It was noon, in a dark, large clearing. The battle between Ares and Yeris was fought here, and there was still some ten месяц old blood stains on the ground. On the north side were Zelian's ranks. On the other, Beke's. Zelian stepped вперед to meet Beke.

"So, we can fight, или talk this out. When I came to Ты looking for Ответы to my relentless nightmares, I had no idea Ты were planning to launch an invasion on my pack. As Ты have probably now heard, I am the reborn of Ares, which is the reason why I was having those nightmares of him. One thing is for sure, I know what he knows in battle, but the difference is, I don't have his weaknesses. My mother may be dead, but I have gotten over it. At least I knew her, Ares didn't until later. Second, I can deal with pain a LOT еще than Ares. So, what is it? Fight, или talk?" Zelian asked.

Beke was wide eyed. No, I did not hear. But that does not matter, I was always еще skilled in battle than Ares anyways." she said.

Zelian grinned. "Oh, but I am еще skilled than he was too." he said.

"Oh, but I don't want a fight, Ты see. I wanted alliances. I am seeking vengeance, on behalf of Ares' death. Ты see, when Ares was killed, it gave me a sudden urge to need to have joint leaders, and alone in my pack, there is no one that is eligible to take the job. So, when I heard that Ты were a strong leader, and that Ты were Ares' reborn, I saw my chance to take action. But, if Ты do not accept, I DO know that there are Волки in your pack who would gladly take YOUR place as joint leader with me when I destroy Ты for rejecting my offer. So, what is it? Accept, или decline?" Beke asked, serious.

"And what shall I gain from alligencing myself with you?" Zelian questioned.

"Power, glory, fame, Ты name it. We can achieve anything as joint leaders." Beke told him, looking smug.

"Never. Fight us, if Ты dare. I really don't care if I have a few traitors in our midst. I DARE Ты to fight us. Oh, and remember that shape shifter волк that practically tried to kill Ares and Claudette, and drive Ты and your family out? No need to call names, but I am also a shape shifter. There are a variety of things I could shift into, things that could potentially wipe out a quarter of your army on its own. So, think twice when accepting my battle challenge." Zelian said, a little too self confident.

But, without even thinking, Beke lashed hew tail forward, signaling her lot to attack. She smiled, then ran towards her back lines.

As a response, Zelian's army charged as a counter. And to everyone's surprise, when one волк charged Zelian, he instantly started to change, and was a full on grizzly bear, making everyone wide eyed. Zelian retaliated to the wopf's attack by knocking her upside the head, and she fell, dead.

"Anyone else?" He asked, in a low rumbling voice.

"Me. See, what Ты do not understand is, the, OTHER shape shifter, no need for naming, gathered this band of ex-millitary humans. They were вверх of the line special ops. Now, if Ты want to shift into a human, they will gladly give Ты a weapon, most likely a gun. Go on, shift, and ask them for one." As she сказал(-а) all that, she motioned her tail forward, and about a dozen humand came out of the trees, all males, all armed with advanced weapons.

"I shall do just that. Do me a favor. If I fight them, it is none of your buisness, so stay out of my fight. It's just me and them. Zelian said, shifting into a human.

One of the men looked at him. "Ha! As a волк and bear, Ты look like Ты were an adult. But look at you! Your just a kid!" He said.

Zelian looked at him. "What is a kid? I have never heard of that word before." He said.

"Oh, sorry. I meant pup. My bad. So, what is even going on? We were never told anything. The one who recruited us is now dead, so none of these Волки here can communicate with us, except for you." He said. "Oh, and my name is John." He added.

"Wait... so, Ты don't even know what's going on, yet Ты are still here? Well, I'll tell Ты what is going on. Ты know the волк Ты are fighting for, Beke? She is evil, and if Ты think Ты are doing anything good think again." Zelian said, and went on to tell the rest of the story. As be did, John started to look surprised.

"Wow. Well, if this is really the case, we fight for whoever we think is right, and good. And we now see we were wrong to pick Beke. We will fight for you. In fact, watch this. Ты want Beke dead или alive, eh?" He asked.

"Dead." He said.

Without hesitating, John took his gun, and shot Beke, who was battling with Nabara, and the bullet hit her right in her ribs.

Beke stopped fighting and let out a high, loud wailing sound, and tossed and turned fiercely on the ground.

She stopped wailing, and after just a few seconds, stopped moving.

"Noo! I... Aargh!!! Stupid humans! I should have never trusted... I don't want to die... not... like this... I can't... feel... my body..." she stopped talking, but when she tried to get back up, John cake over with a knife, and she knew it was over.

"No! Somethng else! Not this! Zelian, tell him not that! I... I'll... I'll be your prisoner! Something... just don't kill me..." she pleaded.

"End it." Zelian told John.

Without hesitation, John took the knife, and repeatedly stabbed Beke in the hip, and then in the chest, brutally.

"What? I didn't mean like that! Bad choice. We don't do things like Ты do. Attack them! Attack these humans! They showed no respect when killing, and acted like it was fun! Charge them!" Zelian ordered, and as Beke's pack realised she was dead, they started to stop fighting, and turned and charged at the humans.

Zelian looked at John, and ran, knocking him off balance, and took his the knife, and repeatedly stabbed HIM, and it was all over.
