Chapter 2 Magnus, Rogue Alpha

Magnus

"Stop destroying the contents of this house. I am planning to loot all their valuables and bring it to my estate." These witches have no idea how priceless most of the things are inside this house. High Priestess Celeste and her mate Alpha Blake have amassed a great deal of wealth over the years, profiting from Celeste's magic. She had asked for jewels, gold and rare gems from pack's who required her of her services. Many items in this mansion were antiques, precious heirlooms, given to her as payment for her protection charm. I wanted everything in this house, especially the contents of their vault.

"Magnus, you must be joking. You said we could destroy anything we wanted. And I for one, would love to destroy everything in this house as well as the mansion itself." Lilith picked up a ceramic vase and dropped it on the floor. The vase shattered into many small pieces. I shook my head. What a waste.

"My dear, Lilith, all these things I can sell so I can buy you all those trinkets all of you want. I can't sell valuables that have been damaged beyond repair. Unless you have the power to make what is broken whole again." I watched her pout her dark lips knowing full well none of them had that power. Only the High Priestess Celeste had that gift.

Ah, Celeste. One of the most beautiful wolves I have ever laid eyes on. When she was presented to be Luna of Alpha Blake, I was filled with jealousy. She should have been mine. Unfortunately, she wanted fame and fortune and I had none of that to offer her.

I did not have the luck of being the first born pup in my family. That was bestowed to my brother Lucas. Before, our pack was better off compared to most packs even that of Blake's, however Blake had the good fortune of finding Celeste first, when he made a trip to Canada to forge an alliance with the packs of the north. When he returned, he had brought Celeste with him and had immediately presented her to be his new Luna.

I tried my hardest to grab her attention, but she never wanted to be near me. Wheb I heard her mating ceremony to Blake was scheduled to proceed in a month's time, I concocted a plan to overthrow my brother and rise as the new Alpha of my pack and steal the beautiful Celeste from Blake.

I challenged my brother to a fight for the right of Alpha. He shook his head and told me it wasn't a good idea to fight him for a woman. He knew I had my eye on Celeste and that I was willing to do everything in my power to have her.

My brother stared at me in disbelief when I confronted him, openly disrespecting his authority. He was at the grounds of our ranch, breaking in new horses and I had entered the corral, provoking him.

"Magnus, there are many other she-wolves out there who will be willing to be your mate. You can not possibly believe being Alpha will solve all your problems. She is already destined for another wolf, brother. It will be better if you accept that fact," my brother said, sounding irritated.

"This is not about Celeste, Lucas! This is about me wanting to be Alpha. I have every right since I am the second born," I yelled at him. I took my shirt off, waiting for him to agree to the challenge, so I could shift into my wolf.

"Alright, Magnus, but I'm warning you. If you lose, you will be banished from this pack, never to return. Or you may ask me to kill you. I know how difficult it is to be a rogue. You will not last a day out there on your own." He entered the corral, chewing on a stalk of grain, like I was more of an inconvenience rather than a challenger.

"I will not lose! I will kill you and take my rightful place as Alpha!" I shifted into my wolf and sprinted towards him. I pounced, but my brother was quick. He sidestepped my wolf and shifted into his wolf. In just a blink of an eye, it was over. He had my neck in his mouth.

"Live or die, Magnus?" He asked me through mind link.

"Live!" I replied. He let go of my neck and allowed me to run off. My banishment was effective immediately.

While I ran out of my former pack's territory, I vowed my revenge. I will show you, Lucas! I will show all of you!

As a rogue, I gained notoriety amongst the rogues, killing my way to the top and earning my keep through crime. Once I had established myself as Rogue Alpha, I went and visited all the crime bosses within the vicinity. I killed them and all their little minions and made myself the new crime boss of the Pacific Coast.

Because I had a large enough army as well as money from my new "businesses", I decided to start exterminating wolf packs whose Alpha would not pledge their allegiance to me. I started with the weak packs who had no choice but to pledge their fealty. However, as I worked my way up the food chain, so to speak, I was caught in a little snag.

I wasn't this ugly before. I used to have women falling at my feet. I also had the use of both my eyes. I was just caught unawares.

Celeste started providing security to the wealthy packs. I learned of this when I visited Alpha Adolf of the Oregon Wolf Howlers Pack and tried to enter his territory. Once I and my Beta entered the boundary of the pack's territory, we were thrown into the air as thousands of silver daggers stabbed us as we fell slowly back to earth. One of the daggers had stabbed my right eye. The silver burned through my eye and when I pulled out the dagger, the fluid from my eyeball gushed out. Now, I wear a patch over my right eye and live with horrible scars on my face and body, a constant reminder of Celeste.

I stopped exterminating wolf packs for a while to regroup and plan things through. I had heard of a number of dark witches who once were friends with Celeste, but because of certain "misunderstandings", broke away from her and started a new life of dark magic. Since we all had similarities, I invited them to work for me. We all have a great working relationship; we understand what we want. We all also have a pleasurable sexual relationship. They don't mind the scars just as long I can bring them to the brink of ecstacy, although they do sometimes magic the scars away.

