Araknee The Lost Princess

Jason’s POV

“What have you done?” Nick, the kings gamma shouted.

All eyes turning to me as he stood over the lifeless body of a pack warrior laying on the ground. Feeling the heat from his eyes as they burned into my own, I began to shift into my wolf ready to fight my way out. As beta of the Royal Pack, I was stronger than Nick but still had to get past the pack warriors also present. I brought my wolf Blake forward as quick as I could knowing I would need him to escape my sealed fate. Once I had shifted Blake took control lunging straight for Nick however, he rolled to the side shifting into his own wolf. Blake has dark brown fur and is slightly bigger than Nicks sandy coloured wolf Haze. Loud snarls filled the room as both our wolves circled each other.

“Join us Nick, join us or fall with the rest.” I shouted through our mind link. A link that was only possible being we are from the same pack.

Without responding Haze barrelled into us sending Blake flying into the wall with a thud. I felt my wolf’s anger as our invitation had been refused. Before I know it Blake is back on all fours pinning Haze to the floor. The sound of feral growls and the heavy thud of paws sounded like thunder drawing closer as more pack warriors arrived. I knew I was running out of time. With a hard bite and a kick, I rendered Haze unconscious and threw myself out the window.

Blake’s fall was softened by the pink rose bushes that Luna Vanessa the queen of the royal pack had planted just that spring with the help of her daughter Princess Angel who only recently turned 2. Angel looked so much like her mother, and I could only wonder if she would be as beautiful when she was older.

“I guess we will never know as for our plan to work the whole royal bloodline needs to be eradicated”

“I know Blake, but I can’t help but feel guilty at the thought of taking the life of an innocent child”

Though I knew Luna Vanessa would be upset once she saw the flattened rose bush, I knew nothing would anger her more than finding out I had betrayed her and my alpha king. See I had been approached by a group of rogues roughly six months ago asking for my help to become part of the royal pack. I had gotten them an audience with the Alpha King William, yet they were refused a place in the pack. They weren’t refused due to being rogues as Alpha William always believed everyone deserved a second chance, however he denied them because they wouldn’t disclose what made them become rogues.

His duty as Alpha king meant he had to have the best interests of the pack when it came to their safety, so the rogues not telling him what they had done meant they could be very dangerous and were not to be trusted.

I was asked to escort the Rogues to the border of our territory which was just one more thing to piss me off, as being a Beta I felt this shouldn’t be my job but that of a pack warrior. The rogues could see I was nearing my last straw and told me that they would help me to become the Alpha King if I was to help them destroy the royal family we had now giving them superior roles within the pack.
