04) Mysterious Pull

Chaos's POV

(From the beginning)

.

I don't like that pack.

That was nothing personal. But I didn't like it either, because even though I've earned a name as the most ruthless alpha in the world, their methods weren't something I would approve of.

There should be respect and mutual understanding between pack members. But it doesn't seem to be there in that shit hole.

They even dared to demote one of their own pack members into a slave!!!

Exactly what kind of sick minds do they have?

"Alpha, we're here." As my beta, Ezra announced our arrival, I composed myself and got out of the car.

"Welcome, Alpha Nightwalker... Beta Zale..." The alpha of the Redmoon pack, Jared Redmoon greeted us.

But I didn't care about his hospitality or the respect he showed towards me. The council wanted me to investigate whether this pack is having a slave or not and that's what I'm going to care about.

"My alpha would like to rest for a while. Where are our rooms?" Ezra asked in my stead.

.

"Alpha, are you planning to do what the council asked?" Ezra asked after we settled down in our rooms.

"Yeah. But before that, I need some rest." I get onto the bed dismissing him since this trip was like a vacation for me.

But for some reason my wolf kept nagging in my mind making it annoyingly hard to fall asleep.

'What do you want, Eros?' I asked, annoyed.

'Something isn't right. I feel like our mate is here. But it's very hard to detect her presence. It's like something more powerful is concealing her.' As my wolf, Eros explained I too felt worried but I didn't care.

I wasn't someone who's made out from 'mate material'. I'm cold, ruthless and heartless to the core and I never cared much about my 'feelings' or imagined having a mate in my future. And I never felt any urge to find mine after I first shifted either.

Now... I didn't know what to do either.

'Try to trace her presence. I don't wanna lose her. Even if you don't care, I still need a mate. So, follow the leads.' Eros demanded.

'You old dog! You really are a huge pain in my ass.' I grumbled, but got off the bed nonetheless and walked downstairs.

Not long after, I also felt something pulling me towards the kitchen and my body also accepted it's' not-so-powerful invitation, forcing me to move.

Soon I found myself staring at my beta trying to calm down a scared little girl.

At first glance, I realized that she is the one who I felt the pull towards. And my wolf also whimpered softly, feeling relieved that he finally found her. But I didn't feel like she was the right one even though my wolf was satisfied with his founding. 

I feel- I knew for a fact that something is clearly wrong with that little beauty...

"Alpha" Ezra bowed down to me as the girl fell onto her knees.

"What's going on here?" I asked, looking at her small figure.

She had her midnight black hair tied up to a bun and had a sickly pale skin tone, but I failed to see her eyes as she kept them lowered towards the floor. Also she only possessed a dull-creamy scent and it was not very intoxicating as it should be if she was to be my mate. Also, I had many questions waiting at the tip of my tongue waiting for the right moment to get them thrown into her timid figure..

But since Eros didn't want to accept that the pull we're feeling towards her is a wrong call, I had to restrain myself from doing something reckless and scare her off to prevent my wolf from going on a rampage and Ezra helped prove the fact.

When he slightly covered her figure with his body in order to make her feel less-intimidated by my presence, Eros took over my body in a flash and attacked him without any second thoughts.

I knew my sudden attack confused my beta and scared the girl, but my wolf didn't want to back off. He had already recognized that girl as someone who should belong to him. 

"What's going on here? And why are you attacking your own beta?" My cousin's voice suddenly rang out breaking me from my trance.

"Nothing. My wolf got out of control for a moment. That's all. Ezra, let's go." I said coldly, releasing Ezra from my grasp and marched out of the kitchen without waiting there any longer. 

"Alpha... are you... okay?" Once out of their hearing range, Ezra asked skeptically.

"As I said, Eros got out of control but I'm fine now." I deadpanned. 

"Could it be that she is your..."

"Don't know. Eros felt some kind of pull towards her, but I didn't find her scent as intoxicating as it should be for a mate." I replied nonchalantly, earning an "Oh" from Ezra.

.

However, after that I found myself wondering about her and waiting for a chance to see her again. But since that day I couldn't find any trace of her weak scent anywhere in the pack lands.

It was almost like she had disappeared into thin air. And I was just about to give up when I caught a whiff of her scent mixed with blood coming from the exact same place where I met her for the first time.

There, in the middle of the kitchen floor she laid curled up into a ball trying to avoid kicks from two other females. She didn't make any sound but her face was distorted in excruciating pain.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING OMEGAS?" Eros's voice boomed through me scaring the shit out of those two bitches.

"Alpha! We... We're teaching this slave a lesson..." One of them said without any shame or fear.

"Slave?" I questioned coldly since it was the reason I came here personally and they dare to say things like that so shamelessly?!

"We- I- It's- We-" They stuttered like hens who were trying to lay eggs, but I didn't care as I approached the injured girl.

There were cuts and wounds at every inch of her body and she was slipping in and out from consciousness.

"You reek of Aziel's scent." Eros growled angrily into her ear before trying to pick her up.

"Eva! What happened?!" But when Aziel's panicked voice rang through the kitchen before his hurried footsteps approached us, a threatening growl ripped through my throat.

However, he didn't pay any attention to it as he picked her up and ran out after threatening her torturers. And it successfully threw my wolf off the edge making it very hard to control the urge I felt to shift.

What exactly is their relationship? And who is she to me?
