CHAPTER THREE

CHAPTER THREE

KENDRICK’S POV

I gripped the hilt of my sword tighter and I planned to use it on a rogue’s sword. The sounds of swords clashing filled the air while my nostrils were filled with the smell of blood.

“Y’all made a huge mistake by attacking the academy simply because you aren’t allowed to school here. My colleagues and I would prove to y’all that we aren’t to be messed with!” I announced.

“Too slow” I mumbled under my breath. One just came at me.

I stepped back and rolled my wrist to adjust my grip. My steel met his flesh and I couldn’t help but roar in laughter, another of then was gone and in no time, they would all be dead.

The remaining of them could be counted unlike some hours ago. I took a deep breath knowing we conquered them already and as Alpha, I couldn’t be more proud.

“You shouldn’t have done this little one” Another had just charged at me when I wasn’t expecting. The blade of my sword caught his legs and it made him hit the ground hard, then I drove the tip of my sword through his chest.

“This isn’t the end!” One of them announced before a colleague of mine chopped his head off. 

Noon was here and suddenly an uproar began. I looked all around and found more trooping in from every corner and they made noises while they ran in our direction.

“Shit!” 

The majority of my colleagues were exhausted, I could tell by the look on their faces. I didn’t see them coming back bigger in less than an hour, I had assumed it would take them years or even months.

Three launched at me at once and I began fighting for my life and the fate of the pack as well as the academy. These set seemed stronger than the previous ones.

“An Omega on the battlefield” My words after I caught a sight of Lydia, the one the moon goddess choose for me by mistake.

“I didn’t settle for less and it was the right thing to do” I blurted. It was to stop the words she said to me on the day I rejected her from echoing in my head again.

“A sword? Really?” I muttered after seeing her pick up a sword. I was done with the one that launched at me when another four launched at me.

“This can’t be” I batted my eyelashes while speaking. Lydia was doing a perfect job with the sword and I still couldn’t believe my eyes, perhaps it the same Lydia I know.

In less than five minutes, I had taken down close to fifteen of them. I aimed only for their arteries and tendons so it made getting rid of them much easier.

I remained on a spot and watched Lydia. She kept on fighting like a trained and experienced warrior in her human form and within the space of a few minutes, she got rid of many.

“Now I know what she has been up to” I mumbled. It’s been months since I rejected her and since then, she’s been in the shadows, barely noticeable in the academy. 

“I knew it. She’s an Omega and will always be. They have eventually gotten a hold of her and now she’s on her knees” I jibed.

“There’s little to what she can do in her human form, regardless of how hard she trains. She ought to have stayed back and allow those with wolf fight this battle” I spat.

A sword was placed close to her neck by a rogue and was quite unfortunate that she would die trying to protect the academy, it might be worth it for her actually.

“You will regret this!” I yelled at the one that had just clawed me, how dare he!

My ears caught a very loud and distinct howl and it caught everyone’s attention, the rogues included. The howl shook trees that I took a pause and fixated my eyes in the direction it came from.

“This had better not be what I think it is” I cooed. The wolf in question had glowing eyes, unusual fur and a rare aura that made other wolves terrified.

“It’s a she-wolf” I muttered after taking a closer look but I couldn’t comprehend why she was on also on her knees like Lydia was about a minute ago.

“The wolf is larger than an Omega’s wolf. The last time I checked, she doesn’t have a wolf and even if she now has, she can’t be this powerful” I hummed.

I searched all around for Lydia with my eyes while I remained on a spot but I couldn’t find her. The unusual wolf looked in my direction and our eyes looked,

“Wh…at?!” I stuttered. The wolf belongs to Lydia!

The rogues continued to tremble at the sound of her howl and just like that, they surrendered one after the other. My fellow warriors were also terrified at the sound of her howl.

“She now has a wolf. When and how did it happen?” Kendra inquired. Her voice announced her presence.

“No wolf has ever radiated this kind of power” I muttered without looking at her face. Perhaps it wasn’t her first time shifting.

“She’s not an Omega! She’s a beast!” Kendra uttered but Lydia’s howl didn’t make her voice echo.

“Why is Coach Dave standing next to her? Isn’t he terrified of her?” I asked Lydia. She ought to have answers since they live under the same roof.

“I have a feeling they have something going on between them. He lifted her off the ground and took her somewhere the night you rejected her and tore the mate bond, they’ve also been spending so much time together” Kendra explained. 

“Hi Alpha Kendrick” Lydia showed up in front of me suddenly. I could tell she would love to have a taste of my blood so badly with the way she stared at me. She didn’t take long before vanishing into thin air.

“You see that man standing next to her, I need more information about him” I told Kendra. 

“I did a little digging. He’s Alpha of the moonlight pack” Kendra mentioned,

“Did you say Alpha?” I questioned and raised an eyebrow in the process.

“I was shocked as well, who could have thought?” She cooed. They were staring into each other’s eyes at the moment and it got me livid for some reason.

Coach Dave who was known to be a coach for extracurricular activities in the academy turned out to be the Alpha of another pack! I would have argued if it wasn’t Kendra that told me.

“Is he the source of her strength? Did he mark her already? Are they both on a mission? Do they have a common target?” My questions for Kendra.
