The Alpha was furious beyond rage to know his mate was being hurt in his presence, but couldn't let his frustration out due to fear of Raine getting afraid with the sight of his outburst. So, this was the time to find out the truth.
"It was ordered by…" The Lycan's eyes flickered at his Alpha, Alpha Xavier, who was standing not too far from them. His whole body was shaking, due to defying his Alpha.
Everyone's eyes fell on Alpha Xavier, while the person in the center of attention, widened his eyes in disbelief. His own people betrayed him!
"SAY IT!" Torak roared in fury.
"It was ordered by… Alpha Xavier…" He stammered in fear. "Alpha Xavier said to… to take the girl's blood…"
"That girl is Alpha Supreme Torak's mate! SHE IS YOUR LUNA!" Raphael told him, but also declared to the other Lycans about Raine's identity.
The statement made every Lycans were stunned incredulously, no one would have ever thought that Torak would have his other half or they would have a Luna, not to mention this was a Luna from a mate bond.
Was the Moon Goddess had lifted the curse?
But, of course the most shocking Lycan was the man who had hurt Raine. With his aching body he crawled back toward the furious Alpha.
"Alpha… I didn't know…I would never hurt my Luna…I will never do that…" He pleaded, dragging his broken body. "It's Alpha Xavier who ordered me…"
Broken bones would take a long time to heal and when he moved his body, it was like thousands of blades stabbed him consecutively, however in spite of the agony that he felt, he was dominated more by his fear of the Supreme Alpha.
Before he could approach Torak the two warriors from before,held him down. Leaving him pleaded desperately.
"No! He lied!!!" Alpha Xavier refused to acknowledge the accusation, but his body movement told the other way.
As Torak approached him, Xavier turned aggressive and started to shift in order to defend himself, out of feeling guilty and being exposed.
"KILL HIM!"Xavier shouted an order to his Beta and warriors. "I WILL KILL YOU!"
Looking at their Alpha had turned insane, all the Lycans from the Blue Moon pack eventually knelt down, showing their submissive gesture to the Supreme Alpha. They knew better to not enrage him. Furthermore, to hurt other Lycan's mate intentionally or unintentionally was a crime in their community. Not to mention she was a Luna.
On the other hand, anger had consumed Xavier, his claws retracted and glimmered under the moonlight when his canines elongated as his roar cracked the night.
He actually shifted into his black wolf and lunged towards Torak, trying to attack him. However, before he got his claws laid on him, a bronze colored wolf had bit him first on his neck and smashed him to the ground.
The black wolf skidded a few meters away before he stopped and lunged forward for another attack, but this time he was surrounded by ten wolves that took him down easily.
Sounds of bone-cracking and deafening howls shattered the ground.
The Blue Moon pack member were shaking in fear. Their body were trembling by the sound of their Alpha was being demolished. No matter what, Xavier was still their Alpha and they shared the same bond. They could feel his agony and rage through the bond. Not only that, he also hollered for backup through the mind-link. It took all of their might to forsake the command.
Torak's rage was enough to make them rooted still on the ground, didn't dare to take a single step without his consent.
And it didn't take a long time for Torak's warrior to put the black wolf Alpha Xavier to his death. Once the sound of the battle had ceased down, the ten wolves dispersed. Behind them, a big black wolf laid dead on the ground, almost unrecognizable.
Alpha Xavier from the Blue Moon pack was no more. He was beaten up by ten wolf warriors and it was not an honorable death. As Xavier still held an Alpha title it should be Torak—the Supreme Alpha, who finished him off, but Torak didn't have any intention to give him that honor.
"With this, I, Torak Donovan, the Supreme Alpha of all Lycantrophes, bestow an Alpha title to Beta Ryan of the Blue Moon pack! May you carry out your duties well—" After the death of the Alpha, Torak pointed Xavier's Beta as the new Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack. "Welcome your new Alpha!"
All the Lycans with rank below an Alpha, especially from the Blue Moon pack knelt before their new leader while the other Alphas simply gave Ryan nodded in acknowledgment. In the other hand, Ryan was flabbergasted with the new title he was given after such bloody circumstances, but he was quick to recover and thanked Torak.
After that, Torak walked towards the injured lycan. He was trembling with the sight of his previous Alpha, who had ordered him to do this.
"Supreme Alpha Torak… please…I didn't know…" He pleaded.
