Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 120

Zeke's

Pov

... before I heard Naya's voice.

"You need to calm down, Flame." I pleaded desperately. Our rage was escalating as I tried to stop it. It slipped through my fingers like sand.

"Alpha, she is no longer in your seat. How long are we going to be here?" Elder Freya gritted out in anger. "Could this be because of another reason?"

"What can we do to appease your anger?" Marley's soft voice caught me off guard. "It was a mistake, Zeke. This is one of the reasons why I said that you need a mate. She would be able to calm you down." Damn Marley! She knew I wasn't going to kill her easily.

The elders won't let me. That was what they were here for, right? A part of me could feel their energy in the air, ready to suppress me. Elder Rosalie was doing this. It only infuriated me. If she was going to confront me, let her do it in my presence. I would tear her to shreds.

"Tears her to shreds? That's sick, Flame." His thoughts were my thoughts, and they were beginning to get to me. I could no longer separate his thoughts from mine, and it scared me. What if Naya walked through those doors? Would she kill me, or would I kill her? I could feel the elders trying to enter my mind. It was to hold me back.

"Tell them to stop, or I will make an example of them." Flame growled in rage.

"You will do no such thing, Alpha Zeke." Elder Rosalie appeared in the room. She too had her head down in submission. I was glad she knew the rules well enough not to break them.

"You are in my head, and I don't like it. Get out!" Flame roared my desires and soon I no longer felt her energy around me. "Don't ever do that again without my permission." I had no intention to fight her. Flame turned to Shadow. "Don't let her get into your head." Shadow perched on a desk with a cruel smile on his face.

"Never. Now, I need an honest answer from everyone."

Flame narrowed his eyes while I wondered what my brother was up to.

"Who is a spy?" He dropped the question, and it felt as if the air in the room slipped out.

"What?" They all began to murmur. I was sure everyone was going to have a sore neck after this.

"What are you talking about, Alpha Kyle?" Someone dared to ask.

Before he could answer, Reid burst into the room, and everyone froze. He was not fast enough.

"You are here." Flame smirked, jumping to his side and breaking his neck. It made a sick, cracking sound.

"Alpha!" Marley shouted, powerless. There she was kneeling with her head to the side, bowed and stiff. She dared not move.

"He disrespected you." I mumbled to Flame, looking at the lifeless body of the man who sparred with me and Kyle until we became Alpha. I was also looking at one of my father's confidants, whom he trusted. Flame killed him and felt no guilt. Even the elders couldn't say a word.

"Do you want to join him?" I asked Marley darkly.

"Remember, you caused this."

"Something else caused this, Alpha Zeke. Alpha Kyle, you should know this." Beta Brooke suddenly spoke, causing me to swallow.

"You aren't my beta, so you wouldn't know." I dismissed his words. I was trying to get him to shut up. Flame was listening to me for some reason. I knew that the source of our solution was nearby.

"You see?" He continued. This is why I said that both of you still need to be trained. When you make harsh decisions like this..."

"He's a child." Elder Freya chuckled, standing up from her position. She cracked her neck left and right. "I am tired of kneeling, so I stood up. Bite me."

I thought I was getting better. but it felt as though an invisible force was pulling me deeper into the hole of my anger. My wolf was furious, and I couldn't control the next thing I imagined. Or at least I thought I imagined it.

I killed Reid, I insulted the Luna of my pack, no one respects me, and Baron Diego dared to attack my mate in front of me. It felt as if our realm was done with me.

Tlost it.

"Elder Freya... Are you trying to disrespect me?" | eyed her standing frame, which gave me a challenge. She was testing my patience. "You are standing without submission."

Elder Freya gave an exasperated sigh. "It's enough, Alpha Zeke." She glanced at Kyle. "And that's enough too. We need to have a meeting and see how we can progress.

Proof yourself as an Alpha and stop being bothered about who called you a child."

She was smirking now. She knew that my ego was one of my biggest flaws. She was a s**t-eating b***h. I scoffed.

"You bitch." My anger coursed through me, although this time it was more controlled. "Should we test out that theory?"

Elder Freya seemed confused as she nervously smiled.

"What theory?"

"The bitching theory." Flame said before I fully transformed into Flame. I was no longer a wolf man but fully a wolf as I leaped over to tear her to shreds. Unfortunately, Elder Freya seemed prepared for this moment as she raised her hands to the heavens. She looked so serious, and I thought she was going to have her way to kill me or something.

"Don't kill him!" Elder Rosalie screamed as she floated in the air. "If you do that, she will kill you."

Elder Freya's hands were still in the air, while I was frozen and stuck. "Who?"

Then Naya came in.

"Alpha Zeke? Kyle?" I heard her soft voice. It sucked me in, leaving me helpless. I turned my murderous eyes on her.

She better leave, or I wouldn't know what to do with her.

Back at school, Kyle sometimes shared in my inexplicable anger. Even though we were praised for being the Alphas' sons, we both felt disrespected by the people of the pack.

One time, I heard someone call me weak, hence the reason that big bully would try to challenge me for my position.

These thoughts only fueled the fury burning within me.

I closed my eyes, trying to block out the energy around me.

"He is breaking out!" Elder Rosalie screamed to Elder Freya, who clapped her hands like thunder and wrapped them around her body. Her forehead suddenly shone with bright lights, and the symbol of a weather elder was displayed on her head. It was the symbol of a stormy cloud. She had been distracted by the fact that Naya had come into the room.

I chuckled wickedly. "You shouldn't have done that!" With that, I broke out of her hold.

The remaining elders stood up. "Let's stop him!"

Flame shook his head. "There is no stopping this. All I need is respect!"

Beta Brooke stood up. "You need to be disciplined, Alpha."

"Shut up!" I thundered, not realizing that I used my Alpha's voice. It shut him up immediately, and he kneeled down like a robot in fear.

I glanced at Shadow. "I need to teach her a lesson. Take Naya away."

Shadow pointed at Elder Freya, who had been fueling this fight all along. She was one of the major reasons I was so angry. I wasn't exactly angry at Marley. Although seeing her on my seat infuriated me. Her words made me feel guilty for leaving the pack alone too, but she tried her best to help me.

However, Elder Freya has done nothing but taunt me day and night, all because she is powerful.

"You are making a mistake, Alpha. You cannot touch me, and you know it." She backed away slowly as I kept coming to her.

"You may be untouchable, but your skin isn't. You can still bleed."

"I didn't allow the pack to be ravaged by the rogues and the rival packs. I protected the pack."

I scoffed at her ridiculous words. "Is that why you hid the fact that Beta Brooke was alive? Are you a spy?"

Beta Brooke sighed. "I did not tell you that for all of these."

"This is all wrong. Something is wrong!" Elder Rosalie began to plead. She has managed to keep her head on the floor no matter what she does. The same was true of the elders except for Elder Freya, whose head was still up. She was looking at me intently, and it only made me furious by the minute.

"Nothing is wrong, Elder Rosalie. We need to respect each other for me to rule. I can't have her go against me. She has to go." I sniffed the air. Naya was still here, watching me with fear. "Shadow, why is Naya still here?"

"I can't leave you." She suddenly said.

I paused. "What?" What does she mean by saying she can't leave me?

As a mate, perhaps.
