Chapter Four

Alexander pov

The doors swung open as I walked in being the alpha king and the alpha of the Silver moon pack. I command utmost respect as I walked in, my deadly glares silencing the chattering of the people. My presence filled the hall and everyone went still in movement. The air thickened in anticipation waiting for my command. My piercing gaze sweeping over my people as their gaze fixed solely on me. They bowed their head in respect as he stood in all majesty.

I had long been used to such formalities and I knew what my presence does. I was feared and my name was probably a nightmare to the people. The only persons who felt relaxed in my presence were my Beta, Ethan and my Gamma, Michael who had gone through life and death with me. I was known to be ruthless and merciless no one go against me and live to tell the story.

“Two of our own were found dead in the forest. Tomorrow we train harder, we sharpen our claws and we hunt our enemies down”

My thunderous voice echoed through the pack and the crowd erupted into a chorus snarls and nods. Looking at the crowd determined eyes I felt proud as I walked back into my office with Michael and Ethan right behind him.

“Why has those rogues not been found yet?”  I asked angrily not at them but at the situation as I took my seat

“We were almost on their track but lost it as they seemed to have crossed over to the Blackwood pack” Michael responded to me

Blackwood pack was far from my pack it was located at the east center and they have been known to be devious in their act. Many packs are weary of them as it was known that their alpha was power hungry so hearing the rogues had gone that way wasn’t much of a surprise.

“Then write to the alpha and tell him to get those rogues or else we would invade his pack” Alexander said in a threatening tone

“I don’t think there would be a need for that as you have been invited by alpha Clifford to his daughter’s birthday and I think this would be a good opportunity for us to investigate. Our spies has noticed some suspicious movement in Blackwood pack and it seems Alpha Clifford has a hand in it” Ethan presented the invitation card to Alexander .Alexander stared at it for a while and nodded at them.

They both left my presence while still discussing on how to go about in capturing the rogues.

Holding the invitation card in my hand, I closed his eyes as the memory of years ago flashed before me. I had been cursed to live forever and had lived a thousand years hoping I would be able to break the curse. I remembered the prophecy that on the third day of the third month of the full moon I shall meet the one that was destined to break the curse. It has been a thousand years now and many third month of the full moon had passed but I was yet to meet the destined one.

I opened my eyes which was filled with agony. My heart felt heavy from the burden I had been carrying for thousands of years. I regretted the day I had killed that innocent man thinking he was responsible for the death of my parents. What I didn’t know was the man had been cursed and whoever killed him would be the new host of the curse. Being able to live for thousands of years might be the longing of many wolves but not me as I was tired of repeating the same cycle over and over again.

Lost in thoughts I drifted off to sleep and went into a trance. I saw a beautiful lady standing by the river side. Her porcelain skin glowing under the moonlight, her blue eyes sparkled and her golden blonde hair cascaded down her back. I felt drawn to her and was about going to touch her when she suddenly disappeared.

I looked around but I couldn’t find her. His breathing increased in searching for her that he woke up sweating profusely. I wondered who she was as I couldn’t see her face clearly. This was the first time I had dreamt of a woman and felt so much drawn to her that I knew she must be the destined one.

I had just finished the morning routine with my pack before I finally left with Ethan and Michael to the birthday party which was definitely not my thing but I had a far more serious business to why I was going to the Blackwood pack than being around those hypocrites.

I walked into the mansion to see everyone attention on the girl on the stage which I presumed to be Clifford’s daughter. I wondered what was so special about her that got both the young and the older alphas drooling. To me she was nothing special and I didn’t even spare a second glance at her.

Clifford bowed to me to show his respect which I wasn’t interested in but only acknowledged 

“This is my daughter, Cara “Clifford introduced his daughter to me with a broad smile on his face. She looked at me in a seductive manner as she stretched forth her hand for a handshake but immediately redrawn her hand in fear as the look I gave her must have scared the wit out of her. My wolf Jayden expressed his dislike in her as he suddenly felt agitated and I had to tell him to be calm.

“Please this way” Clifford ushered me to the seat he had reserved for me while his daughter cowardly hid behind him still scared of me.

“Keep her away from me or her neck wouldn’t be holding her head soon” my wolf Jayden commanded that made me scoff at him. Jayden was a very powerful and domineering wolf he wasn’t to be messed with. I knew he felt irritated by her and couldn’t stand her wolf smell as it disgusted him.

My wolf suddenly went calm which I found strange I asked him but he didn’t have to answer to the sudden change. I mind linked Ethan and Michael to keep their eyes out from any strange movements. Ethan was reporting the feedback he had received from our spies when I felt someone bumped into me hitting her head on my chest.

Her slender hands held my shirt like her life depended on it, ripping off my buttons and my shirt opened exposing my chest with her hand rested on it. I felt an electrifying current passing through my body and before I could understand what was going on she pulled her hand away in fear which was expected. I quickly held her hand which was extremely fragile that if I used a bit of strength then I would be crushing her bones.
