Chapter 4
*Kayden's POV* "I'm not going to tell you." Lauren burst into sudden laughter. "What the..." I shook my head. "Okay then," I added and returned to the contract I was reviewing. "Really? Just okay? Can you just please show some interest in what I am saying? Your lack of interest is killing the urge to speak in me," "C'mon, you just told me right now that you are not going to tell me, you were not expecting Alpha Kayden to beg you, right?" I asked and she stood up with a huff. Jay growled in me, he was particular about disrespect and Lauren's huffing was one. "Lauren," I called, my eyes turning dark for a split moment. "I... I didn't mean to Alpha," she replied. "It's okay, I almost lost control for a moment," I said. "It was my fault but then you should show a little interest, okay?" She asked, trying to be as pleasant as hell. "Taken," "Now do you want to know who he is?" She asked. "Your choice," "Here we go again," she grumbled and picked her bag. "Bye." "Bye Lauren," She exited the room and I breathed out in relief, now I can focus a bit on work, well that is if Jay lets me. "Well I am not going to, we have a lot to talk about, first our mate and secondly the wolf hunters," he chirped in and I groaned. "Not now Jay" "You are unbelievable! You listen to Lauren so attentively but me," "I listen to you all the time," I replied to him. "Then you should now too," ************ I took a look at my wristwatch, it was time for me to leave. I grabbed my suit and slipped it on, grabbed my suitcase and exited the office, locking it securely behind me. "Hey Davis," I called, creating a private mind link. "Yes Alpha?" "Are you in the town already?" I asked. "Just getting there," He replied. "Go to see the Alpha immediately," I ordered. "Sure Alpha but I do think the alpha is no longer alive," he replied. "What the... Find the alpha first, how brave would those wolf hunters be?!" "I will inform you about my progress alpha," he replied and I ended the mind link. It's time to do something about these wolf hunters, if they took down the alpha then it will be marked as incompetence on my side, and that is what I detest, incompetence! I could feel Jay jump and growl in me, threatening to take over in our fit of rage. "Calm down Jay, we are going to get them, I promise," I promised him and he purred, it was evident that he was trying to get calm. I got into my car and looked out of the window. "Go," I ordered and the car began moving, at a slow pace at first before the speed increased.The breeze that flew my face did so much in calming down my raging mind. "We are here Alpha," the driver announced and I got down from the car without a word. "Welcome Alpha," a row of maids greeted and I handed over the suitcase and my suit. I walked in and headed straight to my room. I plopped to my bed and massaged my creased eyebrows for a while. "Let's get ready," I mumbled, trying to encourage myself to go to the party. I wished I had declined the invite. I took a quick bath and dressed up in a tuxedo. I took a look at myself in the mirror and no doubt I was looking outstanding just as an alpha of my status should. I picked my golden wristwatch and put it on. I finally exited the room and got to the black car that was instantly opened up for me. I got in and took my favourite spot, the window side. The car moved and with us moved my escorts in other cars. * * *Samantha's POV* "Get up! Get up you all! Move to the other side," I woke up to the noise. "What's going on Cara?" I was still pretty much confused when I was pulled up. I looked around and the other girls were being shifted aside. I was thrown roughly to the side but I got up quickly and saw more girls pushed in, they were crying badly and at once that they were our new inmates. "I wonder what pack they are from," "I wonder who the heck is the alpha of alphas! The whole packs are going to be enslaved!" Cara yelled in my head. "Can you stop causing a ruckus in my head? I am not the alpha of alphas you seek for goodness sake," "As usual, I am going to be giving you the pleasure to see them being given the mark, the mark that signifies you all being a slave," one of the masters said and a pot of hot coal was brought with the pan that they called the stamp. I caressed my mark that was at the back of my neck, a bit different from where all others have theirs. Granny said I showed too much resistance and they just had to stamp me where they got the chance. I shut my eyes tight, I didn't want to see the stamping, I didn't want to see their smiles while we cried. My eyes tightened as I heard the screams from the other girls. "Please! Please!!!" I heard them scream but what can I do? Nothing, I am also helpless, we all are helpless! But I wasn't supposed to be this way, I could not deny the anger and rage I felt at times when a member of my pack was being tortured. I know the feeling of loss I feel whenever I lose a member, after all, I was the alpha and the alpha was not supposed to be helpless. "Alphas fight, alphas do not cower and whimper", Cara replied in agreement with my thoughts. "Alphas protect, they do not wait to be protected!"Chapter 196 Samantha's POV Kayden rushed to me as tears slowly clouded my vision. I swear it was not my motive to kill her, I did not want to do that, I was willing to let Kayden do the judgement on her and not me taking judgement into my own hands. "I am really sorry." I mumbled and he hugged me, pressing my head against his hard chest. "It's okay Mantha, it's okay as long as you are okay. Lauren had it coming already." he said to me. "But... But I was not supposed to kill her." "You heard him Mantha, you really should stop blaming yourself, it was Lauren, you did not go for her, she came for you herself and met with her death." Cara said to me. "You did no wrong thing, you were trying to defend yourself, I saw that and in the process you killed her, it was not your motive." he said to me. "Are you sure that the other would not think of me as one cruel lady?" I asked him and he shook his head. "Why do you care about what they think about anyways? It is only what I think abou
