Chapter 832 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

A long second later, a dark brown wolf emerged from there, sneering to show his long canine teeth. Ruffled fur sticky from blood revealed claw marks on his left hind leg, but George’s pain was numbed by the adrenaline.

Owen’s eyes were open wide in disbelief. He and George had been friends from childhood, but Owen never saw George in his wolf form.

As Alpha Edward stood there, Owen confirmed that George’s wolf was bigger between the two.

If anyone doubted if George was an Alpha, those doubts were gone now. One could impact their muscle mass by exercising and eating a protein-rich diet, but the size of the wolf was proportional to power. Only Alphas could grow to such size.

Alpha William sucked in a sharp breath.

“What is it?” Alpha Richard asked.

“The mark on the boy’s head.”

Alpha Richard narrowed his eyes to see the light brown patch of fur on top of George’s head that resembled a five-pointed star. “What about it?”

“That’s the mark of the Frostcrest pack,” Alpha William said. “I knew Alpha Conor. He had the same mark. It runs in their family.”

“Are you saying,” Alpha Richard spoke in a low voice, “…that’s the young Alpha of the Frostcrest pack?”

“Not young. With Alpha Conor gone, Commander George IS the Alpha of the Frostcrest pack. And Red Moon pack is responsible for their demise.”

Alpha Richard was unsettled. “What does that mean for us?”

Alpha William was not sure. “If George were just a warrior, Edward’s win would be certain. However, now that we know he is an Alpha, things are tricky. Alpha Conor was not a fighter, but his wolf was strong. If this boy inherited his father’s disposition, and he sharpened his potential with the training of a warrior, Edward is in trouble.”

“What should we do?” Alpha Richard asked in an urgent whisper.

Alpha William shrugged. “There is nothing for us to do. Edward challenging the Shadow Fang pack was not part of our plan. Since he did that on his own, win or lose, we are just witnesses.”

“Can we do that?”

Alpha William snorted. “Do you think we will benefit if Edward wins?”

Alpha Richard shook his head, and Alpha William continued, “Since you know that’s the case, why do you think we will suffer if he loses?”

Alpha Richard knew it made sense, but it was not a secret that the two of them were closest to Alpha Edward. Will other Alphas just let them be?

In the fighting area, gray and brow wolf circled slowly while releasing low growls and observing, measuring, and deciding.

Dayson was scrutinizing every movement of two wolves while talking to Talia through their mind-link.

‘They are suppressing the other with their aura in order to gauge where they stand in terms of power. However, using aura too much takes concentration, and they need to strike a balance. George’s aura is stronger than Alpha Edward’s, but George had limited training in his wolf form because he couldn’t reveal his wolf here.’

‘Where did he train?’ Talia asked.

‘At the Shadow Fang pack. I taught him a few moves.’

‘You did?’ Talia asked.

‘I tried, but then he found Dawn and ended up screwing her most of the time.’

Talia didn’t want to think about what George and Dawn did in the privacy of their bedroom. ‘Are you telling me that George’s wolf is stronger, but Alpha Edward has more practice?’

Dayson confirmed. ‘Correct. This is a game of skill, instincts, and strength. George has an advantage in terms of strength, while Alpha Edward is better if we look at their skills. As for instincts, it’s a coin toss because both of them are under pressure. Every move could be deadly.’

Talia nodded in understanding. She noticed that audience was barely breathing, and no one was blinking.

The reporter stopped taking photos since George’s wolf appeared.

It was intense.

The gray wolf snapped his maw and sneered, and the brown wolf jumped at him.

There was a collective inhale as two wolves rolled together, each trying to bite the other’s neck and end the fight.

“Ahh!” Dawn cried when the gray wolf bit the brown one’s front leg.

George’s wolf managed to move and avoid fatal injury, but the amount of blood flowing showed it was serious.

Alpha Edward’s wolf had no intention of letting go, and George’s wolf whined while twisting his body, and then he bit the hind leg of the gray wolf.

With one jerk of his head, the brow wolf had a mouthful of fur and flesh, and the gray wolf yelped.

The brown wolf used this chance to move away and bite the gray wolf again, this time going for the neck. It was close.

The gray wolf kicked and snapped his maw, but it was in vain.

George’s wolf was biting harder and releasing low growls as George’s aura flared to suppress Alpha Edward’s movements.

Dayson released the breath he was holding, and Talia knew it was over.

It was like time stopped as everyone looked at the scene in front of them.

Eventually, George’s wolf stepped away from the gray wolf, who twitched on the ground, unable to get up and continue fighting.

“AWOOOOO!”

An earth-shaking howl ripped from George’s wolf as he raised his head to the moonless night sky.

George groaned as his form changed into one of a man.

