As the sun began to rise, Sam and Rex were already making their way into Cain's pack. And as Sam noticed, Rex had an extra spring in his step. And it was no mystery why, for it had been only a few hours ago when the alpha shared with Sam that he was the father of his puphood friend, Humphrey. They both had the same colored fur and same colored eyes. And it shocked the Omega that he hadn't figured it out earlier.
And Sam was all-too happy to reveal that Rex's long-thought dead son was still alive.
Now, as the two wolves made their way toward the pack, up in Cain's den, Terra was looking out at the den entrance. From there she could see that the dark night sky was beginning to turn into early morning. Terra closed her eyes and began to remember the times she sat watching the sun rise with Sam. It was one of her most romantic memories, other then the one where she and Sam had mated for the first time. And like every time she thought of that first time, she shuddered at the thought of her mate's dominating nature.
Unfortunately, her moment was ruined when Cain entered the den with a dark smile on his face.
"Terra, I think you know what is about to happen when the sun comes up," he said, his voice almost sympathetic, but that was just him being evil. Terra backed up against the wall at the far end of the den, tucking her tail between her her legs.
"I will die before you can have your sick fun with me!" she firmly stated, but Cain was not paying attention to her words, he was fantasizing about fucking her in front of all his omegas. Then they would see that he was in charge of everything.
"I think you should get some rest before the sun hits the den, Terra, because..." he sighed lustfully. "...That is when you will be taken to the Omega dens, where we will mate... and I will not be gentle if you try and resist me."
With his warning made clear, Cain left her alone. Outside he turned to Cody and another Alpha named Killer who where busy watching an Omega female being forced to paw herself, tears running down her face as the two males watched, or rather Killer, for Cody discretely looked away from the female to avoid suspicion.
"Attention you two," Cain barked, causing them to jump, but giving the female a chance to run back tot he Omega den.
"I want you two keep an eye on Terra. Make sure she doesn't leave. I have a feeling that her mate, Samuel will be back." Cain turned and began to walk away, but stopped and glanced back at Killer and Cody. "Is that understood?" he asked, growling at them.
Killer and Cody nodded.
"Yes, sir!" they shouted in unison.
"Good, I'll be back when the sun hits the den."
Up on the hill that over looked Cain's pack, one of his many guards was minding his business when all of a sudden, someone grabbed him from behind and sank his teeth into his neck. With one good twist of the attackers teeth, the lone guard's neck was snapped and his life ended.
"Clean kill, Rex," Sam nodded, clearly impressed with the Alpha's stealth kill.
Rex nodded, then rushed forward with his omega friend. As the two of them made their way deeper into enemy territory, Rex suddenly came to a complete stop. His ears perked up as he watched the thick brush for movement. Had he seen something? Sam began to scan the area, then, they heard it. Something was moving in the brush.
Sam began to creep toward the brush, got ready to pounce, but then a little raccoon came walking out and up to the Omega. It looked at him and smiled, then went on its way. Rex and Sam breathed a sigh of relief. But, if they were being honest with themselves, all this sneaking around was raising their blood pressure by the second.
Back in Cain's den, Terra watched as the sun was almost up. Her time was running out, Cody had to act fast if she was to escape with the Omegas. Terra wanted to be back with Sam, to hug him, to kiss him, hell, she would settle to have him breed her.
All worries came crashing down on her when one of Cain's loyal alphas walked into the den.
"It's time!" he growled. Upon hearing this, Terra began to cry again as she walked past him and out into the open. The sun warmed her body which felt cold now. If Cain had his way with her, then she might as well throw herself off the top of the tallest mountain and end it all.
"Hey! Who the he-" the alpha shouted, but was quickly killed by Rex. Terra turned and was shocked to see Rex drop the dead alpha, but she was overjoyed when Sam walked up to her.
"Terra, thank God you are safe!" he said, embracing his wife. Terra and Sam shared a quick kiss before heading off to the where the Omegas were hiding.
But when they reached the hiding spot, Terra saw the omegas trying to hold back tears. She already knew what had happened while she had been away.
"Is Daniel…?" she began, but Elise ran up to her and began sobbing into her chest.
"He passed away last night, just after you left," Cody sadly stated looking at his son's lifeless body. "But we can't stay any longer, we must move." He said forcing himself to be brave for his son.
Terra nodded and handed Elise off to her father. Cody looked at his daughter and whispered something in her ear. What ever he said, had lifted the spirit of his broken daughter. Elise wiped the tears from her eyes and followed the omegas to safety.
