CHP.11-Vengence

Zeke stepped forward to the strung up men. His whip in hand and his intentions clear. He would take the first strike. It was his right as the Alpha. He was always first.

He approached the first man. The largest of the three, his head hung forward, to tired to even raise his eyes to meet Zeke's. His upper body was already exposed, littered with deep bruising that contrasted against his white skin.

Zeke wasted no time as he flung the whip back only to quickly snap it forward. The sound of the whip connecting with the mans back and his immediate grunt of pain had me cringing internally. They would suffer tremendously today. And then they would suffer more once they were banished.

A banished wolf always went insane, they craved to belong to a pack. Their wolves would howl in pain from being rejected by the people they had considered family. All banished wolves were killed soon enough, wether by their own hand or other packs they may run across. To banish them was a death sentence, but Zeke would show no mercy to the men who would rape me.

Zeke moved to the second wolf, the smallest of the three. He visibly trembled as Zeke's imposing figure stride toward him, but he made no mode to reject his punishment. He had accepted the will of the Alpha despite his obvious fear. Zeke was quick to strike him, another yelp of pain was heard.

Finally Zeke moved to the last one, the man who had done all the speaking. The man who had touched my leg. He had watched his friends concur their first whips with no emotion. In fact he seemed to stare down Zeke as he moved from his second friend. Their eyes converted yet the man didn't back away.

A mistake.

To not submit was a challenge. The man knew what he was doing, he wanted to challenge Zeke, to fight his way out of the banishment. Zeke would not ignore his challenge, not in front of most of the pack. He would seem weak to not tear down his competitors. If he didn't eliminate this wolf now other wolves may think him not worthy of Alpha. Unfit to rule and they would quickly move forward to challenge him for his title. The crowd bristled in anticipation as they waited for Zeke to make a decision.

Zeke dropped the whip and looked toward Diesel.

"Release him." The mans roped were untied quickly, and he stumbled forward once his weight was returned to his legs. He rose on shaky balance, his movements lethargic as slowly moved toward Zeke.

He would not win this fight and he knew it. But a challenge to an Alpha was a fight to the death. He wished to die instead of being banished. The man pounced toward Zeke, who quickly avoided his swinging hands before kicking out his feet, causing the man to collapse onto the floor. Zeke chuckled, a dark chuckle that held no humour to it.

"You don't deserve an easy death like you hoped." The man began to rise to his feet, only for Zeke to quickly kick him back down with a nudge of his foot.

"You deserve pain and suffering for not just trying to touch my mate. But for the fact you would rape a helpless female." Zeke sneered, placing his foot ontop oh the mans finger and slowly crushing it downward as he spoke. The sound of his fingers snapping was heard as he wailed in pain.

"My wolf wants your blood. He aches to rip out your throat and watch you choke on your own blood." The male ripped his hand out from Zeke's foot, attempting to rise to his feet yet again. Zeke let him stand before quickly moving towards him. Claws extended. The male also extended his claws before swiping at Zeke, who again avoided them with ease.

Zeke moved behind him and sliced the back of his knees, slicing trough tendon and muscle and causing the mans legs to no longer be able to support him self and he feel into his knees.

Zeke stood behind him and grabbed his hair. "Look at the men who had put trust into you. Look at the men you betrayed with your greed when you attacked their Luna. I want their faces of disgust to be the last thing u see when you leave this earth and face the consequences of the moon goddess." With that Zeke sliced the mans throat, blood quickly spilling out of the wound. The man fell forward into the dirt, as the life slowly drained from his body.

My wolf purred in my mind. Our mate had avenged us, he had proven himself a male worthy of keeping his mark on our neck.

Zeke turned to the men who still watched him intently.

"Anyone else ? Or can we get back to the reason we're here?" Zeke's eyes intently scanned the crowd as each men showed their necks in submission. His eyes falling upon our podium and meeting mine. I could not submit and face punishment in front of the pack. Or submit by which I accept him as my Alpha and accept my place in this pack.

With a nudge from my wolf, I showed my neck.

Gold immediately bled into his eyes at my submission. His wolf obviously very pleased.

Zeke moved to pick up the whip, before facing the crowd;

"Whose next?"

"I am." My voice carried through the wind. Each wolf turned to face me with surprise. Luna's normally do not get involved in the violent aspects of the pack life. Only when needed to put the pack females in their place. Punishments were left to the males.

I could feel eyes upon me as I jumped off the podium, my head held high as I strode forward to collect the whip.

These males had disrespected me. And I would take my vengeance as well. Zeke's eyes raked over my figure as I reached his position. I shuddered from the feeling of his gaze.

He offered me the whip which I grasped in my right hand. I had never whipped someone before and wasn't sure if the technique. But as I walked toward the strung up males I recalled the way Zeke had flung it and went to mimic his actions.

I struck the first male with as much force as I could, his skin immediately blistering from the lash he just received. My wolf urged me on in my mind, she was driven by her own anger as well as the anger Zeke's wolf fed her. Similar to how Zeke and I were connected, our wolves shared a similar bond. Connecting with each other and feeling each other's emotions. Our bonds would be further embedded once I marked Zeke.

I quickly struck the second wolf who shared a similar reaction to his friend. I returned to Zeke who grabbed my hips and nuzzled into my neck. Pride oozed from his pores at my behaviour and I blushed at the public show of affection.

Eventually Zeke pried himself from my body and offered the whip to the crowd.

One by one each male that wished to struck the wolf with the whip. The wolves backs were no bleeding and blistering as the whips had broken their skin.

They would have taken at least 300 stripes. With Doctor Scet coming in to check their wound and feed them medication so that they would not pass out or die.

Eventually their torture ended and their rope bonds were untied, their bodies collapsed onto the floor as they desperately tried to heal themselves.

Zeke stared down at their figures.

"You will be off my territory in two hours. If you take anything that belongs to this pack you will be killed." Zeke turned away before striding off, grabbing my hand in his as he walked back into the town.

"Shall we get lunch?" Zeke questioned me as we walked through the crowd. I eagerly nodded, the punishment had taken a few hours and my stomach grumbled in hunger.

"Should we hunt for lunch?" Zeke inquired. That had me more excited, my wolf hadn't run in a few days, she was clawing to get out and run with her mate.

"If you can catch me." With that I took off into the woods. Initiating the game of chase as ran behind toward the tree line and away from the town. Quickly stripping behind a tree and shoving my clothes into the roots.

My body quickly changing as the shift overtook it. My paws digging into the dirt and propelling me forward.

A rustling behind me indicated he had followed me. I sped up with the thought of him being so close. Weaving between trees as I tried to evade him for as long as possible. But eventually I was gently tackled from behind, rolling onto my back as Zeke's large wolf lay on my stomach.

My wolf laid in content as her mate began licking her fur, transferring his scent onto her body. She would happily lay like this all day if she could. I smiled at her, she had never been this happy before, even around our family she had never felt that connected for some reason.

Zeke eventually stood up and shook out his fur, readying himself for the hunt.
