Bodies.

Blood.

Exhaustion.

It has been exactly 4 days since I found out my mate is pregnant. Exactly 4 days that I was made king of my kind and the human realm.

Since then a lot has changed.

Human leaders joined forces with my kind, wolf, fae, vampire, and others who choose to stand up and fight back with me as their leader.

At first, it was hard. Humans did not trust easily and neither did my kind. Since human weapons did not work on our kind they practically kneeled before me and begged for us to save them.

Typical humans acted big when they had no clue what lurked in their shadows and now they do, the weapons they had for protection are completely utterly useless and will not work in the war.

Fae uses swords, laced with magic and poison. Many of our kind rely on those for protection. When all werewolves need is to transform and use our iron skin and sharp teeth and claws to defend our pack. But that is not all. I trained my wolves the same way Locus Black did in the old times.

We can shift and switch to hand-to-hand combat within a second of re-shifting. Something that takes years to master. But I require nothing but the strongest of my kind.

Maybe I knew this would happen? Or that I was just too stubborn and refused for our kind to perish and bow down to people like Aeyon Grinmorte and Orion.

I refuse to submit to such evil.

I have so much to live for and to protect that it is all that drives me to do what I have to to protect.

Protect Sora and our pup.

Our pack.

My family's reputation.

After fighting a sudden ambush deep in the forest where one of our camps set up as a look-out post. I look around and see how this is only the beginning. And still.. so much death.

I was used to it. But some were not.

Humans proved their worth with our equipment and gained our trust. Vamps, fae, and wolves are now working together with the same goal in mind.

"Alpha, we counted 982 dead, a few missing and a few dozen captives-"

"We leave none alive!" I snarl out, peering down at the warrior who nods his head.

"Yes, Alpha."

The moment I begin to spare lives is the moment I lose. History would repeat itself and all will fall. I must stay strong for my mate and my pack, the people in the human world and the Vale are now looking to me to protect them as their King.

As much as I wanted to stop all the bloodshed for my mate after finding her, I simply cannot back down and watch this happen. I have to do the hard things so my kind has a future.

I bend down over the dead body of a pack member and close his eyelids.

His death will not be in vain.

They will pay for this, that I swear on the moon goddess.

I will fucking rip his worthless head from his pathetic spine when I get my hands on him.

Aeyon, I will find you, if it's the last thing I do, the dead will get their revenge through me.

*****

"Alpha the world has come to a warzone, already captured and many dead! We need to be on the move now, we have the upper hand!" General Pyke says as he slams his palm on the war table.

I growl in warning at his tone. "We will have the upper hand when I get word on Braum!" I snarl out, fed up with this conversation. "Braum is leading general for Aeyon, you humans have seemed to forget what we are fighting against. Or would you like a reminder?" I say as I  throw a headless Orion clan follower's head across the table.

Pale, deathly creatures. Abused dark magic until it consumed them and their bodies, mind, and soul. Eyes pitch black and haunting, teeth dark and sharp, they are the most ruthless deathly creatures to be known in my world, definitely should not be overlooked or ignored.

They waited in the darkness for centuries for this time to come.

"We can't afford to play games general unless you want this to be your head on my table next?" I glare at him as he pales and his Adam's apple gulps.

He shakes his head slowly. "No alpha of course not." He says as he stares at the bead in horror.

The rest of the room turns silent.

I stand to my full height and glare down at those before me. "Time will come general, get your teams ready and prepare for the gate. Make no mistake, you will get your revenge for today and the days to come."

"Leave. Spend what little time you have left with your families. In approximately 30 hours we leave for the gate."

With that everyone leaves the room. Alphas, generals, ex-world leaders are all under the same roof.

I sense the fear in the room and it was increased from the smell of burning bodies from the dead outside. Revenge has to be strategic and planned. Many of these men and women have not gone up against such forces before so most lost their minds or simply became an empty shells, craving for revenge, acting on impulse.

Commanding such humans is exhausting but I could not have done it without my mate. She has stopped me from killing them more than once.

I have NO patience for disobedience when it comes to this. I am good at this, war is all I know and I am not putting the life of my unborn pup and mate along with my pack in danger for selfish reasons such as emotional compromise.

"Kane?" I hear my sweet mate's voice as she knocks on the door and slowly peeks her head through.

I stand up, make my way to her angelic presence, in desperate need of her scent and body on mine. I close the door behind her with force and lock the door. "Kane what are yo-"

I lift up my mate and hold her against the door. "I need you." I interrupt her with such need as I smash my lips against hers.

I devour her mouth instantly, wasting no time as I capture her tongue in a fierce battle of need, to which I win. I need to feel her, more.

I need her more than I need to breathe at this moment it is all that consumes me and my wolf, I rip the dress from her body with my fangs as I feel my dick harden at how gorgeous she looks right now.

Rosy cheeks and her hot breath on my face. Her larger breasts are more visible and her scent more overpowering.

I can practically taste her juices with how much she is wet right now from the kiss alone. It makes me and my wolf incredibly happy as we let our dominant growl as I grind my large body against her much smaller one.

MINE!

I remove my clothing with a blink of an eye and waste no time entering my mate with force as she cries out my name.

Slamming into my mate against the double oak doors of the war room, nothing but the sound of my fierce thrusts destroying my mate's tiny pussy as she claws at my back crying in pleasure.

I bite into my mate's mark and I feel her cum with such force as I sink my teeth into her neck as I let out fearsome growls, still punishing her with my thrusts, every single one I'm telling her how much I am hers and she is mine. "Kaanee! Fuuuuck." Sora cries out as her legs begin to shake.

I grin into her neck as I retract my fangs and lick over the bite mark, causing her to moan loudly into my ear which sends shivers down my body.

She's mine. Mine mine mine.

I thrust into her a few more times until I feel myself explode and I feel my dick jerk violently as I empty myself inside of her sweet warm pussy. Letting out a satisfied growl I slow my thrusts as she grips onto me as she says my name through breathless moans.

"I love you mate." I take her lips again, this time gently as I slowly remove my dick from inside her with a 'plop'.

Her legs give out as I catch her. "Whoops." I smirk down at my exhausted mate as she just stares at me embarrassed.

"I think you broke me." She says out of breath with a shy laugh, totally fucked to pieces.

A smug grin covers my face as I put her down on a seat. "My pleasure baby." I say as I kiss her forehead.

I get dressed as I mind-link for spare clothes for Sora, I might've ripped them to shreds. But in my defense, they were in the fucking way.

"What are you thinking about?" Her small voice asks me as I snap out of my lustful thoughts of my mate.

I shrug. "How I wish I could keep you naked every day for the rest of our lives." I say seriously.

She giggles and the sound makes me melt. "You are insatiable Mr. Alpha king." She says and the words make my dick hard again.

I halt in my actions of getting dressed and grab my dick looking down at my mate as her eyes go wide at my erection. "I think I need to break you again." I say slowly as I take my shirt off again and her eyes go wide with lust and excitement and a hint of terror.

I can never get enough of this.

"Prepare yourself mate, I am going show you just how much you mean to me." I say licking my lips and I kneel in front of her legs.

Dessert time.

29 hours to go.
