The Cursed Alpha's Nemesis

The night wasn't pleasant, as the other nights as everyone went to bed early again for the fear of being attacked or seen by the ones who cause fear. They all dreaded an unfortunate encounter with the creatures of the night who causes nothing but fear and panic.

There was no one moving around or outside their houses even though it was still the early hours of eight, except Bethany who sat by the door outside the comfort of her house.

She folded her legs to her chest and her head resting on her knees, sobbing quietly. The cold breeze resting on her skin caused her to shiver, but that was the least of her concern as all she could think of was her baby, inside the locked house.

The man of her dreams had suddenly become the man of her worst nightmare after she gave birth to her baby. He suddenly becames a different person.

Before they got married, a lot of people warned her against marrying him but, she went ahead with the marriage. Her husband had a dark side that she had never prayed to witness. He was a master of manipulation and emotional abuse, making her suffer in ways she never thought possible.

From belittling her in public to controlling her finances. Every day was filled with a new challenge. He even went as far as to threaten her with physical violence. No matter what she did, she was always left feeling broken and defeated.

Her husband had created a living nightmare that she was too powerless to escape. She cried solemnly, her hands and feet were extremely cold.

The Misty mountains, a town known for it existing beast that takes the human form at day and roam about in the night in a wolf form, looking for humans to rip their hearts. This made the town heads bring out laws to stop the disappearance and killing of people by these this beasts.

The first rule is that no one is permitted to stay out as soon as it is dusk. Then secondly, no one is permitted to see the creatures or even have anything to do with them. And the last rule is that no one is permitted to let go of the beast when they see them.

The third rule is the most impossible rule because these beasts are way more powerful than the humans and would kill them instead.

The beasts always come out from the woods at six pm, until the next morning when the sun is about to rise. This made nights to become the people's nightmare.

Bethany heard the bushes rattled and looked towards the woods. She swallowed, as she stood up slowly with her gaze fixed at the woods. Her heart began to throb fast, waiting for whatever would come out of the woods. Maybe the night beast? She caught a glimpse of one of a pair of red orbs glimmering in the night and stumbled away. Luckily for her, the door opened as she leaned towards it. She fell back into her home frightened.

"I opened the door for you, just because of your child." her husband said with a straight face, staring at her with disgust and left the door to go back to writing his report.

She felt warmth in her heart and a sense of relief as she crossed the threshold and found herself in the safety of her home. She ran to her baby and picked him up from his cot to breastfeed him.

Little did Bethany know that the creature she had seen that night was an Alpha of the beasts living among them. He is the most dangerous creature and most feared werewolf among the werewolves.

He was known for his unprecedented attack on people. An alpha without a heart, one as cold as ice, who doesn't have any emotion in him except anger.

....

The werewolves courtyard.......

For more than ten centuries, the werewolves suffered a great curse that had greatly destroyed their lands and made them vulnerable. They were surrounded by enemies who were ready to take over their lands at any chance. Their main enemies are the Nightmares. A group of rogue werewolves.

The nightmares were getting powerful each passing day and this was becoming a cause of worry to the pure-blooded werewolves. The wolves feared that their ruin will come to an end soon without an heir from Jordan.

They tried to talk to him but as always, he wouldn't give a listening ear. This made then decide to have a meeting and know what to do to save themselves from the lurking danger.

"Where is the Alpha?" Bolto, head of the elders council, asked.

Immediately those words left his mouth, the sounds of a dashing horse clamoured. Everyone present in the courtyard, looked towards the entrance as the white horse rode in, with the man who causes chills on everyone skin, riding it. Well, no one enters the courtyard with a horse, but now the alpha of all Alphas. The crazy wolf does everything he wants his own way.

"He is here." One of the alphas said and every werewolves present, stood up to bow to him.

He is young and many of the werewolves present, were older than him, but his authority and capacity was feared among the werewolves. Not even his enemies can withstand him.

Bolto walked closer to him and bowed his head to him. "Greetings to the alpha of all Alphas. We acknowledge your presence in this meeting." he greeted not daring to raise his head up.

The alpha studied everyone's faces and was satisfied with the fear he inflicted on them. He looked at Bolto coldly, causing his feet to go numb. "What is this I am hearing Bolto? You all have the audacity to think of getting a heir when I am still alive?" he asked with a flat voice that sent shivers through their bodies.

No one replied. They weren't ready to lose their heads if they annoy the alpha with their reply. They were all scared to say anything and so the courtyard was as silent as a graveyard. "Answer me!!" he thundered.

Bolto, being the eldest, sighed and raised his head. This is now or never, he thought. He has to tell the alpha about it even though it means losing his life.

"You heard right Alpha," he replied and looked down. "The council has decided to find another heir to the throne of our nation since you have forbidden yourself from getting an offspring." He replied, waiting for what the Alpha would do to him for speaking the truth.

He laughed out menacingly when Bolto said that. Bolto had to move back, as fear suddenly gripped him again. The Alpha is really scary, when he laughs, or when he smiles and mostly when he is angry.

