CHAPTER THREE

Alpha Jacqueline walked into his home, tired from another long day. The pack was suffering, he could feel their pain almost as if it pierced his flesh. The raku was a sickness none of the healers could cure, and yet it sprang up from nowhere and was threatening to destroy his entire pack.

And his father! Jacqueline drew in a breath and tried not to think of his father, of how the raku was ravaging the old male, destroying his only family before his very eyes, and yet he could do nothing! He, the most powerful male in the pack, the Alpha! And yet he was helpless against this sickness.

The thought of his helplessness annoyed him and drove him to become crueler, more hardened, the thought of Ophelia too.

A cold smile curved on his lips as he thought of Ophelia, the female who had been his mate. She had ended up being a conniving whore who had been having an affair with his rival, another Alpha while plotting his downfall. He had even found out that the little male, Daniel whom he had thought was his first son was not his. Scott was the child of his rival, the Alpha, Ophelia was having an affair with.

Alpha Jacqueline smiled bitterly as he remembered the days of her early pregnancy. He had pampered her and showered her with love and affection. He had been so excited about the birth of the cub and all for another male’s child!

Another cold smile touched his lips as he remembered how he had punished her. He had gotten a confession from her lips, flinching slightly as she denied him for her lover, then he had taken her to a room where he had beaten and tied up the Alpha. Stripping her in front of her lover, he had slept with her, punishing her by the very act. Her tears had further aroused him, it had numbed the pain of her rejection. Her tears and the look of pain in her over’s eyes. After that, he killed her, his claws sinking into her flesh while in the heat of her passion.

Alpha Jacqueline may not have been the life of her life, but he was a very skilled lover. He had made sure to bring Ophelia to the brink of her passion before he killed her. Only at that moment did he feel peace. But it wasn’t real peace, it was a coldness that settled in his heart, a reminder that females were betrayers and he should never trust any of them again. Jacqueline smiled as he shook his head. He willed his mind to think of something else. Ophelia was over and done with.

He opened his door to see two females lying on his bed with very flimsy clothing, patiently waiting for him. He didn’t mind. Sex was always a worthy distraction, and he needed to be distracted at the moment.

The Alpha smiled at the blonde female as she took off his shirt and drew him to bed, then he dragged her face to his roughly, and let his lips assault hers. The kiss was rough, without affection, but it was what he needed at the moment. He let his other hand roam over to the other female on the bed, she seemed too quiet. He slapped her a bit and pinched her, to get a response, a smile curving at his lips when she whimpered and then moaned.

“Why don’t you take everything off,” he said to both of them while he laid back against the bed.

“We want to leave something to your imagination.” The blonde replied. She was the braver of the two.

Alpha Jacqueline smirked coldly. Sometime in the past, he might have thought her witty, but now he was only bored by the pretentiousness of females. He dug his hand into her hair, and grabbing a handful, he dragged her to himself. “I’d never imagine you, I’d hardly remember what you look like after tonight,” he whispered harshly to her before he pressed his lips against hers again, drinking in her fear, her arousal.

He was finally beginning to get into the mood when the door slammed open and Carl walked in without any kind of remorse. Alpha Jacqueline sighed in resignation. Carl was the only person who had the boldness to do that and rightfully so. Carl was his only real friend, the one person who had never betrayed him yet. He was also the head of Jacqueline's betas.

“What now Carl?”

“Your father,” Carl said simply, ignoring the naked woman on the bed. “He is having another seizure…and…and I don’t think...” He let his words trail off, but Jacqueline knew what he left unsaid. The Alpha’s father may not make it past this seizure.

With his heart slamming against his chest, Jacqueline pushed the blonde off him and rushed out of the door to his father’s room. The old man lay on the floor shaking, while the useless healers surrounded him with their futile attempts.

“Get out!” The Alpha exclaimed softly, but everyone felt the power in his voice. The healers turned to look at him, with fear in their eyes.

“Get out.” Alpha Jacqueline repeated. “If my father is to die, then let him die with his dignity.”

The healers filled out the room, and Alpha Jacqueline gently carried his father back to the bed. To his surprise, the shaken seemed to calm down, and the old male could even afford a smile at his son.

“Father,” Jacqueline said simply.

“Son.” The old man smiled, then he winced. “The pain is much, so much, sometimes I wished I could die.”

Jacqueline let go of his father and stood up. The pain he felt in his heart had been dulled by his several disappointments in the healers, but it was still there, heavy against his chest.

“Perhaps we need to bring in new healers,” Carl spoke.

