Warrior Princess
Chapter 47

Kasens POV

We were stalking towards the bear’s camp. Witches, Vampires and wolves all fighting side by side. I never thought I would see the day. We arrive and stay hidden, observing. Our forces have surrounded the camp so that no one can escape. The only way to do that is to kill us all and we will not be going down so easily.

The trackers weren’t kidding, there have to be well over 150 bears here. Some look to be training, some look to be drinking coffee and shooting the bull. Then there is a group of them huddled around a table and I spot someone familiar huddled in the middle. Motherfucker. I send out a pack link to the warriors around Samantha and me.

“Jenson from the council is here. I want him captured alive. Am I understood?” I command. Multiple ‘yes alpha’, and ‘yes my king’ are spoken. I look to sam and she is crouched low, ready to pounce. Jake is next to her, and so is their father. They really all do look alike except for their eyes. Rowan is next to them, and I swear the genes of this family are so strong.

“Remember love. You will come home with me.” I link her and nip at her ear.

‘Mate is strong. We will win this.’ Atlas growls out.

‘Yes, yes we will!’

I how loudly signaling to all that we are here, and the battle is starting. Some run out, ready for the fight. Not me, not my mate, not either of our Betas, or our Gamma. We stalk our slowly surveying the field. No one expects us to be here right now. If anything they think it’s just warriors and alphas.

Theo has stalked up next to us. We have one target in mind. That is those at that table. I’ve got my sights set on one weasly councilman who hasn’t noticed us yet in his frantic search of what’s going on. I hate charging into a battle. If you go too fast, you make mistakes.

The superiors at the table have noticed our slow descend. They all shift and charge at us. I give the signal to break off and it’s time to fight.

Jenson notices me and growls at me. ‘So it seems that the mighty King has figured it out.’ I hear in the link. I don’t respond. Only bare my teeth, and raise my hackles.

We start circling each other, and I notice his wolf is small for someone supposedly in the council. He has a limp in his hind leg. He tries to hide it but unsuccessfully. This will be easy. He makes the first move and lunges for my neck. He can’t think it will be that easy, can he?

I twist out of the way and sink my teeth into his h*p. Biting deep into the side with the limp causing even further damage. He struggles to get out of my grip.his paw manages to catch me by surprise and gets my muzzle. With a yelp I drop him and he falls to the ground. Without giving him a chance to stand I pin him with my paws and grip his neck. This really was too easy.

‘SUBMIT now.’ he struggles, looking for ways out of my grasp.

‘Come on Jenson, you and I both know you can’t get out of this. Submit now or I will break your neck.’ A weak man like him who betrays his own kind to side with the enemy is clearly afraid of death.

He wants to replace any way possible to stay in power. And as I suspected he submits with a whimper, shifting back. I call a warrior over and have him cuffed with silver and dosed with wolfsbane.

I assess the field again. These bears are strong, but we are stronger. I spy Theo fighting with an equally large bear. I sense the power rolling off of both of them and it must be one of his brothers. He’s holding his own.

‘Mate. Look for mate.’ Atlas commands out.

My eyes scan until I replace her. She is with Jake taking on a bear shifter. He is large and just like Theo, radiates power. It must be the other brother. It’s mesmerizing how they work in unison. Each knowing the move their twin will make before they make it. They seem to be doing well before they are ambushed from behind. Such a cowardly move.

Before I know it my paws are moving. Jake howls out in pain as the bear that snuck up on them sinks his fangs into his leg. Sam, being his twin felt his pain. She shuddered leaving her vulnerable for an attack. I have to make a decision, protect my mate, or save her brother from being killed. My paws can’t move fast enough. Pushing faster than I’ve ever run before.

‘My king, protect my daughter.’ David commands. I don’t correct him on it.

He lunges at the bear grabbing it by the back of the neck using his weight to pull the bear off of his son. Sam is laying on the ground whimpering from the pain she felt from Jake. Being a twin and having the power can be a gift, but it can also be a burden and used against them. The prince must have figured that out and called for back-up.

