All Chapters of The Predator: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I've always dreamed of joining a pack. A warm house, clothes, food, and people who care about you… It's everything a rogue could dream of. We've tried our best to join different packs in the past but all they did was shoo us away like some dogs. Today, I'm in a pack ground, sitting in a chair in front of their alpha and luna. If this had happened in the past, I would've done everything to make them believe that we're harmless. But this time, I couldn't even utter a word. I was covered in dirt. My clothes were ragged and I'm sure I smelled horrible too. I don't know… I've gotten used to the smell. I was dehydrated and hungry. My eyes were lifeless and all I could muster up to do was look to the side to make sure my mother was alright. She had her head down, staring at the ground. Her body slumped on the chair like a rag doll. If her frail body wasn't moving every time she tried to breathe, I would've panicked thinking she left me too. I heard footsteps coming closer. A sweet scent

"So is there anyone who wants to go to the darkwood pack?" The alpha asked again.Everyone was silent.I looked down at my feet. I don't want to go. I know how much he tortured people just for being rogues. I've heard so much about it. But….. he lived even after his mate died…I want to know how he did that. What did he do? Maybe if I go there, I could find out. It seems to be the only way to save my mother. I don't want her to die.Whatever Alpha Cassian did, I want to find it out so I can save my mother. I slowly raised my hand, causing hushed whispers to arise in the room. I turned towards my mom to see her looking at me with panicked eyes. I gave her a small smile to assure her that everything is going to be alright.The alpha raised a brow. "Are you sure?" He asked."We'll be safe, right?" It was the Luna who replied to me. "Yes, of course. We guarantee that." She said before stepping forward.I smiled. "Then we'll go,""Alright, any others who are joining her and her mother?

"Mom, are you scared?" I looked at my mom. She was staring out into the woods from our window.She was silent for a minute before she spoke up. "I'm worried," I heard her let out a sigh. "I'm worried about what would happen to you when I'm gone," "Mom…" I closed my eyes. "You're not going anywhere," "We both know that's not the truth, Ivy,""I'm going to find a way. If Alpha Cassian could live, then you could too.""Is that why you decided to join this pack?" My mother turned to me. I stayed silent, causing her to let out a frustrated sigh. "Ivy, you're going to be eighteen soon. You need a pack to protect you and I think the dark wood pack could do that. Alpha Cassian seems strict but I think there's nowhere else safer than under his wings. He'll protect you and if you're lucky, you'll meet your mate. I want you to live comfortably and live a life your father and I couldn't give you. I want you to be happy. Stop worrying about me," "Stop talking like you're going to leave me," I

I could feel the intense gaze of everyone in the room on us as my mom and I sat down on the chairs. Alpha Cassian sat opposite to us and watched us with a stoic face. There were more people in the room than I thought there would be. It just made me more nervous. Everyone from the shadow pack and some people from the darkwood pack were in the room and they stood silently behind the predator.Luna Evelyn's presence did help to ease my beating heart a little bit. I was grateful that she was present. My attention fell back on the predator when he decided to lean forward and put his elbows on the table between us."Tell me your full names," He demanded. I gulped and nodded. "Ivy Elsher," I introduced myself. "and this is my mother Isabella Elsher." I looked at my mom.I saw Alpha Cassian frown for a moment before his face returned back to his usual stoic expression. "Hmm…" He hummed and scribbled something on the paper in front of him before looking straight into my eyes. "How old are y

Cassian's POVI couldn't feel her tremble as I hovered over her. Her pheromones slowly turned sour."Y-You have no right to insult him! You don't even know him!" She stuttered out.This kid amused me. I've seen others literally piss in their pants in my presence. None of the rogues has dared to speak up against me. Ever. So where did she get the guts from?Have I been too soft on her?"Listen, kid," I gritted out, releasing my alpha pheromones to force her into submission. I saw her take in a shaky breath as her hands searched for something to hold. I'm sure her knees are weak. They should be. She should submit. "I've been too kind to you and your mother. If you try to get too cocky with me, I'll throw you out in the blink of an eye. Got it?" I asked.She didn't reply. Her eyes were cast down, face tilted to the side as she exposed her neck in front of me. Her knuckles were white from gripping the clothes too tight and her pheromones were turning too sour.It irked me.My wolf was res