"Thinking about taking my place huh?" Jordan smirked. "Is this your way to take my throne away?"

Bolto quickly went on his knees with his head to the ground. "I apologize, Alpha. We only made that decision because of the prophecy."

"What makes you think I can't have a child?" The Alpha asked, amused.

"I didn't say that, my lord. I am only worried and thinking about the well-being of the purebloods." he denied immediately. He was frightened and was sweaty, because of what the Alpha's next move on him will be.

Jordan climbed down his horse and stood before Bolto who felt suffocated and his world stopped moving.

"And I am that evil Alpha who doesn't care at all about the pure-bloods?" he asked and laughed out loud.

He was being sarcastic as he felt insulted by the words of Bolto. He has a different plan that he couldn't tell them yet and would only be revealed to them at the right time.

"Well, if you all care to know, I have a heir." he said with a deadpanned face.

Loud gasps escapes the lips of everyone as they all turned their gazes to Jordan. He has an heir?

"Bethany.....Bethany....Bethany...." a voice, called her name in a whisper.

It was the middle of the night. Her room was dark and quiet, except the whisper which could be heard.

Bethany tossed her head feeling uncomfortable. However, she couldn't feel anyone's presence around.

The call. The whisper. What are all these?

She jerked her eyes open, and breathed out heavily. It was as though she had been holding her breath. She took in deep breaths and breathed out, trying to steady her heartbeat.

When she was better, her mind wondered to her dream. What was the meaning of that? Who called her? She was locked in an empty dark room in the dream and could only hear her name being called in a whisper. She turned on the dimmed lamp beside her, instantly brightening the room. She shined it to her little baby who was beside her, only to see him staring at her, while sucking his thumb. He cooed and smiled.

That smile created warmth in her heart. She suddenly forgot about her dream and that voice, as she stared at her baby boy. She dropped the lamp beside her and carried him from the bed.

"Oh my baby. How long have you been awake?" she asked and kissed his forehead while he cooed again. "My cutie pie." she looked out the window. "Do you want to see the moon?" she asked and climbed down from the bed, with her baby held carefully in her arms. She wore her slippers and went to the window. She looked at the sky and took in a deep breath.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" she asked and looked at her baby who was staring back at her. "Sebby, do you know you are more beautiful than the sky?" She smiled and kissed his forehead again.

Fourteen months ago, when she found out that she was pregnant, she was so confused and disturbed. It was a drunk night. Her husband came back home, celebrating a new deal he acquired. He brought home a bottle alcoholic wine for the celebration.

Then, he wasn't the way he was. He was all caring towards her, even though they didn't have the best relationship, but he wasn't hurting her so much.

She got drunk and didn't remember anything again. When she woke up, she found herself in the room, naked on the bed. Her husband came in to the room and told her that he had the best night ever. Two weeks later, she found out that she was pregnant. But it all seems weird to her as she couldn't remember what happened and couldn't tell if she lost her virginity or not.

Ever since they got married, her husband never slept with her so why would he do so when she was drunk and couldn't remember anything?

Five months ago when she gave birth to her son, Sebastian, her husband, Edward, changed towards her. He revealed his true self and will always say he hates her. He beats her up whenever he gets drunk and would always insult her.

She wanted to leave, but for the sake of her son who would suffer for her decision she decided to stay back and endure the pain her husband brings to her.

She remembered how much love she and Edward had for each other and the promise he made to her. It was all a lie so he could get married to her. Her marriage become a place of regret and she wished she never got married.

Her family had convinced her to marry Edward because he was rich. She had married him for a platter of gold which she had not enjoyed. Her family are now far away from her since her marriage because she relocated with her husband. She had no one to talk to and no one to run to.

Now, the only person she could call family is the little boy in her arms. She looked at her son and smiled. She wanted to hate him. She wanted to blame the little harmless child for her problem, but she couldn't. Since he was born, things changed. Even during his birth, she thought she would die.

First of all, the complications she had to go through when she was carrying the baby. She was so weak that she couldn't push the baby out and was made to undergo CS to give birth to her baby. Now, she is faced with an unloving husband. Everything became worst for her.

...

The alpha, Jordon, walked through the woods, not in his wolf form. He decided to visit again in his human form. He just wanted to see his kid again to make sure he is still safe with it human family.

He told the elders that he had a son, but they all did not believe him. Well, he does not care. Why should he when he has other things to think of rather than the feelings and conclusion of the werewolves?

Well, it's also not their fault that they didn't believe him. He is Jordon, the alpha of all alphas. The king of the werewolves who is like a god to them. A wolf known for his coldness. He is without a heart and like a ball of ice because of his coldness. No one will believe someone like him will ever follow a she-wolf. He is not a gay so that isn't an option. He doesn't believe in love neither have he fallen in love. Then, how would a wolf like him get a mate to give him a son as he said he had?

He smirked at their foolishness, and stood a distance away from the house where his son was. He could perceive his son's scent. Delicate, sweet and that gave him the sense of power. Behind that sweet scent, he could also perceive the scent of darkness. He looked towards the window of the building and saw a woman carrying a baby. His little boy. They were both looking at moon.

