Chapter 5: Alpha Judah

Alpha Judah, the most spoiled brat and happy-go-lucky Alpha, was the next in line to the throne of Broel Forest Kingdom. He had busied himself with human females just for fun and a good time but never really had thoughts of having a mate or heirs, a luxury only he could afford at the time. He never abided by any rules, even in his pack. 

He was wooing someone he met at the club when a sudden knock on his hotel room's door created a sound. He already knew who it was by the smell of someone behind the door. 

"I need to go," Judah told the female human on top of him, driving mad like a cowgirl. She was about to reach the peak of pleasure when Judah lifted her and laid her on the bed. 

"What the-"

"Sorry. I need to go," Judah said again before putting on all his clothes and leaving the woman.

"Hey! I haven't even come yet!" the woman screamed in annoyance; just when she found a nice toy she wanted to play with, he decided to go and left her hanging. "Where are you going?" 

Judah didn't answer her and opened the door and closed it after. 

Gaxton was already there waiting for him. 

"Alpha, the king wished to see you," he said. 

Alpha Judah nodded at him.

"How's my father? Is there any slight improvement with his condition?" he asked before hopping into his car along with Gaxton. 

"I'm afraid he's getting worse, Alpha. He sent me to fetch you."

It took them an hour and a half before they arrived at the heart of Broel Forest, where his father's castle was located. Everyone bowed at him before entering his father's chambers. 

"I want to see my future grandchildren, Judah," his father told him. "Do you have plans to give me at least one? You have already wasted a lot of your seed planting to any human females you meet every hour which you know won't conceive you a child," the King said. "If you can't give me what I want until I die, Cronus will be my successor whether you like it or not."

Judah felt irritated.

"Don't worry, dad, I'll give you what you want before this year ends," he replied, smiling, but deep inside, he was fuming, especially when he saw Harry's smirk. 

Ah, how he hated his half-brother's guts. Judah will do everything to prevent the bastard from having the throne. 

Now, Judah's carefree life has changed. The King was on his deathbed and asked him for a grandchild. He was extremely desperate to find someone and needed to find her now. 

There were few females in his pack to choose from since his pack was more prone to having a male than females. Most of the females are mated, and there wasn't even any Haquihana in his pack. 

Alpha Judah became a widow at eighteen when his mate died from an uncommon viral infection called Rabies. She studied forestry in Sedona Forest when she was bitten by what her mate recalled as a wild raccoon. Since she was a werewolf, she disregarded it thinking her wolf could kill whatever infection the Raccoon might transfer from her. Later on, she would pay dearly. Werewolves don't have any immunity from any viral infection from mother nature. It was cruel, but that's how nature works. 

Due to this rare death, the four kingdoms and the council sent wolves to the human university to try and study this viral infection. At this moment, the infection has been controlled. 

Alpha Judah turned to the council for help, and they agreed to help him, and a few others found a mate under an extinction clause. This was no time for games. He needed a mate and children as soon as possible and would do almost anything to make it happen. 

That's why he was here with fifteen other hungry men, watching over the forest and waiting for the females to be released. The rules were simple:

Don't kill on purpose only when needed; whichever one caught your eyes and you got to mark as yours. 

Judah's strategy was to at least catch that took their allotted three minutes ahead, start as an advantage, and run. That shows there was at least a bit of fighting in her, which would likely make her a good Luna and Queen. 

He heard Haquihanas have their unique smell every month when fertile. He had never met one because they were so rare. It even took the council to find these ten girls ahead before they reached the mature age for mating. And they are somewhat mouth-salivating. 

When the females were released, Judah watched intently as a blond and a raven-haired too off as quickly as possible side by side, and he could tell they were working together to avoid being mated. 

Judah smirked; he saw that as a small challenge. Judah saw the Raven haired was naturally faster and had an instinct. Maybe he would go for that one. 

Judah could tell that the two alphas picked up the blond girl's scent as easily as he did, and they were practically salivating at the thought of her. But the other short woman with the blond girl has a unique scent of tangerine and vanilla, although it was heavily coated by grape and rosemary. 

Judah wasn't expecting a Haquihana female wolf to secret scent like this, making any wolves salivate. It was different from the scent of a mate. It was unique and mind-blowing. He could practically hear the howl and excitement of his wolf.

Judah didn't think the blond was worth the trouble of fighting the two other alphas, and that wasn't the one his wolf was urging him to pursue anyways. He wanted the short, raven-haired girl. And he'll chase her. 

After three minutes, Judah shifted quickly, his bones cracking and making a loud, sickening snapping sound, and sprinted after the girls. If one of the alphas happened to concede and let the other Alpha have the blonde girl, then the defeated one would turn to the raven girl he wanted. And he couldn't let that happen.
