Chapter 2. Mysterious princess
Alpha king Alan's POV
"I am moving toward the south, you go to the west. I want the herbs today anyway. It is very difficult to see the cubs infected!" My beta was connected with me on our mind link.
We were in the Vesium woods of my Brave Blood Pack looking for this curative herb commonly known as Giant Dodder or Cuscuta reflexa that heals infections like shingles. "Understood Alan." Three percent of cubs in my pack have been caught up in an epidemic that has infected their skin with shingle-like disease and it is only increasing.
Yesterday, I attended the fourth death in a row in the last week. My doctors tried to make antidote but it is incomplete with this Curative herb that can heal their skin within the consummation of a night and here I, Alan Alvares, the alpha male of my Brave Blood Pack am here looking for the same so that the cubs can be cured from the epidemics.
Twenty six years of my life has been a journey filled with adventures, memories and a bitter truth. I have had everything I wished for except a mate. Yeah, that is fucking true. Alan Alvares is a mate-less alpha who has now given up on the thought of having a mate.
I have searched in the worst corner of the world for her unfortunately, everytime I came back empty handed. It is not only limited to searching in the worst environment but also the infinite mating balls I attended till I was twenty four However, two years ago I decided to just quit.
In fact, I met many she-wolfs on my parents' insistence after quitting but to no avail. Like any other time I came back alone. None of them suited me. It is even not that I am a cruel badass alpha like how we are often described.
Okay, okay I am sorry to lie about that, I acknowledge I am a heck of a cruel badass alpha but I do have a pleasing personality too. Also, a fierce aura around me that everyone is frightened of still- I am as good as my father- kind and polite alpha who can do anything to finish off the work in any situation.
For instance, this one. Where I have come to find the herb before evening otherwise Adrian, my beta's little brother will lose his life. He is one of the infected.
In fact I will not hesitate accepting that I committed many murders, destroyed many lives, slaved people for disrespecting me, had hot mistresses and even had sex with other Alphas' mates while being on important trips like Fete Faction (A kind of meet and greet of Alphas for the betterment of relationships between their packs) but still i have reserved my heart for my mate, who is yet to come in my life. I even made out during wars haha.
And currently, I have a mistress Jenny Bob who is as good as anything in bed. Well don't get Mr wrong, I didn't want her. In fact, I never wanted to bring any other she-wolf in my bed except for my mate. It is just that, since I could not find my mate I got myself mistress out of frustration.
I mean, I am eagerly waiting for her but I don't know where she is. It's been years and I haven't found her. Ugh, it was frustrating and annoying for Alois and to satisfy my anger, I took Jenny for a mistress. You can't expect a handsome alpha like me to stay alone, can you?
I found her during a trip to Canada. She was with a friend. She caught my attention when we bumped near the pool side and she showed her interest in me. And as that trip was the last of my quest to find my mate, I returned home with Jenny when I couldn't find that bloody mate of mine.
Bringing Jenny was not planned but I have promised myself that after I find her, my Luna, I will never look at any other female. I will give my all to her. Even Jenny knows that. It was her pure will to serve herself to me when I made everything clear to her. When the time comes, she knows that she will have to leave.
Yeah, I know that sounds unbelievable. Like how can an alpha male be so loyal rather than being a horny dick but here I am.
I have promised to myself I will love her more than anything in life. Also, change to a better partner as per her wishes. I will leave my bad habits and be an ideal mate for her. I promise.
What the heck am I even thinking! I need to look for the plant now. Alan focus, focus hard.
From Climbing the trees to lifting the rocks, crossing the stream to digging the land I did everything albeit, I can't find the herb. "Addy, did you get something! I am still unsuccessful." As after I rested my butt on the rock in order to catch some calm breaths I connected to him again.
I heard him sigh amidst his reply, "No I am still searching. Alan, my brother will be fine right!" My back straightened in concern, feeling his pain. His voice was laced with deadly agony.
"Obviously he will be! Don't forget what my father used to say during our training, 'Lose everything in life but hope as it is the only thing that keeps the world and lives going.' So stop being an ass. Get up and do yo-"
I had to stop abruptly, I could hear someone's breaths right behind my back. "Addy there is someone behind me."
" What! Wait, what is it! "
" I don't know. I am sitting on a rock and on my back I have bushes, I can feel someone's warmth hitting me. And the smell-fuck!"
"What! (concerned) Alan, what smell! Tell me."
