Chapter 165

81. Different Than You

ROYCE.

I pause.

No…

I am better than this… I squeeze his heart enough for him to growl in pain as he rips through my right flank and I kick him off, releasing my hold on his head.

He’s forced to shift back as he staggers, blood spilling from his chest.

“You will have to kill me, Royce! If you want the title! You don’t have it in you, do you, loser!”

He taunts.

No… I can take the title without killing him…. I refuse to keep repeating this cycle.

I storm towards him, the sky darkening, and I punch him across the face, knocking him to the ground.

“Refraining from killing someone does not make me a loser, father.”1/14

“Coward!” He sneers. “You don’t have the backbone to be king!”

“There is more to being king than displaying power…” I reply, looking at the hatred in his eyes. “You don’t deserve a fast end. You deserve. to live out the rest of your life in prison. Rest assured, you will never see the light of another day.”

My aura rages around me as I grab him by his head.

“Forfeit.” My command is absolute, and he stares at me with a thumping heart.

“Do it, before I request for your execution, Kenneth.” Mom’s voice comes, it’s cold and dangerous.

Dad looks at her before he clenches his jaw.

“No.”

Even when he’s heavily injured, and in a lot of pain, he stands his ground. His pride and arrogance outweigh the reprieve his body years for. 1

“What a fucking bastard.” Alejandro growls.

“Command him Royce!” Charlotte says, I glance at her, her eyes are glittering with tears, and I realise she’s finding it hard to watch…

He leaves me no choice…

“You forget… I don’t even need to command you … I followed protocol for the sake of my pack. We fought, and I am the winner… but even now I don’t need to force you to give up that title because, Father, you forget that I am the Solaris King. And, as king, every Solaris wolf is under me. I have the power to take your title with or without you saying those words.” I whisper menacingly. 4

“No. Wait! Royce, no!”

Images of Aleric’s last moments flash before my eyes like a living haunted nightmare and my eyes flash as power rushes through my arm.

The symbols that wrap around my hand like a glove now glow. I call upon that power that I received when I had taken the title of the Solaris king, and I feel the surge of power as his Alpha power and position are transferred to me.

A thousand bonds snap into place inside of me as the connection between the pack members. and me is formed. My wolf’s howl of approval

fills my mind and I feel him surge forward with

pride. An influx of emotions envelops me and I give him this moment. 1

For an Alpha wolf, his true happiness lies in leading and protecting his pack. From this day forth, all the members of this pack are my responsibility to protect and serve.
