The forced one

Sneak attack

The only reason why Eddie woke up was because he felt someone looking at him.

He thought it was Alicia until he felt a slap against his face.

Surprised, his eyes flew open, and there was Lucas, a strange look of fury and desperation on his face.

"Wake up, motherfucker." he said though gritted teeth.

"What-Lucas, what the hell are you doing here?" Eddie said, sitting up as Alicia woke up too, her expression confused, then guarded.

"Who are you? How'd you get in here?" Alicia asked, and Lucas wasted no time to pressing a blade against her throat.

Alicia cried out, a crazed look in Lucas's eyes.

"Don't say nothing, skank, and you won't get hurt." he threatened, Alicia's eyes going dark as she looked at him.

Eddie held on to her elbow, shaking his head, then turning his head to Lucas.

"What do you want now? Did your alpha send you here?" he asked, and Lucas scoffed, sounding a bit unhinged.

"That asshole doesn't give a shit about me. I was only leverage to make your life miserable." Lucas stated, more of the crazy entering in his voice.

"Still doesn't answer why you're here." Alicia said stiffly, and Lucas threw a lamp against the wall, glowering at her. She didn't even flinch.

"I can't compete and you're the owner of the fight club, Eddie. I want you to change the rules." he stated, hands balled into fists.

"Are you fucking dumb or something? You're fighting humans not werewolves. I ain't changing jack shit." he replied, and Lucas let out a frustrated sigh, pinching his nose bridge.

"I really didn't want to fucking do this, but it seems that my hands are tied." pressing a button on the side of his head, a strange whistle sounding out, windows shattering.

Eddie shielded Alicia from the glass, feeling cuts go on his arm and face.

Doors burst through, and Joseph's pack charged through, pulling the rest of Eddie's pack off of their beds.

Fights broke out, and Joseph stepped through, a smirk on his face.

"Nice work, bait. Now get the fuck out there, and help the others." he said.

Lucas did as he was told, only stopping to stare at Eddie for a beat longer, and then disappearing out the doorway.

Joseph casually strolled in, his eyes going from Eddie to Alicia. He looked her up and down, licking his lips, and Alicia ducked behind trembling a bit.

Seeing her do this, Joseph took a step closer.

No longer able to ignore the wolfish desire to defend his mate, and his territory, Eddie stood up, nearing close to Joseph.

"Get the fuck out, and you'll live." Eddie threatened, hands balled into fists as he bumped his chest against Joseph's.

Joseph merely smiled. "Let me take your mate off your hands, and then I'll think about it."

Eddie snapped; he charged at Joseph, shoving him down to the ground, eyes wild, teeth sharpened. Joseph reacted accordingly, his massive wolf form almost taking up the whole room.

This didn't scare Eddie at all; he launched himself at Joseph, snarling into his wolf form, their mouths snapping at one another as the walls were smashed as each one fought for the upper hand.

At one point, the tumbled out through the wall closest to the window, landing outside in the grass, their forms tangled as they bit in every available skin there was.

Eddie managed to be on top as his teeth sank into the side of Jospeh's neck, slamming his head down over and over again.

Joseph struggled to be freed, swiping at Eddie with his paws, and claws, but it was to no use. He howled, catching the attention of his pack, and they all came at once to Eddie.

Horrendous; Joseph's pack tore into Eddie, causing him to let go of Joseph who scrambled away, blood dripping on the side of his neck. He whimpered, and growled, his fur standing on edge.

Joseph's pack took turns biting Eddie on his hind legs, his fur, and trying to grab him into the death hold as he had Joseph in.

In a flash, four streaks crossed the threshold, and slammed into each of Joseph's pack, causing them to fal to the side.

Eddie's pack had come to the rescue, their growls, and barks taking over, as they stepped in and pulled back the pack from attacking all at once at Eddie.

Eddie's eyes locked on Joseph and he ran towards him, tackling him the furthest from the house, a sickening crunch sounding out.

Joseph let out a yelp, trying to pull away from Eddie who had him in a body lock.

As Eddie looked over Joseph, he grimaced seeing Joseph's paw twisted at the wrist, the paw and claws in a direction no hand should ever be.

"I warned you to stay away from my home but you didn't listen. Now, you're just going to pay." Eddie snarled in Joseph's face, some spittle landing on Joseph's nose.

And then a shot rang out, causing the chaos to cease.

Frantic eyes searched for the noise, noses in the air trying to sniff out the danger.

Then another shot rang out, a bullet flying a little over Joseph's shoulder, and as Eddie looked for the person that shot it, his eyes widened at the sight of his poor, injured wife.

She had a grim face, pointing at the gun at Joseph who began to shake like a leaf.

"I know you can survive most things but not this. These are silver bullets and I'm going to shoot every single one of them into she threatened, causing Joseph to shake even more as if he realized that he did have a weakness and a short woman was exploiting it just because.

Even the fight between the packs ceased, as they all stared Alicia, waiting to see what she was going to do next. Joseph's pack kept their distance, not trying to get in the way of them both.
