C2 Two

A blond haired tall man walks to his door, having finished off Luke's guards, a long sword in his hand. Roy looks to the side again, a big grin on his mouth as he pushes the door open.

Henrietta stops walking the instant she got to the second hall that lead to her room. She listened and heard her maid pull out a sharp knife from her robe. She spun around, a bit quicker than her maid, before she could stab her with it, slitting her throat first with the knife she always kept strapped under her forearm. The maid's body falls on the floor, just in time for more men to emerge from behind the dark chamber walls. Men she couldn't recognize. Men who were out to kill her tonight. She knew something was wrong when she saw her brother parched up at the window.

Shane knew about this but he never told her. She'd sensed how tensed he was yet he never told her about it. Why didn't he? Anger fueled her up and she screamed, rushing towards one of the men to stab him multiple times on the neck and taking his sword from his hands before letting him slip to the floor. She continued to fight them, the thought of Shane running through her mind.

What had started as a mere fight had turned into a blood bath as the time went by and more men seemed to come out from nowhere.

While she fought, she wondered who had planned this betrayal. Who had planned for the assassination of the Alpha.

She fought them as fast as she could, eyes mostly trained on the hall leading to her brothers chamber. She had to be there. The thought causes her to scream louder as she cut through the men.

Shane stood at the end of his bed, watching his Beta walk towards him, a sword in his right hand, blood stains on his clothes. He had a sadistic grin on his lips. Shane watched him, perplexed, a poker look on his face all the same. He had seen this coming.

" Alpha " Roy called menacingly , taking slow, calculated steps towards him.

" I always knew you'd overthrow me one day," Shane spoke " I just never thought you'd do that tonight "

" I don't think I surprised you "

" I'm not insinuating that you did "

" I'm not here to talk with you, Shane "

" You're here to take over Carlisle castle, the throne. But you'll never take over the blood Moon Park "

" You're just all talks, Roy. You were never worthy of this throne! You were never worthy of ruling this park! "

" And you are? " Shane made sure to remain as calm as possible.

A part of him was surprised Roy would ever do this, would ever betray him this way but a bigger part of him knew all along. This was who he was.

" You're bad blood, Shane. You don't deserve to be leader. You're only gonna lead us to our doom "

" You don't know what I do for this pack, Roy! ' Shane was starting to lose his cool.

" I know everything, Shane! I'm your Beta! I know every fucking thing! But you're so pathetic, you don't even know what's wrong from right "

" You think you can run this pack better than I do "

" I think the council are all in support of that " Roy replied with his chin held up high.

" Since you got the vote already, why did you go this extra mile? Still need me out of the way first? "

Instead of replying, Roy points his sword at Shane, aiming for his chest.

Shane watches the tip of the sword pointed to his heart, looked back at Roy's face and said " you're a coward, Roy. You've always been. This isn't how to fight, this isn't how to win "

" Maybe it isn't, " he crooked a smile at the corner of his lips " but I don't wanna die. That's the whole point of taking this park anyways "

Shane tried to aim for his sword that hung on the wall next to his bed but Roy caught him, swinging his sword towards him till Shane moved away from the sword, dodging his swing.

" I want you to remember my face while I kill you Shane, " Roy said " because that's what you truly deserve "

" You are. . . . . ."

Roy swings his sword again, striking Shane on the side of his stomach. he strikes again and Shane dodged, awarding him with a blow to his jaw and knocking him on the wrist but he doesn't drop his sword. Instead, he stumbles back, touched his now bleeding mouth and looked back at Shane.

Shane reaches for his sword and took a stance.

Roy smiles in amusement " I knew it wasn't gonna be easy getting rid of you " he said amidst laughter.

" You bet it isn't "

Roy launches for him, their swords clashing.

Shane looked at his Beta's eyes, saw the hatred in them, saw how he wanted to get this over with.

He pushes him back, knocking his sword out of his hand. But he knew this was it. Even if he did knock his sword from his hand, there was no saving his city, his dignity, his throne. He already lost.

Shane felt the sharp pain that erupted through his stomach as Roy put the sword through him, breaking his capsules and causing him to choke on blood.

He had lost.

At that moment, he suddenly realized so many things. Suddenly realized he was never prepared for this. Never prepared to be king, to make decisions. He couldn't even make one to save his life and he calls himself an Alpha?

He felt the blade driving out of him and he stumbled back, supporting himself with the wall. But when he saw Roy aiming at him again with a purposeful scream, he knew he had to live. He knew he had to save himself. He knew he had to defend himself. He knew he wanted to leave, wanted to put him in his place, wanted to make him pay.

He had never wanted something so much before but the pain was excruciating enough to knock him out and he tried to keep his eyes open as he saw his blade closing in on him.
