I'm woken up by the sound of the alarm. After my run, I had taken a bath and slept off, not before I had the alarm set to wake me for the meeting.
I always end up so exhausted after a run but surprisingly very refreshed. And this run was no exception, however my wolf had being acting very strange recently and more on edge than usual. Ever since I became aware of her she had always felt not comfortable being in the rogue pack, not that I was comfortable, however hers felt more intense, she somehow fells drawn to a real pack and tried as much as she could to get me to leave.
I won't say i would be welcomed into a real pack with opened arms. Maybe a cracked open skull, but not with open arms. That I'm sure of.
I choose a black leather pants pairing that with a white shirt and my trusty boots.
I rush to freshen in the bathroom, within fifteen minutes I'm all ready, I look myself in the mirror taking in my features. In the mirror I'm faced with my 5'5ft frame. Striking hazel eyes and if you looked closer you could see the golden specks in them. Long brunette hair reaching down my waist which I had in two pigtails and of course we can't forget my white as f**k skin.
I look like I never go out in the sun although,I'm always in the sun. I'm kind of a beauty if you could call it that, but I do know I'm not ugly.
Its 7:00pm by the time I'm out the door and now I'm heading to Felix's cabin.
My place is far off from the rest of the pack, one being that I'm on the border patrol and need to be close to the border and also my wolf would never accept to be a part of this park, for reasons she has refused to let me in on.
"You is not rogue. Rogue smell corpse. We smell strong"
As I said before, she's just a ball of sunshine and daffodils.
Its a good ten minutes walk before I get to the cabin and I could already pick up the scents of other males in the cabin, they probably are on the raid team.
I'm greeted at the door by another guard
"What business do you have here?" I could hear his heart beating faster
"I'm here for the meeting"
He doesn't waste time letting me in. I guess news spread really fast. I smirk as I walk in.
The moment I do, I wish I didn't. I'm met by the stench of male hormones all mingled up into one nauseating ball of horror.
They all look at me with a mix of disgust, anger and lust. What can I say? I'm something of legend.
My wolf was scratching at the back of mind trying to take over, she always tries to take over and it's being really stressful but of recent she's really being a thorn in my paw. She hates the attention she gets from them, especially from the males.
I walk over and take a seat at the far end of the room.
I didn't want to be close to them as much as they didn't want me close.
Felix clears his throat bringing the attention back to him. Finally. "Since we're all here now, we can start this meeting. Properly" he announced
He looks around the room and I can feel his eyes settle on me, making my skin crawl.
"it's being two months since we went on a raid and now it seems we might need to do so again. The pack has complained and I your alpha, I have heard you" he says with a booming voice.
"That is a wonderful idea Alpha" some ass kisser says.
"Now I have decided on the next pack we would raid. This time we wouldn't need to go on another raid for up to six months after this… We would hit them hard and fast and with the element of surprise especially since they would be… busy" he made emphasis on the word busy which perked up my attention.
The room erupts in murmur. I also am having a hard time understanding what he meant, from what I do know, any pack that would deliver such would mean blooding our hands to drain them of their resources.
No pack would let their food supply get taken without putting up a fight and especially with the way Felix is saying this, he actually plans on taking more than enough, which would mean spending more time on the pack, which means more time for the warriors to be made aware and put up a fight.
Hence a bloodbath.
"w-what pack do you have in mind for the job Alpha" someone had managed to stutter, asking the question we all desperately wanted to ask.
After a moment of silence Felix finally drops the bombshell, "The white cub pack"
The tension in the room got really thick and you could feel the pressure so palpable. The white cub pack was not a pack to be made fun of, despite its innocent name, it was nothing close to innocent in the slightest place. It's name was some form of cruel joke by the past Alphas as a way to trick it's enemies who thought they would be a bunch of weak wolves.
This pack was made specifically as a warrior pack or more like barbaric assassin pack, cruelly designed for the battlefield.
It is said that one of it's past Alphas has such a war fiend that he took every opportunity to go to war against any pack.
One time during an Alphas meeting, a certain Alpha kept making fun of the white cub name, it was said that the white cub Alpha had told the council, and I quote "Since you all said nothing to him while he tarnished the name of my pack, I would take this as a sign you do not see him as an Alpha and for that reason, he would no longer be seen as an Alpha in the next 24hrs"
And true to his word, within the next 24hrs, the Alpha's pack was invaded and capture thus taking away his title as an Alpha and became a rogue.
And all this happened while the Alpha didn't move a muscle, it shows just how powerful they are.
That is the pack Felix wants us to attack.
And let's not forget the rumors of the current Alpha, who is said to be more brutal than any past Alphas before him.
He is said to be a tower of a man of pure muscle and war scars.
A man who rips out the throat of his enemies with just his teeth, I didn't say fangs, I said teeth. He does so while in his human form.
"A-Alpha a-are you s-s-sure of what you're s-saying? " someone had managed to stutter out a strangled questions.
I didn't want to admit it but it really was a necessary question to ask and also because I really didn't have any plans of dying this young and especially without experiencing life outside of this place.
No matter who called the shots and definitely not for someone who isn't even my Alpha or an Alpha to begin with.
Everyone held their breath as they looked to Felix to confirm if he was messing with us by pulling some cruel prank or if he really meant what he was saying.
And from the look he gave the poor guy, we could see he meant it.
"I had no idea my decisions where up for being debated" he growled out menacingly "since we're all so brave, who else has something to say? "
The rest of the men quickly cowered their heads down fear, I didn't miss the deathly pale look they had on their as beads of sweat clung to their foreheads.
I didn't want to stay silent and waste my life for some insecure w*****g prick to feel like he's something he clearly wasn't.
"I also think this not a wise idea" I calmly state. As I did I felt all eyes on me, and I could swear I could see them pleading for me to dissuade Felix. I had to stop myself from scoffing at how scared they were of their fellow man.
Felix turns to me with a smirk as though expecting that I would have an objection to his plan. Glad to know I didn't fail him.
"My dear Frie don't tell me you're scared" he said with mock concern and I could hear the sneer with each word he said.
"I never claimed to be scared, however I am stating what I know is on everyone's mind right now" I say as I stand up from my seat at the corner of the room making my way to the centre of the room to the table they were, and I could see the men squirm in their seat as I announced their inner thought, try as they may they didn't deny it "Going up against the white cub pack is going to be a one-sided m******e with us on the receiving end. So unless you have some foolproof plan which you could be telling us, I won't be part of this raid" I say as I stand facing him.
I look into his eyes and I see amusement twirling in his eyes.
"Does anyone else share this same thought?" he says while never taking his eyes off me.
He doesn't get any reply, confirming my words and I could see his jaw ticking with anger
"well since you all need a plan before following my orders" he growls lowly at me before turning around to face the men at the table "In a weeks time the white cub pack will be hosting a mating ceremony. And as we all know, they would be on low guard and not expecting any attack, due to their reputations they wouldn't think anyone would dare to cross into their lands. What they don't know is that we fear nothing and we would be there to raid them before they know what is going on"
He looks around meeting everyone's eyes and c*****g an eyebrow to insinuate if there was anyone who wanted to ask a question or didn't agree with his plan.
Honestly, I think his plan is bullshit but I have no intention of saying that.
My plan is simple: tag along behind everyone and at the slightest sign of trouble. I'm gone.
Simple.
If only it were that simple…
