Chapter 2

Alpha Arthur:

“Graaah!” I press onto my temples as the sharp pain in my head becomes intense. I try to raise my eyes but they seem heavy, like a weight is pressing them down. What’s going on with me?

I instantly hold the bridge of my nose with my fingers as little tears roll down from the sides of my eyes. Pausing for a minute to allow my wolf to handle the pain in my head, a low menacing growl darts out of my lips as I notice I'm naked. 

I scan my eyes through the unfamiliar room trying to study what happened to me. The last I recall is a Gamma she-wolf standing and having a conversation with me in a bar. Did she drug me? Yes, it’s evident she did. And where the hell is she? How dare a lady drug her Alpha and take advantage of him? I will have her pay for this.

I reach out for my pants on the floor, fixing it on my body when my eyes meet something unexpected, a camera. “What the fuck is going on here?” I mumble to myself as I snatch the camera from the tripod stand.

My jaw drops and my eyes wide open as I watch every bit of the crazy short film. That strange lady actually fucked me, and filmed us in the act, something no she-wolf dares to do. What is she up to? Who sent her to me? Thoughts fill my head.

But there is something strange about all this. The more I watch the clip, the more I find myself wanting her. My cock keeps kicking and struggling to break free from my pants.

Why is every part of me awake, and my Wolf, Athan, keeps roaring in my head? Who is this lady, and what is the thing with her that is making me crave for her? I hate to want something because when I do, I make sure to make it mine, and right now, I have the urge to claim her.

I press onto my right temple with my two fingers as I mind link my head bodyguard to come in with the rest of my men. I had asked them a day before this incident to stay at my mansion and not escort me to the bar. I needed my free time after much stress from work.

In just a few minutes, they rush into my room, their heads bowing in respect.

Pointing at the door, “I want you all to check the hotel camera and get the footage of the strange lady that came out of this room. Make sure to search for her everywhere, and bring her to the mansion if found,” I order and walk away to my car, the camera sitting perfectly in my hand.

I get to my mansion, straight to my bedroom, in a flash, I take off my clothes, my eyes never leaving the film. I can’t tell how many times I’ve watched it, and my body keeps getting the same reaction. This is crazy because I don’t know I can want a she-wolf, who is not my fated mate this way.

I try to rest, but I can’t. Her thought fills my head, and my cock still pointing as my feet dart back and forth. 

After a long wait, my men return, but with negative news of not being able to find her. 

“Is she an invisible being?” I roar as I grasp the collar of my head bodyguard. “Fucking go search for her again, or I will have your flesh fed to the vultures,” my hand ran through my hair in frustration.

They leave and after 3 days, they return with the same result. 

My fist clenches by my side as I stand in my office, staring at my useless bodyguards in anger. “And you all came back to inform me like it was good news? How pathetic? I want you all to go into the city, and announce this to all pack members; that I, Alpha Arthur, is ready to grant any reward to the person who finds that lady before two days,” for the first time, I make a pronouncement without a second thought.

My men bow their heads and leave.

I roll up my sleeves and have my seat by the side of my desk, to get back to work. 

“What do you think you are doing, Alpha? Who is this lady, and why does she seem important to you?” My Beta, Loki, who has been sitting quietly in the office, speaks up.

“She has my film with her, Loki. I just have to find her,” I heave a sigh as I find myself fighting to concentrate.

“Are you sure it’s just the film or you’ve fallen for her?”

“I, Alpha Arthur, can’t fall for any lady,” standing up from my seat, “My brain needs to have a proper rest,” and with that, I storm out of my office back to my home.

These few days have been crazy for me as I keep watching that clip. I wish I could explain what’s happening to me, but no one will understand. I don’t know if it’s the lady's audacity that is driving me crazy, or the way she fucked me? What was her motive behind this?

I grasp my hair, and let out a deep breath as I fall flat on my bed.

“Alpha, someone is here to see you about the strange lady,” one of my men announces as he walks into my room.

Without hesitation, I find myself sprinting up from the bed and rushing to the living room. 

“Greetings to you, Alpha Arthur. My name is Chloe. I heard you are searching for Elara,” the informant bows her head.

My brow slightly raises at the mention of the strange lady’s name. She has a beautiful, but unfamiliar name, which only indicates that I’ve never crossed paths with her.

“Where is she!?” I move closer to the informant, pointing at her, “And I will kill you if your information is false.”

“I will take your men to the only place you can find her, Alpha, but you have to promise you won’t go back on your words.”

Fixing my hands in my pockets, my nose slightly wrinkles as I scan the informant's body. “Speak up, where… is she?” 

“Promise me, Alpha.”

I whiff in amusement because I know this lady standing before me is greedy, but I have so much wealth to fulfill whatever her greed wants. “I don’t go back on my words.”

“Thank you, Alpha. Your men can come with me,” she softly utters.

Sending my gaze to my men, “Make sure not to return without Elara, and don’t touch a strand of her hair,” I cock my head, ordering them to leave.

They all bow their heads, and step out of my presence with the informant, while I anxiously await the moment I will set my eyes on Elara.