But…
The evil dark wolf sat atop the tallest hill, which gave him a good vantage point to see what Rex and the others were doing.
"So, they think they can just walk out of this pack, do they?" Cain asked himself aloud. His Alpha's gathered around him. Turing to Killer, he gave the order. "Attack! Take them them all and bring me Terra!"
"It will be done," Killer replied. He took in a deep breath and howled. Then all of the Alphas began to rush upon the fleeing omegas.
Sam had heard the howl before he could see the advancing alphas. It sounded close. One word came to his mind.
"RUN!" he shouted.
The Omegas, Rex and Terra began sprinting toward the hills. They must have figured that they could out run Cain and his Alphas once out in the open, but it was a long shot.
Meanwhile, King paced back and forth in Rex's den. Anna sat with her tail tucked between her legs. Neither knew what was taking Rex and the others so long, but their answer came quicker then they could have asked for.
Little Elise came running into the den, panting hard from running so much.
"Cain has them!" she cried, only to collapse as she passed out from exhaustion. King knew he was now the only one who could save everyone from the dark wolf. Looking at Anna, he gave her the "Stay here" look.
"I love you Grandpa," Anna said to King as he left her with Elise, but not before placing a tender kiss atop Anna's head.
"I Love You Too Sweetie."
Then...He was gone.
Cain sat on a rock and smiled at his easy victory. His Alphas had successfully captured all of the omegas, except for one little pup. It didn't matter. Here he was, standing on the brink of taking everything from Samuel. Turning to Killer and another Alpha, Cain gave them the signal. A minute later, Sam was thrown out into the open and pinned to the ground by Killer.
Cain spoke loud, as to strike fear into all who heard him.
"Samuel, I offered you a chance to save your life, but you fucked that one up," He said and looked over at Rex and Cody. "You two have been a thorn in my side for far too long. You have only yourselves to blame for Daniel's death." Then, Cain turned his attention to Terra. "You can save them all," he said.
Terra looked up at the dark wolf, knowing full well what the price to pay was—her body. She looked at her mate, who could only imagine what Cain was planing to do to her. Sam began to struggle against Killer, but the Alpha gave him a warning by growling. So he stopped fighting. Terra sadly knew that time for resisting Cain was over. So, the beautiful alpha turned and lifted her tail for everyone to see.
However, as Cain took a step forward, another Alpha moved toward Terra, a lustful grin on his face.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Cain snarled at the wolf, the rust-colored wolf turning to cast a devious smirk at the dark menace.
"Showing this slut what a REAL leader looks like," he mockingly responded, only to be tackled to the ground by Cain in an instant.
"No," the Alpha whimpered when he saw the murderous intent in Cain's eyes, "NOOO-HRRRK!"
In another instant, the sound of the wolf choking on his own blood filled the area, making the Omega's whimper in fear, especially the pups, some being comforted by Delilah, who were in full view of the slaughter. Once he was certain that the Alpha in his jaws was dead, Cain released him before standing to his full height, spitting on the body of the dead wolf. Immediately after, Cain cast his gaze over to Terra, who once again cowered in fear at the dark wolf's lustful smile, which was now dripping with blood.
"Are you going to obey me, Terra?" Cain asked as he quickly mounted Terra.
"Yes! I submit to you Cain!" she screamed. "Now just take me and let them all go!"
But Cain shook his head.
"I lied," he whispered in her ear, then looked at Killer. "Kill him!" he ordered as the Omegas gasped and the Alphas cheered.
"No! I am submitting to you! Spare Sam, PLEASE!" Terra begged as Cain began to force himself inside of her.
As this happened, Killer began clawing Sam, but before he could deal serious damage, King came sprinting to the rescue of his son-in-law and knocked Killer off of him.
Cain was shocked beyond words; King had survived the avalanche. He quickly dismounted from Terra and took a step forward to get a better look. It was indeed King.
"Murderer!" King growled as he walked toward the dark wolf.
"Murderer? I'm shocked that you would say that about me," Cain said acting like his feelings had been hurt. "How much blood do you have on your paws King?" he asked, his words as sharp as a two edged sword.
"A lot, Cain," King replied. "But unlike you, I wanted to change for the better. I did it for my family and for myself."
"You are weak," Cain said, then boasted "And I am strong!"
