Chapter 3

Hunter's POV

I'm Hunter. Alpha of the Silver Moon pack. To the older Alphas, I'm known as the forbidden seed of the goddess. Even though I was born under a full moon, my life was drowned in darkness. 

I've been through so many unbelievable moments but nothing prepared me for this. 

Standing in the same room, breathing the same air as the daughter of such a disgusting man almost threw me off balance. 

More than that, I was pissed off at the fact that the moon goddess deemed her worthy to be my mate. Immediately I recognized her in that ballroom, I talked to the rest through the mind link and walked out of the room. 

My wolf kept on howling at me to go back and claim her but over my dead body would I do that. I would rather go mad than mark her. 

The idea of her sucked life out of me. 

"I hate you!" She yelled. 

The girl was standing so close to my wall I thought she would penetrate through it. She stared at me through the tears in her eyes. 

She reminded me of a type of doll, tiny, and cute but dangerous at the same time. At first, I tried wrapping my head around it and just as I was about to give up, I realised she reminded me of Anabelle. 

"I believe that feeling is mutual, Doll," I replied, smirking in her face. 

"I don't want to be here. I want to leave," 

"Gladly, I would've allowed you to but at the same time, you don't get to give the orders here. I do," 

She lifted up her eyes at me and I couldn't help but notice how thick and long her eyelashes were. Even though her makeup was all over her face, it didn't hide her beauty.  

"You're disgusting and I hate you," she repeated. 

"You should. That's the only way you can survive in my pack," 

She cried bitterly, holding her torn dress in a bunch as she clutched her heart in her hand. 

"Why? Why did you do that to my family?" 

I smirked. 

"Your father deserved what he got and I'm pretty sure he knew what was coming for him all along," 

"He did nothing wrong," 

I saw red instantly. Her standing there and defending him got me mad. It raised questions in my head as well. Was she ignorant of those horrible things he did or was she a part of it? 

My fist clenched and I glared at her through gritted teeth. She had the audacity to stand there and overlook all the atrocities her father had committed. 

"Get out," I spat. I didn't want to hurt her. The last thing I would do is touch a woman. 

I watched my father batter my mother every day of the week, leaving me scarred. I wasn't about to become the demon that he was. Heck, the last thing I'll become is the man my father was. 

Her fingers quivered as she grabbed onto the door knob. She turned to take one last look at me through those ridiculous glassy, soft eyes and I felt my legs shaking. My wolf howled in my head, growling for its mate but I didn't bulge. 

I make the rules, not my wolf. 

I watched her leave the office. I held onto the edge of the mahogany table in my room, controlling my anger, my temper and at the same time, my desire. 

Fuck! 

My laptop beeped on the table and I slid across to take a seat and accepted the call from Seth, my long time best friend and the leader of the Operation Sweep. 

"I wasn't expecting you to pick up the call tonight," he said jokingly. I could read between the lines. He was talking about my mate. 

My mate? I don't even know her name. 

"Why did you call then?" 

He smirked. "To see how you were coping," 

"Or to see how fucked up I am by the moon goddess," 

Seth laughed. "You can't be serious. She can't be that bad. She's your mate," 

"Second chance mate, you mean. Both you and I know what happened to my true mate. What her father did to my mate," 

I found my true mate three years ago. She was human, strong, beautiful and courageous. Gwen was exactly who I pictured my mate would be like and never in my life or the little time I got to spend with her did I for once think she would be taken away from me in such a brutal way. 

I hated the idea of having to mark another woman, not to talk of her. The daughter of my most hated man. 

"Give it time, Hunter,"

"Whatever," I mumbled underneath my breathe. 

"We all did great tonight. Let's find a time to get together and make the next move," 

Tonight's operation sweep was the first of many. It was revolutionary and we were not fucking stopping anytime soon. A lot of older Alphas were going down for their sins and the best part was, we'll watch them pay with their blood. 

The older Alphas had a reputation; drug trafficking, money laundering and especially, girls trafficking. 

We started the revolutionary group when the last of us became the Alpha of his pack. All eight of us were Alphas who had managed to overthrow our fathers and take charge of our packs. 

They usually don't go after female werewolves but human females. They prey on them, use them. That was their way of earning. 

The operation Sweep was about cleaning the werewolf system of dirt. 

Each eight of us had been a victim of them and their ways. We started with Alpha Lupin because he was one of their main leaders. We wanted to send a message across to others. 

"We should also be prepared for a retaliation or revenge from them," 

"We're always prepared, aren't we?" Seth asked.

"I believe we are," 

"You especially should be prepared for them. I know they're somehow scared of you but I also believe because of the Lupin girl they might put aside that fear and pay you a visit,"

I smirked. 

"Trust me, she's not going anywhere," not even if my life depended on it.
