Chapter 189
Hardin’S POV
Battle of the Elementals.
A battle between Alpha.
Between werewolves with special powers called Elementals.
A battle between Packs, for power, superiority, prosperity and fame.
A battle where people fight as allies but at the back of their minds, have plans to backstab each other in the end.
I really do not know why the Moon goddess put such a battle in the first place, but I think it’s a good thing. Not because of the power involved in it, but because you get to see who are genuinely on your side, and who those who aren’t!
Just because of this battle, a father killed his daughter a framed the other for a crime she did not commit.
He chose power over his family.
I have people who have betrayed me in this war as well.
I’m talking about Yves and the Soldier who stole the fake staff from my office.
I have people who have stood by my side from the very beginning and up till now that it’s about to end.
I have found a lost brother who is ready to put his life on the line just so I can win this battle.
I have seen my father again, after so many years of him passing away.
It has been a blast and if you’d ask me, I’d say I love the experience.
Getting betrayed, having my mate abducted, making new friends and many others. All of it has been mind blowing.
Most of them were net e wrecking to actually go through, but they have left memories that will be a smile to my face whenever I remember them.
At first I hated the fact that this battle had to occur during my reign, but right now, I am more that excited that it actually happened during my reign. I swear I love the experience.
“Hardin” I hear a familiar voice call and I turn around and see Kol standing before me, all dressed up for battle.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Hello brother” I greet with a smile as he walks towards me. “You look so ready for this battle”
“Yeah, I am. I can’t wait to get over and done it”
“Me too”
There is a brief moment of silence.
“You stay safe out there, is that understood?” He cautions and I nod my head. The look in his eyes makes a painful lump forms in my throat that hinders me from swallowing.
I can actually feel tears stinging in my eyes and I blink them hard to prevent the tears from flowing down.
Kol and I have known each other for barely a month, but the bond we have created during this short period is so strong that I can’t help it.
Without warning, I crash into his arms and let the tears flow freely.
I love my brother.
“I will be safe, I promise” I assure him and he nods.
“Good. I just want to let you know that we are going to win this battle, you are going to be the next Paramount Alpha and this pack is going to be just as great as it has ever been, I promise you that”
“Thank you so much brother. I’m glad I met you, I would never have gotten to this level. Thank you very much”
“You don’t need to thank…” Before he can complete his statement, the is a sudden loud rumble and the ground starts vibrating. Kol and I stagger as we try to regain our stability. The ground starts dividing and immediately, I wave my hands with such force and it instantly stops.
“Those fools are here!” Kol announces and I nod my head.
The next thing that follows is a loud rumble of thunder and lightening. Coarse rain drops start falling down and the others run to me, including Reign and Tasha.
“They are here” Alpha Damien announces.
“Hardin, news from the guards, the entire east end of the pack is has been flooded by the water Elemental and they are almost drawing, something needs to be done!”
“I’ll take care of it” Reign announces and I look at he in awe.
“Reign that’s not safe…”
“Please Hardin, this is not the time for you get all protective, I have to safe those guards while you stay here and battle with those riffraffs. Let’s go Tasha.” She orders and leads the way towards the woods.
“I’m going after them”
“Thank you Miguel”
The moment Miguel leaves, the, I see the two Alphas, Alpha Ralph and Alpha Lance approach us and I smile. The bewildered look on his face is priceless. He must be more than shocked to see Alpha Damien standing by me.
“Alpha Damian?”
I said it!
“Yes, Alpha Lance”
“You despicable traitor ! You promised to fight by my side!”
“You must be mistaken Alpha Lance, it was not a promise, I only gave you my word and I have every right to take it back when ever I want!”
“You are such a shameless Alpha!”
“And if you think that your insults are getting to me, you are wasting your precious time. Alpha Lance, do you honestly think I would fight for a man like you? A man who doesn’t respect shewolves, an Alpha who has no value for his subjects, a tyrant? Do you honestly think I would chose to defend a man like you, over Alpha Hardin?” Alpha Damien asks fuming in anger.
“I’m going to kill you, I swear to God, Damien I will kill you!” He swears in frustration as he boils in anger.
The look of defeat in his eyes is so evident that it excites me.
“Hardin, what are we waiting for? Let’s finish off these…” Kol’s words are interrupted by a very terrifying fire bolt that causes a nightly flame to encircle Alpha Lance, Alpha Ralph and the two elementals they came with.
I did not do that and Reign is far away to have been able to do that.
Who then could have generated a fire bolt out of nowhere?
“Well, well, well” Someone speaks from behind and I’m beyond shocked when I turn and see the Fire Elemental, Reed, walking towards us with a sinister smile plastered on his face.
“Look who we have here”
“Reed!” Alpha Lance calls and Reed’s smile widens.
