Chapter 56: Chapter 56

Author's POV

Dylan swore at the sight before him, their attackers were already in their territory and many of his men lay dead on the floor. His eyes caught Ariana, wielding a sword alongside her sister Samantha, for a flitting moment, he remembered one occasion where she had to wield a sword, several years ago and on that fateful day, they had lost their son and until today, he hasn't been able to find him. Furious, he charged into the battle, teeth bared, and claws sharper than any sword, ripping out hearts and squashing them beneath his feet, he is the fastest of all werewolves and no one can match his speed, the only werewolf who has received a boon from the moon goddess and that way, he can change his form at will, he can do things that no other werewolf can hence, other packs were always afraid to fight with him and that's why he was at first surprised when Damien had linked him that they were under attack. He is the only werewolf who is always tried and tested by what he holds dear to his heart and yet, he faces his challenges head-on without a second thought. He would die before he allows his park to go into captivity for another park.

From his heightened sense, he could hear the sound of feet running close to him, he ducked just in time for the sword to go past him. It was the leader of the gang but he couldn't see his face because the leader is wearing a mask, he hit his attacker's hand so that the sword fell off to the ground, he stepped on it just as his attacker bent to pick up the sword, using his other knee, he jabbed his attacker in his gut and he went flying, without giving him a chance to recover, Dylan dived at him, they rolled for a while on the ground as Dylan tries to unmask him.

Many questions were running through Dylan's mind, like, is his attacker a human? If so, how did he find his pack? And if he is a werewolf, then why did he choose to fight with a sword, his hand grabbed the mask and in one swift movement, he ripped it off his attacker's face and his eyes widened in surprise,

"You traitor" he clenched out, he couldn't believe that one of his own will plot such a horrendous act against him, his trusted beta has decided to go against him and for him to be able to raise these soldiers only shows that he has been plotting it for a while, "how dare you?" He gritted, twisting, he soon have his beta on the floor with his hand in his beta neck, bringing out his claws, he raised his hand and struck him at the side of his face, he watched as blood spewed out, seeing that their leader has been caught, the other fighters stopped and one after the other, dropped their sword.

Dylan let him go, grabbing him by his cloth, he pulled him up to a standing position.

"How could you betray your people, you went against your Alpha, why? Did you really think that you can kill me? Or did you plan on just taking over my position while I was away?"

"Why don't you just kill me?" His beta taunted, "you're not fit to be our Alpha, listen up everyone, Dylan is a weak Alpha, do you want someone like him to keep ruling you? He can't even give this pack an heir, look at his Luna, so weak and crazy......"

"Arhhhh" he screamed in pain as Dylan broke one of his bones.

"Don't you dare speak ill about the Luna of blood moon pack" Dylan warned, trying to restrain himself from finishing him off for daring to speak that way about his beloved wife. "I am Dylan Sabastine, the only Alpha of the blood moon pack, all other wolves bow to me and there is no room for two kings here, if I pass on, my son will be the Alpha and for your information, my son is alive, I've found him so you do not need to worry about the future of blood moon pack"

"I don't think so, he is deceiving you all, an Alpha without an heir and a crazy witch who has lost her powers cannot continue to lead this pack"

"I warned you never to talk ill about the Luna of blood moon pack" Dylan gritted and in one swift moment, dipped his paws bringing out his beta's heart. There was a shocked sound as the beta's eyes widened and then, slowly, fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Who else has something to say?" Dylan asked, staring at everyone's face fiercely, they know better than to say anything except they also wanted to lose their life, this was the ruthless, formidable, and cold Alpha they know about, this side of him that no man born of a woman dares to challenge, "I asked if anyone else has something to say to me?"

"We are sorry Alpha, we were misled, please, forgive us", the remaining soldiers cried as they fell on their knees, pleading for Mercy

"You dare go against me, look at the lifeless body of your brothers you have killed on the floor, you dare to be a partaker of a treason attempt and now, you beg for mercy? Throw them into the dungeon until they are fully and truly repentant " he ordered.

"My love " Ariana called out before running into his embrace, "I was so scared" she murmured

"You do not need to be scared my love, I am right here with you", he murmured into her ears. Breaking away from the hug, she gazed into his eyes, "what did you mean when you said that our son is alive?"

Striding inside, she quickly followed beside him, "I think I know where our son is" he murmured cautiously

"Why didn't you bring him home? Where is he? Take me to him, I want to see my son"

"Calm down Ariana, nothing is a fact yet, I am yet to see him to confirm but I have a feeling that he's the one"

"You sound troubled, what's the matter?" She asked, knowing her husband well enough to know that he has something in his mind

"I don't know if he is a werewolf or if he took after you, he was supposed to turn at eighteen but I am not sure he did"

"Is there any possibility of him still changing his form? What if he took after me? What if he is a wizard? What are you going to do?" She asked, understanding the implication of their child not being a werewolf, Dylan would have no successor

"I don't know my love, what I know is that I will be happy for my son, whoever he is, and let's not give hope so soon, the new moon that happens once every twenty-five years will soon be here and our son will be twenty-one soon if he doesn't change on the new moon, that means he is not a wolf but however, I will love him with all my heart".

Ariana forced a smile, of cause, she will be happy to have her son back but she just pray that he takes after his father. He has to.
