I just blurted everything out in one go and hope for the best now I suppose. I look up at him after not hearing any movements or response from him, his chin is resting on his palm as he stares hard at me not blinking, "Alpha?" " I see, so you've befriended a witch who taught you interesting things, and where pray tell have you met this witch Ro and for how long have you known her and where does she live?" he asks these questions with a lethal and eerie low voice.
" I've known her for about Two years give or take, I met her by chance not too far outside our border when I was out for a run, well walk I guess and uhm, she lives in a cottage but I promised her I'd keep her home safe, please please please don't make me break my promise, I give you my word she's not dangerous to us, she really is the sweetest " " you seem to be throwing your words around quite a lot within the past couple hours, very well Ro, I will give your witch the benefit of the doubt" I breathe a sigh of relief " thank you Alpha" " don't thank me just yet, I need you to go to Gaisha and ensure Beau returns safely, go home and get changed and head out and also can you consider moving to the packhouse? it would appear our new packmate wants to stay close to you, it would make things so much easier on you Roro, just think about it okay?" " yes Alpha I will think on it" " good girl, now off you go" I was about to leave when a thought crossed my mind " uhm Alpha, can I have an acceptance letter for our Uni please " He looked kind of confused " Ro, you've already completed your studies " " not for me for Beau, you know for just in case purposes with his family, he should make a cleaner break from them and what could be cleaner than going away to study " he laughed and shook his head " you really are something else you know that right " I waited for him to print, sign and stamp the document and then place it in an envelope before taking it and heading out. I head out and head back towards my house, well their house but you know what I mean, I got time for a shower before I chase after Beau, I was just about to head up the stairs on my front porch when I'm greeted by my father " hey uh Roho, can I talk to you for a bit " " can it wait till later dad, I have somewhere I need to be right now, I have to go and get ready to head out" " but you just got back, and your shift at the hospital is not for a few hours" " the Alpha is sending me out of the pack on an errand that's all" " okay well I promise this won't take very long, it has to be right now as your mo-step mother isn't home right now" I sigh, surrendering " okay dad, what is it?" he smiled " considering we're short on time, let's use the car, hop in and let's go" he walks past me and heads to his car and I turn and follow him. We drive towards the East of the pack centre which heads away from basically everyone, is this man about to murder me or something? We pull up to a house and my dad gets out of the car and naturally so do I " dad where are we?" he turned and looked at me " now Ro, I know that I have spent many years being passive and standoff ish with you which I do acknowledge was very wrong of me to do and there is no way I can truly make up for it but I wanted to at least be able to give you something of your own, I know very well the reason you work these Two jobs at these hours even though you don't have to is because being in the house is hard and uncomfortable for you, so " He fished a set of keys from his pocket and handed them to me, I stare at him in astonishment and slowly extend my hand to him and he placed them in my hands, I look up at the house and I love it so much already even though I haven't been inside yet, it has a porch all around, Two story, push out windows and painted chocolate brown and dark blue, I walk up the porch and unlock the door and open it, I peer inside and my eyes water, it's fully furnished and smells like fresh paint, I make a walk around the house and take it all in, the kitchen is perfectly spaced, there's Two bedrooms downstairs and Three upstairs , I have no clue what I'll do with all this space but I love the house so damn much. I rush back downstairs and out the front door, I make sure to lock up and for the first time in my life I hug my dad and cry and he hug me back and smells my hair and releases a very deep breath, I sniffle I look up at him " how did you know? " he smiled softly at me " even though I don't say anything Ro, I observe you and I pay attention to you, you're my little girl , now come on you say you got somewhere to be for Alpha, let's head back "I sniffle and nod at him, we get back into the car and drive back to his house, this time with a comfortable silence, before we got out the car and touch his hand and simply say " thank you, I love it very much " " you're welcome honey, don't mention it" I nod and get out of the car, I rush to my room and grab a quick shower, change my clothes and head out the door.I began walking to the packhouse to meet Ivo so he could drop me to a point and then find my way the rest of the way when my dad slowed down by me " get in, I'd drop you " I hop in and we head out through the pack gates and down towards the high way " Ro, I hope you don't mind but I'd rather keep the fact that I bought the house for you from Nika and the kids okay? " " you didn't have to tell me that dad, I know, the last thing I want is to cause any trouble for you, I had no intention of saying anything to anyone " we continue the drive to a point and I ask him to pull over, I take a whiff and we continue on up until I c
