grave mistake by attacking the Dark Moon pack. He is lucky that he still has his life... for now. He will not have his freedom just so he can turn around and try to attack again. Your pack has been wreaking havoc for a very long time, killing innocent packs all because of a legend of a Dire wolf!"

"It's an abomination and needs to be put down!" The male sneers and a few of his pack members paw at the ground in agreement.

"Says who? Your Alpha? What gives him or anybody else the right to judge any wolf that way? We are all the Goddess Selene's children, and if anything, they were here first. The Dire wolves, if there are any left, have more right to be here than we do!"

"She will destroy us all!"

"I'm not sure who you are referring to, but have you stopped to think that if the legend is true, that the Dire wolf will make everything right once again? Supposedly, the Dire and their mate will rule over all wolves and bring peace back to us all."

"That's just it, they will rule all of us! We don't want to be ruled by anybody."

I scoff, "You have an Alpha, don't you?" I shrug, "Well, you used to have one anyway. You allowed yourselves to be ruled by him, who has led you all to take the lives of innocents, and yet you are hunting the one wolf that can put a stop to it all!"

The wolf is ignorant and refuses to listen, so whatever happens next will be on him, "Leave now and we will let you all live. Go back to your pack and choose a new Alpha because the old one will not be returning."

The wolf decides to sign his death warrant as he snarls and then shifts back into his wolf as he lunges at me. Duke is much faster as he shifts and goes straight the other wolf's jugular; he never stood a chance with my wolf being twice the size of his. Duke spits out the portion of the neck that he rips out and we stand here snarling, daring for the next wolf to come at us.
