The Denver Alpha

“Alpha Lain is coming to our pack tonight.” 

“Really? Oh my moon goddess, I can’t wait to see him. He’s ridiculously handsome.” 

“But why is he coming here so suddenly? He had never visited our pack before!” 

“Who knows? I’ve heard that he’s looking for his mate. Wish I could be his mate…” 

Lain Osiris! The man who holds the title of Blood Alpha. His name screamed with danger, pain, terror, and death. He was just twenty-six years old, but he had killed thousands of people. He looked handsome and gorgeous, but he’s a beast! A nightmare of every man but yet women are lusting after him. He was.. Just nothing but a blood sucking lycan. He needs others' blood to live, and he was no different than a vampire. 

Once in every five hundred years, a man was selected to be the Blood Alpha. The man who becomes the Blood Alpha has limited life and limited desires. Everyone called it the curse of the moon goddess. But to Lain, it was not a curse. He was so proud of himself because he became the Blood Alpha, and he thanked the moon goddess for blessing him with such power. He became the god of death with the power. 

“My lady, we didn’t see you coming.” 

Elvira was pulled back to reality from her thoughts about Blood Alpha hearing a voice of one of the maids who were talking about him. Biting her lower lip, Elvira looked at the maid and smiled forcefully. She was walking past the dining room, but hearing them talking about Alpha Lain, she stopped and listened to them carefully. She was unaware of the fact that Alpha Lain is coming here tonight. 

“Well.. I.. I’m going.. Continue your work Sima.” With a smile, Elvira hurried her steps away from the dining hall. Her heart was hammering against her chest with terror. She was really scared of Alpha Lain. Clutching the long skirt of her dress that she was wearing, she ran to see her father. Pushing open the door to the study room in the mansion, she barged in without even caring about anything to see her father, Alpha Seamus was having a discussion with his beta and a few warriors. 

“ELVIRA UMAY! I have warned you not to barge into the study room like this!” Her father’s voice was cold as he said. She immediately shook her head with apology and looked at everyone who was present there, looking at her with questioning gazes. She sighed and parted her lips to speak. 

“Is it true that.. Alpha Lain is coming here tonight?” She aimed a question at everyone in the study room. Hearing her question, everyone clenched their jaws and lowered their heads. So they knew? They all knew that Alpha Lain is coming here tonight, but she didn’t know! Elvira stared at her father and pressed her lips together. 

“He’s coming here, but that doesn’t mean I’m showing you to him, Elvira.. Don’t be scared. Just stay in your room all the time. Don’t step out. I was about to come to you after this meeting.” She nodded at her father obediently and lowered her head. She didn't need any advice for that; she would not come out of her room until tomorrow, and it was obvious. She was terrified of Lain Osiris. 

“Even if he sees you, nothing will happen. You won’t feel anything for him. Just ignore his  presence Elvi..” Suddenly, Elvira lifted her head and looked at her father’s unbothered look. He looked so calm and nonchalant as he said that, but she couldn't understand what he was saying. She won’t feel anything for him? What was that? Of course, she would never feel anything for a man like him. He was totally a total killer machine. 

“What.. Do you mean?” She was confused by her father’s words. 

“Nothing. Go to your room, Elvi. I will come in a while.” Without arguing, Elvira turned and walked out of the study room. Coming into her room, she laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling above her. While she was staring at it, her mind was suppressed by the memories from ten years ago. 

It was the first time Elvira saw Lain. She was just a ten-year-old kid when she witnessed the most brutal thing in her life. She saw Lain killing more than five men at once. She was hiding behind a bush while covering her mouth with both her hands because of the fear. She was scared to make any sound. She saw him, sucking those men’s blood as if he was choosing which man’s blood was the most delicious. 

“How fucking disgusting your blood tastes.. Ugh.. I didn’t have to suck on your blood. Shit!” 

“Just like your appearance, your blood is also a shit!” 

Throwing dead bodies on the ground heartlessly, he spoke to himself with a displeasure filled face. His voice was so powerful and held the aura of an emperor. Elvira still remembered his profile. He was devilishly handsome. His pitch black messy hair, his thick dark eyebrows, and his almond-shaped emerald eyes, which held blood thirst. 

“Don’t!” Elvira opened her eyes and forced herself not to think about his face. For years, she failed to forget his face. 

That scenario haunted her every night. She was totally terrified. Even if ten years have passed, she still couldn’t get those scenes out of her mind. Elvira’s fingers trembled even remembering that thing. She would never ever want to see him again in her lifetime. Thinking about it, she opened her eyes and looked at the clock to see the time. It was five in the evening. That means he will come here in a while. 

With a fear-filled, clumsy heart, she sat up on the bed and covered her face with both hands. She shouldn’t be scared of him. He was no threat to her and he doesn’t even know her existence in this world. Calm down Elvira, he will not harm you. Don’t be afraid.. She thought. Her thoughts didn’t even help herself not to stay without being afraid, but she decided to ignore everything just like her father asked her to. 

…………

“Sima… come here.” Elvira slightly opened the door of the room at night and saw Sima walking past her room. She immediately called her. It was eleven at night, and she wanted to know what was happening outside since she was forbidden from stepping out of the room. Seeing her, Sima immediately came into the room and shut the door behind her. 

“My lady.. You shouldn’t do this! Alpha warned us not to let you out” Elvira nodded at Sima and sighed. She knew it but she wanted to know. 

“I know.. I’m not coming out. Just wanted to know what’s happening outside. Did Alpha Lain come? Is he with my dad? What is he doing here?” She asked so many questions at once. Sima pressed her lips together and stared at the clumsy girl in front of her before parting her lips to speak. 

“Yes, Alpha Lain is here. He’s discussing something with our Alpha.” Elvira nodded. She would ask her dad what he was talking to Alpha Lain about. Elvira parted her lips to speak, but before she could speak, Sima spoke, making Elvira’s eyes widened. 

“But.. Alpha Lain looked somewhat weird. His sharp eyes are traveling everywhere inside of the dining hall, and I even saw him sniffing air a few times. Most importantly, he has a small sneer on his face. He’s handsome and there was no doubt, but I felt fear when I saw him” Sima was an honest woman. She was in her mid-thirties, and she was the one who took care of Elvira almost every time. So, she said everything to Elvira without hiding anything. 

“Really? But why would he??” 

“SIMA…. Come… serve more champagne to the table.” Elvira heard the voice of the head butler of the mansion. As soon as Sima heard the voice, she simply left the room without answering Elvira’s question. After she left, Elvira locked the door of the room and walked into the washroom. She wanted to go to sleep after getting a fresh shower. 

Elvira stayed in her bathtub while applying healthy body lotions on her radiant skin. After freshening herself, she changed into a nightdress. A nightdress that was revealing her skin too much. But she didn’t care because she was going to sleep now. After combing her long hip length hair, she braided it loosely before going to bed. Then she closed her  eyes to sleep. 

After some time, while she was sleeping, Elvira was jolted awake hearing the loud sound of a door being kicked open. She sat up on the bed subconsciously. Her heart rammed inside of her with shock. She looked at the entrance of the room to see a familiar strong, handsome man standing there with a piercing stare. Soon, he growled. 

“MINE!!!!!” 

Elvira was terrified as her eyes were covered with tears. Isn’t… isn’t this Lain Osiris? What is he doing here? Why is he standing there after kicking her doorbell? Her heart was covered with endless questions which made her body covered with cold sweat. Reflective shudders ran through her body without stopping with his glowing emerald orbs on hers.
