The main problem was that your father wanted to make peace with the Lycans which we all didn’t like.”
“We all?” River asked, her voice thick with emotions. “What do you mean by that?”
“There are five Alphas who are together in this including my brother, Maxim.”
“Goddess!” Panic surged through her in strong waves. Alpha Maxim was one of the men who was fighting against Alpha Hunter?
Ella chuckled. She adjusted herself in River’s strong grip. She had hoped that after listening to this much only River’s grip would loosen, but it didn’t. “Yes, my brother and I are in that group who despise the Lycans. We are going to destroy them. We have been fighting for the past thirty years and we will continue with it.”
“Did Alpha Maxim ***my father?”
Ella laughed. “You are very intelligent, River. You connect the dots easily. But it isn’t a surprise. You have Alpha blood in you. And that gives you a lot of strength and beauty.” She paused for a moment to hear some movement. The other demons were near. She continued to keep River busy. “Yes, Maxim
***Alpha Lowell and his family. Unfortunately you were not in the pack that time and had gone to visit some aunt of yours. You were too young to comprehend and Maxim had already ascended to the position of the Alpha. That’s why he couldn’t order your direct ***. Instead he gave you to Kirk and Hazel and asked them to look after you in the worst possible way so that your wolf never develops.”
Layla growled on the inside. ‘They underfed us for this reason, River. They were scared that we would rebel.
River was so numb that she couldn’t answer Layla. There was so much conspiracy to keep her down, she couldn’t believe
“And when the right time came, they got rid of you,” Ella ended her story. “Isn’t that interesting?”
River closed her eyes. She was tortured and tormented by Kirk and Hazel to the level that she had become depressed. “What about my mother?” she asked in a hoarse voice.
“Your mother was the daughter of Alpha Odin of the Black Howlers pack. That pack has very few members and lives in the human world. But she is also dead.”
River’s eyes welled with tears. In all these years, Kirk had informed her that her mother was alive and was his former lover. She ***Kirk so much now that it was beyond comprehension. “Kirk said that she was alive…”
Ella laughed. “Kirk only gave you lies. He *** you because you were a liability that Maxim had forced on him.” Suddenly, a sharp movement was heard from the trees.
Ella let out a humorless laugh “That’s your doom, River More demons are coming I am going to take you as my captive* “Before that I am going to **you, Ella” River spat
“If you will ***me, then these demons are going to ***you. And if you will let me live, you will stay alive till I negotiate with Alpha Hunter”
“And after that?”
“After that I will give you back to him, Ella pointed out.
“Why are you all into this mindless war with the Lycans? Why can’t you just live in peace?” River asked
“Because the ancestors of the Lycans have ***our ancestors for the wealth they are sitting on! We will keep fighting till we get that treasure back. The days of Lycans are numbered.”
“Do you think I believe every word that comes out of your ****?” River said, her breath ragged From what I see, the Lycans are unified and very hardworking. They have great business with the human world while the werewolves- they think they are superior to the humans and it is below their dignity to have business with them?”
“Oh shut up!” Ella squawked. “You don’t know anything, ****. You are soon going to go where your father is?
River was undergoing so much emotional turmoil. Revenge was foremost in her mind. She wanted to take revenge from Alpha Maxim for ***her family and then plunging her into the worst life possible.
“You don’t have a choice, River, Ella scoffed. “Hurry up and make a decision. The demons are nearing!”
“Even if I have a thousand choices, Ella, I am going to ***you first. Yes, that would be my choice!”
Ella seethed. She hissed, “You stupid girl! You are just like your father. Even he was so forthright that it was ***. Why can’t you Alphas just live like the others?”
“It is this difference that makes us the Alphas by blood!” River said. She tightened her grip on Ella’s neck.
“Ahhh!” Ella gurgled. She brought both arms on River’s arm to remove her but she was surprised to find that River was just too strong to be moved. Maxim had said that they had weakened River’s wolf to the extent that she couldn’t fight and was a scraggy little gray wolf, but she had emerged stronger after being in the Veil for a few months. “Leave mel” she wheezed, getting asphyxiated.
The demon in front of them closed the gap between them slowly, cautiously. He growled, “Leave her, else I will slay you with my claws and jaws in a second.”
But River was least interested in the demon’s threats. She continued to suffocate Ella. The movement around them increased. She knew that the demons were just too close now.
‘Let me out, River!’ Layla demanded. ‘I am going to do away with all of them!”
“I will. Soon!”
In one last try, Ella elbowed River in her stomach while struggling for life. She threw her legs wildly at her in some way, but in doing so, she was only getting more suffocated. She looked at the demon and wheezed, “Attack her!”
The demon looked at River and the next moment he lunged at her. However, the moment he lunged at her, a strong force brought him down, River didn’t understand what it was. With a guttural roar, she snapped the neck of Ella. Her body stilled and then dropped to the ground over her belly, her head turned in a weird angle..
River had never ****anyone before. She slumped beside her body on her knees, shaking in pure fury and shock. Ella’s eyes were staring in the blank space. River wanted to feel guilty but strangely she didn’t. She felt… hatred. All she wanted was to send Ella’s body to Alpha Maxim as a message that she was coming for him. That she was going to claim her pack very soon.
