HER RIGHTFUL ALPHA

CHAPTER IV

(CRIMSON ALPHA)

THIRD PERSON POV

“WHAT THE HELL!”

“That man is crazy!”

The news made everyone unsettled. Suddenly boiling in rage with irritation and a drive to defend and kill for the sake of the entire pack and the security of their territory. Worst, they all heard the fact that someone that almost the rest of the other packs considered to be an omen and a dangerous one, an Alpha that is known to be ruthless and knows no bounds nor remorse wanted to have something precious from their pack.

“Damn, that person! He may be an Alpha, but there are things that one should cross and not. To consider and to think about plenty of times before jumping to any things and facts that could tear everyone’s peace apart.”

“He may be known as the ruthless man who killed his father and left a pile of corpses and a trail of blood in his wake to have the position that he has right now. He may be feared by the small packs and other territories, but it doesn’t give him the right to request something absurd from us.”

Cliff and Andrews, firm words and more than a sentiment. Cliff then slams the table hard in anger. The two of them are the respected commander of the sixth and seventh units of the Silver Wolf Pack. One of the gammas of the pact and currently the third stronger warrior of the pack next to the beta. Expressing his thoughts immediately in front of everyone. The majority agrees with him immediately.

“Say your command and we will follow. We will prepare the necessary things that are needed and immediately face that pack and protect the territory. Alpha Reid!”

“We shouldn’t waste time and we should do things immediately.”

“How dark he asks for something stupid and absurd. Who is he to ask for one of the Alpha’s daughters ---”

“That’s enough, all of you!”

Leo raises his voice, in authority and second in command. Powerful and more than enough to shut everyone’s mouth. Calming everyone and with a word reminded them that the pack and Alpha Reid don’t want war or any bloodshed to spill in the territory, nor to have an enemy that is the face of the pack that everyone is worried about. Especially towards the Alpha whose title and record are something that no one of them should underestimate.

“Being rational and calculated in this situation is essential. Rather than your impulse and emotion that wouldn’t help our pack, but instead, you might put everyone in danger. Haven’t you forgotten? You all have seen it all, that night, that full moon, didn’t you?”

Everyone remains silent. Upon being slapped with the fact of the past Leo reminded them all. Triggering all their memory from the past war ten years ago. The war that changes the face of the entire continent. Bringing the nameless pack of Crimson into the pedestal and letting everyone existing about the best whose insatiable hunger for blood is unfathomable.

“The blood bath that night. The m******e and the pile of corpses that was left from his wake.” He remembers that night, the fear and the utter dread that they all saw in front of them. “Our pack may evade that same fate by being neutral. But the c*****e that night, and the blood moon prove the cruelty and taint that is supposed to be an innocent child. Do you think that we can stand against the most powerful demon werewolf of the prophecy?”

Still, in utter silence, some of them are clenching their first hard at the fact that they almost forgot the crude moment of that night in the past. A bit getting ahead of themselves now that the pack is one of the strongest seven and build its fame, title, and reputation after the bloody war ten years ago. The tragedy that wipes the three most powerful packs ever known. The pack was killed by a mere hand of a little boy that no one expected.

Leo sighs, making them understand and immediately.

“The Crimson Blood Hound Pack maybe in silence for ten years now. But we shouldn’t forget that their Alpha is that same supposed to be an innocent young boy of that night. The most powerful Alpha who took everyone with those small hands of him and manifested his demonic wolf at such an early age.”

“Leo is right.” Alpha Reid agrees, taking the things and the chances carefully as possible. “We couldn’t just jump into a meaningless fight without considering the safety of the entire pack. We aren’t the same ones ten years ago. Our territory is big and many people are looking up to us for their safety and protection. If that boy is a monster back then, just how much is he right now? I do not want to risk anything just to see it myself, and I believe that neither does anyone of you.”

The atmosphere changes, lessen with the boiling wrath and exchange with the calm nature after Alpha Reid explains the situation they are into. Making everyone realize and more than that fact that they all needed to be rational and not jump into any miscalculated things. If there are more diplomatic ways to settle everything without bloodshed.

“I do not wish to give anyone of my daughter to that ruthless man. But if it is the only way to save the rest, the most diplomatic way possible and without spilling any blood or putting someone in the brim of death and useless war. One is enough as a sacrifice.”

They all wanted to protest. Even Leo who cares so much for the two ladies and treated them like his own is having second thoughts of what Alpha Reid wanted to do. But weighing the facts and the consequences of things that will bring them. A sacrifice, a diplomatic marriage is the best course of action. He is just currently torn between the two ladies and the one that he is the most favorable.

“Who?” He asks quickly, holding his breath for a bit and the taunting inside his mind that is slowly dragging him to the edge. “Do you have a person in mind?”

