Bounce's POV
Moi didn't allow his alpha to treat me like a rogue. He made sure I left the pack without any troubles."What else happened?" I asked them."We brought the alpha's daughter," Moi replied.I frowned. " And why is that?"I didn't see any usefulness in them bringing her. It's not as if I want to use her as bait or something."We didn't know what to do with her. We actually didn't know if you would want us to do anything to her since she found out that I'm not you. Your warning that we shouldn't hurt women made us think of bringing her" he explained.In his explanation, it was vivid that he was scared that I would get angry. I wasn't in the mood to get angry. I was about to be the greatest in the whole of the werewolf kingdom. The Pine pack is coming to join my Pack. They are coming to swear their fealty to me.Preparations were going all around for them to be here. The party is a night party and we all know it's going to be a very long one."Why bring her? She's useless" I said nonchalantly." What should be done to her sir?" Moi asked." Just let her be. I'll think about her after the whole ceremony" I said." Yes sir" Moi bowed and left.I wouldn't lie about not getting excited about this added value. I know this wealth will help me destroy my enemies like they are nothing."Alpha, your clothes are ready," my house keeper said.I looked at her. Zin was also part of the people who voluntarily followed me without requesting anything. She's way younger than I am but I like her because she's hardworking. She's the one that takes care of most of my things. Well I wouldn't lie that she hasn't satisfied my desires a couple of times. She was always glad to do it and sometimes I felt guilty because I knew I couldn't marry her.I followed Zin to my room and she pointed at the clothes she put down for me."I don't know what you would love so I made all these" she said with a smile.Zin is a seamstress and she's good at what she's doing. I didn't even bother to check the clothes because I knew they would be good. She has been with me almost sixty years now. I didn't let anyone get close to me but that doesn't mean I don't talk with them at times."What colour do you want me to wear?" I asked her. My tone was not too friendly but not harsh at all."I think you should go for the grey"."Hmm" I said and left without another word. I need to recheck the contract I will hand over to them.Jessy's POVI woke up slowly. Looking around me. The room I was in was spacious but there was nothing aside from a big bed. Not even a chair and table was in sight. I Stood up and ran to the door but it was locked. I shouted at the top of my voice but it seemed like none heard me. I looked at myself and I discovered that I was putting on a cloth that wasn't mine. I almost fainted with shame because I was in my wolf form when I saw those guys and them capturing me means that they saw my nakedness. This almost got me crying. I love my body and I don't like it to be seen by anyone.Now I have the time to mourn my father. I began to cry. The demon Alpha has destroyed my family and now he is holding me captive. I'll surely get my revenge. It was dark everywhere and I couldn't see outside.I start thinking how things will be going in my family. My brother will take up the alpha position all of a sudden. I wonder how the pack will be. I know my brother would have sent search parties to look for me. I don't even know where I am.I then start to hear the sound of music. This music got me so angry."Those idiots are rejoicing over my pain" I groaned.I begin to search for loopholes where I can use them for my escape. I searched and searched but the room was tightly locked. Nowhere even to hide."Demon alpha, I'll get my revenge. I'll make sure I ruin everything you've built for hundreds of years. I'll make sure your family suffers like mine" I swore.Rage was flying out through me. Then I thought of how to make these people pay. Looking up, I saw a lamp. Then an idea came to my mind. I tore part of my dress, set it on fire. I put one by the window and the other under the door. I knew this would attract them.It didn't reach up to three minutes before I heard footsteps running towards the room. The room was opened and I saw one of the men that captured me. I jumped on them and began to fight. They might be strong but I'm an angry alpha wolf. I was dealing with them until one came and hit me so hard that I almost passed out with pain. I didn't want to cry out but I couldn't help groaning in pain.Looking at the one that hit me, I knew he was the demon alpha himself.