The Alphas' Pride Mate (The Pride Who Goes Into Heat) (COMPLETED)

DESTRUCTION.

Chapter: 80
*******

The Lycgers spun around to see Malta looming behind them, his face twisted into a menacing grimace. He appeared different, devoid of emotion or scent—a vampire now. It became clear how he survived their previous attempt to end him. This time, they vowed to obliterate him completely, leaving nothing salvageable.

"I've been expecting you," Malta taunted, triggering low growls from the Lycgers.

Seth's fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. His usual calm demeanor shattered, replaced by seething rage that threatened to consume him. His voice, typically steady, now trembled with a mix of fury and concern. "Malta," he spat, venom lacing his words. "What have you done to him?" His voice resonated with a dangerous edge, sending shivers through anyone within earshot.

Malta chuckled darkly, turning away to focus on the unconscious Dirk, observing as the Lion drifted in and out of consciousness. He had inflicted significant harm, eager to witness how Dirk would survive his latest ordeal. "I've taken good care of him, can't you see?" he taunted with a dark chuckle.

Kurt exuded an intense aura of power as his narrowed eyes gleamed with danger. Muscles taut with raw strength, he brimmed with a torrent of retribution ready to be unleashed upon their foe. His deep, resonant voice carried a chilling promise. "You've unleashed a wrath within us that is beyond your comprehension. No one harms our Mate and gets away with it."

Malta chuckled again before retorting, "I've hurt him indeed, and I'm about to walk away unscathed. There's nothing either of you can do about it."

Trric, the youngest triplet, quivered with a mix of fear and fury. His playful nature is replaced by a burning desire for justice, his eyes glinting with untamed ferocity. His voice, a low growl, issued a warning that sent shivers down spines. "You thought breaking Dirk would break us. Yet, you've only stirred the beasts within us, ready to protect what is ours at any cost."

"Look at me, trembling with fear!" Malta challenged, prompting the Lycgers to advance.

As the triplets closed in on Malta, their collective anger formed a palpable force, causing the air to crackle with energy. Each purposeful step exuded fluidity and calculation. Their Mate, their beloved Dirk, was their everything, and no one would be allowed to harm him without facing their wrath.

A twisted smile danced on Malta's lips as he attempted to taunt them with a mocking laugh. However, his amusement swiftly faded as he witnessed the sheer determination etched upon the faces of the triplets. The once confident gleam in his eyes morphed into fear, realizing the grave error he had made by challenging these fearsome double-shifters. His confidence wavered, understanding he might not prevail against them alone. Erik and Victoria were yet to join him, but he trusted they wouldn't betray him like that bitch Floridia had. Their arrival would tip the scales in their favor, securing victory over these double-shifters once and for all.

Gritting his teeth, concealing his fear, he advanced towards them. "This won't be like last time. I will be the victor this time," he growled, his gaze shifting towards Dirk. With a menacing smile, he added, "I will kill him and claim his Core strength for myself!"

Seth, with jet-black hair framing his chiseled face, growled softly, his lips curling into a ferocious snarl. His eyes, like smoldering coals, burned with an inferno of rage. "You will pay dearly for what you've done to our Mate."

Kurt, standing tall with broad shoulders and piercing blue eyes, exuded authority and power and the presence of his Weretiger. His voice thundered through the room. "These walls will be painted with your blood," he declared, a lethal promise of vengeance lacing his words.

Trric, whose grey hair had turned fiery red complementing his intense red eyes, emanated controlled fury. Stepping forward, his voice dripped with malice. "I'll feed your heart to the ravens after I rip it out!"

The air grew heavy with dread as the Alphas closed in on Malta, their emotions churning like a tempest. Their combined power and fury formed an unstoppable force, ready to deliver justice upon the vile kidnapper who dared harm their beloved Mate.

"You'll rue the day you laid eyes on our Mate," Seth hissed, a harbinger of imminent chaos in his voice.

Kurt's icy gaze bore into Malta's soul, his voice filled with steely resolve. "You'll suffer a fate worse than death for your deeds."

Trric's anger fueled his words as he snarled, "You will pay for this with every ounce of pain we will inflict upon you and your allies. This is your final warning."

The tension in the room grew suffocating, the air charged with the promise of retribution. Malta quivered in the face of the Alpha trio's wrath, knowing their Mate's safety was their sole concern. They were determined to ensure justice prevailed, and Malta would soon face the full force of their fury.

As they charged for Malta, the door burst open, revealing Victoria and Erik standing at the entrance. Malta breathed a sigh of relief, eliciting burning rage-filled growls from the Lycgers. Now a group of three, they understood the need to devise a new strategy to overcome all three adversaries.

Victoria's heels echoed on the silent floor as she strode into the room, her red gaze fixed on the Lycgers. Her lips held no grimace despite the looming threat, her violet eyes sparkled with ferocity. Composed and regal, a hint of fear lurked beneath her mask, yet she remained poised, prepared to face any crisis. Her brown locks cascaded over her shoulders, framing her face elegantly.

"A family reunion, don't we just love those," she taunted, clapping her hands, locking eyes with Kurt who sneered in response. "Oh, don't be so sour, Pumpkin. You used to enjoy my surprises... like the announcement of your son's arrival." She laughed, her tone deliberately provoking.

The Lycgers' patience waned; they had no time for taunts and mockery. Their priority was to extract their Mate and get him to safety, irrespective of anything else. While Victoria may pride herself on her ancient lineage, she was no match for Trric, not with the newfound strength he possessed. Despite occasionally forgetting his own power since the Transferring, today was not one of those days.

"[Victoria is an ancient vampire, Tricc, deal with her. Kurt, handle Erik while I take on Malta]," Seth commanded, and his brothers nodded in agreement. They transformed into their powerful Lycan forms and charged forward.

The room erupted into chaos as the Lycgers, in their formidable Lycan forms, clashed with their enemies. Roars filled the air, the sound of claws and fangs colliding creating a brutal symphony that reverberated throughout the warehouse.

Seth, his massive Tiger form radiating authority and strength, launched himself at Malta with savage intensity. His gleaming fangs were ready to sink into their enemy with deadly precision. Malta, caught off guard by Seth's relentless assault, struggled to defend himself against the ferocious Alpha. Seth unleashed a flurry of blows, each strike aimed to subdue the traitorous vampire.

Kurt engaged in a deadly dance with Erik, their movements calculated and precise. The Beta's agility and cunning were met with the Lycan's raw power and strategic skill, creating a lethal exchange of predator versus prey.

Tricc locked eyes with Victoria, a battle of wills unfolding between the ancient vampire and the fiery young Lycan. Despite Victoria's age and experience, Tricc's determination and strength matched her speed and cunning. The clash between the two adversaries was intense, each combatant pushing themselves to their limits in pursuit of victory.

The battle raged on, a whirlwind of teeth and claws, blood and fury. The warehouse became a battleground, the air thick with the scent of blood and violence as the Lycgers fought with single-minded determination. Their Mate's safety was their sole focus, driving them to push forward with every ounce of strength they possessed.

Seth's jaws narrowly missed Malta's throat, drawing blood as he delivered a powerful blow that sent the vampire sprawling. Kurt's claws tore through Erik's flesh with brutal precision, while Tricc's agility allowed him to evade Victoria's strikes and sink his teeth into her arm with a fierce growl.
