Chapter Four
Those who are heartless, once cared too much." ― Frank Ocean
Ryan
The car stopped in front of him, a few feet away from where he stood.
"Hopppp in" she bellowed excitedly, acting like a kid in a fun park.
"Supp alpha" she greeted flirtatiously. Seductively looking at him like a dog about to pounce on a bone.
"Seems like someone's excited". He said in his mind. His wolf snickered in response.
He sighed before entering the car, muttering incorrigible words underneath his breathe.
Malina grinned at him, as he closed the few feets between them. She gave an internal sigh of relief when he entered the car. She had assumed he would throw a fit, not literally, but maybe refuse having her as his driver, that much she had expected. She thanked the goddess for her luck.
Although he'd like to have anyone be his driver, as long as it wasn't her, he didn't say anything about replacing her to someone else. Even though he doesn't want to be anywhere near her, he had to comport himself and act like her presence doesn't affect him,he wouldn't give her the satisfaction, she's the last person he expected to run into while in the crescent moon pack, but it seems like the odds were against him.
Meanwhile as Ryan was bombarded with different thoughts racing through his mind, Malina on the other hand, in her mind thought he had feelings for her, well she's kinda not wrong but it wasn't the type of feeling she thinks he has for her. He truly does have feelings for her. Hatred. Pure. Raw hatred, that's what he feels for her. He despised her. And the deluded girl had no idea.
The way she looked at him, the emotions that she deliberately showed him, gave him a pang, as past memories came flooding in. But just as it flooded his thoughts, brewing up a storm within him, he sealed it up. Placed a mental lid on it. He knows her well enough, to know what she's trying to do. And it wasn't going to work on him.
He heard all that had happened to the blood moon pack and that they weren't as strong as they used to be. He felt no remorse towards them. He had been informed they were almost reaching the bottom of the food chain and they needed alliance, power, and connection, which is the apparent reason why she's in his life again, batting her fake eyelashes at him, hoping against all odds he'd fall for her tricks again. He couldn't feel sorry for her, and her power hungry pack. None of them in the pack is righteous or kindhearted.
"She hurt you, betrayed you, you shouldn't forgive her, not so easily". Hati, his wolf interjected.
Malina placed her hand on his thigh and squeezed it affectionately, before focusing back on the road and drove out of the pack, leaving dust in her wake.
"The pack is situated in the central Europe.The Alps. They are the largest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe land stretch, approximately one thousand, two hundred kilometers across eight alpine countries: France, Switzerland Monaco, Italy, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany and Slovenia". Said Malina, full of energy and enthusiasm. "There are Eastern and western Alps," she continued. "The curved central chain, it's owned by France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, and Germany.
The Alps are Europe youngest mountain range. They came into existence sixty-five million years ago , as a result of a collision between African and eruasion teltonic plates.
Humans have been living in the Alps for sixty thousand years, while werewolves had lived longer in the Alps. Although wolves had just been recently discovered in the Alps, werewolves had existed even before the discovery of the Alps.
In the past, the Alps was a remote location with difficult living conditions which humans couldn't cope with, but today the Alps region attracts more than one hundred million visitors every year.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth century the Alps attracted some interest, artists (mostly poets and writers) and naturalist started flocking to it and it was around that time it became popular to climb the peaks.
Mont Blanc is where the pack mostly hold ceremonies and some other important occasions and it stands at four thousand eight hundred meters above sea level which makes it the highest of all the peaks in the Alps. While it is the tallest, mont Blanc isn't the only peak that exceeds four thousand meters in height. In fact, there are glaciers, that was in 1876. By 1970, the area covered by glaciers had reduced to one thousand three hundred and forty two square kilometers. Chamonix is where the entire pack resides, including the alpha. Chamonix is a quaint little town filled with historic places and charming auberges(inn). It's been a world renowned ski resorts ever since the winter Olympics of 1924 were held here. Reflecting it's history, the architecture of Chamonix is a mix of traditional and modern, which made ancient supernatural creatures, most especially witches to be attracted to the place. Especially the jural region, a lovely pastoral landscape of green, rolling hills dotted with historic towns and beautiful villages. The PARC jura vaudois is a two hour drive from Chamonix". She paused to allow him to respond. He did not.
" The drive from Chamonix to Geneva airport (GVA) is about an hour via the autoroute blanche (A40) motorway, she resumed her one-sided conversation."There is a short stretch of Swiss autoroute system. And to use the swiss autoroute system a swiss vignette is required (CHf40). Alternatively you can drive through the centre of Geneva, if you're fortunate, it may add no more than twenty minutes to your journey". She concluded, while on the other hand, throughout the whole car ride to the airport, Ryan complained to his wolf, while his wolf only added to his distress, instead of reliving him.
" Hope she isn't gon' try anything as she escorts me back to my pack". He Wondered. "Nah, buddy she's gonna try a hell lot of things, actually she already is trying something". His wolf quipped in response. " And one more thing" , his wolf continued, ' it's our pack, not yours alone'. He corrected. He knows more than anyone how possessive and territorial his wolf can be, he shouldn't have made such a slip-up , without his wolf, he's nothing and vice versa. During the battle that claimed many wolves lives, he had survived and it's all thanks to his wolf.he couldn't have done it alone without the support of his wolf.
