"I'm out for blood, nothing less." - Zane

Alexander POV

"They are becoming a problem, Alpha. They are launching weekly attacks on my pack, and I can only hold them off for so long."  The look on Alpha Luke's face held that of only concern, for his pack. I would respect someone, an Alpha ten times more, if they ask for help, instead of being spiteful and put their pack at risk. The room went silent as I stood from my chair. All eyes were on me, the Alpha King.

William was seated next to me and Cole stood by the door, making sure that no uninvited guests arrive at our private meeting. 

The room was filled with some of the most important wolves and Alphas, along with their Betas. The tension in the room could be cut with a knife, that is until I speak up. I've earned my reputation, I've worked for this since I was an 11-year-old boy. 

"To ask help, gives you my respect, Alpha Luke. I will send some of my men to help you and your pack. I, along with Monica will visit sometime next week, we can work on a plan to end this, once and for all." I announced. 

The truth is, I won't leave her alone here, and it will be better to have her there, with me and I know she will have some input, just look how she helped the other new pack members, including Phoebe. 

Leaving her side today, after last night was not easy. I've never been connected to anyone, loved anyone so fiercely. Until now. The love I have for her, the love for Lily, it's from two different worlds, but at the same time, it's the same.

A few gasps were all that was heard as I looked at Alpha Luke. Would he really accept help from a she-wolf? My mate? Not allot of Alphas, even male wolves would ever consider help from a she-wolf.

I growled at their disrespect for my mate, as Zane became more agitated.  Alpha Luke was a fairly new Alpha, he must be just a few years younger than me, but I do know, his father waited as long as he could to had the pack over to Alpha Luke. He has been a fairly good Alpha for the last two years.

"I'll take all the help I can get," he said with a slight smirk on his face. 

"Tell me, anything like this ever happened at your pack before?" I asked, finding the whole truth would be a gamble, but it's worth a shot.

"Not that I can remember." he said. "Oh wait.... it would be 27 years this year. I was just a toddler, so I can't remember much. We need to talk to my mother... and father."

I found it strange, 27 years with nothing and then all of a sudden, they target us first and then neighbor packs. Something does not add up.

The meeting progressed without any more surprises or drama. Which was rare, but I accepted it as a good day. I had a radgin headache, which seemed to get worse by the second.

I ignored it, the best way I could, it was only when a shooting sharp pain traveled thought my body, that I realized what the hell is going on.

Monica.

I looked at Cole, the difference is; he was more in control of his emotions. He stared me down and I knew, someone was about to be killed today, by me.

'Get your ass out of this Goddess dam meeting. We need to find them! NOW!' Zane snapped at me, an intense feeling of pain shot through my body again. I knew she needed me, so I gave over, over to the darkness within me. 

I can't lose her.

Not again.

"Turn it off, Alexander! Focus!" William shouted at me. He knew me far too well for his own good, but there is no way I will allow my Beta to talk to me like that. Not now. Not while it feels like my heart is being torn out of my fucken chest! I snapped my head towards William and gave him a fair warning, my canines piercing through my teeth, warning him.

"Cole. Gather the warriors. Now." I spat out. 

"Already done." he snapped back, his eyes pitch black as he gave over to his wolf.  I did not need to tell Cole what to do, his mate was in this mess as well, along with their unborn pup.

I could feel my heart pounding, I've never felt this intense fear within me, it was consuming me, making me wish that I could tear my fucken heart out, just to make the pain stop. There was no choice, I need to get out of here. 

If it's the last thing I do.

"How can we help?" Alpha Luka asked, he looked at me, then to Cole. The other cowards ran out of the room the moment I snapped at William. 

'What a brave bunch of Alpha's.' Zane said coldly. The truth, they are a bunch of weak ignorant fools.

"Come with," Cole demanded, his command overtook that of an Alpha's, but he had a goal. His mate needs him.

"Bella is fine, for now. Lily is okay, Monica covered her during the crash. Nicola is out cold, bleeding, and..." Cole looked at me with the most pitiful eyes. 

"Just fucken say it, Cole." I snapped. I don't need his fucken pity, I need my mate, my daughter.

"He hit her head. There was blood. That is all that Bella could say." He said finally.

Hearing those words was like a kick in my fucken balls. My heart clenched, hanging out in the open like I could count every passing second within me. 

I could feel it rising, Zane was giving into it, much sooner than I thought he would.But if there is one thing I do understand is that I needed a release, from these feelings within me.

So... I gave into who I really am. There was no choice, I can't handle losing her and I am at my strongest like this. They just need to stay out of my path.

I shifted, battling Zane as to who gets control, which I won. This could only mean one thing and I knew it. I was unleashing the monster within me,

Known as,

the ripper.

"Alexander! Stop this, now!" William crashed into me, pushing me into the wall. My body landed with a loud thud, he threw me so hard that the books on the table next to me fell off.

