“Get your dogs out of here Zane and try to train them well next time.” The devil alpha says without even looking at us. Alpha Zane gave Aunt Nora a look and she pulled us out of the room closing the door behind us. She drags us all the way to the kitchen before letting go of our arms. “Do you two understand how much trouble you have just put me in?” she asks but none of us answer.
I am shaking with fear and Lizzy is no different. She sighs then move to the other side of the counter then open the cupboard and took out two cups. She fills both with water then add sugar. “Here, drink this, it will help with the shock.” She hands us the cups and we took them and drank then gave her the empty cups when we are done.
“Come let’s go to the lounge.” We do not say anything but follow her to the lounge and sat. Lizzy is next to me while she is sitting opposite us. “How are you feeling now?” she asked, and I sighed rubbing my hands on my jeans. “He called us dogs.” Says Lizzy. “He did but he is also a werewolf and if we are dogs then he is one too.” I do not think Lizzy needed an answer to her statement, but Aunt Nora gave one anyway.
“His eyes look dead and cold.” There is nothing that frightened me more than seeing those eyes and that stone cold face even if it was for just a moment before he looked away. I have never seen a living wolf looking like that, even the rejected ones or those who lost their mates through death do not have that kind of look.
“That might be the results of what he went through, enough with that now, let’s not talk about it and you won’t have to see him ever again.” I wish I could erase the memory of his face from my mind and maybe I can be at ease and live my life as I normally did. But for some reason I feel like I will see more of the devil alpha in the future.
“Rogues!” someone calls out and I jump to my feet then ran to the door. When I get outside, I see four rogues fighting with two of our warriors. I know they are as good as dead. I get out and then I see three more. How did they cross out borders? ‘Everyone, about fifteen rogues managed to get into our lands, protect the pups.’ Alpha Zane’s voice says through the mind l**k.
Everyone here is well trained and can protect themselves. Except for the pups and pregnant she-wolves. I know that the warriors dedicated to the task are already executing it. so, I jump off the stairs then one of the rogues snaps its head in my direction. He looks at me for a moment before he comes charging at me and I took my fighting stance.
I do not shift but remain in my human form, he jumps coming for my throat and I moved my head slightly when he was close enough then held his back legs twist then threw him on the ground and he landed with a loud thud. He whimpers but before he could get up, I was already hovering on top of him then quickly snapped his head. I looked around for more but there is none, just bodies of those that were killed.
I do not understand how they still have guts to come here when the others have never come back after crossing our borders. I pull him by the leg then dump him with the others. “Outstanding job as usual kid.” I grin looking at one of the few people I get along with in this pack Mason. “Want me to prove to you again that am not a kid?” I raised an eyebrow looking at him.
He called me a kid in training last week and I challenged him to a match. Of course, I won but I also know that he was taking it easy on me. “No need, am still older than you.” He winks at me after saying that and I shook my heard. Then unusual silence follows, and I feel the hairs at the back of my neck getting up. I stiffened at the fear that raise from the pit of my stomach because this is not the first time, I felt this way today.
“Is everyone alright?” Asks alpha Zane but I do not lift my head to look at his direction because I can feel that he is not alone. “Everyone is fine alpha.” Mason answers, I try to not get noticed as take small steps backwards. “No so useless after all little pup.” I froze, his voice is rough to my ears and his breath smells like he has just eaten raw meat.
“This one fights well alpha Zane; I think that she will be a good addition to my pack.” I cringed when he said that I know that our pack trains good warriors and other packs would come and ask for a few of us to go and assist with whatever issue they have then come back. I wonder why the devil alpha needs warriors; I mean he is scary enough for everyone to fear him and his pack. Even rogues.
So why does he need warriors? “Indeed, she is one of our best. But I do not think she will be suitable for what you need, we do have special elites for that.” Special elites? That team of warriors is only trained to help with issues regarding witches and vampires. Does he have an issue with them maybe? “On the contrary, her speed is remarkable and her ability to think on her feet is also admirable. I want her.” he insists.
