Jordans memories were still foggy about everything if he was to be frantically honest.
He remembered being thrown like a rag doll across the forest and not healing immediately.
He remembered Briar.... Bleeding...
He remembered him crawling from the open to find somewhere he could die in peace.
And he remembered the darkness....
Until he woke up again.
On a bed, under a tent with bandages around his lower torso, hands, forehead and eye, everything aching around him.
He never really got the chance to even leave the tent and find out where he was, but he saw the shadows of people moving back and forth and someone always came into the tent to leave food for him.
And that happened for at least a week until the female that always came with the food said that their Alpha would be arriving shortly.
The male was tall, built and all of that, wearing leather coats and a mask over his face with long black hair and bright gold eyes.
"You're not an Alpha, you're a Beta" Jordan had said at the sight.
The man said nothing, staring at Jordan for a while before saying "Do you still hurt?"
His voice was deep, regal, even.
"You're the one that saved me right?" Jordan asked "I didn't ask for this. I do not want to be alive"
"Then by all means walk out of this place and go die somewhere else" The man said "Even though I deem you worthy of my plans, I will not take a weakling and coward into my ranks"
That angered Jordan, as the man knew it would "I am not a coward"
"Says the man that tried killing his cousin and ended up killing his wife" The masked man replied "But I'm not judging. How dare I do that anyway? I have killed thousands the same, and I won't hesitate to kill another, like that Axel for instance"
Jordan stilled "How do you...."
"I have spies everywhere, give me some credit" The man replied "And I can tell you right now that those two are happy right now. Your cousin and that male that seemed to foil all your plans with his arrival, and here I am, trying to redeem your past glory, and you prefer death still? Humour me Jordan"
"Why would you want to help me?" Jordan asked.
"Because I hate the Royal family to be honest" The man replied with a shrug "It just seems terribly unfair that someone should rule over everyone because what? They have a higher possible blood like, and I want the Deiraluna as well"
Jordan felt his fangs growing before he could stop it "If you think that I will....."
"Oh don't give that bullshit loyalty now" The male replied "We both know you don't care about that plant. You just want to be the Alpha you were destined to be, until Fate cruelly snatched everything from you. All I am asking, is for you to tell and show me where that plant is, and I will lead my army to their Pack and hand it over to you"
"And what if I don't want to be Alpha?"
The man laughed.
His laugh bellowed deep as he held unto the chair in the tent, Jordan still glaring at him as he said "You must have hit your head very hard then. If you need it beaten into you, I'd make you remember how much you want to be Alpha. You have already lost everything Jordan, your family, Briar.... Your unborn child"
Jordan felt himself go pale "She... She was...."
He nodded "Oh yes, a month or so, but she risked all this for a girl that did not deserve it. A girl that has probably left you Mate less for life. I am a very fair person Jordan, heartless, but fair, and I know how hard it must be for you. I can assure you the seat of being an Aloha Jordan for I do not want that, no, I just need your alliance to where the Deiraluna is"
"And if there is going to be a war...."
"My people would be have the upper hand. They have been preparing for this day for years Jordan"
"And cause casualties. Crescent Pack does not already have enough members as it is"
"You gotta break an egg to make an omelette, no? And it's good to have casualties, they will fear you and never dare cross you again Jordan"
"And how will you get to the Pack without alerting the others?"
The man's smile turned sinister "Oh, I have an insider" Then he turned around "Come in Sirius"
Sirius?
Jordan watched, in shock and possibly amazement as the male he recognized from the Pack walked in with a stoic expression on his face.
"This dear boy here came running to me for help after his darling love left him for someone else" The man said "Someone I presume we all hate at the moment"
Axel.
Jordan could not still believe it, so he laughed "You'd really betray Raven?"
"She is supposed to be mine!" The male snapped "Not that bastards. Mine!"
"There there Romeo" The man said as he faces Jordan "He knows how to get most of us into the Pack, so that isn't even your worry"
"And you trust him?" Jordan asked "What if he just betrays us?"
"The hate I feel for Axel runs deeper than what you feel for him at the moment" Sirius said coldly "So if there's anyone that should be a traitor, it's you, plus, you're loyal to no one, so that's even something Alpha should be worried of"
"At least I'm not some love sick...."
"Enough"
The deep man's voice bellowed as they both stopped, Sirius looking away and Jordan looking at the masked man hike he said "We all have a common enemy, so there is no need to make this into a fight. Do we have a deal Jordan Nightingale?"
"Do I get to kill Raven?" Jordan asked, grinning, hoping for a reaction from Sirius.
Which certainly came as the male turned to him, gold eyes flashing "How dare you?!"
The man sighed "No, no one's killing the girl. She's under Sirius' protection. Axel on the other hand, is up for that. When you get more rested, we can share lots and decided who gets to remove his dumb blue eyes first, is that good enough?"
Jordan smirked "Good enough"
Dun!
Dun!!
Dunn!!!!!!
