Chapter 11 

Axton POV 

A few hours earlier 

Derrick got me good, yet it didn‘t save him from Khan. He knew it was all over the moment I shifted. Khan was a savage and feared by most Alpha‘s in the city, and now Derrick knew why. I put up with his shit long enough, but to do that to his own daughter, my mate, he had to know it was coming. 

“Will you sit still?” Eli hissed at me as he tried to stitch my arm. We were currently at the Council. I had been placed out the back after the fight broke out in chambers with Alpha Derrick. I got escorted out back while he got escorted to the hospital. Luckily for him, Elena was not in the same hospital because | would have finished what I started; I would have let Khan end him and take his pack, and banished his mate from the city. 

“It‘s just a scratch,” I tell him looking at my arm, the tissue protruding out like it was opened with a can opener. 

“It is too deep to heal on its own, fucking stay still,” I roll my eyes at him, I have had worse and I was anxious to get back to check on my mate. I was hoping to take her back to the packhouse tonight. 

Hearing the door open. Elder Stiles, former Alpha of the Crident 

Pack before his son took over from him, stepped inside. His black robe, which I found rather outdated, no way would they catch me wearing those old robes. I don‘t give a fuck about their boring traditions. That dusty old robe looked older than him, and that was saying something. 

He looked as if he already had one foot in the grave, and his skin reminded me of moth–eaten silk. His complexion would make Casper the ghost jealous, with its transparency, every vein prominent beneath his skin, to go with the white hair barely hanging onto his scalp. Werewolves age way slower once hitting adulthood. When we moved to the city, Eli told me Stiles was 183 years old, and he fucking looked it. 

Alpha Axton,” Elder Stile says, stepping into the room with hands clasped in front of him. 

“Elder,” I nod respectively. He sucks in a deep breath letting it out slowly. 

“Neutral territory, son,” he says slowly, letting those words sink in. 

“He swung first,” I had all intentions of getting the bastard as he left. 

“I know, but we have rules for a reason. Neutral ground is a safe place for packs to discuss: Alpha Derrick was being removed from the Council, not just for Elena‘s involvement with you but