All I could hear was the deafening sound of growling, growling in desperation, fear, and anger. Then I realized.

It was my own growls.

My heart was pounding in my chest, adrenalin rushing through my veins like oxygen. That is all it took to send me into a rampage, I just lost it.

"Those of you who are helping, meet me at the north border in five minutes. Those who choose not to, find yourself another pack before I get back" I spat out through the mind link.

Before they could respond I ran, there is no way I'm waiting for 5 minutes before going. William can handle that. "William. You lead the pack. I'm leaving now." I mind linked him.

"You are a fucken idiot! This could be a trap!" He said back.

I cut him off closing our mind link.

"Alpha." Bella's voice echoes through my mind.

"Yes, You okay?" I linked her back.

"Luna, she wanted to get out, she fell and passed out, but before she did, she asked for you." Her words ran through my spine, like ice landing on your face. My stomach turned within me and I fell something that I rarely feel.

Tears, they were streaming out of my eyes for my mate, I can't do this, not again. I can't lose her.

"Keep Lily close. I'm coming." I said, closing the mind link. All of them.

I stopped at the start of the tree line, my paws digging into the ground, as I took in my surroundings. The faint smell of blood hitting my flaring nostrils, the next wave of faint blood hit me into my guts, it was hers.

 I ran.

As fast as I could, the silence in the forest was replaced by my own thoughts. My paws clenched deep into the earth, drawing bits of sand as I ran and slammed back into the ground. 

I've never felt such a panic in my life. What if I'm too late?  Every moment, every time I kissed her, it played in my head, torturing me. If that was not enough the fucken mating played in my head, our moment of connection drew out the last bit of restrain I could keep on myself.

I pushed myself, the wind drawing through me, trying to slow me down as I ran, for the life of me. I jumped over boulders, trees, through the river, and then after about half an hour of running, I saw it.

The road.

There was no time for thinking. I leaped into the road, landing with a loud thud.

The sounds of breaks shook me out of my thoughts. I jumped out of the way and my eyes cached a glimpse of the car. Revealing no one else but my fucken parents. 

Is this a coincidence? 

I don't think so.

How the fuck did they cross border patrol? 

"William." I linked him, growling. 

"What? We're almost with you?" 

"Don't fuck with me, where is the fucken border patrol? Why are my parents in the pack grounds?" I asked, my voice radiating with anger.

"I can't reach any of them. There is much more going on here Alex. Just wait for us." he pleaded.

"I would rather die, than spend a moment waiting, William." I linked him back, closing the connection.

There is only one way to gain answers. Before they could drive off I jumped in front of them again, ripping the doors open and pulling their bodies out of the car. 

I snapped at my mother, my teeth snarling as I felt my lips tremble. I was so close to losing it.

"What's the matter, son? Mate problems?" She spat out, laughing like an evil witch.

I growled at her again, warning her to shut her fucken mouth.

'Just kill her and let's get this over with.' Zane demanded.

"I would think very carefully what you do next, Alpha King, Alexander." my father spoke.

I turned to him, I have had enough of this dick. Fuck this. I lifted my head above him, looking down at his pathetic body. I gave one growl, digging my paws into the ground.

"Very well then," he said. Just then a bunch of wolves', vampires and goddess know what else emerged from the forest. All staring me down. My senses went into overdrive, begging me to let loose.

'Oh, it's playtime! Let me at them!'

"Zane! I don't have time for this! I need, no we need to find her!' I snapped back at him.

'Two minutes, tops. They will be dead. All of them. I'm out for blood, nothing less.' he spat back at me.

'Very well.' I said, handing over control to him. With a loud growl and few low growls, Zane made his presence known.

"Welcome, Zane! It will be a great day. The day we kill you, we have already started the process of terminating your child." my father said. 

Lily... fuck. He can't be serious? Can he? Zane gave him another warning. Snapping his mouth over my father's head. That must have set them all off, before I could realize it Zane was pushed into a tree by six wolves.

I could do nothing but watch. 

Their first mistake? Touching Zane. He hates it, well... unless it's Lily or Monica. 

He stood up, proud, and angry. His nostrils were flaring as he stared at them again. Parents of the year! Both turned into their wolves and attacked me. It seemed like the little spectators are here to help them if they need it. Which they would.

"Zander. Zane. Whoever you are now, listen here." the familiar voice of Cecile made Zane even more pissed, as she emerged from the forest.

My head snapped in her direction as she stepped closer, she was just inches from me. 

"So sorry for your loss, Alpha," she said, spitting Zane's face.

I saw Zane snap his teeth into her neck. He was holding on to her, cutting her air supply completely.  He pushed her to the ground his paws digging into her flesh as he ripped her head from her body. Within seconds my mother was on Zane, trying to take a bite at my through. I ripped her head off with one movement.

Tossing it in the direction of her chosen mate. 

My father.
