Alpha Xander
Chapter 48

I gasped in fright as she opened the door, letting the warriors and Royal guards rush in; I numbered them seven, and all had weapons.

"Alpha!!!" They all screamed in shock staring at my Dad's lifeless body having the dagger dug In his chest, I could see the terror in their eyes mixed with anger and glimmer of happiness which they tried hiding.

"The Alpha is dead?" Terry, the head of the Royal guards gulped and raised his gaze at me, the others also moved their stare to me, it was clear they were waiting for an order as they had sighted Lena who stood beside me, I could glimpse blood which was splattered on her palm showing clearly that she was the killer.

"We are sorry, pardon our incompetence, please punish us for not coming earlier, we are useless and allowed the Alpha died right in his pack house, we are stupid and deserved to die!" Terry added and fell to his knees, bowing to the ground while the others joined him,

They kept pleading and bowing continuously fearing what I would do to them. They were sure of losing their lives for letting it happen before their arrival, that was how cruel they knew me to be.

I had never been merciful, especially when a duty is being neglected. I kill immediately without giving any chance for appealing and crying for mercy, I had hated hearing pleas from anyone.

"Please let us kill her in the most gruesome way, we would make her death slow and the most painful ever recorded, we are highly saddened for the death of the Alpha..." He pleaded again without having the courage to raise his gaze to me.

I glanced at Lena, and she was also looking at me, the moment our eyes met, I felt my stupid heart cringe at her dazzling eyes which seemed to be a charm go my soul, it won't let me get angry at her.

"How could a little girl kill the great Alpha? We all know Xavier is very powerful, how did she murder him?" I threw the question at them, taking a deep breath in and out, I was about to stand by Lena and saved her from any punishment even when it was my father who she killed, I still wanted to protect my mate.

"We heard of that letter sent by Lynn, and it is all obvious right here that she is the one, give your order, and we are going to shred her body into pieces also burning it into ashes," He growled.

"What made you think you can do all that?... I opened the door myself because I'm very sure no one of you can lay a finger on me if a battle is set, so just take your heartless Alpha out and bury him!" Lena chipped in, and her words seemed to be a trigger to the men as they all shifted into their wolves.

Without waiting for my order, they all attacked Lena who looked undisturbed, just as they got closer, she made a quick shift into a dragon-wolf beast just like mine, her white wings spread out as she flew up from the ground, from her mouth, she spat out hellish fire that circled the wolves,

I stared at her in utmost surprise. Her hair was pure white and linen, flowing down to her back beautifully, I could see her eyes fill with rage and sadness even when it was shining bright white like a diamond.

There was no different in her beast with mine, she had the wings, strong claws and every appearance was like mine, Lena who had been all weak and useless has turned out to be the same hybrid as me, she looked as powerful as me and could equally spit fire which was like hell...

"I can kill you all in a twinkle of an eye, but I won't, you all aren't the enemy I'm after!!" She spoke out with her voice deep, it echoes through every angle of the walls.

I couldn't hold back my grin as I watched her descend to the ground slowly, my heart was thumping with extreme joy knowing, really, that she is my mate and the lady I was fated to be with by the moon goddess.

"Please, we are sorry!!!!" Every single warrior, including Terry, all lay to the belly as fear took the better part of them. They were shivering so hard.

"You won't want the fire to burn down the entire house, so put it out..." She shrugged and turned to me as she shifted back to her human form.

I smiled sweetly while she did the same, and my heart fluttered at how beautiful she looked.

"Lena, was that you, just now?" I gasped, biting my lower lips as I tried forcing myself from screaming like a baby in happiness.

She cradled my hand.

"Let's leave here before the fire burns us," she giggled, and I couldn't help carrying her into my arms as we head to my room, which was quite far from the razed one.

I could catch a glimpse of the magicians who were called in immediately, they were going to put out the fire in a few seconds.

My father was also carried out before the fire could get to him, Lena was resting in my arms gently like a weak wolf, she looked like the Lena who had always depended on me for everything, but I'm conscious of the changes in her, I'm aware of the rare hybrid she is. I thought I and Xavier was the only one with this power. Never had I thought Lena also had it, and she looked fiercer in her powers than me. I had likewise noticed the sadness that appeared in her eyes.

Carefully, I lay her on the bed...

"Xander, did I kill anyone?" She asked softly, blinking those charming eyes.

"No, you didn't, your beast knew who the enemy was and didn't care to hurt them, why had you hide this power from me all this while and I had been so stupid to think of rejecting you, I had been the most insane creature on earth!!!" I swallowed hard, and she shut her eyes, smiling a bit.

