Alpha Wyatt Pov…
"Where is the Rogue?" I looked up from the paperwork I'd buried my head in for hours. I was still here working and attending to some pack business when My Beta Waylon, mind-linked me about the Rogue that had just crossed into our border. Seeing how a particular Rogue has a death wish makes me smirk.
I don't involve myself in dealing with Rouges, I let my Beta and Gamma handle them but recently, the number of Rogues crossing into my border seems to be alarming and I think I love how they've all died by my hands. I watch and love how life slips out of them, after separating their heads from their body. Virtually all the rogues we've recorded lately are men but bringing to my notice a girl, makes me wonder who this girl is that is brave enough to go head-on with death.
"She's in the cell, Alpha" Waylon responded with a voice that screamed "Curious Waylon". I finally turned my focus to him after signing the last paper on my table.
"What?" I asked, relaxing my back on my seat. He scratched the back of his head lightly, hesitating to say anything…..I rolled my eyes before slamming my hands on my desk. A normal wolf would have scram out of fright but this man standing before me is Waylon Jose, My Beta, and one of my best friends. We've known each other since diapers, same as Ian Walker, My Gamma.
Waylon didn't squeak but after I speak next, he quickly voiced out, the effect of the 'Alpha tone'.
"If you won't speak, then get out of my sight and lead the way to the cell," I said annoyed.
"I noticed something while we were bringing her here," He said and I irked one of my brows for him to continue.
"She seems different from other Rogues," He said to me but I remained quiet observing him before I finally stood up abruptly….."Lead the way" I told him and he nodded before walking out First. Now thinking about it, Hades(My wolf) had been restless for the past few hours. What could be wrong?
I watched Waylon open the last cell on the right. I was a few feet away from Waylon but I can tell you that my wolf has been a roller coaster of emotions. He opened the door and I saw a figure tied to a chair with silver chains (Silver chains drain a wolf of all its power,rendering them useless) in the middle of the room. I couldn't see her face because her hair was all over her face.
Suddenly my heart was thumping fast, an unfamiliar feeling overwhelming me….but when the young girl raised her bowed head and locked eyes with mine, my whole world froze. I couldn't move. I was spellbound…The words were threatening to come out of me but I can't. No way! No way would I acknowledge that the Rogue caught by my warriors is my MATE. I don't even want one. I don't ever want one but my Wolf kept purring in my head loudly MATE! MATE!!
*P.S: The mates are their destined soulmates and they are chosen by the moon goddess (their god)*
"What is your name? I asked her, not breaking eye contact with her tired ones.
"If you're going to kill me, just fucking get to it and over with," She said in her strained voice as a result of the silver on her neck, sapping her strength.
In a split, I was standing right in front of her grabbing her throat even if I felt so much sensation from just making contact with her skin, she on the other hand weepslightly..."You will never speak to me like that, ever again" I pressed her throat tighter, letting her be when I realized, life could be sipping out of her while she coughed weakly, with tears stinging her eyes.
"Now, we'll go again and I'm only Hoping you speak before I snap your head out" I told her.
"Go ahead and snap it. Go on" she coughed.
I looked back at Waylon who stood a good distance away from us..." No food and drink for her until I say so" Waylon gave me a Shocked expression but I care less and With that, I left the Cell angrily pushing my wolf to the back of my mind as his wail was raging me more. How dare she talk back at me like that? Can't she feel the pull? Doesn't she know who I am?..
Stopping abruptly, I smirked, thinking of the possible ways I could make her beg for death and make her reject me. I don't want a mate and I will be fine if she disappears like every other rogue that dares step into my Territory. I resumed walking to the backyard and shifting without even bothering to take my clothes off..the rage inside of me was enough to shred my clothes into pieces, I guess walking back into the house naked today would do it.
I have my House just a little distance from the park house. I've never liked the park house ever since I was a child. It's too crowded for me. I love the absolute quietness that I get at my house but I have an official office at the park house.
Running wild into the woods, all I feel is rage.
To be continued….
