Part two- Chapter 30 continuation

“Very smart Klaus, very smart” I mumbled under my breath. I guess he had just run left and right to confuse me. Taking in his scent, I went to my left rather and like I expected he had run left just to confuse me because he had circled round a tree and then had gone to right.

Growling, I once again followed him.

Behind me, I could hear Everett, Jan and others following me. Nevertheless, I didn’t stop for them. I continued racing through the trees in inhumane speed, jumping over the bushes, gliding smoothly between the trees.

At one place, I fell on the ground and growled loudly when I saw a thin yet strong branch of a tree hidden under the leaves. How could I have failed to see that?

Standing up, I picked it and harshly threw the branch apart so that others don’t have the same problem. Cursing Klaus, I ran again. The mutt was smart! I had to give him that. But there is no way he can escape from me this time.

Once again, I followed after his scent. There was another obstacle that he had kept. A branch hidden just like the previous one before, but this time I didn’t tumble over it because I had seen blood drops on the leaves.

Growling, I jumped over the branch and continued running.

It took me another minute or so, but I finally did catch up with Klaus. I saw him running with as much speed as he could muster. He turned his head and growled when he spotted me, which cause my wolf to snap her jaws. She wasn’t furious that I let him go because she enjoyed doing this. Killing him, the way he deserves.

He looked ahead and I could already see other pack wolves but looking at the flags marked around I realized that we were entering the DayDusk Pack territory.

The guards who were there tried to stop Klaus, but once they spotted me, they moved away. These pack wolves knew who I am because they bowed their head in respect, when I passed.

Klaus, while running picked up a large stone and threw it without turning backwards, but his aim was bad, because it didn’t hit me. Next time, he picked a broken bough from the ground and threw it. This time, I had to move a little away, to save myself. My wolf was furious and just wanted us to finish this.

She wanted to come at the forefront and I let her, but there was one difference this time. Unlike the last time, I was still in control. I mentally thanked the moon goddess because I was really happy that I didn’t lose control.

I was getting closer and closer to Klaus and when he noticed that he growled and continued. But I caught up with him. Leaping high in the air, I thumped him on his shoulders and he stumbled on his steps. He stood straight and was about to run, but moving swiftly, I blocked his path and smirked at him.

“Game over” I said victoriously and Klaus growled and raised his hand to punch me. I caught that hand as well as the other, but he reacted quickly by kicking me in the thighs and I jumped back by the force of it.

“Not until I say it is over you bitch” he snarled and punched me in the stomach. While I caught my stomach and groaned in pain, Klaus held me by the back of neck and moved forward. Before he could push me towards a tree, I slammed my elbow to his stomach and clawed his chin. His bent his head backwards and I used that moment to scrape his legs, by using the claws from my toes.

It was a good thing, I was wearing flats.

Klaus groaned and stopped, while I turned and kneed his stomach and then catching him by the neck, I slammed his head to the ground. I slammed his head thrice the same way, before clawing his face.

When I looked around to search for a hard surface like a rock, I noticed that I had an audience which consisted of DayDusk pack wolves along with Rett and others.

I rested my knees on his chest and made sure he would bear my full weight. Klaus replied by digging his own claws on my waist. Wincing in pain, I rolled over and while I got on my feet, Klaus too did. We rushed towards each other and while I painfully clawed his stomach, he rammed his shoulders against mine. Both of us fell on our backs, but I stood up quickly and slightly massaged my shoulders.

When I saw Klaus getting up, I rushed towards him and when I noticed him raising his hand, I caught that very hand and twisted it. Throwing his head back he let out a painful scream, but I didn’t let his hand go. Gritting my teeth, I knocked my knees on his groin and he fell on his own knees. At that moment, I held his hand and bent it in the opposite direction. Both of us screamed loudly, while I ripped his right arm from its socket and threw it far away. Klaus screamed in pain and I screamed in anger. The wolves surrounding us gasped and took a step back, but I didn’t react to it. Instead, I stared at Klaus who fell on his side and continued screaming in pain.

“That’s how I felt, like I lost a limb, when you killed our child” Rett said through gritted teeth, standing beside me, watching Klaus who was withering in pain.

I slowly walked towards Klaus and then kicked him in the stomach. I placed my foot, especially the claws of my toes over his throat. Looking up, my eyes clashed with Rett’s green ones that turned a shade darker.

“Finish him” Rett told me and I nodded.

With one swift move, I slashed his throat with my claws. When I was sure Klaus was dead, I stepped back. My wolf growled in satisfaction and I closed my eyes and twisted my neck sideward a few times.

After taking a deep breath, I opened my eyes and this time I looked at the pack wolves of DayDusk. They were all staring at me with wide eyes and when I looked at them, they all lowered their head. That made my wolf growl.

The pack wolves started hustling closer to each other and I frowned.

“Ms. Templar Green” an unfamiliar voice said and I looked to my right to see a wolf, who looked to be in his early fifties approaching me. “I am Marco Thompson, Alpha of the DayDusk Pack” he said extending his hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you” he added.

Smiling, I shook his hand and nodded once. “I am sorry you had to see this” I told, the ‘this’ here referring to Klaus.

“He deserved to die. We are aware that the mutt baited you in each pack. He had tormented wolves from my pack too and I am not sorry he is dead” Marco said and I blinked.

“Then why are your pack wolves scared of me?” I questioned and everyone gasped.

“They are not scared of you. They are scared of disrespecting you” a young guy with blonde hair and blue eyes, who looked freshly out of his teens, said stepping ahead.

“And you are?”

“Kevin Thompson” he said grinning.

“Ah! The Alpha heir” I said extending my hand to him. His grin faded but he quickly faked a smile and took my hand in his. Behind me, I heard hushed voices and I furrowed my brows. But then I quickly covered it because I didn’t know anything about this pack’s history or it’s members and I was ashamed of it. I thought Marco had only one daughter, Genessa. I didn’t know he had a son too. But I was also confused as to why Marco is still the Alpha when his son is clearly old enough to be one.

“But you are not yet the Alpha” I said while pulling back my hand and I noted the way Kevin as well as Marco stiffened.

‘Marco is a sexist. He wasn’t ready to give his title to Genessa, the first-born and so Kevin isn’t ready to take the title’ Jan filled in and I frowned and turned my head to glare at Marco who was staring at the ground. I felt bad for Genessa, my best-friend’s mate. Myron would have definitely shared this matter with me, had I been in a proper state of mind.

‘That’s the story here. That’s why Kevin isn’t the Alpha yet?’ I asked Jan who replied with a yes. Growling, I turned to look at Kevin. I wanted to smack his head wondering why he was letting his father rule when he knows his father isn’t good enough anymore.

But I didn’t. I will solve this issue in the meeting.

“I guess you are still undergoing your training” I said instead and Kevin nodded without looking at me.

“He is going to be the Alpha soon” Marco announced and I nodded staring at his pale blue eyes, which were filled with guilt. He regrets it. He regrets his decision of not letting Genessa take over the title.

At that time, he wasn’t ready to give Genessa the title and now he couldn’t wait until he gave up the title. He was tired of being an Alpha. That’s his punishment, being an Alpha even when he doesn’t want to be one. I wouldn’t punish him, but I would definitely make sure Kevin takes over as the Alpha of DayDusk Pack.

‘You are not going to do anything?’ Jan queried.

‘No…. Not now’ I said with a wink and she looked away to hide her grin.

Taking a deep breath, I looked at the DayDusk pack wolves and addressed them, “I am sorry you had to witness this. To some of you, what I did might seem cruel. I am not going to explain to you why I did this. It’s upon you to decided it, but all I can say to justify myself is that every
