Begging In Silence

Chapter Eight.

Thane's P.O.V

"Again!" Sucking in a breath I breathe out and sprint across the field. Finishing my lap I plump down and try to catch my breath. "You're doing good, there is a slight difference but you're doing better than the last time we trained." I nod gulping down my water.

"I think so too but my actual body isn't as strong as it used to be, in my wolf form I can still do what I used to but when I'm just me I can feel it, it's different."

"Do you want to give a spar with your brother a try?" I shake my head.

"Why not?" Because he's still mad at me.

"Would you believe me if I said I want to make sure I can hold down my own before I spar with him?" I look at him and he shakes his head, chuckling he smirks at me.

"What happened?" He asks sitting down next to me. I tell my father the whole story, maybe he can advise me on what to do.

"What do you think?"

"I think he was right about fighting with Mike because of what he did." I roll my eyes. "But the way he acted was out of character even for him, you're right, whatever is going on with him and that girl needs to stop." I'm a little taken aback by his response. "It could happen that you and your brother share a mate, I mean you are twins after all but it could also turn out that that won't be the case, which isn't impossible either so I need you to be each other's voice of reason. Especially when it comes to your mate. Finding your mate, as an Alpha and as a male wolf changes you, you become completely consumed by them and could even make drastic decisions because your mate is involved."

"Is the bond that strong?"

"Stronger than anything. Which is why you need to protect it at all costs because just like it's your greatest strength, it can also be your biggest weakness."

"I hear you dad."

"Good now let's get back to work." I sigh but get up anyways. After training I head back to the house and take a shower. After getting dressed I head to the pack house, one of our wolves informs me that we have a problem. Heading to my office I find Ares already there with Noah, Jason, Olivia and Lucas.

"What's going on?"

"We got word that Mike is on his way over here with his pack to attack us." Olivia explains. I knew this would bite us in the ass.

"Do we know how many they are?"

"Not exactly but we think that he has support from a neighbouring pack." I look at Ares.

"What are you thinking?"

"We don't know how many they are, for extra precautions let's take half of our men, slit into two teams where one lures them in and the other surrounds them from the back but from a distance." I nod, agreeing with him.

"You heard him, get everyone ready and make sure the remaining men keep everyone else here safe. I want no casualties within these grounds."

"Yes Alpha." The Omegas leave but the Betas stay. "Let's get ready." Ares and I decide that I'll stay here while he goes with the rest of the men.

“You think that I’ll kill him because of Amber don’t you.” He looks at me.

“If I happen to kill him then it’s a clean kill, if you get his blood on your hands then it’s a problem. I’m doing this to protect you Ares.” He sighs. I can feel his regret.

“I know this is all because of me and now you have to clean up my mess.” I pat his shoulder pulling his forehead to mine.

“It doesn’t matter, I’ll always have your back Ares. No matter what and no matter against who.” We both smirk, nodding. Heading out he leaves and we surround the gate and front walls. “I want every inch of the front covered, they might come in from the back wall too so keep that in mind as well!” I yell. Sensing them on our land the gates open and we meet them as they approach. “You have five seconds to stand down and go back.”

“Like hell I will!”

“Have it your way.” I say under my breath. Running to us they shift and so do we, two of his men charge for me, attacking me on both sides and we tumble together. Growling in my ears they attack my shoulders with their teeth and I feel them sink into me.

“Thanatos! What’s going on?” Ares’s voice echos in my head.

“Nothing, I have it under control.” I say biting into one of the wolves’ neck and they whimper in pain, falling under me, biting into the other ones back I flip him over me and bite his head off. Looking around I see Mike on Olivia and I charge for him. Forcefully pushing his wolf he rolls across the field. “Olivia, are you okay?” I ask and she nods, getting up.

“You know, I had that handled.” I chuckle. Just as Ares suspected, more wolves come out and attack us from behind. As they draw in closer I tell my men to fall back.

“I never pegged you for a coward Thanatos.” Mike snarls, smiling.

“Have you ever know my brother and I to lose to the likes of you?” Mind linking my brother I tell them to move in. “Look around Mike! The one losing here is you.” When he looks around and sees more of our wolves surrounding them I see panic flash in his eyes. Giving the go ahead we move in and attack. “You get his right hand, leave him to me.” I snarl and Ares agrees. Charging for him, him and I go at each other, biting and clawing at each other. Damn it! I need to get a bite in.

“Thanatos.”

“I’ve got it handled!” I bark and just then my canines scrape his neck, sinking into his flesh. He howls in pain as they dig deeper and I throw him to the ground, putting my paw on his face.

“Alpha!” I hear Olivia yell as if asking me to stop.

“Yield.” I command him and his eye turns to me.

“I’d rather die.” He barks.

SNAP!
