A/N – Usual disclaimers apply, I do not own anything and if I did then M7 and Sentinel would still be going.
Found writing this past week a trial think was because real life was manic, so apologies if not very good, am hoping now that things settle down. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
Sentinel Legend.
Director Royal stood silent at the back of the sentinels and guides, he kept still and calm as they all seemed to turn as one and stare accusingly at him.
Josiah strode to stand over the shorter man, Director Royal felt slightly worried but he tried not to show it, he had worked with Sentinels and Guides most of his adult life and he was not about to be intimidated by this dumb fool.
Josiah's lip curled back he snarled angrily at the man who acted like he had done nothing wrong.
"I simply asked Doctor Quince to test Sentinel Larabee." Royal projected anger at the blonds treatment. "I was not aware that the man would use such methods."
"Liar." Chris quiet voice carried to the man. "You knew exactly what he was doing."
"Do I look or sound like I'm lying sentinel." Royal had lied to sentinels before and he was confident his bodies responses where under control and that he could lie to this man.
Chris eyes seemed to glow with an unholy light as he glared at the smaller man, his lip curled back and he sneered at the man acting so innocent.
"Do you really believe that you can lie to me Royal?" Chris quirked an eyebrow at the man.
"I won't be questioned by you like this." Director Royal snapped.
"But I want answers too Director." Alpha James moved to stand by the still unclothed Larabee. "Now why would Quince treat a sentinel the way he did without your express permission?"
Royal's jaw dropped open as the Alpha joined Larabee in glaring at him, he could not believe the man was going against him. Royal returned the glare, he would not be intimidated by these animals.
Chris growled low and moved to loom over the other man, he sniffed and smiled.
"I can tell your lying and I will see you punished so that you can't do this to anyone else." Chris smiled confidently at the smaller man.
Royal struggled to keep calm as the man's green eyes seemed to see into his very soul. He could bluff his way out of this he was sure, maybe he needed a distraction.
"I am the Director of this area and I would never knowingly endanger a sentinel or guide." Guy Royal looked at the Denver Alpha. "Alpha James you have my support in punishing Quince anyway you seem fit to."
"No." Chris snarled he grabbed the smaller man and slammed the man into the wall.
The Denver Alpha was stunned by the speed and ferocity of the attack from the bloodied Larabee who pinned the Director against the wall, his feet a few inches off the floor. James went to move to get Larabee to release the Director, but the blond simply turned his head and pinned the Alpha with a glare that promised dire retribution, and James had to fight hard not to bare his throat to the other man. Shaking his head as if to clear it he simply stood and watched what happened next.
"Admit your guilt and I may let you walk out of here relatively unscathed." Chris voice dropped to a low growl. "Lie again and I will make you suffer in ways you cannot imagine."
Royal found himself unable to struggle against the stronger man, the sentinels green eyes look deep into Royals brown eyes.
"Well?" Chris waited for the man to give him an answer.
The Sentinels and Guides all stood silent and watching, waiting to see whether the Director would admit he was involved in the torture of the sentinel.
Buck, Josiah and Nathan stood grouped together, Buck was ready to defend Chris back if the Alpha attempted to interfere.
"Please." Royal whimpered as he felt the hand tighten at his throat, he looked down and nearly screamed as the huge silver wolf stood sniffing his groin area.
"I'm going to castrate you like the cur you are." Chris evilly smiled at the man, the smell of urine rose from where the man lost control of his bladder as the wolf's teeth showed as the animal growled.
"Please help me." Guy Royal whined, he began to beg for his life and manhood.
"Tell me the truth." Chris snarled.
"Oh God." Royal whined, his voice rising in distress. "I just wanted to have you test as high as possible I did nit know how he would do it."
Chris dropped the man who curled into a snivelling ball, the silver wolf continued to snarl and snap at the man on the floor.
"Please call him off." Royal whined as the sharp teeth snapped closed by his face.
"You're going to jail for this." Alpha James yelled, he was enraged by the man on the floor, his guide stroked a hand up and down his back, James suddenly realised that she was starring at the blond man, he picked up her emotions she was excited by the power the other sentinel was projecting and not put off by the fact that he was covered in blood
Chris scented the air he glared at the Alpha Guide who was looking at him like he was prime steak, Chris saw the Alpha Sentinel tense up, he could not help the snarl as the other man attempted to intimidate him with his height.
