CHAPTER 5

Nathan's POV

I knew it! I wasn't lying. She was a Lycan Apex. I smelled that she was not a regular wolf. She had a much more powerful wolf in her. Damn! I was right.

She stood there, unsure of what she had just dons. She was shocked herself, as well as everyone.

Ever since Josh was placed as a trainer, he had never been defeated by anyone. He had been on this since he was a child. He trained all our soldiers before and after war. He was literally one of the strongers werewolves in this pack! Then, how the heck did Carina manage to defeat him with one blow?

If was clear. She was just like her father. A Lycan Apex.

Everyone moved away from her gently and I quickly rushed to the scene where Josh was still lying of the floor. Good thing Lyra, the packs' healer was there. She quickly did some handiwork and then, Josh was carried away, still unconscious.

"You broke the one rule of WormWood training, never use powers to defeat your pack member, especially not your trainer!" I growled at her, my voice as thick as my abs, which she admired a few moments ago.

"But he told me to…"

"Silence! Now, leave, and I'll see you in your room!" I commanded, and she reluctantly obeyed. She should. I was Alpha and I commanded respect!

"Alright, everyone. Training is cancelled for today and the rest of the week. Spend more time on your upcoming tournament!" I said and threw on my shirt.

"What was that, Nathan? Did… did you see that just happened back there?" Dexter, my Beta quickly approached me and querried.

"Well, yes. I did. It is a good thing to have a strong wolf in the pack. It would serve us well. An added advantage!" I said, walking towards the exit.

"No. You don't understand, Nate. Look, she's a cursed breed. Remember whom her father is? His death wasn't just a sacrifice for his daughter or to save his people. The Moon Goddess made it happen. That is what happens to every Lycan Apex. They bring disaster on their pack!"

I stooped walking and looked at Dexter straight in his eyes. "Are you scared of a lady, Dexter?"

"No, never. It's just.."

"Good, then there's nothing to worry about. Get ready. We've laid siege on Ironclaw Pack. We'll take them by surprise soon!" I tapped on his shoulder and left him to his own bewilderment.

Being the Alpha of the pack was no easy task. Ever since my father died, I have been left alone in a world where only the strong could survive. It was a world where you kill or get killed. My father had trained me to kill and dominate. This was the essence of an Alpha.

It's been 5 months now since my mother has been abducted by the Ironclaw Pack. My beloved mother. They managed to lay an ambush, invade the pack, kill my father and take my mother away. My life has never been the same since then. For many years, I refrained from being an Alpha. I just remained the hound depressed teen with no hope, living my life with no purpose. Loosing both parents one day was a deadly thing.

But all that was going to end soon. I would make sure I totally exterminate the whole of Ironclaw. Not even a single adult will be left standing. They must pay for what they did to my parents. It was a war of the strong and the strongest. I was going to prove the strength of WormWood once more!

Josh has always been right. A battle is won long before it takes place. But for now, I had better things to take care of. Carina.

I took a cold shower and wore a black shirt that stuck to my body tightly, revealing my biceps and chest. I then wore a blue jean and a black leather boot. I wasn't going anywhere special, really. I was going to meet Carina!

Brian, my wolf would always feel when around her. That's disgusting. She's just a lost cause from the woods. She's nothing special, right.

Oh fuck! Today proved me wrong. She was a fucking Lycan Apex. Maybe I could use her to fight all our battles. To get back my mother! She should be a good tool.

I got into her room and again, my body melted. I was… drawn to her!

Carina was lying on the bed. She had refused to touch her food. Was she angry? Ha! I scoffed.

"Hey. Your food is getting cold. It's hard to get food these days. So, you better eat up!" I commanded!

"Thank you, Alpha, but I'm not hungry." She replied. I soffed. In a world where people rejects things, it gets taken away from them.

So, I grabbed a seat from the reading table, took the phone and began to eat. It was a Mexican meal. Chicken soup with spicy burger!

She quickly stood up and watched me eat, her eyes were longing to grab the meal out of my hand!

I dipped the burger into the soup and then, I tried to feed her.

As soon as my hand touched her hand, I felt a spark!

What?! Was this an effect of cold? Or perhaps she had released too much power when hitting Josh?

She looked at me in shock too. Her eyeballs dialeted. The feeling I had when I first saw her began to re-emerge again. That strong bond that made me want to hug her and kiss her deeply and passionately and fuck her. That feeling became strong. I could smell that she felt it too!

"Mate!" Brian said excitedly in my head!

What?! How's this even possible? This must be some sort of mistake!

Gradually, I felt my hands begin to wander towards her thigh. As my hands touched her thigh, I felt another spark, but this time, it came with a sweet smell. A mixture of Raspberry and the sweet smell of rainfall.

I gently washed my hands, shifted the stool where her food was to a different direction, then I grabbed her shoulder.

"Do you feel it too?" I asked calmly as I pinned her to the bed. She didn't try to stop me. She even seemed to want me do more.

"I… I do! Are we truly mates?" She asked calmly.

"Well, spread your legs open. Let's find out!"
