The Mark of an Alpha {Book 1}✔

Twenty Five

Her deranged eyes pierce through mine as she trembles in her skin.

Anger washes through my mind making me physically sick. My head grows hot as I stare at this girl that is meant to mean nothing to Marcus. He chose her above me.

Hunter is still holding onto me while Marcus is in front of us being as possessive as ever. Hunter does not allow him to get near me.

"Let her go if you want to leave here with both your arms," Marcus' face reddens in anger as Hunter makes no motion of letting me go.

He is the reason that I am upright at the moment, I am thankful that he did not release me.

"You have no right to tell me anything, mutt. You're not worthy of calling her your mate so I suggest you back off."

Marcus trembles in front of us and Hunter pulls me behind him protectively.

I open my mouth to say something but the air rushing through me stops me.

The auburn haired girl rushes past Hunter and Andrew. They both are preoccupied with the other wolves to pay too much attention to a crazed girlfriend. Her body collides with mine and we hit the ground hard.

She is protecting what is hers and that is Marcus.

Let me sink my teeth into her. My wolf wants to cause someone some pain and at the moment she is an easy target.

Marcus shifts before Hunter but Hunter is quicker than him as he has his paws hitting the ground at the same time as Marcus.

I get off the ground quickly followed by the girl. "What the hell is your problem?" I seethe at her.

"He's mine!" She snaps her teeth at me.

"You can have him," my wolf and I say in unison.

In this, we both agree on. He wanted to be with someone else that she can have him. If he moved on so easily from his mate he is not worth a fight.

"Bitch, you better back off." She swings carelessly aiming at my face I block her with my forearm and my fist shoots straight at her face. She takes a step back and looks at me as a slow flow of blood comes down her nose.

"I'm not fighting over someone who isn't worth my time." I snap at her but she seems to be seeing red. She runs at me once again, I am as agile as ever.

It is as if seeing him with her has opened my eyes and my mind.

I turn to the side and as she runs past me I crouch down and sweep my leg under her sending the girl flying. Her face crashes hard against the ground.

I turn to look at Hunter as he snaps at Marcus. Hunter is gaining ground, making Marcus retreat back with his pack. I notice that Marcus is limping from his hind leg and that Hunter is bleeding from his shoulder.

"I want you off my land at once." The harshness of my voice pulls the attention of the other males to me.

Andrew has my back with the girl. He is watching her like a hawk. If she tries to come near me she has him to handle before she gets to me.

The girl gets up and dusts herself off and walks cautiously back to her pack members. Marcus is there still in wolf form. Hunter is by my side as well a low rumble leaving his chest. Hunter's fur brushes my side and Marcus' eyes catch the small gesture and they narrow on me.

"Go to the pack house. The pack is ready to come out and destroy them," Andrew says.

The commotion here must have gotten the attention of the rest of the pack. I need to stop them before they all come barreling down here and rip into these wolves.
