Ring out the old

The words were intricately engraved on a cracked piece of a neatly cut square wood. The detailed letters were covered with a glossy reddish-brown liquid, freshly dried blood. The smell was imperceptible as usual, but the colour indicated that it was still fresh.

The meaning behind the words was subtle just as the whiff of the metallic liquid. How was the culprit getting away with this unnoticed? I mean there had been pack members around the pack meeting grounds, yet none of them had seen anything bizarre.

'That is because it's one of us. ' My wolf pushed forward, I could feel him wiggling his tail eager to engage me in a conversation.

'What are you talking about? ' I questioned my innate wolf in my sub conscious but as a barrage of thoughts began to bombard my mind, I suddenly figured it out.

'Summon every damn warrior now! ' I barked out the order to Theo who stood beside me at the pack meeting grounds. I could feel my wolf begin to push, wanting to take over my body in an outrageous bloodlust.

The mere ideation of one of my pack members turning out to be a traitor let the Alpha wolf out. As my beast domineered my flesh and consciousness, my own was pushed to the farthest end. He wanted to find out who and why, his raw power would scare the culprit, no doubt about that.

I knew that my eyes had turned completely black, the beast consciousness was out to play. Soon he would take over my flesh and stand on his legs with his paws and daws planted powerfully on the ground beneath my feet.

'Alpha! ' Beta Jayson came jogging with Mateo the lead enforcer and Tyron closely behind him and the rest of the warriors. My wolf puffed out his chest in appreciation at the respect our Beta had displayed.

As they lined up before me and my inescapable scrutiny, my beast and I sent out potent prodigious Alpha aura that brought every single one of them on one knee. The extent of the Alpha waves of power in the atmosphere elicited awes from them. Their heads were bowed before me, with their eyes avoiding my beastly ones.

My beast and I meant business.

'A traitor liveth amongst us. ' Our thunderous voice resounded on the open area.

'Let it be known that the impostor has to be brought before me, whether alive or dead. ' Murmurs spread out amongst the men, majority itching to lay their hands on the mut who dared betray the pack and all it's members.

'Silence!' Our authoritative voice passed out an order, making every single warrior quiet down instantly.

'A traitor shall die by his own tongue, his own sense of taste will be his undoing. ' We recited the pack rule listening carefully for any spike in their heartbeats.

Then we heard it, a heart beat faster than the rest amongst the men that kneeled before me. He was here, the pulse said it all, a guilty person could hide behind his facade, but his heart would always be truthful.

The heart never lies

Tamara's mother had told me that as she lay on her death bed. As the poison consumed her spirit and flesh, her mouth uttered words of wisdom. The words had become handy now, like she said, the organ confirmed it all.

Present was he, a man so vile to betray his own family.

We tried singling out the heart beat, tried putting a face to it but my wolf and I failed to pinpoint it. Our focus was on point and yet this task proved itself difficult for our enhanced sense of hearing. We walked along the lines in front of them listening intently with unwavering focus.
