CHAPTER 1: A TYCOON, A MAFIA LEADER, A DEVIL, A BEAST

UNKNOWN’S P.O.V

“I regretted it! I regretted it terribly! Stealing from the poor…I didn’t know that he would find out and now I am on the run, hopefully I can get away…” I packed all my necessary belongings as fast as I could, sweat beaded on my forehead. Every second counted as I took quick glances at the clock. I sighed in relief, he didn’t find me as yet! I zipped up the backpack and headed for my front door…maybe I would get away with this…maybe I can survive this!

However, as soon as I opened my front door that thought disappeared. About 7 or 8 black cars surrounded my house forming a semi-circle which I could not escape. Men in black suits and dark glasses stood in front of the cars, each one of them held a gun which pointed in my direction. But it wasn’t them that scared me…it was the unarmed man in the middle who made my palms sweaty and the hair in the back on my neck stand on ends! It was him!!! Him, who everyone spoke about…him whose name was whispered in the wind because people were too afraid to say it out loud!!! Him, who had so much blood in his hands yet he was worshipped!!!

He looked calm with his eyes being Egyptian blue, leaning on the bonnet of his Rolls Royce, his hands in the pockets of his long grey coat. It was true what they said about him…he was more handsome than I was with his sharp but perfect features, skin as smooth as porcelain, hair as black as the night sky, he was taller than all the men who stood on either side of him which makes him the most attractive man that this town has ever seen. Along with his looks, he had his stigma attached to him…he successfully built his own business empire and brought in even more wealth to his already wealthy family, let’s not forget about him being a mafia boss as well…as rumors have it he had every powerful man wrapped around his fingers and he plays them like his puppets! Maybe he would let me live, he doesn’t look too upset, but after all, it is him…is he merciful? Merciful? He is the devil who walks this Earth, owning everything that catches his eye and just like that he owns this town.  ‘Stermyer’ doesn’t have the police to keep everyone in order…it has the ‘Hunters’, but it is only Austin hunter who can make a person both excited and afraid at the same time. He is like a celebrity…Everyone has heard about him, the girls crave to just get a glance of him, but you would only see him when you are about to die.

Watching me take a step back, his eyes turned from Egyptian blue to sliver with golden flakes which reminds me that apart from a business tycoon, mafia boss, devil who walks this Earth he is also a beast and I don’t mean this in a metaphorical way. He is a literal beast just like everyone else who lives in this town, the only difference with him was that he is our Alpha.

With a swift movement, I ran back inside and locked the door. I heard a loud bang and the next thing I knew was that I was on the floor, the biggest wolf that I had ever seen was standing above me. His fur was a beautiful black color, his eyes glowing gold. He growled in anger and I began to plead. My wolf fought to come out but I kept him in, I knew that we would stand no chance against the powerful Alpha Austin Hunter. I knew it was over now and I deeply regretted the wrongs that I have done…but the thing about him is that he doesn’t forgive anyone!!! With a swipe of his powerful claw, I felt my throat rip opened and I began to fade away as all of my blood oozed out! He stood and watched, proud of the slow and painful death that I was experiencing…