"Larabee you best get yourself seen by a doctor and cleaned up." Alpha James growled he tried to block out the lustful thoughts his guide was projecting. The Alpha had a jealous streak a mile wide and his guide knew it and she seemed to enjoy it when he was enraged and fought for her.
Chris held the other man's gaze, his lip curled as he felt the Alpha Guides lustful thoughts towards him. Buck Nathan and Josiah all felt it too as Chris could not keep his contempt for the female guide from his newly made pack.
"You best remember who is Alpha here Larabee, you don't have the Director protecting you now." Alpha James could feel his guide fuelling his aggression.
Nathan made to step forward and interfere as the naked blood covered blond was in no fit state to challenge the huge Alpha, but Buck held out his hand and gently grasped the compassionate guides arm. Josiah barely reacted to another sentinel touching his guide, he stroke Nathan's back and watched Larabee glare at the larger Alpha.
Alpha James could not believe that the blood covered blond was not backing down, the other man's green eyes stared into his and he could hear the low growls the other man was issuing.
"So you're challenging me?" James sneered he would crush the man like a bug, his guide was ramping up the Alpha's level of aggression, it was clean she wanted the men to fight. The smell of Alpha Guide Wickes arousal was clear to Chris, Buck and Josiah, and the blond was disgusted by her.
"Whore." Chris quietly spoke, the watching sentinel and guides gasped at the insult.
Alpha Guide Samantha Wickes looked startled that handsome sentinel had spoken the insult, she could see the disgust on the other three mens faces, and on a large majority of the watching sentinels and guides. She pressed against her bonded sentinel, she let her anger bleed through the link.
"I'm going to rip you apart Larabee and you'll submit to me after I do it." James advanced on the glaring blond.
"Give it your best shot." Chris smiled, he waited for the enraged man to throw the first punch. His mind was clear and his body ready to take down the larger man, he did not feel the hurt from his previous treatment, the Dark Sentinel within roared its approval as Chris struck the other man.
Alpha Stuart James had military training and excellent hand to hand skills, but he had hardly landed any significant blows on the leaner man. James realised he was going to lose this challenge, as Larabee was too strong, too quick and James blows when they landed seemed to have little effect.
Throwing a punch at the smaller man's head, he missed as Larabee ducked, the insane smile had not left the naked man's face. James panted as he took a punched to the jaw and a foot to the gut, he struggled to stay upright as blood poured from his broken nose.
The Dark Sentinel wanted to kill the other man, but Chris did not want to kill, he caught the other man in a choke hold and held on as the larger man struggled to break free, tightening the hold James struggles weakened.
"Do you submit?" Chris hoped that the other man realised he was beaten.
Alpha James had been too confident he could win and now he was paying the price, his body was bruised and battered and he realised that the other man could have killed him, but for some reason he had not.
"I submit." James head bowed, he felt the other man release him, looking up he saw the disappointment on his guides face.
Chris kept his hand on the beaten man's shoulder as James looked to his guide.
"Samantha." James held out his hand to the woman who had been at his side since he had become Alpha of the Denver pride.
Alpha Guide Samantha Wickes sashayed towards the winning sentinel, she smiled beguiling at him, she was a level eight guide and powerful, ignoring the beaten sentinel she batted her eyes at Larabee.
Former Alpha Stuart James felt ashamed by his guides behaviour his head bowed as he felt a wave of humiliation flow over him.
Chris tightened his hand on the silent man's shoulder.
James suddenly felt the hand on his shoulder as a sense of disgust filled him, he looked up as he understood that the negative feeling was coming off the man who had taken his position from him. Looking up he saw Samantha stop as the man behind him snarled at her.
"You are not fit to be a guide, you dare to flaunt yourself while your sentinel is injured." Chris voice was filled with anger.
"I am the strongest guide here and I believe that the strongest guide and sentinel should rule the pride together." Samantha new she was giving off bonding pheromones.
"Do you not care that your bonded is suffering?" Chris tilted his head, he rubbed the defeated man's shoulder.
James on his knees in front of Chris felt a strange sense of calm and peace, he expected to feel the results of every blow, but he was feeling no pain.
Samantha looked down at the defeated sentinel, she felt nothing but contempt for the man she had been bonded with, she was an Alpha and would accept nothing less. A bond could be broken and she was determined to have what she wanted and she wanted the most powerful sentinel in the room.
"Come here." Chris quietly commanded.
