Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

The area in front of the pack house had been cleared and the pack had gathered around the edges of it. Alpha Jackson

stood in the middle of the area. He was guarded by Sam and a warrior. My wolf’s hatred for the other Alpha was strong

and I shared his feelings. Alpha Jackson was the reason I had lost my best friend. Whether it was by his own hands or not,

his actions had caused my pack the loss of our Beta. If it wasn’t for Amie, I don’t know how I would have made it through

the night. I was even more grateful for her stepping up as our new Beta. She walked beside me and I could feel her anger. We stopped in front of the defeated Alpha. I scanned the crowd, making sure no pups had sneaked out to see what was

happening. When I knew the only ones around were pack members who should be there, I walked up to Alpha Jackson.

Sam had him on his knees and I looked down on him.

“Bring out the representatives of the Rolling Hills pack,” Amie called out. The pack members to the left of us made way

for a group of warriors who guided an older man and woman to stand a bit away from where we stood. After what the

Alpha had revealed in our integration, we had let the Rolling Hills pack choose two representatives amongst the

survivors.

“I, Alpha of the Blue Mountain pack, have talked to the council and presented the evidence of the Rolling Hills pack’s

attack on us. The council has decided the Alpha of the Rolling Hills pack has forfeited his life for his failure to protect and

lead his pack to victory. As the winners, we may claim the blood debt for our fallen pack members,” I told everyone with

a clear voice. I let the information sink in. “The council left it up to us to decide what to do with the remainder of the

Rolling Hills pack. We will deal with the issue next. But first, we will claim payment of our debt. For Beta Martin, Warrior

Brian and Warrior Megan, we demand the blood of Alpha Jackson.” I smiled down at the Alpha before me. I had no

regrets about what I was about to do. I let my claws extend on my right hand and I used one of them to knick his artery. I

did not want to give him a quick death. I took a step back, standing next to Amie. Everyone looked as Alpha Jackson

slowly bleed out. As he swayed on his knees, the blood loss made it hard for him to remain kneeling. Sam and the warrior

on the other side of the Alpha took a grip on his shoulders to keep him up. A while later I gave them a nod and they let

the Alpha go. He fell forward into the leaves on the ground and his own blood. We all listened to the gurgling sounds as

he took his last, desperate breath. Amie stepped forward and bent down over him to listen. She felt for a pulse.

“He’s gone,” she said. The pack raised their heads and howled. The victory was officially ours.
