5 Puppies For The Alpha
Chapter 68

The snow was falling again, ending up on Lukyan’s bare skin and making him shiver. By now his footprints must have been hidden by the dense white layer. All around him the landscape was uneven, there were areas where there was no sign of life and from one side to the other you could replace bush or stone formations. Behind him one of the wolves was pushing him when he slowed down.

He had tried one of his tricks, trying to get into their minds, but he couldn’t understand why it didn’t work. The wolves’ gaze was lost and no matter how hard he tried to reassure them, nothing worked.

Sylas was leading the group with Laira wrapped around his arm with a huge smile on her face. Ryan trailed behind them stepping calmly and confidently. Lukyan glared at him. He didn’t understand how he could control them. He had broken his head, but it was something that didn’t enter his head.

He knew that ability. Even if he increased his efforts in a few years he could reach the level of controlling someone partially or completely, but that was because his genetics were omega. But with Ryan there was no trace that he was as well. His scent was that of an ordinary wolf, with no outstanding genes like Dante, Falco or himself.

Thinking about it made him feel more dizzy than he already did. He had given Edgar too much b***d and his body was still restoring it.

They stopped again and he sighed in relief. His legs were numb as were his bound hands. He watched as Sylas shook Laira from his arm and turned to face him, looking at him. He knew those eyes. They were the same as when she’d come down to the cell and raped him. A shiver ran through his body and he tensed.

The wolf on his back, held him by the shoulders burying his fingers in the skin holding him still. As if he wanted to escape at that moment. He would not leave without the antidote for his loved ones.

The alpha walked in his direction. Ryan intercepted him, but a growl coming from him made him scurry to the side again and lower his head. Laira ran towards her father with a retort coming from her lips that was silenced when she received a blow to the cheek that left her lying next to Ryan.

-Don’t let him follow me, be obedient,” she ordered the former beta in a commanding voice.

Lukyan’s breath caught in her lungs as Sylas’ face appeared in her line of sight. He swallowed dryly. Still he scowled at her without showing fear. She wasn’t afraid of him specifically, but of what he was capable of doing to her.

Sylas smiled slightly, admiring the wolf’s face, which he had to admit, drove him crazy.

It was beautiful, even more so than all the lovers he’d had before. So many times he had gone to see him after not being satisfied and with him he could come as many times as he wanted. And now she had him all to herself again. She would mark him and they would be a couple again, as they should be. Even if she kept him chained to her bed all the time. He licked his lips the thought of it made him even more aroused than he already was.

Lukyan took a deep breath sensing the wolf’s state and a thousand unpleasant images crossed his mind. But he couldn’t focus his thoughts any further when a sharp pain shot through his stomach and traveled the length of his body weakening him. He looked down and saw Sylas’ fist against his abdomen, the bastard.

His knees weakened and he fell forward gasping for breath. The alpha grabbed him and put him over his shoulder as if he weighed nothing. In that position his head hung upside down and he became nauseous.

He could hear Laira’s calls behind him as he walked somewhere not so far away from the group, but reserved. His body was grabbed by the waist and thrown back against the snow and he fell face up. His arms hurt even more under his own weight.

-Well, my wolf, it has been a while and I don’t think I can wait long. My body is very demanding and you know it,” he brought his hand to his e******n that was beginning to show, “Don’t worry, no one will interrupt us. I hope you missed me,” he began to unbutton his clothes, licking his lips.

Lukyan lifted his head and with his feet began to back up as best he could. The blow to his abdomen had done more damage than he thought and had paralysed several muscles in his torso.

-Where do you think you’re going?” she grabbed him by the ankle and pulled him back to his feet, placing a hand on his neck and smashing him violently to the ground.

-That’s better. I like it when you make war with me, but I don’t have that much time to play with you,” she said.

She leaned down to k**s him. She licked his lips and squeezed his throat, forcing his mouth open with her tongue.

Lukyan shook his feet trying to free himself in vain. He would not give in so easily. Frowning he clenched his teeth inside his mouth and grabbed one of Sylas’ lips until it broke. The b***d soon reached the roof of his mouth and he could tell it tasted foul. Nothing tasted better than the b***d of her current husband.

-Dog,” the wolf slammed his palm painfully against his cheek causing his face to turn, yanking at his neck.

The wolf felt his mouth fill with his own b***d as the flesh inside ruptured. His cheek throbbed, nothing had been held back by hitting him. It wasn’t the first time it had happened and this kind of pain was nothing new to be impressed by.