I cannot speak anything! Whether to be happy or shocked, I was just confused. The smell of dragon fruit and Yarrow flower felt so prodigious and- hypnotizing. "Mate!!! Alan, it is our mate! She is... She is finally here, I can smell a strong wolf. She is fierce and strong, just like you!"
Can't cease that contending smile appearing on my lips. So finally after years of search, she is here. My mate, my better half.
" You bitchy alpha, speak up! What kind of smell is that? Is it fresh blood? There might be rogues around you. Or an animal!" Adrian shouted on the link that even my neurons pained whilst sending the message. "Just try to handle it, I will be the-"
"Alan, careful!" My wolf, Alois, screamed that I had to turn around.
No sooner did I make a move than my gaze fell on the blade of a hunter's wooden knife being aimed right over my heart..
"Ohh! That was hot!" My breaths stuck in my throat, eyes staring at the face that I have been waiting to spare my glance on since ages as I quickly with extraordinary speed pounced her wrist hence putting her attack in vain.
Her eyes held fear and courage, both. The fear of being killed as my grip was getting tighter and tighter under her effect and courage as though she was not someone who would give up so easily. My typical mate type!
"Let go of my hand, you bastard!!!"
"Ohh so she has a sharp tongue. Alan, We will have to be careful if we have to sustain our lives with her! I am in love with her."
She attempted to shout while struggling to free her hand and that is when I realized she was actually shivering.
Her eyes had a depth that screamed of her fears. I pulled her close, giving her appearance a close look. She was draped in a torn cloak above a royal gown defining her class. She must be someone from a royal family! But, why here in the middle of the woods in such condition? I wondered.
My mate, my fierce mate was finally in front of me. I cannot stop smiling even though she was cursing and abusing me. Her free hand did its work of scratching my skin with her broken, damaged nails. However, what made me stop smiling was her face. There was a cut on the left corner of her lips, a scratch on her right cheek and a bleeding wound on her forehead.
"Why are you injured!" Although it was not the time to ask that as it was just adding up to her feared expressions yet the wolf inside me can't tame himself. She seemed to be on the verge of crying. "Did you run away from your house!" My heart was disappointingly burning in fury.
After a thorough search for years when I at length furnished my mate, I gotta see her oozing lips and bleeding damaged face! What the heck, Is that how I was destined to meet my Luna, moon goddess! The sight of her blood bled my heart. "Let me go you filthy dirty rogue! Just leave my hand and stop asking me questions as if you are my mate.
Yes, I am your mate. I wanted to say but I kept mum.
She breathed heavily ignoring my interrogation that I had to divert my eyes away from her body.
Because the way her full attractive chest went up and down, it seemingly made it difficult for me to stay in control. I fixed my eyes on a trunk of a tree in the fro- freaking goodness, Cuscuta reflexa, the herb that I have been looking for!
"She is so lucky for us, Alan."
My attention was diverted and that is what she took the advantage of and stabbed the wooden knife in my arm. "Ahhh Ahhh" I fell to the ground as the pain ran through the length of my arm. I haven't consumed any antidotes before coming here, so it crumpled the cells of my skin severely, amplifying the pain.
Notwithstanding, I ain't not letting her go anywhere! It took me fucking years to find her and I appreciate her courage that she bravely attacked me (I wished for a fierce mate after all) but, she should know she is not anymore free. She is my possession and I will not let her go anywhere.
Little beautiful mate, you think I am a rogue, right! Let's play like one now!
(And he got on his legs, chasing her like a predator after a prey.)
Tbc...