*******Bounce's POVThe ceremony has started. Today is the day the pine pack will come to pledge their fealty. They arrived like an hour ago but I've not seen them. Nonetheless, I didn't leave them unattended to. I let the men under me go attend to them and according to their report they were well attended to.I was kind of nervous if this decision I'm making is the right one. There is no pack that has outrightly wanted to join mine in such numbers. All the men I've got came alone. Some are rogues and some are not. So this new decision of mine got me thinking and nervous.I've done all I could to make them quit but they were so determined to make me their alpha. I scared them but they wouldn't bulge. I know they were happy to do what they are doing since I could here meeting voices outside. Drums and singing were blasting everywhere. I even heard each family came bearing gifts for the alpha. I wasn't surprised at their generosity since their alpha was a very kind hearted man just like my papa."Alpha, your people await you" Moi came to tell me." Get that and follow me" I pointed to the contact on the table.It was written by me and is going to be signed by the pack's beta and I.Getting outside, I saw a crowd. I wasn't expecting to see so much crowd since their beta told me that most of them have been killed by the disease. I wasn't afraid of the disease because I know my pack can't have it. We are way stronger than the disease."How come the remnants are still these large in number?" I asked myself.There wasn't a reply for me and I expected that since I didn't tell anyone. I saw my chair standing gracefully at the stage where I addressed every of the pack members. Looking at the magnificent masterpiece, I was proud of my crafty ability. Ever since I planned to have a large pack, I was already imagining my seat and I made out this glorious one. The stones were glowing and it gave it so much beauty and even the place it was standing.Everyone rose to their feet when they saw me approach my chair. Deafening silence accompanied it. Even when I was seated no one sat down. I then told them so I could see everyone. I didn't even waste time because I know we have a long night ahead, I went straight to the reason for the gathering."I welcome all pine packs to Sceptre pack. Before becoming a permanent Sceptre pack member, I have few things to say" I paused so as to know if they were ready to listen.Bounce's POV I was grateful to him, so I made him name our pack.The pine pack's stood up and bowed their heads. Since they were sitting in a position, I didn't need them to stand up, but they did."You can have your seat. Just make sure your eyes are on me" I told them.And they obeyed quickly." Like I said, I have a few things to say before the merge. I want you all to understand something. I'm not in any way forcing this union. You all sent your beta to me voluntarily. So I wouldn't owe anyone who thinks this union wouldn't pay him or his family to ransom. You are free to opt-out both individually or as a family. It is your choice. I've told your beta that if you have any inheritance in your pack, you are free to claim it. I'll gladly give you everything. It's worth in money or diamonds, as you want it. Come plain before you take this path that will bind us together for life".Their beta told me he did this already before planning this ceremony but I was doing this again because I
Bounce's POVThey've never failed me and I know they wouldn't now."Alpha, there's fire coming from the restrictions room" a guard came to inform me.I looked toward the restriction room where he told me, even with the distance I could see the smoke. It wasn't a big deal and I knew there was no cause for alarm.We have a lot of restricted rooms aside from a normal jail. We do put tougher criminals there or people whom we want to seclude from mingling with others. The room might look comfortable but it has a lot of hidden tutoring weapons in them. Only myself and one other person is allowed in the room. The punishment for anyone whom we put there is enormous, except the person is not a criminal. I wonder who was there causing such ruckus. I didn't bother myself about it because I knew my men would take care of it."Mitchell, go take care of it" I ordered my real assistant." Yes Alpha" he said and left without hesitation.Talking about Mitchell, he is my real second in command. I know I
