~PEDRO~
The sound of the cups, plates and cutleries clatter to the ground in blind rage, shaking everyone still present in the hall. I ball my fist in anger, letting a low growl escape from my lips.I am angry, furious and embarrassed.All along I knew this would happen, I saw it coming but I did nothing to stop her hoping she would have the sense to not take any stupid decision she thought about. I am visibly shook with rage that I could think about is tearing her down I’m the most brutal way for such humiliation.I immediately sent my men, the Wolfgang, to go after her. Heavens know where she has disappeared too. I do not even want to know because the moment I set my eyes on her, there is one thing for sure I was going to do.Break her.She has humiliated me enough. One thing that would spread throughout the whole of almight town and I can already imagine the unbearable rumors going around:Alpha’s supposed Luna had rejected him.What are shame?!I feel so sad for him.The thought of the rumors brew a sick guts in me and I immediately want to smash something—Anything. I reiterate back to my chambers, feeling my head heavy with anger. I hear footsteps approach, and my breath ceases in my throat when I sense whoever it is coming.Alfred.“Please tell me you’ve seen her.”He finally comes into my full view, his eyes are dropped down and his head is hung low. It is bad news. I can perceive that much, yet I wait for him to speak.“We could not catch her, Pedro. She disappeared as swiftly as ever and we could not grab a hold of her. Rumor has it that she is hybrid and that was why she was able to run that fast. She is—”“Shut up, Alfred” I growl.How on earth does this news makes me feel better? The fact that he is even doing a good job making excuses for himself pisses me more that before and before I can say ‘ace’ my claws are out and clawing swiftly at his jaws.He looks back at me horrified. I really do not care about his countenance right now. I am beyond mad rage to care about that. My breathing is harsh as I slowly, more gently transform into my wolf form. Fixing my gaze—glare at Alfred’s petrified face.“Make sure you find her and bring her back even if it means doing anything you can.”He lets out a knowing scoff, looking straight back at me, I can hear his thoughts. Loud and clear. But no way in hell am I going to just accept those thoughts like that. The thought that Zara WilGeorge s, my supposed to be Luna and mate is out of almight town and nowhere to be found. I tighten my fist, clenching it so hard until I could taste blood. A low feeling if alarm envelops me.What if something had happened to her?What if the black wolves had come back for her, probably they have been lurking around, waiting for the right time to finish her off and if that is the case, then this may just be a good opportunity.What if she never returns back to almight town? Sure enough I had scared her away and even promised to break her if she ever sets foot in this city.But thinking about it now, it is sickening. It makes me sound like some bloodthirsty vampire.I try to imagine her looking terrified, her hair falling across her small face and her brows created in worry. The only thing that is hard to place is the look on her eyes. Her deep dark eyes which is as steel as the word itself. Unwavering and daring. Like they are challenging you to come at her. She’s fierce. Feisty. And if there is something to love about her then that is it.My thoughts are in disarray. One moment I am seeking to break her, tear her apart and make sure I sniff the life out of her so she could feel how humiliated I am and the next moment, I am going through reasons why I like her, thinking of her and even getting worried about what may become of her.“By dawn, we could arrange more men to search thoroughly for her. My gut feeling tells me she maybe hiding in the city.” Alfred’s voice pulls me out of my trail of thoughts. I had even forgotten he was here.“Fine.” I say, “You send more men to look for her tomorrow and make sure, Zara WilGeorge s is brought back into this chambers.” I order, dismissing his presence.There is a high probability that Zara may not be in the city and even if she was then where could she possibly be hiding? And then there is chance of her still around the city. After all, this is her birth city and she practically grew up here.Yeah the same city where her parents were brutally murdered and you did nothing about it. I hear my subconscious sneer in whisper, causing my brows to fold deeper in a frown.Her parents death was noy my fault right? She was a hybrid. A mix of the werewolf and witches blood. No one was ever going to take her serious and in my defense, I tried.I tried to do the much I can for her but then it was the black wolves and they are terribly evil wolves that no one wishes to come across. Maybe Zara was right. I was a coward after all. Pretending to be this mighty Alpha who ruled almight town like his father did, but deep down, I was just—scared.The thought increases my anger towards her, the fact that she knew my reasons why I never went after the black