ISABELLE, THE KICK-ASS ALPHA
She lay Jake down carefully and took the keys out of her mouth as she stood outside the trainers cell.
There were at least fifty keys on the ring, all in the same iron metal and nearly the same shape. The only difference was the symbols carved into the top of them. Symbols no doubt that was there as a system to identify which room they belonged to, a system Isabelle didn't have the advantage of knowing.
Isabelle frantically tried key after key in the lock with no success and after the 15th key she turned to look at her mate.
He was slowly slipping away and she didn't have time to search through all the remaining keys.
Isabelle looked at the heavy metal door in desperation as an idea popped into her head.
" We can do this, it's our only option....ready 3...2....1..." Her wolf encouraged and Isabelle took a few steps back then ran at the door and with all her might barged into it with her shoulder.
The heavy door shook on its hinges and despite the pain radiating in her shoulder Isabelle took a few steps back and barged into the door again and again, each time the door shook violently and on her fourth attempt the door flew inwards off its hinges landing with a loud thud on the floor with Isabelle laying on top of it.
Shaking off her mild injures Isabelle lifted her head and was hit with the horrifying scents of urine, sweat, mould, burnt flesh and blood - lots of blood. Her eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness and at the far end of the cell pinned to the wall with silver chains at his wrists and ankles and two long silver-tipped pikes piercing his shoulders was her trainer.
" MIKE! "Isabelle screamed as she saw his figure and she ran towards him.
Isabelle stopped in front of him and gasped in horror.
The trainer was bloodied and bruised everywhere causing what was left of his clothes to stick to him and his left eye to swell shut. He had the skin peeled off from wrist to elbow on both arms and he had burn marks and cut marks on his exposed legs.
" Oh Mark, what has he done to you? " Isabelle sobbed as she ran to him and after checking to see if he was alive she gently stroked his unblemished cheek trying to him gently.
" Isabelle...? " He asked groggily and Isabelle too emotional to speak simply nodded. " You're okay! " Isabelle nodded as she tried to tug on the chains to release him. " I knew he caught you again and I tried to get free so I could help you escape again but I was too weak. Was that gunshots a few moments ago are you sure you're okay? " He asked as he searched her body visibly looking for bullet pounds.
" I know you did but I'm going to rescue you now okay? And yes it was gunshot's you heard basically to sum it up quickly... the Rogue Alpha was shooting my mate and I reacted by phasing killing him and don't worry I am not hurt but my mate is. Ineed your help to get him out of here, so stay at still I am going to set you free then we need to move. "
" YOU'RE WHAT? YOU HAVE A MATE? YOU PHASED? " The trainer replied in disbelief.
" Later I will tell you everything," Isabelle said as she grabbed the silver chains ignoring the burning pain and summoning her Alpha power pulled them with all her might and they shattered into tiny pieces.
The trainer looked at her mixed with pride and shock " How did you.... they were sliver werewolf's are meant to be weakened by silver even Alpha's.... you must be stronger than we all suspected. " The trainer replied with a little more strength in his voice now some of the silver had been removed from his body.
" I guess so, later when we are home and safe I will tell you everything and even introduce you to mini Mike he's a pup from my new pack you will love him, but right now you need to take a deep breath for me the next bit is going to hurt I am afraid... " Isabelle said as soothingly as she could and when the trainer nodded and took a deep breath as she ordered Isabelle not wishing to draw his pain out swiftly grabbed the silver-tipped pikes in each of her hands and quickly pulled them out throwing them across the room in disgust freeing the trainer.
Mike screamed as the pikes were pulled from his shoulders and fell to the floor in a heap.
" MIKE, I know you're in pain but we need to move, please....I don't know how many Rogues they are but I will need to fight them so we can get to safety and I can only do that if I know you and Jake are safe. I need you to please... please get up and protect yourself and Jake whilst I try and get us to safety. "Isabelle pleaded as Mike lay on the floor panting heavily, she knew he was weakened and in pain but they were running out of time.
" GET UP NOW! I KNOW YOU'RE IN PAIN BUT WE NEED TO MOVE NOW, I NEED YOU GET UP! " Isabelle roared in her Alpha tone making the trainer look up at her.
