The Alpha Prince And His Bride
Episode 36

There was a wolf to the front that was nearest to me, I recognized him as a wolf I’d faced in the past. He was the Alpha of the Reds Pack and we didn’t have a very pleasant last encounter. He charged forward and aimed his attack for me. I grabbed onto the Alpha’s neck and with one aggressive pull ripped his head off his body. That seemed to be the cue for the rest of packs who were against us to attack, for within seconds wolves were attacking from all directions. There was growling, yelping and ripping sounds echoing throughout the entire forest. If anyone was near, they would surely fear for their lives. The sounds were similar to that of a horror movie but even that wouldn’t be as bad as how it was now.

Damn it.

How many packs exactly were here? From the looks of it, each of these were packs I’d faced in the past. All of whom I’d defeated in the worst way possible. It was safe to say that they all held some sort of grudge against me.

Each time a wolf came at me, I finished him off within seconds. These wolves were not a match for me or my brothers . . .not even for my oppressors, they were all being wiped out with ease. I’d trained my pack for situations like these and I was damn proud of each of my members. They were fighting with everything I’d taught them and I would have been impressed if I wasn’t so caught up in everything happening all at once. The problem was the fact that there were many more wolves coming at us one after the next. Eventually our energy level would decrease, it would be difficult to fight that many all at once and not fall in the end.

I took a quick glance at all of my pack members. They were already growing tired, we were outnumbered by a great number.

How long would we be able to keep this up for?

As I continued to evaluate my surroundings and take a closer look at my opponents. Something seemed extremely off about this entire ambush, none of these alphas were capable of pulling of something like this or even putting a plan like this into motion. Whoever was behind this had to be plotting for years and had to hold some sort of high power So, who was it?

It was hard to follow through on that thought for wolves were coming at me one after the next, sometimes more than one at the same time.

I didn’t know how long we were fighting for , the sound of bones breaking was all I’ve been hearing for a long time now , I studied our surroundings , more wolves were still coming . My pack along with my brother’s pack was getting worn out , they were too much for us .

I watched in agony as I saw many of my pack and brother’s pack members fight to stand strong despite having more than one wolf on each of them . It wouldn’t be long before we fell , we couldn’t hold off all of them , it was impossible . So far I knew every single one of the wolves that attacked , what the f**k was going on here and why the hell hadn’t any of us seen this coming ?

Then it happened , everyone suddenly paused as a new pack joined the fight … I froze for I recognized that pack instantly without even seeing their alpha .

Eric’s pack .

Eric stepped forward in his human form , surrounded by his entire pack who were in their wolf forms as his protection against me . So he was the whole mastermind behind this … MOTHERFUCKER!

Was this his plan all along ? To get Ariana to use that spell on me so that she would be so close to me that she would be able to find out all of the packs that held grudges against me … and then bring them all together to attack ?

How could I have been so f*****g stupid ? I’ve been defending the enemy for years now , thinking they were on my side when all along they’ve been plotting my own pack’s destruction . I was breathing hard as I glared at Eric and his pack , my wolf out for b***d .

Eric turned his gaze directly towards me and offered me an unapologetic smile . “Interesting , all that fighting and you haven’t lost a single one of your pack members yet .” He stated taking a look around at all of the dead bleeding bodies lying motionless around us with none of them belonging to any of my pack members nor my brother’s , we were badly injured and bleeding but none of us lost our lives and I prayed it stayed that way but it wasn’t looking good for us … definitely not with Eric’s pack being here , his pack was just as dangerous as ours. ” We all know that’s because you haven’t faced my pack as yet .” He drawled .

I growled , my wolf ready to pounce on him , his emotions a mess with a mixture of rage , pain and confusion .

“Wait , you might want to hear this .” He said , stopping us from advancing .” I presume you already know that you were under a spell and that I was the one behind it …”

WHAT AN A*****E!

” What you don’t know however is that I had your mate Lucy kidnapped . I also left Ariana to finish her off before we came here .”

