The Not So Acceptable Mate

Chapter 8: Raging Jasper

"Guys, I am telling you all now, don't block my way. If you don't want to get hurt, just get out of my way" Jasper who just arrived at the front of the Safe Wall warned the number of pack soldiers, who seemed to be waiting for his appearance, in a deep and menacing voice. By quickly scanning the crowd, he could tell they are almost a thousand in number. He gritted his teeth in annoyance when none of them took heed of his warning. They remained from their post, aligned horizontally covering the Wall at their backs, all in their wolf's form. They are vigilant of his every move by the way their eyes follow even his smallest movement.

"What shall we do now, Jasper? The pack seemed to be prepared to fight us once you insist on what you wanted to happen. But the real question is, are you prepared to fight them, your old comrades?" Dirk spoke inside his head. He seemed unthreatened by the soldiers' presence just like him. They both grew up as a fighter, so, why would they in the first place? What's bothering them though was that all these pack warriors in front of them are those whom they trained with since they were young. As much as possible, they don't want to hurt them.

'Look, guys. Just let me in for the sake of our old camaraderie. I am sure you do understand how I am feeling right now. I just miss my parents badly, that is all. After I see them and have a little talk, then I'll leave right away without creating any trouble. I knew you know now that the Alpha had denounced my right being his son, but he is still my parent. No matter what will happen, they will remain like that to me. And as a son who had been trapped away from them for a long time and without any valid reason, I just want to get near them and hug them. So, I am begging you now, allow me to enter the wall peacefully" Jasper pleaded, changing his tone from being menacing to a begging one.

"Sorry, Jasper but we've been given a very strict instruction to never allow you to pass this wall and we are bound to do just that"

Dirk hissed in frustration inside his head, matching Jasper's current emotion right now. He frowned when he sensed that one of the four wolves on the front line seemed to be giving instructions to the pack warriors through mind linking as the others made a change in their formation, clearly declaring to him that they will stop him no matter what and that they are prepared for his any attack.

Sighing in frustration, Jasper couldn't help but to grab and pull his almost shoulder-length hair now with his right hand, as if picking himself.

"Do you have to make this hard for me? It's not as if I'll hurt my parents, or worst, kill them! Guys, this is me. I'm Jasper, one of your playmates and training buddies when you were all young. You should know me better than that. I am not a bad person and wolf."

"Then do understand us as well, former future Alpha. You do know how the Alpha's command is absolute. That whatever he commands, we should follow" Haran answered in a monotone voice making Jasper more irritated.  Still, he tried to explain himself for them to see his reason.

"Yes, I knew that. But I am still his son. Do I not have the right to see them and hug them and tell them how badly I am missing them?"

"Yes, you didn't have it anymore. Just like what you had told us earlier, the Alpha already threw you out of his family. So, either you give up your desire to see them or be hurt the moment you decide to fight us" The assigned captain tried to slap Jasper with harsh reality. Maybe if he realizes the implication of his action, they could all avoid getting into more trouble.

Jasper couldn't help but chuckle sarcastically after hearing Haran's words. The man at least has the gut to say it to his face. He'll give him that. Upon seeing that the warriors in front of him are all serious about stopping him, he made a final decision. He will fight and hurt them if that is what they want. Thinking of that, his frightening alpha aura began to emerge from his human form, veins popping out of his sturdy muscles, and his sharp fangs and claws begin to grow. And with a loud snarl, as if saying "let's begin the battle", he stamps forward slowly and then sprints towards the soldiers in front of him who fail to dodge his initial and surprise attack. In just a matter of seconds, Jasper was able to defeat hundreds of soldiers. One wolf after another was blown into the air; They fell to the ground whimpering in pain. Though he has no intention of killing them, he made it sure that they will be injured. The night wind was filled with the sounds of punches, kicks, groans, and crackling bones. When Haran noticed that his squad is already losing half of its number, he gets worried. Who would have thought that despite being imprisoned for a year, Jasper could still outmatch them just like from before? And sensing they're about to lose the battle against Jasper, he immediately connected with Dimitri, their Head Captain that escorted the Alpha to his son in the dungeon.

"Haran?"

"Head Captain. Where are you now? What's taking you so long?"

"We're about to reach the front of the wall. Why?"

"The kid went berserk, unbelievably defeating more than five hundred of the soldiers already. I don't think we could still hold him that long. Please hurry up, or else he could pass through the gate already before you get here".

"Alright, got it".