Samantha smiled in delight and moved closer to the handsome sentinel. She ran her perfectly manicure nail up his leanly muscled chest, raising her eyes she looked into the bright green eyes.
Chris hand went to the back of the guide's head he smiled, Samantha returned the man's smile with a giggle.
"You are a disgrace and I would never allow you into my pack." Chris tightened his hold on the woman, he blasted past her shields, breaking the bond she had shared with the downed sentinel.
The gathered sentinels and guides silence highlighted the crying guide as the Dark Sentinel stripped the bond from the former Alpha pair. The Dark Sentinel felt nothing but disgust for the female guide, he punished the woman by allowing her to experience the pain and anguish felt by Alpha James. The downed sentinel felt tear's escape his eyes as his bond was broken, his senses began to spiral out of control, but then he felt the other man shield him, allowing him to regain a modicum of control.
Chris released the woman who backed away from him, sobbing she turned to the man on his knees.
"Don't touch him." Chris snarled. "You are no longer his bonded guide."
Sentinel's and guide's gasped in shock, how had this man broken a bond without the help of drugs.
Chris looked at the gathered guides he smiled at a young man who timidly smiled back.
"Come here guide." Chris watched the younger man approach.
Sentinel James looked up, he watched a young guide approach, he wanted to get off his knees but he could not seem to move, the weight of the other man's hand seemed to hold him in place.
"Alpha Sentinel Larabee." The guide lowered his eyes submissively.
"You are unbonded?" Chris already knew the answer, he felt the sentinel lean heavily against him.
"Yes Alpha I have not found a compatible sentinel." The guide could not hide his sadness, he so wanted to be bonded to a sentinel it was like a part of his very soul was missing.
"Come closer guide." Chris held his hand out for the other man to take.
All eyes watched in fascinated as the young guide took hold of the green eyed sentinels hand. Chris gave a reassuring smile to the guide, to the watching sentinel's and guide' a serene expression seem to appear on both the sentinel and guide's faces.
Sentinel James was amazed he felt the presence of a guide in his mind, it was not Guide Wickes, he looked up in shock at the young man, who smiled down at him. Chris hand lifted from his shoulder, the young guide hand replaced it, the newly formed bond hummed.
"My Sentinel." The guide gently stroked the bloody features of the man he had just bonded with.
"My Guide." Sentinel James hugged the younger man to him as he got to his feet.
Chris wearily leaned against Buck who had moved closer to stand next to him.
"I have decided that Alpha James and Alpha Guide Ringo will lead and guide the Denver Pride in my place." Chris calmly announced, most of the pride members looked shocked at this announcement.
"But you are Alpha." Alpha James spoke stunned by the announcement.
"And I have made my decision." Chris felt exhausted and the drugs from Quince where still floating around in his system. It was making concentrating harder and harder, he leant more heavily on Buck. "Does anyone have a problem with my choice?"
Josiah would swear that Larabee's green eyes flashed with internal fire, the Sentinel looked awful, his body bloody and shivering in reaction to the drugs he had been given. But Josiah thought he looked magnificent and it seemed that none of the other pride sentinels dared challenge the powerful man.
"No Alpha." As one the pride roared its support.
"Take Royal and Quince to a secure room until the appropriate authorities can come and deal with them." Chris quietly ordered, the room swam out of focus, Chris was determined not to show weakness in front of anyone even members of the Denver pride.
Buck could feel the shudders rippling through Chris body, he knew the man was running on empty. He was glad when Alpha James and Ringo started shepherding people out of the room. Royal and Quince had been handcuffed by SGF security and escorted away.
Nathan and Josiah moved to close the doors so that Chris could have some privacy even though he could see a number of Foundation medical staff wanting to get their hands on the naked man.
"You ok there Big Dog?" Buck could hear Chris heavy breathing.
"Want to go home Buck." Chris felt his legs give out, he was not surprised to be caught by his big hearted friend.
"Lets have Nathan take a look at you." Buck picked Chris up, slightly shocked by how light his friend felt, he gently placed him on the table.
"No Buck." Chris struggled to get off the cold table he had previously been strapped to.
Buck, Josiah and Nathan all felt the horror and alarm from the wounded sentinel. Buck quickly lifted Chris off the table and looked around for somewhere else for him to lay. Cradled like a child Chris's eyes rolled back in his head as his body finally gave in to his exhaustion and pain.
"Nathan."