I think he just gave me a compliment, but I could be sure, my fear of him is clouding everything that is being said and all I keep hearing is ‘I want her’ “Alpha Deluca, please reconsider. She will get killed because she is not trained for such things.” Alpha Zane tries to persuade him again but from what I have heard about the devil alpha, he will not change his mind and then I am as good as dead.
Beads of sweat instantly form on my forehead when I think about that. “She won’t be the first one to die or the last. Also, if she dies then I can always come back and get another one.” After hearing that I forced my self to look up at my father, the devil alpha is behind me and alpha Zane and my dad in front of me. My father had his hands bailed into fists; I can tell that he is angry, but he has no say in this.
If alpha Zane fails to convince the devil alpha, then there is nothing he can do to stop this from happening. He can feel my eyes on him, but he refuses to look at me. I want him to look at me so that he can see that I do not blame him for any of this. “I would feel comfortable if you get exactly what you came here for, which is an elite warrior, and she is not one.” Alpha Zane tries again.
“If I were to take her away right now, would you dare to stop me alpha Zane?” I can hear a challenge in his voice, of course alpha Zane would not stop him. At what cost would he stop him? Many would die including him. “I take your silence as a no and if that is the case then, I shall take my leave. Good day alpha Zane.” Before I could register what is happening, he is already pulling me towards the car.
His hold on my feels so tight and I know that I could never escape even if I tried. I look at my dad and his eyes are red. He does not look at me for long before he walks away just when I am shoved roughly into the track. I look out the window, Lizzy, Mason, and Aunt Nora are standing by the door looking at me with pity in their eyes.
I force a smile then wave at them, at least if I die then I would have said my goodbyes. I wish my mother were here so that I can say goodbye to her as well, but I know my dad is going to tell her now. Oh, my poor mother, I can image how she would feel when she learns of this. The truck starts moving and it’s just the two of us here. ‘Oh, Goddess, please protect me.’ I say a little prayer hoping that the moon Goddess would hear me.
“I can smell your fear pup and it’s bothering me. You don’t want me to be bothered believe me it won’t end well for you.” My heart sank when he said that. Goddess how do I stop fearing him?
I closed my eyes trying to think about something else other than where I am. I do not want to trigger the devil alpha and my fear of him will be a trigger as he already told me, and I do not want to find out what he will do when he is triggered. I mean the man already said that he does not care if I died, and I do not want to die at least not yet. I have dreams that I still want to fulfil.My mind takes me back to the pack, to Liz and Mason. Our lazy afternoons by the river and our walks to school. I find myself smiling at the memories, then my mind drifts off to my mom, sigh, she is going to be very heartbroken, I just hope that I do not die so that I can see her again and this alpha did not even give me a chance to pack a few things. What the hell am I going to wear when I get there?I do not think that he will be generous enough to buy me clothes while am there. He might just let me stay in these clothes for however long he will keep me. Sigh, I will look like a hom
The next morning Zoe woke up early around four in the morning then went out to find somewhere to train. Just because she was here it did not mean she can slack and not train. She is a warrior and warriors trained every day. She found the training grounds easily and was glad there was no one else around. She trained for about an hour then stopped and went back to the room she was given.She showered then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, there was no one in the kitchen yet so she started on her own. She took out the ingredients and started making the muffins aunt Nora used to make for them. Blueberry and chocolate muffin. Then she made pan cakes, eggs, beacon, toast, sliced cucumber, tomatoes, some fruits then made freshly squeezed orange juice.The two other omegas came in while she was looking for plates to set the huge table. “Sorry we are late, we overslept.” The other one apologized. “Smells so good in here, did you make all th
LukaI woke up at four am and went hunting before everyone woke up. But it seemed that I was not the only one, the girl was training. I stood there for a while watching her train. She is good but she could improve on a few things. I got tired of just watching and went to her. “You have speed, but you are not using it well. Come train with me and I will show you.” I said when I got behind her.She stiffened when she heard my voice then turned slowly. She is a short little thing but fierce at the same time. I do not know why she fears me so much and why it makes me angry. She is not the first to fear me and fear fuels me. But her fear makes me sick, it makes me feel like a monster and I never minded that before she came along.“Are you just going to stand there or are we going to train.” I am angry, she is shaking like a leaf being blown by the wind. Why the hell is she so scared of me? I don’t have scars on my face, I am just huge, s
