LOGINCHAPTER FOUR
ALPHA LESLEY
(Five years later).
My claw digged deep into the wooden table in my office. I scratched the table as I walked forward, leaving lines of my four clwas on the table. The screeching sound from the table wasn't pleasant to my ears. I gritted my teeth as much as I could to release the anger I felt in my system.
"Alpha Lesley, you have to calm down. "
I turned to Ramon angrily. How could he easily say I should calm down? The pack was under attack, and everything was going bizarre, and he expected me to calm down?
"They attacked again yesterday," I spoke with rage. "They took our women and men again! They took children!"
"We have one of them. Let's make him spill their hideout."
I hissed loudly.
"We have totured him enough, and he's not speaking. I wonder why Alpha Martin wants us to still keep him alive."
Ramon was quiet for a while. He was the pack's only surviving beta over the years. He was closer to me than the rest of my brothers. Jeremy should be the nicest of us all, but he didn't meddle in the pack affairs. He had been a shadow of himself the past five years, and u could not care much about him. Neither I nor Martin did.
"I just have to obey all of his orders because he's the oldest of the alphas. It sucks, ruling the pack with two other brothers. I need to prove to this pack that I alone deserves to rule them. I am the strongest among them. I do not need this competition. It wouldn't even help the pack."
Ramon was seated on the couch in my office. In as much as he seemed so nonchalant about everything, I knew that his head was working perfectly. He was thinking about something.
"We have one of the rogues, right?" Ramon asked.
He was still relaxed on the couch. I stopped pacing and gently pulled my claws out of the table. I watched them grow shorter, and u cracked the bones in my neck. I placed both hands in my pocket and faced Ramon.
"We do, and why?"
"I am very sure the rogues are going to attack for the third time. Especially since we have one of them now. If you want to become the only ruler of this pack, then you have to do something extra ordinary. "
He paused and stared up at me. I was searching my brain for what to do.
"You have to singlehandedly save this pack. Of course, not by fighting the rogues alone. We all saw how powerful they were."
I stood there watching him. My mind was completely blank. I had thought they rogues were only able to defeat us the first time because we were taken unaware. They still defeated us the second time and fleed with our own.
"What can I do to save this pack?" I asked him.
"Since we have their own. It would be easy to get the DNA sample of the bloodline..."
"To do what?" I asked with a squeezed brow.
"I know a woman who can help us. She produces a substance that can wipe the wolf off their DNA. once she takes a sample of their DNA... she wipes their wolf off the whole generation. Without their wolf, they are helpless, and you're the hero."
My eyes widened. I was satisfied with the offer.
"Take me to her."

I walked into the finely furnished bungalow. It screamed wealth. I was made to wait at the sitting room by the woman's maid. She would join me shortly.
I took in the sight of the sitting room. There was a picture hanging on the wall of the room. A picture of the woman and her daughter. I heard footsteps that distracted me, and I turned towards the direction immediately. My throat immediately went dry at the sight of the woman.
She wore a royal blue dress that touched her feet. There was a long slit in front. I could see her alluring white thigh. I slowly moved my eyes to her face. Oh, my... her face screamed beauty. Her lips were well shaped. Her grey bulgy eyes were charming. Her face was as white as snow.
"You're the man who wants to see me," the lady's voice was heard, and it melted my heart.
She sounded like an angel.
She sat on the couch opposite me and crossed her legs.
"Ramon told me you were coming," she said, staring directly at my eyes without saying a word.
"Ye... yes," I stuttered.
The lady had taken my breath away.
"That's good," she replied. "I heard you want to wipe the wolf off an entire lineage. Isn't that too much?"
She leaned a little closer while she narrowed her eyes.
"I mean, is it not wicked?"
I scoffed.
"Why then do you make it?"
She nodded and leaned backwards. There was something about her that seemed awfully familiar. I could not place a finger on what it was. I knew that I hadn't met her before. Of course, she lived miles away from the pack house. It was impossible that I'd had anything to do with her before.
"Do you have a DNA sample of this lineage?" She asked me.
I slowly nodded my head.
"Good," she responded as she uncrossed her legs. "I would need to see it. I also need to take the DNA sample of your pack so I don't mix things up and mistakenly wipe your wolf instead."
She studied my face carefully as she spoke.
"I will also need to spend a few days in your pack examining my samples. Prepare a room for my daughter and I."
I paused at the mention of my daughter. The girl in the picture was obviously her daughter. That means she also had a husband. I didn't know why a tinge of jealousy suddenly washed all over me. Why was I suddenly getting attracted to this woman.
After rejecting my mate, I didn't get a second chance, mate. I had to find someone to pretend to be my mate and Luna. I didn't want the pack to see me as incapable, so I needed a woman by my side. Jeremy was the only one who didn't care. He hadn't found his mate yet. He just had one night stands with girls and let them go. I would say he learnt that from me.
"You should go now," she spoke before standing up to her feet. "Communicate to me once my place is ready. I have to go prepare food for my husband and daughter."
I stood up and stopped her before she could leave.
"What is your name?" I asked her.
"Mira Sampson," she replied, studying my face with her eyes.
"Oh," I nodded. "I don't re..."
I walked away without another word. She wasn't someone I knew, yet I felt connected to her. I also felt as though I had met her before. Her name didn't even ring a bell in my head.
