"Move your ass Howard"
My voice boom throughout the training field to one of my warrior who slack behind. He easily gives up and fell hard on his ass.
"You're holding everyone back, fucking move Howard" I yell.
Howard shrug his shoulder before getting up to his feet and push his legs to move.
I see potential in this kid but he doesn't seem to know it. Everyone keeps on running without turning back to him. No one dare to mock him. Yes, I make sure not to let anyone discourage another pack member.
"How's it going?" I look back to find a shirtless Miles with his arms cross in front of his chest. "
As you can see, it's fuck fun-tastic" I snorted sarcastically.
He shook his head and made his way to stand beside me. "Is it the Howard kid again" he said and I nod my head in return. "How did it go with the warriors?" I ask and Miles scrunch up his face.
"Like you said, it's fucking fun-tastic."
We both laugh and suddenly I feel this slight tug on my chest. It's like my wolf is on edge over something and it's making me feel uneasy.
"Dave" I link him but he shut me out immediately.
Feeling agitated I turn around to Miles. "Wrap up our training for today. I am going for a run" I told him.
"Is everything okay?" he ask in concern.
"Yeah, just needed a run" I pat him on the shoulder before walking towards the woods.
"Dane" I hear Shanna, Miles sister is calling me but I ignore her and continue to walk towards the wood.
Once I am in the woods I started to run until I shifted in my big black wolf. My wolf let out a howl. It's weird to hear him howl like this. Like he is in pain. Am I missing something here? I ask myself.
"Dave" I said his name but Dave again ignores me.
He keeps running in full speed. Our wolf paws puddle with mud as he run to an unknown destination. He didn't even stop at our border barricade, Dave just keep going. I know were about to enter another unknown territory. A dangerous territory that most rogues and lone wolf wanders around.
"DAVE" I shouted through our links.
He shift us back to our human form and completely shut off our link again.
"What is wrong with this wolf" I mutter angrily and try to find any clothe stash around here.
"Fuck"
I curse and kick on one of a fallen tree trunk. It didn't hurt as I am not a human. I run my hand through my head repeatedly. Then I went and sat on the tree trunk.
"Please...please" I hear a faint moan.
Scratch that I think someone is calling out for help. I thought to myself as I hear a faint voice say please again. I wanted to ignore it so bad but something was telling me to go save the day. Hating this nagging feeling I turn around and follow the voice.
What I thought was some damsel in distress needing a hero was completely a fa?ade. I spat in disgust when my eyes meet with her exposed back and half ripped dress while riding a man. Who in their right mind would have sex in an opening and on a territory where rogues most likely roam?
The two didn't even notice me. Somehow the female was familiar but because I was disgusted by the sight of them I quickly look away. I scoff and turn around to find the sex idiot's clothes lying on the ground. It's seems the two already sanctify most area of the forsaken territory.
I smirk as an idea pop in my head.
"Fucker" I cuss as I put on his clothes.
Afterwards I started to walk but something stops me. There is no mistake that the necklace lying on the ground belongs to the only woman I love in this world. Melissa is my heart and soul. I love that woman so much. I know she won't do this to me unless.
Many scenarios started to play in my head. I try to shake it away as I bend down to retrieve the necklace. I take a sniff and knew straight away it's hers. I wonder what it is doing here in another land. Don't tell me?
I focus on her scents and that is when it hits me. Her scent is mix up with the rogue smell.
"No" I mutter in denial.
"Baby"
That voice I am hearing right now. The one I am familiar with. How come I never suspected this before? I swirl around to come face to face with the male wolf.
He is standing five meter away from me. His scent gives his identity away. He doesn't belong to any pack and his aura is that of a rogue wolf not a lone one.
He look taken aback. The bastard knew me.
Of course he would after all he is fucking my wife, my mate.
I growl inside my head. No wonder why my wolf was not talking to me. My fist clench on both side of me.
"Baby" I hear that voice again.
Oh moon goddess, please tell me this is a dream. I try not to look hurt even though I am already hurt. It's fucking heart shattering to see someone I give my love and time with betray me in this way.
I have never thought she could do this to me. Never in my entire life had thought will she cross the line. The line I somehow fear and pray to the moon goddess not to let her or I cross it.
She didn't notice me standing right there in front of her lover. Her sweet serenade voice calls out again. I see her standing up from the ground dusting her dress.
Her eyes snaps on me. Finally, she notice that I am here and I just found her cheating on me.
Unlike others who are caught in their act. My fucking wife just smirks at me.
She shot me right in my heart and I just stood there watching her. There was no guilty in those beautiful orbs that I used to admire when making love to her.