-So you want it rough, and I was going to be nice this time,” she laughed bitterly to turn him face down.

The snow against his barely covered chest was an unpleasant sensation, at least his injured cheek was grateful for the lower temperature. He tried to struggle to free himself, but the back of his neck was squeezed again, slamming him to the ground. Sylas’ body straddled him and he ran his other hand along his spine.

Lukyan wished his ability worked on those with alpha genetics, but try as he might, it was useless, he could only use that. Repressing all the pain and weakness in his body he let his eyes shift until his iris was lost within them.

-Let me go,” he ordered through gritted teeth praying it would work.

After he had taken the b***d of both Dante and Lucian his body had grown considerably stronger. Maybe now he could do it.

To his surprise the hand on the back of his neck loosened its grip but he didn’t let go.

-Sylas growled and slammed him to the ground again as if to bury him, leaving him dizzy from the impact, “Don’t use your tricks on me Lukyan, they won’t work.

The wolf’s hands this time more roughly went to the top of his clothes and tore them off, revealing his back. He gasped as he looked so helpless and for the first time in years his eyes filled with tears.

Before, this was all he knew. Now that he had been with Dante and experienced how soft and delicious a lover could treat his body. To be exposed in such a way was so repulsive that he was disgusted with himself, especially as he was so weak. If he were at full strength he would not give in so easily.

Sylas licked the curve of her back, savouring her skin.

-Delicious. No one must touch this flesh but me, I’ve always said, you’re perfect, the thought of others looking at you drove me mad.

His tongue continued its journey until it stopped on something present on the now uncovered nape of her neck. A growl made her shiver.

-Lukyan, what the hell is this,” she squeezed the area where Dante’s deep mark was visible making him scream, “Why are you marked?

Despite his state he snorted in pleasure. The fool had no notice that he had joined body and soul with his greatest enemy and through the mark belonged to him alone.

-No wonder Laira calls you a whore, you open your legs for anyone,” his words came out of his mouth like acid.

She stood up from him giving him a breath to grab him by the hair and pull him back to where the others were. Ryan and Laira stood up when they saw them coming. The wolf roughly threw him to the ground as if he was a rag doll.

Sylas walked over to Ryan and grabbed him by his clothes. He slammed his fist in the middle of his face, breaking his nose.

-You can’t even do anything right,” he snarled at the wolf who lay on the floor holding his bleeding face, “You didn’t tell me he was marked, you a*****e, good for nothing,” he stomped his stomach with his foot making him g***n and double over in pain.

Laira recoiled, not used to seeing her father so upset, or so violent. He had never behaved that way in front of anyone before.

-The alpha roared at the soldier who was in charge of controlling Lukyan and he grabbed him by the shoulders, straightening him up. The omega didn’t even make an effort to fight, he was too weak to put up a fight.

-I see how things are, so you betray me,” her former husband said, “But don’t worry my beautiful husband, just because you are marked doesn’t mean you can’t belong to me,” she laughed and all colour left Lukyan’s face foreseeing the worst, “There is a method to remove the mark you have, when it bites you,” she said.

-Laira refrained from throwing a tantrum and just stood to the side trembling slightly, “Didn’t you say you would kill him and make me queen?

Glassy eyes turned up and down her face. His smile completely paralysed her daughter.

-I wanted to wait until your first 100 years, so you’d be of more use to me, but at least you’ll be of use to me for the time being,” he reached up and touched her cheek with his fingertips.

-What do you mean, father,” her voice trembled.

-You don’t know, my beautiful daughter. If you devour your children’s bodies at a necessary age you will absorb their energy and become stronger,” he watched as she opened her eyes wider, “Why do you think I had so many children? They were all preparing to be delicious morsels and a source of energy and power – she showed all her teeth, especially her fangs.

Laira, terrified, turned and started to run, but that only encouraged Sylas’ inner beast to come out. Turning into a beast, she hunted him down, landing on his small body and tearing it apart bit by bit without mercy. It was so fast that no one had time to react.

-Mommy, save me,” cried the puppy, asking Lukyan for help, before her eyes became completely lifeless. But her mother, no matter how much she shook herself, could not get out of the wolf’s grip. His relationship with her was as bad as it could get, yet seeing your daughter being devoured like that put all those aspects aside.

Only when Sylas lifted his bloody muzzle, leaving a sea of b***d beneath him and barely a trace of bone in his clothes, could Lukyan feel a devastating emptiness. One so deep that it made him fall forward with silent tears falling from his eyes in shock. His daughter was dead and with him a part of his soul had also been consumed.
