The Alpha's Return

Blood was splattered all over the room. It was as if someone was planning to paint the whole room red, but lazed around at some parts, and only a few parts were not red. Even they had slight flecks of red on them.

Beneath the east wall, there was a man lying on the ground. To call him a man was an overstatement. It was better to call him an upper torso. He did not have legs, arms and clearly, nothing in between the legs.

The man did not even have any power to scream. Who else could this be but Peter? Peter was barely gasping for air. Blood gashed from his wounds, which were practically all over his body. To see a human in this pathetic situation might cause anyone to rage, but every one else in the room was perfectly calm.

The council members were not even watching and were talking amongst themselves. Lucas was right in front of Peter. He was watching Peter with wide open, red, and unblinking eyes.

"Kill me.", Peter said with a hoarse voice. All that shouting and screaming took all the energy from him, and all the wounds were no longer healing. Even a werewolf had his limits, and this much blood could not be regenerated.

Peter's body was visibly thinner than before, and that was saying something, considering that he was already half dead when Lucas got started with him.

"What do you mean? Didn't you want to live so much? Why are you begging me to kill you when I listened to what you said before? I am letting you live for so much longer.", Lucas said with a cold voice.

"They wouldn't want this. They would have forgiven me after all that I have been through.", Peter said weakly.

"They? First of all, they are not here to decide. They are dead. Who killed them? You did. So shut up. And second, who told you that all of this is just for them? This is for me as well. You tried to kill me as well and almost succeeded. I mean, I almost died if it weren't for Michael. How are you going to make up for that? I am not the forgiving type. I am the type of guy who is willing to hound through all the world just to get my revenge.", Lucas said.

"Then kill me. That's what you want right? You took my body from me. You made me regret even staying alive. I can't even die because my stupid body won't let me die from biting my tongue off.", Peter wailed.

"Well, you were a werewolf. I mean, you could have made a name for yourself. You weren't supposed to go to sports, but you could be like Angela here, and do something with your life. But no, you wanted something that wasn't yours, and you did something that wasn't meant to be done. These are the consequences that you shall face.", Lucas said.

"Please. No. Just kill me. I will go to hell and repent there. That is probably better than what I will face here.", Peter started wailing and sobbing.

"He has a point, Lucas. He will go to hell. What you are doing here is for yourself. I am sure that by now, that anger within you has subsided. So then, why not just end this man's suffering in this world? Let him suffer in the next.", Praneeth suddenly spoke from a few meters away.

"I am not satisfied yet. This is what I came for. This is the main course.", Lucas said, his voice also hoarse now.

"That was when we arrived. But after that, we became privy to a lot of things that we weren't aware of before. And now our priorities have to change.", Praneeth said.

"Fine. I will kill him. Give me half an hour.", Lucas said.

"Half an- Fine.", Praneeth said as he turned around. He did not want to argue about this any further.

Lucas turned around and looked at Peter. He was not even strong enough to get himself up, and did not have the limbs to as well.

Lucas sighed as he sat down next to Peter.

"Peter. Did you know why I took you in? A lot of people have suggested, never trust a teenager with newfound powers. He will start getting arrogant, and will never be disciplined. All of that, and when I saw you on the street, a newly turned werewolf, just struggling to come in terms of his identity, I felt pity. I knew that it would be hard for you to fit in. So I took you in. I clothed you, fed you, put a roof over you, gave you a new family.", Lucas stopped for a moment.

"I gave you MY family. This was all that I had, stopping me from going mad. This was all I had that stopped me from losing control. When you came in, you fit in almost instantly. Everyone felt like you were the little brother in the whole family. You were spoilt, and you were given authority that you didn't deserve. I let that all slide, cause I didn't give two shits about who was the right hand. You were all my hands. You were all a part of me. But then, you went and did this. You tried and killed me. That's was within reason. You got greedy. But you killed those that you shouldn't have touched.", Lucas said.

"I regret it.", Peter said.

"And what will regret get you? Are they back? Where are they? They are up there, taken away from me, and all because of you. You might even be the cause of half of new york dying.", Lucas chuckled.

He closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them, his glowing red eyes did not glow red anymore. They were a noble blue. He looked much nobler, and calmer now.
