ALPHA GREGOR POV
"I demand to know where the hell I am!" I growled at the girl shaking helplessly at the doorway.
I sat upright on the bed naked from the waist up. My heavy chest and back were bandaged from all the injuries I'd sustained during the attack. The girl holding the cup had walking in at the same moment I got up. My confusion and her panic filled the whole room with a thick mist.
Some of the water from the cup in her grip spilt from how badly she was shaking. I felt bad for her but I was too disoriented to care if my demeanour gave her a friggin heart attack. She could burst into flames and I would be indifferent.
"We, the uhm-" she stuttered.
Her clumsiness and my confusion enraged me to the point I could feel stress marks appear on my temple. It was obvious she was as clueless as I was.
"Get me, someone who knows something," I said with a grimace. "Be quick about it!" I bawled enjoying her reaction to my outbursts. There was never a wrong time to strike fear into the heart of the weak.
She stumbled off just as I knew she would while I tried to familiarize myself with my strange surrounding. Judging by the decoration and the quality of the bed frame, the sheets and even the rug on the floor, I'd say whoever had the place was no stranger to wealth.
I searched my memories in an attempt to see if I would be able to remember anything I might have missed about my attack. I did not doubt that I had somehow been rescued and I was currently in the base of my rescuer. The fact that everything in the room looked strange to me could only mean that whoever had rescued me wasn't a member of my pack.
I had to be careful or else I'd find myself in a bigger problem than the one I had just gotten out of. Just then, a faint memory grazed my mind. The strange scent I had picked up before it all went dark. What was that about? I thought as my thick brows furrowed in concentration.
"Finally you're up."
I had been so lost in my thoughts to notice the old man who had somehow managed to walk into the room without making a noise. He stood remarkably erect and something about his fluid steps gave le the impression that he was somehow levitating.
"And who are you?" I raised a questioning brow at him.
There was something about his greying hair, his wrinkled flesh, and his aura that gave him a sage vibe. There was a hidden smile just at the corner of his lips.
"How are you feeling?" He asked completely ignoring my questions.
I hate when my questions are being ignored and this old sage-looking creep had done it without breaking a sweat. Even in my current state, I could easily snap his neck, whip out his spine and fashion it into a cane as a gift to another wise man.
"I asked a question, gramps," I growled.
He snickered as if I had somehow transformed into a jester. Keeping my anger at bay was proving to be the hardest thing in the world to do at that moment but I knew I had to maintain my cool if I was to get the information I needed while keeping my head attached to my neck. There was no doubt in my mind that they would turn violent the moment they knew who I was.
The old man walked over to a table and pulled out a drawer. Within the drawer were several vials. He pulled one out, examined the content, and nodded his approval before closing the drawer then he glided towards me.
"Here." He stretched the vial to me with its purple liquid.
I watched the thick liquid with an intense glare. My instincts alerted me to the fact that whatever the purple liquid was, it would taste like the ass of a wildebeest. I refused to accept the vial from him even though he insisted upon it.
"It's a very powerful herbal mix." He sighed after a while.
"I don't give a fuck if it was made from water gotten from the fountain of life. Just keep your evil-tasting liquids from me."
"So it's about the taste." He snickered.
"Hell ya, it's about the taste." I fired back at him.
He sighed. "I wonder why she went through all the trouble just to rescue you."
She?
Something about what he just said made me remember the strange yet familiar scent I had picked up back then. My wolf urged me to hide my scent. Even though I didn't like the idea, I knew he had a point. If they knew I was Alpha Gregor, they would become hostile and I might never get the chance to find out about the scent.
I merged my mind with my inner wolf's and together we covered our scent till it gave off the familiar lowly tinge of an Omega.
"Who is this 'she' you speak of," I asked in a calm tone. I had to do everything necessary to know what happened.
He waved my question off with a gesture. I knew it was going to be hard to trick this old geezer.
"Who are you?" He asked with a serious glint in his eyes.
Just then the door opened. It was clear they didn't teach them to knock. Bunch of savages, I thought bitterly. It was one of the reasons our packs were in constant hostility.
