Ousted

As early as the first flicker of dawn, Ethan had already set foot in Bruce's chambers.

"My friend; what brings you here so early?", the unwary Alpha asked.

"I thought to take you on an early walk. One last one before you get so busy for our usual warm ups.", Ethan replied struggling with the ordeal of hiding his guilt.

The unsuspecting Alpha who seemed exhausted from the activities of the previous night expressed a countenance of decline but Ethan didn't seem to be in a hurry to give up.

"Who knows; you may be able to finally sense your mate.", Ethan added.

Enticed by the idea of getting to meet his mate, Bruce fell for the trap. They left sooner for the woods. Two guards had wanted to go with the Alpha but he waved them off. No one apart from the guards saw the young Alpha leaving the Chambers.

After they had made sure that the Alpha had left the Chambers, Darius and Ramon who encamped at the Courtyard made their way to William's Chambers. Darius instructed the guards stationed before the passage leading to William's Chambers to follow him, leaving the area unguarded.

"Follow me.", Darius said to the two Wolves on guard. He led them towards the Courtyard where Rudolf lay ambush with his Pack wolves. The two guards were slaughtered; their necks severely gashed by the barbaric wolves.

Next the Gamma knocked on William's door. He banged the door repeatedly; forcefully waking the old Wolf from his sleep.

"Bruce is under attack my lord!", Ramon said, panting dubiously to back up his pretense.

William who seemed furious that the Gamma had woken him up suddenly bounced out of his room in fear. Totally disregarding the condition of his leg which retrained him from moving on a faster pace, he dashed behind Ramon, sprinting towards the Courtyard.

"Where is Bruce? Where is my son?!", William enquired as soon as he got to the Courtyard.

He moved from one angle to another in search of the Alpha but couldn't find him.

"Ah brother; finally! You have joined us.", Darius echoed from behind the old Wolf.

"Where is Bruce? Where is he?", William questioned again.

"He will be here soon; when it is time for him to be here.", Darius replied his brother.

William understood that it was a decoy when he saw Rudolf approaching from behind; his Pack members who were hiding at different angles revealed themselves.

"What is this brother? Ramon…?", William asked taking two steps backward. 

"Just a little party, and I called my friends to join in the fun.", Darius responded taking so much pleasure in his sinister laugh.

William looked around; he was surrounded and no one was going to come around sooner to assist him. The condition of his leg was an added disadvantage, his gray hairs a perfect reminder of his old age.

"You grew so weak; so diplomatic that you ignored our pact of conquest.", Darius said approaching William; his shoulders shrugged and his body vibrating to the rage in him.

"I fought beside you for so many years. I supported you when you challenged Boris to be Alpha. And when it was time to pick your replacement you choose your wimp of a son to be Alpha.", Darius was in a fearsome rage; his voice thundering. His eyes emitted blue sparkles of rampage. He was about to pounce on his brother. 

"You don't have to do this Darius; we are brothers. We have always been there for each other.", William said. He staggered backwards at interval looking around him to be certain that none of the other wolves was going to attack.

"You forgot about that and relegated me to Beta; you want me to remain your puppet while your generation enjoys millenniums of fruitful empire.", Darius fastened his pace, approaching William like a thunderbolt.

"You escaped your demise five years ago during the fight with the Crimson Pack; I only got your leg. This time I want your life.", He continued.

Darius started shifting, his bones cracking; revealing a huge red ferocious Wolf. The sight of the horrific Beta sent shivers down the spine of his brother.

"Fight me brother; Fight me!", Darius bellowed and pounced on his brother.

William evaded a cut from his sharp and long claws but he found himself crawling on the floor. His leg weakened by the collision with the rough floor. 

The other Werewolves stood and enjoyed the show. Ramon who suddenly felt culpable for his betrayal bent his face in shame. But still holding on to the promises which the Beta had made him, he made no move.

William veered off from the several attempts of his brother who tried to clutch him with his claws. He figured that his brother was so eager to eliminate him and he shifted too. William revealed a white Wolf with beautiful furs and crimson eyes. He was huge but not as fast as he used to be.

A brawl issued immediately; fangs and claws gnashing out and whooshing simultaneously. William kept on defending himself but the ferocious Beta had other plans; he attacked in a wild wrath venting his spleen at his brother.

Darius made a swift attempt to tear William's fur with his fangs but he caught him off guard; held him and hurled him over to the space. Darius hit a statue in the courtyard crashing it completely. This rather didn't stop him but infuriated him the more.

William got weaker from tossing the heavy Beta. His leg shaky from imbalance. Darius noticed this and attacked, this time he went for his brother's leg. William couldn't elude his fangs.

Darius bit hard into his fur and he sprawled to the ground. William howled in pain but no one was close enough to hear him. He lay on the ground in deep pain unable to get up.

Darius rushed at him and with his fangs, slit his neck twice. Blood gushed out from the wounds in William's fur. Darius then took a sharp look at Ramon and he left.

Darius shifted back to his Human form. He walked to where his brother lay and stepped on his wound. The old Wolf cried in excruciating pain.

"How the mighty have fallen: it would be such an honor killing your son too.", Darius said with a menacing grin. It was a hideous sight; his cloths completely ripped out to expose his grisly body. His fangs dripping with the vital fluid of his brother.
