King Tyson's Pov
I walk to my hotel room with joy on my face. The thought of what happened last night was very fresh in my mind. Who could have thought I'd find her here in this small town? She is very beautiful. I could see myself getting lost in her eyes. My mate. It's not every day we meet our other half. The one destined for us by the Moon Goddess. I had to hasten up my meeting this morning because I wanted to spend time getting to know her. I was so shocked and entranced by her beauty I forgot to ask her name. Shit! What could she be thinking of me? I increased my pace and got to my room.I opened the door and walked in. The room was too quiet, I mused. I walked towards the balcony in search of her but she was not there. I checked the bathroom and still couldn't find anyone. I sniffed the air and her scent was still in the room but faint."Dean," I yell, calling my Beta."Your Majesty," he answered, coming inside the room immediately."Where's the young lady I came back with last night?" I ask him. He raises his head and quickly scans the room."There were guards placed in every corner of the hotel. She could not have gone far. Let me go look for her," he says quickly. My wolf is already on edge due to not seeing his mate. My eyes were glowing and I was getting angry."You will find her and bring her back," I commanded. I expected him to know these things as my Beta.I don't normally bring ladies to my bed. The few times I did, it was with a friend of mine and we were dating. I hope she hasn't gone far."Yes, Your Majesty," he replied and walked out. I took out my phone and called my PA."Cancel my meetings for today," I tell her. I won't be able to focus with my mate on the run."But Your Majesty you have a meeting with 3 Alphas by four pm. Should I still go ahead and cancel it?" She asks. Fuck! I couldn't cancel it because it was very important."No, don't. I'll be there. Send units 2 and 3 to Dean right now," I tell her and end the call. I pace around in the room. Hopefully, they'll see her, I tell myself.A few hours later, there's a knock on my door and Dean comes in."Were you able to find her?" I ask him."No Your Majesty," he answers with his head bent. I stare at him. I didn't want to believe I let her slip through my fingers. I poured myself a glass of whiskey and took a big sip. You fucked up big time my wolf tells me looking sad. I didn't even ask for her name. That would have made the whole search easier."Did you go to the club?' I ask clinging for some hope."Yes, Your Majesty but they refused to cooperate with us. They have a rule of not snitching on their customers. Especially those in VIP," he tells me. I stand up and pick my suit."Let's go," I tell him. I had a meeting in less than 30 minutes and needed a distraction. We walk to the elevator and enter inside.The meeting would be taking place in the conference room in the hotel so I didn't need to go out. I could still feel her scent on me. My beautiful mate. I had a feeling she lives in this town. But with no name or picture, it'll be hard to find her. That is unless the club agrees to work with me. I heard the owner is not a werewolf which makes things more complicated. He won't submit to me easily. I'll find her, I promise myself.We come out of the elevator and walk towards the conference room. The glass door is opened from the inside as soon as I get to the door. The 3 Alphas were already present when I walked in. Very good I thought. They honored my invitation and came for the meeting."Thank you all for honoring my invitation," I said to them as I walked in. They stood up as I spoke."We're honored to be here, Your Majesty," the only one to my right said. I walk to the end of the table and sit down."My name is Alpha Alden, Your Majesty. This is Alpha Jace and Alpha Zach," one of them said pointing at the others. He was a good-looking man in his Mid-Fifties. I observed the other two men. The younger-looking one is called Alpha Zach. He's a handsome young man. Alpha Jace looked somewhere around my age. They were all looking smart."Please have your seat," I tell them. They sat down but were not at ease."I've been getting reports on rogue wolves trespassing and hurting humans in the city. What happened?" I ask going straight into business. Being the King of all werewolves in the country was not an easy job. I have my pack and still have to help other Alphas when there's a problem in their pack."It's been going on for some time now. We've been trying to trace them but it's impossible. The attacks have been random too," Alpha Jace said."Well I was able to capture one of them last week," Alpha Zach said. "It seems they have someone leading them behind the curtains," he continues."A leader? If they truly have a leader then it'll be more complicated than I thought," I say.Rouge wolves running around hurting people was a big issue. The humans that were able to survive the bite get infected. The process is usually slow but they end up becoming werewolves and not all survive the process. Which was why we prohibited wolves from biting humans unless it was their mate."It's unheard of. Rogue wolves don't usually submit to a higher authority. How can there be a leader amongst them?" Alpha Alden says. He was the eldest and looked like someone who had more experience in life."I heard there's an underground fight