I give a quick bow because it felt right and scurried after her " you know Red, if you don't want me in your house I'd be more than happy to tell Alpha I'd stay here " " oh be quiet and drive " we drove to what I would call the outskirts and pulled up to a house, I must say for the kind of person and the way she carries herself this is not what I expected her house to look like." Stop judging my home, and let's go in " I grabbed my bags and followed her onto the porch, she was about to turn the lock when she sighed and hung her head, she signalled for me to stand to the side and pushed the door open and stepped out of the way and out sprang this big guy while Two other voices inside shouted " SURPRISE!! " " Red, did you really have to dodge me like that? " " look at your big a** and look at me guy, you tryna crack my head on the porch or something? " " I'd never let you get hurt Red you know that " she smiled then glanced at me and it's as though everyone was just noticing me for the
" Alrighty Red, your kitchen is once again clean " " thank you, so Beau, time is really counting down for you so I'd give you a quick run down and the guys would fill in anything I miss out okay? " " okay " I sit opposite her, giving her my full attention." Right okay, so as you now know we're Werewolves, as regular wolves we live in packs and we have an Alpha, the Alpha's wife is called his mate and mates are predestined by our Moon God and Goddess, they are basically the other half of our souls or our soulmates, you'd be able to scent your mate after you come of age and shift, if you are ever disloyal to your mate he or she would feel a stabbing pain in their chest and vice versa if your mate is disloyal to you, when you touch you'd feel what we call sparks, she would be the only person you would feel that with and your world would rotate around her once you meet her, Alpha mates are called Lunas' our Alpha is Teejan Woods and his mate is Beatrice Woods so they'd be called Alpha Te
Alpha Woods( On a phone call )" I'm telling you Trevor, it has to be him, he's the spitting image of you and Maddie, I'm 90 percent sure he's your son Trent, and the time line matches, tomorrow is his Eighteenth birthday so please try to be here for his first shift, he was raised with humans without any knowledge of our kind so you'd have much to teach him and I'm sure he'd have questions as to where you've been all his life "" No, I don't think I'm wrong Tre, not this time, no Red, and her team mates happened upon them close to our border, he was scared and running away from his human family because people called him a freak for being different, his friends ran away with him, he's returned them home and everything already, please be here "" Okay, see you soon brother "There's no way I could be wrong about this, Beau, his resemblance is too uncanny to not be my nephew, my younger brother Trevor has been looking for his pup so Eighteen long years, he's supposed to be my Beta but b
I chuckle and grab my bag with my clothes, I close my bedroom door and follow her out, we use the jeep and drive back into the centre of the pack where the packhouse is located.When we get out of the jeep the Alpha, Luna and kids are there on the front porch but there is a strange vibe about them “ is everything okay Alpha? ” “ well, we are about to find out Roro” “ okay, shall I stay out here sir or return home?” “ of course not Roro, none of this would have been possible without you honey, Beau please both of you come in and please keep an open mind okay”I silently walk up to them and follow them in the Alpha kids seem to be looking at me with less hostility than before, well I guess having dinner with me paid off then.I walk into the common area and I freeze, there’s a man there he’s an exact replica of me but older, or perhaps I should say, I’m an exact replica of him, I sniff the air and I know right away, this man, this man is my father. Before I say a word he spoke “ I spent
I pick up the sound of footsteps and turn around growling ready to fight " calm down son, it's us, it's me your dad" I growl more aggressively while covering Red with my body, what the hell is happening to me? I was about to lounge when another wave of pain hit me and I fall over and groan in pain, beads of sweat begin to fall from my body, I feel warm hands gently rub my side, even though the pain does not subside it still calms me down a bit " Roro get out of there before he hurts you " I growl ferociously at my uncle, I'm sorry guys I can't help it, I place my weight down on Red, God I hope I'm not hurting her. Another round of mind breaking pain shoots to me and I swear to you I'm about to die, my bones feel like they're breaking on their own, I look down at my hands and I can see fur shooting though my skin, my nose begins to elongate, there's fur everywhere, I throw my head back and scream but it comes out as a howl, I'm exhausted, I hadn't even noticed that Red had moved from
