Chasing The Alpha

"And on this day forward, we are happy to announce, Sebastian El Venuel as the youngest Alpha on this wolvendom!"

Hundreds of applause were heard covering the whole ground. It is a day that is worth remembering. For I, the eldest child and the only son of my father who is the alpha of our pack is now bestowed a ranking as a wolf who will soon follow his steps.

My father, Reid El Venuel is a great person. He guarded and handle this whole pack to its peak. With a great sense of justice, strong, and intelligent features... He is classified as the best Alpha who ever rule in our pack. As for me, I humbly say that I walk after him. He is my role model. The person whom I look up to with great admiration and respect.

The alpha is the leader of the pack, they try their best to keep up with what's going on within the pack. They see each of the pack members as family and make important decisions that reflect the growth and welfare of the pack. The alpha creates the rules for the pack and makes sure they are properly enforced and yes, I am the son of an Alpha.

"Sebastian El Venuel,"

My name was called for the second time, I bow my head and kneel before them. This is the last ceremony for me to do to be treated as the next in line of the title of the alpha.

"You have accomplished various achievements at such a young age. What you have shown was truly honorable. As my son, you never fail me. With this, I can pass my title anytime with no worries for I know that they will be in the hands of a good ruler"

A liquid thing was placed on my forehead as my eyes were shut close. There is a sense of happiness covering my whole body.

A small smile trails on my lips. This is the very first timely father complimented me. He will constantly shout and glare at me to push me to do my utmost best efforts in doing everything that is obligated for me to do. I never know that he did think of me as that

"LARGA VIDA A LOS LOBOS"

"LARGA VIDA A LOS LOBOS!!"

I can't help but be filled with pleasure as everything around me feels delighted. Some foods and drinks are served to have a simple celebration.

"Sebastian, congratulations "

"Evan, thank you"

Evan greeted me. He is the son of a Beta general. We've been friends for quite a time. After all, he was the only person who would be willing to play with me when we were little. My father is truly scary even if he is admired and respected by people.

The Beta is Second in command. They are thought of as less important than the Alpha and Luna, but more important than the rest of the pack. Even so, Betas also have ranked and as for Evan's father, if I remembered it correctly, he is the 2nd.

"It is such a thing that Tyler is not around. I am sure he does feel dejected for not seeing you receive such blessing"

"Ah, now that you've mentions it, where is Tyler?"

Tyler is also a son of a Beta general who is handling some sentinels in the north. He was a bit younger than us and he is the cousin of Evan. I almost forgot about him, maybe I should just keep that, or else that kid will surely cry.

"He was with his father. Tyler was a sentinel for some time"

"That is good for him, he has been wanting to be one before... Right?"

Sentinels are those wolves who ensure that the pack is safe by patrolling the territory and watching the movements of the surroundings. They are to make sure that no intruders enter the clearing. That is to say, by now... maybe Tyler is having some patrol.

"Yeah, but surely he will cry with snot on his nose"

Evan giggled as he tried to tease Tyler who is not around.

"and who did you state as someone who is crying with snot on his nose?"

That familiar voice was heard coming in our direction. Indeed, it is Tyler.

"Good thing you made it"

"Yeah, my father needs to tell some things to the Alpha"

"You mean Sebastian?"

"Idiot, Mr. Reid, Sebastian's father"

"Yeah"

"My father? And... Is it about the patrolling?"

"Yes but I think it would be good if it is my father to tell it. I would be dead if I leak it to others"

He started as if he is hiding something. Did... Weird things happened out there?

"Then tell it to us, I'll make sure to give you proper burial"

His cousin stated as he tried to tease him. Even so, he talkback with worried eyes.

"Evan, why not I tell uncle that you failed to complete his regimens yesterday?"

Evan was now completely speechless.

"By the way! Still looking great as always~ not unlike this certain someone wasting his appearance"

Evan let out a scowl as Tyler movk him. He can't deny it since he never care about his appearance in the first place. Well, not unless Lea is around.

"Congratulations Sebastian. That was amazing!" He semi shout while slightly hitting me. He then immediately stand straight as if he is some good army.

