Chapter 66

*****Axel's POV*****

"Who the fuck are you?!" We hear, as we decide that now would be the best time to rush into the room. We earn a gasp from Halliday and a horrified look from Cassio.

I waste no time in shifting into my wolf, briefly catching a glimpse of a smug looking Grey standing in the elevator... so much for waiting back and only pressing the damn button!

"Bastards!" Cassio curses, before they both shift into their wolves and growl at the three of us.

Pathetic.

They both stay close to one another, making it harder for us to single them out for an attack.

I couldn't kill him yet... I had to know that Dani was alive first! I hadn't heard word from Lupin yet, and therefore would need him alive to tell me where she is if he didn't send her home like Dani had thought!

The three of us circle the pair, waiting for one of them to make a stupid move, before a sharp noise is heard - causing the three of us to cringe and retreat.

WHAT THE FUCK!

"Axel what is that?!" I hear Grey through the link, as we all shake our heads furiously in attempts to rid the high pitch frequency from our ears.

"Ahhh perfect! Just on time Draco my boy!" The noise eventually ceases, as we regain focus seeing both Halliday and Cassio standing in human form - now also standing with an unfamiliar man...

So this was Draco...

"Dude he must be a witch!" Nolan states, as we all shift back, looking as pissed off as ever.

"So did you dispose of the girl?" Halliday asks, looking right into my eyes as he does so, earning a threatening growl that rips up from the back of my throat.

I look to the man, who only nods at the statement, before he meets my eyes with his own blank ones and for a split second I spot the lie buried beneath his blank stare. The fucker was lying!

"You didn't actually think I would just invite you here and hand her back to you my brother did you? For being the almighty Alpha King, you're not actually very clever now are you?" Cassio begins to pace himself back and forth confidently, smug that this man Draco seemed to hold the upper hand for him.

"Oh you actually think she's dead?" I respond, causing Cassio to freeze - before he sends me a deadly glare.

"If she isn't already... I can assure you that she will be!" Cassio grits out, as I look to Nolan and Grey before releasing a heart felt laugh.

If I could take a picture of his face I would... watching the redness spilling over his cheeks in a fury was comical.

"-and just what are you fucking laughing at?!" Cassio rages, as I tap into his unchanged personality from when we were younger...

He never liked to be laughed at... even as kids.

"You're just so... weak!" I continue to laugh, causing Nolan and Grey to join in, watching his face turn redder by the minute.

"Weak?! How dare you! I've created an empire of my own! I have a plan that cannot be tainted! I will be the new fucking King! My father will eventually see which son of his should have been worthy of the throne!" Cassio rants, as I hold my breath for a minute to allow him to finish... before laughing yet again.

I wanted to completely break this little fucks temper.

"An empire?! Is that seriously what you're calling this shit show? You only got away with this for so long because I didn't want to waste my time chasing you around! Oh and as for your great plan..." I trail off, pretending to wipe a fake tear from my cheek for added effect.

"Should we tell him boys or should we let him find out on his own?" I turn to my two friends, who stand tall and smug beside me, as they nod.

"Well Cassio... we already knew about your little plan... the children have been rescued, all of your men are dead including the couple downstairs... and well, my mate is, in fact, very safe and alive." I shrug, showing him that I wasn't intimidated or threatened at all by either of them.

A thick silence falls across the room, as he angrily glances back to Halliday and Draco next to him.

"That cannot be true!" He snaps, as I tilt my head at him in amusement.

“Oh but it is!” I grin sickly, earning a scoff from him in return.

How could this weak little man actually be related to me in the first place? I can see why the average wolf would be slightly intimidated... but without this magic witch working for him, he really has no power.

"Draco..." I cut off, earning the mysterious man's attention.

He doesn't respond, only watches and waits for my next move.

"Why are you even working for him? Without you... my brother is quite literally a runt wolf with no power." I state briskly, earning a snigger from Nolan and Grey, as I decide to take a daring step towards the three of them now.

"A runt?!" Cassio spits, the word being probably the worst insult I could have given him.

"You would have fought me one on one if you were truly strong brother... would you not have?" I question mockingly, taking another stroll towards them, as Cassio's face seems to pale ever so slightly before he masks it.

"Not to mention your little friend Halliday here... If he was a real man... he would have challenged my father to a fight years ago to avenge his own fathers death am I right? Quite pathetic actually!" I throw my hands up, smiling mockingly at the pair, as they grow more furious.

This is exactly what I wanted...

"Now Draco, what do they hold over you? Let me fix that." I halt only metres away from the three now, folding my arms comfortably across my chest.

Draco seems to ponder, shifting his eyes between myself and the two petty criminals beside him, before sighing.

"My son." Draco speaks out for the first time, earning an understanding nod from me now.

That makes sense.

"Without us you'll never find that damn son of yours! Remember what I fucking said!" Cassio snaps harshly, seeming to not bother the man with his tantrum, as he huffs again.

"They have taken him from me, and I do not know where he is. My spells won't work either." Draco confirms, ignoring Cassio as he evidently begins to panic.

"For this betrayal alone... I will make it a point of killing your precious fucking son!" Cassio suddenly tosses a heavy object towards Dracos head, who impressively dodges it with ease.

I take this as my opportunity to lunge forward, tackling him to the ground watching as my pathetic brother struggles beneath me.

I didn’t think it would be this easy…

I waste no time, gripping one hand firmly on his chin and placing the other heavily on his head - steadying myself in order to snap the bastards frail fucking neck - before Draco suddenly yells out catching us all off guard-

"Alpha don't! He's cursed…it’s a trap!"