He was only interested in the baby and never focused on the woman who had given birth to the baby. That baby of his, will be the one to take over from him. He already wrote down the future of that kid.

Bethany smiled but when she sensed a presence, the smile disappeared. She looked down and saw a shadow. Her heartbeat increased faster as she tried to see who it was, standing in the woods.

Baby Sebby looked towards the woods too and cooed. His eyes met with the dark man in the forest. The dark man's eyes was red and suddenly, Sebby's eyes turned red too.

"S..Sebastian," Bethany called as her heart threatened to stop beating.

Bethany raised a brow and placed her hand on her chest and the other hand held on to her son. It all happened in a flash or could it be her imagination? She saw his eyes red. No, why would her baby's eyes turn red?

Maybe a light just reflected in his eyes. That would be the only reason.

She stepped back and shut the window, which only made Sebby wail.

"Baby, what is it?" she asked softly and went to seat down, Patting him gently but he wasn't ready to stop.

After some time, she was finally able to make him sleep and gently laid him on the bed to sleep to. Her husband, Edward have been sleeping in his room and so it was just her and her baby.

She closed her eyes and slowly drifted into the land of dreams.

...

The next morning.....

Bethany made sure to wake up early and prepared breakfast for her husband who would be leaving for a meeting that morning. He was getting ready in his room so she used that opportunity to prepare his meal.

Sebby was still asleep and she prayed silently that he wouldn't wake up any time soon. That will only make her slow and unable to finish up in the kitchen.

She rushed out of the kitchen when she heard footsteps, heading for the door.

"Are you leaving already? I prepared breakfast." she said.

Edward looked at her and shook his head. He has to be at the winepress or his boss will chop off his head.

"I don't need your breakfast," he replied staring at her as if irritated by her presence.

She swallowed hard and looked down. "It's going to be a long day at the company, why don't you eat first before leaving?" It's pointless but she decided to try to make him have his breakfast before he leaves.

"I said I am not eating." he said, raising his voice. "Do away with that trash you call a meal." he spat and walked away angrily. "What did I do wrong this time?" She thought in confusion.

Immediately he closed the door behind him, Bethany sat on the closest chair to her and allowed her tears to freely flow down her cheeks. "What did I do to deserve all these? Is this really love?"

Edward entered his old car and drove to the winepress where he works as the vice-chairman. He started off as a mere worker, who works in the factory but after a deal he was able to pull successfully, he was promoted by his young boss.

He pulled over and came out of his car. He took in a deep breath and let it out before he proceeded to his office.

"Sir, the president request for your presence in his office immediately." the secretary said immediately he entered his office.

"Mr. Power is in his office?"

That's strange. His boss is in his office. He hardly visits the office except he feels like it so he leaves the works for Edward.

He is really lazy and hates doing any work but he is really good at producing wine and that's why the factory produces the best wine in the world.

People wonder why a company as big and wealthy as the winepress will be located in the misty mountain town? According to the reports, his family lives in the city and have a comfortable life but he chose to stay in an ordinary village.

He left his office hurriedly, to go to Mr. Power's office as he was informed. He got to his office and stood outside the door, trying to calm his beating heart. He must have done something for him to be invited to the boss's office.

What has he done this time around?

He adjusted his tie and suit and after taking in a deep breath and releasing it out, he knocked on the door.

"Come in." The husky voice of his boss, called him in.

He swallowed the lumps gathered in his throat and went in. He locked the door behind him and bowed his head.

"You called for me, sir?" he asked with his head still bowed.

His boss, who was back facing him, leisurely took a sip of his coffee and scrunch his nose. "This tastes horrible. What kind of coffee is this?" he asked.

Edward raised his head a little and saw the pack of coffee on the desk.

"That is the red coffee. Heard it is really good for the heart."

"Hmm." Mr. power said and faced him, revealing his face which Edward had seen so many times. "Then take it away from here. I hate it and never show it to my face again." he said.

Edward hurriedly walked to the desk to pick it, but then, his boss held his hand. "What do you think you are doing?" he asked in a low but power filled voice.

Edward fearfully moved a bit but couldn't go any further. "Please boss, have mercy. I only wanted to take out the coffee as you instructed."

The boss smirked. "No, I am talking about Bethany. What were you thinking when you sent her out at that ungodly hour? The boss said, staring at him menacingly.

"Please forgive me boss. I never meant to throw her out. I allowed my anger to take control of my thinking."

Jordan locked his fingers round his neck and his eyes turned red as he fumed in rage.

"What if she had been harmed after being thrown out? What would have happened to my child if he was all alone without his mother?" he asked and tightened his grip, making Edward's face turn red as he struggled to breathe.

"Have....... mercy...." he forced out those words.

"I will have to kill you now!!" he thundered and his office shook due to the impact caused by his power filled voice.

The door opened and a shocked Bethany walked in. "Edward?" she called softly.
