Who I see in this lady’s house startles me, it’s Jack, the deceptive alpha. He is seated on the couch and he looks shocked to see me also. I turned to the lady who owns the beautiful humble home and I decide to interrogate her.She has no idea who this man is, he is a literal trickster, and he cares for no one else but himself. I don’t want him using her.“What is he doing here?” I ask her and she chuckles. “I asked you a question, I did not say a little jokey joke,” I say to her and she looks taken aback but yet answers my question.“He is a guest here, my guest,” She tells me, and then she walks away from me. By the look on her face, I can tell she is pissed at me. I may have been a bit harsh when I spoke, but nevertheless, I still got my answer.She walks to the couch and slumps her body down on it. She folds her arms and stares at both of us.“I am her guest,” Jack says as he stands from the couch and walks over to me. He has had his clothes changed because it is not the same one
“You are quite bold,” I tell Jennifer and she looks at me with a slightly confused look. “What do you mean?” She asks me and I chuckle.“The fact that you are professing your love to someone right in front of a man you just met today,” I tell her, and she scoffs lightly.“Correction, I did not just meet you today. I have known you all my life and have even looked up to you. You are the leader of the whole werewolf territory, how could I not know you?” She replies to me and the smile on my face weakens.I love how she talks about me as if I am a hero of some sort, but she has no idea how much shame I feel right now. The last time an Alpha faced The Council was decades ago, the fact that I became the next Alpha to face them makes me feel heinous.“Listen, I don’t trust Jack, but that does not mean that you don’t have to too. He is a real nice guy and he saved my life. The truth is that the only reason that I don’t trust him is that he is a Deceptive Alpha, but I think it’s time for tha
In about fifteen minutes, the chariot reaches its destination. A huge castle comes into view as I exit. I can’t remember the last time that I came here, it has been too long, but my memory is flawless and I can still remember the steak I had the last time I was here to have dinner with Erik and Ramsey. I can still remember how intense Erik’s hate for me was.“Right this way,” The royal guard leads me to the entrance of the castle. I can feel so many eyes on me, a lot of people are here and are also trying to get into the castle. A huge fence keeps everyone out, including the royal guard and me.“The feast has drawn people from all over the town, but not everyone is allowed to enter. Only first-class people and second class are allowed in, and at that, it is still difficult to get in,” The guard explains to me as we weave through the crowd.“Why do I have to be here?” I ask under my breath as I follow his lead.As soon as we are at the entrance, the guard gives a signal to the two buff
My palms and forehead are sweating and I can not help but feel nervous. How the hell does Erik know about Vanessa, and that I slept with her? If anyone else finds out about this, it would be hell for me.“You know what, I change my mind. There is no use in telling you,” Erik says as he chuckles. He has a smirk on his face that is causing the anger in me to arise.I close the distance between us as I rush toward him with great speed and I hold him in the air by his clothes. He does not try to fight back, which agitates me further because he’s laughing. Does he think that this is a joke? I could literally kill him right now!“Whoa there, Jaden. I think you have forgotten who’s in charge,” He tells me as a cocky smile plays on his lips, but I can see a hint of fear and nervousness in his eyes.“Now put me back on the damn floor before I have guards barging in here in seconds,” He threatens me and I loosen my grip on his collar while I bring him back to the floor. As soon as his feet tou
I am Jaden West, Alpha the of Denari pack. I work along with other powerful packs who have their own respective Alphas. We live in a vast area of wilderness called The Werewolf Territory, and there are three towns. The war between my people and the humans has finally ended, and we have had peace for five years now. But with war, comes casualties. My parents are dead, they died as heroes. They were killed by the leader of the Human Territory during the war, and my older brother who was supposed to be Alpha of my pack disappeared. I have searched everywhere for him, but have had no luck in finding him. I was next in line to be Alpha, and I had no choice but to ascend to power. The leader of the Human Territory is called General Ross, and it is said that he single-handedly killed two Alpha werewolves when he was in his prime. He is evil and full of hatred for my kind. How did the war end between us and the humans, and who won? Well, no one did. No one won the war. General Ross
“I see something,” Daniel says as he looks beyond the metal fencing. We all look at him, waiting for him to elaborate. “It’s an elephant.” He adds as he smirks. “You’re lying,” Isaac says, hope lacing his words. I can tell that he’s very happy that we have found such a big animal, considering that we have just started our hunt. “I’m not...it’s right there,” Daniel says while pointing ahead but we don’t see anything. His vision is better than ours so I guess it makes sense why we can’t see the animal. “Search around..see whether there’s anyone,” I give the order, and Daniel does what I say. We shouldn’t be here, this is beyond risky. “Umm...I see no one.” He responds after searching around, and I smile. “Search again,” I inform him, and he sighs. I have to make sure a human ain’t lying in wait for us. “Okay..okay.” He says under his breath as he does another visual search. “No one...the coast of clear.” He says when he is done. “Okay, let’s get going then,” I announce, and my tea
“Jaden, Jaden..” I hear a faint voice as someone shakes me awake. When I open my eyes, I see a blurry image of Isaac, and then my eyes finally clear. He is still in his werewolf form, which tells me that it is still night and not much time has passed since I was knocked unconscious by god knows what. “What happened?” I ask as I try to get up from the ground. The back of my head hurts so bad, and when I try to touch it with my hand, I realize that I am indeed bleeding. “Someone threw a stone at you, it was one of the humans,” Issac informs me, and I groan. Of course, one of them did. My team members have all shifted fully, but for some reason they have been able to control their urge to attack the humans, which is unbearably difficult to do. I know this must be hard for them, considering that all our senses heighten when we shift; so I bet they all can smell the blood that runs through the veins of these people. “How long was I out?” I ask no one in particular as I dust the dirt
I drop my hand from his shoulder, and he sighs as he watches me with satisfaction. “I’m sure there is an agreement we can come up with,” His daughter says, and he frowns. “Vanessa, please do not speak. Let us leave,” He replies to her, but she stands her ground. I’m starting to like this lady. “Father, let’s not pretend, you know we too are running low on food, the animals are getting less as each day passes,” She reminds him, and it’s clear that she has her father’s full attention now. “Okay then, what would you suggest?” He asks her tentatively as he eyes me. “We can take the Alpha as our prisoner and let the others go,” She tells him, and my eyes bulge out. “What? No way!” I blurt out as I glare at her. “Listen...this would not be forever. You would only be caged for a week. During this time, you would hunt for our villages and bring back enough food. After the week is over, we can release you to go back to your pack,” She explains to me, but it still doesn’t sound like the
