CHAPTER 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 39CHAPTER THIRTY NINE JEREMY "Even when I don't do anything to provoke him, he still finds excuses to hit me, and it is getting out of hand." Celia always found time to complain about her mate. But this time, it was not her complaining. It was me reminiscing on her previous complaints while she lay peacefully on my shoulder. Our fingers were locked together, and I found myself squeezing her fingers and assuring her that everything would be fine. "So what do you intend to do about your mate?" I suddenly asked Celia. She didn't deserve the kind of life she got. Celia was a good person, and I always thought that she would be rewarded with a good mate. Once in a while, I wanted Celia to be my mate because we both grew fond of each other, and I know her too well. "I am clueless until now. I do not know how to handle him or anything that concerns him." "Do you have any plans of leaving him, or do you want to continue in this relationship of torture?" Celia sat up. She sighed deep
Chapter 38CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT MIRA When I heard my doorbell ring, I already knew it was Sharon, so I stood up immediately to open the door and let her in. It's been a week since I saw her, and it was her turn to finally visit me. She had promised me the last time we spoke on the phone that she would be here by noon. When I walked to the door and opened it, I saw her there. I hugged her tightly, and she patted my back. I led Sharon into the room. I did a very small introduction between Sharon and Mia. Sharon's eyes widened when she saw her. "This is your little princess you always talked about?" Sharon asked as she pulled Mia close to her. Normally, Mia would try to run away from her, but she didn't. Instead, she stared up at her with her eyes slightly opened widely. Sharon pulled her close and hugged her tightly. She punched my shoulder hard after pulling away from the hug. "I can't believe you have such an adorable daughter, and you chose to hide her from me for years. I would have
CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN EMMA I waited the whole night, rolling on my bed while waiting for day break. I could not wait to go to Sharon's. Jeremy promised to take me once it was morning. I could hear the wall clock ticking on the wall, and the tempo seemed to rhyme with my heartbeat. I thought I would stay awake for the next two or three hours until the first cock crowed, but I was shocked by how I magically slept off without knowing it. I was awakened by my daughter later that morning. I opened my eyes, and they went even wider as I saw how bright the room looked. I sat up immediately, and every dizzy feeling I felt disappeared immediately. "Mom," Mia called as she cried out. I stretched myself and yawned loudly. I stood up from the bed and walked towards my wardrobe to pick up something to wear. Mia also stood up from the bed and followed me behind. I had completely forgotten that she was trying to say something. Of course, she didn't just wake me up because she felt that I was sleepi
CHAPTER THIRTY SIX MIRA I returned to my room to celebrate my success. I had barely walked into my room and began to dance when a knock interrupted me. I walked towards the door and saw a guard standing outside the door. He bowed in Greetings immediately when I opened the door. "What do you want?" I asked as I stared down at his shoes. I tried not to wear that disgusted look on my face. I was angry because he interrupted my fun. "Alpha Martin asked to speak with you." My heart throbbed for a second. "Alpha Martin?" I asked. "Why?" The gaurd didn't have an answer to the question. Of course, he wouldn't. I asked where Martin was. "He asked you to meet him in the hallway to his room." I waved the gaurd off. "I will join you soon." He walked away, and I locked my door immediately after. I entered my room and began to dance excitedly. I already went through a lot, and I finally won. Yes! I won! The elders already gave their blessings. I jumped up and punched the air excitedly. Of course,
CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE NARRATOR The elders and the three brothers were all gathered in the meeting room. They all spoke lightly concerning the progress of the pack while waiting for Mira to arrive. A guard had been sent out earlier to call Mira to the meeting room. Lesley was the only one who didn't speak unless a question was thrown directly to him. He was staring blankly into space. He was still reminiscing on everything that happened during the battle and how the elder was taken. He still could not believe it. He wondered why the rogues wanted the elder. He wondered if it had anything to do with the recent rogues who escaped. Maybe they returned to revenge all the torture they went through. Lesley tried to link a few things. He wondered what the elder had to do with the attack. It seemed like they came for him because they all retreated after taking him. The funny part was the fact that no one saw when the rogue went into the Palace to pick up an ID. He tried to link one or two. Not
CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR NARRATOR The three brothers were together, trying to wrap their heads around what was going on. Martin seemed very pissed. He paced the room angrily as he kicked whatever got in his way. The brothers could hear the soldiers training in the training ground. They were in the resting room beside the training ground. He had called the brothers in there immediately as soon as they gathered for the training. "I wonder why you let things get to this extent without calling me to tell me." Martin was spitting fire. He had been scolding Lesley ever since he walked into the room. Lesley just stood at a spot with both hands behind his back. His head was bowed. "How did you even let things get this bad?" Martin turned away from Lesley and faced Jeremy now. It was time for Jeremy to get his own taste of the medicine. "And you!" He accused him as he approached him with a fierce tone. "How could you keep something as important as this from me? You know Lesley's ego would not let
