All I Want For Christmas Is You

(From 'When His Wolves Sing' Comes Another Epic Tale)

"What Is Fate, Alpha Of Alphas?"

The Alpha of all Alphas was standing in the center of the training grounds. The air around him seemed electrified as he paced, his long black hair flowing behind him like a cape. His dark eyes were locked on a figure that had appeared in the middle of the clearing. In an instant, his eyes began to change colors, taking the colors of his fathers Wolves. His Beta had asked a question but he did not hear it over his own heartbeat and roaring blood within his ears. His wolfsbane arrow was already drawn and aimed at his target before he fully processed what he saw. His wolf was fighting for control, begging him to put down his bow, he must not take that shot! His other hand gripped tightly the string of the bow, ready to fire. "Alpha, wait!!" The voice rang in his head but he did not listen. Not until the arrow had left his quiver and embedded itself in the heart of his prey. He watched from afar as the body slumped forward onto the ground. His Beta was calling for him but he could barely register it over the pounding in his ears, the roar of blood drowning out every other sound except the one thing echoing over and over in his mind. 'Kill... kill... kill...' The Beta pulled him out of the trance he'd fallen into and he dropped to his knees, burying his face into his hands, crying.

Rafa, his Lycan roared within him. [WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!!]

[ I killed our Mate, it's what I've done.] The Alpha Of Alphas rose slowly to his feet and faced the training ground once more, ignoring the tears streaming down his face as he stared at the lifeless form lying there.

"You have asked a question, My Beta..." He spoke softly. "Fate is when you've spent forty years without a Mate and when the Luna Goddess decides to give you a Mate she gives you a Tiger and not just any Tiger your enemy as a Mate, that is fate, My Beta." A new voice came from behind him. The Alpha Of Alphas turned, expecting someone else, a stranger, another Alpha perhaps. Instead, he found a small child staring at him with large grey eyes filled with curiosity and a burning taste for revenge. He looked so much like him! So familiar! And yet something was wrong with this child.

Well, that child is the Tiger he had just murdered and His Mate.

Fate Just Got Badass.

And it will sting like bloody hell.
