Chapter 115: _Kill Them All!

"Well? Answer the question, Alpha King." The man in charge of the human soldiers called out again after his previous question.

I glanced back at Marcellus who had an awkward expression on his face.

It’s up to me to make sure this situation doesn’t escalate.

’Oh, please! Let it escalate, we could easily take on these humans on our own if we wanted.’ Damon said confidently in my head but once again, I didn’t share in his sentiment.

’We’re trying to make PEACE with the humans and witches, you bloodthirsty dog. We can’t fight them.’ I responded with a firm tone, getting irritated even though I still had a smile on my face when staring at the humans.

Anyway, I cleared my throat before I began speaking to the human commander. "The thing is, sir..." I paused after that, swallowing down my pride with a clenched jaw. "... We’re here to investigate those attacks as well. The werewolves who orchestrated them aren’t affiliated with any pack but are rogues."

The commander scoffed, glancing at the soldiers who stood around him first before he turned his attention back to me.

"Rogues? So, you mean to tell me there are werewolves out there who don’t respect your rule? If they don’t and are still actively after our people then what’s the point of your ’truce’?" He asked with what sounded like disappointment.

I parted my lips to speak when suddenly, my uncle decided to open his mouth.

"Oh, please! You’re here acting as if you humans and witches don’t have bad eggs amongst yourselves. Every race has people who go against the rules."

My eyes twitched with frustration, and I felt the need to use my fingers to rub my forehead, but I resisted, keeping my hands raised above my head.

Instead, I glanced at Gamma Zane and glared at him, a silent warning that he should leave the talking to me.

"Oh, so now you’re trying to justify the atrocities of your people?" The commander asked with a snicker, shaking his head. "How quaint. As expected of your kind."

Just then, Marcellus sighed silently beside me. "I don’t think I like their tone, Kaelos." He whispered, his eyes scanning the humans’ faces suspiciously.

I glanced at him and bit my bottom lip, wracking my head on how to de-escalate the situation.

Suddenly, one of the soldiers standing close to the commander pointed at Gamma Zane with his gun. "Hey, what’s that one carrying on his shoulder?" He yelled out.

Shit.

I glanced back at Gamma Zane who seemed like he was about to snap but kept his composure out of fear of me.

I parted my lips, about to explain the situation with the body that he held but the commander spoke up with a suspicious voice.

"Is that a body? What’s the meaning of this?" The commander queried, raising an eyebrow. "You carried a body here? Why? You still haven’t told us the reason for your unexpected visit."

My smile almost faltered, but I was good at faking it in the first place, so I didn’t let it break.

Maybe if he would let me speak, I would’ve talked from the beginning.

"That’s the main reason why we’re here, commander. We found this human woman in the woods during our investigation." I revealed, gesturing at Gamma Zane to step forward with the body.

When he did with a disgruntled look on his face, I continued. "This human woman was staked to a tree and seems to bear a suspicious resemblance to my wife. I believe the rogues were–"

"Annabelle!" The commander yelled out all of a sudden when he saw the woman’s face, causing me to frown.

Does he know her? Gosh, that would make things so much more complicated.

"You know the girl?" Marcellus asked, grabbing the body off Gamma Zane’s hands slowly and placing it on the ground in front of us.

I could see the way the commander’s eyes twitched with sadness even from this distance, and I watched that sadness slowly turn into rage as he glared at me.

"You! You monsters killed my daughter?!" He yelled out, causing my stomach to twist.

’Could this shit show get any worse?’

’You shouldn’t have said that.’ Damon blurted in my head just then, and almost instantly, I watched as the commander raised his gun and pointed it at me.

I kept my hands raised but my eyebrows slowly furrowed into a frown as I spoke calmly. "Sir, please remain calm and let us explain. We aren’t your enemy. The rogues are both our enemies right now and if we work together, we can–"

"Kill them all!" The commander yelled out to his soldiers and within a second, all hell broke loose.

Suddenly, the other soldiers began shooting erratically, causing my instincts to kick in as I yelled out to my men as well.

"Evade and defend as much as possible!"

With that, I locked my gaze on the commander as I began dodging the barrage of bullets that began raining upon us.

The air was filled with the deafening sound of bullets being fired, and my heart raced with adrenaline with each step I took to dodge and duck.

’Let me out and I’ll finish all of them off within ten seconds.’ Damon spoke up in my head but I merely grunted before I focused all my strength on my legs.

’No thanks, Damon. All I need is one.’ I said confidently, my gaze still fixed on the commander.

Without warning, I leaped into the air, whooshing like a missile until I landed right behind the commander with the grace of a bird.

Before he could react, I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him close to my body before smacking his gun away and wrapping my right arm around his neck, causing him to gasp in shock.

"Enough!" I yelled out with a domineering voice that boomed all around the battlefield, carrying my Alpha King aura.

The sound was able to overwhelm the sound of the bullets and caused all the soldiers to turn their attention to me.

They kept their guns pointed at me but I could see the fear in their eyes and in the way their body shook like little deers faced with a living natural disaster.
