I Scored Myself A Mate

The forest was dark, unusually so and Alexander did not know if it was because of his fear or even nature itself had realized something was terribly wrong.

The terrain was fragile, his feet diving into cold mud a few times. He remembered the portal, the one with the pretty flowers, made from Allias' sorrowful death. Such a beautiful scenery hid such an important secret with only a metal gate in the peculiar shape of a long tear drop to signal it's existence. As if it was forgotten there, a huge mansion existing with it, a long time ago someone would believe it was the ruin of an old family, until everything perished with the cruelty or time. 

He was out of breath soon, he indeed had lied about being able to run. In reality he wasn't able to do anything at all, he couldn't allow himself though to let them down once more. This time he had to help. Show Luke he would be able to stand by his side, help him. 

The Alpha's dead body flashed on his mind, a shivering image as he walked passed the dense trees. He couldn't let that happen to Luke, time was of the essence and he did not have much. 

Time was always a trickster, playing games with them. If he had been born sooner, if he had met Luke sooner would things end up differently? Maybe better. He doubted it. Thinking about it wasn't good for him to wonder how their present could be different. These moments were all he had, these days filled with tears and heartbreak also had such precious smiles, such heartwarming words and he no matter what wouldn't want to change them. 

He stopped right in front of the gate, listening to the sound of the creak, the water running smoothly, cold and clear. The huge tree Infront of the portal stood tall and domineering as Alexander's eyes scanned the area. He hopped over the small river, slipping slightly on the edge, his foot ending up half in the cold water. He hissed with the sudden cold feeling before he landed safely with a second attempt to to the ground. 

He looked as if he was getting ready to go to war, his eyes showing how serious he was. Staring right into the portal his footsteps were steady the fear of the unknown unable to overtake him. He was scared, very much so but he couldn't hesitate. Stepping to the other side, finding Allias was their only hope. 

Alexander though remained to their human roalm though. It was the golden King stepping into their area, looking as majestic as always. He noticed him immediately with his eyes. Cold and unwavering. Allias was truly a king, with his every step, his every move he made sure to show his authority. 

Theseus was standing right behind him, cautious about everything, ready to kill anyone who would approach him. He used to follow the method of slashing someone's throat first and then finding out if they were enemies or foes.

"Alexander? What are you doing here?" He asked him with a questioning look. Alexander eyed him, surprised by the fact that in the few hours he hadn't seen him Allias had managed to lose his arm. His eyes widened, his silk sleeve empty, the king's vibrant eyes following his stare. 

"Your arm? What...."

"People should pay the consequences of their actions." He simply told him. Alexander was stunned. Did he really do this to himself? He actually cut his own arm off? Who would have such inner strength and that unwavering feeling of justice to be strong enough to cause themselves such pain? Allias smiled kindly, taking a step towards him. "I am fine. So please tell us what's happening. I believe that's why you're here. We received Luke's letter so we hurried here as fast as we could."

"Thank you" Alexander said. He believed in Allias, he knew the kindness he had inside him. "Sam, his cousin started a riot. The alpha is dead and now they have taken imprisoned Luke, Markus, Daniel and Mikael."

"Mikael? Is he alright?" A voice was heard behind Theseus and Alexander realized that Mark was with them. Standing behind them, shielded in a way.

"Yes, yes. For now everyone is fine. We just need to go and save them because once the sun rises they will execute them to set an example. Sam has used you, the elves as an excuse to gather followers. Saying that Luke has become your dog and that he doesn't care about the pack." He explained.

"I did not believe that Sam was that smart. I am surprised." Allias said.

"It wasn't him, probably. It was Lily. Luke's ex girlfriend." 

Allias' eyes widened. That despicable girl that used to torture him had now left the petty trick and scams. She was actually doing something so dangerous and vengeful. She was really intending to kill Luke? She was supposed to love him. 

"That bitch!" Mark shouted agitated. "So it's not enough for her to lock people up and torture them. She has already tried to kill Allias now she wants to get rid of Luke." 

"Theseus be wary. Of you see a blonde woman be sure to kill her. Don't listen to her and don't show any mercy. Just get her out of my way. She is a bother." Allias commanded him, the general nodding. "Let's go. I doubt that they will be able to handle us. Alexander please stay here with Mark. If we haven't returned in half an hour which I doubt it, call for help. Ea and Ares are on standby by the portal on the other side." Allias instructed him. 

At first he was hesitant. Letting them go alone into this place. They didn't know how many men Sam had with him and he was sure they were alerted by his escape now. 

"Okay I will wait." He told Allias and he nodded with a smile.

"Do not worry. We will return with Luke." He tried to reassure him.

"Can't promise you he will be in one piece. I might you know....get rid of him." Theseus joked Alexander's eyes widened in shock. "I'm joking. Shall we?" He asked Allias and he smiled.

Havoc would begin soon.
