Devon's POV
"I know it's because of you, Alpha Samika. And I would appreciate it if you could help me with this situation. Or before the enemy strikes you, I will be the one taking you down" I hear Alpha Judith tell Samika.
And a low growl escapes from me. With that, everyone's eyes are on me now. I walk into the living room with my eyes firm on Judith as she snarls at me. Her wolf is partially in control but even that does not faze me. Even a bit.
"How dare you threaten my mate on my land?" I growl at Judith again. This time, she growls back at me.
"Please get into your room and don't open the door until I ask you to," I hear Samika saying probably to Brent and Olive.
Judith and I are now glaring at each other, ready to pounce if the other one makes the move. Once there is a sound of the door click, even Samika is by my side as she is staring at Judith.
"I understand that you are sad, Judith. Nyle is your mate and I am happy for you. But don't hold me responsible if he doesn't choose you," Samika tells Judith.
"You are in love with your mate. And yet somehow my mate is still charmed by you," Judith says with a sarcastic smile that I badly want to wipe.
It doesn't matter if my mate and I are on bad terms. But if someone is threatening her, then I am going to skin them alive and have their head on a spike. That spike is going to be as a momento at the borders so everyone will know what happens if you even say anything remotely threatening to Samika Adams.
"Well, I didn't like Devon in the beginning either. But look where we are now. I think you are just wasting your time by being here, fighting for no reason when you can go to your mate and fight for the mate bond," Sam says.
"You don't think I tried? I did-"
"That is not enough!" I hear Samika scream.
Even my wolf goes to the back of my mind, afraid of the sudden energy shift. Samika's eyes are now a darker shade of brown. Her real eyes are actually blue and I guess this is entirely her wolf. I didn't know changing the eye color was a Madfur thing.
"That is not enough. If you want something you need to fight. And if fight is what you want, I am sure I can give you one" I see Samika snarl and growl at Judith.
For a moment even Judith seems to be taken aback. She takes a step backwards while Samika growls again, taking a step forwards completely standing before me. As if she is the one protecting me and not me protecting her.
"You asked me to be an ally, Alpha Samika. Let us not -"
"I can kill your entire pack if I wish to. I am Alpha Samika Adams. Alpha of The Blood Rose Pack by the win. Alpha of The Madfur clan by my birthright. Do you think I need you to tell me who to be allies with?" Samika growls a little too loud making Judith flinch and fall back.
Even I am suddenly aware of who Samika is. The one who killed my father and became Alpha by the win. The one who in her birthright, is the Alpha of The Madfurs. The one who is capable of wiping out the entire pack.
I don't know if I feel pride or fear, as I look at her today. She scares me a little but sends a rush of relief now that I know she doesn't want me to protect her.
"It's either you stay here for a few days, be my guest and fight for your love. Or leave and wait for me to fight you at your borders. Your choice and I will stand on my word if you do," Samika says in a much calmer tone.
Now if you think Samika growling was scarier, then let me tell you... Samika's calmer tone is deadly!
Judith doesn't even have a second option but to be on the mercy side of Samika. So she doesn't say anything as she takes a few steps back and falls on her knee.
Judith looks at me once, and then at Samika before bowing. Judith's bare neck is shown in submission and without even waiting a second for the humiliation to kick in, Judith sprints off and I bet she won't show her face for a few days at least.
Once Judith left the pack house, Samika turned around to face me. Her eyes are no longer dark brown. I see the blue eyes that I first fell in love with.
"Ava knows how to do things the convincing way, huh" Samika chuckles as she walks towards the room Brent and Olive are in.
I take it that Ava is her wolf.
And once again, I don't know if it's the pride or fear that's filling me at the moment.
