The Alpha's Return

"What what are you going to do?", Peter stuttered.

"You tell me. Look at you now. You are in a much better state than you were before I arrived. You would have died if I was even ten minutes late. Yet here I am, showing you mercy. You are alive! You don\'t have that filthy poison within you.", Lucas said.

"I know what you want to do. You want to torture me, don\'t you. Well, you are not the only person who can control parts of his transformation. So can I.", Peter said as he suddenly stood up. The chain that was tying him up was broken as it fell onto the ground.

"You want a fight?", Lucas laughed.

"How powerful can you possibly be? You took thirty minutes to take care of those assholes from Rairel. You made a huge mistake healing me.", Peter said.

Lucas turned around and looked at the council members. Clearly, they looked very confused.

"Don\'t worry. Everything is alright!.", Lucas shouted towards them.

"Didn\'t you tell me? Step one. Do not underestimate the enemy. Do not show him your back.", Peter said as he jumped towards Lucas. His entire hand turned into a greyish brown as he swung claws at Lucas.

"Yeah. That is what I tell all of the weaklings. But when we face someone like a baby, we don\'t need to even look.", Lucas said as he moved to the side and held Peter\'s hand.

Peter looked at Lucas with fearful eyes. Lucas smiled as he tightened his grip on Peter\'s hands. Peter screamed.

His screams could be heard from the other end of the room. All of the council members winced when they heard Peter scream, but they did not even move.

"Who is possibly going to come and save you? Even the marquess wants you dead. The whole world wants you dead. No one wants you alive. You are a single lone wolf, left to fend for yourself. You are not even strong enough to do that. Do you know the sad part? If you had hidden the fact that you betrayed me, and stayed with the pack, then you would actually have been much, much better off.", Lucas said as he tightened the grip on Peter\'s hand even more.

Peter could not stop screaming, and tears started coming out of his eyes. All around the place that Lucas was holding his hand, the arm itself started turning a little blue.

Blast!

The hand itself came off. Peter screamed once more. This was at a much higher pitch, and a much louder voice.

Lucas punched Peter in the stomach, and he fell back and crashed against the wall.

"Oh my god! Such a cry baby! Why the hell is someone crying so much just because he lost his hand? You are still a sheltered baby, aren\'t you? Looks like you have to grow up now.", Lucas said as he walked towards Peter.

"Don\'t come closer. I am sorry, I am sorry! I shouldn\'t have betrayed you. I shouldn\'t have killed the rest of the pack.", Peter whimpered.

"You know, I wanted to just give you a painless death. I mean, I knew that you were blinded by greed, but you were just a pup. But what you did next was inexcusable. That is why you are still alive, and that is why you are going to stay alive for so much longer.", Lucas said, his voice booming.

Peter got up and started running. His legs became a blur as he rushed to the door. The council did not move an inch to stop him. Lucas looked back and his whole body just became an after shadow. The door slammed shut, and Peter was thrown back.

"How are you so fast?", Peter asked with shock.

"Let me just round off how powerful I am compared to you. I am much more intelligent. Clearly, because you did not even care to learn about me, even though I was your leader. Next, I am more powerful than you. I am faster than you. Much faster than you. I have more stamina than you. I am an alpha, so you have a disadvantage there. Overall, the only parameter that you can possibly defeat me is stupidity.", Lucas said.

Peter looked at Lucas with fear. He was now next to Praneeth. Peter looked at him, and grabbed Praneeth by the neck.

"I will kill him if you move. I am not joking.", Peter shouted desperately.

Lucas paused.

"I knew it. You care about all these people don\'t you?", Peter laughed maniacally.Â

"Do not kill him, Lucas. No matter how much of a crime he committed, he still has information that we do not. We can kill him after he runs out of usefulness.", Praneeth said calmly.

"You are in no position to say anything, you goddamn piece of shit. Shut up while the strong people talk.", Peter shouted, his spit spraying all over Praneeth\'s face.

"You stink.", Praneeth said.

"What did you just say?", Peter asked, his grip on Praneeth\'s neck growing tighter.

"Lucas. This is getting kind of boring.", Praneeth said.

Swish

Peter shouted. His left arm, with which he was holding Praneeth hostage, disappeared completely. Peter lost balance and fell flat on his face.

Praneeth calmly took a hand kerchief from his pocket and wiped his face. "That took you long enough. Anyway, hold him so that we can start asking him a few questions. We know pitifully less about this Marquess, and this is just an opportunity presenting itself.", Praneeth said.

"Do you think I care?", Lucas asked, coldly.

"I think you care alright, because this man is clearly not dead, even though you promised that he would be the moment that you laid eyes on him.", Praneeth chuckled.