going on every weekend. I have planted two of my wolves there but they haven't been able to gain access," Alpha Zach says frowning."True, I also tried to gain access to the underground fights but was denied. It seems the owners of the rings are very smart and are taking precautions," Alpha Alden said. I hate underground fights. That's where all sorts of things happen."My source told me some humans are also pushed to fight in the rings. Some even sign contracts to be bitten so they can become stronger," Alpha Jace said. I listen to their complaints and think heavily."Alpha Jace, are you trying to say the rogue wolves hurting people could be those humans that were bitten?" I ask him. It'd make much more sense if that were true."I dare not assume Your Majesty. But I'm sure some of those rogue wolves partake in the fights," he said. "Just like Alpha Zach had said, they might have a leader giving them orders. Although the attacks are random they mostly target young men and women," he says."I've given my wolves order. They're guarding my pack land. Some are also protecting the humans close by. The wolf we captured is still alive, Your Majesty. I could take you there if you're not in a hurry," Alpha Zach said. It seems Alpha Zach is very efficient and reliable.I caught the faint smell of my mate and immediately stand up. They all stood up too confused. I walk out of the meeting room and scan the hallway very quickly. It was empty aside from my guards standing there."What happened Your Majesty?" One of them asked. I was already distracted and couldn't answer them."I'll send reinforcement if you need it," I said, turning towards them. "I'll also investigate the attacks and come up with a solution. For now, I need every piece of information you've gotten about the attacks. Send a report if possible," I say quickly to them. I could tell they wanted to say more but now was not the right time. My mate is somewhere around and I need to get to her before she slips through my fingers. They said goodbye and started leaving. As soon as Alpha Zach walked in front of me I caught a whiff of her smell again.I quickly grabbed his hands, stopping his movement. I growled quietly and looked at him."Your Majesty," he calls me surprised."Why is her scent on you?" I ask him."I don't understand," he replies. I let go of his hands and looked at him closely."Are you mated?" I ask."Yes, Your Majesty. Alpha Alden's daughter is my mate," he answered me. I nod my head and allow him to go."Dean" I called the attention of my Beta."I want you to bring me an artist. I need to find her," I tell him."Okay Your Majesty," he answers. "We should start going now, Your Majesty. The car is waiting downstairs," he says. I nod my head and walk to the elevator.Katarina’s PovThe guilt of what I had done had been plaguing me for weeks now. I was distracted and my parents noticed it. I tried to forget what had happened that night but whenever I closed my eyes I saw his brown eyes staring at me. My wolf has also been quiet for some time. She was one of the reasons why I ended up like this. The horny bastard. Although I didn’t understand why she had been quiet, I could understand her feelings.I was in the kitchen trying to make dinner when my dad walked in. He watched me while I cook before coming to assist me. I knew he wanted to have a conversation with me. “What is for dinner?” he asks. I glanced at him and smiled inwardly. My dad and I are very close so I knew he would be the first person concerned. “I’m making grilled chicken and rice with some stir fry veggies by the side."“Can I help?” He goes to pick a knife knowing fully well he can't use it. “I’m fine Dad. Besides, I'm almost done,” I tell him. “Kat, you know I’m always there f
Katarina’s PovI felt numb. I couldn’t process what I had just heard. It was like a dream. My first response to what she had just said was to terminate it. How is it possible? A silly mistake wants to cost me my dreams. I didn’t even know who the guy was. It happened so randomly and fast. What do I tell my parents when they ask of the father? We were advised against getting pregnant by someone that was not our mate. Single mothers aren’t welcomed in Lakes Valley because it shows a lack of good judgment. It didn’t even make any sense. I was regretting my poor decision already and then this. I went through a lot of options in the space of some seconds. I heard my name faintly from Maddie.“Kat, Kat,” Maddie shakes me out of my thoughts.“Are you okay?” She looked at me, concerned. I couldn’t reply. I tried talking but tears welled up in my eyelids and threatened to fall. Maddie saw my expression and immediately hugged me. The hug stimulated the tears and they began to fall. I cried on
Katarina’s PovMy phone has been vibrating on my seat for the past hour but I dare not pick up any calls. My tensed hands gripped the steering wheel and blasted Rihanna’s songs from the car to take my mind off my phone. It was a decision made in haste but I planned on sticking by it. I didn’t know what gave me the courage to make such a decision but my wolf was loving it. She felt free and waggled her tail.For the first time, I was being defiant. I will call Maddie later when I’ve settled in a hotel. Maddie would never speak of the reason I left which was why I trusted her. It was an unspoken rule.I had been driving for about six hours now and decided to take a break. I drove into a new town called Prime Hills and decided to stop and get some things before continuing my journey.There was a big grocery store along the road so I stopped my car and came down. I had some things in mind already before going inside the store. The store was very busy with people talking to themselves loud
