Broken Hearts

The Challenge Of Alphas

"Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own." -Billie Eilish, When The Party's Over

Silas woke up to find Sophia already awake. She sat on the back patio smoking a joint staring into the fire pit only snapping out of it when he placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "What you thinking about baby?"

Sophia sighed, "Nothing love. You okay?" Silas nodded. He knew he could take on his father, man to man. Samuel couldn't command anyone to assist him in holding him down to make sure Silas couldn't hit him back.

It would feel good to finally kick Samuel's ass like he'd been dreaming of since he was sixteen.

Silas sat with his mate as she passed her joint and whispered, "Why can't this be talked out Silas? Why can't you and him just come to an agreement? Why do you hate him so much?"

Silas leaned back as he blew out the narcotic. "When I was tweleve, he broke every bone in my body for asking about my brother's resting place. Where he was buried. He then sent me into the demented woods and made me live there for two years until I became numb to the horror. But it never ended there..."

Silas told his mate about his grueling traing in the Kongo Realm. Where he had to fight to sleep, to eat, to bathe, to breathe. It wasn't a place for the weak and he had been there a year after his time in the demented woods.

"I went through all kinds of hell all at his hands, all at his orders. But I'm still alive because I refused to let that asshole get the best of me. And now after all these years, he now can see that I am the alpha of the Underworld pack. I fought for it, I bled for it, and I will return to make it better."

Linking their fingers, Silas hopefully added, "With you by my side."

Sophia blushed at her mate and whispered, "Of course."

Kissing him gently, Sophia nestled into his arms as his steady heartbeat, it calmed her and the butterflies she felt in her stomach.

When the sun peeked through the trees neither said a word but when they locked eyes it resonated through them both. 

It's time. 

They got dressed and then the four of them began to walk through the woods. When they arrived at a clearing, it was the direct line crossing over into the Underworld pack. Alpha Samuel scoffed in seeing Silas and then his gold eyes seemed to brighten in disgust seeing his witch of a mate beside him. 

"My pathetic weak-willed son has come!" He boomed taunting Silas, but Silas just turned to his mate and whispered, "I don't care what happens to me. s**t go sideways, you go with Trent." Sophia slowly nodded and he smiled, "I love you." Sophia couldn't say a word before he began to walk forward and boomed loudly, "I, Silas Apollo challenge you Samuel Apollo for the title of Alpha of The underworld pack." 

Samuel's chin jerked up as he pushed his bearskin parka off his shoulders making it fall in Hayley's arms. Stepping forward growling at the audacity of his son challenging him, sent him into a heated rage. His face began to morph horribly into more animalistic features as he growled, "My genes made you an alpha boy. Now my claws will end your pathetic existence." 

Silas' face smoothly began to transition as his fangs lengthen and his body seemed to grow in size. A deep chuckle came from his large form as he growled, "Against the alpha who would rather let his beta and third hold his kid down than fight him like a man? Yeah, I don't think so. " 

Alpha Samuel charged at Silas roaring in hate of the truth. 

Silas moved efficiently in dodging his father's slow swipes and old blind rage tactics.

Silas knew all off Samuel's weaknesses all of his dirty tricks he had pulled on others.

But Silas wasn't set to be beaten by a drunken i***t. 

Silas put his father where he wanted and sent a powerful kick into his stomach knocking the wind out of him. Samuel went flying through the air landing painfully on his back in the middle of the pack. They all looked at him wide-eyed and scrambled as he slowly got up. 

Grunting as blood ran out of his mouth, Samuel looked at his other boy and rasped, "Do it!" He hissed. Omen paled even more as he looked at mom afraid. Haley looked ready to throw up and everyone in the pack looked at Omen afraid for him. 

Samuel growled even more, "Do it now boy!"

Silas met his brother's scared eyes and shook his head. 

Omen suddenly jerked from his mom and yelled, "I Omen Apollo recognizes my older brother Silas Apollo as my alpha!" And then the kid bolted before Samuel could stagger to him in anger. 

Once Omen was with Sophia, both watched Silas glare at his father in hate, "You were going to force him to challenge me in your place? You really are pathetic." 

Samuel stood and spat on the ground, "I knew you weren't my seed. You're nothing but a waste boy." Silas suddenly appeared in front of Samuel and lifted him up by the neck, "Coming from you? A man who'd let a child fight his battles? Go to hell Samuel. And get the f**k off my land." 

Throwing his father like he was nothing, Samuel went crashing through trees before crashing to the ground. Every wolf in front of Silas looked at him with their wolves present in their eyes, their connection to their alpha strengthening through him as it was ripped from Samuel.

Every wolf in the underworld pack bowed to Silas as he flowed with power and turned to face his beaming mate glowing at him in pride.
