Chapter 02

DAMON’S POV

"I'll be there when I get out of this dump site of a pack", I said to the elders and got off the call with a tired sigh.

As my Beta, Hugh, drove through the Red Moon pack, I shook my head in pity. This place was a mere shadow compared to the empire that I led. Everything we passed was so small and dry.

Now I see why they were so quick to beg for a peace treaty immediately when we threatened them with war.

I mean, no pack in the entire wolf kingdom dared to agree to a battle against us except they were tired of living, but no one had ever gone so quickly on their knees, ready to kiss my balls like the RedMoon pack

One of their hunters had mistakenly hurt a young son from my empire who'd strayed a little bit. Immediately the news came to me, I sent my messengers to tell RedMoon pack to get ready for a war, but they immediately came bearing gifts, begging and promising to give us whatever we wanted if we agreed to overlook the mistake.

I would've sent my son Xavier on this errand, but he was already in another pack who also wanted to sign a peace treaty with us when this happened.

"Drive faster, Hugh. I need to get out of this shithole before the end of tonight", I muttered to my beta, and stepped on the accelerator immediately.

I took out my phone to check the details of the peace treaty sent by Xavier and I was barely two minutes into it when I suddenly felt the car screech to a hard stop. It was so sudden, I would've somersaulted in the car if I didn't have my seatbelt to put me in place.

"What's the problem now, Hugh?", I groaned in frustration.

"This young woman was walking right in the middle of the road and didn't see us coming", he kissed his teeth in anger. "Just stay in here, let me settle it", he said and got out of the car.

The lady was so angry, I could hear their back and forth from inside where I sat.

So angry... Yet so beautiful...

I know that face, I have Craved that face before.

"You motherfucker!! Why would you opt to drive if you don't have any experience?! Do you want to kill me?!!", she screamed in anger.

"Excuse me? You were the one walking right in the middle of the road. This is a sharp bend for crying out loud. You could've gotten yourself killed", Hugh did his best to explain to her in simple terms, even though I knew he was pissed.

"Oh, please. You think I'm scared of death?! You think I'm scared of you and that good-for-nothing you call your boss that you're carrying around? I'm living the most miserable life right now, and there's nothing you can do that can make my life any worse!!", She spat at Hugh with her harsh words.

I wasn't supposed to be hurt by the fact that she just called me a good-for-nothing.

Why did it sting a little?

"From the way you ignorantly use your words, I can tell you do not have an idea who's in this car. So I can't blame you?"

"I don't need to know who he is. All I'm certain of is that he's just as much of a nuisance as you are!!"

"Did you just call me a nuisance?"

"Will you do something about it?!"

It was already getting out of hand, and I decided to get out to stop everything.

I opened my door and was about to get my feet to the ground when the young lady slammed my door back with so much force and flashed two middle fingers at my tinted window before storming away in anger.

For a moment, I sat there, utterly dumbfounded.

Where did this hothead of a lady get the audacity to make me feel so small?

I'd fought bloody wars and brought back heads of Alphas as a part of my collection. I'd subdued even the greatest of packs and had taken over their lands. I controlled the whole of the Northern wolf realm due to my ruthlessness and power, only for me to be disrespected by this... Thing?

It still felt like a quick dream when my Beta settled back into the driver's seat with his face contorted in a frown.

"I'm so sorry about that, boss. That shouldn't have happened. Let me get you to the palace and get you out of here immediately", he started the car and we began moving. "I hope you were not affected by the lady's rudeness?"

"Not at all", I shook my head.

But time passed, and I still couldn't get her off my mind.

For some reason, I couldn't let it go.

I hadn't decided whether it was going to kill her or not, but I had to see her again. I just had to.

***

"Thank you so much for honoring my visit-"

"Let's cut to the chase, Donovan", I said immediately as he offered us a seat. "A member of your pack hurt our son, and the whole pack is seeking revenge. I'm not here to exchange pleasantries. Tell me what your peace treaty has to offer me."

Donovan obviously guessed I wasn't one to play around, but he tucked his tail in between his legs immediately as I asserted dominance.

"First of all, on behalf of the RedMoon pack, I want to apologize-"

"There will be no need for that. Tell me what I need to know."

"Okay", he cleared his throat and began. "First of all, we promise you half of our soldiers anytime you're going on a war. Secondly, we're willing to give you fifty percent of our land for you to use for farming. Your pack members will be treated like royalty anytime they pass through our pack", he explained with reverence.

RedMoon was a small pack compared to mine, but I knew they had fertile soil.

"70% of your land", I insisted.

"Done", he agreed with any argument, and I saw a smile of relief on his face as he turned to his maids. "Go bring dinner for our guests immediately."

He led us to the dining area and the maids began dishing the food.

Amongst the maid, my eyes rested on a familiar face.

Wait a minute.

It couldn't be.

It was the same beautiful, rude lady who made me question my own reign as the Alpha of bloodmoon pack.

Apart from today, I have seen that face before. Wait a minute, She is Donovan’s Second daughter.

My wolf became restless, and I wanted to teach her a lesson here and now.

"So...", Donovan began. "Just to be sure, we've concluded on the peace treaty, right? There's nothing else you want to add to the list?", He asked nervously, ready to sell his whole pack with his wife included if I asked.

"Actually, there's one more thing", I said.

The lady was about to dish out the meal when she made eye contact with me and my Beta, and I saw her face grow pale for a moment.

She recognized us too.

I watched as she tried to maintain composure as she continued dishing the meal.

"What other thing would you want as a part of the peace treaty, Alpha Damon?", Donovan asked.

My eyes fixated on her, I clenched my jaw. "I want her.”
