The Mark of the Leopard

High Alpha (Final Chapter)

Then he kisses her again and I can't help an, "aww." Kazi looks at me in disbelief. "What? That was sweet." I say and he scowls. I smile and slide an arm around his waist while pecking his lips. R just walks out as smoke fills the room and I start feeling light headed. That b*star...

* * * * *

"Wake up!" Someone shouts. I gasp when freezing water soaks my clothes and hair. "Morning, High Princess." A guy with light strawberry blonde hair, smiles and dries my face. Ignoring him, I scan the room. Anger flares in me when I don't spot who I'm looking for.

"Where's Liylah?" I growl. He shakes his head and I lunge for his neck, but my wrists are held back by chains. "Where's my sister?! You pig!" I scream at him.

His hand grips my chin. "Watch it." He growls. "For your information, she's with that whipped sap Ryan. My boss made a deal with him. He couldn't pull through, so he gave you instead. If you do as told nothing bad will happen. Don't listen, bad things will happen, got it?" I glare. "Look," he drops his hand with a sigh, "I know what you're going through. Maybe not to a T, but I pretty much got here the same way.

"Little sister got kidnapped, came to save her, got taken and tortured, played the part of getting brain washed that they are good people and now I have one of the highest positions." He dries more of my face. "I know you probably don't believe me, I wouldn't blame you, however the fact remains, you need to get out of here and I have a plan. Are you willing to play along for it to work?" I look in his coffee brown eyes, searching to see if I can trust the strange aroma I smell pouring off him.

I nod. "What do I have to do?"

~~~Kazi's P.O.V.~~~

I awake to the sounds of screams, growls and cries. The smell of fire and gun powder. What the heck is going on? I stand from lying on the floor and find I'm in a cell. "Birayn! Nala!?" I shout. No response comes and I cough when smoke invades my lungs. I cough again and call them one more time. There's still no answer and I try the door, only to confirm my thought. It's locked.

"Kazi?!" I hear a voice yell.

"Jenna? What's going on?"

She appears out of the smoke and coughs. "We need to hurry." She jams the key in and opens the cell. We run out and there's a bloody war on the grass. A thousand creatures are ripping each other apart. "It's Birayn's father." Jenna states, getting on Pattrick's large red wolf.

"Eli?" I tear my shirt off.

"No." I look at her. "High Alpha." And Pattrick shoots away, weaving through the battle. I spot a werebird swoop down towards Jenna and shift into the action, bringing the flying rat to the ground. A wolf jumps on my back, flips me and pins me to the ground, paw on my throat. Our eyes meet and theirs narrow before they move off me and tackle someone else. I get up and charge at the first vampire I see.

After killing three vampires, two pixies and another bird. A long howl draws all the wolves, excluding a few, to the forest. I notice Pattrick and Jenna with them and follow. We continue running for about thirty minutes before coming to a halt. They begin shifting back behind shrubs and Nala throws a pair of basketball shorts at me. "There's gonna be a meeting." She informs me. "Birayn's missing." Once the words leave her mouth, my heart turns cold and I roar with rage. I'm gonna kill...

"Gather!" A voice booms. I change and join the group of half naked males.

"King Jelani." I roll my eyes, but look to the person calling me. "You're wanted at the front." The young pup points to an old guy staring at me with a hard look. I nod and make my way over, sighing internally.
