"If I give up so easily, I wouldn't be called the rogue king, would I?"
My eyes widened as I looked at the man in front of me. Did I just hear that right?
Is he the rogue king?
The same one who attacked Dark Flame before? Then he attacked Mallory?
This heinous Felix is the man who has thrown both packs into turmoil. I find it hard to believe that this good-for-nothing is the same one that has spread terror to small neighbouring packs.
His intro increased my hatred for him. This is the height of shamelessness. How can he go about snatching people's homes and still acting all righteous?
No. I won't let this go on.
Felix has to learn a lesson that will keep him in check and stop him from doing terrible things.
"Believe it or not, Felix, you won't be getting any more chances," Dorian snorted. "Attack my pack again and it will be the last you see the light."
Felix wasn't intimidated by Dorian's words. He probably didn't know what my man was capable of and judging from the look on Dorian's face, those weren't empty threats.
He meant everything he said. However, Felix didn't know that drill. He probably thinks Dorian is bluffing.
"Enough talking, let's see who deserves the Alpha position," Felix rolled his sleeves and sneered at me as he moved to attack Dorian.
Dorian stood unbothered and waited for Felix's attack. Felix's eyes shone and fingers elongated as he dashed forward with a loud yelp.
Dorian dodged and moved to stand behind him. He kicked Felix and sent him staggering forward.
"Go, Dorian!" Aaron screamed with excitement.
He seemed to already know that Dorian would deal with Felix.
Giovanni stared fixedly at the two men. He was focused and looked nowhere else but at them. Although, I know that Dorian is a very good fighter with a strong wolf. I have never seen him in combat.
Back in Mallory where I could have seen him combat with Derek, nothing happened. But I guess I would witness his thanks to Felix.
"I deserve to be the Alpha more than you do, Dorian. You know it!" Felix's voice was sharp and full of hatred as he yelled.
Did he mean that? Or is he kidding?
Does he deserve to be the Alpha? A lot more than Dorian?
This man must be a joker.
But I couldn't help but wonder why he would say that. Is he in any way related to Dorian? If he is, what happened? Why have they suddenly become estranged?
"Dream on!" Dorian jumped forward and scratched Felix's neck with his paws. He launched another ferocious kick at Felix, which was skillfully dodged by the man.
Dorian's eyes showed as much fury as there was in him. It was evident that he hated the man.
Soon the blows became fast and I could barely keep up with them. I decided to be a spectator just like everyone else.
"You sneaky animal!" Felix hissed as Dorian kicked his leg and made him fall to his knees.
I looked at the man and gasped in surprise as I saw his state. He has been battered.
Several scratches were all over his body. His face bled so much that I couldn't tell where the blood was oozing from.
"Call off your army or die right here," Dorian stepped away from him and wiped the blood on his hand with Felix's shirt.
"You hurt me once, I let it slide. But when you hurt my loved ones, I hurt you multifold."
Felix looked pitiful as he sat on the floor. However, I felt no ounce of pity for him.
Soon all of Felix's soldiers were back at the Fort, they stared wide-eyed at the fallen rogue King.
"You haven't won!" Felix muttered.
Dorian ignored him and took my hands. He signalled his beta and others as he took Aaron and Giovanni's hands.
"We'll see about that," Dorian retorted and moved away from Felix while shaking his head.
As we walked back hand in hand, we both heaved a sigh of relief that we had finally rid ourselves of the notorious rogue king. However, something inside me kept insisting that this fight was far from over.
Felix was too determined to give up. No matter how hard he falls with each failure.
"Dorian!" Aaron leapt up with excitement. He found the exceptionally impressive,
"Really?" Dorian lifted him. "Did you find my moves impressive?"
Aaron glanced at Giovanni before responding, "Absolutely."
Dorian playfully tickled him before tousling his hair with his hand. "Practice harder and soon enough you will be able to do all of that as well."
Giovanni appeared deeply absorbed in thought; he had been saying nothing since the beginning of this discussion.
I am familiar with his remarkably mature thoughts. He is probably thinking of a way to deal with Felix.
"Are you okay, Gio?" Dorian asked.
"I'm fine," he replied simply.
"Are you sure?" I jumped in and turned my son around to check on him.
I smiled as soon as I confirmed that my son was indeed unscathed. I sent a go signal to Dorian who was also waiting to know if Felix would end up dead right away. But luckily the man didn't hurt my son.
"Let's go," Dorian said, breaking the silence and leading us forward.
We arrived home with Aaron continuously chattering about all he had seen earlier. Gio, on the other hand still hasn't spoken.
Claire arrived with a smile on her face. She seemed to have heard the news of Felix's eviction.
"I prepared something to celebrate our victory," she started and pointed at the table.
"Wow, you prepared a fist!" I exclaimed happily.
I could kiss this lady. Because I was starting to feel very hungry all the drama from earlier had me hungry.
We washed up and sat at the table to eat, but a knock on the door.
"I'll go get it."
Claire opened the door and another guard came in, looking worried.
I sat up straight and the hunger in me jumped out the window. What is it with guards today?
"What is it now?" Dorian was impatient.
Judging from the look on the guard's face. It is not a piece of good news.
"Alpha, there's a man at the boundary who is asking to see you."
Huh?
I looked from Dorian to the guard. Who would want to see Dorian at the boundary?
"Did he tell you who he is?" Dorian was as surprised as I was. "Or where he has come from?"
The guard nodded and rubbed his hands against each other, "Yes Alpha, he said he is Derek."
