Chapter 54: An Alpha's Downfall

Chapter 54: An Alpha’s Downfall

Aiden’s POV

“Fucking calm down. You’re fidgeting.”

I growled silently at Jacob from what he said. But I am! I’m fucking fidgeting because we haven’t heard

from Lucianna or Nick if they found Ashira by now.

“Chill.”

I groaned between gritted teeth. “You start the it.” I said, referring to the fight to occur. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“You should be the one doing the introduction, First-Alpha-on-the-North-list.”

Ugh. I know that but I can’t take my head off Ashira, continuously reaching her mind but I really can’t

get inside our portal.

This is so frustrating!

I looked at Jacob with narrowed eyes and he slumped his shoulder with a sigh.

“Good image to show me, brother.”

I snorted. “Like I needed to teach more, brother. You had your mate without my help so you can do this

one.”

Jacob laughed. “Lazy Alpha of the strongest pack.” he continued laughing when I scoffed, ignoring him.

He cleared his throat before taking a step forward.

We are standing at the upper floor of the field, where we can see the fight clearly and where we are

able to interfere the fight once it got out of hand.

Well, one needs to kill the other, anyway so we wouldn’t need to intervene but if someone walks in and

try help Elon, we have the right to kill them right away.

“An evening I’m sure is not pleasant to everyone here.” Jacob started.

I almost laughed by his opening speech. The crowd sure is pleasant right now for being off the bond

with their worthless Alpha.

“The winner of this fight will be declared the next to reigning Alpha of Ravenous pack. The fifth in line of

the North region.” the crowd cheered and some shouted to start killing Elon already. Jacob looked back

to me with a smirk before he continues.

“A win will be decided when one of the fighter dies. No rules will apply for the two alpha bloods on the

field but its strictly forbidden for anyone to intervene.”

The crowd continues shouting and I knew no one will try and help their Alpha at all.

What a poor bastard.

“Let the battle begin!”

‘Nick, update me.’ I said through the mind-link.

‘We’re still at it. I’ll update you so do your role there.’

I sighed and cleared my throat. I tried reaching Ashira’s thoughts again but still nothing.

Okay. I think I need to focus right now into this battle. I don’t think there will be harm to be done since

the pack already decides for themselves. So no one will fight us now.

Zeke stands proud in the middle of the field and in front of him is Elon who’s sitting comfortably on the

ground with his legs straight and his hands leaning for support.

“And who are you?” Elon asked Zeke.

Since Jacob and I are Alpha, we can hear the conversation with our enhanced hearing. The whole

crowd won’t but we do.

Zeke’s nose is flaring. I’m not sure but I already saw a shade of red in his eyes even though he is still

not an Alpha.

The crowd must be cheering for him to win. Giving him an ample amount of force and strength.

Elon looked up to where I was.

“It’s you I wanted to fight, Aiden. Why are you asking a..” he looked at Zeke with a disgust look. “I don’t

even know what you are, boy.”

Zeke’s body started shaking uncontrollably.

“Zeke, you need to fight in human form.” I said, enough for his ears to hear.

Zeke looked at me angrily. His body is still shaking, his breathes are uneven and saliva are dripping

down his mouth. A condition when the wolf part is taking over the human. Which he shouldn’t do.

Though its not against the rules, the crowd might think he don’t have any control over his wolf.

And that is not the right thing to show if you want to be an Alpha and if you want the pack to accept

you.

But of course, Zeke does not care about any of these at all.

“This guy doesn’t even knew the basic?” Elon said and laughed as he stood up, looking at Zeke with

narrowed eyes. “What is your right to fight me, boy? And… what is this smell? You’re a rogue?” Elon

laughed loud.

The crowd seems to be confused as the cheering dies down a little.

“So what?” Zeke said with emphasis of anger and he surely can’t hold his wolf any longer.

“Zeke. Fight in human form.” Jacob also instructed as he noticed that Zeke’s trembling won’t stop. It

even increases to the point that his shirt were ripped when his shoulders started growing bigger.

An upcoming shape-shifting.

“This is bad.” Jacob muttered beside me. I sighed loudly. “Maybe if he shifted, we could change the

report. What do you think?”

I scoffed. “With all these crowd?” Jacob is being silly.

“They don’t want their Alpha, anyway.”

“Still. There’s the Beta who’s waiting for a mistake to happen so he could reign this pack.”

Not that it matters but I would like Zeke to be the Alpha of Ravenous. He deserves that right.

“Zeke, there’s a law. If you won’t kill him the right way, we can’t let you fight him.” I said to him.

Zeke looked at me while Elon kept smirking.

Why is this bastard even feels like he win this round when all of his pack wanted him out?

“There’s no such thing as that, though, right?” Jacob whispered to me. I growled at him. Of course,

there isn’t but I’m trying tpo encourage Zeke to do the proper ways so the goal will be achieved right.

