Elvis' Pov
Flashback
Rachel saw me first and panicked, instantly she grabbed the clothes beside her, covered her bare nipples.
"Elvis, what are you doing here?" I saw the guilt in her eyes, there was so much I wanted to say but I could not find my voice.
Azriel then turned, our eyes locked for a moment then he diverted his gaze elsewhere, "I am sorry man, I didn't know how to tell you"
I turned around and started walking, my heart raced and my vision clouded, and uncontrollable tears roll down my cheek it felt as if I've been stabbed through the heart with a hundred needles.
"How are you doing?" Darius asked me as he sat down beside me on my bed in the dark room.
"I'm fine," Tears rolled down from my eyes.
"You've been in here for a week, mom and dad is worried." He rubbed his hand on my back.
"I'm fine."
"Can you at least tell me what happened?"
"Nothing happened."
"Okay," he stood up, "Elvis, no matter what happened, never forget who you are. And that we have your back always."
"My best friends, the people I called my best friends…" The tears stopped me from saying more.
"What exactly did they do?"
"The girl I liked, I saw her with Azriel." Hearing those words from my own mouth made me terribly nauseous.
"That's what happened? Elvis, if Azriel took the girl you liked. Then find someone else, I know it's hard but you are the son of the alpha. You have to realize that there are so many girls out there that will beg to become yours. So, get up from there, this shouldn't be enough to bring you down."
"Darius I loved her…" My heart ached
"So? She is just one girl." I knew he would not understand, no one in this world can understand the love i had for her.
"I will never forgive Azriel."
"Don't, but still keep him close, I heard he is almost as strong as you."
"Yeah, he is."
"Then he will make a great soldier for this pack, always keep him close."
"Okay,"
"Never let a woman come in between your friendship."
"Okay."
I tried to forgive Azriel, but I couldn't, because every time I see him together with Rachel I die a little more on the inside. Although I told him it was cool, and the three of us still hung out together.
Even though I wasn't invited to their wedding few years later, I still went. The place was packed, the wedding, the decorations was superb, green dim light bulbs was wired at every corner of the venue, every table has filled with something edible.
"You came," Darius said from behind me, I turned to see him, his wife Isabel, and our three years old kid, Damien, my mom and dad looking at me worried.
"Yeah, I am fine, that was years ago, how's the event going?"
"It has been great, well, it seems like he invited everyone in the pack." My dad spoke up.
"Oh,"
"The bride and groom is about to enter though, " Isabel said with a warm smile.
"Oh, then let me find a seat before the event begin officially." I found a seat at the very back of the audience, somewhere hidden in the shadows and sat there. Few minutes later Azriel walked with his arms interlocked with Rachel's. Their face beamed with smiles as they walked up to the podium.
"Azriel, do you vow to take Rachel as your wedded wife, and to love her in sickness and in health, till death do you apart?"
"Yes."
"Rachel, do you vow to take Azriel as your wedded husband, to love him, in sickness and in health till death do you apart?"
"Yes" Rachel smiled.
"You may now kiss your bride." Azriel slowly grabbed Rachel by the waist, pulled her closer and kissed her on the lips. That should've been me up there, not Azriel, he stole her from me, it felt like I had a heavy load in my heart.
Azriel turned to the crowd, "Now for the main event," he smiled, "I want to invite the Alpha of this pack to this stage."
My dad got up from his seat, cheers and clapped rocked the air as he walked up to the podium.
"It's an honor to have you here sir."
"Congratulations on your marriage Azriel, you two have my blessing, never forget that you are like a son to me."
"Thank you for everything sir, the reason I invited you to this stage is to challenge you to a fight to the death."
The whole venue went grave silent, I sat up on my chair, this must be some prank.
"Once you say that you cannot take it back, but as someone I view as a son. I want you to think carefully of what you are about to do." My dad's said painfully, to become the alpha, you had to kill the alpha of the pack. My dad was still the alpha because he had faced countless challenges like that and won, he was not afraid of losing, he was afraid of killing someone he watched grow up.
"There is nothing to think about," Azriel said, and then he turned to the audience watching the drama. "if you don't want to get hurt leave this area right now." Azriel started to transform into his wolf version. Chaos descended into the venue as people started to run in every direction trying to avoid getting caught in the fight, I sat in my chair and watched.
"It's sad that you will spend your wedding night in a grave, instead of in the loving arms of your wife." My dad transformed into his wolf version. He stood six feet tall, and his furs was stripped white against brown, just like mine.
Azriel pounced on my dad who caught him in mid air and threw him to the ground, my dad then slashed at his throat with his claws. Azriel moved his neck to avoid the claws but the tips caught his skin and tore through the flesh. My dad then sent another slash, but this time, Azriel pushed him off before the Slash could reach him.
Blood dripped from Azriel's neck as he stood back up, my dad howled to the moon, then he ran towards Azriel. The two slash and claw at each other for minutes with little success, then my dad dug into the ground with his claw, dug out dirt and flung it at Azriels eye.
As Azriel shaked off the dirt in his eye, my dad dashed to him, grabbed him by the neck and pinned him to the ground.
"It's over now son," My dad's voice stuck terror into my heart, is this the end for Azriel? He then grabbed Azriel by the head, moved his head to expose his neck, and then he goes in for the bite. But before his fangs could reah Azriel's throat, Azriel punched him in the face with his claws pushing him back. Then he kicked my dad off his body with both legs, he moved like a cat, left, right, before my dad could react he dug his claws deep into his throat and tore his neck open. My dad fell on the floor, his face turned light green as he gasped for air while blood pumped out from the wound.
"Dad…" The words escaped from my mouth, as I watched my father slowly die.
"You bastard!" Darius yelled angrily, veins popped out all over his neck, then he transformed into a Werewolf and sprinted to where Azriel was. Then he leapt into the air to pounce on Azriel, Azriel then grabbed him mid air, pinned him to the ground and tore into his neck with his fangs. Blood propelled out of Darius' neck splattering all over Azriel. I watched in dismal as my own mother ran to Azriel, screaming in terror, she turned into a werewolf too and dashed towards Azriel, "Kill me too!"
Azriel dismembered her easily and threw all her body parts on the floor, it was at that point that our eyes met. He's was bloodshot, this was not the Azriel I once knew, the person on that stage was pure evil. I had to stop him, I wanted to, but my feet refused to move, not just my feet, every part of me was frozen except the tears from my eyes rolling down my cheeks.
Azriel walked past me to where Rachel was standing, "Can I kiss you?" he said.
"A stupid question," Azriel lifted Rachel up and started to kiss her still covered in the blood of my family. Rage burned inside of me, any atom of emotion I felt for Azriel died.
From that day I began the plot to kill Azriel, I didn't want to waste my time and risk my life by fighting with him. I needed a plan that will bring me a hundred percent success, so I waited patiently for the perfect opportunity. So I remained in the pack, we didn't speak to each other at first for years, but because I followed all his orders and fought fiercely alongside him without questioning his authority, we started to become close. Eventually, a chance appeared.
