(Book 2) – Chapter 43
Leif walked into the circle as the warrior who held Diamond down takes her body off the field. “Her and Faiths bodies are not to be burned where we honor our passed pack members. They were traitors so they will be dug a grave on the far end like my father was and this Beta will be. If there is anything left of him, that is. ” He jerked his head toward the wolf holding the Beta and he drags him to the middle of the circle making sure to have him kneel in the Faiths b***d.
He walked toward the man who couldn’t look him in the eye but wouldn’t should remorse by looking at the ground. He knew he was in deep s**t and thought if he showed how strong he was then maybe someone would take pity on him. I personally thought it was a smart strategy but he crossed too many line to stay living and trusted in any pack. I hoped the next pack didn’t have any issues. I needed a break between having my heat at the first pack and all this drama here I may need to take a day to myself or with Melissa shopping for s**t we don’t need.
“This beta is a traitor to our pack by willing following our treacherous leaders while knowing what they were doing would hurt us in the end. He followed my father’s orders to kill the girl I had planned on taking as a chosen mate. They lied about it to not only the girl’s parents and I but to every single one of the pack. That debt can never be repaid but I hope with this Wolf’s life and the one that I’ve already taken in my father’s it helps heal a part of your heart.” He is looking at a pair of wolves standing at the edge of the circle. They must be her parents because they have tears in their eyes and they are nodding in agreement with him.
The pack started howling in pain before turning it into a triumph. They knew Leif was going to take them places and I knew this pack would be a force to be seen when they joined us for the war. I knew that they wouldn’t be able to join us till last minute with getting everything fixed and the hard work they would be putting in. I couldn’t wait to see the changes and who he chose as the other leaders.
“Normally just like Princess Ryder had done I would just kill you but I have something else in mind. See I want to see that look of hope in your eyes and then when I finally see it I’m going to rip it away. So I’ll let you fight me and if you win you can be alpha and when I win I’m going to rip your guts out.” With that Leif growls before he turns into his wolf. His wolf is big, almost as big as my wolf, and dark black with his eyes just as dark.
The warrior lets go of the Beta and steps back into the circle with a smirk on his face. Everyone here knows how this is going to go and I can tell the Beta feels the same way but he’s putting on his mask to act like a cocky winner. He chuckles and shouts, ‘fairs Fair and when I win I’m just going to run this pack into the ground and start up my own. No one cares about your family or their legacy.’
He transforms into his money Brown average size wolf and I just start full out laughing.
I can’t make myself stop no matter how many times my mates tell me to take this seriously all while I’m getting funny looks. I’m laughing so hard I have tears rolling down my eyes and both of the wolves are looking at me. “So sorry. It’s funny to me watching a toddler speak big words. Leif kick his a*s.”
With that leif runs at the Beta and latches on to his back leg with his teeth before the beta could even make a move. He tries to rip his leg away from the alpha but the only thing that happens is the tearing of the muscle in the leg. The Beta whines out in pain while the Alpha lets go shaking the b***d off his muzzle before quickly taking a hold of the other back leg. He does the same thing to it before backing up and waiting to see what the beta will do. The Beta drags his upper body farther away from Leif before falling down. I felt bad for him with his back leg muscles torn to hell and him bleeding out. The alpha turned back into human form and asked him if he gave up. The wolf whined out a yes and we all let out a breath. We knew what was coming next and I was not a fan of someone being gutted.
Leif switched to his wolf before attacking the Beta. He didn’t last long before taking his last breath but the Alpha kept taking him a part. I couldn’t look away because this was a justified kill and we had to support him. I just hoped it would be over soon.
