05| Defying The Alpha.

Alpha Bastion watched as Mira fell to the ground at his bare feet. Her red hair blew in the wind assaulting his sense of smell and he could see the flickering shadows from the fire as it danced across the dark green grass.

His wolf clawed at his chest with a snarl hanging off the tips of his protruding canines.

~Mate!!!~ His wolf, Shadow howled. ~I will tear Enzo apart!!~ He snarled viciously meaning every word. 

The Alpha closed his eyes, trying to keep his wolf at bay. ~You will do no such thing. Enzo is our Beta, our most loyal and trusted comrade.~

Shadow replied with a vicious snarl before he stepped back into the shadows.

The breathless silence from the assembled circle didn't go unnoticed. A soft murmur swept through the air beside the crackling sound of the fire popping. Alpha Bastion looked down at Mira, his hands curled into tight balls as he willed himself to stay rooted in his place. 

Mira stood up, coming face to face with the Alpha. "You took something from me that doesn't belong to you, and I want it back, now." She demanded, holding out her hand.

Gasps filled the smoky, chilled air. The people in the circle were shocked, surprised even, and they quickly became infatuated with the small red-headed woman who dared speak to their Alpha in such a manner. 

Beta Daniel stepped forward, breaking the link in the circle. He was more than happy to punish the rogue in front of an audience. For he loved the attention that sprung from the she-wolves. 

Beta Daniel...

He bears a gentle soul who feeds off misery. He is mateless, patiently waiting for her to become of age if she is from their pack or where ever she may be. He will give up his life for his Alpha, guard Pack Stone Moon territory with his last breath, and tend to his frailing mother at all hours of the day. 

"You will be silenced rogue if you don't show the Alpha some respect." The Beta growled, joining the circle once again when a low snarling growl reverberated from his Alphas chest.

Mira wiped her hair away from her face. "He is not my Alpha." She stated clearly as she wanted everyone to know. 

Alpha Bastion took this as a challenge, "Kneel." He ordered in his Alpha tone, wanting to see if she was truly wolfless as well.

Mira did not budge for she felt no compulsion to do so. Her eyes narrowed and she smiled at him as she cocked her brow. 

Placing a hand by her ear, "I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear you. Would you like to give it another shot with some feeling this time?" She had the balls to ask him in a snarky manner.

The Alpha widened his stance, rolled his head in a circular motion and when his eyes met Mira's, they glowed with crimson rings. "ON YOUR KNEES!!!" He bellowed, his voice came out in an almost demonic like tone. 

Her knees partially buckled from under her, the beating of her heart drummed in her ears and her breathing became ragged. She parted her lips and swept her tongue across the seam of her mouth as the pull she felt towards Bastion from their first encounter returned.

But this time it was stronger than before and as her brows knitted together, the Alphas musky scent filled her nostrils.

Regardless, his demand still wasn't sharp enough to make her kneel before him. Instead, she looked up at the heavens and sighed deeply.

The reddish-tinged moon lit the pitch-black sky as it shook with thunder. She sensed everyone in the circle around her had already descended to their knees.

Lowering her head, she took one look around the circle and chuckled. 

"The pendant you took. I want it back." She demanded sternly. 

As the Alpha regarded her, his world came to a stop, the beating of his heart made him see her with a brilliant light surrounding her, and his breathing became rough, thin... Wild.  

"Or what?" He challenged her breaking free out of his trance.

Not only was he still coming to terms that his orders did not affect her, but his fascination for her grew sickeningly intense.

As she regarded the still-smouldering embers, she clenched her molars together and tightened her jaw. Her body still felt weak, but she needed that pendant back and if she had to threaten the Alpha's life to do so, she would without batting an eye. 

With her gaze focused on the Alpha's, she began to draw from her source of energy. She proceeded to manipulate gravity by extending her right arm behind her and she turned the palm of her hand upwards. As she was dragged into the circle, she recalled seeing a hunter's knife resting atop a wooden log.

She waved her arm in a circular motion, utilising the flames of the fire to retrieve the knife. She then propelled her hand forward, holding it in front of Alpha Bastion's face, and the knife that was being carried by the flames of the fire was pointed directly at him as it hovered over her shoulder.

The Travis brothers used the distraction they were blessed with and took off running. No one dared to pay attention to them as they knew they would suffer more, now that they are rogues. 

"Witch..." 

"She's a rogue and a witch..."

"Rip out her heart..."

Alpha Bastion swallowed thickly, his eyes grew large as he was lost in Mira's glowing eyes and when she focused her attention on the mimicking crowd, the knife embedded in the flames soured through the air towards them, instantly hushing them. 

"I am not a witch!" Mira cried out. "I am not your average wolf either!" Tears pricked her eyes as she could sense the unwelcoming sensations of rejection all over again.

"You speak of a pendant?" A soft, fragile voice speaks up.

"I do, a ruby pendant that was given to me by my mother." 

An elderly lady with silver hair decorated with a gold butterfly plated clip and an emerald ring on her right hand got to her feet and took a step forward."You are the exceptional offspring of Levi and Clove?" Her voice shook with surprise as her eyes watered.

She knew this to be true because she was the one that helped Clove deliver Mira into the world and watched as she gave Levi the pendant before she was escorted onto the ship that took her back to her home planet.

She turned around and faced the circle of people. "She is no witch. The female that you see standing before you is a hybrid." The elderly lady paused, waiting for the piece of information she had given them to sink in."Her father Levi was a pure breed Lycan and her mother was a Light Oracle from the planet of Morzovia." She continued and struggled as she got down to one knee and bowed her head. "She is a descendant of a king who gave up everything for the love of his child and a powerful Light Oracle that can implode the Earth with a snap of her fingers. 

"Lies!" Beta Daniel hissed. "She is a rogue, a wolfless rogue that should be punished for her crimes committed against our Alpha!"

"Yes. For her protection, her father abandoned their pack and sought the protection of another." The elderly lady argued back with bravado.

Mira turned to face the elderly woman and walked up to her, holding her out. The elderly lady lifted her head and placed her hand on Miras, allowing her to help her to her feet. "You knew my parents?" She asked, seeking answers about her parents. 

"I did, and the pendant she left behind wasn't only for your protection."

"It wasn't?" 

Mira flicked her fingers behind her, causing the flame that was still hovering over her back to return to the pit of spewing wood from where it had originated, before dropping the knife at her feet.

The elderly lady shook her head, "No child. It is also a way for her to communicate with you when the pendant is in your possession, and because you have not communicated with her for over two days. It won't surprise me if she has sent down a Nightengale warrior to come and retrieve you." 

The Alpha blew air out of his nostrils as a sense of possessiveness and jealousy consumed him when he thought about another male claiming his extraordinarily phenomenal mate.
