Feral Eclipse(EDITING)

28. Delightful Ends

Alexander sends another punch to his father who throws him off with a sedative chastising roar. Getting the chance as his son is down on his side, Augustus is fighting back a shift until he stops. The wolf swelling with warmness underneath his containments of skin.

The King stops forcing back his beasts before relaxing his bones, stimulating the transition. Vera gawks with her eyes widening seeing Clarity bite down on her own brother's leg, earning another grimace in discomfort.

With all the strength Alexander could muster hearing the bone in his knee crackling, he grips the muzzle below his sister's mouth pushing it apart. After hearing the satisfaction of her jaw breaking he releases it before she falls. While she's down Alexander claws at her underbelly.

"You'll never have the throne, Bane. Not as long as I'm alive." Clarity charges at her brother once again, colliding with his bruised side while clutching her mouth. The blue blazing hue in her eyes isn't missed by Vera seeing her mate tightening his fist around her neck. "You'll just burn it down like you burn everything else."

Clarity releases another whimper but this only makes Alexander smirk with the true predator radiating off of him in tides, "When I watch the world burn, All I will think about is you." He retorts with a grunt restrained from his tight lips. But he's too distracted, his heart is set on killing his sister that he doesn't even notice his father wrapping himself around Vera's pulsating neck. "Too bad you nor your father, won't be here to see it." He pushes her head back, striking it against the wall once more.

It was true. It pained him to the core to go against his family like this but Alexander was a ticking time bomb and the last thing he felt was ease. Everyday it was a constant reckoning to keep the beast at bay inside his entire life, and having a mate around that he couldn't control wasn't a stroll in the park either.

Although he hated being alone after all those years, there was nothing he sought more. To be in solitary with his pack of greedy wolves. Man killing machine, animals. That's where he belonged, above them all and would sacrifice anything to guarantee it happen. To demolish any threat to see it threw.

Vera slaps brutally at Augustus's hand which covered her mouth and nose into suffocation. Hot tears slice from Clarity's orbs of cerulean mist. But she still forces a smile on her face, showing the sharp teeth of her fiend. "If we burn. You burn with us, brother." The words spat in his face like poison.

Vera thrashes in Augustus's arms when she's finally able to yell for her mate's name. He's snapping his head in her direction, sharply, momentarily stealing his attention from his sister. The adrenaline rushed in his ears, and that's when he saw blood. "Get your filthy hands away from her." He demands charging towards his father almost instantly forgetting about the bloody pulp of a sister he wanted to end.

On impact of Augustus and Alexander's fighting, Vera hits the floor with a thud when it feels she'd lost all sight.

The marrow in her bones whined as she whimpered meekly. From the corner of her eye, she watched as Augustus and Clarity covered Alexander with their bodies, delivering blow after blow to no avail once again, Vera felt more than useless, a disgrace.

Her head is swaying sheepishly but as the voices fade out she hears someone coaxing her.

With her eyes still closed she feels someone bring her in their arms and subconsciously she pulls closer into their warm embrace.