What a big change of attitude. What's gotten into him?

"Forgive my rudeness, sir!"

He started as he now his head. Looking behind me, now I can tell why even this Evan who was supposed to answer back to Tyler didn't even say a word.

"Sebastian"

That tone and voice confirmed my thoughts. It was my father.

***

"A sight of rogue entered our wolvendom. He is somehow related to the one that the other pack have been alarming us to be wary of "

"How did he even manage to enter our wolvendom when the security is high and top tier?"

"He is no simple guy. Having a name as Tyrant Alpha, he is an existence that we can never kill. It would be a bloodbath if it happens"

"Are you truly sure that it was him?"

"No, my people didn't fully see his face and features. The only thing that can identify him is his red fur cloak."

"If that was it, there is no need to be that alarmed. Thinking that the existence and identity of that person is not yet exposed, talking to him would be good enough"

" I agree with his opinion. We must first ask nicely to prevent problems to occur. Having friends than for is hundred times better"

"Assuming that it is truly that tyrant-"

" Let's not assume things. Name a person you'd want to talk with that person and I think that it be settled"

"A person to talk to him?"

"Yes, by that, If you would all let me say my thoughts... I have someone on my mind"

"Aren't you telling your thoughts already? Don't beat around the bushes we have lots of time to lose. Tell us... Who?"

"Sebastian"

A rogue is in our borders? This was such a new thing since every rogue never dare enter our grounds. They are afraid to do so.

"To think that they would ask you to be on the lead with the troupe that will be sent to that rogue... aren't they belittling you?"

Leon started mumbling as if he was trying to encourage me be mad. Honestly, doesn't he have some important matters to attend to? Then why is he here in my backyard? Is he even permitted to do so?

Hah, never mind that. I'll just stay silent and continue

"Shut up Leon, that ain't belittling him"

"And what it is that you know about that huh? Evan? Evan Landerson~"

It was Leon who tried to make fun of Evan. The two of them have never been at a good pace. Ha, that is just the way they are. But to think that Evan and Lea are fated with each other, there is no doubt that Leon will find Evan annoying. I somehow chuckled as I saw the two quarrel.

"Onni-"

Lea didn't continue her words as he saw how his brother and his lover are fighting with each other.

"You know what? I'm done with the both of you" she muttered as she landed her gaze in my direction.

"Heya"

She greeted me with her timid smile. I bet she also heard about the announcement that is stated a while ago. Truly, even I find it surprising. Not to mention that it was my first ever mission after being entitled as someone that is next in line with the highest ranking and our wolvendom.

"I heard about the news... I mean I... hart it when the elders say that from a while ago... umm I don't know what to say but... do your best! We will be cheering in the back for you"

I let out a small smile. "Thank you, Lea"

She is truly a nice child. Hah, how funny of me to think she is but a child when she is already at the fine age for marriage. I unconsciously pat her head as my brother's instinct kick on me. She is the same age as my little sister. Maybe that is also why I feel like she is like a younger sister to me.

"Hey Sebastian, that's my younger sister. You have your own don't touch her with that filthy hand"

Evan let out a laughing voice as he can't help but think how Leon act like a weird siscon.

"What?"

He stated with a glaring voice.

Maybe this kind of atmosphere is nice too. After all, tomorrow, when the sun finally rises...

My mission will then take off.

***

"Show yourself before us" I speak with great confidence as we face the entrance of a cave that is inside our borders. Even if my voice can hear covering the whole place, no person dared to reply to me.

I look at my back only to see the troops that are waiting on my command. As much as I wanted to, I don't dare start any commotion that may give a horrible backlash towards us. It is not that I am saying... that the troops that are with me today are those who are lack power. As of now... each and every move or action that I take is going to be watched by many eyes and they're waiting for me to do something let me take back my title is the next line today the ranking of an alpha.

I am sure that some would dare shake my title as the heir of the alpha ranking.

"It seems like you don't want to talk, show yourself before we use our forces to make you out of that place"

I'm not sure about the reason why he is here but the only thing that I should think about is that this first mission of mine shouldn't be a failure.

