Chapter 8 - Chapter 8- Paying for betrayal

In the forest, where Howard had ran off to, the grounds were shaking indicating the presence of a very powerful warlock being angry, his magic was acting out. Because he was a young warlock, a powerful one at that, he was still learning the art of magic and control and because he is yet to grasp the art of control, it was hard for his magic to not act out when he was that angry.

He was fuming, thinking Xavier has betrayed him after all the support he has brought to the young alpha while they were growing up and till date. Growing up, they were two peas in a pod, wherever one went, the other followed. They caused troubles together, made mistakes together and learnt their lessons as well. It was because of everything they have been through together that made him think Xavier was a traitor; although, in his subconscious, he knew the young Alpha would never do anything to hurt him, he was just too angry to let it go and reason for a bit.

It wasn't long before Xavier caught up to his friend, tracking his scent with his werewolf ability. He could feel the land tremble where he stood, an indicator of Howard's magic acting out.

"Howard!" Xavier called out, once, twice, before the said friend appeared.

​"Howard, I swear I didn't know she was going to say that", he quickly explained knowing that Howard has the tendency of destroying things, human included as the powerful warlock he is.

​"", Howard paused his lips and didn't bother uttering a word; he simply stared at Xavier, lips pressed together in a thin line, thinking of ways to make the traitorous friend pay for his sins.

Being the Alpha has been good to Xavier because he had good genes that make ladies always want him wherever they go. Howard never thought anything of it since no one really interests him and he knows he himself was good looking too. Perhaps it was the fact that Xavier had a handsome face that called people in, maybe that was the reason Jaden didn't want anything to do with him, Howard thought if he destroyed the face and made it unrecognizable, no one else would want Xavier the way they did, no on including Jaden. Howard wanted to turn his friend's face hideous, and he did just that.

​"Faciem tuam vide malum", Howard casted the easy spell making Xavier fall to the ground as the pain of his face melting was too unbearable even for an alpha werewolf. It was easy for him to cast such spell because he was a very powerful warlock that learns quickly.

​After casting the spell, it wasn't long for it to start working on Xavier, in fear and disgust, Howard quickly ran off, vowing to never let anyone in love that is within his sight ever live. A stupid vow he made simply because he was angry for being rejected for the first time. He traveled for so many days until he came across a new pack, Velvet Moon Pack. He was roaming around the pack lands after masking his scent looking for shelter; he wanted to make the pack his home. He almost did make the Pack his home, but he realized they were a pack full of love for one another, something he despised, Love.

He was walking through the woods on a peaceful afternoon when he heard laughter not too far away, and he decided to check it out. Lo and behold, he saw a happy couple, who according to their scents are werewolves from the pack near where his shelter was built and it looked like they were on a picnic/ family date, as their little pup was yapping happily around the couple who seemed to be having the time of their life.

With the anger of his unrequited love seemed to be burning like never before in his heart, he went ahead and gathered a group of rogues to attack the pack at his command. It was easy to lead a pack of rogues with the kind of magic he processed. Howard and Hid pack of rogue wolves attacked the pack when they least suspected and killed many innocent lives or wolves in their case.

He was frustrated when he saw that they still helped, cared and loved each other, even at the point of death, he saw a woman taking care of people from her pack like a leader, but he couldn't stand it, he blasted the woman with his magic, killing her.

The woman Howard killed had a little girl, who watched her mother die before her eyes and with her piercing eyes she made out the image of Howard, her mother's murderer. Being a pup born of two alpha wolves, the little girl let out a loud howl signifying her pack of the immediate danger and sadness of losing their Luna. They had lost their Alpha not long ago, it was indeed very sad to lose both their leaders at short span of time.

When the pack warriors heard the little girl's howl, they started in her direction with only a goal in mind, protect their Alpha's only heir. As Howard heard the sound of paws coming in his direction, he took off, having accomplished his goal, bring sadness wherever he went, and it was like he disappeared into nothingness.

​At Xavier's side of the world, he was writhing in pain, holding his head, as his face has melted to the extent that he could barely see. He was rescued by his Pack warriors that patrols the woods, but not on time for the pack physician who was also a magician to reverse the magic that was done on him. He had no choice but to wear a mask over his head as his face was too hideous, even to him himself.

He became the one eyed man, scary as he had shut off his emotions enhancing his alpha powers making him attain the throne earlier than planned by the elders of the Pack. Xavierattained the throne, in the throne room he set his throne to face backwards in such a way that whoever wants to speak to him can only see the back of his head. He became a merciless one- eyed alpha that barely let anyone in, no one, not even his family members and whoever break any rule he has set, it was straight death, no mercy! Every pack member began living in fear of him.

​Although, Xavier became merciless, he was just and he would never let anyone hurt his pack members, he protected them like he had nothing to lose. He somewhat became their hero. A merciless Hero. Alpha Xavier earned himself a bad name and his reputations truly preceded him.

On one side of the world, a woman held an orb similar to something used to check the future or the past. She saw what Howard had done and knew how dangerous it would be to let someone like him roam the earth freely. She knew what she had to do and she needed to do it quickly. Get rid of the threat. Howard.