I pulled out my phone from my pocket and dialled the number of my private investigator.
"I would forward you a name and address," I spoke into the phone. "Find out every single thing about her and her family."
CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHTLESLEYI lifted my head from the paperwork in front of me when the knock came down violently on my door for the umpteenth time that morning.“Who is it?” I asked irritably as my eyes stayed glued to the door.I hated getting distracted when I was focused on important things.“Come in.” I shot when there was no response from the other end.The door was slowly pushed open and a maid walked in holding the cup of coffee I had asked for earlier. Why did that take that long? I had even almost forgotten that I had asked for a cup of coffee.“Your cup of coffee, Alpha Lesley.” She told me as she set it down on the table, beside the paperwork I had been working on before she came in.“Make sure to close the door behind you.” I instructed as she walked away.As soon as I heard the door to my study shut, I returned all my rapt attention to the paperwork in front of me.I had woken up very early that morning and hurried to my study because it o my did I need to complete some
CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVENJEREMY"Celia, please," I begged Celia as I gradually pulled her away from me.I knew that I was wrong. I should not have kissed her in the first place. I felt bad for leading her on, but I should not let it continue. It would be better if I stopped it while right away."Why?" Celia asked with a questioning look.She pulled me closer and locked my lips once again with hers. She didn't even give me a break. I grabbed her neck and pushed her away gently."I am sorry, Celia.""Why?""It's wrong!""Why?" Celia stressed. "Why is it wrong?"She hissed.Celia stood up to her feet. I grabbed her hands, and she stopped abruptly."You know very well, Jeremy, that you irritate me. Your attitude towards me irritates me."I exhaled deeply.I didn't know why I was having the feeling. Yes, I felt cold inside me. It felt like I was suddenly placed in a freezer. More than the cold I was suddenly feeling in my bones, I felt bad. I felt like a horrible person.In as much as I didn't
CHAPTER EIGHTY SIXMIRAOn my way to rge woods for my morning walk, I overheard some pack members talking about the attack on the pack and how they were greatly affected by it. I paused on my tracks and eavesdropped.Somehow, the guilt began to gnaw at me at the sight of something that was obviously my fault. But why was I pained? Was this not what i wanted? To get revenge on Lesley and destroy his pack? Then why was I feeling pained that his pack got attacked?Before I could give much attention to the thought, the feeling of guilt slowly faded and was instantly replaced with extreme anger, the kind that made my veins pop. But the anger was not directed at me, it was all directed to the rogues and their leader. How could they neglect my instructions and choose to do as they please?As the wind swooshed by, hitting my skin and sending cold shivers down my spine, the wave of the wind blew across my face, causing my hair to slap across over my face and shoulders. For some reasons, the fo
CHAPTER EIGHTY FIVEJEREMYI squinted my eyes as soon as the sunlight from the open window which I had forgotten to close last night before I fell asleep on my bed.Still unwilling to get off the bed, I rolled over and placed a pillow over my face to prevent the sunlight from hitting my eyes.My brothers and I had stayed up last night trying to secure the pack borders, in case the rogues came back to launch another attack.It happened that we were wrong, they didn’t return. Or maybe they were aware that we had kept our trail on them and failed to return. We eventually went to bed far into the night.The sunlight from the window was a clear indication that it was daybreak already.I slowly pushed the pillow away and dragged my lazy body up from the bed.My hair was ruffled, a good number of it falling over my face and staying glued there.I ran my palm over my hair as I got up from the bed, and without bothering to throw a robe or a T-shirt on, I walked out of the room.My intention wa
CHAPTER EIGHTY FOURMIRA“How is she doing?” I voiced out after softly clearing my throat.I had my hands folded as I stood across the bed where my daughter lay, staring at her still body with sad eyes and a heavy heart.The question was a rhetorical question, she was not doing well at all.The deep sigh from the pack’s healer confirmed my suspicions.“I’m sorry, Mira, but I’m afraid your daughter isn’t getting any better. It would take a lot of effort to get her on her feet again, that is if we are able to get her on her feet again.”The last sentence dropped in my heart like a bombshell, like a heavy rock was dropped in my heart. It shattered my entire system and caused a violent jolt inside my heart, a jolt that caused physical pain.There was a possibility that my daughter may never get better, and it ate at my heart.I gulped down hard and pushed down the lump that had stayed static there and restricting my airflow.The lump was a hard pill to swallow. It hit the back of my throa
CHAPTER EIGHTY THREECeliaI sat alone in a corner of my room, my heart heavy with all the things that had been happening. I had just returned, the time, the days I spent away felt like a break and a burden. The weight of my responsibilities drained every bit of energy inside me, leaving me feeling worn down. I thought my coming back would have felt like relief, like coming home. But instead, I could feel a chill of terror running down my spine. My phone rang on the beside me on the bed, glancing over at it, i already knew who it was. The wasname on the screen read “James.” my mate. Staring at the phone, I hesitated for a while. I didn't want to answer it. I didn’t want to hear his voice right now, especially not with everything on my mind. The trip I had taken back then, completely drained me, and i knew talking to him would only add to the burden I was carrying. But the phone kept ringing, his calls kept coming in. Making my stomach twitch with anxiety. Finally, picking up the phone