Chapter 195Kayden's POVI got into the backseat of the car."A fast ride." I ordered, looking out of the window and the car moved, slowly at first but soon gained momentum as soon as we were out on the road.In minutes, I was at the company already. The door of the car was opened for me and I alighted from the car.It was the same usuals that morning, I got into my office and removed my suit, I took my seat and placed my briefcase on the table."Shit." I cussed slightly as I found out that I had actually forgotten the documents that I was in need of at home.I sighed softly as I checked the time on my wristwatch, I wanted to mind link with someone to get the document for me from the mansion but then I knew that where I had placed the document was a conspicuous spot and it would not be found that easily by anyone."I guess I would just have to return home then." I breathed out. Samantha's POV"Lauren!" I called."I see that at least you still do recognize me." she replied
Chapter 194James POVI was dumbfounded, I could not believe my ears."Wh... What did you say?" I stuttered a question."You are the new Alpha of the Green Moss Pack." Alpha Kayden confirmed what I had heard."Really?! I... I am going to become an alpha?""You are not going to become one, you are already one." he replied me and I looked towards Samantha, she smiled at me widely."You do not want to be here because of the painful memories, there, you would have no painful memories." he added to me."Thank you so much Alpha Kayden." I replied him with a deep bow."You are welcome James." he replied me."And you can not leave so early... You have to have the last meal with us." Samantha said to me and I nodded with a slight smile, that had to get the first smile I was letting out since the death of Cassie and even though the smile was not so sincere, it still did make a difference.I watched his Alpha Kayden and Samantha skip out of the room. I closed the door and walked over to my bags
Chapter 193James POVI looked up from the floor and saw an unfamiliar look of not wanting to let go on on Alpha Kayden's face."I am sorry Alpha Kayden." I apologized once more and he patted my shoulder."It is fine, I also once did worse..I know what you are feeling but then still yet, you fought for the entire pack, the entire Wolfdom and in the process even lost someone, there is no way I can let it go just like that, you are also a hero, you should tell me what you want." he requested from me and I pressed my lips into a thin line."I really do not know what I wish to request for from you Alpha Kayden, you have treated me like a friend in the past weeks and I am grateful for that so much. You really do not have to do anything more for me Alpha Kayden.""You are not leaving here if I do not do something for you." he said to me and I sighed softly."You do not need to talk right now, you can talk later on when you think about what you want from me." he said to me and walked away fr
Chapter 192Lauren's POVI sipped my tea in the restaurant, trying hard to hear to what the two guys who were talking were saying, they were both wolves and i figured out that there was a possibility that I could get something from them."It's really still a wonder to everyone, David is such a betrayal. Thank goodness he is finally dead." one of them said and I gasped slightly.Davis was already dead?!How in the world did that happen during the short period of time that I was away from the place?"I heard James is going to be the next beta." the guy said."I think so too, he really supported Alpha Kayden and even more, his lover, Cassie died too, that is just too much of a disaster for him." the other guy replied.So that Cassie even died, that is good for her. She has always been trying to be the best one amongst all every freaking time! Good riddance to bad rubbish for me.But then I still had it in mind that the best thing to do right at the moment was to get away from the country
Chapter 191James POV"Cassie!!!" I screamed as I ran around the entire place while still trying to be time conscious.I had no idea where Cassie could be even when I knew very well that she had to be somewhere in here."Maybe she is out there already, maybe she is among those that are out there, safely already " I guessed as I opened up the last door.That just had to be it, that had to be what happened, perhaps she was just too weak to come find us to show herself.I turned and began to race away from the building, it would soon blow up, that I was sure of.I ran as fast as my wolf legs could go,I was almost out of the gates when I heard a shrill cry."James!!" It was Cassie's voice."Cassie!!" I screamed, tears clouding my eyes in an instant as I realized the fact that time was up.I turned and tried to race towards her but just then the explosion came, loud and sudden! It almost shattered my ears but that was not the issue! This explosion! This very explosion had swallowed my Cass
