Chapter 96
There was a large crowd when we reached the courtyard . People were waiting for Alexander ,even George was there with his group of supporters. He did not even seem worried in fact he looked confident which was very unsettling. Rick was standing opposite us ,he nodded his head at Mark and Mark led us to Rick.We were instructed to stand on the balcony a bit further away from where the fight was going to take place. Rick said Alexander would literally rip his heart out if I got hurt or something. I shook my head because he probably meant it. There was so much excitement going on , you could tell that werewolves really enjoyed violence and they praised it. It was so inhumane , we really saw the world differently.
"Its crazy how everyone is so excited that one of their own will be dying any minute from now" Amara said shaking her head. I guess I wasn't the only one thinking about how crazy this was.
Marcia bit her lip "They are savages, literally"
"werewolves, not savages. This is just how it has to be sometimes and besides our King did not start this." Rick responded not liking the way Marcia shamed his people.
I looked at him "but it didn't have to be this way, George is obviously a clown and he is obviously not going to win this. This fight is unnecessary, why not just ignore this guy."
"because going against the King is treason. The end for anyone who commits treason is death" Rick replied with a straight voice. This was all normal to them.
Amara scoffed "That is just so backward"
Rick didn't say anything this time as he watched everyone in the crowd making way for their King and beta. I knew Alexander had spotted me already without even having to look at me. He could smell my scent from miles away, I still found that creepy. He had a straight face as he faced George. The crowd dispersed giving them more room, the beta moved into the crowd but kept his eyes on his Alpha. I admired his loyalty.
"Any last words... Cousin" Alexander said watching George closely. It looked like he was studying him.
George smiled, it was this disturbing sinister smile that had my skin crawling "goodbye Alex" he said and suddenly large silver chains flew towards Alexander capturing his arms and his legs. A small group of people that were part of the crowd held the chains tightly.
Alexander hissed in pain and growled at George, he was extremely annoyed. I wanted to go down there but Rick held my arm tightly "he is cheating, is that even allowed!" I said loudly watching the scene
"He just mind linked everyone not to interfere. You are to remain here" Rick said clenching his jaw. I spotted the beta hoping he would do something but he also had his jaw clenched tight. He looked pissed off and it seemed like he was holding himself back.
They wanted to interfere but it's obvious Alexander was being stubborn. "coward, you are no cousin of mine. My family does not have any cowards" Alexander scoffed, he looked disgusted by the sight of George.
George growled as he walked towards Alexander "the only coward here and fake King is you!" he shouted punching Alexander in the face twice. They ripped his t-shirt off then punched his stomache a couple of times. He had a silver chain around his gloved hands which made the punches more painful,they burned his skin.
Alexander groaned as the chains around his arms kept being pulled I swear I thought I saw his flesh burning and a little smoke. I winced, this was too painful to watch. Why wasn't anyone doing anything. Amara held my arms softly while Marcia rubbed my shoulder "he is going to be okay"
Blood dripped down Alexander's mouth and George smiled "Any last words cousin!" when Alexander did not respond George faced everyone "This is who you call your King! This weak pathetic man, who chooses to protect humans over his own people! He can't even defend himself what makes you think he can protect all of you!" he said and some people growled at him clearly not amused.
Vladimir chuckled as he appeared behind us. I narrowed my eyes at him, there was nothing funny about this situation. He stood next to me biting his apple "Oh thank goodness,I almost missed the fun part"
"You find this fun?" I asked him a little angry. My anger was starting to boil inside me.
"oh calm down little human, you cannot kill a monster especially that easily. Just watch this is going to be fun" he said taking another bite of his apple "someone is going to learn, the hard way"
My eyes snapped back at Alexander who had gone too silent. Suddenly he stretched his back and black veins appeared going up to his neck. His eyes narrowed at George who looked absolutely horrified. Alexander's eyes were completely black they looked like demon eyes. Every werewolf I have seen either had yellow eyes or orange eyes. Somehow Alexander had these demon looking eyes it still freaked me out.
I held my breath as he broke the chains so easily. The men holding the chains moved back a little bit. Everyone else who was watching left the ground as the beta led them away. I understood why, noone wanted to be a victim of circumstances in this situation. Only George and seven other guys were left. They should have run, even I knew they were all going to die. I could feel it in my bones, blood was going to be shed on that ground.
Alexander smirked as his obsidian black eyes watched George specifically. "well this is unfortunate, I was going to kill you faster at first but now... you are going to wish you had never set your two feet on my territory"
"kill him!" George ordered his men and they attacked Alexander.
I didn't even see how it happened but in the blink of an eye four headless bodies were on the ground and two bodies with large holes in their chest were on the far side of the courtyard. Their hearts were missing. There was blood everywhere it was gruesome. Alexander's hands had razor sharp bloody nails and he held one man off the ground. The man shivered in fear "please... my King. They made me do it!" he begged
Alexander sighed as he threw the man and his body went flying it hit the walls so hard he came back tumbling on the ground unconscious. For some reason Alexander didn't kill the guy, I scrunched up my eyebrows.
"we are going to need some information from that fool later" Vladimir said as he kept his eyes on the scene.
George held on to a knife as he watched Alexander, he looked nervous and afraid. Alexander waited for George to attack and he did. He stabbed Alexander in the stomach but Alex was not moved at all. He grabbed Georges hand and held it so tight we could hear his bones breaking. George screamed so loud my heart kind of felt bad. I didn't like seeing people suffer especially this way but at the end of the day he did this to himself.
George was on his knees on the floor in pain, Alexander's other hand went for his chest. His razor sharp nails dug into George's chest slowly and he watched as the life left his eyes painfully slow. Alexander pulled out Georges heart and the man's body fell to the ground. What happened next almost made me faint, my heart dropped as Alexander feasted on George's heart. He took a few bites like a vampire before dropping the remains to the ground next to George's dead body.
"are you sure he is not a vampire" Marcia cringed. I couldn't say a word I was speechless maybe he was
Amara scrunched up her eyebrows "I bet my money on it, he is a hybrid after all"
"he is not a vampire" Vladimir said throwing the remains of his apple to the ground before walking away "that was beautiful" he muttered
