At the tents that my rogues had set up stood Alpha Donovan, sword in hand as he called out for me. He was wearing his loyal amor, an action he did whenever he went to battle. The Rogues that stood around me were all ready to fight Alpha Donovan whatever chance it took. The alpha was a hated man and he should have known that when he was coming here. when I see him holding that, I take it as a sign of disrespect.
I knew that he would receive a lot of hate and disrespect standing in front of the people that he had banished for circumstances they could not control. I was right about everything. our traditions and cultures were the same things that were breaking us apart.
The way he stood, his back inclined to the left side clearly showed that he was ready for battle. His posture however indicated that he felt I was not much of a threat to him. I respected the alpha only because he had trained me in Battle. all the skills I had were dedicated to him and his determination to make sure the army for his pack was unbeatable. This however meant that I had acquired enough skills to fight him. I understand the proverb that speaks of how a puppet could never play his master. But this was not a game and alpha Donovan was indeed here to kill me.
"And to what do I owe this visit?'' I ask the alpha. he stands a few feet away from me, a smug smile displayed on his face as he holds the handle of the sword tighter. A crowd is already catching up around us mainly because my rogues seek to protect their leader. I did not expect to gain such support from these people especially because I was a Warrior from a park that had equally caused them suffering.
"This is not a visit of Peace. this is my declaration that you have seized to enjoy the privilege of existing in this world. The consequences of your actions are death!'' he says in an authoritative tone. it is honestly ridiculous to see how much pride and power he assumes he has even out here.
''And who shall pass the judgment on me?'' I ask with equal determination.
"Well, Is it not obvious? I am here to execute you.'' alpha Donovan says. Murmurs arise as more wolves begin to close the distance. their skins burn with an ache for revenge. they want to kill him. they want to put alpha Donovan down for everything that he has done to them. for taking away their pride and their livelihood.
"Well I'm afraid, you have no authority to do that over here,'' I speak in disdain.
"Allow us to kill him where he stands; luna.'' One of my people says to me. "He does not deserve to live. He has come here to look for trouble.''
''Would you look at that.'' alpha Donovan says in a sarcastic tone. " they even call you Luna, what kind of puppet play is this?''
''The kind where the people here have a taste of freedom. I did not bring myself across as a leader, I am a natural leader. that cannot be said the same for you. you are a bastard and a coward.''
The expression on his face seems to change, he seems taken aback by my outlet.
''You dare speak to your alpha in such a foul Manner?'' he screams. " Have you forgotten your place?''
There is a short silence that follows, as alpha Donovan is contemplating on what to do next. he is hesitant. he can see that he is Outnumbered. but there is however something about the confidence he holds. as though he is sure is going to win this. he behaves like someone who is five steps ahead of us. this gives me the feeling that something was wrong. that the alpha was using a technique I had not quite thought about.
"It's an ambush!'' I had one of the rogues scream causing everyone to stand ready as all swords were pulled out. Within a mere matter of time, we were all completely surrounded. Warriors came from the boundary and others were hidden among the bushes and the trees that still stood at the beginning of the dry vegetation.
it only took a matter of seconds before a huge battle arise. the sound of a sword cracking against the sword and soldiers lowering against the rogues. other wolves turned to their animal form while The Others decided to fight in their full human form. the advantage of being a werewolf was that even in our human form, we were still able to use features like our canines and our sharp claws.
I watched as Isabella tackled Miriam towards the ground. it shocked me to see that Miriam had actually convinced her father to join this battle. alpha Donovan was always so protective of his daughter because he always spoke of how Miriam was supposed to inherit his crown. I knew that the main reason why Mirriam wanted to come to this battle was because of her personal feud with me. we naturally did not get along and that has never stopped her from trying to beat me even though we were not enemies before.
I watched as alpha Donovan advanced towards me at a quick speed. it however did not catch me off guard as I was able to pull out my sword and Sweep him off his feet immediately he made his first attempt of attack.
The moment His back hit the cold sand he was already up again, bringing his sword towards my neck as I bend forward and made sure that it missed. I took the opportunity to throw a hefty kick towards his stomach reminding myself that today was not the day we would be shedding blood. I was not going to give alpha Donovan the honor of tainting my name by his own foolishness. even though I knew that we could no longer be called family because I was banished from the park, I still believe that is for Donovan deserves a fair trial.
"Father, leave her. She is mine. MINE TO KILL!''