"You're here" she said, shooting me twice. My heart bleeds nonstop.
She proudly stands beside her lover and look at me with a happy smile. There, she finally kill me with another bullet.
Why? I keep asking my stupid self.
I should be tearing the bastards apart right in front of her but I wanted to hear her first. I want to know why she is doing this to me. Was I ever good enough for her? Was I not enough? What did I ever fail to give her that she decided to hurt me this way?
"Why?" I ask in a whisper.
She scoff pushing her lover behind her. She proudly stand before him giving me a bored look. "You're seriously asking me that" she said in annoyance.
"You were never a man to me. I mean at first I thought you are the one."
"Then-"
"Gosh, you were nothing like I thought you were" she accused me. "You are just like those wannabe man who lack in relationship and so weak. The sex was good and I thank you for that but you are one weak Alpha I mated. I mean your pack is slowly sinking to the pit of the world. I regret mating with you"
Melissa didn't look sorry at all while saying all those hateful words. I just stood there feeling useless and weak.
I always pity the people who got cheated by their other half but never thought I would be a victim of it one day. She has finally decided to let out her side that I never knew exist. It fucking hurts. I want to cry out but that will only prove her point. I look at the bastard and see him look at me with a smug look.
"You, fucker" I growl and was to reach for him when my mate's words holds me back.
"I, Melissa Woods reject Alpha Dane Maximus Arden as my chosen mate and Alpha."
Something pierce my heart and I fall on my knees helplessly. I wanted to breathe but I fail to do so. She just rejected me right there with no regret. I cough blood on the ground. The pain immensely numb my body.
I should have died before this. I should have gone blind before seeing her betrayal. I should have kill her. I growl and look up to find her smirking at me evilly. "Bye, scum" she spat and after saying it I see rogues coming out from the woods into the open area.
"We just call in a few friends" she chuckle at me.
Forgetting all the pain I howl in agony before I shifted into my wolf form. My anger consume me.
"Fuck you" I growl and block the first rogue's attack.
I bit on its neck and rip off his head before moving to another. They all jump at me at one time and I took them all down one by one repeating the action I did to the rogue before. I didn't even let them touch a single fur of my wolf. Despite the pain from my mate I still fight.
I am an Alpha and I won't go down without a dirty fight with the fuckers. I was busy fighting all my enemies that I didn't even look out for the bastard.
He cowardly attack me from behind, taking me in surprise. He bit on my shoulder and his claw slashing my leg. I howl in pain as I kill off the last rogue.
"Coward" I growl and jump at the coward.
My sharp fangs dig deep in his wolf leg. He cry in pain making me smirk before I kick him and he went flying to the other side. His back hit the tree trunk hard and together it fall down with him. I growl in joy as I ready myself to kill him.
I move in to finish him off but a stab on my abdomen made my wolf let out a painful howl. I suddenly shifted to my human form and fall on my knees.
I look up to see that face again. The angel I used to know. I watch her run to her lover with tears in her eyes. She help him up with concern and care.
She didn't even see if I am wounded. A tear betrays me as I watch her put his arms around her.
"What about him? Is he dead yet" I hear him ask her.
"He will be as the wolvesbane will kill him" she reply to him.
"Let's go take care of your wounds" she said in sobs to him.
Together they walk away without another glance back. Even in the brink of death and feeling betrayed and broken by the woman whom I devoted and vow to be with. I still wanted to see her care for me this once before I died.
"Mel" I call out to her. I still wanted to hear her telling me it's all a nightmare.
My vision blur as I watch them fade in the deep forest. If this is what love does to anyone then I promise myself never to feel for anyone anymore.
No one will ever be worthy of me.
My whole body drop on the ground. I lie on my back with a bitter smile on my face. "This is how the Blood Pack Alpha died" I thought in pain.
However, before I submit to darkness, I saw another angel running over towards me.
She looks like an angel. An angel who is under disguise.
I laugh bitterly and slowly I close my eyes with hopes that I won't wake up from this nightmare.
Rogues...all I am seeing are their red eyes.
Hungry for my blood to be spilt in this forsaken territory.
My eyes darted around me in fear. Seeing all the shifted wolves eyeing me hungrily. They stood so tall with their grey and black furs challenging me to do it or I will face the consequences. Their eyes darken with no humanity shown in it. Three of them hung out their tongues and the other four have that sinister expression. I am lost and I definitely knew one day I will face some idiot's rogues. Avoiding trouble was long overdue and here I am facing them. Today was not a lucky day for me.