wolves to avenge her family’s demise and as much as this irks me to say, I feel terrible for her.But I have always been my father’s son. Father would have been so proud of the accomplishment I’ve made so far for this city. For the people of almight town and one measly lowlife who unfortunately happens to be my mate would not ruin it. Would ruin me.She may have to try harder than expected.Albeit, I could feel the wheels in my brain turning. Even if Zara had left the city, she could not possibly leave alone. She could have left along with someone but then, Zara does not have any relatives in almight town. It was just her, her parents…A small knock jolts me out of my thoughts.It is Lia.I know her scent. I could tell her scent. But what I do not understand is why she is here at this moment and for what reason. I slowly turn around to take her in.She is wearing a black slip on dress, a jacket hung loosely on her body and she focuses her sea green eyes on me. Gingerly taking slow yet careful strides towards me.“What do you want Lia?” I ask, still letting my eyes trained on hers as she walks closer to me, a sly smirk playing on her lips as she settles on a chair next to me.“News has it that you were rejected at your interesting announcement and celebration of your suppose mate…” she trails off, mischief dancing in her eyes while she brings her palms to her mouth as if to stop herself from talking.“Oh no…let me rephrase that. News has it that your supposed mate flatly rejected your exuberant proposal and not only that, but she also had the guts to call you a coward.” She finishes, the look on her face feels like she is sympathizing with me.If I did not know better, I would easily be fooled. But I knew better and whatever Lia was trying to pull was only a great success to string out my remaining anger.“What the hell do you want Lia?” I rumble, trying to take calming breaths to ease up the anger.Lia tsked, “Oh nothing. I mean what could I possibly want after you had fully thrown me aside just to accommodate a Luna who does not even care about you.”I could sense what Lia was doing. I could hear the unspoken thoughts brewing up in her head and she knew I could fully read her. That explained how bright the smile on her lips grew as she clapped in delight.“Need me to explain anymore what I want? Because right now, it is all about what you want Alpha Pedro Wade.” She said sultry, drawing her self closer to me and making sure to softly whisper the words in my ear.~Zara~I am gradually taking in the dimness of the building. The smell of cinnamon tea wafts through my nostrils. Someone is brewing tea, George is the only one with me so I figure out that much that he is the one making the tea.The pain hitting my spine is massive, the small cuts and bruises are not healed yet. And as much as I try to figure out what is happening, It becomes impossible every passing second. I can not hear any faint sound coming from anywhere that is not a spoon clinking the teacup and for some weird reasons, I am suddenly alarmed.I immediately get up with a start, running frantic gaze around me. I try mumbling some spells that mother taught me to when I needed focus. Nothing is happening asides the increasingly rapid panic. Warm hands grip at my wrist, startling me immediately.I turn around, letting out a gasp. It is George . He is holding a teacup with another filled with steaming cinnamon tea and his other arms are on me.“Hey, you are safe now.” He reassures.
~Pedro~Zara…I can not sleep, it is hard. I try not to imagine so many possible things that may have happened to her. A part of me cusses at me. That this was all my fault. Maybe if I had not tried to please father too much, maybe if I had done something about her parents death…we would not be here today.I shake the thoughts away, burying my face deeper into my pillows. Zara is not anywhere in the city. Who knows where she might be? My mind reverts back to Lia’s statement.“I can help you find Zara. As swift as you ever you want it…”I recall narrowing my eyes at her, mirroring the glint in her eyes as she spoke. For once, I am desperate to do anything even if it takes listening to Lia.“How?” I ask, “how do I find Zara?”She laughs hysterically, staring at me the same way someone will stare pitifully at a dumb child. I bit my insides to stop myself from flaring up, not when I still need all the information I can ge
~Zara~It is funny how I am here with George , in a strange city and In a cozy apartment with zero idea of what next step to follow and endless hours of trying to pick just one person’s scent that isn’t George .I am trying to channel my whole wolf power and magic into making out something but nothing seems to work. I can not perceive, can not hear approaching footsteps and my magical powers seemed to have gone on an unsolicited vacation.A low feeling of panic immediately hits me and I become restless, endlessly pacing about in a disorganized manner. I do not have my powers as a wolf— the realization clouds my senses, plunging me into a frenzy.What do I do? How do I manage? What if Pedro’s men are still out there? How do I get out of this mess?I am becoming hysterical each passing minutes, my mind is raking and the wheels in my brain are working endlessly, trying to figure out this whole situation with me.‘Okay, let us do it this way, calm down Za
