Chapter 5

Alpha Drayce

All that matters to me was to take my mate home with me, willingly or not, I do not care. I was not one to have such patience and all these charades was because of my pack hybrid witch who advice me not to take her unwillingly.

Talia had warned me against dragging my mate back to my pack as she said it will only complicate things for me.

She knew how I hate to abide by any rules. I make the rules the rules doesn't make me.

"I know your thoughts and how you would love to disobey my words but you would do no such things" Talia said with her deep blue eyes which bore through me. She hovered over me and if not for the round glass table which separated us it would have seemed like I was getting an earful from my mother.

I stood up with my hand ruffling my hair, I had never been held down by anything nor stoop low to plead with someone to stay in my life.

Fuck! Bang*

I punched the wall, my blow imprinted on the wall and it tremble with visible cracks.

"Talia, I won't!" I yelled and even when I had my back to her I felt she would have a bold smirk on her face.

That cockiness is what makes her annoying.

She stifle a laugh but was audible enough for my alpha ears and I wished I could strangle her at that moment, how could she chuckle at me, at my predicament.

"Then be ready to have a rogue as a wolf and later you wolf would lose it senses and then when that happens, you would loss all these you've worked so hard to build, she gesture with her hand before she continued "because no one would accept a half demon as the pack Alpha, let alone a lunatic"

I hate the fact that she was right but the way she's said it was so annoying, that I wished I could dealt with her right there.

Talia chewed gum loudly in my ears didn't in anyway lessen my troubled mind.

"I will let Bryan take over" I said point black.

"You can't be serious! You would rather give your mantle to your beta? Then what? Your brother would come for you and the rest of the leaders would wage war against the Northern pack that is if you would still be breathing by then"

It's not fair!

Why should I be the one to suffer when my mate was the one that ran away with some dude, she rejected me without reason, at least none that I knew about.

I groaned in frustration.

"I hope you are right about this" I said with a deadly glare.

"In as much as we had scores to settle, I won't be wrong about such serious things, I could tell that you crave your mate Alpha" she flashed me a victorious smile and she turned around and left my office with her long white hair trailing behind her.

I sat up on the settee in my office to ponder on the situation I found myself. Reuniting with my mate is a tough job for me because everyone considered me a man without a heart, it another reason why the other alpha's feared me, I was tagged ruthless and heartless. I love it. I have been winning all my battles because I had no weakness.

But why would that even be the only solution to prevent my wolf from going rogue and I, losing my sanity.

What's an alpha without his sanity? I rather die than lose my sanity and the pack I worked so much to unite, worse of it all to my enemies.

Goddess forbides it!

The goddess is indeed cruel because I see no reason why I was getting punished.

"Bryan!" I mindlink my Beta who was sitted at the receptionist.

"Yes Alpha"

"Tell that donkey alpha of the south that I accept his proposal and in return I would search for my mate within his territory"

"I shall relay your message Alpha" Bryan mindlink me back and I felt the bit of raw eagerness.

********************

Some days after ,we were driving through the tricket which leads south to alpha Sander's pack.

I could feel my heart throbbing, with each passing second I felt my heart pulsating hard against my chest. I could feel her presence here in this pack.

I was sweating profusely regardless of the car's air conditioner which was ON.

"Are you having a change of heart?" Bryan asked me from the drivers seat, I had demanded Bryan to drive me instead of Tyler my driver, as we had a lot to catch up on.

"Why would you ask such irrelevant question?" My tone was icy cold.

I tried my possible best not to show how shakened I had been since we draw nearer to the pack.

"I'm sorry alpha, I thought you might have change your mind since, Well." He stopped mid sentence and take a peek at me from the rear mirrors, his searching eyes meet mine and he immediately lowered his gaze.

I strengthened my determination.

It's my mate fault I had to go through this, so she should be ready to fix this. I refused to live the rest of my life as a mad man known to be a very powerful and successful alpha in the past.

With the fact that I had a lot of my problems to attend to, I was so pissed that am here in search of someone who initially rejected me.

"We are here!"

We found the alpha and his beta on the quadrangle of his mansion. I felt my hybrid wolf growl with anger at the prospect of not seeing our mate. isn't his Luna supposed to stood besides him.