A woman walked in. Her hair was so dark it reminded me of ravens. Immediately she entered, her purple eyes went soft as she turned towards me. A touch of worry creased her brow. There was something oddly familiar about her.
"You're up." She said with a smile. Her smile could make any madman recover his sanity.
I gasped at her and nodded, unable to speak.
"I'm Eleanor. I'm the-"
The old man moved forward with a scowl cutting her short and said, "We shouldn't be so gentle with him. I don't trust this one."
She ignored his words. "It's fine Ladrius. That will be all."
I turned to him with a smirk. His face turned red seeing the look of satisfaction on mine. Yeah Ladrius, that will be all. Now get lost! I thought.
He bowed and then walked out of the room shutting the door behind him.
The woman walked to the bed where I sat for the last hour. She took a spot beside me smiling at me as she did so.
"Hope you don't mind." She asked.
I told her I didn't.
We stared at each other and I felt drawn to her in a way I couldn't explain. It was as if my very essence was being pulled out of me and I felt a sharp pain hit my chest.
I bent over holding my side wincing in agony. What the fuck was going on?!
"Are you hurt? What's happening?" She asked getting worried.
She leaned over and touched my shoulders trying to see if I was bleeding from my side. The moment her skin came in contact with mine, I knew it. I sensed the strange scent.
I knew she was my mate...
ELEANOR POVThe stranger grunted while reaching for his side. Instinctively, I reach out for him thinking he had busted his wounds."Are you hurt? What's happening?" I asked.The minute my hands touched his shoulder, a strange sensation distorted my senses. Everything blurred out for me except the feeling. A feeling that was alien to everything I'd ever felt in my life. A heavy feeling settled in my chest. It morphed into a sharp pain but I did my best to let it move through me. I removed my hands from his body as fast as I could. Immediately I did so, the pain subsided till it was gone completely. He was either a very powerful wolf or my touching him and the pain I'd felt were not related at all. Just a mere coincidence. I checked his aura to confirm and it gave off the scent of a lowly Omega. That was when it hit me. This strange man was my mate. The scent I got from him was undeniable.My mate! I thought in a frenzied state.Why?I decided to keep my discovery at the back of my m
ALPHA GREGOR POV"What's your name?" She asked stopping just by the doorway.The grumpy red-haired guy stopped to like a loyal lapdog which I convinced myself he was.I thought about her question for a while. There was no reason for her to be ignorant as to the name of the Alpha of her enemy pack. She'd definitely know my name even though it was clear she had no idea what I looked like. Telling her my real name would be foolishness on my part and I was no fool."I'm Garrett," I said holding my breath and steadying my heartbeat."Hmmm... Garrett." She said grinning at me.Her smile twisted my insides as if my innards had been fed to a shredder."I'll be seeing you soon." She left with that.I rested back on the bed.There was no doubt that she was powerful. I could feel the strength oozing off her being while she was sitting close to me. As sleep took me away, my thoughts stayed on Eleanor.ROUGHLY A MONTH LATER...ONE COLD EVENINGI waited just outside the door with my arms crossed. My
Taking one last look at Max who lay on the ground unconscious, I shrugged my shoulders before carrying my mate."Joey, I just hope she forgives me," I muttered softly to my beta.But trust that idiot! He would never be an encouragement. I know he was going to take pleasure in mocking me for a while. "I don't know, man. She looks tough! How about I bet that the first thing she would do was punch that pretty face of yours?" Joey remarked, stifling his grin. I glared at him. I wondered what type of friend he was. He was supposed to be giving me hopes but he was bent on mocking me instead. "Wipe that grin off before I wipe you off myself!" I said, throwing him a dirty look.That did the trick as he quickly shut his mouth and followed me meekly, my mate lying unconscious in my arms. I knew she won't wake up anytime soon but I want to get home as soon as I can.I don't want to give room to any mistakes. There was only one thing on my mind right at that moment. I just wanted to leave as s
