Alpha Blake scoffed, “I’ll see where your cocksureness will land you soon,”
“I know where it’ll land me- certain victory,” she sniggered, beckoning him to initiate the battle.
The Alpha King harrumphed vainly before charging at her, his tails extended forward, prepared to strike the opponent. Lavana also did the same, ultimately leaping at her foe, her tail set for the battle.
Chase’s father threw several swift punches at her but she dodged them all. Finding an opening, she rained a successive 6 blows to both sides of his face. Her foe’s tails weren’t idle either; they endeavoured to strike her severally but she eluded them by a hairbreadth each time.
Those few survivors of Ralton Pack quickly retreated as far as they could, fearful that the tails could send them straight to the grave.
Lavana didn’t make use of her tail just yet. She wanted to use the foe as practice and he soon realized that, becoming more incensed due to that. His attacks became more ferocious; he didn’t give his opponent any breathing space,Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Die, you wretch!” he barked.
“Sorry, it’s not yet my time,” Lavana said with a carefree look as she dodged yet another of his tails’ attacks.
“Stop dodging if you have the courage,”
“Will you stop attacking if I do so?” she questioned.
The latter couldn’t reply.
“So don’t tell me what to do,” while dodging his vicious attacks, she closed in on him.
Seeing this, he retreated a bit but still continued the attacks. Lavana suddenly increased the pace at which she ran to him. She no longer cared if the tails hit her, they didn’t do as much damage as Alpha Blake had desired.
He decided, instead of retreating- a sign of weakness- it’s better to use his fists to send her to her father.
So, in line with his thoughts, he no longer withdrew but ran towards her, his tails no longer attacked as viciously as before.
They collided and exchanged kicks and blows that were invisible to the naked eye, some evaded, others not.
Lavan’s tail had begun to do its part, battling all of the opponent’s nine that tried to entrap it.
Alpha Blake suddenly flew backwards, as his opponent landed a brutal kick in his gut. He ended up in the ruins of his residence once again. Lavana raced to the Alpha who had managed to get back to his feet after spitting out blood.
As he prepared to attack again, he felt something run past him in a blur. Alarmed he turned his head, only to see his opponent behind him, her tail had already wrapped around the nine tails that couldn’t show any resistance.
His eyes widened in shock, “You… let go of my tails!”
“Oh?” she cocked an eyebrow, “Since when did they belong to you?” saying that, her right claws lengthened more than before and she swiped at the tails once with her right hand.
Immediately they separated from who they were once attached to.
Then she ran off with her tail wrapped around the severed tails.
The Alpha who’d just lost what he was proud of stood frozen in place with eyes widened, unable to believe what had just happened.
Lavana who was now at the pack’s stream let her tail drop the nine tails on the ground. She then set fire to them and threw the ashes into the flowing stream.
She went down to her knees and kowtowed nine times before getting to her feet and racing back to the still-stunned Alpha King who at this point was on his knees, staring at the ground.
That bitch cut off his tails, just like that. So he was a tailless wolf- an absolute disgrace!
His son had lost his tails at the competition and now he, the father, ended up the same way.
Seeing her arrive with an unbothered look, his fury knew no bounds. He tried to get up but found to his dismay that he couldn’t stand any longer.
“What’s going on? You devil, what did you do to me?” he yelled, pointing at her.
“Nothing evil,” she replied smilingly, “It’s time to teach you a proper lesson,” she added. Her tail began to hit him harshly from many angles at a rate invisible to the naked eye.
The Raltons who had withdrawn to some far area where they could still observe the battle, were stunned to see blurs and their Alpha reduced to the point where screaming had become a challenging task.
With every cruel hit from the Olmpha’s tail, their Alpha King could only vomit blood and their dread grew, but they couldn’t let out a cry.
They could only keep covering their mouths and pretending they didn’t exist.
No matter where they looked, all they could see were ruins of once mighty buildings. The 2nd ranked pack has been reduced to nothingness just like that!
It was just one person, the female that their Alpha King had brought to the pack 15 years ago, to serve as entertainment, as a resilient punching bag- that pushed them from the throne of glory and arrogance and she did that so easily.
