Dimitri (The Saville Series Book 5)

It was happening.

After a year of planning down to the last detail, it was happening. Dimitri's eyes met his father's, so identical to his. A sad yet fearful expression crossed the older man's face. With a nod of his head, Dimitri slowly rose from the dining table and gave the silent order to the men keeping his eyes on his father. They have gone over the plan over and over and it still left a bitter taste in their mouth.

"Go, son."

"Father..."

"No. It's you they are looking for. The men and I will hold them off as long as we can. You're their alpha now. They need you."

Dimitri and his wolf were struggling internally, this wasn't right. This was his only blood relative left alive. His family has been plucked off one by one. The source of the threat was unknown but the fear was clearly visible.

Thundering boots sounded at the back of the house, his four guards since he was a pup came bursting through the door. One held a traveler's backpack for him while another held a change of human clothes. His father stayed and kept watch over him as he changed, more guards came in with large hunting knives attached to their sides and deadly bows strapped to their backs. Guns of humans were in their hands, fully trained to use the barbaric weapon to protect the Alpha's only son. The clothes he now wore were uncomfortable. Jeans or whatever they were called felt enclosed on his muscular thighs, the cotton garments was snug on his wide chest the only clothing he liked was the hooded jacket. He chose that specifically upon his trip to the human village. Though they weree in the modern age, Dimitri still clung to traditional wear and practices of his ancestors from Russia.

"They are trying to break through the barrier. Evacuation has begun," a guard stated. Vincent Romano stepped closer to his son, watching his boy's grey eyes filled with fear and uncertainty."Remember what you learned. Keep Dante in check, the new environment will be hard for him to adjust."

Dimitri nodded while assuring his wolf that everything will be okay. Vincent pulled him in for a hug taking in the scent of his pup and listening to his strong heartbeat. Through their pack's mind-link affirmations of reaching safe points and updates were given. Only the present king was informed of their locations, now his son understood why he was told only parts of the plan. The pack members asked of their alphas in which Dimitri answered that he will be with them soon. Their moment was broken when a violent shudder shook the house. Dimitri's brows furrowed in confusion, the intruders broke through his father's strongest barriers.

"Change," his father ordered. Turning to his guards, they stood still, their leader slowly waved his hand over them and whisper a few words of old magic. Their facial features were changing, they can feel the tingling in their hair, the tugging at their lips and eyes even noses. It was practiced before for their trips out of their home pack. Dimitri rushed over to the mirror and took one last look at his features, an exact replica of his father. Grey eyes that held so much wisdom, dark hair as black as a raven's back, natural muscular body with a tall stature. He was his father's son in every way. Dimitri took one last look at his in his original form, his shoulder's slumped in defeat. The tears in his father's eyes cemented the fact that this was truly happening. Turning back to the mirror, he knew it was no turning back.
