Rejected By My Mate; Claimed By Lycan Quadruplets Chapter 193
Third person POV
The air split with the sound of war drums no one had struck, the rhythm born instead from the pounding of paws against earth, the ragged breaths of warriors, and the bloodthirsty growls echoing through the night. The moon hung high, silver and merciless, bathing the battlefield in its cold light. Shadows twisted and writhed, alive with movement as the rogues swarmed across the broken bridge, spilling like a flood into enemy territory.
Enzo stood at the forefront, shoulders heaving, his jaw clenched as he surveyed the chaos spilling into his land. The betrayal of moments earlier still lingered like acid on his tongue, Lisa’s handprint stinging his cheek, but there was no time to dwell. His pack was under attack, and he was Alpha — he was their shield and their sword. His rage could wait; bloodshed could not.
Beside him, Atlas’s eyes gleamed with the barely restrained hunger for violence, his muscles coiled like a predator waiting to strike. Kael rolled his shoulders, cracking his neck, the air around him trembling with the tension he carried. Ash, steady and controlled, bore the calm before the storm, though his eyes betrayed the fire of vengeance simmering underneath.
The rogues poured forward with savage howls, their numbers greater than the brothers had expected, their stench fouling the air. They carried rusted weapons, claws caked with dried blood, and teeth bared in savage hunger. It was not a battle of strategy; it was slaughter waiting to happen.
Enzo’s lips curled back, a feral growl building deep in his chest. His eyes glowed with a molten fire, gold bleeding into crimson. He dropped low, his bones snapping, muscles ripping and reshaping as the beast beneath his skin clawed its way free. Fur burst along his back, black as the abyss, swallowing him whole until the Alpha wolf stood where the man had been — massive, towering, a living shadow crowned with eyes that burned like hellfire.
Atlas followed suit, his transformation more violent, bones cracking audibly as he snarled through the pain, welcoming it. His wolf was a mountain of muscle, grey streaked with silver that caught the moonlight like steel, his frame built for brute force. He shook himself, teeth bared, saliva dripping as he lunged forward before the shift had even fully finished.
Kael’s turn was quieter but no less terrifying. His wolf burst forth leaner, faster, built like a blade meant to cut through flesh and air alike. His coat was a deep brown with streaks of bronze glinting in the light, eyes sharp, predatory. He was the silent executioner, his every movement precise.
Ash shifted last, the process slower, controlled, his wolf emerging with deliberate grace. Pure white fur cascaded along his frame, stark and unnatural against the carnage, making him look like a spirit of death descended to the battlefield. His eyes glowed icy blue, calm yet merciless, promising no survival for those who dared defy them.
The brothers stood side by side, titans in the moonlight, wolves of legend. And then they charged.
Enzo hit first, a blur of black fur and raw power. He slammed into the first wave of rogues with a force that snapped spines on impact. His jaws clamped around a throat, tearing it free in a spray of blood that coated his muzzle. He didn’t stop. He plowed forward, crushing another beneath his weight, claws shredding ribs apart as he ripped his enemy’s heart from his chest with savage efficiency. Every strike was a statement: this was his land, and none would leave alive.
Atlas roared — not a wolf’s growl, but a sound deeper, older, a primal thunder that shook the air. He launched himself into a cluster of rogues, his sheer size turning his body into a battering ram. One swipe of his claws severed a head clean from its shoulders, the body collapsing before the mind registered death. He caught another mid-leap, biting down on its spine and shaking violently until the rogue split in two. Blood soaked his fur, his jaws, his chest, and he reveled in it, every kill fueling the storm inside him.
Kael was the blade among them, weaving through chaos with deadly elegance. He darted past a rogue’s strike, twisting midair to land atop another, his teeth sinking into the soft flesh beneath the jaw. He ripped sideways, tearing the head almost free, and before the corpse even hit the ground, he was gone, moving onto the next. His claws slashed across bellies, spilling entrails to the dirt, his speed unmatched. To fight him was to die before realizing the battle had begun.
Ash, in contrast, moved with chilling serenity. He did not thrash or rage. He killed with surgical precision. A rogue lunged; Ash stepped aside, jaws closing on the creature’s leg, snapping it like a twig before moving seamlessly to crush its skull. Another came from behind, and with one calculated leap, Ash spun, his claws slicing the rogue’s throat in a clean arc, blood spraying across his pristine white coat. He did not flinch, did not slow. Where Enzo was fury and Atlas was destruction, Ash was inevitability.
The battlefield became a canvas of carnage, painted in crimson and littered with broken bodies. The brothers carved through the enemy like a scythe through wheat, each strike a masterpiece of violence.
Enzo tore through five rogues in quick succession, his claws raking through torsos, his fangs snapping necks. One dared to stand its ground, larger than the rest, scarred from countless battles. It snarled, baring teeth as it circled him. Enzo met its gaze, unflinching, before lunging with such speed the rogue had no chance to react. His jaws clamped down on its head, crushing skull and brain in one devastating bite. He spit the fragments aside, his growl echoing through the night.
Atlas became a whirlwind of brute force. Surrounded by six rogues, he welcomed the odds with a savage grin. They leapt at once, claws and teeth aiming for his flesh. He caught one mid-air, snapping its back over his knee before spinning to crush another’s skull beneath his massive paw. He grabbed two by their throats, slamming them together with such force their necks snapped like brittle twigs. He ripped another in half with his bare claws, guts spilling onto the dirt as the last rogue hesitated, frozen in terror. Atlas stepped forward slowly, savoring the fear, before lunging to rip its head clean off.
Kael’s dance was one of death. He slipped through enemy ranks, a blur of motion. His claws carved symbols of agony across flesh, his fangs leaving trails of ruin. He leapt onto the back of a rogue, severing its spine with a clean bite before launching himself forward to tackle another to the ground. He pinned it, snarling, before tearing its stomach open and dragging his claws upward until the beast split apart. He left trails of bodies in his wake, none surviving long enough to land a single blow.
Ash stood amidst corpses like a reaper among his harvest. He moved forward with slow, deliberate steps, every motion measured. Rogues came at him in waves, desperate to overwhelm, but none succeeded. He killed with quiet efficiency — a crushed skull here, a severed jugular there. His white coat became soaked in blood, turning crimson, but he did not falter, did not rage. He was calm, methodical, unstoppable. To watch him was to watch death itself glide across the battlefield.
Together, the brothers were a storm of death, unstoppable in their fury, their unity unbreakable. The rogues faltered, their numbers dwindling rapidly, fear beginning to seep into their ranks. For every ten that fell, a hundred more pressed forward, but morale shattered as the reality sank in: they were not fighting wolves. They were fighting monsters born of wrath and sharpened by vengeance.
The ground became slick with blood, bodies piling high, the stench of iron choking the air. The night was alive with howls — rogues crying in agony, brothers roaring in triumph. The moon bore witness to the massacre, cold and indifferent.
Enzo ripped another throat, his muzzle dripping with gore. He turned, scanning for the next kill, his chest heaving. Across the field, he saw Atlas’s towering form ripping apart another wave, Kael a blur of bronze death, Ash a white specter drenched in crimson. His brothers — his pack — his pride.
The rogues tried to retreat, but there was no mercy. Not tonight. Not ever. The brothers gave chase, relentless, cutting down every straggler. Flesh tore, bones shattered, screams filled the night until at last silence reigned, broken only by the growls of the victors standing amidst the carnage they had wrought.
The battlefield was theirs.
And the brothers stood, blood-soaked and unyielding, gods of war cloaked in fur and fury, their glory written in the corpses at their feet.