"Do you feel any sadness each time you shift into your beast?" She asked slowly, and my eyebrows arched at her question. I was about asking her that because I was yet to believe we were the same.

"Yes I do, extreme sadness that makes my heart heavy, that had been the reason I don't shift into my dragon-wolf, I can't bear that misery and guilt," I replied with my eyes drooping.

"I also felt it. Do you know why that sadness rests in our hearts?" she asked with a sniff.

I exhaled heavily as I thought deep into her question, which flashed my mind back to something that made me yelped.

"Are you really from the Blood Moon Pack?" I quizzed her, and she nodded slowly with her eyes getting wet.

"The grief comes from their outcries for revenge" she mumbled, and my eyes also became real wet with tears even when I tried pushing it back. It won't stop forming,

I could recall the sobs I had been hearing each time I shift into my beast, I had ignored it all because I couldn't tell who they were, but after replaceing out about my real pack, The Blood Moon Pack, I got to realize it was the cries of their tortured soul. "We have one enemy!" She breathed and I nodded even without understanding who she was referring to, she smiled a bit and sat up.

"That person is Lucifer, he is almost succeeding in getting his heart desire through Dracula" she muttered while I sat beside her.

"Really?..." I frowned with a clenched fist.

"We can only fight him together, that's only if you truly love him and would accept me as your mate" she mumbled and raised those enchanting eyes to my face.

I gulped and flickered my eyes at her words, it made me giggle.

"Lena, I am sorry for being stupid all this while, you are mine." I growled and moved my tongue over the Mark beside her neck, causing her to chuckle.

"I can feel your breath, your heart, I can hear your inner voice, I can also see your wolf, Alpha Xander" she mumbled, and I giggled at her sweet words.

"Yes, and I'll be your alpha, protecting you with my life, I don't mind killing anyone who hurt you" I beamed,

"So what will you tell them about your father, they are aware I murdered him" she sighed.

"You should keep your promise while I break mine, I was a fool thinking I'd kill you when I meet you, I promised dad to kill you but less did I know your life is attached to mine, once you die, I'm also dying too" I cooed, and she drew my head closer with my collar. "You will announce me as your mate" she laughed and pecked my lips before stepping out of the bed. "I'm now a strong werewolf!!!" she squeaked and shifted into her white wolf, which looked so furious and big, its eyes were ocean blue and had passion in it as it stared at me.

I could hear my wolf nudge me to let it out, but I wasn't in the mood. I needed to check on my father.

"So that's me now, let's go take care of the pack!" She grinned, shifting back to her human form swiftly.

She took my palm with those sweet smiles,

"A Pack always have a Luna, right?" I muttered with a cheesy smile, and she nodded like a baby, pulling down the knob of the door.

"I'll be made the next Alpha, Dad never had a Luna, I would be having you beside me then," I laughed, and she rolled her eyes playfully, making me grin.

I was happy to have Lena, I was so glad and felt on top of the world, but less did I know what awaits me in the future, it was like a dream come true to have a mate like Lena, to fall in love and become soft instead of the cruel Xander I was known for.... Never had I known that a day will come when I would regret it all. The war ahead was more than I expected, the type that would either take my life or that of my mate.

Lena's POV.

The smiles in my face vanished the moment we stepped out of the room, I knew it was about to begin, I had become unconscious after he marked me because my spirit wolf left my body and I had met with the moon goddess who had revealed my identity to me. I was not only going to avenge my pack but would also be the one to save the whole America pack, I was chosen to do that because Lucifer was finally down to the earth to lay his wrath on every werewolf kingdom.

"I choose you, he did the same to Dracula, war is about to begin on earth, the burden is on you and Alpha Xander"

That was the word from the moon goddess before I opened my eyes.

I felt the strange powers that filled me, once again, Zoe has opened his eyes, my wolf saw him again and screamed.

I had thought it would disappear then but this time, it broke the cage and chains which held it down, that had made powers circled through my whole body,

Zoe, who looked more like an ancient dragon beast, had entered Elena my little weak wolf and had turned it into a ravaged and powerful wolf.

The moment I woke up, I had heard the door sprang open, and Alpha Xavier walked in speedily in his wolf form.

It was clear in his eyes that he came to kill me but never had he thought of what I had become, I attacked back unexpectedly and had brought him down with a single blow, I recalled the promise I made to Lillian and that forced me stab his chest with the dagger. "I pray we survive to the end. The battle is tough!" I muttered, glancing at our palms, which were locked together.
