Alpha Ace’s POV
“Do 20 more push-ups. I’ll assign you to your partners later.” I ordered my pack, training all the new pups.
“How are the things I ordered?” I mind-linked my beta, Markus and he appeared later on from behind the trees.
“It has arrived, Alpha.” He replied in my link.
I looked back to my members and ordered my pack warrior to train them in my stead.
I motioned for Markus to go to my study, and as soon as we arrived, a silly smirk played on his lips as he looked at the official papers that he presented to me. “Here are the documents you asked for, Alpha.” His eyebrows furrowed, “Are you sure this will work?”
I sent daggers to him, “Are you questioning my decision, beta?”
He’s the only one in my pack who would dare to mock or tease me, and he should be thankful enough that I consider him my friend. Markus shrugged, “No... but it's strange... why did you pick that school?” He asked, “Not like I’m complaining...”
I sighed. Here comes his way of getting things done with me. I knew he was somehow plotting something wicked. “I know what you’re thinking, Markus, but it’s not that. We have to do this as I got a report from my warriors that those darn filthy monsters are around this area.” I answered.
Weakness disgusts me, and those filthy monsters I’m talking about are weak werewolves who chose to sacrifice their sanity and drink those werewolf steroids in order to gain “power”. Tsk, they were blind enough to even believe that. That crazy drug only did harm to their bodies, made our appearance to humans obvious, and gave me more paperwork to do.
It's the 21st century, and I’ve lived for many decades. Stupid human civilizations and stupid human innovations that made those werewolf steroids. I swear if I caught that inventor, I’ll make sure to torture him with every last bit of my being.
“Are you sure this is not just some lame excuse to find your mate?” Markus remarked, sweeping me away from my thoughts.
I cocked my eyebrows, “No.”
In my 180 years of living in this darn world, I never even met my mate. I stopped believing in prophecies those necromancers made and I only believed in myself.
What belongs to me, will always come to me.
A few years ago, a necromancer came and suddenly announced that my mate would be human. I did not believe him as a Lycan king. He, like me, had been fated to be a lowly human.
I could not take that humbling position. If fellow alphas know, they will surely take away my throne.
I do not accept that.
Not ever.
“Prepare your things. We’ll leave right away.” I announced to Markus as we are now on our special mission to catch those monsters.
“Alright, Alpha, as you wish.” He eagerly said, seemingly more excited to go on this mission than I am.
Hunting monsters has been Markus's favorite pastime.
I mean, I’m a monster myself, so I couldn’t just let other monsters take away my reputation. A monster can only be controlled by his fellow monsters, right?
Wearing my white long sleeve and black pants, I put on dark shades to cover my brown eyes and I dyed my silver hair black to avoid getting recognized. I hid my scent so that other werewolves wouldn’t smell me.
The moment my enemies know that I and my beta are away from my pack, they will surely take this as a chance to take over and attack. But I’ll never let that happen. I mind-linked all my warriors to report to me everything while we were away and carefully monitor and protect my pack.
I am the strongest and Markus is the second strongest, but I trust my pack members as they are also strong.
Markus beside me was wearing his usual black t-shirt and pants, carrying a backpack.
“I put your name as Mr. Jones.” He suddenly brings it up as soon as we leave my packhouse.
I raised my sunglasses, “And you?”
“I’m Mark. Short for Markus of course.” He said.
I nodded, “Remember our goal.”
“Yes, teacher. How could I forget this? For today, I'll be your student and we’re strangers.” He teasingly said and I rolled my eyes at my subordinate.
We used my Rolls-Royce car and I let Markus drive toward the planned school.
We checked in with the principal and headmaster of this school and I was on my way to my first class when I saw a hazelnut hair girl bump into me, and my eyes met with her chocolate brown eyes. I felt our hands hit for a moment and felt a spark hitting us. I gasped and shuddered a bit, it was only subtle, but it was enough to feel. I gazed at her confused eyes as she was with a boy beside her. I shook my head and cleared my throat, “Careful there, miss.”
I could feel Markus’s teasing look beside me as I proceeded to walk away.
“That was strange…eh?” His eyebrows rolled playfully, “Looks like this will be fun!”
I shook my head, giving it to Markus for always finding fun in everything. “Just go to your class now.”
“Yes, teacher!” And he left. During our Physics class, the girl was late. I found out her name was Ms. Fernandez. She looks vulnerable and weak, but I noticed she would always give remarks unexpectedly, feigning that she’s strong. I couldn’t even focus on the entire class as my eyes couldn’t help but catch sight of her…
And as soon as the class was finished, she even confronted me.
“Excuse me but do you have a problem with me, Mr. Jones?” I looked up at her from the paper I was reading and answered, “Don’t be late next time and we won’t have any problem, Miss Fernandez”
She was glaring at me and placed her hand on the table, intentionally glazing her hand over mine, and I suddenly stopped, feeling it again. That damn spark.
I matched her gaze, trying to read her expression, and she dared to meet my gaze, not backing down.
I blinked, realizing it.
No, no, no… So that prophecy was true.
She’s my mate.
Realizing that, I spent the rest of the day in shock, hiding behind the cafeteria as soon as lunch came and watching her sit alone.
I also watched as a girl slapped her on her way to the detention room. Watching her get mistreated like that irks me so much that I have to stop myself from hitting that girl.
I made sure to let her eat at the detention, wanting to treat her wound, but Markus would just tease me about it. I mean, no one has to know for now.
I even followed her home, just to see those darn monsters behind her.
So I was right. Those monsters will show up here.
I immediately called Markus and blocked my body from my mate.
“I knew she’d be your mate,” Markus commented.
“Focus on the task, Beta,” I ordered demandingly.