Alpha King Tyler " My King Two more packs have reported rogue attacks and abductions during the attack " I slam my hand on the desk " what the hell is going on? since when are rogue wolves organized enough to stage attack on packs and what's the purpose of abducting people from packs? and what makes it worse is after the attack no one is able to trace them? do they vanish into thin air, do you have any idea the stench rogue wolves carry? how the hell could that stink hide and vanish so quickly? make it make sense to me ! "" I'm not sure what to tell you in regards to that my King, what do you suggest we do?"" Send out Six envoys, Three to each pack let them bring monetary donations to the families who lost a member and to the Alpha for repairs, I know that money could never replace a loved one but it can assist them in any sort of repairs they may need done to their homes and what not, also have them make inquiries about the persons who were taken, see if there was anything out of
I get to my chamber and strip down for a shower, I get in and lather myself from head to toe before rinsing. I step out and dry off before wrapping a towel around my waist, I look at myself in the steamed mirror, I’m not the worse looking guy out there so where the hell is my mate? I have wondered if perhaps she was already dead, killed some how but I trust the God and Goddess would not be so cruel to me, to leave me on my own for the rest of my life. I stand 6’ 6” I carry my brown hair long and keep them back in a ponytail, I’ve grown out my beard and keep it neat, Hazel eyes stare back at me with Gold around my iris, a mark of my royal heritage and blood. The alarm goes off around the pack which means we are under attack, I hear screams and I hurry out the bathroom and quickly dress in a sweat pants and vest and run towards the screaming and crashing sound. I get outside to see she-wolves and pups running and warriors running in the opposite direction, I follow after them, r
" Impossible " Tabitha muttered to herself before looking at the others " you know what it is don't you Tabi? " " come Sala there is something I must show you " " NO TABITHA! YOU CAN'T! " " silence! if this is truly as she says then we must show her! "" We barely managed to escape the last time they were here Tabitha! let us not be involved at all this time around, it is too dangerous! " "we scurried away like dogs with our tails between our legs last time, this time if this is really so we will at least guide them the right way through my Sala " Tabitha turns away from the scared looking bunch and looks at me "follow me child" she leads me through her house and out the back by a large Dark Oar Willa Tree, I look up into the tree as lights dancing and darting through the tree " what are those lights Tabi? " " she can see them? " " I told you my Sala is special, they are Whisps my child, they protect the tree and what lays beneath it."She says a chant while placing her hand on the
RohoI finally arrive to Tabithas after riding for about Two and a half hours, it would have been much longer had I driven, I get off my bad boy and stretch before walking over to her enchantment illusion while pushing the bike over, no way I'm gonna leave my baby out in the open like this, who thell knows who'd pass by when I'm not paying attention and steal him.I take a breath before pushing through the illusion, had I been anyone else I would have walked right on by and not realize there is a massive cottage situated right here, I shiver after I pass through the barrier ugh I hate the feeling, I stop as I feel more than one pair of eyes on me and look around suddenly very alert." It's okay my love, no one here will harm you, come on in the house " I hear Tabi's voice as she comes down from the porch of her cottage, I pull my bike stand down and lean it up and walk over to her, she smiles warmly and extends her hands for a hug and I lean in and hug her, she squeezes me and inhales
I fully well understand their reactions but it's better to be prepared than to be blind sided. That is how you lose " the wolf is at the City, he asked to return to his home but I can not allow it because he may very well be in danger if I allow to return, as they recapture him or kill him thinking he may have told us something he shouldn't have which he has not as he recalls nothing " " How do you know he's being truthful my King " a rumble of a chuckle bubbles up on my chest and Hunter pushes forward just a bit " because no one can fool the Lycan King " the Alpha shrinks back " I meant no disrespect Lycan King, I am merely skeptical about this person who claims to have no memories of breaching the Royal City "Hunter cocks our head to the side and observe him " how many pups do you have Alpha Noel " " I have yet to produce pups my King " he answers without missing a beat, we smile and tap our fingers on the table and he shifts uncomfortably in his seat " is that so? well then best
One by one the Alpha's and their travel companions fle into the room, I'm seated at the head of the table with my head guard at my left and the seat to my right is vacant for Alpha Teejan. As they enter they all greet me and bow to show their respect and submission to me." Okay my King, this is everyone who will be attending today's meeting " soon after the door is pulled open once more and the kitchen staff make their way inside with Eight food trolleys filled with refreshments and light finger foods " thank you ladies, now please ensure no one else disturbs us from this point on please " " yes my King " they bow and leave.I mind link Two of my guards and tell them to stand guard outside the meeting room door and also the front and rear door of the pack house. Not that I am expecting anything but I always like to ensure all bases are covered.I stand commanding all the attention in the room " gentlemen, thank you all for taking the time to attend this impromptu meet today and I mus
