The Alpha’s Quest

***Leila POV*** “shhhh,” a familiar voice hissed from my bedroom. And outside, my hands froze over the doorknob. “Stop, someone might hear us,”I knew that voice anywhere, It sounded like my best friend Alessia. I felt a sickening knot tie in my belly. As soon as I heard my fiance, Damian replied to her. “And who cares if they do?”I froze for a moment. What the hell could be going on there? I thought, my brows furrowed. Through the keyhole on my door, I could see them lying on my bed, with Damian caressing her, urging her to consent to his erotic desires.“What will the pack say when they find out?” Alessia purred, darting her eyes at him. Her tone, was seductive as she trailed her finger across Damian’s lips which irked me at that moment. “Alpha Xander hates a fuss in the pack and Leila would be heartbroken when she finds out what we are about to do.”“I’ll protect you from all of them, remember I am your knight in shining armor,” Damian said, lowering himself to kiss her forehea

***Leila POV****Alpha Xander was observing the scene before him with displeasure. His lips pressed against each other. There was dried blood splattered all over his face, shirt, and hands. Which meant he just come back from a battle. “Don’t let me repeat myself,” he ordered, his voice was frosty cold. I noticed my father's posture stiffen slightly from behind me. But he soon regained composure. Stepping away from my stepmother and step-sister, he moved towards Xander. “Alpha, welcome back,” he said. “I am sure you…..”“Don’t waste my time, Carlson,” Xander replied cutting him off. I felt my face flush at his thundering command. Inside me, Lea whined, hiding her face in her paws. “Yes Alpha,” my father replied, slowly lowering his head in a show of respect. “This is a simple matter, I am sorry that this dishonorable scene is the first thing you'll see upon your return.”The atmosphere was enveloped in silence for what seemed like forever. I could see the rage burning in Xander’s

Xander’s POVFor two years now, I had kept it to myself. The knowledge that Leila was my mate. By the time I found out, my reputation as Alpha was already set in stone. Those who knew me would say, I was cold, ruthless, powerful, and uncompromising. I had lived all my life, caring less about finding a mate or starting a family. But on a particular day, my entire world changed forever. That was on her eighteenth birthday. On that day, I was drinking with my friend Carlson when he told me. “I don't feel like going back home,” he murmured. It was his bastard daughter’s birthday. She just turned eighteen. Turning eighteen for werewolves meant that they were officially transitioning into adulthood, taking up certain responsibilities and also finding a mate. Each wolf was given a gift, a small pouch that contained wolfsbane, according to tradition. Everyone in the pack knew how he treated her. She was never accepted as a family member. Carlson was involved with a woman who wasn't his

Xander pov"Get Carlson caged now!," I ordered through the mind link and immediately there was an uproar at the other side of the pack. I headed straight to the building where Leila laid her head every night. The moment I got to the main door, I kicked it open and burst in only to see an empty apartment. My strong feet walked into it and I headed straight to her room like I knew where it was from the beginning when the truth is, I had never been in there. I opened the little door to her room and couldn't help but take a deep breath as I sighted an already-washed picture hanging on the left side of the wall. "Leila" I whispered and ran towards the wall in a few seconds, grabbing the picture the moment it got to my palm.I looked through the rooms but there was no sign of her in it, so I walked away and shut the main door.When I got back to my office, I saw a bracelet on my table so I ordered Romero to show up through the mind link, and in minutes, he appeared "Who owns this," I aske

Chapter 9Xander's povLater that evening when it was time to visit the location where the triumph procession will take place. I, Alpha Xander paced all over the room fuming. If I wasn't strong enough, I would have broken down in tears because somehow, I felt as though I was losing a part of me. I sat on my chair and a few minutes later, I heard a knock on my office door. "Come in," I said without looking up 'Alpha it's time" my Delta said to me. I looked up at him for a moment, sick of what to say.One of the things I loved was orderliness but my pack was nothing as such at that moment. I wished everything would go back to normal at that moment but was that possible? Carlson, my beta was in the Red Den and it was the same for a few other important people. I am not done though. I hope for this arrest to carry on if it will bring my mate back to me."Postpone it to the next three days," I ordered Romero and signaled that he leave.Obediently, he bowed and left. The office then went
