Alpha Marcus rushed to Gunnar's side, but as soon as he got there he could smell the silver that was coming from his open wound, which could explain why he wasn't healing. Pack members were desperately trying to stop the bleeding, but they were unsuccessful and in the end Gunnar told them to stop. He knew there was no use in trying because of the silver poisoning his body. Alpha Marcus stepped forward and took hold of Gunnar's hand, hoping to ease his pain slightly, but in the end Gunnar had lost so much blood that he died in his Alpha's arms.
The death of Gunnar shook almost everyone in the pack, as he was almost everyone's friend. Especially Marcus because he had just lost some of his pack members all because of those heartless humans, he had sworn to avenge Gunnar's death and the other pack members who died in the process.
The pack gathered together in their werewolves form as Alpha Marcus stood on the mountain, staring down at his pack, as the full moon shone brightly behind him.
He stood propped up on his hind paws, the pride of his heritage in his hearts as he howled to the moon in honour of goddess Selene, wishing for her to shower her blessings. The pack typically joined him in howling and it rises as the howl continues, creating an illusion that the pack was larger than it really is.
***
One week later.
Nevada; The City of Las Vegas
Dressed in a cool black T-shirt which is just bodycon type on his figure and making his body look more alluring, his long legs holding the blue trousers which is design with white straps on it and a stylish pair of shoes and crossing his legs as he was seated on a leather couch in one of the trending clubs in Las Vegas, Marcus couldn't help but sneer as he watched the humans dancing before him and having fun in disgust. He hated that he had to be in the same place as these disgusting beings who had killed a lot of his brothers and families and yet they were still dancing happily, some drunk to their asses while he was suffering from a bad mood for having to tolerate these weak beings, called humans!
Beside him, there was a man, named Duncan, he was also a werewolf, a member of Blue Water's pack and also a Beta, he is the only person Marcus considered has a friend or even a best friend. He was the only trusted friend of Marcus and he was also a slave, alongside Marcus and some other Omegas during the time of their egoistic Alpha, who does nothing but think about himself.
" You have to control your hate, if you keep on fuming, you might do the unthinkable and I wouldn't want that. I hate seeing these humans too but remember we're on a mission. " Duncan stated, trying to calm his friend's nerves.
While gulping down a glass of tequila, something caught his attention, it was a petite brunette girl dressed in a grey trousers and a baggy white top as she passed through the crowd of people dancing, she is so different and out of place in the club unlike other female humans who were dressed in skimpy gowns, but something about her sparked an unknown feeling in Marcus and it all seemed weird to him because he had never felt so...possessive and wanting to have someone. Her face was not clear enough but he watched every of her movements, as she constantly bites her lower lip and Marcus couldn't help but have the urge to feed on those lips.
An unknown force drew him to her as his gaze met with her eyes, she had big brown eyes and dark brown hair that suited her complexion very well. Her eyes looked like deep dark pools that reflected everything, including light. They gazed at each other and even though there was a large distance between them, the tension could still be felt and it was heating up not only the space between them, but the whole room. The heat between them didn't seem to stop, not until she shyly dropped her gaze, blinking her eyelashes profusely.
Alessia walked into the club in search of her best friend Zelda. She was welcomed by the sound of very loud music and sweaty people that were almost everywhere, grinding their bodies together. Everyone around looked almost wasted, only a few weren't.
She tried walking past the crowd that were dancing by avoiding bumping into someone or someone bumping into her. She wasn't used to all of this, as she was an introvert, so she stood at the bar as her eyes wandered round the crowd, hoping to get a glance of Zelda, but she was nowhere to be found. She became undeniably worried as to where she could be and hoped that nothing bad had happened to her. After all, she was at home when an unknown number called her, telling her that her friend was drunk and she had forgotten her house address. She had quickly stopped what she was doing and ran to this place as soon as the call ended.
But, not seeing her friend anywhere in sight made her even more worried but then she noticed a piercing gaze on her. She slowly raised her head up then her eyes met with his dark coloured eyes. She didn't understand why he was staring at her like that, as if he wanted to devour her. She could feel the intensity in their gaze, and the feelings she had never felt before began to build up so she decided to break the gaze as she was beginning to feel so nervous.
She quickly found a chance to walk away and she did, her phone rang and she immediately picked it up.
" I called to inform you that I already dropped your friend in her apartment. " And, the call ended. Alessia stared at the phone with a blank expression, she had thought he said Zelda couldn't remember their house address and she had come rushing here.
Not wanting to stay here any longer, she walked out of the club and hailed a cab. Meanwhile, Marcus had stood up and followed her till she boarded a cab, his wolf couldn't help but howl in excitement.
What the hell just happened?! He had an eye encounter with a human and he didn't give her his scary glare but instead he stared at her with great longing. Who was that human girl? And, why was his wolf excited over a mere human when he usually hated them?
To be continued...
