KANE

Such things are dangerous and rare, and I hold the last one.

I put the blade down on my desk as Sylvie remains watching my every move carefully.

"A deal is a deal, your family has a fresh slate." I sigh out as I lean back in my chair and watch her.

The relief covers her pale face.

She stands and bows in front of me with her pale and slender body as I watch bored. "Thank you, my family and I will forever be in debt to you Alpha King."

She glances at the sword one last time and then she turns and leaves the room, closing the door behind her. I peer down at the blade before me as it glows a soft orange, its divine power true.

I just hope it still remembers me and my family. It's fine to correct the wrongs of the Vale, and only I can fix this shit that Braum has caused.

The door is open abruptly as Larson stands there breathing hard, his wolf visible as his eyes glow. "The girls.." he breathes out heavily and I sit up straight more alert.

His anger is visible as he growls out. "One of them got Emma, I felt it.. I felt it touch her, that fucking thing!" He growls out angrily as he kicks a chair across the room.

I stand up alarmed. "What the fuck are you talking about?" I say angrily.

"LUCAS!" I growl out loud, my voice vibrating the room.

I pace the room as my wild eyes fixate on Larson. "Tell me everything, NOW!" I grit out.

His clenched fists turn white as he snarls. "On the road, that thing was waiting for them.. for Sora, my mate.. my mate tried to defend them, she's injured but she is alive." He says, his voice shaky.

I knock the vase from the desk with so much force it breaks into a million pieces, I feel my rage taking over as my fixation on revenge is crawling all over my skin, whispering to me to do what I must, to do it now..

Lucas comes barging into the room, sweat dripping from his brow. "They're safe." He breathes out heavily. "I just got word, Miller made it in time and he's with the girls, Emma is awake and Sora and Amanda are fine, they have been moved to a safe house." He says thankfully as he grips his head in frustration.

I feel my horns grow sharp and my teeth enlarge as my sight turns dark, my eyes now a pitch black. Fear in both of the men in front of me as they watch me consume the anger that holds me. How fucking dare Braum try shit like this, knowing how mad it will make me, he must truly wish for a painful death, one I will gladly deliver.

"Prepare the men, NOW" I growl out.

"He's going to wish he were dead... I will make sure of it." I grit my teeth as the words dripped with promise.

"I will kill all who dare harm mate!" Dex snarls out angrily.

Benjamin doesn't know now but he will... I will make sure he knows what happens when you piss me off.

Grabbing the blade I attach it to my side to prepare myself and try to calm down. I can't go like this, not yet. I refuse to lose myself before I make it there, I need to hold on and wait. If I lose myself here I don't know if I will ever recover from the damage I want to do.

A figure in the doorway makes me look up with piercing black eyes as a guard bows then raises his head, his eyes show terror as he begins to speak. "Alpha King, Elizabeth has taken the vial and is undergoing the effects, the legion is ready to go on your order."

"Escort Elizabeth and her children out the Vale, she is not go be harmed, on my orders." I stare down at the man who is cowered before me.

"Yes Alpha king."

I make my way out of the building as Larson, Lucas and Marcus stand waiting by the door, we are all prepared to end this once and for all, no more hiding in the shadow of the castle on top of us and the city. We will take Castle Black from the grasps of Orion and Braum WILL die.

My legion stands before me, ready as they all bow in sync as call out 'Alpha King'.

Every step I take through the thousands of those with me, every step I feel myself becoming more.. becoming the real me, the thing of horror stories wolves told their children about, my curse, the very thing that makes me who I am.

My wings unfold from my back, black as night and sharp as blades they spring free, those beside me stepping back in fear at the sound of the 'woosh' of the blades as I stretch them wide and free. I crack my neck as I feel my body grow stronger, stronger than I can describe to a mere wolf.

I feel my best and worst self as I make my way to the front, those behind following me without fear, without judgment, they stay strong and loyal.

My eyes fixated on the castle as a swarm of Gargoyles and Silth hover around the Castle. The castle that Braum hides like a coward inside. But not for long, I'm coming for him and he knows from the movement of the creatures of the night making noise at my movement.

The night is cold and silent, streets are empty and homes abandoned for fear of death. The air is thick and the mist grows silently through the city, the moon is glowing a violent bloody orange as it sits perfectly in the sky behind the castle I march towards, leading the way for me and my legion.

With each heavy step, I feel the rage deep within me burn as I glare at the sight in front of me, every step igniting the Furness inside me hotter than I've ever experienced in my life before, nothing and no one can stop me now, I'm taking back what is mine, by any means fucking necessary!

The screech of the creatures in the sky tells me what I already know.

It has begun.
