Chapter 5

Alpha Asher 

Right from the moment she left my room in anger, my wolf took over me. He punished me severely while growling in anger until I felt nothing but pain.

I sat on the bed, trying to put myself together after such torment, hoping that she would return to scold me again like she has been doing, but I wasn't able to see her until three hours elapsed. 

Fear gripped me that she hasn't shown up since I know that the security was too tight for her to leave, not because I was feeling guilty or that I'm beginning to feel for her….but I'm scared of what my wolf would do to me next because of her.

I decided to go see her myself, she needs to take the herbs in order for her wolf to heal and aid in healing the wound….and the bandage on her head needs to be changed too.

I fling the door open but came in sight with Kayla, she pushed me backwards into the room and shut the door back. 

Arguing with her this time is what I don't want, since we haven't settled the first misunderstanding we had because of Reyna. 

She locked up the door. 

"You shouldn't…You shouldn't lock the door when I have something to do now." I stuttered like a kid.

She walked closer to me, her hands folded against her chest. "Isn't it time to tell me who she is? Who's that slut?" She thundered. 

I bit my lips in anger. I don't go easy on anyone, but I always try to control my temper when it comes to Kayla. 

She has been my lover for three years now, and I wouldn't want to lose her when I'm up to making her my Luna. 

"If at all you want to know who she is, you wouldn't have crossed the line. You would have thrown every question at me first." I replied to her, but in a polite manner. 

She faked a smile while pacing round the room. "I didn't cross the boundary, I only taught her a big lesson she wouldn't forget that easily."

"Do you even know how much it cost me to treat her bleeding head? And what of the three days she was unconscious?" I gritted my teeth, fuming in anger.

She stood still this time watching me, her eyes widened and mouth agape. 

"Perhaps, you shouldn't be here that day. And you appeared from nowhere to cause trouble." I yelled at her.

She shook her head. "But her fall was an accident, I wasn't the reason behind it."

"You are…" I slammed back at her. "You messed up the ground and it slipped her off."

"Okay, when did you start caring about other people? Aren't you the devil that I know any longer? And I just hate that Scumbag….."

"We are talking about my mate here,Kayla." The anger in me was burning like a fire. "Watch your tongue."

I didn't mind sparing her a glance again, I moved to the door, unlocked it and walked out. 

At that point, I just want to set my eyes on Reyna, I want to be sure that she is still around and okay. Despite being my breeder, she doesn't need to die, because if she does, Kayla won't give me a child. 

If only Kayla isn't barren, I wouldn't be doing this to Reyna. But since the witch doctor confirmed that she can't conceive any longer, I had to look for another way of having a child while she will still be crowned as my Luna. 

That's exactly why Reyna will leave after giving me a child, I'll have nothing else to do with her. 

I reached her room and knocked several times but didn't get a response. It was already dark yet she hadn't shown up. 

All the maids were busy, including the one I sent out of my room, so I believed that she should be alone. 

Seconds turned to minutes yet I heard not her voice, I pushed the door open and walked into the room but it was empty. 

"Reyna Adams…" I called out, moving to the bathroom. 

I quivered in shock when I saw no one there. Thoroughly, I searched the room but she wasn't hiding anywhere around the room.

My head burstead. I felt that I was going crazy as I dashed out of the room and hooked up the guard I met instantly. 

"Where is she?"

The guard glanced around. "Where is Reyna?" I shrieked at him. 

My voice was loud enough that the other guards heard it and began searching for her around the palace. 

I felt like I would die at any minute if she didn't show up.

Kayla walked out of the room and met me at the passageway, she stretched her lips and stood immobile staring at me.

"Who is she? Why are you looking for her?"

The reply to that question would have been a thunderous slap if it was another person. 

"Fuck you!!!" I cursed her and left. 

I moved to my chamber, scratching my head repeatedly when a guard walked in. "We've searched for her around the palace but she wasn't captured. Not even her shadow was seen."

I walked closer to him and punched his face. "She is nowhere around the palace, and you still have the audacity to stand before me and tell me that." I walked out heading to meet the other guards. I made sure that they all received a heavy punch on their faces as a punishment for not being secure enough. 

"I'm very disappointed to have Assholes as my guards. Make sure that Reyna is back to this palace or you all will face hell." I threatened them and I meant it. 

They all disappeared from my sight while I walked back to my room.

Even the seats became too hot for me to sit, my heart was pounding heavily beyond my control, and I'd confess that this is the first time and being bothered because of someone…an omega for that matter. 

I am so cold hearted that one can die on my feet and I'll walk ahead without glancing backwards. But here I am, running helter-skelter because of a mere lady that disappeared from the palace. 

"She's not just a mere lady, don't forget that." My wolf reminded me. 

I already forgot that she's his mate, I'll never accept her as a mate. My wolf can do that himself, such a low rank disgusting wolf can't be my mate. 

After several minutes of waiting for the guards, I decided to go out in search of her also or I won't be able to sleep. 

I took off to my heel, running ahead until I transformed into an Alpha midnight wolf, running into the woods while the guards took different directions. 

Since I was in my wolf form, it was easy for me to see in the darkness…I could also sense the presence of anything around me.

My wolf was a very fast one, so I made sure to dart my yellow eyeballs around the woods so I won't pass by her.

A disgusting sound hit my ear, causing me to stop running. I began glancing around in search of where the sound came from, since it was vivid that it's a cougar.

The wolves and cougars, also known as mountain lions, are a kind of enemy. They are stronger than wolves and don't hesitate to devour any that they see.

Now, I'm scared that the cougar will trap her since she's too weak. I could also sense her around, so I followed the scent in order to meet her.

Before my eyes, I saw her about to escape when the cougar that had been roaring jumped higher and landed its Claws on her back, leaving a deep scratch. 

I lifted my head and howled aloud in order to call the attention of the guards, and as well, the cougar let go of Reyna and jumped towards me.