Looking at those people that are with me, I can't help but be alarmed. They must be thinking that I am all talk and no move. Even tho I've already proven myself ever since.

Hah. Let's not mind their questioning gazes. I let my sight fall in the direction of the cave. I can sense it. There is a faint scent of being that is inside. But... there is a stinky smell also that keeps on covering the surrounding of the inside.

I must be cautious. We do not know what are those inside this...

"I will head inside first. Guard the surrounding sand make sure that no one will every day get out of these boundaries. Is it clear?

"

"Sir yes sir

"

All the troops that are under my command do just what I said. In this cave, it was dark and I can say that without the traits I have as a wolf I cannot see what is inside.

Making my senses much higher, I can then confirm to say that there is indeed a person that is hiding inside this place. It is odd since

the surrounding seems to be covered with miasma. What is that thing that makes this kind of smell? It makes me wanna vomit.

I focus my thoughts as I tried to be on guard. Anytime, that person can show itself. I walk to the deeper part of the cave and every step I take makes a sound that can be easily heard by those who are present before me. I can say that this is annoying since I can't hide myself.

Even so, what is the point of hiding if from the very start I let him know my existence? The smell keeps on getting stronger. I wince in dissatisfaction as I feel like my nose is burning.

Cough

I can't handle it, his smell-

...

I halt for a second. What was that just now? is it just my imagination or is there a unique smell I sniff?

I saw a silhouette of a man that is sitting on a big round stone as I tried to use my eye senses making me have a somehow night vision. That is also one of the skills that we pure-blooded wolves have. And as for me, I have higher skills than any ordinary wolves for I am but the son of the alpha and luna.

The figure didn't move for some while. I would think it is a statue if I didn't hear his breathing.

"We ask for nothing but peace. Ask anything that you want and we will grant it, even so, after that... We shall never see your face again"

I declared. I know for sure that he wanted something in our place. Even so, if that is something so senseless and out of the bucket then there is no way in this universe I would grant it.

Surely, this place of our pack is better than any other pack but we can't be guaranteed to offer him anything he wanted. I said those but surely he would understand that there is still limitation about it. Right?

"You said anything that I want?..."

I then saw him moving from his seat. Standing up and slowly walked as his steps echoed in my ear. I finally saw a glimpse of his face as the light came from the shaft. The light from the outside of the cave had reflections making it seems like the inside part have small lighting.

I gulp. Why does this man feel odd? He is surely trying to make an intimidating aura but there is something weird in him that I can't explain.

The only thing I heard is these...

"Alright then... I'm bringing you with me"

And he then threw something on the ground as he grab my arm. With that, I feel like we fall into the abyss of darkness.

' That is the gift that is given to me by your dear grandmother when he was a little boy'

I can hear the voice of my grandfather as he talks to me. But... he's been dead for over years already. How come... he is still talking to me?

Bet... this is a dream. Is it?

'It says that... this thing can help an alpha not be intimidated by the scent giving off by an Omega and a fated pair that is going on heat'

He stated as he show me that artifact that he is holding.

' If it is owned by my grandfather and is given to you by ny grandmother... then why is grandpa giving this to me?'

I asked with a curious voice as my grandfather just replied with a short smile after explaining why he's handing me over that artifact that was on his hand.

'It is indeed owned by me and is given by your grandmother but... Let me tell you a secret. When you were still young, she have been thinking that you would be a good alpha. She come talking and boasting to all of her friends that you will be someone that every wolves will look up'

There is a faint sadness on his smile. I can see it in his eyes that is yearning for his beloved wife.

'And for me, she's not wrong... she's never been wrong. Thinking about that things you have accomplish... such achievements even when you were just a little. I know that you were aware of the fact about Omega, about fated pair, and about heat of a wolf.'

I slightly nodded my head in response as I stated to my grandfather that I know things such as those. I am at the right age to know such matters since that was taught to us when we are in the school.

Indeed, our place is so big that you can say that it is complete in any establishment that you needed. Compared to the other pack I can say that our wolvendom is a place that is worth to live at. Maybe that is also the reason why many people can be seen wandering around our village thinking that they would have a chance in entering in our boundaries.