3. Shit, She's In Danger!Alan ran faster than the speed which the light passes with, cutting through the trees, crushing the leaves under his feet and following her smell with a bleeding arm. He shot his eyes in his surroundings to look for her. She hardly ran for a few seconds then also it seemingly occurred difficult to search her.Inhaling a breath of disappointment with his failure for not being able to find her, Alan growled loudly. His dangerous roar resonated in the forest. "Where can she go all of a sudden!" he roamed here and there, insanely breathing like a monster.His fierce wolf was about to take control of him since he was more powerful than his human form, crazy and lunatic. But Alan anyway attempted to keep his wolf in control and find her on his own. However, the more his eyes roamed in the context to spot her figure the madder Alois grew.'Let me take over Alan, I don't w
4. SO!!! Continue With Your Little Rogue Game.Cruel!Cruel!Fucking cruel!Yeah that is what you would call your fate if you end up being feared by the one you are supposed to be loved! The veins of your body pop out in vexation and your heart stops beating at its usual pace when you see your mate laying under a tree unconscious and shivering with fear."Where the fuck have you been, Adrian!" Anger was adamant in every word he spoke, his irises staring murderously at his beta as if he would be under his grave sooner or later. "Do you have any idea how mad I am?" huffing with deep breaths, he inhaled the stale air again and again as he demanded for a real solid reason from his beta.On the contrary, the clueless beta who just arrived after searching for his alpha for a period that seemed longer than a decade b
5. He Is... Caring. Pain was the very first thing she felt after unlatching her lashes. Luckily there was no sudden light cutting her vision. So it was easy for her to adjust within the atmosphere. Lisa hissed woefully when she attempted to move her left hand, it was paining badly as if it was pushed inside hot boiling water. Her irises itched. She rubbed her eyes when she sensed that her body was cocooned in warmth. She looked across from her, taking small breaths and realized her position. She was lying peacefully under a tree with a bonfire near her feet whose flames kept her warm while the winds floated in her direction. She was taken aback when the realization hit her. It was not because she was in better condition now but because her black cloak was removed and her shoulderless gown was put at view. It was torn from the side like a natural slit on a gown. Lisa's cheeks heated up. Her muscles tensed up, she quickly covered her body with her hands as soon as her eyes met wi
6. Freak, That Was A Dream! "Uh, hey... You... Are... You are hurting me" An announcement made by her soft shaky voice was enough to pull him back to reality. Alan batted his cilium blankly, his mind trying to register what she just spoke as he looked around them. "Ohh, I am sorry." he moved backwards realizing where his hands were. He had pulled her gown upward just above her mid thigh. Lisa had to hold his hand in order to prevent him from invading her privacy. Alan looked away giving her her time to adjust with the circumstances but still, the happiness on his face was worth admiring. He was happy. He couldn't think if he had been this happy ever before in his life. She, his mate, whom he had searched for all his life has started trusting him. It was a stepping stone toward his success. She was a big waking mystery that he found in the daylight. What did she do
7. Please Leave. Lisa's Pov In the befallen dark night I was standing quietly in my place hugging my washed cloak tightly. The temperature was low. It was making my skin feel the agony of coldness. Surely I would have died if I were to stay in such a situation alone but the rogue guy and his company kept me warm. He was busy giving a final touch to our diy abode. He made it real quick without wasting any time. The way his heavy iron-like hands cut the bamboo with the axe, the area around him rippled and dust filled the air. Just a few hours and I already started trusting him for his loyalty. He was not really loyal to me but after he saved me from the panther despite me attacking him, it made me realize that he was reliable. And that he could keep me safe until I got my wolf back. Without a wolf I was as helpless as a newbo
8. Gorgon Wolves, Really? Alan's POV… I left her standing there and marched toward the abode I had prepared for her. But, it looks like I will be using it all by myself. Unlike how I had assumed the both of us to be in its shadow. Her eyes were glued on me, I can smell her growing tension after I made it clear to her that she can leave. Agreeably I wanted her to stay with me as she was my better half nevertheless I strongly oppose the way she was behaving with me. I was stupid to say that. Wasn't that true though? She was a girl... And my mate, and I were curious to live with her in this jungle until she decided to tell me her story. From the look on her face I understood long ago that she was in danger. The blood on her forehead, cut on her lips and her mesmerizing royal gown told the back story
Chapter 9 My Love, My Beta Crossing the two valleys and a freaking distance of hundreds of kilometres, Adrian finally reached the pack palace located in Braveland, the capital of Brave Blood Pack. He neither paused nor stopped for a break from his ceaseless running even though it took him the whole day. Now the night was up with the full moon shining high in the sky that became the source of light for him. He had seen two cubs departing their bodies coz of the epidemic that caught them. Their memory haunted him. His brother was on a dead bed too, suffering from the same disease and waiting for his brother. In fact the disease was unknown which made it difficult for them to find a solution. But thanks to the medical team of the pack that worked day and night for three days rig
10. Let Me Stay With You Emotions were far away from Alan's face. It was impossible to believe what he was seeing in front of him. "They will kill me. They will eat me alive." Alan gulped his saliva, feeling scared himself. Lisa behind him, sobbed holding onto him hopefully. There was a pack of four Gorgon Wolves. The animals who were talked about in the myths of the wolves by the ancestors and in the history of wolves revolution... Were here for real. They were surreally standing in front of them as they drooled and smelled them. They had the body as that of a wolf just as described in the books by the scholars and moving hissing snakes on their heads like the Gorgons between their ears looking horribly scary. "Fuck, I never knew I will encounter such a creature in real life." Alan uttered unbelievably whilst darting his eyes on them with no blink. He
