The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 191

Leo’s POV

“I will kill you, Old Man,” I yell after him. “Come back here are face me like a man.”

Elder Winters stops in his tracks and spins on his heels. He glares in my direction. “What did you just call me?” He yells from across the front yard of the pack house.

“I called you an Old Man, you dumb Bastard,” I shout at him.

“You have got to be the stupidest motherfucker alive,” Elder Winters says as he storms back toward me.

Rushing across the front yard of the pack house, I cannot help but notice that I have a bit of a limp in my step. A pain shoots from my side down my leg. I know I am not ready for this fight, but I have no choice. I am almost positive Elder Winters poisoned Raven’s glass. I have to defend my mate.

Before I know it, Elder Winters and I are standing toe to toe in the middle of the driveway. He is every bit as tall as I am, but he isn’t nearly as big. I bet he was quite the fighter in his younger days, but now he is just a pathetic old man, and I will make sure he knows his place when this is over. Anger is flashing in his icy blue eyes as he looks at me.

“I know what you did,” I spit at him. “I know you are the one that poisoned Raven.”

“Prove it, Rogue Alpha,” Elder Winters grins evilly at me.

Ignoring the pain in my side, I clench my fist at my side and strike Elder Winters across the face. B***d spews from his mouth as his head jerks to the side. Slowly he turns his head back in my direction.

“Don’t think I didn’t see you limping across the yard,” Elder Winters whispers to me. “I could kill you where you stand, but I will give you one last opportunity to back out with some dignity.”

“f**k you,” I hiss at him, and I strike him across the face again.

Not wanting to give him a chance to stay anything clever, I tackle him to the ground and begin to pummel him. Raising my fists, I land punch after punch on his face.

Someone grabs me from underneath my arms and pulls me off Elder Winters. I am kicking and yelling as they drag me away.

“Let me go,” I scream. “I am going to f*****g kill him.”

Whoever is dragging me finally lets go, and I spin to punch them in the face too. The only thing that stops me is when I see Alpha Ace’s face staring into mine. “You have to issue a proper challenge,” Ace tries to tell me.

“I did,” I growl. “I said I would challenge whoever walked out that conference room door.”

“That isn’t a proper challenge,” Alpha Ace g****s as he shakes his head from side to side.

I hear the gravel grinding against the payment behind me, and I turn to see Elder Winters getting back to his feet. Before Alpha Ace can catch me, I am sprinting back to Winters and tackling him to the ground.

Only this time, Elder Winters is ready for me, and he rolls with me on top of him and pins me to the ground. His knee digs into the wound on my side, and I yell out in pain, but I refuse to give up.

Elder Winters lands a few punches to my face as I struggle to get back up. Grabbing him by the sides of his shirt, I buck upward and fling Winters over my shoulders, causing his face to scrape across the ground above me. Rolling out from under him, I hop to my feet and kick him in the side.

Moaning out in pain, Elder Winters tries to crawl away from me, but I keep kicking him in his side. I see gray fur trying to sprout on Winters’s arms as he tries to force the shift.

‘Can we shift?’ I ask Luca.

Luca shakes out his fur in my mind. ‘Not fully,’ he tells me regretfully. ‘We still aren’t healed enough. But I can give you enough to kill him.’

‘That is all I need,’ I tell Luca.

My claws elongate from my fingertips, and I flex my fingers. Elder Winters is still struggling to get up, and I can see that a crowd has gathered around us.

Ace is right. I am going to have to do this the right way. “I, Alpha Leo, of the Blue Moon Pack, challenge you, Elder Winters, of the West Pack, for poisoning my mate. Do you accept?” I growl at him.

Elder Winters rolls over on the ground and peers up at me. I see that his claws are already extended. Slowly, he gets to his feet and looks at the crowd that has gathered around us.

“Do you accept?” I growl at him again.

“Son,” Elder Winters says as he spits b***d from his mouth. “It wouldn’t be a fair fight. You are injured.”

“So, you don’t accept,” I laugh, wiping the b***d from my chin with my shirt sleeve.

“I didn’t say that,” Winters says firmly, but I can smell the fear radiating off him.

“To the death?” I growl.

Elder Winters growls in return and rushes toward me. It is a clear acceptance of the challenge I have set before him. His claws are extended, and I dodge just in time to miss a swipe from his hands. While he is taking swipe after swipe at my face, I take a step forward and plunge my hand into his chest. My claws wrap around his beating heart, and I squeeze.

B***d trickles out of the corner of Winters’s mouth, and his eyes are wide as he looks from my hand and back to my eyes. “I told you I would kill you,” I say through gritted teeth.

Ripping my hand from his chest, I pull his heart out with it and drop it on the ground next to me. Elder Winters sways on his feet before his lifeless body collapses onto the ground.

Holding my side, I turn to Alpha Ace and fall into his arms. B***d is seeping through my shirt, and I can feel myself getting dizzy.

“Take me to my mate,” I say before I pass out at his feet.