Jessy's I know my brother would have been worried about me. I didn't tell anyone before I left home. This was so sad. Father just died and I added my own troubles. I sat down at the bed looking at the meal they brought for me."I wouldn't eat from an enemy's camp," I told myself.I was planning on how to leave. My plan to escape the very first day didn't work. It would have worked if not for the demon Alpha that hit me. I'd be on my way home now. I don't like the way the Alpha was acting as if I exist. Normally he should have come to have a conversation with me and use me to find out a lot about my father's pack, but no one was coming forth. It's been seven days now that I've been here and I didn't hear anything from the alpha. He's just giving me food. They don't even care if I eat it or not. They were just making sure my three meals were intact. Well at least they didn't hurt me. They gave me two maids and two guards that do most of my things for me. As if they knew how stubborn I
Jessy's POVShe seems to be very nice and accommodating. If we'd met on a normal basis, I would have loved to be a friend but I can't make friends in an enemy's territory. It's a trap.I didn't reply to her. I just got down and stared at her with cold eyes. "I'm a seamstress and I feel like as a young woman, you won't like the way you are just changing through two clothes, so I think it would be nice to make you more dresses," said with a smile.I looked at her mockingly. " You want to make me more dresses?"I didn't know if these people think of me to be a joke or something because I'm an enemy and yet she's here talking about dresses. I know how my father treats an enemy when he catches one. I don't know what the demon Alpha's members are trying to achieve. "Yes I even asked the alpha about it" she replied moving closer." Is your alpha planning to hold me here forever?" I asked with disgust.Bella smiled and I don't know what's funny. "The Alpha didn't even know you exist, talk m
Alec's POV I was seated outside with my heart so heavy. It's been weeks since we couldn't find Jessy. There's nowhere we haven't searched. This got Damion so devastated. He couldn't lose two of his beloved in one day. We already buried the Alpha and now Damion has taken his position. While my own father handed me the Gamma.I was really unhappy because of Jessy's disappearance. We didn't even know her whereabouts. Jessy is someone I've wanted a long time ago but my father warned me against having anything to do with her. He said I shouldn't entangle myself with the alpha's life. I didn't know what that meant but I obeyed him. I know he wouldn't say a thing if he doesn't have a concrete reason. Another reason is that, Damion might be my friend but our Alpha isn't someone to toil with.As I was thinking, I saw Jessy's message bird flying over. We've not seen the bird ever since Jessy disappeared. With it showing up now, it gave me a lot of hope. I watched as the bird approached and I sa
Bounce's POV I woke up suddenly from my sleep. Not that I dreamt about anything, talk more of me having a nightmare. It was like a subconsciousness woke me up and I just couldn't close my eyes anymore. I then walked to my window wanting to see if I watch the beautiful view of my land, I'll have my sleep back. Immediately I got there, I sighted a bird flying. I know a message bird whenever I see one. I knew the kind of bird we use in our pack for a message bird, this bird seem not to look like it. I whistled at the bird. Not that I expected it to come but I just wanted to confirm my doubt. Just like no one would dare to refute my words the bird also came when I whistled at it with my Alpha prowess. It couldn't resist the power in my voice.I then took the piece of paper on its claws and read the content. I didn't know who the message was for. So to confirm, I did one secret thing that no one knew I could do. I cut myself and gave the bird just a drop of my blood. More than a drop would
I knew Mitchell was enjoying all these and everything but of it was game to him. He was trying to hide his smiles but it was still lingering."How am I to know that they were naked?" I raised my nose and he laughed.We got down from ten carriage. Looking at them I frowned. Then I turned to Gabriel. "Get them something to cover their lower body. You should have at least show the mighty alpha of the ranger pack some respect. Don't let's be rude" I said.Mitchell chuckled at my words.DamionI was so tired if waiting for the so called Alpha wnad what he wants to do with us. It's afternoon already and it's a very sunny day. The sub was pouring down as if it's against us. We were stake baked so you can imagine how hit we would be. The sun wasn't really the issue. It was how the pack members were going and coming, looking at us with mocking face. Well truth be told, the demon alpha trained his subject well enough. They didn't throw things at us. They didn't even stay like our pack mem6woul
