Chapter 5 - Hades

"Alpha, we found some rogues within pack territory while patrolling the borders. They have been put in the prison cells and are waiting for you."

"Leave them there for tonight with no food. I'll deal with them tomorrow." I reply, "Is that all?"

"Yes alpha."

"You are dismissed."

These rogues are quite the nuisance - always savage and causing unnecessary issues. Of course, they're no match for me but they're dirty and overall a hassle.

I'm in my office sorting through pack paper work and organising meetings that I have lined up for next week. All the packs want to have an alliance because I'm the Lycan king and lead the strongest pack in the world.

My beta, Adrian, strolls into my office. "Hades, my sister is throwing a party tonight and she's invited us to come."

"No, I do not have time for such silly things. I have paper work to do."

"Come on, it will be fun. We'll have a few drinks and then come back. We won't stay too late."

Weirdly, my wolf is urging me to go to this party and he won't tell me why. He's been on edge all day and I don't understand - he's usually not like this. And he's not talking to me either, just sitting at the back of my head and putting up the block between us.

"Fine," I reluctantly agree, "but just for an hour then we're back and you're doing the patrols."

"Thanks man, we have to leave in an hour."

"Whatever, now get the fuck out of my office and knock before you enter Adrian."

"Yeah yeah, bye hades!" He screams before dashing out my office. I roll my eyes, and tell him to fuck off.

We're on our way to Adrian's sister, Kyra's house and my wolf won't stop trotting around in my head.

'Eros, what the fuck is going on with you. You've been acting up all the day.'

'Shut up,' he barks back, 'I have a feeling that something's going to happen.'

'You're not telling me what so how about you shut up and stop bothering me.'

He then growls and shuts off the link.

Meanwhile, Adrian is singing his head off to this awful music. "Adrian if you don't shut the fuck up, I crush you with my bare hands."

He puts his hands up in mock surrender, "My bad, it's not my fault you can't appreciate this talent. You should be happy that you're being blessed with my voice."

I shut him up with a glare.

"Okay okay I'll stop now. When do you think you'll meet your mate?"

I pause and think. Mate? Do I have a mate out there? I've killed so many without remorse so do I even deserve that kind of love? . I don't think I have a mate. I've been everywhere so I would've found her if she was out there.

I remember seeing mum and dad being so in love when I was younger. Mum told me that mates from the moon goddess were a blessing and to cherish my mate when I found her. But love is what got them killed. They sacrificed themselves to save each other and left me here alone.

I don't want a mate. They make you weak.

"No I don't have a mate." I reply while Eros whines in protest in my head. Adrian just hums in reply and continues driving.

We get out of the car and head upstairs to Kyra's flat.

As soon I enter I smell this heavenly scent. I look up and I see her.

Mine. Mate.

Her long black hair is cascading down her back and she's wearing this dark red dress showcasing her tan legs.

She's beautiful. I've never seen a girl just as stunning as her.

Fuck, her plump lips and those eyes. She's driving me crazy. I trail my eyes all over her and fuck she's beautiful.

My wolf is going feral about her and is growling madly in my head. 'I just want to bend her over and mark her. Make her mi'— I cut my wolf off so that I can focus on the girl in front of me.

I smell her alluring scent and I can tell that she's human.

I look into her gorgeous green eyes and she peers up at me in shock. She's so small and has to strain her pretty little head to look up at me. Cute.

"Mine." I growl.
