"I was supposed to be the next Alpha until James came out of nowhere and usurped my position. I tried for years to get rid of him but as a cursed werewolf, he is impossible to kill."
"It was then that you appeared just shortly before the Kannais, albeit against your will, and when you finally killed James, I was on top of the world, thinking it was finally my turn until I noticed you sitting in that same position."
"I was feeling hopeless about ever taking my rightful position back, right until Crow told me about a wonder drug being created. There is just this vial you see... since Wolfsbane was so rare, it took a lot of sacrifice and money to compound this formula."
"A mixture of Wolfsbane and a paralytic drug extracted from a poisonous mushroom. I initially thought it was a joke until I was introduced to it. I decided to test it out after paying heavily for it, I wasn't sure it would work, I stood a risk of being killed by you..."
"But who would have thought that such a drug would be so effective, and funny enough, there is an antidote for it, but of course, I won't be foolish enough to give you that... ehehehehe"
"I also had the backing of the Elders, so it was just too easy," Londan Grey said with a smile.
Alpha Azrael couldn't move a muscle as he entered a state of paralysis. His remaining consciousness slowly faded away into a comatose state as he saw the face of betrayal of his beta, Londan Grey.
While Londan was extremely pleased with himself on seeing the state of Alpha Azrael. He had finally gotten the position he always wanted, which was to be the Alpha of the pack formerly ruled by Alpha James and then Alpha Azrael.
At this time, the soldiers and the human entourage of Alpha Azrael got up in annoyance. They wanted to walk up to beta Londan and tear him to pieces, but before they could move, they were surrounded.
Beta Londan smiled as he walked closer to them with calm and well-paced strides. They walked slowly and majestically until he was standing right before them.
"Surrender to me and I will let you all go freely..." Beta Londan offered.
"We will never surrender to you..."
"I will rather die than bow to you... scum..."
Two soldiers spat out.
When Londan Grey heard the 'I would rather die' speech, he turned to the soldier that said it and smiled, "If that's what he wants, grant him his desires.." Londan Grey commanded.
And immediately, one of the other werewolves that surrounded Alpha Azrael's soldiers moved closer to the werewolf that made that speech, and with one swing of his blade, he decapitated him and allowed the body to fall forward lifelessly before going back to his previous position.
This scene made the others even more scared.
"Does anyone else have any more objections or something contrary to say about my being your Alpha..." Londan Grey roared.
Immediately, some soldiers started to go on their knees in surrender.
"I submit"
"I submit"
"I submit"
"I submit"
They started to say one after the other as they went on their knees.
However despite this, about 5 humans still chose not to bend the knee and remained standing, and this group included, April Herrington- the adopted sister of Azrael Herrington, Jane the woman leader of the human group, and three others.
Londan Grey looked at April Herrington and signaled for the soldiers to kill her, but before the soldiers made their move, Naomi Banks quickly spoke up from the stage, she had to find a clever way to rescue her.
"Why kill her, this is not a day for death, you could lock her in a prison and torture her till she gives you what you want, death would be too easy don't you think..." Naomi Banks, who was the MC on the stage suggested as her voice reverberated throughout the area.
At this point, Londan ordered them to halt, he had always had a crush on Naomi Banks but never has he shown any interest. Hearing her speak, made him a bit flustered with mixed feelings but he tried his best to remain calm.
"Lock them up with this dirt bag..." Londan Grey finally commanded that the 5 humans be locked up with Alpha Azrael while the others would be submitting to him.
The others couldn't fully submit to him unless they made a blood pact or oath which cannot happen unless the previous one with Azrael was broken, and it couldn't be broken until Azrael was dead.
Londan Grey had no intention of killing him yet, and he had already made up his mind to endure till it was time to kill him.
The entire area at this moment was silent as other Alpha's watched Alpha Azrael being dragged off like a chunk of garbage.
Those who didn't bend the knee were also pushed forward alongside him and they were led off to a dungeon.
The entire area was silent as everyone looked around in shock and fear.
Things were happening and they were all confused. The humans who surrendered also had their misgivings about the situation and wished they did differently.
They saw Londan Grey in a different light and as the enemy, they just didn't have the boldness to confront him at that point.
At this exact time, Crow came out from where he had been watching the scene play out and went to give Londan Grey a signature handshake full of distinct gestures.
"Londan my man, finally, you got it... " He said as he did a couple of unique moves which were reciprocated by Londan Grey.
Londan then turned to the people including humans and soldiers who were forced to serve him. "From now on, I am your Alpha, you will bow to me, serve me, and be my supporters as I will join this competition as your Alpha..., you got that...?" He asked with a roar.
"Yes, sir..." They replied with sad voices.
Alpha Azrael who protected them is no more around, they felt exposed and vulnerable, especially with the new madman in charge.
Who knew or expected a man who appeared to be very loyal to suddenly turn and show such a side of himself?
Alpha Azrael trusts him so much that he even doubted his instincts because of him and that costs him everything, his pack, his lover, his people, and his path to fame. Now Londan Grey would take over and rule in his stead.
