The Attack

KATERINA CLERKS

I don't know why but my mind just can't stay calm. I keep having this feeling that Seb is going to do something. And immediately I walked down the hallway, I saw him with his phone. He was already done talking to whoever it's on the phone but I was lucky to caught his last statement.

I heard him hissing and calling someone bastard.

If not Damian, then who?

The only person Seb hated the most in this world is Damian. Sometimes, It feels like he was the one Damian cheated on and not me.

"Who were you talking to over the phone?" I asked as I approached him, my eyes narrowing at him.

He swiftly spun around, looking startled. "No one" He answered with a straight face but I wasn't convinced enough.

I raised an eyebrow at him, still staring deep into his soul to make him confess the truth but he didn't bulge. "Don't give me that lie, Sebastian. I know you're hiding something from me and we both know what it is. Just tell me the truth, this is about him, right? Damian?"

His expression instantly changed and at that moment, I regret telling him about Damian. His eyes seemed too cloud over and I knew I was right.

Yes, I know how much he cared about me but going this far when I don't even know what he's trying to pull this time is just somehow.

"Kate, I... Look, I need to-" He couldn't complete his statement when Janet, my pack Delta swiftly dashed towards us while breathing heavily.

"What is it, Janet? Why are you looking like this?" I questioned, my eyes widened, not in shock but confused.

She bowed her head to us before speaking. "Alpha, I think you should step out for a moment. There's a dangerous rogue outside. We just caught him taking pictures of the warehouse where we store our weapons. Also he's killed two of our guards"

"What?!!!" I growled, my eyes burning in anger.

Damn those stupid rogues. I heard they've been troubling the pack ever since my father's death. I was still going to call a meeting on them with the pack council's before the end of today but they've made it easy for me now.

"Lead the way" I said to her.

Just before I could move my leg, Sebastian grabbed my arm, stopping me. "Katerina, I know the situation is important but I also need to talk to you abou-"

"Seb, let's talk about this later. You just said it, the situation is important. Let's take care of this first then we talk later"

I followed Janet as she lead the way with Sebastian by my side. We got to the front porch and saw the guards had already pinned the snarling rogue down. He kept snarling and trying to gett out of their grip but they're too powerful than him.

"Well, I will let you speak and hear your side of the story before deciding on what to do with you." I said to him before turning to face my guards. "Release him" I ordered.

Sebastian looked shocked as he passed me a warning glance but I didn't look his way. My gaze still fixed on the rouge whose eyes is still blazing with fury as he stare back at me with a menacing look. "You think you're better than us?" He said as a scoff escape his lip. "No, you're not! You're just a weak little alpha, thinking you can control us. But you can't. We will show you what real power looks like!" He threatened, his hands clenched into a fist while he still struggle to get out of my guards grip.

With Sebastian by my side, I could feel his body tensing, ready to teach the idiot a lesson he will never forget. If it were left to him, I had already imagine what he would have done to him by now. But I want to be a different Alpha, I really and truly want to be a nice Alpha, just like my father and the Alpha of the Scorpio Pack. While I was living there with my kids, I've seen him rule- he was a good man who never treated his people badly. He handled situations without a fight or hurting anyone. His pack was so peaceful- that's how I want mine to be, but why is not working out for me? Or, is there something that I'm not doing right?

"You're making a very big mistake. You'll regret ever laying your fingers on me!" He growled again, his voice rising as he keeps threatening me.

I nodded to the guards to release him as I noticed that he might have a lot to say. I wanted him to believe that I was never going to hurt him. Maybe, just maybe if I'm being nice to him, I might be able to get to the bottom of this and know the reason why they're targeting my pack. The guards did as they were being told but this idiot swiftly shifted instead. Janet instantly unsheathe her sword, ready to strike him down and protect me. He screamed loudly and lunged towards me in full speed but I rolled my eyes instead, while still remained unmoved.

To him, I might be a lady but I'm not just an ordinary lady. I've got the powers. In this pack, despite having so many powerful warriors, the only person who can defeat me is Sebastian.

Before I could also shift and teach him a very good lesson he will never forget, Sebastian had already shifted and stood in front of me.

Of course, he caught me off guard but I am not bothered because I know what he's capable of. Sebastian might be a Beta but he's a powerful one. Sometimes, I ponder if he's a Beta or an Alpha because he possessed all the qualities of an Alpha. And the way he acts and fights sometimes, keeps making it more confusing.

Janet had already unsheathed her sword and ready to strike alongside with Seb but I stopped her, raising my hand and signaling for her to wait. "Let Sebastian handle him" I said and she nodded, bowing her head while she sheathe her sword back.

Sebastian's dark wolf is now hovering over the rogue's grey one. The rogue snarled and snapped, but Sebastian's wolf is too powerful for him.

With a swift swipe of his paw, Sebastian pinned him to the ground and he struggle to get out but all to avail. He tried biting Sebastian but Sebastian's grip got stronger.

I watched in awe as Sebastian's wolf dominated the rogue's. His fur was dark and sleek, his eyes gleaming with a fierce inner light. Right now, he looked like a true Alpha fighting. If I didn't know him too well, I would have said he's an Alpha.

Seeing that he can never beat Seb, the rogue whimpered and cowered, finally submitting to Sebastian's dominance as he shifted back to his human self. Seb's wolf stood over him, chest heaving heavily and I ordered the guards to lock the rogue up.

I wanted to listen to him, hear him out but he choose to be violence.

As Sebastian shifted back, his torn clothes revealed his well built body and for a moment, it got me stunned. This isn't the first time of seeing him shirtless, we grew up together and I've seen him like this countless times. I don't just know why it's getting to me now.

I quickly rushed to his side, trying to inspect his body to be sure if he's fine and didn't get any wound. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" I asked in a worried tone, my voice soft and anxious.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me" He assured me, but I could still see the tension in his eyes, the hint of a growl still lurking in his throat. He is still riding the energy of the shift and I knew he needed a moment to calm down.

I nodded and turned to the guards. "Take him away and make sure you chain him down so he doesn't escape. I will deal with him later" I ordered.

He passed me a glaring look one last time before they drag him away. Those look didn't leave my head because I know exactly what it stands, that was a look of anger and revenge. I just can't stop wondering what has my pack done to them?

Why targeting my pack?

Is this someone's doing? Of course, I do know it's but is it someone that I know? It can't be Sarah and Clara, right? They're not teaming up with the rogues to ruin my reign as the Alpha of this pack, are they?