The following day.Alessia sat up quickly from the bed. Her eyelids were still tired, but she had to get ready for her first day at her new job. She yawned loudly as she got out of bed and ran her fingers through her unkempt hair. She grumbled since she was still tired but needed to get dressed. Her eyes widened in surprise as she examined the wall clock: it was 8:30 a.m and she was supposed to resume work at 9:00 a.m.She went to an interview in Walter's Enterprise last week and fortunately for her, she was hired as the office interior designer and her duty was to make sure the offices had comfortable and healthy furniture. She was sure going to love her new job.She dashed to the bathroom, brushing her teeth and taking a bath. How did she manage to sleep that m
Alessia looked at some of the paintings and flooring samples she found in her folder as she observed the offices, looking for what furniture or designs would fit in perfectly in them, and also measuring the size of tables and also the ventilation of each office as she planned everything out on her tablet.People looked at her and although they knew she was a professional, they were also mesmerised by her beauty.Alessia asked her secretary to arrange a meeting with the bosses for her as she had to show them the plan and let them go through it and state their opinions of her designs. She's really starting to like her new job but her mind often drifts to that man. Her secretary arranged the meeting into which the bosses agreed to, so they were now seated in the boardroom as all eyes focused on Alessia who stood at the front of the whole room, her eyes drifted to the two empty seats, one at the ending of the table which seems to be the chair of the CEO and another one beside the CEOs ch
In the night.Alessia laid on the bed as her thoughts drifted back to the night before, when her gaze met with that weird man. Why does she feel so affected by him?! It seems an unknown force keeps drawing her to him even though they had just met a day ago. She was sure not going to get enough of this because another scary man was also staring at her intently, which scared the hell out of her but didn't allow her expression to be visible enough to create any suspicions from Zelda.Her head began to form worry lines as she thought about it, then the ringtone of her phone interrupted her thoughts, she sat up from her bed and picked her phone from the mini-table beside her bed.The caller ID was her mum and she smiled, she really needed to hear the voice of her mother. It has been a long time since she last visited the house of her mother."Hey hun, you okay?""Yeah, I'm good, thanks, you?" "Yes, thanks. Are you eating enough? Do you need anything?" "I don't need anything, mum. How's
The morning goes by quickly with Alessia ordering and placing the designs where it was supposed to be. Her mind was occupied with work but that didn't stop her from thinking about that strange man, she was fond of calling him strange since she didn't know his name.Alessia was talking to one of the workers appointed to her when Collins, one of her colleagues, walked up to her with a charming smile." You're such a hard-working and beautiful lady, Alessia " he complimented and Alessia smiled in return. She knew that Collins had an eye for her since she started working here but she doesn't feel anything for him because he wasn't her type, or maybe she has no specific type in a man." Thank you, Collins. You're not too bad yourself. You appear so charming. " She replied and that made his smile widen. He appeared to be handsome but she felt nothing for him." I just wanted to ask, if we could go out tonight for dinner. " He said." I... "" Please don't reject my offer. It's just a friend
Marcus didn't understand why he reacted like that but he had to. He doesn't want her but he also doesn't want her to be with anyone else, it's like a game of tug of war going on in his head." And, who are you to her?! " Collins asked nervously, as he stared at Alessia for an explanation." You wouldn't want to find out who I am, because if you try to, you will only end up digging your own grave. " The deliberate solemn in his voice made Collins shiver all over in fear as his eyes were wide with terror. Who could this man be to Alessia?! Could this impulsive man be her boyfriend?! For him to threaten him and claim possession of her the way he did earlier, it all made sense to him that this man must either be Alessia's lover or boyfriend." I'm sorry, I didn't know she was already taken. " He faked a giggle as he stood up to take his leave, his hands trembling due to the intense gaze of Marcus, he tried not to look into his eyes as he quickly walked away. Alessia just sat still, watch
Thursday morning.Alessia walked into her office only to be informed that all her orders had arrived and her secretary had signed the paperwork as the receiver, but when she inspected the delivery, she came to know that some things were missing or rather not delivered and that made her really disappointed. She didn't have any other choice but to go back to the mall to sort out the mix up.Alessia checked everything else had been delivered and was right, before leaving the office, getting into her car and making her way to the mall where she had originally ordered the items from. The whole journey there she hoped that this problem would be able to be peacefully rectified, especially as the paperwork had already been signed to say that everything was present and accounted for. After a while Alessia pulled onto the mall's car park and parked her car.Alessia walked into the mall, passing the security guards dressed in their uniforms. As usual a salesgirl walked to her, but it wasn't the
After making sure that the mix-up was sorted out, even though he still didn't show himself to his staff and just made a few calls to the manager, everything was resolved. Alessia left his office happy but with a hazy look, but just a drop of her blood had sent him into a frenzied hunger and he couldn't help wanting to feed on something warm and fresh to satisfy his bloodlust.Kane had to get out of there, he had to leave his office before he slaughtered everyone there and feasted on their blood. He looked at the door to his office, but knew that he wouldn't be able to use that as his exit without being seen by someone and stopped. He looked to the window overlooking the vast and beautiful woods, deciding that it would be the perfect getaway. He opened it as wide as he could and then jumped out. He landed on his feet and immediately took off running towards the woods. Once under the cover of the trees he stopped and closed his eyes. He started listening for a heartbeat, sniffing the a
In the midst of her morning haze, Alessia's eyes fluttered open, two thoughts struck her.Firstly, She accepted her mother's proposal to come spend the weekend with her. And secondly, she was going to her mother's house today and she doesn't know what awaits her.She ran a lazy hand through her messy hair, as she stood up from her bed and robotically began grabbing the things she was going to take to the cottage as she began placing them into her suitcase. When she was sure she had finished packing all her things, she walked into the bathroom to take a shower. Although she had to go to work soon, she would make sure to return early so she would have a chance to head to the cottage. She double checked and was satisfied to see that her suitcase was properly packed.She walked into the living room, seeing her best friend Zelda on the couch, watching TV, she couldn't help but smile." Good morning. Aren't you going to work today? " She teased, knowing fully well that Zelda was a lazy ass