Where is she?

I didn't come all the way to see some bunch of shit heads!

I bite down on my tongue, I wouldn't want to lash out of proportion.

Alpha Sander ran to the side of my car as one of my men opened the door for me, for the sake of safety I traveled with extra two cars which were filled with my omega male fighter.

"Welcome to my pack, we are delighted to have you in our midst" Alpha Sander said and I hoped he would choke on his hospitality.

I nodded in appreciation as I stretch out my hands to take his.

"And this is my beta and second in command, Danny"

I shook hands with Danny and he flash me a croaked smile which I didn't bothered to reciprocate.

I took a swift glance at him, deep gray eyes with a modern slick haircut with some bristle of hair as beards, he wasn't even up to my height and I wouldn't rate his look 10/10 rather I would give him a 2/10.

I chuckled inwardly, Alpha Sander was absolutely nothing special.

What did she see in him?

I nodded from time to time as Bryan was doing all the talking.

"You have such a big mansion, and we are glad we made this visit" Bryan said.

Glad my alpha claws!

The moment I stepped foot into the house, her smell hit my nostrils.

Her smell were pure strawberry, my favorite. so sweet and savory it clouded my sense of reasoning that I had to covered my nose so I could control myself, as a hybrid Talia had warned me that my wolf will have some liberty of emotions which I might not be able to control and it's includes cravings for intense senxual passion for our mate when we meet her.

My wolf wasn't at all cool as it keeps on sending me all sorts of ideas on how to strip our mate naked.

My eyes wandered around the lounge to find the one who is making my system go viral.

I felt a tug in my heart when I finally sighted her, she stood at the corner of the lounge her head buried to the ground.

I could tell she felt the mate bond as she constantly sneak a peek at me every now and then, I heard how her heart accelerated each time my eyes met hers.

But why does she looks so unhappy. No. This wasn't the girl I knew in my childhood days, where is her chivarousness.

The girl who was brave enough to play with the freak with red eyes, that independent little girl was nowhere to be found in her eyes.

But she was still indeed a striking beauty, she had long beautiful flamy red hairs with a very fair skin tone and I could drown in her ocean blue eyes, it was so beautifully mesmerizing.

But then her hand slip and she broke the jar of nectar she was supposed to serve us, I was surprised at how Sander screamed at her over such a little accident. Was I dreaming or does it seem like Sander doesn't respect her mate let alone love her.

I barely contained myself as I watched Sander yell at my mate.

How dare he treat her that way in my presence?

I couldn't watch any longer as I picked her up from the shard glasses which had already made there way under her skin in her feet, I felt the electrifying spark which erupted under my skin, for the first time in years I felt so much alive.

She stared down and wouldn't even look at me, just what did this blockbrain do to my mate that made her this timid.

After helping her to removed the glass shards from her feet, Sander still had the gust to send her to bring in the unmates for me.

There was really no need for that, but I didn't argue.

I had to save my energy as I felt like everything all turned out in my favor, it's wouldn't be so had to convince her to come with me since her chosen mate doesn't give her the desired happiness.

She came back with the unmates, they were all dolled up but none of them catch my fancy except the last one who look so extremely beautiful, not like I want her but I admire her boldness and how she could hold my gaze for some stipulated minutes.

"Do you find anyone of them appealing?" Alpha sander asked.

I made sure my eyes meet with Lilac, she immediately look away and I was kind of disappointed, I wanted to see the emotion in her eyes, how does she feel that I was the mate she had rejected and that her rejected mate would also pick some girl under her as his mate.

She hides her face but her beating heart gave her away.

"Yes I do!"

I intentively said it out loud, I could hear her heart skip a bit then it began beating faster and then I also heard her labored breathing.

Sander demanded eagerly to know who it was and I only scoffed inwardly.

He was so blinded by his crave for power that he wouldn't see me coming.

I took some puff from the big cigarette in-between my fingers as I let them hold on to their breath, I knew all the suspense might kill someone with a weak heart.

"I pick" I paused taking in a deep drag of my cigarette, my eyes were on her, the only one who can calm my inner demon, Lilac.

I had regretted everyday of my life for letting her go without a fight but this time I won't leave this pack without my fated mate.

I will snatch her under Sander's nose.