~Pedro~Lia is so convinced that someone actually helped Zara to run away. I am forced too. Not the literal kind of force though, but it just makes perfect sense as to why and how Zara was able to make it out of almight town, alive and in her own.She may not be alive though.But this is only a thought and my sense tells me that Zara is alive and I am so we’ll determined to find her by all means. My mind flashes back to Lia…lately, we’ve managed to agree at somethings. Like Zara would have had someone to help her and the high possibility that she is still alive and probably not in this city.Lia is a handful, not one that I cannot manage though. But for now, if I had to find Zara, I needed her help and I had to agree to her ridiculous demands.You could easily do without her though— maybe we can work more with Alfred. Your beta wolf. A small voice reasons and for a nanosecond I consider the thought. Lia maybe be ridiculous with her ideas
Life in Greenwood city is much refreshing than I thought. We were starting afresh. George and I, we had agreed we would put the past behind, leave all the bad memories that came with almight town die down there. George was right after all, we were in a new city. One without hate and discrimination. Everyone looked out for each other and made sure they had something to eat. If I did not know better, I would think I was in a fairy island where everything was perfect. But that was it with Greenwood . Everything was perfect. George had gotten a job at the city council, he worked happily and more at ease than I have ever seen him. I could not be anymore grateful for taking this decision with George . Two days ago, we had taken a tour around the city. Greenwood was not that much of a big city. Infact, compared to almight town, it was just a quarter and half of it. But everyone did not seem to mind. As long as they were happy, then it was all good. The p
~Pedro~The Wolfgang were still out there making sure to search properly every neighboring city situated around almight town. The search was real and intense and I knew this because I had gone along with them to thoroughly search areas that we suspected. However, we had gotten a hold of the family of the so called partner of Zara and there was no way I was going to let him go if he did not provide answers.One thing was so annoying, they would not provide their identify, like let us through on it and my only guess was that probably they were some member of the lowest pack of another city. So, we put that aside and had decided to torture them till they gave the answers we want.None was forthcoming no matter how many times the Wolfgang dealt with them, they claimed they had no answers to our questions and that they did not even know that their brother had disappeared out of almight town. It was frustrating that nothing was going well. Zara however must be having the
~Zara~There we were, drawing, painting, laughing. It was so fun. Especially doing it alongside Judas . Judas was good at whatever she drew and I, I was so much better at painting. At some point we got tired and decided to take a rest, there was an old man passing by, we waved cheerfully at him, “hello Mr, Jones.”“Hello Zara, hello Judas , how are you two today?”“Fine thank you. Do have a lovely day today.” We chorused in reply. Smiling at him while we watched him walk away.“So tell me, Zara, what brings you to Greenwood city?”I shrug, we were seating under an umbrella, on reclining chairs that were comfortable, staring at the clouds and basically sipping cocktail drinks. This was the life. Of course I had not forgotten to look for a job but for now, I needed to rest, to relax Abit and integrate myself into the society.And to think I had just made my first friend, not that I knew much about her but she was better at reading my thoughts and somehow I could tell that she was either
~Pedro~“ I say we call the rogues.” Lia suggests and I cringe. The rogues? No way. Those set of wolves were another breed entirely. They stink and most times get distracted with their mission.They really are not trust worthy at all and it is like going on a big risk. This mission is worth the risk. But still there is no way I am calling the rogues.Lia gives me a bored look, I can tell she is getting pissed off by my reluctance. But I do not give in. Never. And she is going to have to deal with it.“ Okay Pedro, what do you expect? I mean if you are hell bent serious on carrying out this plan of yours, you will cooperate with me and for once just put aside all these pride. “It is not pride. The rogues are just these set of dirty wolves that carry out dirty works and I do not want to risk being associated with them. Okay maybe this is pride but it does not matter right now.I value my pride and Lia of all person’s should know that by now. Is that not even the main reason why we are