“I…” Zeke talked, making our attention back at the field. His eyes are focused to Elon and its

completely black. The way he speaks shows its hard for him, but there’s a slight hint that he is trying to

fight his wolf form taking over. “am the son of Zeuracious.”

After he said that, he gave a blow on Elon’s unprepared face.

The crowd cheered when Elon fell on the ground, flat on his face.

The weak Alpha spit blood and looked at Zeke with narrowed eyes and wide psycho smile.

“The son of the fool Alpha. Don’t make me laugh.”

From what he said, Zeke took another step to attack but Elon easily dodged it, giving a kick on Zeke’s

ribs, losing his balance.

Elon stood up to attack but before his claws reached Zeke’s torso, Zeke ducked and stabbed Elon’s

stomach.

“Watch the fool’s son kill you.” he said and pierced his claws deeper, hitting the internal organs of Elon,

before twisting his hands for further impact.

“Ack!” Blood bursted out of Elon’s mouth and his arms numbed falling on his sides.

‘We found her.’

I looked on my side when I heard Nick on my head. Immediately, I lose my focus on the fight.

“They found her and she’s alright.” Jacob said to me, too. Lucianna had reached to him, as well.

I sighed in relief and nodded at Jacob. He looked down and continues watching the fight. I peaked on

the field and Zeke is the only one attacking right now.

Elon is completely immobile.

This already looked like a winning match for Zeke as I see it so I decided to talk with Nick.

‘Is she alright?’

‘Yeah. I think so. She’s not talking to me though. Is that weird?’

My forehead knotted from his report.

‘How about Lucianna?’

‘Still the same. Nothing change between them though I feel like I’m left out.’

I groaned from how I imagined Nick pouting right now as he said those.

‘Stop acting like a child and be mindful of the surrounding. If anyone wants to assault me, they’ll go for

my mate so keep your guards up and stop sulking.’

‘I got it.’

I sighed. At least, she’s safe.

“Zeke is winning,” Jacob updated me about the fight. “Are they here yet?”

“They’re coming.”

He nodded and we both continue watching the fight. Zeke surely made this a fight worthy to watch as

he make Elon suffer than have a quick death.

“You…” Zeke stopped hitting when Elon spoke. He looked up at where I was standing. His face is

bloody and deformed from the swollen bruises. “…didn’t win this fight.”

Even from his state right now, he managed to smirk. The same look that its as if he did win.

I’m not a bit scared from what he said. I had my mate back, and he lose his own pack. I can’t see the

sense he was trying to point out.

“That Alpha is all mouth.” Jacob whispered.

In a brisk of wind, I smelled the most intoxicating scent that my lungs craved a lot.

She’s here.

I turned around and saw Ashira up there. Standing next to her friend with Nick behind them.

My mate. Finally.

I am willing to die just to have a look on that face. Just to be able to touch her, to smell her.

I don’t know what her emotion is right now. I can’t feel her yet. Did they make her drink another kind of

concealing potion?

“Just end it already.” I heard Jacob whispered, talking about the fight down the field but I don’t care

about it anymore.

My hands started to shake and I tried my best to hide it. It’s itching to be in Ashira’s skin. My wolf is

howling, longing.

‘Stay in there, pal.’ I said to my wolf when I felt him trying to take over. What’s he gonna do to Ashira

when I let him out? Jump to her?

I watched as I saw Ash took a slow step forward. Looking in my direction.

I thought she’s gonna fall and when she started running to me, I wanted to run to her too but my legs

made a slow steps to her.

She’s getting close, her scent is getting stronger.

My hand went up to the air when we’re a meter away but…

My eyes slowly watched as she run past me, ignoring me completely.

My hand was stuck in the air as the tip of her hair slowly fly in the air and her completely gone to my

reach.

A familiar sting on my chest was what I felt and it seems that my breathe has stopped, no, the air has

left my lungs.

And its so hard to breathe.

I heard Ashira screamed and… she’s crying.

I can’t hear it clear, it seems like my heart moved to my ears and all I could hear are its loud beats.

I’m confused.

Or am I just denying the possibilities that-

“DON’T KILL MY MATE!”

That four words crushed me into pieces.

My whole body was stunned, I can’t move or even to look back to my mate crying for someone else’s.

Nick stopped just right in front of me and I had the strength to put my extended arm down to my sides.

My eyes never left looking forward and I can’t even look at Nick who’s watching me in a shock

expression. Or to Ashira crying behind me.

I thought the sting I felt is in its maximum when my mate ignored me but the moment I heard the words

she screamed, another wave of pain stabbed my chest.

“Noooo!”

I hear her screamed again and slowly, I looked her way. She was kneeling on the fllor, her hands are

on the metal railings and she’s crying nonstop. The tears that fell on her eyes didn’t even halt and…

It felt so real. Like she really did lose… me. I’m her mate. Why is she crying for him?