LukaAfter breakfast, which was delicious by the way, JP walked me out. We spoke about things that needed to be taken care of in the pack while am away then I shifted into my wolf form and ran into the forest. My wolf is more than happy to be out as he did not get a chance to come out in morning because I was busy training her.His large paws left prints wherever we step, he sniffed the air the let out a howl. After that we started running at high speed, we were both anxious to get there and see the pack. We both missed the pups and our mother. My friend Xander, he was one wolf that accepted me from the moment he saw me, while others wanted me dead.They grew to love me though, trust and depend on me. I had more ways to protect the pack than any of them did and that is because of my human side. Now they do not see my human side as a weakness but a strength. I started to feel the change in the air the closer we got to the mountain and that seemed to fuel my wolf
Zoe woke on early as usual and went for a run. When she came back, she went to the training grounds and started training. She spent an hour and a half training. She missed her friends so much, by now Mason would be teasing her and provoking her until she agrees to spar with him. They would go on while Lizzy played the couch, a bias one at that and she would always win. Then go to her home or Lizzy’s for breakfast before going on patrol.Oh, how she missed doing patrols at the borders of her pack, alpha Zane, and how friendly he is. He also missed their cook and her food. She missed everything about her pack and could not wait to go back. this place was draining her energy, but it was better now that the devil alpha was not around, at least the remaining people were not that bad, JP as well was not as bad as she thought he was when she first met him.After training, Zoe went back to the packhouse to take a well-deserved shower then went to the kitchen to start bre
A week had passed, and Luka led his family back home to the pack. Zoe was going out the back to throw away the trash when he appeared on the tree lines leading the pack of wolves, fear was the first that crept into her mind and she was paralyzed on the spot. The fear she had was the kind that paralyzed you, the kind that made you forget everything and just succumb to it, and the kind that made you lose all your senses, and the only thing you can focus on is how afraid you are.Today was her birthday and she had asked beta JP if she could go home for the day and spend it with her friends and family. He had promised her after breakfast that he was going to take her home after finishing the paperwork he was busy with and now this man was back. She did not expect him to be back so soon, and she wondered If he would let her go home. Luka smelled the scent of her fear from afar and snapped his head in her direction.But it seemed that there was something more pulling him and
Zoe heard footsteps coming towards her room and her beat boomed in her chest. She was scared that Luka has come back once again, she curled herself into a ball burying her head on her chest and when JP walked in, he found her in that position making him feel sorry for her. He stood where he was not wanting to scare her even more than she already was. “Hey Zoe, I thought I was taking you home for your birthday, or did you change your mind?” he asked her hoping that she would respond, and she did.She lifted her head and looked in his direction. “But your alpha said that I couldn’t go.” She told him still with tears running down her cheeks, she did not want to defy him, Goddess knows what he would do if anyone defied him. “He agreed for me to take you there, come on am sure your friends and family are waiting for you.” He smiled at her, she jumped out of bed and swore her shoes. “Am ready.” She wanted to get out of there as
Her mother smelled her scent even before they could appear at the door and went to meet them. She hurried over when she saw her mate carrying their daughter; she thought she was injured. “What happened to my baby?” she asked checking her to see if she was injured. “I don’t know.” Her mate told her as he placed Zoe on the couch. Her mother sat next to her and wiped her tears. “What’s wrong baby?” she asked worriedly.“Oh mom,” more tears fell from her eyes, it hurt her mother to see her like that and she could tell that she was hurting. “What happened Zoe? tell us,” Zoe sniffed and tried to compose herself. “I found my mate mom.” Her mother broke into an enormous smile. “What’s wonderful baby, you found him at the devil’s pack?” Zoe nodded. “Then why are you crying? You should be happy you found him so soon, not everyone is that lucky. It took me almost a year befo