His deep brown fur covered up the injuries, but his slightly tanned flesh was now mostly deep red from blood and engraved with cuts and gashes everywhere. The worst one was on his shoulder, which was bleeding profusely.

“Shift back,” George said to the gray wolf.

There was no response.

George inhaled forcibly. “SHIFT BACK!” An Alpha command echoed, and Alpha Edward’s form was revealed after a few painful seconds.

“Woah!” Alpha William exclaimed. “Conor’s son has the strength to command another Alpha.”

Alpha Richard swallowed hard. George was in human form, and he forced a command on an Alpha wolf. That can’t be good. What if he turns on them?

George swayed a bit before steadying himself and looking down at Alpha Edward, whose body was soaking in the pool of blood.

Dawn wanted to go to George, but Keith blocked her way.

“The fight ends when one of them dies or forfeits,” Keith reminded her. “If you go there, people will doubt the validity of George’s victory. Is that what you want?”

Dawn bit her lower lip and shook her head. She didn’t think about the stupid challenge. Her mate was there, injured and bleeding, and she wanted to be by his side.

“Conor Shaw and Eliana Shaw,” George said. He didn’t speak loudly, but everyone heard him. “My parents. They died because of you.”

Alpha Edward blinked while trying to focus. What did George say? The pain was numbing all of his senses.

“I never heard of those names,” Alpha Edward responded weakly.

George’s jaw ticked. “Alpha Conor Shaw and Luna Eliana Shaw, of the Frostcrest pack. The Red Moon pack invaded us, your father killed my father, and my mother died of heartbreak soon after. Your warriors plundered my treasury and did unspeakable things to the females. You took my territory, imprisoned my people, and whoever dared to object was killed on the spot.”

George spat a mouthful of blood on the ground next to Alpha Edward. “I was a toddler, and not many knew what I looked like, so you took me in as an orphan.”

George sneered. “The reward for surviving diabolical conditions was another hell you called training to be the warrior of the Red Moon pack and die with bullshit nonsense how it’s for the glory of the pack. There is nothing glorious about dying!”

“I raised you. Without me, you would be no one!” Alpha Edward sprayed blood from his mouth.

George squatted and looked at Alpha Edward mockingly. “Now you know who killed you and why.”

“Traitor!”

George released some of his aura and Alpha Edward groaned. “In order to be a traitor, one must be loyal at some point. You never had my loyalty. If there is such a thing as hell, tell your father that I look forward to the day when we will meet.”

Alpha Edward’s mouth opened in a silent scream as George increased his aura, and the cracking sounds were heard like someone was snapping twigs.

Alpha Edward’s body contorted as his bones and internal organs burst, and the pool of blood under him was rapidly increasing even though the thirsty soil was soaking it in.

George looked at the lifeless body. He imagined this moment many times, and in his mind, it was more dramatic. Music? Fireworks? Special effects? There was nothing extraordinary about Alpha Edward’s death. It was unremarkable.

George stood up and looked at the moonless sky that was speckled with countless stars, and George wondered if his parents saw this.

He did it. He avenged their deaths. Now what?

Soft fabric covered his midsection, and he felt a pair of arms snaking around his waist from behind. He didn’t need to look back to know it was Dawn. Only she smelled of cinnamon, and her touch came with the addictive sparks of their bond.

“It will be alright, George,” Dawn said. “Alpha Edward is gone, and we don’t need to hide anymore.”

George wished it was so simple. He looked around to see many Alphas staring at him, and he remembered where he was and why.

“Alpha Dayson,” George called. “As your Champion, I defeated Alpha Edward. It was my right to decide if I will show him mercy, and I decided against it.”

“You did good, Alpha George,” Dayson said. “In the name of the Shadow Fang pack, thank you. If you ever need assistance, you can consider us your allies.”

George lifted his chin. “Thank you, Alpha Dayson, Alpha Natalia.” For keeping his secrets and for allowing him to avenge his parents. George had Dawn now, and he had no regrets.

James stepped forward and addressed the people gathered. “For the ones who didn’t hear it clearly, Commander George is the son of Alpha Conor and Luna Eliana. He is the Alpha of the Frostcrest pack.” James turned to George. “Alpha George, do you know what you will do now?”

George wrapped his arms around Dawn. Other than being with her, he didn’t plan anything else.

“I think the bigger question is what will happen to the Red Moon pack,” Alpha William said, and everyone turned to look at Dayson.

Dayson’s eyes moved in slow motion over everyone present, and he paused when he saw people emerging from the forest on the North side of the training grounds.

Mindy, Gideon, and the Shaman of the Red Moon pack were at the front, and Arya, Tatiana, and Kalina were with them. Little by little, a dozen people became hundreds, and they all had the same lost expressions of uncertainty. They felt the pack bond breaking when Alpha Edward died and were unsure what to do.