“What are you doing, Ashira?!” it was Jacob. She tried and grabbed Ashira in the arm but she kept

wiggling, looking at Jacob with narrowed teary eyes.

“Why did you kill him?!”

“What are you saying!? Get the fuck up!” Jacob snatched her arm and I wanted to stop him but…

Lucianna ran past me and I saw how she looked at me with worrying eyes.

“Jacob, no, stop it. She’s…” I didn’t hear what she said next because Ashira screamed again.

“You let the father of my child get killed!”

My mind went black and the crying Ash, scolding Jacob, cheering crowd, every sound around me has

become muffled noise.

Father of her child?

That’s ours.

That child is mine.

I wanted to shout at her, I wanted to be mad, I can’t.

I can feel the bond between us but she… she can’t? Is it completely gone to her? She’s bond to Elon

now? Elon succeeded?

This is what he’s saying that I didn’t win at all?

For the first time in my life, I will say Elon is right.

I did lost.

The bond between them didn’t even break when Elon died. Death won’t stop this curse, is it?

Ashira, please, scream my name…

I tried reaching our portal over and over again. Saying the exact same words. Begging. Pleading.

“ELON!!!” she screams in agony and pain.

Its not my name she screamed.

Lucianna’s POV

“Let me go!”

Ashira kept struggling from our hold. I was guessing that she was stolen by Elon before we reach here.

He did one last mess before dying, that jerk.

I can’t even look at Aiden. I can see how lost he is. He is not even moving from where he was, he was

not saying any words, but his eyes says it all.

It’s heartbreaking.

“That’s not your fucking mate, wake up!” Jacob kept being harsh with Ashira but all she does was cry

and scream her fake mate’s name.

“Jake, please, that’s pointless.”

“You have your mate over there!” he ignored me and pointed at Aiden as he speaks. “Fucking open

your eyes and look at your mate!”

Ashira stopped crying and we thought she will look at Aiden but she looked down the field, to the

lifeless body of Elon.

She screamed once more and we were send flying over the bench, electrocuted.

Damn, that stings.

Jacob had caught me tho he took the blow.

Ashira didn’t seem to care as she jumped on the railings, to the field!

“Ashira, you’re pregnant!”

Oh, right, the baby won’t be harmed.

“Fuck,” Jacob cussed in the wind. “What are you doing standing there like an idiot, Aiden?!”

Jacob helped me up, his eyes are narrowed to Aiden who didn’t gave any response. I heard Jacob

clicked his tongue but didn’t say a word tho I can feel he got a lot to say.

We watched Ashira down the field, running to Elon and Zeke was watching her with knotted forehead.

“We need to get her back to the pack. Zynia needs to know this.” I heard Nick said to Aiden but still no

response from him at all.

Slowly, Aiden walked to the railings, looking down the field where Ashira hugged the lifeless body of

that fucking jerk Alpha.

Zeke’s POV

“What are you- Don’t tell me… Fuck you, jerk!” I gave the dead Elon a kick upon realizing that Ashira

was fucking snatched by him!

“Stop! Please, stop! You killed him! What more do you want?!”

I feel like my blood went to my head from the way she acts right now.

Disgusting.

I held her arms and made her stood up. My eyes leveled with her widened eyes and I can see pain in

there.

“Fuck!” I tried shaking her. “He is not your fucking mate! Wake up, damn it!”

Her sobs were what I heard before she looked down to Elon and screamed her cries once more.

I shaked her, telling the same thing over and over again but she kept crying like a true widowed

woman!

“Fucking hell!”

A hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me away from Ashira.

“Stop, Zeke.”

It was Aiden.

“What? You’re okay with this? She-”

“Everyone!” Aiden screamed towards the crowd who was oblivious of what the fuck was already

happening because of their bastard Alpha. “The battle ended right before our eyes and the report will

be sent to the High Council with clear results.”

“How can you act so calm-”

“For now, welcome your new Alpha. The son of Zeuracious, my cousin, the leader that would reign

Ravenous pack with dignity and honor. Zeke!”

Howls and cheer was filled in the Arena but I can’t take my eyes off Aiden, completely ignored the sobs

of Ashira on the ground.

“What did you just say-”

“You did well. From now on, you have the responsibility for this pack. Thank you for killing Elon for me.”

“I didn’t killed him for you! And what-”

“You’re the reason why my mate is dead?!” Ashira shouted all of a sudden.

I looked at Aiden and he can’t even look at Ashira. He was facing her but his eyes are looking past her.

“I did.” I saw how his jaws clenched.

“Fuck you!”

Ashira’s palm went on Aiden’s face, making a loud sound and I knew from how his skin went red that it

probably stung.

But Aiden’s face didn’t changed at all.

He didn’t look mad, hurt or sad.

It seems he loose the sense of emotion.

Or maybe he is the peak of pain that it won’t add up more.

“You are coming to my pack with me.” is the last word Aiden uttered.