Jacqueline whirled around. “From where!” He asked harshly. “I have brought in as many healers I can from the entire Werewolf territory, both from my pack and from outside. I have brought in so many healers, we risk being ostracized as a sick pack.”

Carl was silent for a while, then; “perhaps we need to consider someone outside the Werewolf territory.”

Alpha Jacqueline gave a harsh laugh. “Who? Humans? What do humans know about Werewolves and our sicknesses?”

“Maybe someone who is a Werewolf, and also a doctor, living among the humans.”

Alpha Jacqueline was silent. Rosalie . He knew his beta was referring to her. For a moment, his mind was numb, and he could not think about her, then the memories kept flooding in.

Beautiful, lovely Rosalie , so unaware of her beauty and her effect on males. Innocent Rosalie who had followed him about always, her love and admiration shining from her way brown eyes. She had given herself to him the night of his coronation, in all her innocence!

He had been the first male to kiss her, the first male to touch her, to take her body. And then she had appeared at his mating ceremony those many years ago looking half-crazed, and acting equally as crazy.

He had kept an eye on her after she fled the pack, and from his spies, he had learned she blended into the human world and became a medical doctor. He had called off his spies after he had learned she was seeing someone.

And now, the mere thought of her, even at this moment left him excited. He wanted to see her again.

“Why do you think she can help us?” He asked softly.

Carl shrugged. “Because she is one of us, and she has medical training. Our healers can’t help us, so maybe we ought to start looking for alternatives.”

Alpha Jacqueline nodded. “Bring her to me then.”

Carl nodded but didn’t move an inch. “There is also the fact that she might be unwilling to see you.”

“Bring Rosalie to me, Carl, whether she is willing or unwilling.” Alpha Jacqueline answered. His voice was low, barely a whisper, but the beta heard the cold menace in them. This was an order!

“Yes, boss. I’d leave for the human world first thing tomorrow.”

Alpha Jacqueline nodded without looking at his beta as the male walked out. He was thinking about Rosalie .

    CHAPTER SIX.ROSALIE'S POV.I was shocked to see Jacqueline falling on his feet before me just for me to perform my wonder on his father, but that didn't erase the fact that he treated me like I was a scumbag, whereas, he was the only scumbag in the room.The pain I was feeling around my neck eased, and I got up to my feet, "I'll check what's wrong with the old alpha, but mind you, I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing it for the old man who was very good to me when I was with the pack."Jacqueline got up to his feet, "I don't care about any reason behind your help, just heal him."I glared at him and almost changed my mind, but the old alpha did nothing wrong to me.

Something was wrong with the concoction I made, and I was confused because I used normal ingredients and mixtures.I had gone to the woods to grab more herbs, but upon returning, I was met with a commotion where everyone was prowling, and the words on their lips were that my patients had been poisoned.Judging by their suspicious eyes on me, I knew they were all pointing their fingers at me, whereas I was as astonished as they were."Anyone?!" I repeated, but just like the first question, no one answered me.The healers and the guards with some maids were all standing around in the room, glaring at me, and not moving. That was when I realised that no one went to the woods, and tears weighed up in

    CHAPTER NINE.ROSALIE'S POV.I've never imagined myself blurting out a word about my pups in front of Jacqueline before, and to think that I spoke of them being his, not for once.I began to shiver from within and my legs wobbled. I was expecting him to say the next word so that I wouldn't snitch much more than I already had as I formed out what to respond to him with.Like the goddess was by my side, Jacqueline busted into a hilarious laugh, he held his stomach and laughed, then he spoke up, "Who do you think I am? A dumbass?" He laughed more.My astonished eyes went to Carl and saw he was just staring at his alpha with no expression on his face, though I knew he would be wondering about what was wrong with Jacqueline.I faced Jacqueline again, "I don't know what you're talking about." My voice was barely above a whisper."You are just like all those bitches out there who birth a pup who is not mine, and try to force their fatherhood on me. Though I see they're better, you're worse t

I wondered, and I wished I could question him about his evil scheme, but I couldn't, not before the pack elders, who were looking so carnivorous.If they were given the chance to deal with me by themselves, I knew they would just shred me apart, but still, I didn't want to accept defeat without any trial."Jacqueline, I..."I meant to talk, but was cut off my words by an unfamiliar voice, "Your suggestion is good, my alpha."It was a feminine voice, and when I turned to check its owner, I saw it was one of the healers, and others were nodding beside her like agamid lizards."Since she is a doctor, and she knows a lot about native medicine, we can use her to create some local medicine that would help the people who are diseased, for the virus as we all know, is not ready to go off from the land."

