The last male Alpha

5: Chained by pack rules

 2 weeks later

 *Dacian*

  “Watch where you are going”. Some young nobody guy trips me, and his two friends laugh stupidly.

 “f**k off Silas”.I growl as I spring to my feet, getting in his face.

 My wolf, Achak, is angry, spurring me on. ‘Come on Dacian, those guys are nothing, we can take them, nothing but pups that need to be taught a lesson. They need to know when to show respect’.

 “Do you want something.. slave”. Silas is the type who likes to pretend he is something, especially facing those who physically or due to pack rules can’t retaliate.

 “No, I will look where I walk”. I push down my wolf, I might be able to physically tie those guys into a pretzel, but it’s not worth the trouble.

 They all laugh and I just leave, while Achak is scolding me: ‘Stop being a p***y Dacian, come on show them the real you.. we can’t allow this’.

 I tell him that Maybe he can’t, but I can, because doing anything will see me punished, and I am much more happy with not being punished today.

 But truth is I hate this, it is mostly the Young males.. those who have reached adulthood but are some years younger than me and who have no power in the pack themself. I guess that's why they feel like kicking at the only one with a lower stand than them.

 What I hate even more is not being able to act, I know I am stronger than them, faster than them.. but being a no one, a servant.. a slave, with no standing in the pack it doesn’t matter. And hurting even low ranking idiots like that will see me punished, no matter the reason.

 So I just hurry off, biting down my reaction and ignoring my wolf and his desire to kick their scrawny butts.

 *Kaisa*

 I hang up my phone and scramble out of bed. Solstraale is pacing in my mind, muttering. ‘This is bad, this is very bad.. how can this have happened’.

 “Stop the pacing”. I mumble, pulling on my clothes. “You are giving me a headache.. and I don’t know”.

 I hurry out the door and down to Tisha’s room, but no one answers when I knock, so I slowly push the door open and peak in. The bed is empty. Luckily I have a feeling about where she is.

 I make my way down the hallway, to the other end of our pack house, and open the door to a large room. “Tisha, I thought I would find you here”.

 “Shh”. She says, then her eyes blink open. “Don’t wake them”.

 “I knew I would find you here, when you weren't in your own bed”. I say in a low voice.

 She un-tangles herself from several limbs and gets up. “I was reading to them last night, one of the little ones was scared and asked me to stay till she was asleep.. I ended up sleeping first”.

 I look at the huge bed. There are three in the room, this is where the young kids sleep, snuggled together like puppies, they move here when they no longer need their parents at night and stay here till they turn fourteen, then they move into rooms three or four, having their own beds.

 “Come outside, I have bad news”. It’s not the first time I have found Tisha in here, sleeping in a heap of kids, they adore her and she is great with them.

 She gently pulls a blanket over a little girl, a warm smile spreading on her face, then she follows me out in the hallway and closes the door. “Bad news ?”

 “I .. I just had a call about the crimson moon pack”. I feel a lump in my throat thinking of it.

 “What is it ? More trouble ?” She is instantly fully awake and focused. “We could send them some help if needed”.

 I shake my head. “Won’t help.. they are gone”.

 “Gone ?” She looks confused. “As in.. the left ?”

 “No..”. I breathe in slowly. “As in death, the whole pack, slaughtered.. at first they thought it was humans, but.. they were killed by wolves”.

 She clamps a hand over her mouth. “Oh god.. no”. A tear runs down her cheek. “How can that even happen ?”

 “No one knows, but all the packs are on high alert”. I gently touch her arm. “But from what we learned at the last meeting.. and from what we know now.. it seems like something makes wolves go berserk and attack our own”.

 “What can we do ?” She is shaking her head slowly, like she is refusing to believe it has happened.

 I rub both hands hard over my face before answering. “Not much, keep an eye out, warn the pack, if anyone sees anything weird, if someone is acting odd, they should report it right away”.

 “We’ll increase security.. put guards to patrol our borders”. Tisha says and I nod in agreement. That is the best we can do, not knowing anything else.

 *Dacian*

 It’s early evening and normally I would be done with today's work now, but something has happened up north in one of the other packs and I have been told to check all gates and all security cameras, which means it must be bad, but I have no idea what it is, as the Alpha refuses to share that information with me.

 Walking by a shed I hear a choked sound and then a girl's voice. “No please no”.

 Dammit ! I can’t just walk past that and Achak fully agrees, we can’t leave a woman in need.

 “Hey”. I say walking in. “What is going on here ?”

 Inside the shed is Kye, the beta’s son and another guy his age. They have a Young girl, most likely some servant. I think I have seen her around the kitchen, hoisted up on a table.. and it’s clear what is about to happen.

 “Piss of servant boy”. Kye says. “We are just having some fun here.. and you are not invited”.

 “She doesn’t look like she is having any fun”. I shake my head. “Let her go guys”.

 The other guy glares at me. “I think you were told to piss of”.

 All I see is the girls pleading eyes and I shake my head, turning my back. ‘Achak are you ready ?’ He growls approvingly to answer.

 “Such a loser”. I hear Kye grin.

 I let out my wolf, not fully, just as much as I need. I know I grow taller and wider and my eyes have changed to amber. My face morphs slightly, getting more feral. My voice a deep growl as I jump forward, pulling them off her. “I said ‘let her go’”.

 “What the..”. The guy, who’s name I don’t know, wails as I throw them both across the floor. 

 They scamber to their feet and Kye hisses at me. “Oh you will pay for this servant boy”.

 I roar at him and they flee, then I turn to the girl. “Are you okay ?”

 She pulls back in the corner, looking scared. “Don’t hurt me”.
