Alpha Coast stood in front of Bella protecting her, he bore his fangs out as he growled at the men, he didn't need to change into his wolf because he could handle them very well on his own.
The first man ran towards him with an axe, he raised it up high to attack him, Alpha Coast kicked him by the balls, he grabbed his hand taking the knife out of his hand, he bent the man down on his knees and sliced off the head of the guard like he was being executed.
The next man ran towards him with a knife, he swiftly dodged his next attack and grabbed him by the neck, he punched his face, the man fell down to the ground but got back again to fight him.
He grabbed his hand and twisted it until it broke, he then caused him to stab himself in the chest and dragged it all the way down to his stomach.
He pulled the knife out of his stomach and stabbed his neck then dropped his body to the ground.
Before the next man could launch his own attack, he kicked his face and broke his leg by marching on his toes, the man was down on his knees when he held his face pushing his eyes inside until blood gushed out of his eyes.
He stabbed his head with the knife and kicked him out of his sight.
The men watched in horror how he had brutally killed three men in a space of three minute, they wondered how their own death would be but they couldn't step back they had to protect their own Alpha.
Alpha Coast gestured for them to come at him as he stretched his body for more attack. About eight men were left and they decided not to take turns but to attack him all at once.
They ran towards him and he smirked, he grabbed the first man who could reach him much faster and dug his claws into his neck, he slashed his neck killing him then he went ahead to grab the next person.
One of them had sneaked up behind him having his hands around his neck pressing him, Alpha Coast bent down stumbling to the ground, he grabbed the knife from his hand and stabbed his chest killing him.
Once he was back on his feet, a knife was much closer to his waist, he grabbed it with his bare hand and glared at his opponent,
"Not so fast" he said and grabbed the knife out of his grasp despite his bleeding hand.
He was able to stab the man in his ears but he wasn't satisfied so he pulled the knife out sliced his neck. The man tried to stop the bleeding as he fell to his knees then he eventually died.
He grabbed two men at once by the neck and smashed their heads together, he let go of the weaker one already down on the ground to attack the one still in his grasp, with his hand on his face, he burst his brain with his claws. He then went ahead to pick the one on the floor.
"Please don't hurt me" the man pleaded, he was the same guard who had informed Alpha Nathan about their arrival and he was already regretting it.
"Pathetic" Alpha Coast commented and squeezed his neck to death.
All that was left was a shivering Alpha Nathan watching his men all killed by Alpha Coast, he was so scared that he tried to run away but Alpha Coast grabbed him in time.
"I had warned you before" he stated and punched his face.
"You still had the guts to talk back to me" he punch him again.
Alpha Nathan staggered from each punch, the third punch came faster and heavier causing him to lose his balance and he fell harshly to the ground.
Alpha Coast got on top of him and punched him some more until he was bleeding from his nose and mouth, his face was red and swollen from each punch he got from him.
"The next time you see, you will never dare to talk back to me. He got off him and watched him try to drag himself away from him.
"Where do you think you are going to" he grabbed his leg and broke it, he stepped on his ankle breaking it too.
"This was what you wanted, you wanted to see me for the beast I really am" he said picking up a knife, he stabbed his back and went all the way down to his leg, every part of Alpha Nathan's leg was filled with knife marks and he couldn't walk properly neither get back on his feet.
He had to crawl to try to get away from Alpha Coast and he didn't bother to chase after him as he just watched him go.
Alpha Coast turned back to look at Bella, she had already cut her dress to create a blindfold covering Luther's eyes.
Coast was covered in blood stains, his claws were still dripping from the blood of the men and he thought Bella would hate him by seeing him in such a manner. He kept his head down in shame when she walked up to him and touched his face.
"You are not a monster and I can never hate you for protecting me.
I love you my big bad Alpha" she said to him as if she knew the thoughts in his head and he felt relieved after her words.
***
They returned back to the Pack with Beta Arthur waiting for them by the entrance.
"Welcome back Alpha" he said but with a troubled expression on his face. Alpha Coast could read his face and knew something was wrong.
"What's wrong Arthur?" He asked, Bella walked past them taking Luther in.
"I got this this morning" he said and passed a folded paper to him.
Alpha Coast opened it and read, it had just one statement on it.
"Return Elaine back to me or die" the content stated.
He could already guess exactly who the threat came from,
"James sent this" he called him by his name disregarding his title.
"Yes" he answered frowning deeply, Beta Arthur had enough of Alpha James bothering him and his mate.
"What do you say we attack them by dawn" he said.
Alpha Coast was ready to end the life of Alpha James for pestering his Beta and his mate.
"Not yet Alpha, Elaine isn't ready to face him.
She has been training intensively so that she could get a chance to stand against Alpha James without shivering. I just thought I should let you know about it before I do something rash" he said to him boiling in anger after reading the letter.
Alpha James was going too far in trying to get what was his, he could never give Elaine to him no matter what happened, she belonged to him alone and he couldn't share her with another man.
"Does Elaine know about this letter?" Alpha Coast asked.
"No, I cannot tell her about it, it would distract her training besides she was already shaken up about the first one" he blurted out to him.
He couldn't afford to make Elaine shiver in fear just by hearing the babe if Alpha Janes and the threats he had made. He knew it would affect her mood and age would begin to panic but just for her but also for him.
"The first one, how many things have you hidden from me Arthur" Alpha Coast picked up, he hated when he hid things from him most especially things that were important.
"I am sorry Alpha" He apologized bearing his neck in submission to him, he pulled out Elaine's letter and gave it to him.
After Alpha had finished reading it, he returned it back to him but his eyes were full of rage.
"This is your last warning Arthur, if you dare hide anything from me again then I will punish you.
As for the attack, she will wait until Elaine is ready because she is a good asset to getting to Alpha James, killing him in front of her would set her free from the pain she is feeling inside unless she agrees to forgive him which i doubt.
How did you get the letter in the first place?" Alpha Coast asked.
"An omega gave it to me claiming it was from a strange man" he answered.
"Can she recognize the man?" He asked if there was anyone working for Alpha James among them.
"No"
"Have Elaine's training sped up, the earlier we attack the better" he ordered and retreated to his room to have a bath.
He opened the door to his room and found Bella waiting for him.
"I prepared a warm bath for you" she said. She helped him take off his shirt but when she got to his trousers, she stopped to look at him.
"I don't mind" he stated, he actually loved her touch on his body.
"I will just check if the water is still warm" she said but he pulled her back to him.
"Are you sure you are okay with what you saw earlier, if you don't want me to be that brutal then I could change" he whispered to her ears.
"I am fine with it, you don't have to change for me.
I would have done the same if I had powers just like you, I would protect you with my last breath even if I had to be brutal to get what I want" she said.
She didn't want him to see himself as the bad person because of how he killed those men, she knew she would have done the same to protect him.
"What did I do to deserve you?" he said feeling overwhelmed.
"I should be saying the same thing.
You should really get a bath and take the stench of blood off you" she stated.
"Will you join me?" He asked.
"No" she pulled away from him.
"Hmm" he pretended to go alone but then he came back to carry her in with him.
"Let have a bath together" he said.
