The hilt of the blade stuck out of his chest.
The way the room echoed with silence, to the point that even Alpha Memphis was rendered speechless at the sight, only made my eyes slowly peel away to meet the true expression of triumph on Felicia’s drenched face.
“There,” she panted with a sinister grin. “No weapons. Just fists.”
“Let’s beat this bitch into a fucking coma!”Bria encouraged, followed with a howl that only pushed me to charge at her. She screamed like this was her final battle cry as she charged forward only to get tackled down with enough force that it sent us right into the fence.
I used it to my advantage as her clothes and flesh got caught in the wire net, leaving me to punch the shit out of her with a frustrated grunt. I punched her over and over, to the point that all I could focus on was each grunt, gasp, and squeaky whimper that left her parted mouth.
That I then literally popped with another direct punch.
Blood spattered, bones cracked, and yet it wasn’t enough for me. I kept going until the bitch wasn’t even moving anymore, and even that wasn’t enough to diffuse the palpable anger inside me.
Maybe this was the true definition of when one “snapped” but I didn’t predict seeing a blade pierce into Malachite’s chest being the trigger to my rage. I literally didn’t stop until I’d surely broken the bones in my own fists, and even then, I rose to my feet with my blood-dripping hands and went on a kicking spree until my body burned as harshly as my lungs from the lack of oxygen.
When I finally came to a stop, I was breathless, dripping with sweat and blood, while my body shook with adrenaline. All my tattoos, markings, and incantations were on display, some glowing furiously while others were mere symbols of my hustle through the years.
The hair tie that kept my hair up was long gone, my strands now down and white as snow, and I could only imagine how my eyes looked with their burning scrutiny as I glared down at Felicia’s body, which merely twitched from the aftermath.
“That’s all you fuckers know how to do. Torment me. Push me. Fucking judge me! Then you have the bloody nerve to try to hurt what’s MINE?!” I kicked her again, knowing well I wouldn’t get a response from her. “Well, GUESS WHAT?! I’m not taking that bullshit anymore! No more being a pawn in everyone’s fucking game! No more being mocked and ridiculed for not being a guy or a wolf or whatever fucking expectations you have! I’m Alpha Willow Alundra Phoenix! I’m the Alpha of the De Luca Pack now and if anyone wanna DARE doubt what I can do, I’ll fucking destroy you!”
I grinned cynically as I spat out the pool of blood in my mouth.
“You question my ruling, you can get the fuck out of this pack, for I won’t sit around and let you ruin my father’s name! You won’t destroy his legacy with your weakened walls of loyalty. You dare have the fucking nerve to gather here and ponder about if I can lead this pack, yet there were Russian fuckers within our own Pack House and y’all didn’t sense SHIT!” My voice boomed through the underground space, and I swore the very walls shook with my rage.
“You think I couldn’t hear the internal monologues of you bashing me the last two days? The countless thoughts of uncertainty as to how a weak, fragile bitch is going to run the glorious, notorious De Luca Pack? Every hour. Every minute. Every fucking second. You weak fuckers questioned my worth when you can’t do shit! Y’all think you can be Alpha? That you can stand in this fucking ring and fight me? THEN COME HERE AND LET’S GO!”
The silence was truly deafening, and I laughed in pure mockery as I let my aura surge through the room. Bria walked right to the edge of the surface to further empower me as I made my stance.
As I finally prepared to dominate these wolves once and for all.
“You all listen well for I’ll never repeat myself to the likes of any of you! Roberto De Luca was MY father. My Papa Dearest didn’t waste his time raising a weak bitch! If you can’t trust that he left this pack in good hands, then walk the fuck out of here and never come back, but mark my fucking words. Anyone who dares remain and even THINKS of betraying me will enjoy far worse than what you witnessed,” I vowed before my voice further dripped and I lifted my head in.
“But if any of you dare lay a finger on the men and woman of my Forbidden Pack, I’ll enjoy skinning you alive while tracking and killing every individual in your family line and being rid of their existence. I’ll ensure that I unalive every person you cherish, and after I skin, torture, and kill you, I’ll enjoy getting my men to revive your asses and start the process up all over again.”
Not a pin drop could be heard as my words echoed through the hollow walls.
“So make your decision. If you wish to be Alpha, step right up. If you want to leave, get the fuck out while you have the legs to do so. If you don’t have the guts to do either, then suck it up and prepare to have a woman leading your pack.”
This was my ultimate stance, and I waited for many to depart and leave the pack they thought would be buried to the ground by all those who were desperate to squish us like ants, but all those who doubted my strength were proven wrong in this instance, which would be the fate for any of our opposing packs who dared to think we’d be the perfect target to try to challenge.
It's only a matter of time before they’re all forced to accept the consequences of their foolish assumptions, and those will be the days of entertainment for me and my Forbidden pack as we prove to all of them that we’re not the ones to mess with.
After all, we were forbidden for a reason: we were endangered wolves that can’t be outcast or tamed.
We were born to rule and to claim our rights in wolf domination.
I noticed the first movement, and I prepared for many to follow suit in exiting the underground space, but they instead did the unexpected.
My eyes landed on Baku first.
As he knelt down to one knee.
The single move invited the next as wolf shifter after wolf shifter bowed down to one knee and further lowered their heads in submission. I didn’t let my guard down, waiting for some sort of surprise ambush as more continued to lower to their knee and bow their heads, but it was only a matter of time before the entire room of wolves was bowing as I was remained still and watched in actual astonishment.
Even Alpha Memphis was on one knee, his expression showing immense pride. All my men were lowered to the ground. Not one person left nor said a word, and their actions proved I was worthy of their loyalty.
I knew the moment they departed this place, the word would spread quickly, and the energy and shift in respect in this place would be far different than all the years I’d lived within these walls.
