The Dominant Alpha

Bloody Battle

The wolves circled each other as Amara tensed, Keith's one pouncing as the other one met him mid-air, both swiping and clawing furiously at each other, the large black one having the upper hand as Keith went flying backwards, his mouth open in a snarl. The other wolf walked up to him slowly and Amara's eyes widened as she saw Keith suddenly still, his head c****d to the side and then suddenly shifting back without warning, kneeling on the ground as the other wolf stood and stared, growling furiously. Amara wondered what had happened. Why had Keith shifted all of a sudden unless.....she suddenly realised that the only one Keith would ever submit to like this would be to Alpha Damien himself. Had her very own stepbrother saved her?

The other wolf shifted, a young but furious looking man standing in it's place. He was the most gorgeous man she'd ever seen, tall with broad shoulders and taut abdomen from working out, his legs long and muscled. His hair blended into the darkness, a mixture of brown and red, his eyes a piercing green. He spared Amara a quick glance and she saw his jaw tighten as he turned and looked at Keith with rage reverberating throughout his entire body.

"What on earth do you think you were trying to do" he shouted as Keith cowered underneath his tone of voice.

"Alpha Damien" he said quietly "we were just having some fun, I swear it was consensual."

So she'd been right it had been her stepbrother thought Amara numbly. She heard Keith's words and began to protest, bringing herself to a sitting position.

"Consensual my ass" Amara shouted at Keith who glared at her "you knocked me out cold you bastard" she sobbed and her stepbrother made a move as if to go to her and then stilled, his eyes staring at Keith with condemnation and utter revulsion.

"You tried to take a pack member without their consent. That constitutes rape and don't lie to me" Damien thundered "because I can see the injuries you've given her and the state of her clothes. You disgust me" he roared as Keith trembled. "Never have I seen such a cowardly and despicable act by one of my pack members before."

Amara was trembling and beginning to shiver from the cold as the wind picked up and the air grew chilly, silence now except for Keith's heavy breathing. Evidently he had just realised how much trouble he was in whereas Amara was in a state of shock, not just from her near miss but the fact she was finally seeing her stepbrother for the first time ever.

"I'm sorry Alpha" Keith apologised "it won't happen again."

"You're damn right it won't. How many other women have you done this too" demanded Damien, his arms folded and Keith stared him right in the face.

"No one" he said quietly.

"Then why her?" Damien asked indicating Amara who sat still as a statue, knowing instinctively what the answer would be.

"She's the only woman to ever refuse me" Keith said slightly angry and sounding puzzled "every other female has been more than happy to be with me, to date me but Amara has always said no, as if I'm something disgusting."

That's because you are Amara wanted to scream, look at what you just tried to do! I knew exactly what type of man you were and I was right. A coward and a pathetic piece of s**t who's never been told no before in his life. Instead she remained silent, doing her best to cover herself up with the shirt she wore and blushing at the awareness that despite it, it was plainly clear she wasn't wearing anything to cover her legs or the area between them thanks to Keith.

"You got told no and thought you would rape her instead" Damien hissed, his hands clenched into fists. "You are the worst kind of coward there is and I'm ashamed that you're a member of the pack at all."

He circled Keith and then stopped behind him, his hand suddenly gripping the mans head as he began to struggle wildly, yanking it sideways and effectively snapping his neck, dropping the man's body without a qualm. Amara watched as though from a distance, Keith's body limp on the forest floor and his blank eyes staring directly at her as she trembled and fought the urge not to scream.

She waited as Damien spat on the ground next to the man and then his eyes met hers and she shivered from the intensity. They narrowed as though taking in her appearance for the first time and the next thing she knew he was right beside her, lending her a hand up as she stood, blushing furiously as he pretended not to notice her nakedness below. Instead his voice was surprisingly gentle as she swayed on her feet.

"Amara" he said softly "are you alright?"

She wondered at the gentleness of his voice after everything she'd just seen but tried to nod weakly, her feet buckling and Amara fainting all of a sudden.

He caught her before she hit the floor, picking her up and cradling her next to his chest. Damien sighed. This wasn't the way he had envisioned them meeting but he thanked god he had made it to her just in time. He'd been going for his nightly run when he'd smelled her close by along with another male and at first thought she had snuck out to have s*x with another man. It had taken one look at her struggling beneath the man's weight to know that hadn't been the case at all and Lucifer had gone to her rescue, Damien having to take control once the man had submitted. Much to Lucifer's chagrin because he had wanted to make the man suffer immensely, a slow and painful death but Damien had told him Amara needed him and he'd calmed down somewhat though was pissed he hadn't gotten to kill the man himself.

Damien began to walk back towards the pack house, gripping Amara tightly, staring down at her and marvelling at her beauty. She was so lovely, so sweet and now he couldn't bring himself to put her back in the omega's bedroom, not with the danger she had just been in. He scowled. So much for Amara's so called guards. He made a mental note to punish them later as he climbed the stairs up to his own bedroom, walking inside and ever so gently depositing Amara onto the bed. Tenderly he placed the blankets over her, seeing how pale she was and how she shivered before climbing onto the bed himself. Thankfully Lucifer was content just to be near her thank goodness considering her ordeal and he lay there, one arm curled over her protectively as he too began to sleep, right beside his mate where he belonged and in his bed where she would remain from now on.