“Hello Alpha”
“Reed, what are you doing?” Alpha Lance asks in shock and immediately, Kevin the Fire Elemental quenches the fire that was burning around them.
“I am here to fight with the Luna who saved my life”
“You mean your enemies?”
“No, they are not my enemies, you are my enemies!”
“Reed I am your Alpha and it is your obligation your serve me!”
Alpha Lance reprimands and Reed just rolls his eyes as he suddenly sends a fire bolt at him but the Kevin is quick to stop it by quenching with water.
“Serve you? When you planned on having me killed after this battle? You ungrateful jerk!”
“How dare you!” Alpha Lance asks furiously as he takes a step forward.
“I dare you to come near me Alpha Hardin, I swear I’m going burn you to ashes without a second thought!” Reed warns and I look at him, totally impressed.
I swear these Alphas are so dead!
“You know what? I think that’s enough chit-chat. ATTACK!!” Alpha Damien orders and we all charge towards them.
The rest of the soldiers transform into wolves as they approach and attack each other while we stay in our Human forms.
I need to stay in my human form to be able to use my Elemental powers.
Alpha Damien shapeshifts as well and doesn’t hesitate to rip heads off. Kol and Reed take care of the other two Elementals, while I take on the two Alphas haven’t shapeshifted as well.
“I can see neither itf you wants to go paw to paw, let’s go fist to fist then” I say with a smile and as they both charge towards me, I wave my hands outwards in the air and they both come flying. Still in the air I use my eyes to control them both and make sure to strike them hard against a tree.
“I guess you guys forgot I’ve got some very special juicy powers” I mock and immediately, they both shapeshift into their wolf forms and lunge at me.
I stomp my feet to the ground the earth trembles, causing them both to lose their balance but they manage to regain the stability and continue with the attack.
I swiftly create two fire bolts and throw at them and in attempt to dodge, Aloha Lance hits his head against a tree and falls down, while Alpha Ralph misses a step and doubles over.
I hear a loud shout and that when I see Kevin shooting ice daggers at my soldiers.
Out of anger, I rush towards him and give him a hard punch in the back and as he falls to the ground, I swiftly spin him around by the arm and give him another deadly punch under his chin and that causing blood to fly out if his mouth. As he falls helplessly on the ground, I use a great deal of strength to call out my entire earth elemental power and I stomp both my fist to the ground once more, opens up and Kevin’s body sinks beneath.
Suddenly, I get very weak and helpless and I fall to the grown.
The next thing I see is Alpha Lance’s wolf form chasing after him but I have no strength to even lift my hand up to use any of his powers against him.
I just close my eyes as I lie on the ground and wait for my fate to befall me.
KOL’S POV
As I turn to check on how my brother is holding up, I see the most terrifying action about to unfold. Hardin is lying helplessly on the ground and Alpha Lance’s big Alpha Wolf is charging towards him.
With a great deal of strength, I ball my fists and close my eyes as I call my Elemental Powers. I can see my eyes color change to complete yellow.
My wolf, Kane, is about to take over me right now.
I wave my fist in the air and Aloha Lance’s wolf comes flying to the other end of the woods. He abruptly wakes up and continuous to charge towards him.
“Fool!” I snap as I take after him at top speed, when I’m close enough, I jump on his back and as I land on him, I let Kane take over me and I shapeshift into big brown Alpha Wolf.
Alpha Lance swiftly shrugs me off his back and I land on my hooves and we bother face each other, growling as we walk in a circular motion, definitely calculating each other.
Everything this man has ever done to me comes flashing on my mind. The fact that he treats his poor werewolves like trash only makes me angrier and when I remember how he attempted to kill the baby in Reign’s womb, I loose my cool and attack him in anger.
Since we both have Alpha Blood, we are kind of very strong and right now, only the strongest can win this fight.
He gives me a dangerous scratch on my face that forms numerous dress starches but they heal immediately. I take a step backwards and gather my momentum and before he can realize it, I jump on him, targeting his neck with my canines and I sink them into his neck, he let’s out a loud painful growl as he pushes me off him.
The taste of blood on my tongue only makes me angrier and thirst for more and I gracious charge towards him once more. This time around, he succeeds his dodging and I pass through.
He stands far away from me, trying to regain his strength as the bites at the side of his neck heals. We do the same circular motion and this time around I don’t think about all the terrible things he has done to us, but I think of how I’m can get a hold of his neck and snap it so he can die.
He suddenly charges towards me and I stay on the spot and quickly calculate his moves, as he jumps up to land on my body, I grab his hind legs and push him to the ground on his back. I tear a good piece of flesh from his body and he growls in pain as he goes weak beneath me. I hold his head in my forelimbs and the look of defeat give me the courage to snap his neck and he goes still beneath me.
I already made this clear to him before.
I just had to be the one to end this man’s miserable life.
