"Alpha we have been waiting for you." Beta Ren greeter me as I enter my pack territory.I nodded my mood hasn't been lifted off after my last night's spitfire round.We must have been the only mates who fought on the second day after they met. For God's sake, we need to filter our minds before we have another conversation. And no not that type of filter. I mean, just remove the negatives from our mind.Today morning was dull and everyone could feel the tension thick in the air. I regret my actions. I really do. I shouldn't have lost my temper that easily, and usually I am not such a bitch but something about the conversation made me cranky. After breakfast my mate, the slut — Stella, Mischa, Gamma Wilson and two pack warriors came with me to join the fight, actually to be spectators.I was not amazed that Stella came with us after all she is the future Luna. Before we left my mate returned back to his cold and aloof side and told everyone that there are no changes since I don't want t
"One by one come forth and state your name and your reason for your challenge." I commanded as I look straight in their eyes.The wolf that hit the tree steps forward dragging his almost healed body looking down at the ground in shame. They know the punishment is death according to any pack rule. Disrespecting one's Alpha is equivalent to death but I am no Alpha."My name is Seth Harbour. My reason is that I believed that you don't deserve to our head because I thought you are weak and incapable of leading a pack; especially when you don't claim yourself as our Alpha."I nodded and turn to the other man."My name is Antonio Ulcer. My reason to believe you don't deserve to be our commander is because, we are united rogues. We should show our powers to other packs and should try to gain a better part of their land but you prefer peace. That shows we are weak." He finished and looks up at me.I nodded and before Alex could come forward I stop him."Seth, I believe you don't think I am we
One week.I sighed. It's been one week since I returned back to Dark Sky pack, and it's been one week since I have seen my mate, Byrone. He is pretty good at ignoring I must give him that.But daily encounter with Stella and her overconfidence makes me nauseous. I ignore her but she keeps on coming in front trying to overpower me. Not because she thinks I am weak but because she has something to flaunt her soon-to-be-Luna position.I don't know how long I am staying here so I contact my beta almost all the time since I am working from here. I don't want to leave them hanging. My little room here has become my office, scattered with papers and files I bought with me. This distracts my mind from my mate and I am happy to be working all the time.The door to my room opens with a thud revealing a very angry looking Mischa."You! Yes, you! You are a disgrace to my friend circle. Live a little! Stop trying to kill yourself by overworking," she grits out as she snatches the file from my hand
I groan as I wake up. I can't sleep more than five hours even if I want to. It's like a personal body clock, which wakes me up everyday exactly at the same time. As always I step into the shower though I know after practice I will have to shower again but I feel sweaty after last night.Last night?Oh my... It all comes rushing back to me, my first kiss. Damn it.After our incident the way back to home was quiet and tense. Mischa sensed that something was different between us; whereas Stella was just Stella lost in her future title. And we made home quicker than expected and I rushed to my room.Now that I think, how will I face Byrone now? I didn't have any idea that this would happen, what changed? I still can't be his mate, even if I want. And these feelings which are not supposed to arise are now on full swing! I need to control myself before I get both of us in trouble.I stepped out of the shower and change into a black sports bra and leggings for practice. I take the sundress t
"So you live in the pack house?" I asked Byrone as we walking towards the dungeons for the interrogation."Well, I have to come here to do pack work, so yeah most of the times I stay here. But we have a house, not so far away from the pack house. Mischa and I, with our parents used to live there. Someday I will take you there," he tells me while looking in distinct as if thinking something."You have any other siblings?""No, only Mischa." He waved as we become silent. "My parents died in an unfortunate incident. They were murdered. But that wasn't a fair fight; it was an act of cowardice. Dad was fooled and killed... and my mother died because she wasn't able to handle my father's death," he whispered and his face cringes at the memory and he almost spat while saying 'cowardice'.I don't know about my parents, where they are or what happened to them but I understand the pain of being without parents. Has it been my parents I would have gone for vengeance."I am sorry to hear that. Yo
BYRONEAvery, one word, one name, one person and one Alpha and now my whole existance.Since the day I met her, I have been in denial not because she was weak or she is a rogue. Those things don't matter to us. But our past matters.After what happened to my parents, it's safe to say that I am scared to think about having a mate. Not that I will ever express this emotion to anyone but I have been scared; scared of feelings and emotions, scared of depending on that one person for my peace of mind and existence, scared of allowing someone to enter into my life.One who ruined it a woman who was caused my demise. How can another woman heal me? Repair me?I can't forget the years I spent without my parents and when I had to run away and live in woods alone.I am strong because I was left to face the dangers alone since I was what, seven? Mischa was lucky, she was away back then and they were so far that they couldn't contact me.I was alone with no parents and a woman after me to kill me.
The only thing I was running from, I had no idea will catch me so bad. Thinking about myself, I forgot to care about everyone else.I am so selfish. It is easy to catch my scent on Rachel. She has been living with me for what ten years? How can I leave her unprotected, when I knew there is trouble.But I thought they aimed at me, I didn't know they'll play it dirty. I had no idea.I am the one to be blamed for Rachel's death. Throughout her life, she gave me love, protection. She fed me, helped me. Trained me. And this is how I repay her?By leading my problems directly towards her?I killed her. I did. I should have saved her. I was late. I left her unprotected. I knew they were coming behind me but they go to Rachel just to pass me the message that 'they can get me whenever they want', defines how horrible they are.I can't stay anywhere. Wherever I'll go, I'll just bring trouble. Why can't everyone understand that and leave me alone.Leaving Via there, alone, by herself. Has been t
I don't remember when I slept during the journey but when I woke up, I was back in my room.Byrone wasn't around but his scent was present in the air, he must have been here for long.I throw the covers and get on my feet as I look for my phone.Mindlinking takes lot of energy and I am exhausted. I call my Beta who picks his phone after second ring."Alpha." He addresses."Ren, I believe you are busy with the arrangements? I want the report." I ask straight to the point."Alpha... Are you serious? We don't want it." He admits."Ren, it's my decision to make. And I want it.""Is it because of Alpha of Shadow pack?" He spits as I can feel his anger bubbling inside against my mate. I sigh, it's going to be hard explaining things."On second thought, I don't want you to start the preparations for the fight." I reply as he exhales sharply, a sigh of relief."Okay, Alpha. Thank God!""I am not done with my statement yet Ren." I remind as I can imagine his stature to stiffen at my words."Yo
