Chapter Two

Eros

“Get out” I said coldly, leaving the bewildered red head sprawled between the white sheets as I headed into the shower.

Steam rose as I turned the shower, stepping out I frowned as I saw the redhead figure lying lazily on my bed, a soft snore leaving her lips.

“What are you doing here” I growled loudly,

“A..Alpha” she scrambled up, looking at me sultrily.

“I told you to scram” I barked, unfazed by her measly attempt to end up in my bed once more. No one had that right.

Her black orbs turned misty, “I thought you wanted me” she whispered lowly.

“What an audacious thought, I would rather want a pig,” I sneered.

“But I love you”

My lips stretched into a smile, I approached her, closing the gap between us, I gripped her chin “You're going to gather all your things and scram before I blink,” I said lowly, staring at her as I battled my wolf for dominance.

“Let me at her,” Baxen, my wolf, growled furiously.

“No” I said simply, shutting him down.

Her eyes widened, fear flickered in them, she scrambled to her feets bouncing her naked tits as she rushed out the door, bumping into Kaden, my beta and best friend on her way out.

“I know you don't sleep with them more than once, but come on man. Spare my eyes,” he groaned.

“You smell shitty.” I scrunched my nose, at his muddy smell.

“Yeah, no thanks to training those pups.” he groaned, sinking into the sofa.

“Get your dirty ass up from my sofa,”

“Sure mum,” he bit back sarcastically, not making a move to stand.

“There’s an invitation from moonlight pack.” He began, sitting upright dragging a cup from the tray.

“Decline it” I said.

“Ehhh” His eyes lowered, he turned sideways away from me. I paused “what do you mean by Ehhh?” I asked

“I don't know what you're talking about” his nose tilted, something he does only when he lies.

I sighed, grabbing an outfit I changed into, “what did you do” I asked, leaving the room while he followed.

The room reeked of sex and sweat, a scent that better be gone before I get back or someone would answer for it.

Kaden turned silent all through the way, as we walked through the marbled tiles of the long hallway of my pack house that led to my office.

I winced as the bright light hit my face as I opened the door to my office. “Spill. Now.” I left no room for options as the words left my lips.

“I already accepted the invitation”

“On who's orders” Baxen growled, taking control of me temporarily.

“And that's why” he sighed. “The elders…”

“I should have ended those old fools, the very first day they interfered with my pack” Baxen flashed out once more, before I was finally able to lock him at the corner of my mind.

“Fucking stop pacing around, your giving me a headache” I groaned at Baxen who refused to stay still.

“Eros, that's more than once in a stretch.” Kaden said, his brows creased with worry as he looked at me.

“I have it under control.” I muttered.

“Tell that to the elders on my neck. You need a Luna, the pack is worried, Baxen growls more feral with each passing day.”

My hands slammed hard against the table. “I said I have it under control.”

“Doesn't seem like you've got much control to me” he replied.

“Aside the elders, I also think you need a Luna man. That's where the moonlight pack’s invitation comes in” chairs scrapped as he sat opposite me.

Pinching my forehead with my two fingers “what does the invitation have to do with getting me a Luna?” I asked.

“It's the first step. We attend their Alpha's mating ceremony, you pick a mate and voila, problem solved” he grinned like he'd just solved the world's biggest problem.

“What she-wolf decided to ruin her life with that wimp for an Alpha?” I wondered, the image of the snotty nosed alpha came to memory.

“His beta’s daughter, apparently. She's his chosen mate.”

“Something feels fishy about all this, not like I have a choice. Let's go then, I do need to blow off steam.”

“More like blow off your bat shit wolf” he murmured.

But thanks to Baxen’s perked up ears, we heard him, loud and clear.

“Shut up, Kay.” I threw a pen at him, it hit. A red bulge appeared on his forehead.

“My face” he groaned dramatically, clutching his face like something horrible had happened.

“It's not the end of the world Kay” I chuckled at the look on his face as he looked at me like the world was about to end.

“Easy for you to say, you're not the one with a red bulge ruining your handsome face” he grumbled.

Bringing down his hands from his face his expression turned serious as his eyes flickered between its natural blue orbs and yellow, his wolf's. He went silent, mind linking with one of the pack members.

“A rogue was found on pack grounds, Bane got it before it could attack anyone.” He turned to me as he finished.

“Where?” I asked.

His hands curled into fists, the air thickened “The school,” he said.

I narrowed my eyes, “how did a rogue get that far? No one sighted it prior it's attack?”

“None,” his lips tightened

“Patrol?” I asked.

“Xenos and Axel” He replied

A lone rogue couldn't possibly sneak past my best warriors, “investigate properly, bring in anyone that seems even slightly suspicious, I'll do the question my self.” I ordered.

The door creaked open and shut as he left, sunlight peered in through a crack in the curtain. But I stood, wondering the underlying question that we didn't dare to say loudly.

There's a mole in my pack.