The long bath I enjoyed a while ago was disturbed. I guess peace was never in my dictionary in this foreign land that had become my home a month ago. Leaving my pack was not an option. I was banished from the pack that I grew up in. I wanted to tell of my past and the heartbreak I went through but I guess that's another story for next time. My concern and focus now are the rogues before me.
"Do it or we will kill you" one of them warn me. I let out a growl and without another word I turn around and made a dash for my life.
I may be a coward in their eyes but I am too tired to fight and not interested to stay bound to any rogues clan. Yeah, I don't even want to be a kiss ass. My wolf Helena cringe in disgust at the words 'kiss ass.' They chased me but I was too fast to be caught up with.
After a while of running and when I know they lost me, I stop to take a deep breath.
I shifted in my human form and put on my clothes quickly. I look out for any danger before I continue to run without properly looking around my surrounding or on the ground. I stumble on something which made me trip and fall on the ground.
When I thought I am about to kiss the dirty ground my face almost kiss a fine-looking face staring right at me instead. In a second everything stops. My heart beat is the only troubling sound ringing in my ears. My eyes widen staring right in those grey orbs. I could see my messy black straight hair sticking out everywhere and my red cheeks mirroring in those pupils.
His eyes rolls back before it shut, pulling me out of my enthralled. I slightly shook my head and slap on my cheek.
'Helena tell me what was that?' the she-devil didn't reply.
"How can there be a demi-god out here in the woods" I thought to myself as I lean forward to check his pulse.
He is still alive.
I look around and was surprise to see dead bodies of wolves lying around. How come I didn't realize it soon? Right, I was busy drooling that's why. Darn! Not only is he hot but also very strong. How did he take on these many rogues? I look back down at him and assess his wounds. The cut on his side is too deep. I know its wolfsbane.
Lucky he, my wolf blood can heal the wound to prolong his pulse but we still need help.
I force the shift of my wolf without her consent. I then scratch on my other paw and let the blood drip on his deep wound. Afterwards I shifted back to my human form and put on my clothes. I assess his wounds again and see that it's not fully heal. My gaze travel from his wound down to his abdomen to his face which had some scratch on it.
Oh thank you goddess for not letting those vulgar rogues killed him.
His face, beautifully painted. His abs are hard. He is not too muscular but perfectly carved for me only. His lips so deliciously inviting. I shook my head again when I realized my own thoughts.
Stupid, do not even think about it. Yet, I cannot stop me from checking him all over while the poor stranger is lying on the ground. Not to forget he is on the brink of death.
I lick my dry lips thinking of how it would feel to be mold with mine. I lower my gaze to his chest to find it hard and that tattoo running from his arm to his chest makes it all so hot and sexy.
"Oh damn, I think I am tripping" I shook away those sinful thoughts and rip the end of my dress to help clean his wounds with it. I then rip another piece and tie it around his wounds.
"Oh, thank goddess! Gianna Lawson I thought you were going to strip and fuck him," my wolf dramatically exclaimed. "Hahaha...very funny bitch. I am not that desperate" I retorted.
"Yeah, keep telling me lies moron and don't think I don't know that little act you pull" she said before cutting off our link. Ughhh that wolf knows how to touch my nerve and leave afterwards. I look down to the handsome stranger and once again I feel something like a magnet pulling me to him.
My heart beat and my body weirdly wanted to be touched by the almost dead stranger. The wetness between my legs is not helping my case. In simple words I am horny and very attracted to the man lying before me on the ground.
I should be running after helping him but somehow I decided to stay with him. I want to see him before we depart. I didn't want those rogues to kill such handsome brute.
'SLAP'
Again I slap my own cheek to knock some sense in me. How can I be in the right mind when the one I saved look so devilishly handsome and not forgetting this pull I felt towards him? I sigh and pull my legs against my chest.
I don't know how long we stay there. I tug away the piece of cloth on his wound to see if it's heal. A twig snap and I pull away from the stranger to look up in alert.
"What are you doing?" a growl made me stop in fear.
Oh boy, this is not good. I slowly look back and find another male hunk standing there in fury, like he want to bake me in the oven.
I stupidly reply in a stuttering voice and pointed at the demi-god beside me "stri-p-ping him"
What the hell am I saying? I clamp my mouth shut with my hands. Oh goddess help my poor horny mess up life.
Beta Miles
My jaw drop for a second to her reply before it replace again with my anger. How this imbecile rogue can hurt my Alpha. I huff and raised my head high to challenge her. "How can a low life rogue thinks she could get away from this?" I thought as I narrow my eyes at her.
I see fear in her eyes which made my wolf and I smile. She should fear us? After all were the Blood Pack.
