I realized that the growl came from my Alpha mate as he saw Alpha Ross attack me. Alpha Clause ran towards me in Lycan form and jumped in front of me just as Alpha Ross also assumed his Lycan form.
"Just surrender the East to me and all of the land because I am fit to rule all and be the one absolute Alpha! Our land is not meant to be ruled by Five Lycans!" Alpha Ross growled while in his Lycan form, his voice sounding hoarse like he has been smoking cigarettes or marijuana for a long time.
"That would never happen and you know it! You're committing the forbidden sin and deserve to die for all those that you have killed to suit your appetite!" Alpha Clause growled back at him as his sharp Lycan teeth with two protruding fangs clenched in anger.
Before Alpha Ross could say anything more, Alpha Clause swiped his half turned arm that had sharp claws pointing from his fingertips in place of nails against his cheek. It hit Alpha Ross and made him growl out in pain. He threw both of his arms on my mate as he opened his sharp teeth to bite him. Alpha Clause met him with equal strength and grabbed his arm before he could to throw a kick at his abdomen.
My attention was pulled away by the weight that was suddenly crushing me. I looked at the weight to see a dark brown wolf on top of me as it barred its teeth at me and glared at me with it's yellow, beady eyes. Its front paws were over my shoulders as its hind paws and rest of it's body laid on my chest, abdomen and legs, crushing me with its large weight. He growled as he moved his large wolf head towards my neck, but I acted fast and grabbed its thick, furry neck with both of my hands and squeezed.
The wolf wheezed and struggled for me to let go as it clawed at my hands, but I only pressed harder until I felt it weaken and then threw it aside. It fell on its side and I got up, coughing and trying to regain the strength in my body. I felt a touch on my shoulder and turned around swiftly, being on my guard to see that it was just Alpha Clause. He looked worried as he helped me stand up, "Are you okay, Fay?"
I nodded as I drew in a deep breath and let it out, "Yeah, just a little out of breath, but I'm fine now."
"That's a relief." He replied to me as his features relaxed and I looked around the dining room to see that the rogues have ran away except for two with one being the ash one that I bit its neck and the other being a white and black wolf. They were being subdued by Carter and Bailey so that they wouldn't run away.
The rest of the pack members gathered around the as they stared at the two wolves. Alpha Clause took my hand in his and gently tugged me towards the wolves. He looked at them with a stern stare as he commanded in his Alpha voice, "Shift!"
Even though they were not part of his pack, he was a Lycan and one of the Five, so his command was powerful and the two shifted back into human form instantly. The ash wolf's neck was already healed up and he looked to be in his twenties with dark hair and a slim stature dressed in blue knee baggy jeans. The other one was a man in his thirties that was buff with a shaved head, dressed in a black cargo shorts.
The two had their heads bowed as they frowned, surrounded by us. Alpha Clause looked between the two as he asked them in a strict voice, but not his Alpha voice, "Where is Alpha Ross hiding?"
The two kept quiet and bowed their heads even lower, showing that they wouldn't talk. That seemed to make him pissed off and he let out a low growl as he asked again in his Alpha voice, "I asked you where Alpha Ross is hiding?!"
"I- Alpha Clause, please have mercy on us! If we tell you, Alpha Ross will kill us!" The one with the shaved head exclaimed as fear showed on his face.
The brown haired one also looked scared, but kept his mouth shut. Alpha Clause's jaw clenched as he nodded in realization, "Since you won't talk when I'm asking nicely I will force the information out of you!"
Both of their eyes widened and the brown haired one quickly protested, "Please don't torture us! We will tell you whatever you need Alpha Clause as long as you keep us safe here away from Alpha Ross!"
The one with the shaved head looked shocked as he looked at him, but didn't protest. Alpha Clause looked pleased at his words and let out a deep breath as he said, "You have made the right choice because my pack and I will protect you no matter what. Alpha Ross wouldn't be able to get his hands on you to get revenge for telling us his location."
"Thank you, Alpha!" The brown haired one yelled, looking relieved as he bowed his head.
"Thank you, Alpha Clause!" The other one exclaimed too as he also bowed his head, looking relieved.
"You are welcome, now, tell us where he is hiding."
"He is at a cottage in the forest that's on the outskirts of your town, I can show you where he is!" The one with shaved head said with a small smile as he started standing up.
"Alright, we will go with you to look for him right away." My Alpha mate replied and looked at Bailey as he said, "You are coming with us too."
"Yes, Alpha!" She yelled, looking determined and serious which I rarely see her be. I felt really proud of her for becoming Beta of the East pack and trying her best for the pack.