And Alpha is someone who is bound to be the leader. Omega are those who wolf that can bear child or little cubs. Many people think that Omega is far inferior than any other rankings for even if you are a male, if you are an omega you can still bear a child. Heat is something that came every once in awhile. It is a circumstance on where a wolf is not on his right state of mind and will act on instinct alone.

Truly, that idea is something that is far more surprising for us youngsters who just know such matters. It is not that I am saying that it is that vulgar but then I can say that those informations is far more difficult to understand with our young minds. Some treat with something that is merely a unnecessary things to learn but then as he grew up I know the importance of the artifact that my grandmother given to me.

Being innocent and idiot are two different things. It is better to know it than know nothing. Another case of incident occur in our school as a Omega releases scent that can easily shaken the thinking of any other wolf that would sniff at it.

I never once knew that I would encounter such thing because they say that once you smell that scent, you will run out of your state of mind. That thing is trully... horrible. That is also why some of us are paired at the young age. Once we saw our fated pair, the omega will no longer hinder everyone due to their scent.

I never once had any interaction with that scent all thanks to this artifacts. Or so i thought.

A scent that is strong enough to make me smell it come eroding in my nose as if it is lurking me towards that direction. As I walk without me even noticing it, I lead my steps inside a room. I can say that it is becoming more and more hard for me to resist it.

What is that kind of smell that even with this kind of artifact I can still smell how sweet it tastes?

I look at my hand only to see that bangle with broken glasses.

Ah shit, the artifact gets broke. Maybe that is why...

My thinking become uncertain as a large pile of sweet aroma enter my nose. Biting my lips, I can sense that there is something changing on my body.

It makes me want to devore it. It makes me want to eat it all and make it all for myself..

I punch myself after realizing what I am thinking. This isn't me to think this way. Even with many people that is surrounding me, even if there are many omegas that is giving off their scent, even if there are countless lunas that are serving in front of me, and even if a lot of warriors sent to work for me... to me there is no other way that those things can make me this turn on.

With the findings of my parents stated that I'm someone that has fated pair but compared to other normal fated pair, they conclude that in my case, it is a match made in the divinity from the above. Haing a fated pair that is like that is something that is a blessing and a curse.

If you were someone who had a fated pair as that, it is easy for you to love that pair and that love will never shatter even if it means DEATH

If you have someone who is a fated pair, your long life partner is guaranteed but even so... if you didn't met, your fated pair you will forever be alone

if you didn't meet your fated pair your life wouldn't be complete and only suffering will come before you

Some wolves tried to deny that fact but in the end they just fall in the abyss.

Only if the fated pair connect will give each other a happiness that can give you a flutter in your heart. You can never deny them because your soul, your body, and your whole existence will already recognize that person as someone that is the missing piece in the puzzle off your life

Closing my eyes so I can feel and I can smell the scent that is getting stronger,

I can no longer have any reasoning at me for that scent seems to be calling me

I walk further and my eyes wide open revealing how my eyes color suddenly change. On my lips you can see a small tray of saliva falling down is if I am a hungry cub that is needing food to fill this hunger I am feeling.

Indeed I can't deny the fact that I am hungry...but not for a meal or food.

I'm getting more greedy...

Without wanting to head inside... my feet work as if they have a mind themselves. The doorknob finally burst open with the cracking sound telling that it it was wrecked

I called as I feel that the scent that I'm smelling just now turn to be stronger than it is a while ago.

Even with this kind of artifact, I still can't resist this smell. That artifact won't break with just a mere force.. how the hell did that... break?

Surely I wouldn't even have a chance to think and have a rationale

My senses are soon fading and so right before my eyes is an image of a person curled like a fur ball that is on the center of the his big bed.

I can say how my face turned poker as I can't think of any action I may do. The only thing I know is that my mind was overwhelmed. The only thing that keep on circulating on my thoughts is that,

I want him.

I want to breed him. Make him mine. This person is mine. It belong to me... me alone...

Only mine...