JessyI woke up to notice that something strange seem to be happening. Not that it was that visible but the maids that do tend to me seems a bit tensed when they noticed that I've woken up. I slept till afternoon been that it was almost morning before I could sleep. I climb to my bed to see if I could catch a glimpse of what is happening outside but I couldn't been that this place is not really close to the outside. "Is anything happening?" I asked them."Nothing" they chorused shaking their heads quickly.This gave me the assurance the something is happening. The way they were looking at me was as if that thing relates to me. I'm not a very good judge of reaction but this I know what I'm saying."Are you lying?" I asked them.Them boy wanting to tell me got me scared. Not that they do talk to me like that but at least when I ask questions, they do reply me."Damion should have gotten my message. In fact if they had been here there would have been uproar since last night. Damion won'
I shifted back in my human form and wore my clothes then left. I was still angry but I won't kill my people because I lost some.I went to bath and after laid on my bed to sleep.I knew there was something wrong about the man we catch. He seem too weak to have done what he was said to have done. I didn't believe a word he said but then I must act like I do.One thing I know in my heart was that the person who was stealing the females was done. He just sent this powerless one so that I can stay away from him.I didn't know what to do. This is the first time someone will outsmart me. I didn't have magic for me to stay in a place at a time.This was the thought on my mind when I dozed off.JessyI miss Bounce.I had not seen him for three days now. That was since I woke up."Where is your Alpha?" I asked Bella.Bella as usual was a good friend. She has been with me all through."Miss him?" She asked mockingly.I snorted not ready to admit that I do miss him."I just heard that he beat up
"Who sent you to take my females?"He looked at me and laughed. The laughter was quite bitter and it didn't annoy me ecause it was so fake."Why do you think someone sent me Alpha?" He asked." Are you working alone?" I asked."What do you think?"I snorted at him asking me questions." Mind your manner. Else I will chop off your legs" Mitchell's voice came with hostility.I looked at him again and I still didn't see what I'm expecting to see."Why are you stealing my girls?" I asked.I didn't want to prolong matters with him. I already know that he is not my bait."Well, not only you wants power Alpha. I'm a weak man and I want power too" he said.He was looking quite humble now."Why steal them?" Moi asked.Looking at Moi, I know he was seriously angry. He is a very proud man and doesn't like anything that happens to him to be defected.I'm sure him too would have been expecting it to be a powerful Alpha wolf or a wizard but then this man looks too weak to have stolen one female tal
" Here is more safer than home Jessy. Believe me."That got me more annoyed. " Don't get me vexed Stiles. I'm not a kid and you can't chose what I want to do with my life. See, I don't know why you appeared here all of a sudden but then I won't listen you a betrayer" I shouted.My shouted attracted people that they rushed inside."Ma'am you are awake."Someone looking like a physician said to me.I looked at them with strange eyes and I looked at Stiles who didn't even look bothered by my action.He stood up from where he was seated."I'm leaving" he said.I gave him a nonchalant look."If you still value your life, you shouldn't communicate with your brother again" he said." Is that a threat?" I shouted."No, it's a brotherly advice" he said and then walked out of the room.I felt like to throw something and hit him on his head. No wonder father hated his kind so much.The physician and those with him were looking at me."You need to calm down ma'am, you are still recovering" the p
My memory of me crying out in pain came to me. Why did I get ill suddenly.Did Bounce send me home because all of a sudden, I got sick?Shouldn't that be a blessing in disguise but then I didn't feel blessed at all. I felt like I've been cheated.Since Stiles wouldn't talk, I took my hand from his and spoke."When did I get home?" I asked palely.I tried to sit up and Stiles helped me."Water?" He asked.I nodded. My throats was truely dress. After I drank little water, looked at him."You are not home" he said.That was really a confusing reply.If I'm not at home and didn't leave where I am, I must still be at pine pack and Bounce is definitely there. How then did Stiles get here.He won't dare to come to the Demon Alpha's territory. When he is not asking for death. All these thoughts were flowing into my head.And Stiles was doing his best annoying me with his looks. Instead of him to continue talking he was just looking at me. "Do youind to say few more words so I can understand?
