Chapter 04

As I strapped my white towel around my waist, my room door opened and I glared in that direction ready to yell at whoever it was that came in without my permission.

"Christine," my frown vanished as a smile spread on my lips. She is the head of tourism management in my Pack but we were more. "You could have knocked. What if I was naked?"

She smirked while she gently closed the door.

"Do I need permission to see my Alpha," she toned sensually as she approached me. "Besides, I've seen that little man down there so many times." She slowly ran her right index finger across the middle of my sturdy chest and my pulse began rising. Her blonde hair was packed in a messy bun revealing more of that dazzling beauty. Her blue eyes gleamed of one thing, lust and passion and I loved it. Even if I wanted to hold back, her shirt did enough justice revealing her cleavage. I gulped down my saliva, trying to tone down the imaginations running wild in my head.

"Don't play with me tonight, Chris." I gently took hold of her finger.

She smirked.

"Your eyes are saying otherwise, Hans."

"Definitely you didn't come here for this, why are you here?"

"I'm mad at you!" She hit my shoulder with a slight frown. "You brought a girl to the Pack without my notice. How long were you going to hide this from me?"

I squinted my eyes a bit.

"Let me guess, Simon told you."

She rolled her eyes and I took a mental note to punish Simon later.

"And I bet she's just going to be another lady you're going to fuck right?" Her voice deeply hinted with a lot of jealousy and I couldn't help but smile.

"If Simon had been explicit enough you should know the lady in question is a Witch."

"You hate witches so why is this one here?"

She held my gaze so much as if she were trying to decipher what was running through my mind.

"She says she can cure my curse." I toned with a heavy sigh following suit. Her eyes lit up in surprise for a split moment before she sighed too.

"I'm sorry,"

"For what?"

"For acting out. I thought--" I shushed her with my fingers as I leaned closer to her.

"It's fine." I donned an endearing smile.

"Do you think she can do it? I mean many have tried and it was all to no avail." She mumbled softly and my body stiffened. To be honest, Elle was the weakest Witch I've ever met but somehow, there was something about her my wolf was pulled too.

"My wolf feels she's the right person for the job." I finally mumbled and a tiny smile graced her face.

"You have no idea how delighted I would be if she breaks this curse for you, Hans."

"I know," I gently rubbed her cheek and she blushed.

"I wanna meet her."

"Not yet. It's late, she might be asleep by now. We can do that tomorrow." I pulled away from her and was about to head into the bathroom but she held me back with a hungry look.

"I'm spending the night here, we can do other things, don't you think?" She bit her lower lips.

"Like?" I smiled devilishly, feeling a pulse of excitement flood my insides.

"Taking a shower, it's been a long day for me." She slowly unbuttoned her shirt revealing her full size breasts. My eyes wouldn't peel away from them and my little man more than ever wanted to part those sexy thighs of hers.

I smirked.

"I could help you ease that stress." I said while I gripped her waist, pulling her close so our breaths collided and her breaths rocked against my chest. She hummed with a slight chuckle. But I couldn't take the heat anymore, I claimed those lips of hers like she was my life. My tongue easily founds her and although she fought for domination but as usual, I was the Alpha here. She moaned while she briskly loosened the towel around my waist. I lifted her up to my waist on impulse, enjoying the euphoria that came with my rod rubbing against her warm thigh. But there was something wrong. My wolf wasn't inclined into this. I should be focusing on her body but why was I thinking about Elle instead. My wolf kept pestering me that something was wrong but I chose to ignore that. Rather, I marched into the bathroom with Christine on my waist. I would check on Elle later.

"Hansel! Hansel!" Christine and I jolted awake from the bed immediately. That was Simon.

"What's the fuss? Come in!" I yelled in a lazy fashion while Christine pulled the blanket up enough to cover her chest. He stormed inside looking all panicky and at that point, I needed no one to tell me something horrible had happened.

"Are we under attack?" I asked with a slight growl and he wriggled his head.

"Lydia went to check Elle but apparently, she's gone. She's not anywhere in the Pack House."

"Are you shitting me right now?!" I barked as I alighted from the bed nakedly. "Isn't she supposed to be under surveillance?!"

"She's a witch Hans,"

"So?! Put the Pack under lockdown and find her!" I commanded as I scurried to put on some shorts and shirt.

"Yes Alpha!" He sharply answered before jostling out of the room. My chest heaved up and down in a heavy manner, now I finally realized why my wolf was so worked up.

"Dammit!" I growled.

"Wait!" Christine yelled as she tried to alight off the bed. "Let's go find her together."

"No. Stay back, I've got this." I said and without waiting for her response, I dashed out of the room. My fist clenched as I kicked her room door only to meet an empty bed. Of course I was not expecting to see her. My teeth gnashed as the realization dawned on me that I've been fooled by that puny witch! I looked around for a while until my eyes settled for the opened window. I walked over there and her scent reeked the strongest. I growled. As much as I hated to admit it, my wolf loved her scent. It was just as alluring as the first time I met her. But that wasn't what mattered now. I could trace her scent. I inhaled deeply one last time before a devilish smile crept to my lips. I dashed out of the Pack House with immediate effect, heading into the forest and briskly transforming into my wolf form. As my wolf eased through the thick forest her scent got stronger and the sound of her pace, louder. The moment my eyes locked on her, my speed doubled and without thinking, I pounced at her from the side, she screamed as we thudded to the long grounds.

My heart started pounding in fear not from her painful scream but the smell of her blood. My breaths became unsteady as blood rushed out from the sides of her stomach. My claws had done serious damage.

“Elle!” I yelled as I transformed back swiftly only to see she had lost consciousness.
