Chapter 76
A bone-chilling scream escapes my lips as Zarek's claws tear through the flesh on my arms, leaving a searing trail of agony along my arms
As the world spins and shifts around me, I brace for the impact of the unforgiving ground beneath me. Yet to my astonishment, instead of landing on the hard ground, I find myself cushioned by Zarek's massive body, softening the blow and sparing me from further harm
A furious growl tears out of my father and I gasp to see him still coming after Zayn, Zarek though is quick and I slip off him landing on my stomach on the ground. I cover my head as they clash above me. Yet no harm comes to me with Zarek above me, almost like he is aware of where I am underneath him and is careful
enough not to move, just taking the brunt of my father's attack. Blood sprays all over me and I can tell it's a mix of Zayn's wolf and my father's
"No! Stop it!!!" I scream, loudly before screaming louder, my throat becomes raw and hurts as I scream myself hoarse trying to make them stop
But it's to no avail they keep fighting, growling, and snapping viciously at each other, tearing at one another's fur and skin and I am unable to move without being trodden on or caught in the middle, I can only cover my ears Finally, Zarek throws my father's wolf down with a growl. I can feel his roar of dominance, his aura crushing as it rings out, I can feel every ounce of it in my bones as he bares his fangs and growls deep in his chest, stepping over me as he stalks my father
My father's wolf whimpers softly in submission, a whimper I've never heard from his powerful wolf before. Zarek doesn't ease up though instead he sinks his teeth into my father's shoulder, not enough to kill him but enough for him to know who the Alpha 1s hereThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
I scramble backward, staring in horror as blood pools around them both, Zarek shakes out his fur and my father is forced to shift back to heal when a loud screech from the stadium speakers has everyone clutching their ears. The sound is horrendous as someone sounds an alarm through them. We all look up to the speakers when the huge screen turns on. Confusion washes over everyone as I try to figure out what is going on
"Someone shut that off," I barely make out someone screams out when the blaring suddenly stops and so does my heart in my chest when I
see an image of myself. At first, it takes a second for my eyes to focus on what I am seeing when the image flickers to a more vulgar one
Murmurs break out and I feel the blood drain from my body at the next one, my breasts on display, my underwear gone and my legs wide open
My eyes dart to my father as he sits up and turns to see what everyone is looking at. Zarek shifts back, giving control to Zayn, who screams at someone to shut it off. Vance and Greyson are already running for the control room but it's too late. Everyone can see it, and there is no doubt who it is, my face 1s clear along with the rest of me
My father sputters and his eyes dart to me, the shame and confusion I feel makes me throw up
My stomach upturning as I try to figure out where these photos come from. Zayn rushes
toward me, grabbing my hair as I throw up on the dirt. Suddenly, the screen cuts out just as I look up to see my father walking out of the stadium. "Dad!" I gasp, trying to get to my feet, but Zayn grabs me
"Cleo, leave it," Zayn growls, but I shrug him off, chasing after my father. Yet before I even near him, he spins around to face me and I almost run right into him
The moment he does, his hand connects with my face, and the sting burns right through every inch of me. I blink back tears as my head whips to the side, the next second all hell breaks loose when Zayn attacks my father. His fists rain down on my father with a fury that makes his wolf look like a calm puppy, my father can only try to block him while I stare stunned wondering how everything got so out of hand when my eyes fall on Lydia as Vance drags her
from the control room
Greyson rushes over grabbing Zayn and ripping him off my father. My father sits up, choking on his blood, before he heals swiftly. Zayn lands on top of Greyson as he is ripped away. My mind 1s whirling, spinning uncontrollably just like my life 1s at this moment. The look of disgust on my father's face speaks louder than his next words
"This! Him! You'd pick him over your pack!" he shakes his head getting to his feet. I move to stop him, to try to explain what even I don't understand
"Cleo!" Zayn calls and I stop glancing at him to see him shake Greyson off and stand, my father also stops watching me. "Choose, Cleo! Choose, tell him you choose your pack over him," my father orders yet Iam numb, coldly so as I glance between them
"I choose neither," I tell him, walking toward the exit when my father speaks. "Then you leave me no choice. As Alpha Shadowcrest pack I stand you down as future alpha," my father states
Clenching my teeth, I blink back tears but turn to face him, if he's going to banish me he can do it to my face. My father's lips tremble but by the hard set of his jaw, I know he's made up his mind. "I banish you from my pack and declare you a rogue." he finishes
"Then so be it," I gasp as pain slices through me, I almost drop to my knees in front of him, but defiance and betrayal burn hotter than the agony I feel as my tether to the pack breaks. I glare at him before walking out of the stadium only to hear Zayn racing to catch up to me
