#Chapter 5

"We raised you better than this", Mirabel continued.

"Esmeralda is the perfect Luna both for you and this park, even better than that no good Eudora you are always seen around with", Mirabel cried.

She crouched down to her son and cupped his face.

"Son, please…", she pleaded, still trying to speak more, when Dave yelled at her.

"Enough!!!, It's enough mum. Esmeralda isn't my mate, and she will never be. I have already made that very clear tonight", he declared.

Dave turned to look at me with the same lifeless eyes.

"I am Alpha now, and I don't need anyone fucking disobeying my order", he said in a low warning voice as he glared at his father.

. When his eyes locked back onto me, the same evil smile spread onto his lips.

"This is my pack now, and my pack means my rules", he taunted.

"I just had a great idea. Esmeralda, your time with the Wheatstone pack is over", he said.

My eyes widened in shock and surprise. I never would have thought that such a small matter would turn to a huge mess.

"what does that mean?", I asked fearfully.

" What it means is that, you are henceforth banned from this pack”, he shouted.

Screams and murmurings filled the entire room.

"You can't do that. Esme hasn't done anything wrong to you", my mother cried out.

This time, Alaric wasn't sad, but angry and itching to take over my body.

"I don't care that you rejected me, but you can't make me leave this park", I said as the tears in my eyes were already beginning to blur my vision.

"My whole life is here. I gave everything to this pack, and trained for years to protect this pack. And do I remind you that i am a high-ranking warrior of this park", I chocked.

" Meanwhile, my family is also here, so where do you want me to go to?", I asked.

"Ohh please, you are just a little bitch", Dave scoffed.

"You weren't a real warrior, and will never be one", he said arrogantly.

Rage filled my every being, and every ounce of self control I had in order not to phase into my wolf form vanished.

"In that case, I will show you a real warrior", I snarled taking a step towards him.

"Do not test me, runt", he barked at me.

"You will never be strong enough to go against me", he sneered.

And without a second thought, I lunged towards him phasing into my wolf form.

Dave fell to the ground, my paws on his chest, claws digging and ripping through his shirt. Digging my claws into his arms, a chunk of flesh and blood pooled from the wound, which made him to let out a gut wrenching scream while his eyes turned black as coal.

Dave suddenly grabbed my fur roughly with his unhurt arm, causing me to loose balance, and slammed me to the floor next to him. He then kicked me in my stomach, and the force from the kick sent me flying back, hitting the wall behind me so hard that it left a giant hole on the wall.

Father tried to interfere, but then Dave yelled.

"Everyone stay the fuck back", he demanded using an alpha tone, causing everyone to freeze where they all stood, while their animal nature was forcing them to disrespect the alpha.

"Dave stop this", his mother demanded.

But Dave was completely adamant to his mother’s words, in fact nothing could stop him at that moment.

"I am going to fucking kill you, he said.

His eyes were completely black, clothes tattered, fur sprouting around his body.

The wound I had inflicted on him already started healing. I could barely stand, the pain in my front paw made it unbearable for me to move.

Dave walked closer to me, bones breaking as he shifted. His wolf was more bigger than mine, but I wasn't going to back down so easily. I used all my strength in my hands and legs and lunged at him.

We began fighting, clawing, biting, nipping and clawing at each other. Dave finally took my right front paw into his large mouth, sinking his long sharp canines into it. The pain was so severe that I involuntarily changed back to my human form.

My hand was bleeding profusely, with a giant tooth mark on it. My wolf had gone silent. I couldn't feel any connections between the both of us, and as every moment passed, I grew more anxious and scared.

As I shifted back to human, he let me go and shifted back himself. Dave watched me roll around in pain.

"I am going to spare killing you, for killing you is not worth my time", he said.

Seeing me in pain seemed to please him, because through the black dots in my vision, I could see his evil eyes and cold eyes staring down on me.

My right bone had already incredibly swollen up with red and purple bruises scattered all over my wrist, definitely broken. The bite marks were gushing dark red blood, and I could see my white bones. I felt someone kneel beside me,

"Are you alright?", She asked.

I shook my head slowly,

"my hand is hurting", I sobbed.

But I wasn't sure she could hear me from all the commotions taking place there.

I had no idea who it was, as my vision was blurred from tears, and my ears were buzzed so loud I thought my eardrums had burst.

"It's alright, I am going to help you", the voice said.

I finally recognized it was Mirabel's voice. Just then, I felt a soft cotton touch my naked body.

" Don't worry dear, I’m going to help you put this on", Mirabel said.

I blinked the tears in my eyes, letting them flow freely down my cheeks. She held my wrist gently as I slipped on the shirt. It fell to my thighs, hanging loosely off my body.

Father furiously went over the mad alpha fuming with anger, while mother stood behind him.

Both my parents wanted to make Dave regret his actions, but they were under tight grip by some of the pack members.

"Esmeralda honey, let me see your hand", Mirabel said as she grabbed my right hand gently,

Yet I was still in severe pain that it made me wince. She wrapped it tightly with some cloth.

"Your wrist is shattered, we need to get you a…",

she couldn't finish her statement when Dave let out a loud shout.

"All of you are banished, all of you, so get off my pack this minute", Dave yelled at my parents, why Nathan held him back.
