Alpha On The Hunt Chapter 34 âSo theyâre watching?â I ask him.
âNope, my hacker just locked them out, do what you need to do while I work out who Osirisâs puppet is.â
âWell, you want to work on the two council court officials standing in front of me; theyâre refusing to let me leave! Elena needs me. Get them to stand down!â
âIâm working on it. Elena sent in the appeal earlier tonight, but someone else rejected it before I could get my hands on it. It appears to have come from higher up; I am looking into it.â
âWho?â
âThatâs what Iâm trying to find out. Someone is pulling on strings within the council. Iâve been temporarily locked out of the database. Once I know who, I will sort it out. Until then, I am working with what I got to cover your damn ass,â Marco tells me, and I grit my teeth, glaring at Osiris over my shoulder.
âAnd if I breach?â
âTheyâll shoot you, but we both know thatâs not enough to stop Khan. Let them; get to your mate, and I will handle the consequences.â Marco tells me. I turn my gaze to officersâ dart guns and growl.
âAre your men on their way to help? Order your pack to get to her if you canât get through.â Marco says, and I can hear him running through security checks at the council, the buzzers going off, and him yelling orders at the guards to let him through as he identifies himself with his council ID numbers.
âThey can try to stop me, but they wonât stop Khan,â I tell him.
âAre you really foolish enough to risk the fines, the immobilization of your pack over a family gathering?â Osiris asks.
âI will handle the damage control and find out whoâs in Osirisâs pocket! I can get you off on compassionate grounds. This is a family matter! Do what you gotta do!â Marco tells me, hanging up.
âYou and I both know Derrick has not gone to her pack for a fucking friendly chat Osiris. Call them off, or you can deal with the consequences,â I snarl at him.
âAnd what consequences would they be?â he asks, sauntering over, and Khan presses forward. âMe!â
Khan snarls at him, and Osiris stops.
âAre you challenging me, Alpha?â Osiris laughs.
âNo, because you arenât a fucking challenge. That would imply you actually have the ability to stand against me!â I tell him.
âYou think you can take on?â he looks over his shoulder at his men, and I smirk when I see them back up quickly as my warriors come from all directions, their wolves filling the street.
I glance back at the two council members behind me who are playing witness for Osiris.
âAre you sure you donât have somewhere else to be?â I ask them, and they glance at each nervously.
âMarco canât wait to find out who sent you here!â I tell them.
âOsiris said there will be a breach. We are merely observers!â one of them tells me. I cock my head to the side.
âNo, you are in my way, stopping me from getting to my mate and sons!â I snarl at them. They glance at each other.
âWe are observers,â he repeats.
âThen observe this!â I snarl, handing the reins to Khan, who instantly shifts and turns back to Osiris. He growls, his suit tearing as he shifts, the fabric falling to the ground in tatters.
Khan snaps his jaws and charges at him at the same time my men charge at his, and the street quickly becomes a bloodbath as Khan starts tearing through them. The streets are coated in blood; Alpha Thomas fled the moment the fight broke out, and so did his men, leaving Osiris to deal with the backlash like the coward he is.
Khan is covered in wolfsbane darts, and he turns his head, grabbing the one in his rump with his teeth, ripping it out as the poison burns through his system, making him stagger. Heâs been pelted with darts, but adrenaline has him still standing for now. Just as the last of Osirisâs officers are taken out by Eli.
The gun smacked the ground.
Osiris seeing his pack stands no chance, and he growls. Seven of his men are now dead. One of mine has been lost; blood covers the roads and spills down the drains. Khan is drenched in blood, fur, and chunks of flesh torn off him, and Osiris is barely standing when I feel Elenaâs pain ripple through us.
Khan tenses and growls furiously. Stalking toward the Alpha, who shakes out his fur, spraying blood everywhere, Osirisâs wolf snaps its jaws and whimpers as its jaw clicks, and one ear is torn up badly. Yet his wolf is weakening, and he is no match against Khan. Osiris shifts back, his form crouched on the ground before Khan. He growls, eyes narrowing as he bares his teeth at us.
He glances at his fallen men before he grits his teeth. âStand down!â he orders his men.
Khan shifts back, and I start prying darts from my flesh. âLittle advice Osiris. Thomas always runs at the first sign of trouble.â I laugh, and he gets to his feet; the moment he does, a dart flies past my shoulder, the feather grazing it.
Osiris grunts, and I look over my shoulder to see Eli with one of the court enforcersâ guns in his hands.
The dart hits Osiris in the center of the chest, and he gasps, ripping it out but not before the blue liquid in the vial is expelled. He growls and staggers. Eli picks up another gun and pulls the dart from it, tossing it to me. I catch it and wander over to Osiris, who is as pale as a ghost.
He sways, and I grab him. âYou need to build a tolerance, Osiris, as I have. Next time, do your research. Had you done this, you would know better than to come after me with pathetic wolfsbane darts. Wolfsbane has little effect on me. Maybe next time youâll remember that before picking a fight, you canât win!â I snarl, jamming the dart into his side.
