Ace’s POV

I watch from behind Azul’s eyes as he lunges for my father’s neck. Azul’s feelings mixed with my own have me on edge. I don’t want to fight my father, but Azul is out for b***d. He is ready to kill anyone that is associated with my mother.

My father sidesteps my attack and Azul knicks his shoulder with his teeth. Azul skids to a stop on the gravel in the driveway and spins around to glare at my father.

My father raises his hands in the air as Azul continues to circle him. “I don’t want to fight my son,” he says with desperation in his voice.

Azul growls and gnashes his teeth together at my father’s words. Azul doesn’t care that my father is begging me not to fight with him.

The sun is rising higher in the sky making it almost unbearably hot to be outside. Azul continues to circle around my father, waiting for an opening to attack, but my father is on guard.

‘Azul,’ I try to break through Azul’s anger but he isn’t listening to me. ‘My father is a trained fighter. We are perhaps playing a game that we cannot win.’

‘He aided in hurting our mate and our pups,’ Azul growls back at me. ‘We would be foolish to leave him alive.’

‘We cannot win this fight,’ I try to tell Azul but he has cut me off and pushed me into the back of our mind.

I am trapped within my mind, watching silently as my father shifts seamlessly into his large black wolf. If I could, I would scream for this to end but deep down I know this fight has been coming for a long time.

My wolf and my father’s wolf circle one another, our eyes locked in a fierce stare. I take in the massive wolf in front of me. I had forgotten how large his wolf is. His wolf is much larger than Azul. He has a thick, muscular build that speaks of years of experience in fighting. His black fur shimmers in the sunlight, and his eyes gleam with a cold, calculating intelligence.

I know that Azul is on the leaner side but he is more agile than my father’s bulky build could ever be. Azul’s teeth chomp together, hungering for the taste of my father’s b***d.

For a long moment, the two of us stand perfectly still, each one of us waiting for the other one to make the first move. I can feel Azul’s impatience growing and finally he lunges toward our father with his claws extended and his fangs bared.

My father is quicker than I expected. Dodging to the side and swiping at me with his razor-sharp claws. But I am too fast for him. I dart around my father’s attack and land a fierce blow to his side.

My father grunts in pain, but he doesn’t back down. He continues to dodge and weave, but I don’t miss the limp in his step and I know that he is fighting through the pain. Azul lunges forward and attacks again and again, but somehow my father’s wolf manages to evade or deflects the blows.

We fight for what feels like hours. Locked in a grueling battle. The two of us tore at one another tooth and claw and before long our bodies are slick with both sweat and b***d.

Azul refuses to give up. My father’s limp is beginning to become more apparent as he starts to tire. His movements are becoming slower and less fluid. With each hit that he lands, I can feel them losing their power. Azul on the other hand, seems to be growing stronger with each passing attack. Azul is landing each blow with a greater force.

It is only a matter of time before my father makes a fatal mistake. He leaves himself open for just a split second to take a breath. Azul takes the opportunity, lunging forward and he sinks his teeth deep into my father’s neck.

My father’s wolf howls in agony, his body writhing in pain as his b***d spills out on the ground. He tries to fight back, to push Azul away to escape. But it was too late. Azul has him firmly in his grasp, and he refuses to let go.

With a quick shake of his head, Azul snaps my father’s neck. My father’s body goes limp and still in Azul’s jaws. Azul stands over my father’s body which is now shifting back into his human form with a feeling of satisfaction.

Azul allows me to push back forward and I look down at my father through Azul’s eyes. As pleased as I am to see that my father is now out of the way, something stirs within me. A deep sense of loss and grief washes over me as I realize what I have done.

Azul relinquishes control to me and I shift back into my human form. I kneel down next to my father’s body and lay my hand on his shoulder. I have killed my father. The one man that taught me everything that I know about being an Alpha. My father loved, raised, and protected my brothers and me from the dangers of the world.

For a long time, I stand next to my father’s body and watch the b***d drain from his body.

‘We don’t have time to mourn,’ Azul growls in my head. ‘We need to find your mother.’

‘She is your mother too,’ I snap at Azul. ‘She hurt our mate and our pups.’

‘You’ve said that already,’ I roll my eyes at him as I step away from my father’s body.

I grab a pair of shorts from the back of my car and turn in the direction of the old farmhouse. I see a shadow standing in the doorway and I know that it is my mother. She takes a step out of the door but pauses when she sees me.

“Ace,” she cries from the doorway. “What have you done?”

“Me,” I gasp out in shock. “What have I done? What have you done?”

Taking several steps out of the doorway my mother looks at me with tears in her eyes. “You killed your father,” she cries loudly.

“And you are next,” I growl in her direction.

My mother steps backward quickly into the old farmhouse and slams the door behind her. I run to the farmhouse and slam my shoulder into the door. The door slams easily to the ground and I find my mother standing with her arms raised in the air.

“Where is your army of rogues to save you this time?” I taunt my mother.
