THE RISE OF AN OMEGA-Chapter 15: PAINS

D

Kira’s POV

How the hell is she an alpha? How’s that possible?

Ever since I had been alive I had never heard of the existence of a female alpha.

Female alphas are very rare wolves, and when a female is an alpha, they tend to be very strong and brutal.

When I got to Ryker’s Palace, I sensed her strength, I knew that she was very strong, but I wasn’t just expecting her to be an alpha.

The palace began to fill up with whispers and murmurs after I landed my first blow on her. Suddenly, my hearing senses heightened, and I began to hear things even from far away.

I could hear everyone’s heartbeat, and the sound of everything was overwhelming. It was like I had been dumped amid very loud microphones.

I didn’t realize Isabella had gotten so close until she seized me. In one swift motion, she lifted me off the ground and hurled me down, my back slamming against the unforgiving, stony floor.

Blood gushed from my mouth as the force of the impact rattled my bones. For a split second, my body went numb, unresponsive. Before I could regain my senses, she was on me again, moving with wolf-like speed. She grabbed me, lifted me off the ground with terrifying strength, and hurled me against the wall.

I felt my bones crack, I felt my life slowly drifting away. She came at me again, but this time I noticed her and then moved away, falling to the ground, causing her to make a forceful impact on the wall.

The place shook due to the collision; it made my jaw drop; what manner of strength is this? I looked at Ryker, but his face was turned away. I wondered why he couldn’t stop this madness; I wondered why he was allowing his crazy-ass mate to treat me like I was some trash can.

I hoped he would put a stop to this unending fight. I looked around and saw the look of pity in the faces of everyone watching then my eyes landed on Emilia.

I saw her trying to make her way through the crowd, she probably had patients to attend to as she was the pack’s doctor.

She stood in front of the crowd, and the next thing I saw was a thumbs-up. I was stunned—why was she giving me a thumbs-up? She did it again, this time with both hands.

"How dare you..." Isabella voiced out angrily, charging towards me at full speed.

I immediately stood up and positioned myself defensively.

"Breath, Kira, breath.." I muttered

I decided to pay more attention to my hearing, I tried to listen for her footsteps separating them from the many sounds I was hearing

Surprisingly, I was able to do that. I then paid more attention to the sound of her attack, but I was too late. She had already gotten to me.

Isabella punched me in the stomach; as if that wasn’t enough, she gave me a back kick that sent me flying across the open space.

"Is this how weak a moonkeeper is?" She laughed scornfully "I will relieve you of this so-called destiny," she said

She came at me again eyes still glowing red, Claws out, fangs visible. I didn’t know what to do anymore I was already saying my last prayer to the goddess when I suddenly felt a strength from within.

I couldn’t quite place it, but it was overwhelming; it felt like a burning fire all over me. Still on my knees, eyes closed, I was able to stop Isabella’s attack.

As she tried to claw me, I got hold of her right hand and held it tightly. She tried to release herself from it, but I wasn’t letting go. She tried attacking me with her left hand; I caught it, too.

It was a battle of will and strength. She kept trying to free herself from my grip, but I wouldn’t let go. I had her, still holding her hand, and lifted her. My eyes were still closed, so I couldn’t tell what was going on around me.

I could only hear sounds of surprise and shock. I had managed to stop Isabella’s attack and lift her—something people rarely do. Well, I found out more about that later.

I began to bend her fingers backwards until I began to hear the cracking sound, and then I twisted her hands, clearing her from the ground with my legs.

She fell flat to the ground, but she didn’t stay for too long. She stood up, almost immediately charging towards me. I began to dodge every one of her blows and kicks.

I could hear the frustration in her breathing.

"This can’t be happening", she muttered. "I am the only female alpha; I can’t allow myself to be demeaned by a lowly omega." She growled

I felt a surge of energy flow through me at the mention of lowly omega it was as if she had touched a spot she shouldn’t have.

"Lowly omega" I growled, my eyes turning yellow

The sounds of surprise echoed from the crowd as my claws and fangs emerged. With a fierce growl, I charged at Isabella, slashing and cutting through every defense she put up.

But I didn’t stop. I kept on slashing till I found an opening; I twisted my hands into a small opening, and I saw her chest. I slashed through her chest.

She groaned. As she moved closer to me, I immediately grabbed her by the neck, lifted her, and slammed her to the ground. I dragged her along the walls of the battleground.

Then suddenly I felt her hands on my leg I wasn’t sure how she did it but she dragged me down and that was the end she began to punch me nonstop until I couldn’t feel myself anymore I was getting so weak and tired until I began to feel a surge of energy from within this time it felt like It was going to blow me into pieces.

I tried to contain it but I couldn’t then suddenly I heard a still small voice say "Let it out" At first I wasn’t sure if I should listen to this voice or not plus I wasn’t even sure what I was letting out.

Then the voice came again, "Let it out, it’s not like you can contain it, but the good thing is you will be feared by all, respected as the moon keeper after this."

I liked the way it sounded, but I was skeptical because I wasn’t sure if what I was going to let out was going to be destruction. Isabella was still on me hitting me with full force.

I tried to get her off me, but I couldn’t, and just then, a strong force exploded from within me, spreading around the room. The force blew Isabella far away. She landed on the other side of the palace stairs, and every other person in the room fell to the ground.

I stood up and ran out of the palace.

Halfway to my house, I began to hear my name, a familiar voice, but I didn’t look back; I kept on going.

"Kira! Kira!! Please wait" he called out

"Go away" I yelled, increasing my pace

But he kept on coming

"What do you want" I yelled turning back, my voice shaking the ground

"Calm down Kira, calm down"

I began to panic, my breathing quickening. "What’s happening to me?" I whispered, my voice trembling.

"I think your Moon Keeper abilities are beginning to awaken," Ryker said, his gaze steady as he stepped closer

"Moon keeper abilities?" I took in a deep breath "Do not come any closer"

"What are you afraid of?" He asked, taking a step toward me.

"I don’t want to hurt you," I said, my hands trembling as I stepped back.

"Hurt me?" He scoffed "I don’t think you can ever hurt me, Kira"

I turned to look at him he had a tiny bruise on his face,

"Why isn’t it healing" I asked pointing to the direction of his injury

"Oh that never mind" he said coming closer "You did good back there" he said

"I almost died Ryker," I said

"But you didn’t" he blurted out

"So why didn’t you do something, why didn’t you put a stop to the fight?"

"I couldn’t" he said Bowing his heads

"What do you mean you couldn’t, you are alpha, your word is final"

"Isabella is also an alpha I am sure you noticed that." He said

"How the hell did she become an alpha?" I asked, anger laced in my voice.

I watched as Ryker paced to and fro the road; the moment he opened his mouth, it was as if he couldn’t find the right words to use to express himself.

"Are you going to break this awkward silence?" I asked frustrated by his total silence

"I am thinking of the right words to use, the perfect way to explain to you so it won’t sound complicated."

How complicated can this be?
