The Alpha and The Vigilante novel Chapter 62

Axel gave me a moment to recover as I slouched over slightly trying to regain control over myself. He smirked. "Thought the Gamma of Red Crescent was supposed to be unbeatable?" He antagonized me and I growled.

My wolf was dangerously close to gaining control, and I knew if she did he was a dead man.

Instead of responding, I ground my teeth and summoned a knife just to test a hypothesis. I threw the knife directly at his heart, and as I suspected, it clattered to the ground uselessly.

Axel grinned wickedly, flashing all of his canines in an act of aggression and disrespect.

He charged at me again, and instead of moving out of the way, I decided to fight strength with strength.

I punched at his jaw, hard. He flew backwards due to the force of my punch in combination with the force he was rushing at me with.

Despite sending him flying, every bone in my hand was completely crushed. That tactic would certainly lead to every bone in my body being broken.

Due to my accelerated healing though, I could feel my broken ribs slowly starting to heal, even though they hurt like a bitch.

I needed to get my right hand to heal before I could send another punch his way, so I decided to only use my left hand to fend him off until my right hand could take more hits.

He recovered from my punch, and started stalking towards me slowly, likely analyzing what I was going to do next. I decided to simply react to his strikes and avoid getting bludgeoned until my hand was ready to get a piece of the action.

When I didn't make a move, he sent a kick my way, and I did a backflip to avoid getting kicked to the ground. He swung a few more times with his fists, and I narrowly dodged all of them. He was fast, but I was slightly faster. If I didn't have that edge on him, I already would have been dead.

We continued the violent dance, and he managed to barely get a few hits in, leaving random bruises on my body.

My hand was starting to feel somewhat better, so I decided to try another method to take him down. I could tell using his power for so long was starting to make him weary, and it certainly didn't help that he kept throwing powerful punches that didn't land.

I backed up from him, and his brows furrowed i'm confused. Then, as fast as I could, I charged toward the metal man.

As I ran, I summoned a garrote wire, holding it out as wide as I could with my arms. When I was right in front of him, I did a front flip over him, but leaving my arms extended so the wire hooked around his neck.

I narrowed my eyes. You said I don't have to be carried anywhere.

"I'm asking you to let me. I will accept it if you say no, but I'm asking you to just please do as I request," Cain spoke firmly.

I weighed my options, knowing that a few pack members were listening in on what he was saying. I sighed and let him wrap the pelt around me, picking me up.

Should you call a doctor for him or something? I asked Cain, jerking my head towards Axel's lifeless body.

Cain shrugged carelessly. "He'll be fine. I'm glad you kicked his ass. He was getting way too arrogant."

I smiled, pleased with the compliment. It seems as though my mate had grown more accepting towards my affinity for violence.

Cain walked us out of the training center, and into the woods, making my curiosity spike. Where was he taking me? I couldn't put my finger on it, but the path felt vaguely familiar. It was harder to tell than it should have been for me due to all of the snow covering the grounds and trees.
