Chapter 48: War
Aiden’s POV
‘Stay close, no one will fight alone!’
My black wolf stands proud along with my pack of wolves. Nick’s brown wolf stands on my right, completely on guard. We were scattered in the middle of the land. I let the guards stoop down their positions at the border, giving chance for Ravenous wolves to enter the land and start their attack. But I kept guards around the community for the safety of our females and pups.
My pack is way stronger. In strength and in number. They don’t stand a chance to us. Elon shouldn’t have dared to.
Ashira’s safe with Seth and Zeke at the Ancestral. I assigned fighters around the house for her protection, too. Though I knew Seth could handle it well, not to mind, but Zeke adds with-
“Oh, yeah! I love wars!”
I snapped my head on my left and saw Zeke standing there on his human form. What.the.fuck? Why is this guy here?
I wanted to curse at him but since he’s not from my pack, and I’m in my wolf, I can’t communicate with him.
He looked at me with wide smile which eventually faded when I growled at him. He rolled his eyes at me. “What? My claws need to be stained, too.”
I sighed inside my head. Its alright, Seth can protect Ashira alone anyway.
I ignored him and waited. I could hear the sound of huge paws running to our direction. They’re getting near.
‘Why is the rogue on our side, Alpha Aiden?’ one of the wolf asked.
‘Don’t mind the rogue. Prepare for battle, kill the Ravenous wolves in sight. Don’t. Show. Mercy.’ I send the command to every wolves and they howl their prayers to the Moon for guidance.
It’s dark, but our eyes are used to it. We’re at territory, having the full knowledge of every corner of our land is an advantage to us. A huge disadvantage to them.
My black wolf is shaking and growling, thrilled to taste blood, to torn an enemy in half. One particular enemy to be exact. Reflecting the emotions I feel, wanting to revenge the things I seek refuge of.
Afar, I saw it. A hundred army of wolves running to our direction, prepared, without any hesitation of our numbers.
‘Hundred? Pfft. Is this a joke?’ Nick said in our mind.
We are thrice their number, ready for them. This war hasn’t started yet but the result is clear.
We’ll win this easy.
When Ravenous’ army of wolves reached the certain distance where a clearing is perfect for battle, I howled my command to attack. Loud, echoing through the forest, reaching any living. Haunting the enemy, strengthening the allies.
The growl an Alpha would give to start a war, to charge up the adrenaline of his army.
‘Attack!’
My army of wolves run forward, meeting the enemy with their sharp fangs and claw. I run past the rest, snapping the head of the first enemy who tried to claw me. My wolf watched the poor beheaded body shift back to its human form. Loud howl roared and the rest of the pack took their turn to kill the trespassers.
‘Have each others back, no one of ours will die tonight,’ I growled. “Only them.”
Everything was fast. Wolf heads of the enemy flies everywhere, its not a fair fight, one Ravenous wolf versus three of mine. It adds up when they kill one, jumping from the dead wolf to another breathing enemy.
I let my wolves attack, I know how well they can take down these weaklings. They’re making me proud from proving themselves. Nick kept his place beside me, we both had the same thought.
Our wolves could take them down easily.
I run past them, looking for a particular person. One who I thought would lead out front but not. Where is he? At the back? He’s a coward so that’s where he’ll position himself.
But no, I can’t even smell his old rotten scent.
‘Where is that bastard!?’
‘You don’t think this is another of his pranks?’ Nick questioned.
No. This is not a prank but something is off.
‘He sent half of his wolf for us to kill, Nick. This is war.’
Low growls and huffing can be heard around us. The noise of pain, strength and blood has faded together with the lives of the enemies.
Only my army stands and the rest has fallen.
“Oh, this one right there still breathes, huh.” it was Zeke. He fought in his human form, he didn’t mind to shift since he saw our advantage.
He was about to get closer to the poor foe, gasping and scared for his life. The Ravenous soldier is still young, too young. He has shifted on his human, showing the weakness of his wolf, closing to meet the darkness.
I shifted and stopped Zeke from killing the boy. “Wait.” he halted.
“Ohh. Naked Alpha boy.” Zeke tried to sound humorous but I ignored him. Nick shifted as well as he look around the war field.
I walked closer to the boy laying helplessly on the ground. “Where’s your Alpha?” I said in my commanding Alpha voice.
