Chapter 3 I think I found her

The elderly believed that a fair judgement should be passed. At the edge, some of them knew how Alpha Griffin ruled with iron fist. He wouldn't think twice before giving everyone what they deserved and put them in their places.

He was confident and wouldn't hesitated before saying no to what he didn't like. A few of elders agreed with him while others did not, they hated the fact that he was dominated over them. What would be their fate if he found his mate? What if she was also a dominant female of their pack?

Those were the questions that perturbed them. Griffin Whitefield, one of the youngest Alpha. Right from the birth he was born to rule. He was the only one that could take power over the elders. The full moon power. He possessed special abilities other werewolves didn't. The empathy ability has progressed to telepathy, ability to communicate without using words or any signal. He had the ability to hear the thoughts of others. When it was full moon, he could control his wolf form. Those were the qualities of true Alpha.

They parent had brought him up to be great and follow Alpha's rules. He had duties and responsibilities. He didn't had to kill before they could call him overlord, it was how you rule with justice. And because of this, all the bad doers feared him.

"He's coming." A man announced to informed others. The noises subsided and everyone glanced at each other before gazing at the door. He walked in the most sacrosanct courtroom. Whatever he said would be final. His words were laws.

The other elders stood up and bowed to show him respect. It wasn't his figure they respected but the power and authorities he possessed.

"Please have your seats everyone." A guard was about to draw the chair for him but he stopped him with a hand signal. He preferred to stand. Lawrence took his seat next to his seat.

"As you all know that the defendant is guilty why did you call for the meeting?" He directed the question to Darklona's Alpha, Holmes.

"Blake didn't wiped out the whole pack, there are some survivals from the Pack house. If you don't mind, I can present them to you as my witness."

"It is a minor case. He didn't really have to kill anyone for what they did."

"They are betrayals. Alpha Griffin, please try to understand what we elders are trying to say." Holmes protested.

"They kill the werewolf because he tries to steal from them. So what they do isn't worth killing the whole pack!" He snapped with his voice full of authority. "It could be any of your pack. The defendant is from Blake's pack why can't he training his pack? He also fails as a leader of his pack. Anyway, you should set the survivals free and Blake shall be punished for what he did according to the law. That's all I have to say and if anyone has a complain, speak up before I change my mind." The elders murmured to each other. None of them could say a word, including his uncle that hadn't uttered a word ever since he stepped in.

Edward cleared his throat from his seat. He stood up to say something. He was the first youngest among the Alphas.

"I don't have anything to say about the current matter. Since Blake killed their Alpha, why don't we take the pack members in. They might later misbehaving and cause choas in their pack house which might later affect other packs."

"I'll see to that but that's not a colloquy of today. We will discuss the matter tomorrow, I adjourn the meeting." He ordered solemnly. That was how the meeting ended.

He was on the walkway with Lawrence when a call interrupted their conversation.

"Who is calling?"

"Who else? It's Roseline. She get into trouble and wants me to come over."

"Did she still think you're her mate?" Lawrence inquired.

"Literally. That is why I need to find my mate. "

"Why don't you just go to the city since your mate isn't from the packs houses. Perhaps your mate is human?" It sounded more like question to Griffin. He stopped to look at him.

"Did I hear you asking me that?" Asked Griffin unbelievably.

"It's only my imagination. I'm sorry."

"It's nothing to be sorry about." He said and smiled at him.

Lawrence lowered in eyes as he sighed. He thought he had gotten him angry or abused him in anyway when he wore a solemn look.

"You don't really have to act that way. I had to ask myself if I have offend you or abuse you." Griffin smile grew bigger.

"That is why I'm smiling. You're my cousin so why should I get sulky over a joke."

"The way you talk in there, I can't imagine getting on your wrong side."

"And you shouldn't. "

They took the next exit door out of the hall. "Are you going somewhere?"

"Nope." Lawrence shook his head.

"Come with me. I'm going to the city. Roseline had an accident and she told me the injury is quite severe."

'I don't know why he cares so much about her when he knows she is never his mate.' Lawrence thought while looking at Griffin.

"I have to be there for her at least as a friend." He replied to Lawrence's silly thought.

Lawrence resisted the urge of rolling his eyes at him. "I knew you would do that."

"Get in the car. She wants me to come over and check her at the hospital." Griffin got in the driver's seat while Lawrence hopped in the passenger seat.

GRIFFIN DROVE INTO the parking lot. It took them hours to reach the big city in California. Apparently, the city was mostly alike like the one in the pack house. They also lived like other humans.

They concealed their wolf scents. Griffin had to conceal his aura whenever he wasn't in the pack house.

"Do you know the way around?"

"Of course. Follow me." Lawrence led the way in the hospital. It wasn't his first time coming to human city.

They stopped by the ward entrance. Lawrence peeked in before opening the door. When Roseline saw Griffin, her face lit up a smile. She stepped down from the bed and rushed toward him.

"I thought you won't come." She mumbled.

"Are you all right?"

"Someone finds out who I am and he tries to kill me. That motherfuker stabs me but luckily it isn't a silver knife." She divulged quietly.

"Is he human?"

"Nope. He's a vampire." Roseline mumbled to him.

"You need to be more careful."

"I know. Unfortunately the knife is poisoned by him. That is why it takes my wound much time to heal."

"You should come back home."

"No, here is much more fun. I make a lot of friends, should I throw them away like that?" Roseline always acted innocently whenever Griffin was around.

"I need to be somewhere else. We will meet in the pack house if you change your mind." He wouldn't waste much time talking to her. Roseline could delay him and make him stay with her.

Roseline nodded. Seeing Griffin alone had ease the pain she was feeling. She wouldn't tell him the truth until she figured how to win Griffin over.

Griffin and Lawrence exited the ward while heading out.

"She is such a troublesome werewolf."

"Yeah I know. I only come here because she says on phone that someone is planning to kill her. I'm curious but I can't stay back. "

"You are curious or you want to convince her to go with you?"

"I'm curious..."

'Look behind you Griffin.' His wolf interrupted their conversation. His wolf rarely did that unless it has something important to tell him.

'Turn around.' He understood his wolf feeling. He abruptly turned around, looking at the back of the lady walking out of the hospital. He could only see her auburn hair not her face as she exited the door.

"Just a moment." He told Lawrence. He walked after her hurriedly. By the time he reached outside, she was driving away.

"Griffin." Lawrence called out as he stood behind him. Griffin looked back perplexingly.

"I think I found her." He said still looking at the moving car.

"Who?" Lawrence enquired.

"My mate." He uttered with a prick of confusion.

'The connection isn't strong so I'm not sure she notice us.' His wolf said to him.

"Your mate?" Lawrence lifted a brow.

Griffin nodded.