I jumped out from behind the brushes just ahead of the woman and she freezes, her eyes widen and she stumbles back and trips, it was then I saw it, her long flowing dress inched up and she has one human leg and one hoof, she scampers to get up and run but Trevor is at her back, her breathing quickens and so does her heart beat, the Two warriors are standing in place, not blinking, not moving just there.Her eyes turn bloody Red, no sign of pupils or white in her eyes and she let's out a scream so loud I swear we are going to be deaf.I step back covering my ears and Trevor does the same, by the time the sound dies down, she's gone, it was only then it really dawned on me that the area is now more lit and you can hear the crickets and cicada’s, it was nothing but silence before *thud, thud* both warriors fall to the ground unconscious.We access them to ensure they are unharmed and once we've verified that they are both men shift and I lay one on each of their backs and I shift too, we
I can finally have a shower and get some much needed sleep, tomorrow is going to be another long day.I shower and get to bed and when I tell you as soon as my head hit the pillow I was gone! By instinct my body naturally wakes up at 5:00 AM, but I just lay in bed for another Twenty minutes because I have no royal duties to tend to just yet so I can afford to lounge for a bit.I slide out of bed and check my phone, it's now 5:35 AM I stretch and head to the bathroom to relieve myself and brush my teeth, I think I'll go for a quick run before the pack rises then shower before the other Alphas get here for the meeting, I haul on a vest and running pants as well as my slippers and make my way down the stairs, this descend will be my cardio warm up before my run.I have a fairly good idea of the grounds from yesterday so I'm certain I won't get lost, I was just out the front door when I see the Alpha and Beta brothers just about the enter the woods, my Lycan hearing allowed me to eavesdro
" Uhm well my King " he blushes and rubs the back of his head " I presume this has something to do with that mate of yours hmm " " yes my King " " has she accepted you? " " well, I guess I can say yes, or more so her wolf has but long story short she does not want to leave her pack here and move to the Royal City " " and you don't want to return to the City without her I take " he bows " yes my King that is correct, please don't see me as an abandoner but if I could just have some time so she could get to know and trust me then perhaps I could convince her to come with me to the City "" It really would be a shame to lose such an exemplary Royal Guard Grey but to me a mate bond is very important and I don't see it as you abandoning us, besides this works out just fine in regards to something I have planned for the packs, we will talk about it further tomorrow okay? be at the packhouse for mmm let's say 09:30 AM and we'd do a briefing and tell the others to be here as well "" Yes my K
Once they were all done, the King stood up and thanked them for their time, we were about to leave when Evo called out to me " ah Alpha Teejan " " yes Evo " " Ivo wants to know, where Red is, he'd like to say thank you but Red never came to visit which is pretty unusual "" Ahh yes sorry, you know Red would've been the first in and last out huh, I sent Red out on a solo mission sorry to say but it couldn't wait "" Okay, we understand we will see Red after then, thank you Alpha " they all bow again as we turn to leave.We walk out of the hospital in silence, once we're outside the King comes closer to me " may I ask what was Red's mission that had to be done so soon after an incident like that " " I do apologies my King, if I had known before you were coming I would not have sent Red straight away, it wasn't until after Red left I got word that you were on the way to the pack "" I see, well if that's what happened then I suppose it can't be helped " Alpha King TylerHmm, I do find i
I meet them on their way to the second site which is where the creatures escaped, I quite honestly feel some type of way that we had them, well one of them in our grasp and let them get away but what comforts me is knowing that even though that happened we were able to save the warrior, his human form has only a small scar on his face which I know would've been much worse had Roro not been there, he most likely would've been disfigured or worse, dead." Ah, Alpha Teejan, you made it " " sorry for the delay Alpha Tyler " " hmm it's no problem, I'd like to speak to the warriors after we finish inspection on the border, I was also telling your Beta that you should think about cutting a few trees around the territory, if it is a case of the creatures really are hiding from the sun then that could be helpful "" Well as much as I appreciate that advise sir, but I don't really that would be a good thing to do because it would then expose our borders not only to other packs and rogues but al