In the corner of King's eye, he saw some of the Alphas who were loyal to Rex start moving into attack position, and when they were in their spots, King shouted…
"FIGHT FOR FREEDOM!"
Cain spun around as his Alphas were attack on their flanks, he didn't understand this. Why was this happening?
As Killer bit down on Sam's front left leg, Cody came up behind him. Before he could attack Killer, Cain jumped on his back and began biting and clawing at his neck.
Cody fought back with all his strength, but the dark wolf was way to strong. "Death to all who betray me!" Cain shouted, biting down on Cody's neck, this time tearing a good bit of flesh off. Within minutes, the younger brother fell backwards, gagging and coughing up blood! He wasn't going to make it.
As Terra fought against another alpha, she was knocked over by a powerful front tackle by Cain. She looked up to see Cain standing over her, ready to sink his teeth into her, but just as he was about to strike, someone knocked him off of her. Terra smiled to see that it was her father who saved her.
Cain quickly rolled back onto his feet and ran off up the side hill. Despite this, King never let him out of his sight, he kept on running after him until they both were at the top of the tallest hill. It was time to settle the score once and for all.
"Remember what you said to me?" King shouted to a now trapped Cain. "When the time is right, we will fight!" With that, he began to advance toward the dark wolf.
"Wait!" he begged, when King got ready to pounce. "I will do anything, just let me go!"
King didn't believe him. "You don't deserve to live, Cain for what you did," he snarled, but he felt someone place a soft paw on his shoulder. Standing beside him was the spirit of Able.
Cain's jaw dropped.
"I killed you," he gasped, his voice almost completely mute.
"Let him go," Able calmly told King, but with an angry frown on his face. "He has been beaten, there is nothing more he can do."
"Yes, listen to him," Cain said taking his brother's side. But King wanted nothing more then to see Cain die.
"He tried to force Terra to be his mate, tried to kill me, he killed you, oppressed the Omegas and was going to lead his army to concur the known territories," he said, trying to justify his reason to kill Cain. But what Able said next helped King see the light.
"You said you changed for the better, now show me that you have changed."
King looked down for a minute, and after a few moments, he realzied Able was right, so he slowly walked over to Cain who was laying down in fear.
"Cain, I'm going to let you live," he said, getting the evil Alpha's attention. A warm wind began to blow in from the south as both Alphas kept eye contact. King looked deeper into Cain's eyes to see if he was really afraid.
He was.
"I want you to know how grateful I am to hear that," Cain said. "I will do what you tell me. Name it, anything and it will be done."
King smiled, but smiled darkly, giving Cain a good look at his teeth.
"Run," was all he said. Cain cocked his head at what he heard, so King made it very clear this time.
"Run away and never return."
At that moment, Cain's fear then turned into anger, and it was very clear to King that he was not going to listen.
"Damn you to hell!" he shouted. In an instant King felt Cain's claws make contact with his left cheek. King stumbled backwards in pain as the dark wolf tried to sink his teeth into his throat. But King quickly moved back, avoiding Cain's attack.
"You can't win, Cain!" King shouted, his chest heaving.
"This is my pack," Cain growled, his own breath heavy.
"MY DESTINY!"
Letting out a fierce snarl, he charged at King. But the good Alpha jumped over him, and the two began to circle around one another, each trying to find an opening.
And at the same time, they charged into each other.
King and Cain fought like demons. Biting and clawing. It was no longer a fight, but a full out brawl. Each wolf had his own reason for this fight. King fought for his family and redemption. Cain on the other hand fought only for himself.
Finally, Cain pinned King down, his claws pressing into the side of his neck.
"Any last words?" Cain asked. King smiled.
"You have a train to catch," he replied. Cain didn't know he meant until King used all his strength to kick him off the edge of the hill. Cain tumbled all the way down until he landed on the train tracks. After taking a moment to recover from the hard landing, the evil Alpha's ears picked up the sound of wheels thundering along the tracks, followed by the shrill shriek of a whistle. And with that, he looked up just in time to see the train coming at full speed.
"Oh, fuck me."
Then… Cain was gone.
With a look of satisfaction, King turned and made his way back down the hill. As he did so, thunder began to rumble in the sky as dark rain clouds formed. In his heart he was glad he had given Cain a chance to live, but the dark wolf had chosen to gamble with his life.
In the end...he lost...
and King had won.
Now all he had to do was help the pack find a new leader, after he dealt with the Alphas who were still loyal to Cain.
