Chapter Three

Adam's POV

I was in my room reflecting on what transpired today.

" Oh boy, what a turn of events," I remarked.

When my dad proposed that we move to this town, I was against the idea. The fact that I had to change my school and leave my buddies behind was so annoying.

But after meeting Lyra, I must admit that this school is becoming interesting. After dropping Lyra off yesterday, I couldn't forget the perfume of her body.

Her smile was so innocent, giving her a unique look. I took a peek at her back sides and it was no less perfect than her round melons. She had dark hair and blue eyes like me, and the dimples on her jaw all summed up to make her a perfect beauty.

Whenever she was shy or nervous, it kind of turned me on.

When I was introduced in class, I was surprised to see a Pure Blood in class. Any werewolf that got the scent of her blood would probably want to drink from her. The whole ride, I was holding back the urge to drink from her, till I finally dropped her home.

That is probably why Norman is after her. He is from a very dangerous pack, so the more he hangs around Lyra, the more she is in danger. The south pack pay no heed to rules and their Alpha is a notorious man. I must do anything to keep Lyra from them.

" Hey Adam are you in there?" My dad's voice echoed at the door.

" Yes you can come in, the door is open," I replied.

My father stepped in, putting on his military attire. It always looked small for his body because of his bulging muscles. He had a serious look on his face, so I knew the matter at hand wasn't a joking matter.

" Adam, what were you thinking when you interfered with the meal of another wolf? And that too the son of the Alpha of the southern territory?" He asked.

" She was a Pure Blood," I replied.

" A Pure Blood?" My father's facial expression became that of shock, but he quickly returned his expression back to being crossed.

" And so? You just can't interfere in another wolf's meal, you know it's against the rules. I received a warning letter from the Alpha of the southern pack. He threatened to wage a war against the Northern pack if this happens again. And you know what that means." He explained.

We are from the Northern pack and my father is the second in command. This means he is a Beta.

" Before we came here, to the south, Alpha Mike warned us to be careful because we were heading out of our territory, to the southern territory. Alpha Benson is a man not to mess with, you better watch how you interact with his son." He warned.

" I know interfering with another wolf's prey is against the rules, but what if that prey is no ordinary prey?" I asked.

My father looked a little confused as he asked "What do you mean?"

" I love the Pure Blood girl and I want to make her my mate." I said.

Pure Bloods were special human beings who were born only once in a thousand years. All the Pure Bloods that have lived before have always gone missing, or found in a state where their blood was all dried out. This is because their blood contains special qualities that are of great importance to werewolves.

It can instantly heal fatal injuries when consumed. Wolves live a long time, but they cannot live forever. But consuming a Pure Blood's blood can extend their lives.

" You mean you are in love with a human?"

My father asked as he widened his eyes in shock.

" Yes and even if it means I have to start a war to protect her, so be it." I said firmly.

I looked at my father's face and I expected him to have a huge frown on his face, but he was smiling instead. " Right now you sound just like my younger self. Before I could be together with your mother, I had to fight off a lot of her suitors, even from other packs. She was the most beautiful woman in town." He explained.

" Listen son," he said. " I know love just happens to anyone, then they start doing crazy things, but I want you to keep in mind that there would be consequences for your decisions, so get ready for them. She is a Pure Blood and you know this means more wolves would be coming for her right?" He asked.

" Yes father, I know, that is why I would have to mark her soon," I said.

Marking a mate required biting the female on her neck, to leave a bite mark. It was different from sucking her blood for consumption. It was more of a ritual, carried out when mating. It could only be done once and once it was done, no wolf had the right to claim your mate. So I had to do everything to be the first.

With a heavy heart, my father Left my room. I knew he was worried about me, but I had already made my mind up.

I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but I couldn't, I kept thinking about Lyra, so I went out to go grab a beer.

As I moved down the quiet street, I felt someone following behind me, so I stopped.

" John, you can come out now and stop the drama." I said.

" Damn, you always figure it out, but one day I promise I will get you." John said.

" Yeah, in your dreams." I joked. John approached me and gave me a big old time hug.

" Nice to see you again man." He said.

John is my cousin and also the son of the Alpha of the Northern territory, Alpha Mike.

" I can't believe you left all the way from the northern territory to be here." I remarked.

" It was just a thirty minute run though." He said.

" Still sticking with your old habit of not using cars huh?" I asked.

" Yeah, I am a hundred times faster than a vehicle, so why do I need one?" He asked.

" I see, you have a point." I replied.

" So what brought you here?" I couldn't help but ask.

" Is it a crime to come see you? But on a serious note, the news of you interfering with the prey of the Alpha's son in the southern territory has spread out like a wildfire throughout the wolf clans. So I came to hear from you myself, you know I hate rumors." He said.

Apart from the fact that John almost looked like me, though he was older and he had larger muscles, we both had similar mindsets. We couldn't stand rumors.

I took a deep breath and said.

" Yes it is true. I did it."

" You know this could start a war between the northern and southern clans right? Alpha Benson is a very arrogant man and he hates it when someone plays with his pride. But I am sure you had a good reason to do what you did.?" John said, patting me on my back. He had always been a supportive brother.

" Yes I had a very good reason. The victim was a Pure Blood and I somehow have feelings for her." I said. John's smile grew bigger. He loved this type of news.

" Woah bro! Have you marked her yet?" He asked.

" Not yet, but soon I will." I replied.

His smile was on his face for a while then it suddenly changed to a serious expression.

" If she is a Pure Blood, then every wolf would love to taste her blood, even if you mark her." He said.

" I know, and I would do anything in my power to save her." I replied.

" Though it will not be an easy task but anytime you need my help, do not hesitate to let me know." He said.

" I won't," I replied.

" I know Alpha Mike will have issues with me claiming a human as my mate, so I will need you to convince him for me." I said.

My cousin gave me a reassuring smile before saying, " you know I got you bro. He is a tough man to crack, but I will give it all I got." His assurance reduced the stress in me. He always knew how to show up at the right moments.

" I was going to grab a beer, wanna come?" I asked.

" Sure, but after that we should head to Wolfrena. I heard the one here is dope and have some cool, powerful fighters." He suggested.

The Wolfrena was an underground fighting arena for wolves. At least one was found in all the four territories of the wolf packs. That is the Northern, Southern, Western and Eastern wolf territories. My cousin was a fighter in the Northern territory, so it was no news he was interested in visiting the Wolfrena of the south.

" Sure let's go," I replied.