ELEANOR POVI opened my eyes slowly and quickly shut them back due to the reflection of the room. Somehow I felt something was off. I slowly removed the blanket covering my body and realized I was still in my warrior attire."What the fuck happened to me? Why would I fucking sleep with my…"I was wondering what happened when something clicked in my head. I tried to pick the flashes but then everything went blank again.I looked around the room and realized something was different. This was not my room and surely not Max's room either. Sometimes I sleep over at his place especially when I want to escape my parents' nagging. I was in a different environment cause none of the rooms in my pack are decorated like this either. And the air was quite different. My nose tried to pick up whatever it could take but I swear I haven't come across such a place before. "Could I be dreaming? But it's so real and where is Garrett?" I mused to myself.At the mention of my mate's name, it seemed I was
I felt his hand leave my hair as it slid down to my boobs. He began to massage one of my boobs with his hand as we continued kissing passionately."Arrrrh…ahhhhh." I moaned in between the kisses.My moans and his groans filled with ecstasy filled the whole room as it seems we just can't seem to get enough of each other.The kiss became intense, and our tongues went into a battle for dominance, but then he won as I had to take a rest. "I want you," I said in almost a whisper, but I know he must have heard me clearly."I want you too, baby," He said, smiling faintly. Then I bounced my ass up and down his erect dick to prove my point. "Vixen." He said, chuckling. I was ready to be his vixen only. Then he captured my lips in another hot steamy kiss filled with so much love and passion. The kiss alone was able to convey our unspoken feelings for one another.But then I want him… inside me, again but this time I was going to be in charge. "You've given me so much pleasure, it's my time
Gregor POVI watched as Jessie's face turned pale as she stared into space, immediately, I dropped the bombshell of me meeting my mate. She looked shocked and… disappointed? Why would she be or I think I was being too observant due to the happenings."Are you okay, Jessie?" I asked, touching her shoulders. " Oh, Gregg! I am just… worried about you. I… you know how you always talk about mates being someone's weakness and that they… they would be the death of you.." She stuttered, avoiding my gaze.That's right. I once had the notion but not for someone like Eleanor. She was damn tough and a great warrior. How could such a person be a weakness?"Yeah. But not for my warrior mate. The only thing I am afraid of is the fact that I would soon be chopped off by her," I said, chuckling. I looked up to see Jessie looking at me. I could see concern written all over her face though something in me tells it wasn't a genuine concern but I trust Jessie, she wouldn't want to do something that will
I looked at him trying to check the injuries he sustained. It was my fault for snapping at him and I looked at him with pity. I could see he was breathing heavily. "Are you okay?" I asked with concern written in my voice. "Do I fucking look like I am okay? Get strangled by someone as powerful as you, then you can tell me if your question is necessary," he replied, glaring at me as he stood to his feet, dusting the dirts on his cloth. "I am sorry, dude. I will take Eleanor inside then come to the study to get the progress of the pack," I said walking over to where Eleanor was lying on the grass. I touched her pulse to check her breathing rate and saw it was normal. I sighed softly before lifting her up on my back and headed towards my suite. I looked back as I felt a movement behind me.It was Jessica walking towards me with concern on her face. She must have been around all these while and only came out when she saw me going away with my mate. "Do you need help? " Jessica asked ba
JESSICA POVI watched the lady who was sleeping peacefully with hatred filled up to the brim in my heart. Should I just poison her? I thought within myself. Nah, Greg will surely want to find out what killed her. "Why does she have to surface now when I was beginning to have another thought? Just when I planned to get Greg for myself? She's having an upper hand with the alpha," I thought while pacing about in the room staring at the lady with nothing but hatred.Then I shook my head,"Nope I can't let this good for nothing enemy from another pack come and take my dreams of becoming the Luna of Red Blood Pack,never not over my living soul." I have to think of a way out the earlier the better, I thought within myself."Jessie come on, think about what to do!" I said to myself while tapping my forehead repeatedly.The Luna position belongs to me and me alone. If I can't be Luna then no one will, I said with determination in my voice while I looked at her with envy and jealousy. If not
