Chapter 22
Amelia
Over the past week since I arrived, there have been multiple attacks on different packs, all of them being left with property destroyed, some dead and multiple injured. The message has been clear to us, it's either we hand over Tristan or the packs will suffer.
Most of the packs that were attacked sided with us once they realized Tristan was only a child and that Agron planned on killing him in order to take his powers.
Other packs with less moral codes thought we should just hand him over if it was going to save the werewolf community without understanding that Tristan dying at Agron's hand would just be the tip of the iceberg on the chaos he would rain on earth. God's like him have no moral compass because after all, all they want is power and dominion, to be worshipped and to have the world at their feet.
He doesn't care who he has to destroy on the path to his success and that alone makes him dangerous.
But some of these packs don't see that or they don't want to accept that. They think it's as easy handing over an innocent child to him and he will gladly back off, going on his merry way and living happily fucking ever after.
That is why we are here today, in this stupid hall filled with a bunch of alphas full of testosterone each one of them beating their chests thinking that they are better than the others and that their strategies are the ones that should be used.
It's bullshit because they have no idea what they are up against.
I was seated next to Xavier and none of them knew who I was, or more to the point who I became.
The few that recognize me just know that I am the scorned mate of Xavier who everyone thought had died by suicide.
It is not really a good image and I truly hate it.
"All we are asking is that you maintain the alliance and stand with us. My pack has helped most of yours in one way or another and I am asking for the same favor" Xavier's voice is deep and husky, commanding and capturing the attention of every alpha in the room.
"Do we even have a winning chance if we decide to go against him?" Alpha Luke, the only one of the alpha's I truly know, since he and his pack have interacted with Xavier's.
Both he and Xavier were about five when his pack moved and made settlements bordering Xavier's pack
"I mean, we are talking about a god here... the god of death to be precise, I don't know about the rest of you but I would prefer not to be dead" he continued.
Luke is hot, I have to admit that. With his ash blond hair, whisky brown eyes, a chiseled jawline, fit body and lips that you could kiss all day. Too bad he is also the worst player I know.
Whoever his mate is sure has a lot of work in front of her getting him to commit because the way I see it he loves his bachelor life and he isn't slowing down anytime soon.
"You are such a pansy ass pussy...we are going to die one way or another but at least we have lived, but what about Xavier's son? He is still a child with his whole life ahead of him" an older alpha, who looks to be around sixty says.
I can't help but be grateful to him for standing with Tristan.
"I am with alpha Charles on this one, nothing is worth sacrificing an innocent child, imagine if he was your own...we may have animals in our basic DNA but we protect our young at all cost" another alpha adds and holy smokes, he is a hottie.
He has the whole bad boy vibe. With brown hair cropped close to the scalp and blue eyes.
His whole bad boy persona is complete with tattoos and a lip ring. If I was more open with sex, I would have totally done him, because that lip ring is sure to feel absolutely amazing when is going down on me.
"Agron doesn't just want Tristan, Tristan is just a stepping stool he needs to get the powers he wants to enslave the world, turning every human, every wolf into his mindless puppet just like with the undead and forsaken" Xavier adds doing his best to convince the remaining alphas to join our cause.
I look around and find most alpha's nodding.
As much as they do get on my nerves with their male bravado, I do have to agree that they are all hot, well except the old alphas that is.
Of course not Xavier level hot but none the less. I pause a while in my thoughts wondering why the hell I just thought that Xavier was better looking than all the rest.
Maybe being surrounded by so many good looking men has an effect on the female hormone system because mine was on overdrive. I needed to get laid and I would take care of that little issue once we finished the meeting.
Involuntary my eyes land on one of the alpha. Something about him set me on edge but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. His hair was thin and oily, he had a large pot belly, and his clothes were disheveled.
His face wasn't pretty to look at all but that wasn't what had me on edge. It was his eyes, there was something there, something not quite right, something sinister and this is confirmed when he opens his mouth.
"I say we just toss him to the god, it's not like Alpha Xavier can't fuck his bitch up and get her pregnant with another pup" he says in a sneer
"Soon they will forget the little bastard causing all these problems even existed" he adds.
The moment he says that I see red. Pure and completely red.
He called my son a bastard, Tristan who could not even hurt a fly then went ahead to suggest that we toss him to Agron as if he was a sack of potatoes.
Without even realizing it, Onyx takes over at both our distress at someone threatening our child and soon we have him pinned to the wall, our claws digging into his throat.
I know we had agreed to keep my true identity only within the pack but to hell with that. All the alphas scramble to get out of my way but my focus was mainly on alpha douche bag.
I can hear Xavier calling my name in the background but his voice is far away, almost as if I am under water.
Changing form is easy for me when I am in battle mode but hiding my goddess aura is hard.
The sharp inhale of breathes manages to penetrate my ears making me aware that everyone in the room now knew who I truly am.
The man before me just gives me a smirk, almost as if he knew this the whole time which makes me tighten my hold on his throat causing him to cough out.
The look in his eyes intensified and I finally figured out what had me on edge.
This alpha whoever he was had already aligned himself with Agron and was one of his followers.
What I can't figure out is whether it was by choice or not. Was he already dead and Agron took over his body like the rest of the undead and he has managed to hide the fact that he was already dead.
I take a sniff but I don't scent the smell of decay that usually accompanies the undead. So that means he aligned himself willingly.
"I see you have already figured it out" he leers and I can't help but shudder at how creepy he was looking at me, but I don't answer him, there was no need of wasting my breath on such a scumbag.
By the looks of it he was already too far gone and there was no bringing him back.
"You kn-ow what we a-re going t-to do to him? we a-a-are going t-t-to rip out hi-hi-his beating heart, but n-not before we to-torture hi-m for the trouble you-you have caused usss" he murmurs struggling to pull in air to his lungs, right before he cracks out laughing, a laughter so evil that it chills my bone.
"I'll meet you in hell before I ever let you near my son" I don't think, after that, just react.
Twisting his neck, I ripped his head clean from his shoulders, his disgusting blood spraying me before I had the chance to take a step away from his fallen body.
I turn and look at the people in the room, his chilling laughter still echoing on all four walls of the hall.
Scanning them, some are on their knees while some just stare at me with varying degrees of shock and astonishment to confusion.
"You know, we could have interrogated him before you chose to silence him for good, right?" Xavier asks smirking.
His arms are folded across his chest, muscles bulging out and his feet in a wide stance. Making me smile a little.
"I heard all that I needed to hear" I said shrugging my shoulder.
Pulling back all my powerful aura I nod to those who had knelt giving them the all clear to get up. Luke clears his throat, making all of us turn to him.
"Xavier? When were you going to fucking tell us that your mate was powerful and a goddamn goddess?"
Xavier doesn't reply, just continues to stare at them, his face back to looking like it was carved out of stone. I feel like I should add the fact that I was no longer his mate and that Bianca is, but I chose not to, my mind focused on how to defeat the evil bastard and make sure he doesn't get his filthy hands on my son.
"Since we have you on our side and you are more powerful than all of us combined, how are we going to go about this?" another hot alpha with jet black hair and a sexy voice asks.
"It is simple really, we are going to kill a god" I reply with a smirk, making everyone else in the room except for Xavier, l
