Chương 12: Feral Alpha - Part 1

More than half the night had passed and only a few hours were left for the sun to rise. But these last few hours were the most dreadful part of the night, and Azimir was on high alert. The blood-red moon was still adorning the night sky with the stars twinkling brighter than ever.

Azimir let out a light sigh as he kept a watch over his pack members, especially the younger ones. He knew that the few hours until now were almost nothing to what might happen in this most important part of the night when all the wolves could go mad with frenzy. Their lust for blood would intensify and none who came in their way would be spared.

At times, it would be so intense that some of the wolves had even fought with their own pack members to satisfy their craze. Azimir was only glad that the wolves had not met the humans during this time of the night. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to control them, let alone compel them to follow his orders to not hurt the innocent humans.

Suddenly, Azimir gnarled when he felt the changes in him and Vasili, who was right beside him heard him, right away. He noticed his Alpha shaking his head to stop the changes in him.

Vasili stopped walking and he stared at his Alpha, terror filling his mind. He had been with Azimir all these years and this was the first time that he was seeing his control slipping, albeit slowly. He had seen the other wolves lose their self-restraint previously when the night was almost to end. Even he himself had been unable to stay calm on a few instances.

Azimir, his Alpha had been in discipline and calm all these years. Never had he succumbed to his desires, forcing down all the negative emotions and his strong wish to hunt and rip anyone who came his way apart.

However, it was not so this time. His Alpha was losing himself and Vasili understood what it meant. Everyone, including himself, was in danger and they had to leave their Alpha if they wished to survive the night.

Not knowing the trouble his Beta was in, Azimir let out a frustrated growl as he continued to fight with himself. His craving for blood and to hunt everyone down was only increasing as moments passed and he realized, this time, he could not suppress his desires whatsoever. It was too intense to subdue and too demanding to not fulfill.

Azimir shook his head and in the process, his eyes fell on his Beta who was watching him, petrified and alarmed. On sensing his fear, Azimir's desire to rip the wolf's limbs apart only surged. But he tried to calm himself again even though he had long discerned that he was fighting a losing battle.

He had no idea about the changes in him. But Vasili did not miss them and he was stunned to see his Alpha's eyes turning red slowly. The once grey eyes were now turning to the color of the moon and Vasili could not help but run away from him immediately, approaching his pack members to alert them about the possible menace.

'I need to caution the other wolves before they too lose control. Once they go berserk, they will not listen to me. And if a fight between Alpha and them ensues....' Vasili stopped thinking for he already knew what the outcome would be.

None of the other wolves would stand a chance against their Alpha, and it only meant that if they did not run away before their Alpha lost his rationality, they would not be living to see the rise of the sun after a few hours.

The other wolves in the front stopped on seeing their Beta run towards them.

'What happened, Beta Vasili?' One of the senior wolves questioned him in his mind, confusion lacing his tone.

'We need to leave from here. Our Alpha is being affected by the effect of the blood moon and...and....'

Vasili did not even have to finish for the other wolves realized what was happening and their countenance changed completely.

This was bad!! An infuriated and feral Alpha was terrifying, especially when he had a lot of pent-up emotions and rage in him to unleash. And considering all that had happened and all that their Alpha had endured over the years, they perceived how aggressive he would become once he transformed.

Understanding the danger they were in, the wolves took off in an attempt to save themselves the remaining few hours of the night. All their blood lust and anger abated, and they were now filled with fright and uneasiness.

Although their Alpha was not in sight, he was somewhere nearby and they searched for a spot to stay hidden from his sight even though it was useless. Compared to them, Azimir was powerful and agile and had impeccable senses. He could easily smell them and detect them on this eerie night.

Neither could they return to the kingdom for the guards would not open the gates for them, nor could they stay in the jungle. And they had no other choice either. All they could do was hope for the night to end quickly.

Meanwhile, Azimir heard the wolves running and the leaves rustling. But he was too focused on controlling himself to care about them. His heart was compelling him to lose himself to his desires while his mind forced him to stay sane.

In the battle between his heart and his mind, Azimir was going crazy and his body convulsed in pain. He let out a whimper but it came out as a snarl and the wolves who heard him shivered in fear.

The pain consumed him, making it impossible for him to stay still. He lowered his body as he took deep breaths. But it did not help whatsoever.

Azimir's eyesight turned hazy and it was becoming difficult for him to see clearly while he started to feel thirsty. He bared his teeth while the pain in him intensified. He closed his eyes shut, unable to tolerate it anymore and a thunderous growl followed suit, shaking all the leaves with its intensity.

The next time he opened his eyes, they were blood red, just like the moon of the night. Azimir had lost the battle and he had succumbed to what his heart wanted of him.