It got to my knowledge that I would be spending more than enough time in the pack, away from my children.I knew I had two things to do for them: first, p

I demanded.Briana’s smile widened. "Oh, come now, Rosalie. Don’t tell me you don’t feel it. Something… out of place. Something… wrong. Simple."My heart skipped a beat, but I kept my expression neutral. I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of knowing she had rattled me. I let her words sink in, trying to decipher their meaning. I glanced around the hallway, searching for anything out of the ordinary. But everything seemed normal. The guards were in position, the prisoners were secured, and the pack house was as it should be. Everywhere was as it was.I sighed, 'She must be bluffing.'"You’re wasting your breath," I said, my tone cold. "Whatever game you’re playing, it won’t work."Briana’s eyes gleamed with a wicked twisting brightness. "Aren’t your children in the human world? Or… don’t tell me you don’

My thoughts were a rollercoaster, rolling all around and running to him. 'Is he safe? Is the pack holding its ground? Should I be panicking? Should I check it out?'A lot just kept running in, and every scenario my mind conjured up only made the intestines in my stomach tighten.I tried to sit, to calm myself down at least, and I did, but the moment I sat down and stopped moving, my chest felt like it was being trampled under the weight of my worry.I jolted back up.''He’s out there, facing… who knows what," I muttered to myself, running my fingers through my hair. Rose began to growl at me. *Stay calm. Sit down, I'm trying to rest.*But how could I? How could I sit here, useless, when Jacqueline is out there and might need me?*Just calm down, he will be here in a bit.*Most times, Rose behaved like

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Jacqueline? Why would someone capable of causing such chaos on the pack just deliver a message and leave?" Carl mused aloud.Jacqueline’s expression was unreadable, his thoughts carefully guarded. He was just thinking about it too. "It’s not just the message. It’s the power they wield. That sound… it wasn’t meant to warn. It was meant to cripple us. Whoever they are, they wanted us vulnerable or better still, destroyed."Before Carl could respond, Jacqueline stiffened, his senses sharpening as a new presence came into his awareness. "Sh!" He cautioned Carl and listened til he got what he was looking for. "They’re here."A low growl rumbled in his chest as he turned to Carl. "Who?" Carl asked him, his voice dropping to a whisper.Jacqueline didn’t answer immediately. His heightene

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN.AUTHOR'S POV.The night air carried the faint scent of blood and despair, which flew all around the pack as Jacqueline and Carl walked the path leading to the pack’s territory where all the problems were generated. Where they were ready to catch the intruder red-handed.The tension between them was heightened, it was like a heavy weight that seemed to cling to their skin. Instead of shifting to get to their destination in a go, they had decided to walk some distance just to see what the damage had done to the pack.Jacqueline’s eyes were not fixed on a particular spot, it kept on moving from one person to the other in a bid to take in everything without missing out. Every step he took was calculated, he was cautious not to step on any growling individual, for the pack members had spread out on the floor, growling in pain that even when they scented their alpha passing by, they couldn't acknowledge him. Carl followed Jacqueline closely with jaw tight and fists

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX.AUTHOR'S POV.The sharp, painful sound had torn through the pack's territory, and everyone, the aged and pups, all felt it. It was unlike anything the wolves had ever experienced. It was shrill and piercing, a noise that seemed to bang directly into their skulls and pierced into their ears. It was an unspoken and unexpected pain for them all.For the lower-ranked wolves, especially the Omegas, it was another story entirely for them. All of them clutched their ears in agony, and when their eardrums couldn't hold it all in, it bled. "Ah!""Arg!""Argh!""Alpha!"Different cries of pain echoed across the pack as the weaker members collapsed on the ground, bleeding through their ears. Even some of the mid-ranked wolves struggled to stay upright, their faces pale as they fought to withstand the pain.They all forgot about the moon goddess at that moment, and cried to Jacqueline, "Alpha, help us!"Jacqueline, who was on his way to the throne room when the incident hap

But he didn't return the kiss, and just when I thought he would respond, Jacqueline pulled back.His lips parted from mine with a finality that left my heart beating loudly in its ribcage. He stepped away, his eyes filled with emotions which I could read into and also feel. Anger, betrayal, sorrow and a pain which I knew was deeper than the ocean.Above all those, I could see his love for me somewhere at the deep of his heart, just by a small corner there. I felt it so little but I was glad it was something."Jacqueline…" I whispered, my voice trembling as I tried to reach closer to him.He held up a hand, stopping me in my tracks, he said no word. Just his eyes on me.His silence was louder than any yell, echoing than any accusati
