Alpha Herveuax.POV.

“How do I tell Tala, Nanny Veruska is dead?” I asked Fernando. I knew he was less interested, but I had no one to turn to.

“Get her a new one, Alpha, I need to go somewhere important” he, requested for permission to leave.

I was working on getting a new nanny, with the new lady I met today. If she shows up, she would be the one to take over. I’m ready to do anything as long as she agrees to take care of Tala.

“You can’t leave now, we need to talk about Veruska’s murder” Fernando stayed back.

“Take a seat. Every other thing can wait”

“Yes Alpha” he responded. 

When we were at school, he called to tell me she had been murdered. I rushed there to see for myself.

“That wasn’t a suicide this time, it was clearly murder.”

“Yes, Alpha" "You have to act now, so you won’t be considered as weak. If this gets out to the public, not even your pack will be saved.”

“What do you suggest I do?”

“Meet with our elders” Fernando said, like he had the answers before I asked.

“Fine. summon them; I will join them soon”. Fernando left.

I knew violence should not be the answer to all situations, but I was pushed to the wall, not Nanny Veruska. Whoever the attacker was, it's glaring the person has a personal issue with me, but "Who would DARE!?"

For twelve years, I have maintained peace and order as The Lycan Prowlers pack’s Alpha and as the supreme leader. "Why now?"

“I want you to look into something” I said to Herving. He was a part of my pack, vibrant, and young.

The only difference between him and Fernando was the experience. Fernando was more experienced than Herving.

I handed him the information gathered on Veruska’s death. “We can use our powers, Alpha herveaux?” Herving suggested.

“Do as I say!” I commanded.

“I believed in a new world, where our powers won’t be seen as a threat but as a thing of joy and peace"

"Not anymore. It will be blood for blood, an eye for an eye and ten lives for any one of mine that was taken".

"Whoever it is that is responsible for Ashina and Versuka’s death should get ready to pay dearly!”

“The meeting has commenced, grace it with your presence. Alpha.” Fernando came back to call me.

At the meeting. *********

Meetings with the elders of the Lycans prowler pack were gravely different from the general one with other packs.

The elders are divided. Some are fully under my control, while the others never agreed to my father's desicion on making me the next Alpha.

I knew I was late but I walked in majestically, they loving or hating on me makes no difference. "I Am Still The Alpha!"

"We have been waiting for you, Alpha Herveaux". It was Cyril born and bred into the Lycans prowler.

 He is just like me, he became an elder because his father made him one. But Cyril is gullible.

"We all have come to the conclusion that you must get a new Luna. As we all agreed, the process must speed up". Cyril said.

"Why not we wait for the moon goddess to give our Alpha another mate"Great Alune said.

The great Alune is an elder and a living legend. unfortunately,I was her biggest loss. Her prophecy that my brother would become the next Alpha never came to pass.

It wasn't strange to see her supporting me, she never took sides but stood in her way, She did whatever she felt was right.

"I will decide on what to do!" I cautioned them all.

SAMANTH’S POV

That was a close call. I thought he recognized me, but I still had to go see him. Cervantes said that is our main goal.

I wondered if my father or anyone had replied the message I sent to him using Tala's phone.

Cervantes said nothing about it, so I figured out he wasn’t omnipotent, he can’t be everywhere at a time. He only knew everything he got his mind on or set out to do.

“Go there now, its time”. Cervantes whispered. I freaked out, not because I was scared of his annoying presence that came unannounced, but I feared he might have heard me.

“Fine I will, but his driver is not here”. I peeped through the window and went back to my seat.

“Change your dress, wear something appealing to a man.” I wasn’t going to listen to Cervantes. If there was something I knew, only a woman can draw the attention of a man she wants herself.

“No, I will dress myself up this time” I insisted.

“Don’t blow up your chance with him!” Cervantes warned earnestly.

“Now look at the window again”. I peeped to see the driver was there. I had just finished dressing.

My dress wasn’t a cooperate one this time. The modest, yellow-eyed, cold man would not want to have a whore for a nanny or his child’s tutor.

I wore a long blue fitted gown with a slit by the side, a little past my knees.

“You forgot something”, Cervantes added, drawing my busy attention.

“The necklace! I had forgotten”. I put it on. staring at myself in the mirror once again.

I was scared! It wasn’t me, it was someone different. “Why do I have to look like this?” I asked Cervantes

“I told you, it's Auriel, no more Samantha”. He patted me on the shoulder.

I got into the car. The driver drove off straight to Alpha Herveaux’s new mansion. I was full of anxiety; my hands were shaking and panicking.

“Calm down, you’ll be fine Samantha", I said to myself.

I was ushered in by a woman in uniform. Cervantes mentioned that I shouldn't underestimate anyone I see there, They are all werewolves just of different power levels.

“Wait here, The Alpha will see you soon” she said, and left after bowing to greet me.

The sitting room was very large, it had a beautiful and extravagant design, “His fashion taste is great” I said to myself.

A young boy came down from the stairs. He held a PlayStation pad with him.

“Werewolves play games too?” I asked myself.

He stole glances at me but walked past me without saying a word. He looked older than Tala.

“How are you? What’s your name,” I asked with a broad smile. He only walked past me, he returned my gesture by smiling in return.

“His name is Dante! Are you accepting the offer or not?!”

only one person could be that cold and blunt with his words, no form of greeting, just straight to the question.

It was Alpha Herveaux. “Come with me”, he ordered coldly.

We kept on climbing the steps. He needs to get an elevator! Can’t he see that I was wearing heels?

We finally got to the top of the building, the terrace. It had a beautiful view. It was awesomely splendid.

“You can be free now, act normally” Apha Herveaux said, with a baleful smirk on his face.

“I beg your pardon!” I was scared and confused, "Did he know anything?"

“Yes I do know everything” he answered.

“Stop please, don’t listen to my thoughts, you’re scaring me,” I blurted out ineptly.

Alpha Herveaux was moving close to me, slowly, but my heart raced faster. I dared not think, because he would hear them. He stepped closer and I kept moving back, until I hit the wall.

“I knew you looked familiar. Was it you? The girl at the bar” he said, raising my face by the chin to look at him.

He moved closer to me, leaning his body against mine, he was heavy, I could feel him breathing.

“You’re too close”, I muttered. He pressed on me harder. I felt helpless.

“What do you want from Alpha herveaux? A taste of him or a taste of his superior power” he said, still holding me down to a spot.

“You have misunderstood it all, you told me to come here” I said, avoiding his face as he kept looking straight into my eyes.

He kept staring at me, with his hands still on my face, he kissed me slowly and with ease.

“What do you want, I ask again? You might never get it?” he kissed me again, this time harder than the first time.

“You’re hurting me” I said in a lowly voice.

“I can do more than that?!” Alpha Herveaux thundered.