I stand over my mate growling menacingly. She shakes off her pain and crawls out and stands beside me. Snapping her jaws at this coward.

‘Are you alright, love?’ I link and she responds with a growl. A growl so low that even I feel sorry for this fucker. No, I don’t actually.

We lunge at the same time. I go for his neck and Sam goes for his belly. Weak points that we know will deliver kill shots. He catches me with a few sipes of his massive paws. I compartmentalize the pain and keep biting. He decides to buck like a wild horse trying to shake us off. Standing on his hind legs and swiping wildly.

‘I have an idea. Distract him.’ she says. I trust her.

I let go of his neck and back up growling and snapping. He takes the bait and takes a step forward and Sam comes up from behind and latches onto the underside of his neck. He lands on all fours and thrashes around. She doesn’t let go though. His jaws are locked and her paws dig into his stomach. He’s losing b***d, a lot of it.

I jump in and grip his neck from the side and pull opposite of her. We pull as hard as we can until I tear out whatever chunk I have between my teeth. He collapses to the ground and the weight of him lands on Sam. I hear her whines and grip the back of her neck like a mother would her pup and pull her out. I check her over for injuries and see nothing that won’t heal by the end of the night.

Assessing around, I see there is only a couple of fights left. One major fight left. That is Theo and his brother. Everyone else has either surrendered or been killed. I stalk over to assist him and he growls.

‘This is my fight.’ I nod in understanding.

Theo shifts back and speaks. “Why, brother? You know he is losing his mind. He is power hungry. The world cannot function properly like this. What he is suggesting is Genocide.” His brother shifts back and I spot the resemblance.

“You are the traitor Theo! You are siding with these mutts? Why, when we can have all the power in the world?” multiple growls sound around.

“No one needs that much power. That is too much power for one person to handle. Not to mention all the innocent lives you and everyone else have already killed. How many more have to die before you realize what you’re doing is wrong?” he shouts.

His brother scoffs. “As many as it will take. We will take this kingdom like we did all the others.” Vampires and witches both step forward.

“You killed women and Children. Infants just pulled from their mother’s womb. Can you justify me that?” Shari yelled. Anger leaking out of her. This psycho has killed innocent children, babies even. There is no justification for that.

“Brother, tell me you didn’t!” Theo yelled on the verge of tears.

“Oh, he did. Because it was my niece. My sister was in labor when you attacked the witch’s coven. She didn’t even get to hold her newborn before you ripped her from the nurse’s arms and shoved a blade into the newborn’s heart! You think I wouldn’t forget your face? You think I wouldn’t forget the screams and cries I heard?” she said throwing a ball of fire towards him. There is no saving his soul. Theo’s face contorts in anger.

“You deserve every bit of a slow death. Slow and painful, but this world doesn’t need you in it a minute more.” He says charging at him shifting halfway there. He pounces on him. Pure muscle colliding together. Theo is fighting with everything he has.

I sit on my hind legs and Sam whimpers. I look into our bond and feel her sorrow. I feel her heart breaking for those who have lost their lives and those who have lost their families. I feel her heart breaking for Shari. My heart breaks for Shari.

Sam walks up to her and sits beside her. I see her shoulders shaking. Her body convulsing with tears and sobs. She clings to Samantha’s fur and lets all of her emotions out. This scene will forever be engraved in my mind. This moment makes my drive to end this war so much faster. I will end this. I will avenge each and every person. I vow it.

We hear a sickening snap and I’m brought back to the battle. Theo has his brother’s lifeless body in his jaws. He walks towards Shari and drops him at her feet. Shifting back he says. “I know it won’t bring them back, but he cannot hurt anyone else anymore. Do what you wish with his body. He doesn’t deserve a proper burial. I am truly sorry for the actions my family has taken.” He says.

She grabs his shoulder, and they have a silent conversation. Tears flow down both of their faces. Jake and David have joined us. I nod at David and my beta and look around. Assessing the how many are wounded, how many lost their lives, how many prisoners we now have. We lost 3 during this battle.

“Gather the wounded and the fallen. We will hold a funeral this evening for them. Let’s go home.” I command into the link.
