Kalan frfr - I Gotta Know

Maxwell's Jr. POV

I watched Saint laugh uncontrollably, teasing me that he had something to do with me and my sister's powers disappearing. For the time being, it hurt my soul.

I growled in his direction, getting myself ready to charge. He should be more vulnerable in his human form, even without my powers.

As I prepared to charge, I quickly formulated my battle plan. However, his words caused me to pause briefly, bringing me to a halt.

"Let's begin shall we," he said then waved in our direction. Smiling evilly killing intent radiating off him.

Suddenly, 15 wolves appeared at full speed in his direction. They were warriors nun the less, and I was surprised he had such a large backup.

It made me realize how well-prepared he was, and I understood that I shouldn't take him lightly. I need to treat him with the seriousness he deserves.

Instead of confronting him directly, I provided backup for the people closest to me - my sister and Justin were okay.

Meanwhile, I was focused on taking care of our parents. Austin and Stacy, his mate, seem to be facing the issue of being outnumbered and overwhelmed. Austin is struggling to protect Stacy and he needed my help.

I was running toward them and I noticed, Austin was pinned down by several wolves. Stacy was pinned down as well but you could see the fear present in her eyes and I knew it was bad.

A brawn brown wolf growled loudly, then bit on Stacy's neck, she yelped in pain. Austin gathered all the strength he could muster and got up attacking blindly at all who was near. One last remote attempt to save his mated love.

It seemed like he could fix it he could save her and keep attacking to help protect his pack. She looked at him now eyes full of tears, thinking about all the life she and him could have had together. The pups, The marriage, The getting old, and watching their grandkids grow up.

A Real Life, something they wouldn't have together.

SNAP

Stacy goes limp, eyes rolling back, and slowly stops breathing. The wolves around all scattered for the time being, leaving Austin to turn and scream.

"STACY!!!!!!"

He grabbed her limp body, crying whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

"I'm so sorry, I should have protected you. My baby, please don't leave me. Please, please, please." he was now bawling in her arms.

My heart broke for him, I don't know what I would do if I lost my forever love. Throughout the fighting, I could hear the howls of mourning from our warriors.

It let us know that they understand even under stress the heartbreak their brother was feeling right now, I couldn't stay for too long to mourn. It was a fight I needed To finish at the end of the day.

So I told him all that I could at the time and gave him the biggest hug I could. "I am so sorry brother. I wish I could have moved faster to save her, we will give her a proper rest let's focus on the task, as getting distracted by the future burial will only lead us to the same fate as hers"

Picking him up, he nodded his head, indicating his understanding of the task at hand. Shifting back into his wolf form, he ran towards the nearest person who could have required our assistance. It turned out to be my father's beta and his mate, who needed help with the overwhelming wolf presence.

Together, my Beta, my Dad Beta, his wife, and I did our best to bite through the reinforcements. We easily cut through their numbers as if slicing through butter with a hot knife.

I noticed Saint getting annoyed as we continued to keep up with them without using our powers, or the fact is we couldn't use our powers.

He finally shifted to let us know he was finally getting serious with us. I smiled A wolf smile, finally thinking to myself, we can finally give this on the road, so my beta and a few others charged at him at full speed.

I stopped suddenly, along with the others, hearing a mind link come in from my father. He said,

let me handle this,

We agreed so we started attacking the reinforcements again, giving my father the space and backup he needed to get this over with finally.

As my dad attacked him, they were going at it repeatedly, snapping at each other's necks. Snapping and scratching. it was a sight to see. It was giving me the vibe. If I had told my father that I wanted to be Alpha before I could, this is how our fight would have looked.

Witnessing two wolves of such an ancient bloodline fight to the death is a rare sight. Despite my father's apparent advantage, I wanted to help him, but his pride prevented me from intervening. However, as I observed, it became clear that Saint had gained the upper hand and was tearing into my father's belly.

They both were worn from war so I could tell, that Saint was knocking on death's door and that means so was my father at this point.

Suddenly, I felt a growl building up inside me, a fierce determination to help him no matter what. Before I could even move, I saw my sister spring into action. She darted towards our father, leaping into the air to catch Saint off guard. His focus was on my father and the injuries he had sustained from him.

This was good now we would finally turn the tables. I spoke too soon; my sister hadn't yet reached our father. Saint bit my father after he growled so loud I was shocked frozen.

Saint was on top of my father with a mouth full of fur and flesh. I could hear my father choking on his blood, and all I could think is how could my dad lose.

Lose to His Nephew Saint.

******************************************

Damn will Maxwell sr die outchea? I thought he was hardbody the way he was acting all this time. I feel for Austin I know it must be tuff losing a mate but I think the moon goddess gives some second chance mates 🥴 So If Saint did kill Max sr is his job complete. Would that be a good thing or bad thing ? Revenge is a powerful drug.