The weakened Alpha fell to the ground but the opponent used her tail to get him back to a kneeling position and then the tail wrapped around his neck before lifting him off the ground.
“Do you remember when you took down my pack, when you killed my parents? They couldn’t reach each other before expiring? You recall forcefully occupying the land and claiming it to be part of Ralton? Do you remember when your useless subordinate ripped a pregnant woman’s belly open and squashed the unborn child to death? You recall when you slapped me the first day you saw me? Answer me!”
Despite the difficulty, Alpha Blake managed to answer with a weak “Yes,”
“I swore from that day that I would avenge my people. I am supposed to wipe every soul in Ralton out but I changed my mind. You see those women and unshifted children? They’ll live to tell the story. They will become slaves to several packs, they can never be rogues. If they die from the hardship that accompanies slavery, that is none of my business. I won’t kill you, even though you did that to my parents. I let your son live back then. You will live a painful life until you expire,” her tail let go of the Alpha and he fell to the ground like a log.
She took out two bottles of wolfsbane from her space ring and placed them beside him on the ground, “Finish them,” she demanded.
Alpha Blake having no choice, slowly picked up one of the large bottles and after a while of struggling, the lid was removed. Then using both hands to hold the bottle, he drank it all, as fast as he could, ignoring the burning in his throat.
Then he reached out for the second bottle, removed the lid and drank it all.
“I… I’ve…. finished… them,” he managed to say. He was feeling extremely weak at the moment in addition to the burning in his throat and chest and also every inch of his body ached.
“That’s not all,” she took out ten larger bottles of wolfsbane, “This is all I have for you,”
Then she flew towards the other remnant Raltons.
Seeing that she was heading their way, they turned to flee but she suddenly appeared in front of them, stopping them in their tracks.
“Who asked you to flee?” she questioned with a scowl, “I’m not going to kill you,”
They immediately fell to their knees and started pleading with her not to kill them. They also didn’t want to be slaves.
They as Raltons had looked down on others like sh*t. They felt they’d soon become the first-ranked pack.
Now they were nothing.
Those they’d offended, if they became slaves to them… No, they couldn’t be slaves!
“You don’t want to die neither do you want to be slaves? Back then, did you ask if I wanted to be a punching bag?”
They couldn’t answer her question and she scoffed, “A bunch of wimps,”
She took out several green foul-smelling pills and threw it at the trembling remnants.
“Eat those,” she commanded.
Immediately they scrambled to get the pills she’d thrown to the ground. Without even cleaning off the dust, they swallowed the pills.
“With those, you lot will never be able to shift in your entire life. You will lose the connection with your wolf till you expire. Whatever happens to you, is none of my business. Now get lost!” she growled.
Immediately they got to their feet, said words of gratitude before fleeing in the direction of the entrance of the pack.
Lavana flew back to the Alpha who was having difficulty finishing the 3rd bottle of wolfsbane.
“If you can’t finish them quickly, I might feed you the pill for blindness,” she warned.
Immediately, he mustered strength and started downing all the bottles’ content. By the time he was done, he felt extremely tired.
“Open your mouth,” she ordered.
He wanted to complain but couldn’t. He could only do as she wanted.
She put several colored pills in his mouth and asked him to swallow them. Unwilling as he was, he had to obey.
“From now on, you can never see, speak or shift. You will be paralysed for life, there is no cure. And since you can’t walk or use your hands, don’t you think its better I give you another gift,” she smilingly proposed.
Alpha Blake shook his head, wishing more than ever that he could speak. His vision was becoming blurry by the second.
“Please, have mercy on me, Lavana,” he was forced to finally implore telepathically.
“So you recall my name now? I thought I was a wretch!”
“Please, don’t cut off my limbs. I didn’t do that to your parents,” he beseeched.
She shrugged, “I know. I just like doing so to my mortal enemies. You’re on the list. It wouldn’t be fair if I left you with any limbs,” with that, she used her claws to separate his four limbs and by means of telekinesis, placed them where he could never reach.
Ignoring his pathetic look, she hurled a fireball at the limbs.
Perceiving the smell of burning flesh, tears streamed down his eyes.
“If there’s a next life for you, never plan evil toward others,”
With those final words, she flew away in the direction of the pack’s entrance.
