Chapter 5: Alpha Ryan

Alpha Nathan is prudent; he drove me to the boundary, then stopped. He looked at me with some sympathy. "Please live well."

I smiled involuntarily when I heard his warm voice; I nodded confidently. "That's for sure."

A cold wind blew over me as I stepped down, making me shiver.

"You're Erza, aren't you?" On the other side of the boundary, a man slowly approached.

I hide my fear by not looking him in the eye, and I nod. "Um."

“Please step over here and come with me. Alpha doesn't like to wait, so please hurry up." The man said.

“Alpha waiting for me?” I asked suspiciously. But the other man didn't care about my question; he just needed one hand to grab me up and throw me into the car with a force that was not light.

I swallowed, said. “My suitcase still hasn't been taken...”

“Alpha doesn't like any of the other packs appearing here. We will provide everything you need to come to the Black Moon center.” The man coldly replied.

I silently and tacitly agreed; I have no regrets about those clothes because none of them belong to me; it's all Erina giving them to me when she didn't need them.

The man's driving speed was fast and steady; I watched the moving scene outside the window and couldn't help but be amazed; this was the first time I saw the other world after so many years in my pack.

After an hour or so, the car stopped. Max got out and opened the car door for me. I accidentally learned his name through a note on the chair. But Max is a tranquil and cold person; along the way, when I'm curious, I ask him, but he keeps silent or answers curtly.

I wonder if the people in Black Moon are all that scary, it's even more complicated when I get ridiculed by my pack members.

"Get out," Max said. “Alpha is waiting for you inside the mansion.”

I stared blankly at the magnificent mansion in front of me. It's dark black and more extensive than I imagined, I whispered. “Is this where Alpha lives?”

Werewolf's hearing is sharp; II guess my breath Max can hear too, and now he answers. “This is our Alpha's private home. He's waiting for you upstairs, and I'm not allowed in, so you have to go by yourself."

I don't want to admit it, but now that my legs are soft, I try to stand up straight to hide my anxiety. "Okay."

While I was worried about meeting Alpha Ryan, then, from a distance, a woman rushed over lightning fast and kicked me in the stomach.

I froze; I couldn't dodge and ate the kick. I staggered and fell, clutching my stomach and groaning a few times.

The next instant, I saw the contempt and disappointment in her eyes, and she sighed and turned to see Max, then lamenting. "Too bad!"

Max raised an eyebrow, pulling me to my feet, but he used so much force that my arm was about to come loose.

"She just arrived, don't overdo it." Max reminded. "Evelyn, this is the person Alpha is pointing at, don't be stupid enough to hurt her."

I winced because my arm was being lifted, and he was also injuring me.

Evelyn laughed and looked into my wrinkled face. "If you don't let her go, she won't go to meet our Alpha."

Only then did Max notice and drop me to the ground. I wobbled a little before I could stand.

Max frowned at Evelyn. “Alpha asked you to come to take her inside?”

Evelyn lifted her chin arrogantly. "How? Are you jealous of me?” Then she laughed with satisfaction. "It's okay to be jealous because only I can go inside to meet Alpha directly, and you can't."

I feel the cold air radiating around Max right now.

"I can't believe you couldn't dodge one of my kicks." Evelyn looked at me curiously. “How do you practice every day? Your body is not toned at all.”

Evelyn pouted and squeezed my arm.

I said shyly. "I don't practice."

"What?" Evelyn almost screamed.

Max also frowned at me. “Why not practice? Are all your pack's werewolves that lazy?"

I shook my head, wanting to explain to them that I didn't have a wolf, so that I couldn't practice. But as if something had happened, Evelyn made a severe face and spoke to me. “Follow me; Alpha wants to see you right now.”

No doubt, Alpha Ryan had probably communicated with them and ordered them to take me to him.

Evelyn was in a hurry; she strode so fast that I had difficulty chasing her. After a while, she seemed to have realized my speed couldn't keep up with hers, then stopped. But before I could rejoice, she grabbed my collar and ran forward. She led me across two corridors in front of a room at the end of the hall. I guess that while standing in this room, Alpha Ryan saw the whole scene we were in the courtyard earlier.

Evelyn laid me down gently, not roughly like Max. But what surprised me the most was that the werewolves in Black Moon were all that strong. As far as I know, Erina is also a solid female wolf in our pack, but she won't be able to do it like Evelyn.

“Come in; Alpha is waiting for you, and remember not to be rude to him.” Evelyn reminded her, then darted out the window and landed softly in the yard.

I nervously straightened my hair and clothes, cautiously raised my hand, and knocked on the door. But before my hand could touch the door, the door opened, and facing me was a pair of deep black eyes.

“Ah…” I whispered and took a step back.

The man's strong arms pulled me back, and I fell into his hard chest. Only then did I find out that he was wearing only a pair of canvas pants and was topless. He didn't talk and just buried his head in my neck and inhaled like he was smelling my scent. And now I was so scared that my arms and legs froze.

"It's you." The man's warm voice echoed in the darkness; for some reason, I felt my nerves relax a little when I heard that voice.

“Alpha Ryan…” I called out to him with difficulty.

Ryan raised his head and waited patiently for me to continue.

“Can you let go of me first?” I whispered; I was afraid that after this sentence, he would bite my neck, as Erina said.

But no, Ryan left me; in the dark, I couldn't see what he looked like; I just had a glimpse that he was very handsome. I fell in love with that beauty when I didn't know it until his voice rang; I was startled out of my thoughts.

"Welcome here, my mate," Ryan said softly and smiled.

I'm stunned; Ryan's mate? Is there any mistake here? He and I haven't even met; this is the first time.