Katarina's PovMy eyes gradually opened to the sound of my phone ringing. Although I don't recall bringing my phone with me, I sensed its presence near me and attempted to locate its source. Nathan was holding my phone, which was ringing, and had a pensive expression while crossing his arms over his chest. "Ahem," I coughed discretely to get his attention. For a fleeting moment, our gazes met and he seemed disoriented. He promptly rose to his feet and handed me my phone. Maddie was on the line, so I promptly answered her call."Kat, Kat is that you?" She asked, sounding frantic. She must have panicked when she heard I ran away."Yes, Maddie. I'm so sorry for not calling you earlier." The day before dragged on endlessly."Where are you? We're all worried about you. Your mum has been crying her eyes out throughout the night," she informs me. I could hear some noise in the background."Are you at my house right now?" I asked her."I had no choice but to come, my phone had been incessant
Katarina's PovIt was already dark when we got to the pack house. Nathan told me to wait in the sitting room while he went to speak with the Alpha. I found out the Alpha was still unmated and was looking for his mate. Nathan was also unmated and though he swore it was by choice, I could hear the pain in his voice. My wolf had been quiet throughout the day and I was worried. It wasn't like her to be this quiet. At most, she would have tried to challenge Nathan when he called me a little girl. She was getting weak too. The pregnancy was taking a toll on her.The door to the office opened and they both came out and walked toward me."Hello, Kat I'm Alpha Darren of the Black moon pack. I have heard of your situation and I'm happy to be of help. You can stay here for now and move out when you have somewhere else to stay." He stretched forth his hands for a handshake. I was skeptical about his calm demeanor. This was the same person that almost tried to kill me less than twenty four hours
King Tyson's Pov3 years laterI was sitting behind my table reading the news written about my business. They called me a business mongrel. A name I earned by working restlessly for years. A billionaire, they said but I knew I was worth more.My pack has been enjoying the benefits of being loyal. While some Alphas tried not to rely on me, I still had some that expected me to take care of them. I shook my head. I had been having a lot of complaints from pack members and elders about their Alpha due to one reason or the other. Do they think it was easy being a leader? They thought the King was the perfect wolf and would do anything to help them. I try to do my best but even as a King, my authority is limited due to the laws I have to abide by. After making all this money, I was still alone. I felt a pang of pain in my chest. My wolf whimpered at the thought. It's been three years since I saw her last. My mate. Sometimes it feels like a dream but whenever I look at her portrait, I can'
King Tyson's PovI had not heard a word from Dean for the past 24 hours which was unusual. He needed to call to keep me informed when he was on a mission. His team was also unreachable. What was going on?I'm not usually worried about him but I was having a bad feeling about it. The thought of him getting hurt weighed heavily in my heart. I was not a ruthless King that don't have a heart. Dean was my brother although not related by blood. I considered him to be my closest relative hence why I was worried.It was in the middle of the night but I felt restless. Standing on the balcony of my room and looking at the moon, my thoughts ran wild. I've been living in my penthouse for a while now. I picked up my cell phone to give my PA a call when I heard the beep sound coming from my door. I quickly went inside my room and checked my iPad to see who was entering my apartment. Only two people had access to my penthouse so I wasn't surprised to see Dean inside.I left the room and went to the
King Tyson's PovDean and one of my men attacked him immediately. It was two against one. His eyes were focused on me. I was his target. My eyes turned red and I growled back. He took a step back and I growled again.I was not the King for no reason. My wolf was the strongest and unless it was an Alpha, I could easily force submission on lesser wolves. I walked closer to the wolf and gave Dean a sign to step back. The wolf whimpered and ran away. I turned to Dean and was about to ask him a question when we heard a voice."To what do I owe the pleasure of entertaining the King?" A deep voice asked. I turned to see the person talking and there he was. A giant of a man standing at the door of the house. He looked rough with tattered hair. "Alpha Grant, a report has been made about you so I'll need you to come with me for interrogations.""And if I refuse?" He looked nonchalant."Then you'll leave me with no other choice," I threatened. He smiled and opened the door."Come in Your Majes
