Chapter 2

Kaiser

 

“Alpha!” my beta Ryan said as he entered my office. I was keeping myself busy with paperwork that piled up while I was away on vacation. I felt like I was exhausted and wanted to find release because of the previous incident in the pack. Now I had to deal with these reports from my patrol guards that don’t give me anything but headaches.

 

“What is it?” I asked angrily. I didn’t want to be disturbed, especially when I didn’t like doing what I was doing, yet I had to.

 

“The patrol mind linked me and told me that we were needed at the southern part of the border. They found the dead body of one of our own," he said. In an instant, I got up from my seat and ran to where he said the body was found. We ran out of the pack house and shifted so we would be able to get there a lot faster.

 

“Alpha,” the patrol greeted me and made way for me so I and Ryan could pass as the other patrol guard handed us our shorts. And there we saw the dead body of one of our young pack members. A girl, who I think was 14 years old.

 

“Have you informed her parents?” I asked.

 

“I mind-linked Gamma Misch for that.” The patrol leader replied in a low voice, and then I looked at the girl. I am a womanizer, so I only pleasure women. I would never dare hurt them physically or, at worst, kill them. But seeing the child, there was only one culprit for this incident. Rogues.

 

“Next time, mind link me directly when something like this happens," I told the patrol. I understand why they had to go through Ryan first, but this was a matter of our pack member’s life, and I need to know it before anyone else. They matter to me more than the papers on my table.

 

“Bring the child’s body to the hospital and let the doctor examine her first. I want to know what else she suffered at the hands of whoever did that to her. And start working properly, because I can't accept the fact that she died at our border! Do you hear me?” I said it angrily.

 

“Alpha,” Ryan said,

 

“What? Are you expecting me to keep calm when one of our pack members, at such a young age, died like that? And what’s worse, she died in the pack from that filthy rogue! A rogue in my pack! Did you get that?”

 

“Yes, Alpha." He replied and couldn't utter a word. He knew to himself that this was unacceptable. 

 

"Make everyone on duty get punished for this,” I said and left them. I am ruthless, even toward my own pack members. Especially to those who should be helping me secure the safety of everyone. And this incident is no better than the previous one that caused me to take a vacation. The last thing I need is the loss of any of the pack members, young or old. Fighter or not.

 

I went back to the pack house and went straight to my bedroom, stressed and needing a release. Just as I opened the door, the naked body of the neighboring pack’s beta daughter greeted me. After I closed the door, the woman got up from my bed, smiled seductively, and jumped at me. I needed something to vent my frustrations, and a good fuck is the best way to do it. Thank goddess, this woman visited the pack.

 

“Oh, Kaiser,” the woman moans.

 

“That’s Alpha Kaiser to you, bitch," was my grim reminder. Not because we fuck; she already had the right to call me by name. No matter how many times we reach our climax, I am always an alpha to them. “I'll stop if you don’t know about hierarchy.”

 

“Yes, Alpha," she replied, so I continued pounding on her again and again and withdrew my dick every time we climbed high. There’s no way that I am going to make her the mother of my children. My mate is the only one who has the right to conceive my pups, and I am going to wait for her no matter what. In the meantime, a good fuck is a good fuck.

 

Two days later, while watching the training, I received a mind link from a patrol guard. 

 

‘Alpha, a rogue. Southern border.’ 

 

Fuck, that is where we found the girl's dead body last time. I rushed there and began to think about what to do to that bastard once I caught him.

 

"There, Alpha,” the guard said, pointing at the smirking rogue. It seemed like he was underestimating my pack, thinking he would be able to escape me. My blood started to boil, reminiscing about the girl's look, so I only saw blood.

 

‘Ryan, are you in position?’ I mind-linked my beta.

 

‘Yes, Alpha.’ he replied. Then I focused on the rogue, and without a word, I jumped at him. But he was expecting that already, so he dodged me easily. However, what he didn’t expect was my next move. After he dodged, I already knew which side he would go to, so my fist was already waiting for him, which made him fully receive my strength.

 

I saw shock on his face, but that’s not what I wanted to see. I want to see him agitated and frightened to death while begging. Although I see him now, I doubt that he will do that. I was about to get closer to him when the rogue ran away as soon as he got up. He’s fast, and I admire him for that. Compared to my warriors, surely he will outrun them.

 

But we are a pack, and we have our own ways of apprehending faster enemies. I know that the others are ready, and we are already surrounding him, so I slow down a bit. He will be more or less the same as a mouse caught in a trap. Everything was ready, and we only needed to show up when I smelled the most intoxicating smell that comes with the wind. 

 

Chamomile has a delicate and soothing aroma that instantly offers me a sensory experience that transports me to a tranquil meadow in full bloom. As I approached the owner of the scent, the first note that wafted toward me was a sweet, honeyed scent, reminiscent of warm, sun-kissed wildflowers. It was gentle and inviting, akin to a soft embrace on a sun-drenched afternoon.

 

The scent that was all over the place was so captivating that I thought everything stopped and only me and whoever owned that scent mattered. 

 

The scent possesses a unique ability to soothe and calm my senses, evoking a sense of tranquility and relaxation. As I sniffed a delicate aroma gently wafting through the air, it remarkably alleviated tension, eased anxiety and promoted a feeling of inner peace. Its comforting fragrance offers solace and comfort in moments of stress or restlessness. The scent has the power to create a sanctuary of calmness, inviting me to unwind and embrace moments of tranquility amidst the chaos of everyday life.

 

All in all, the scent made me feel serene and relaxed. It possesses a calming quality, like a meadow at dusk, where the golden sunlight casts a warm, tranquil glow and the world seems to slow down. A soothing balm for my senses, inviting me to unwind, find solace, and embrace the simple beauty of nature. Is this really how my mate smells?

 

“Minee…” I couldn't help but yell. The rogue took that chance and tried to get my mate, who looked curious, and my heart almost stopped when I thought I would be too late to help her. But I was astounded with her reflexes and with how she easily dealt with the bastard.

 

After that, my warriors and Ryan took the rogue away while I tried to get her, as she tried to deny our bond. Can’t she smell me? We are close to each other, so there was no way that she wouldn't, right? As I was about to reach for her again, shock and anger arose in me when she vanished into thin air.

 

“What the–,”