With my harem of dark witches by my side, I pushed through with my original plan of exterminating packs who would not pledge their allegiance to me. The dark witches would weaken the protection charm which covered the whole territory. This caused a big strain on Celeste who would shuffle from pack to pack so, she started charging more for her services. Most of the wealthy packs had no problem paying Celeste, however the rest did.

It would take a while for the charms to weaken, sometimes it would take a day, but it wasn't a problem. I am a patient wolf. I just had to wait until the protection charm was gone before I started my attack. Once I had brought the Alpha to his knees, he would concede defeat and pledge his allegiance. Since they first opted to ask protection from Celeste, I exterminated them anyway, knowing full well, I would never have their loyalty.

One night, one of the dark witches of my harem went into a trance. We were in the throes of passion when she suddenly stopped sucking my penis and sat up, cross legged, with her wet sex dripping on the sheets of my king size bed.

"Jinx, it's my turn." Mary kneeled before me and took my penis inside her mouth. She sucked my shaft, taking my whole length into her throat. I leaned back into the pillows and groaned in pleasure, grabbing Mary's hair as she went up and down my shaft.

"A High Priestess and Alpha will give birth to a child. She is destined to be a celestial wolf, most powerful among witches and wolves alike. She alone will have the power to kill the Alpha of the Rogues." Jinx's eyes had gone white while she spoke and her voice had turned ethereal.

"Jinx, what did you just say?" Lilith, the leader of the group shook Jinx and her eyes which were hidden inside the top of her head, reverted back to their original positions.

I pushed Mary away and took Jinx's arms and shook her. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" I yelled at her. She pushed away from me, but I had a tight hold on her. I slapped her on her cheek and shook her once more. "What did you just say?!" I growled, showing her my fangs.

"Magnus, what are you talking about? I didn't say anything. I was sucking your cock! That's all I remember!" She began to cry, clenching her red cheek.

"You talked about a high priestess and an Alpha having a child who will become a celestial wolf and she alone will have the power to kill me!"

"I don't remember saying anything like that!" She screamed at me. I slapped her face over and over again until she lost consciousness. I was filled with so much rage, I grabbed Mary and slapped her too. I was going to slap her again, but Lilith stopped me, throwing me across the room with magic.

"Take Jinx and bring her to her room so she can heal. I will deal with Magnus." Lilith put on a robe while Mary dragged the unconscious Jinx out of the room.

"How dare you use your magic against me!" I growled at Lilith.

"How dare you hurt one of us, Magnus! Jinx was in a trance when she uttered those words. She has no recollection of what she said! It was clearly a prophecy. I do not know any other High Priestess except for Celeste and she is mated to an Alpha. However, she is not with child." Lilith moved a chair to where I was on the floor with her finger and started pacing up and down, thinking what Jinx had meant.

"How do you know Celeste isn't pregnant? Do you two call each other like bestfriends you once were?" I picked myself up from the floor and sat on the chair. Lilith was once Celeste's bestfriend until Blake chose Celeste and not her. Lilith gave me a cold look.

"I have people watching. What I know is she and Blake are busy building their empire. I heard Celeste also has plans to become Elder. What we should start doing is expanding our operations throughout the country, Magnus. Let us take a pause on our extermination. I would rather live with wolves than humans. Actually, I would rather start exterminating humans. Such grisly creatures!"

"You know what? You're right. Why keep killing my own kind when I could kill the ones who keep taking what is ours?" I agreed with Lilith, it was time to turn against the humans. I stopped harassing my kind and diverted all my attention to humans. I pillaged, kidnapped and killed.

Who would have known killing humans would be so much fun! Because of my new preoccupation of exterminating the humans, I had forgotten the prophecy. Until news reached me that one of Celeste's priestesses spoke in a trance uttering the same words which Jinx had spoken before.

News of the prophecy spread and wolves kept a keen eye on Celeste. She went into seclusion, not wanting to be subjected to rumors or speculations.

Then, from out of the blue, Lilith received a call from one of her spies. The spy informed her Celeste was pregnant. The girls and I agreed to attack the pack by surprise on the eve of the Mabon or the annual Harvest Moon Thanksgiving celebration. According to Lilith's informant, Celeste was not due until a month or so. It would be perfect. No more Celeste and no more prophecy. Of course, no more Blake and no more Autumn Moon Pack too. We would exterminate the lot of them.

And here we are, Blake is dead and the territory was burning. All I needed to do was find Celeste.

"WHO IS IN MY HOUSE?!" And here she is...finally.

I walked out of the living room and went to the grand staircase. There stood on the first landing of the staircase was a sickly Celeste, in a large white gown. I sniffed and I could smell the hormones of pregnancy on her. I sneered at her.

"Nice of you to join us Celeste!"