Flashback
It wasn't long after I dismissed everyone from the training that I felt the pain. When our Alpha left I add another thirty five minutes of training before dismissing everyone.
The pain I felt was too much to handle and I look around to find our pack members screaming in pain.
"Something's happening to our Alpha" my wolf Harold says as he howl in pain too.
I agree with him because I know our bond with our Alpha is strong and only he can cause this pain. I wanted to run and look for him but the pain was numbing my movements. When the pain is gone I quickly get up on my feet.
"Marc protect the Luna and Pack and sent ten of our top warriors to look for the Alpha. I will go ahead to find him" I link our Gamma before running to where Dane disappear to go for a run this morning. As I run to look for him I pray to the moon goddess to guide me to him. I cannot lose my Alpha and best friend.
Present
I growl at the dainty rogue again and move in to attack her. Seeing me moving in to attack her the female instantly jump to her feet and ready to run.
She stumble and fell down on the ground with her face almost hitting the soil. 'Ouch' my wolf wince and I let out another growl to her. I quickly run to where she lay and flung her up by the arm.
"Ow..ow..ow...that hurts jerk" she winces and try to pull her arm away from him. In fact my hold on her is too tight.
"You are hurting me" she glare at me and struggle to punch me on the face. My wolf laugh at her failed attempts.
"Tsk...tsk...tsk...think you're strong? Try again and I will rip off your arm for real" I seriously told her.
She huff and stop struggling to punch me. 'Good girl' my wolf said in an approving tone. "Why did you hurt my Alpha?" I ask her. Her eyes widen in pure shock. "Al-Alpha. He is an Alpha?" she stutters.
I nod my head in return. "Answer me" I demanded.
"Are you telling me the guy over there is an Alpha?" she ask while pointing to where Dane lies.
Fuck, is this woman crazy or just simply stupid. Didn't she hear me awhile back telling her that the one she tried to strip after harming him is my Alpha? A fucking Alpha for heaven's sake!
"Very well! Since you refused to answer me I will kill you" Her innocent eyes look at me in fear which suddenly it reminded me of my own sister.
Damn! Why am I going soft again with women? Closing my eyes I tell myself that she is not innocent like my little sister. This woman before me is a rogue. Choosing to end her life I ready my claws to kill her when a voice stop me. A voice that I am way too familiar with especially when he is mad.
"Don't kill her. She's mine" he growls.
I let go of the rogue's hand which made her fall and turn to Dane, Oh thank goddess he is alive. Forgetting the woman on the ground I run and hug my best friend, Wait, I remember he said the words 'she's mine.'
What am I missing here? The rogue is definitely not our Luna neither the love of his life. Did Dane lost his memories or perhaps did the filthy rogue cast a spell on him? I try to think and ask all this sort of questions in my head. However, I knew very well the answer is with Dane.
I was to ask when he move me aside and face the woman.
"Mine to kill" he said making the woman freeze on the ground. I move in front of his face and look at him in curiosity.
"Did she take advantage of you?" I ask while assessing my Alpha's for damages. Dane pushed my hands away in annoyance. He try to stand up but wince in pain due to the wound on his side. I help him and when he is stable, he cast a look at the rogue female.
"Did you?" he ask her with reference to my accusation. The rogue female roll her eyes and look at us with disgust. Her attitude suddenly changes which made me stand there in surprise.
"Sure, I did but then will that makes me a woman? Hoi! If you were hot I would but no thanks you are not my type" the rogue snorted. Dane's growl made both of us jump in alert.
"What?" I ask him while holding my beating heart. "Grab, her were going home. I will get my answer from her pretty mouth" he said in demand. I wonder what got in his pants. I forgot to ask him what happened. I will when we get home.
I grab the female by the arm and pull her to stand up. "Pull any funny move and we will kill you right here" I warn her and she complied. Awesome! This seems easy than I thought.
"You know I will tell on you. I can't wait to get home and tell Mel about your sorry ass" I said start to walk out of this unknown territory. Dane let out another growl. His jaw clenched and there is pure hate in his eyes. His fist was balled on his sides. Did I say something wrong or did the rogue did really beat up his ass?
"Fuck her" he curse and start to walk again with the rogue. I quickly catch up on him.
"Are you sure she didn't kick your ass then?" I whisper to him while my eyes glance at the rogue on his other side. Her hands tie up with a rope we found at the area where I found them. Dane doesn't reply.
"Did you?" I ask her instead of our brood Alpha and best friend.
"What if I did?" she answer me in a bored tone. I nod my head in amusement and switch my gaze from her to my broody best friend.
Feisty and very interesting! Oh I am so ready to enjoy my popcorn and cola while watching these two in the front row.