"Well you lost her" I said.I then start to walk away before I saw the physician running towards us again. I don't know what he wanted now. I just hope she didn't disappear all of a sudden or start to remove maggot. I've heard enough bad news for today."Alpha, she's breathing again" he shouted happily.I looked at him with a frown. Anyone that sees me frown would think that I didn't want her to wake up. But then it was his uncalled for excitement that got me frowning.I could hear sigh of relief from the people around me. I then looked at the Beta. His face wore a smile."Congratulations then" I said."Thank you Alpha" the beta bowed happily.I didn't even acknowledged his appreciation. Then something came to my mind. If Jessy wakes up and what happened truely happened, she'll start to feel indebted to me. I didn't want her attitude to change just because she feel like I'm her savior. I looked at the people around me and I was glad that they were few. The beta had pleaded that he di
Jessy's eyes was tightly closed now. I prayed it's not too late to save her."Jessy" I called her again.This time, she tried to open her eyes but couldn't. She could only move her eyelashes. "Open your mouth" I said to her.I could see that she was struggling to open her mouth, so I used my hand to do it and let Mitchell pour the blood in her mouth. After we were sure that she swallowed it, we waited for her reaction.Then suddenly I noticed that she stopped breathing."Check her" I said firmly to the physician.I could see that him too noticed that her breathe stopped. He moved closer and checked thoroughly but then he lifted up his eyes sadly. He didn't need to tell me that Jessy is dead.At least I wouldn't die of guilt that she died because of me sleeping with her or because I didn't help her. I tried what I could but it just didn't work. I stood up from where I sat and then walked back to the pack's hall to tell her Beta that she's dead. I felt sad but then I didn't show it. I
"Waging war is at your own detriment boy".Mitchell looked at me and chuckled too. "I know Alpha and as a true Beta that I am, I don't want to loose lives that for a crime committed by others" he said with a doleful look.I looked at him. He seem to know what he's getting himself into."Please make your request snappy you are wasting my time" I said bluntly." She just need few drops of your blood to get her back to life" he said.Everywhere became so silent at that. Mitchell and I exchanged look. This one must be kidding me for making such request. I know how powerful my blood can be but then anything that I give my blood becomes my own and listens to me. Now me giving my blood to a stranger that can decide to betray me tomorrow is very dangerous."Is this some sort of joke?" I asked sternly.He was silent." Do you know what you are asking for?" I asked." Is this some plot or something?" Mitchell asked glaring at him.The Beta went on his knees. This was so amazing. He is a Beta,
Mitchell nodded and left while I went into the bathroom to get properly dressed. I've met with the ranger pack before and I know for them to have the effontry to come, they would have reinforced.I went to see Jessy before her family come to know the state she is now. Her spirit is living her little by little. I really pity her. Her pretty face was now as white as snow and my heart ache. She might be a real trouble to me but then I'm not happy seeing her like this.Slowly she opened her eyes and looked at me. I quickly moved back so that she won't see me but then it was too late."Bounce?" She called.I didn't answer her. I just stood where I was."You don't have to blame yourself. It's fine" she said and closed her eyes back.I don't know why she said that. Has she started to see the dead's vision. How was she able to know that this was my fault. I was so overwhelmed with guilt. I wish to hold her and tell her I'm sorry but then I can't apologize to an enemy. It's not befitting for a
"I know you are working so hard Alpha. It's been a long time you and I have shared a bed. I know be a bit of relaxing distraction to you. You know?"She was using her finger to trace my arm slowly. Because of her being the only woman I'm safe to be with, I let go of her shortcomings but then now is not the high time for me to sleep with a woman. My head is so occupied.Although no kidnap has happened since I got here but I've not caught any. I don't want any distraction. I looked sternly at the finger she was using yo trace my body. I'm a man of self-control if not women would have been used to catch me a long time ago. There were many plotting women that came to lie with me so they could do me harm but then they were really disappointed.That's one of the reason I do not like Jessy. She seem to be the only woman whom I might fall into her trap if I'm not careful. Even if she's not seducing, I'm attracted to her and I know that's my doom. Well if she dies I don't have anything to fear