“I-” Alpha Reid hesitates, unsure of the fact that he didn’t want to let go of any of his daughters, but he also knows that this is the only way. “The one that I have in mind---”

“SIVER hair and a pair of grey eyes. Just who had those criteria that are mentioned in the book, but the daughter of the alpha of the Silver Wolf Pack?”

“Do you think that they will just hand you one of their precious ladies, especially since they are the daughter of Alpha Reid?”

“Tsk!”

He smirks. Confident and more than a simple arrogance that anyone thinks about him. His title and standing, the crown of being that ruthless and most powerful Alpha of the pack that everyone is warry, hated, and scared of. Things that he wanted and at the same time not. His salvation and sentence. For he is the demon that the prophecy is foretold, the one who can eradicate everyone in one bloody night of war.

“Who do they think I am? They have been pampering me all this time for the past decade. Letting me do what I wanted, leaving my pack in peace, and for what? In exchange for my silence and requesting for me to stay low and a good boy.”

He then laughs at those words and facts. For ten years that he endures and stayed silent. Knowing that he is too young back then with his wolf that is a hellish demon that is torturing him for fun. His obedience despite everyone's thinking that he is just keeping his watch and anytime will strike when he deems it to be. His title and his wolf’s demon paid him enough of the pain, trouble, and security. But right now, the time had finally come. He can be free and that freedom is what he is wanting all his life. All that he needed is that person, that perfect Luna.

“Enough is enough. Now that I have the answer to this hellish curse, why do I need to hold back? Knowing that no one could defy my world and my request after a decade.”

“In short, you will wage a war if your desire is not given.”

“Exactly.”

Lance smirks, the beta and the continent’s youngest one and one of the most powerful men with his wolf that can par with the Silver Hound Pack’s Alpha, Alpha Reid. His trusted ally, best friend, and someone that shares a glimpse of his curse, along with the other six of his commanders.

“Alright, you are our Alpha and as your subordinate, I need to follow your wish. So, should we proceed? Besides, everything is already set. The message had been delivered. Now, what is your command?”

“Let’s head out right now. Let’s take the big bikes, and only bring two of the commanders. That number is enough. For I will personally hunt my future wife, my ticket out from this curse.”

Reddish brown hair that when the sun shines on the lock of his hair, a crimson hue will draw as an illusion. With his auburn red eyes just like the autumn and the dawn of the day. He smirks, drawing a sinister grin, with his name called.

“As you wish, Alpha Ryder.”

RYDER’S breathing is heavy. His heart is beating like crazy and his demon of a wolf is going crazy. He’s gritting his teeth while calming his nerves, but he is more than failing to do so. His wolf, his demon, and his dark buddy are screaming from deep inside of him to claim, ravage, and take the person right in front of him.

‘LUNA’.

His wolf calls. Growling and in the heat with the insatiable hunger for lust and desire to take that unfortunate, no, the one that he comes across and perfectly by destiny to own. The silver-haired and greyish eyes lady that he is pinning unto the wall and aggressively struggling to break loose from him. That fragile one that his wolf is now howling for the desire to have her.

“Let me go.”

“Feisty. Just like what I wanted for my Luna.”

“Luna?”

Those puzzled, but fierce gaze from her. The unlikely lady and just a moment ago a damsel in distress that he just did a favor and saved her from those ruffians. But to the turn of events, he somewhat becomes the ruffian in her eyes.

“Silver hair and grey eyes. Now, who are you among the twins of this pack?”

“Twins? What do you want?”

That firm response that Ryder is loving and getting him more than interested her. His Luna’s guard and eyes that has no trace of being scared or anything. Instead, she is having a look that is challenging him. Her face, her eyes, and now her very being that he is more than wanting.

“Simple. You.”

Ruffian to be called and more than a positive stance to be an enemy and a pervert in front of her. Ryder didn’t think nor care about those things or those thoughts. For his wolf screams and his entire being surrenders from his lust. He slams his lips to her while still firmly holding both writs with his left hand up and pinning her back to the wall. She tries to struggle and push him away, but she is just too light and a woman in comparison to his strength and being a big man like him.

His right-hand travels to her back while he is deepening his kiss. Exploring every crevice of her mouth and giving her a hard time breathing. He let go for a second or two before slamming his lips back and this time marking his territory. His right-hand traces to her neck and down to her waist. Sliding his hand inside her jacket he made her jolt by the sheer touch of his hand while he is now playing with her breast and gently caressing them. Her pheromone is getting stronger which means, she’s slowly starting to get wet and in heat. He pulled her sweatpants down and touches her down and in between her legs which made her beg and whisper.

“Please, stop.”

Flustered and catching her breath, he smirks and whispers.

“Unfortunately, I can’t. I want you and whole right now.”
