The betrayal

THE RUTHLESS ALPHA
I walked into my training ground. I needed to do a little bit of training before going on this night's mission. We will be attacking the sunrise pack today, just like we did to the moon pack some nights ago, we will be doing the same to them. The training ground is located amid a deep forest, just a few distances away from the fire pack. A few of my guards were on stand-by. They were gathered across the forest not for security reasons though, cause I can take good care of myself but just to be on alert if there should be any invaders. Two were in the training ground with me. "Martins, take your position. You're training with me"
He bowed and walked closer to me. "Yes boss"
I position myself to get ready for attack. He also positioned himself as the fight began. The swords aggressively clashed with each other. Despite being good with the sword, I still admire Martins' skills. He is a trained fighter. He used to work with my dad before he died, as a secret agent. And after my parents' death, he had been my right-hand man. Though he taught me how to fight, he still accords me respect as his Alpha. "Alpha, Alpha" someone yelled
I dropped the sword to the floor and turned. My eyes were turning red already. How I hate to be disturbed amid training. "How many times have I warned you to not disturb my training!!" I yelled. My voice was coarse. I had used my Alpha tune on him.
He went down on his knees. "I... I... I'm sorry Alpha. We are under attack"
Under attack?. That can't be possible. I groaned. "Attack?"
"Yes, Alpha. Two of the guards in the east wing are down"
Someone has betrayed my trust. I hissed. "Who attacked?. Where did they come from?"
"They are warriors from the sunrise pack"
I batted my lashes. That can't be true. They don't know about our visit, yet. I groaned. "How many of them came?"
"Over a hundred warriors, Alpha"
Another warrior rushed in and I groaned. "Rex, what..."
"I'm sorry Alpha, we are under attack" Rex answered
I hissed. "How many warriors have you lost?"
"Two, boss. They.. "
"Four out of twenty warriors lost in a day?". I sighed. "And where are the rest?"
"I asked them to go into hiding while I bring the news to you". I nodded. "They also left this"
He handed over a scroll to me. I opened it and it reads:
They call you the ruthless alpha because they know not who you are. No one knows your real identity, and you intimidate others with that. I know who you are, I know your real identity. You're Alpha Nolan of the fire pack. you can't intimate me anymore"
I threw the scroll across the room. My anger took the best part of me. I shuddered with the wave of rage that swept over me. Someone has betrayed me. I blinked my eyes, which had already changed from its emerald green to light gold. "Which of you betrayed me?". They shuddered in fear. I skewered them with a steely look that had them taking a step backward. "Don't let me repeat myself. Which of you betrayed me?". They stared at each other in confusion. I had read through their minds and I find out they were innocent. I sighed. "We are leaving"

I walked into the warehouse angrily. The rest of the warriors were on standby. Martins moved closer to me and bowed. "We heard the news"
I ignored him. The rest bowed their heads while I walked past them to take my seat. I could see fears in their eyes. I tried to calm my nerves as much as I can. "Which of you betrayed me?". It was a straightforward question that needed a direct answer.
They bowed their heads not wanting to stare at me. I stood up and walked amidst them. They shivered at my sight. I sniffed the air, trying to sense their fear. My eyes caught sight of one of the men who was standing at the far end of the room. I walked closer to him and he froze. I hissed. I could sense great fear in him. I turned to leave but stopped. With a snarling fit for a threatened tiger, I lunged for him and caught him by the neck. He trembled. "I-i'm sorry. I-i"
"You dare betrayed me!!" I yelled
"I-i"
I grunted. "Matt, what were you offered?"
"I-i so sorry"
I hissed. "How much did they know about us?"
"J-just your identity and the locations of our hideout"
I punched his face angrily. "You're such a...".
He spits out blood. "I-i so sorry"
I brushed my hair backward. " Arden!!"
Arden walked closer to us and bowed. "Yes Alpha"
"You know what to do"
Arden gestured to two warriors and they jerked him off his feet. I watched them take him out of the warehouse as he kept screaming and begging but I turned deaf ears to him. There was no way I will listen to his plea. I turned to face the rest and I could see fear in their eyes. I sighed. "Now listen, all of you. If you dare betray me. I won't spare you". I stared at them. "Did you all understand?"
"Yes, Alpha"
I brushed my hair. "We won't attack today. You can all return home to your family"
"But sir..." Martins made to say something. I rolled my eyes
"No but. Go"
They returned home, leaving just me alone. I sat down to strategize another way to get back at sunrise pack. I won't be sparing them!!.
**
I was in my room all through the morning. I had to stay indoors to come up with a better plan. Since Matt had told out, secrets I needed to come up with a new plan. I couldn't go out until evening. I went to the warehouse to meet with the rest of the warriors, so I could tell them the new plans. When I got there, Arden was the only one there. "Welcome Boss"
I nodded and walked in. Papers and maps were liters around the warehouse. I picked up one of the papers and went through it. I smiled. "You've been trying a way out?"
"Yes, boss". He came closer and picked up a paper from the table. He stretched it to me and I took it. "I got a message from an insider. If we got through this place, we are going to have a better chance"
I rolled my eyes. "Do you trust your insider?"
He nodded. "Yeah. He's been giving me all the information"
I sighed. "I do have a plan to but we will go with yours"

The fight with the sunrise pack was a tough one. They were stronger and more prepared than the moon pack. And knowing a bit about us, gave them an upper hand. The clashing of swords could be heard. I stood afar, watching my warriors fight for victory. I was aiming for the alpha of the sunrise pack. After watching for a while, I find my way through the group of fighters, fighting my way warriors.
Getting to the alpha of the sunrise pack was more difficult than I thought. Though the packhouse was just a few distances away from me and I could see the alpha outside the packhouse with a few warriors, the road was guarded with so many skilled warriors. It took me a while to get through to them. I stood in front of him. He smiled"Good to see you, Alpha Nolan". I stared at him but said nothing. I could see fear in his eyes but he tries to hide it as much as he can. "As the dog finally cut off your tongue, Nolan?" He asked
I hissed and raised my sword. "I'm not here to batter words with you. Pull out your sword let's fight"
His guards rushed towards me. "Your boys will be fighting for you?. That's so weak of an alpha"
He scoffed and gestured for them to go back. "I will fight you myself"
I rushed towards him and we began to fight. After a while of a great fight. I was able to conquer him. I lost more warriors than I had lost in the last few months. After speaking with the rest of the pack members, I sent my warriors home to have a great time with their families, as we will not be going for any battle for a while.