He avoided it and instead looked at the disgusting monster in front of us.
“Finally, these bastards finally showed up. That was easy. Let’s hunt the others, Alpha,” said Markus, his ears perking up in interest.
“Catch the others. I’ll take care of her.” I ordered him and fought with the werewolf on steroids. Things really get ugly when they do this, so I have no choice but to kill them. I then opened up the match and threw fire on the monster’s body before carrying my mate’s body.
“You’re finally safe, my mate,” I mumbled.
“He just really takes after you. Seeing him reminds me of when you were first staying at the pack. Reckless, disobedient, and immature.”I chuckled, I guess Adrian really takes after me. I can’t deny that. Ace’s eyes were droopy. I let him sit in the living room and made him coffee in the kitchen. When I was done, he was not sitting on the sofa anymore. I searched for him and made my way upstairs to my children's bedroom.Ace was sitting at the edge of Kaira’s bed. He was silent, just staring at our child, Adalric. He tucked his blanket and kissed him on his forehead. Ace then walked to the other side of the bed where Kaira is sleeping. I see our daughter hugging him in her sleep. "Love you, daddy."I can't help but smile sadly. Ace is so busy that he can only see our children once in a while. I know he really misses them, so much that he ditches his work always, just to see his children. I stood in the hallway, watching them. This is their only free time. I should not interfere.A
"Ahhh!"An earth-shattering cry woke me up from my senses. I immediately stood up from the sound. It was from the living room of my throne. Ten years had passed by and I had been kept busy with my throne, my three children, and missing Ace.He had been busy managing the pack….Just then, the realization hit me.No...it can't be...Grabbing my wand from my drawers, I placed it on my waistband to conceal it, making sure it is within my reach. I headed to the living room as soon as possible and I was frozen at the sight in front of me.There, lying on the ground is a child, red blood splattered all over his body.I hurried over and carried the child, my heart beating frantically. I checked his pulse. Still not sure, I also checked his breathing and-"Prank!"I stopped at what the child yelled to me, chuckling.I stopped for a moment...and laughed with him. Laughed at my stupid overthinking and sighed in relief. I chuckled. He never learns."How was it, mommy?" Asked Kaira, the youngest am
ALPHA ACE’s POV 10 YEARS LATERBeing a father has not been easy, but I am aware that Kira's job is three times harder than mine.I was staring at my wife as we both lay in bed.I breathed in deeply, smelling her shampoo, the scent I associate with my own house, and I sank deeper into her long hair. I looked into the identical eyes that had made me fall in love."Adrian is training for his alpha duties, and Adalric and Kaira are at their spell class, babe," I said with a devilish grin after thinking, "It has been a while since we are left alone."Kira innocently lifted her beautifully groomed eyebrows and asked, "So?”What do you mean by "so"? I sneered. I leaned in and chuckled, "Oh honey, you're playing so hard to get now. You know exactly what I'm referring to.." I slowly trained my hands on her shoulders and she gave me the look.“We're elderly and already have kids, honestly, babe, why do you get that much stamina?” I laughed as I jokingly patted my hand away.To show her how har
Two months passed by. After a few brainstorming, Ace and I finally decided on a name.We decided to name him Adrian Zaire.Adrian because I want it to start with the letter A like Ace. Means Dark in Latin and Rich in Greek.Dark because I had given birth to him during the time of darkness, but I knew he is going to bring me the bounty of happiness.And Zaire because my baby is fond of Rivers.He likes to stare at the waters that I had to build a water fountain on the entrance of our throne. I also transferred to the river near here so I could watch over him when he decided to play around when he grows up. I woke up with a fresh start, wanting to go and take Adrian and let him have some vitamin D by letting him bathe in the morning sun.After spending time with my little Adrian and breastfeeding him, I made him burp and made his return to sleep. He looks healthier now and looks more alive as he had some melanin. Baby Adrian is also growing up at a normal rate, so I am glad I could sti
Waking up every day is not as depressing as it used to be.Since our baby was born, I woke up feeling lighter and happier.And I’ve never been contented in life than this…He’s our ray of sunshine. As soon as I wake up smiling, I would cuddle with Ace, and leave before he’ll do something with his hard-on and push it to me….I must save myself…..Then I would go to the nursery room that Ace made for our baby.The room was simple and adorable. With wood carvings and more cushions and mats so that when he grows up, he would not get full of wounds and stumble around.Ah, the thought of a child running around a house excites me. But our baby still hasn’t grown. He is still a delicate baby and a week old. So I am taking extra care when dealing with him. Plus, we still haven’t chosen a name for our baby.So it has been a week since we have been calling him our baby. I tried to list names, but I am still stressing over what to name him. I thought I could name him Selyse if he were a girl
“Ah, Kira!” Arya yelled.Alpha Magnus chuckled, “Who was it who was tearing up after seeing Kira faint? And then fainted too?”“Tsk, leave Ace.”“Bastard, stop mocking me.”“Oh shut up, who was it couldn’t bear to watch my birthing?” Asked Alpha Kamilah, her eyes looking at her mate and Alpha Magnus went quiet.“Your baby is a fighter. He ate his twins…you could have birthed to three…” said Gusev.“What?”“Shh, she doesn’t have to know that.” Everyone is here. Laughing. And it felt nice that it felt like a get-together again. Something like a reunion. As if were old friends trying to bond again. HiExcept we have a plus one now.I felt a bit sad that I couldn’t show my baby to my mother and let my mom carry her.How nice would it be if mom was still alive…I shook my head no. I should not be thinking about that. She’s here in my heart and she’s watching us.I am sure she is happy.Suddenly, the air started to get chilly as Alpha Magnus spoke up, “Now that a tri blood is born, an heir