Isabelle was glowing with an aura of dominance and strength.
Her mesmerising eyes that always looked at him with love and kindness now looked at him still with love but also mixed with Alpha strength. However the thing that made the trainer shake of his pain and slowly got to his feet was her voice,it portrayed the raw strength of a very strong Alpha that demanded orders they gave me obeyed.
" Yes, Alpha! " Mike replied as he stood before her taking in her strong and authoritative presence and smiling at her proudly.
" Thank you, Mike. " Isabelle said softening her voice and returning his smile.
" The plan for our escape is simple.... I will lead us out of here and we will head towards the forest, I doubt Jake came here alone he mostly likely only came to get me alone unaware the Rogue Alpha knew he was here thinking it would be the best strategy for my safety, but he's smart and his army will be near the border by most likely in the forest. We can't call them for help however as the Rogue Alpha cast a cloaking spell not only on himself but for us too. We can't be seen or heard by others outside the pack's borders whilst we are on his territory, I overheard him bragging about it was him back up plan so I will have to lead us to them fighting off the Rogues as we go and your job is to carry my mate out of here as we go following behind me as I clear a safe path and to protect yourself and him from any Rogues who manage to slip pasted me. Can you do that? " Isabelle asked looking determined.
" Yes Alpha, and it's 200... 200 Rogues we need to get passed. You said you didn't know the number before... " Mike explained.
"200 " Isabelle took a deep breath at the thought of the challenge ahead they faced, she had only ever met about 80 of the Rogues during her 10 years held captive and had no idea there was that many. She was scared but her wolf growled urging her to be strong and to trust her own strength.
Isabelle determination spurred by here wolfs confidence and her desperation to safe her mate and trainer came back as she replied " Well let's move out.... 200 Rogue's are eagerly waiting to get their asses kicked " She and the trainer laughed before he took off his blood-soaked t-shirt handing it to Isabelle to cover her nakedness. She had been so focused on saving him she completely forgot she was stark naked since she phased from a wolf back into human form.
" You'll be needing that then. " Mike said amused, Isabelle nakedness not tempting him at all as he loved her like a daughter. Isabelle blushed slightly not at being naked in front of him as he was family but by the fact she was so absorbed in her plan she had completely forgotten she was naked. She gratefully put the t-shirt that was knee length on her on then they quickly left the cell both trying to stay positive and focus on their missions despite the odds being overwhelming.
Isabelle had led them out the prison and to the training field that lay between them and their exit off of the Rogue Alpha's land and to safety. So far they had met no resistance but that all changed as in front of them stood the 200 Rogue army led by a crazed looking Damien at the centre.
" YOULITTLEBITCH! You killed our Alpha we will make you pay for that... " Damien threatened.
Isabelle knowing they had no chance if they all attacked at once tried to provoke Damien into stupidly either attacking on his own hoping that when she killed him her display of power would make the Rogues cower in fear and allow them passage or at the very least make him attack with a small number at a time letting her dwindle down their numbers slowly." Yes, I did kill him. He pleaded for mercy at the end... showing how weak and pathetic he really was... a bit like you. " Damien growled and a few of the Rogues who were loyal to the Royal Alpha tried to move forward to attack but were stopped byDamien lifting his hand showing her plan was working.
" He was a great and powerful Alpha! " Damien roared.
" Yeah so powerful he got slaughtered by me a little she-wolf... I killed him slowly you know ripping limb from limb enjoying his screams and pleads for mercy...he was so scared and pathetic he even wet himself in fear.... "The Rogue's who were loyal or at least respected their deceased Alpha moved forward prepared for attack.
" ENOUGH! STAND DOWN THAT BITCH IS MINE!! " Damien ordered with his Beta authority making the Rogues whimper and submit to his demand. Damien looked at Isabelle rage filling his eyes before he shifted into his wolf and charged towards her and Isabelle did the same.
The two wolfs ran towards each other snarling and prepared for battle as the trainer shifted to protect Jake like he promised he would and then he and the Rogues starred at Isabelle and Damien anxiously awaiting the outcome of the battle.