My heart sped up , my wolf standing still as we waited for him to continue …. what the f**k was he talking about ? All this time Lucy was being by him and I didn’t know?

No … that couldn’t be true , I should have been able to sense she was in danger .

“Yes Austin … Lucy is probably already dead by now .”

Everything around me became motionless as my mind refused to come to terms with his brutal words …no…. it wasn’t possible ! Nothing could have happened to Lucy , I would be able to feel the loss of the bond the moment something did , would be able to feel my heart lose it’s will to beat . She had to be alive ! But by the way Eric seemed so confident about her death made me panic , everything around me beginning to spin , she couldn’t be gone … no , I couldn’t live without her . Lucy couldn’t be GONE!

My wolf threw his head back and let out an ear piercing howl of agony towards the bright moonlight followed by the howls of all of my pack members , crying out for the loss of Lucy . My wolf was raging as he turned back to Eric , one thing on both of our minds and one thing only …. TO DESTROY ERIC AND HIS BLOODY PACK!

I leaped into the air , trying to reach him and rip him into shreds but was blocked by his pack members . They all pounced on me the same time , preventing me from going forward .

I’d have to go through every single one of them before I could reach him but I didn’t care , I would kill them all even if I had to do it with my last f*****g dying breath !

……………………………

LUCY’S POV :

I was becoming more anxious by each second that went by , after I’d explain to my brothers what was going down they were more than happy to help me … a bit shocked at first but still happy to help .

In fact Ermanno’s exact words were ‘ We’re more than ready to f*****g rip Eric and his pack apart ‘, followed by Marcus’s ‘HELL YEAH’ and the rest of my brothers nod of agreement , they seemed just as determined as I were to finally get rid of Eric and his evil minions . I couldn’t blame them , they were in trouble now only because of that piece of s**t and I couldn’t wait to see him pay for making all of us suffer .

We had been racing through the forest for hours now , our wolves pacing through the narrow pathways , leaping over fallen trees and running as fast as we could . I was becoming restless for the trip back to Austin seemed to be taking forever and it was slowly killing me inside not knowing in what state he or everyone else was in .

And then we heard it , a powerful howl followed by multiple howls of agony … I stopped running in shock , my b***d crawling in fear of what those howls meant .

OH NO! Were we already too late ? Did someone I care about already die ?

I couldn’t move , fear clamping down on me and making everything around me turn motionless . My brother’s wolf gently nudged me , telling me that we had to keep going , that we couldn’t stop now . I didn’t need to be told twice , my wolf gaining more strength and determination than she ever did before , her long jumps even bigger than that of my powerful brother’s .

We were racing to those we loved , racing to save them , racing to see them once more and keep them safe from those who wanted to harm them … I’m coming Austin … I’m coming.

………………………

AUSTIN’S POV:

I was in the middle of ripping apart Eric’s pack when a loud howl rippled through the air and shook the trees around us , I froze recognizing the sound immediately … Lucy .

My head snapped up in time to see five wolves jumping into the fight , a group of powerful wolves I’d once fought …. Lucy’s brothers . What were they doing here?

I didn’t have time to ponder on that thought for right after I spotted Lucy’s wolf , she made a grand entrance as she leaped into the air , her beauty like always shone brightly , power radiating out from her in great waves as she landed right in the middle of Eric’s pack , followed by each of her brothers on all different sides of her .

My mate .

My love … the woman of my dreams … my everything .

She was alive , the relief I felt at that fact made me the happiest man alive , she was alive … Lucy was alive .

And she came to save us , she came back to save my pack and I even after everything I’d done to her , even after the way I’d treated her , the fact that she did blew my mind . She was an amazing woman indeed , no one could compare … I didn’t deserve her … f*****g no one did . I could feel the relief and happiness of all of my pack members through the pack link at seeing her and her brothers , we had hope now … things were actually going in our favor , we could all come out of this alive .

I suddenly felt a bolt of energy rush through my body , the strength of my wolf increasing at having his mate alive and at his side … we were about to take Eric DOWN!
