Chapter One: HIM
" Jedrek... Jedrek... Are you with me?"
The voice pulls me out of my thought. it was my best friend, my brother and my beta, Ekon
" What is wrong with you lately" he questioned. I didn't respond.
l just looked at him. Releasing a deep sigh. which I thought may release my anger.
Lately, I have been out of my usual.
We have been attacked randomly by rouges as I said they were random attacks which were so suspicious. Hit and run. That's was it. They hurt no one not even on borderline guardian. They didn't take anything. I am confused if I should rest or .. I don't something is just not right.
My whole life is about my pack. I became an Alpha 4 years ago after my father died in one of the famous rouges war. Since then, I spent every minute of it protecting my pack they were my number one priority.
Those attacks are settling up a fire inside me. It made me feel as if I am failing in my only mission. My pack safety.
"Jedrek... We have to go to the baron now"
If anyone else was calling me with my first name without saying Alpha I would get his throat in my hand within a second but he was the only man in the earth that I can and always count on him. He is like a brother from another mother to me. Diapers mates.
I know look frustrated. I didn't want to go to the baron. he is a selfish arrogant hideous man who only cares for himself and only him.
but Ekon is right we have to go. he is the owner of the land beyond our territory. one deal with him and we can protect the east side or at least that is what I thought.
"I know you don't want to meet the baron but our pack comes first as you always say." Ekon pointed out.
"If he did NOT accept the truce, I will ¬," I said gritting on my teeth. but Ekon interrupted me
" believe me he will he. He needs it more than we do. You are one of the greatest Alpha I have ever seen. he is afraid more than ever"
I stand up determinedly " Fine let's go. I hope you are right about this meeting would change anything"
But it would never cross my mind that it would change everything... Everything Literally...
-------------------------------------
We got there to the baron's mansion
Our packhouse was much bigger as we are more than 500 men, women and children but everything here looks filthy rich, it speaks for its owner. baron likes to brag... ALOT actually
My wolf Jed was spinning inside my head, excited. I didn't know what the hell is wrong with him.
As we entered.. it hits me... HARD
That scent... It's like thousands of heaven... A mix of lavender, vanilla, and chocolate.. a million days of a picnic in a field of flowers.
"Aaaoooowwww" my wolf howled over and over.. I feel scattered I'd smell this scent for the rest of my life. Did heavens open its gates?
The baron came is a white suit with a white shining shoe-wearing this gold necklace around his short almost non-existent nick he is about 5'2 ft may be less
"Welcome to my modest house"
He shakes our hands saying " though ...this is one of the smallest of mine but I feel homey here" he grinned. Okay, it's final, I'm gonna throw up.
I really hate his gut. as my wolf was busy acting crazy, he leads us to his office.
2 hours talking s**t of his with millions of time Ekon trying to control my temper to not kill him right here.. on his desk.. with this smug smile of his.
But finally, the truce is on
" Jedrek."l glance at him angrily
Jed said in my head" Did he just called us with our first name.. Kill him now" my eye start to blacken... Jed tried to talk control but I got it.
" I mean Alpha Jedrek as the truce is on I am already having a ball party tonight let's sealed our truce."
"it would be a pleasure but unfortunately the road takes 2 hours more or less so we have to go back". I said while getting ready to leave.
" Alpha Jedrek, you are insulting me, I know you care for your pack but calling off my invitation is not a good thing... I don't and will not appreciate that"
Jed " is he threatening us?" I am trying to get Jed not to come out. Oh god, I wish I let him.
I tensed and voiced out Jed " Are you threatening me baron? " grinding on my teeth.
He smiled smugly saying slowly " I wouldn't dare, Alpha. Jed-rek"
Ekon tries to smooth the things out "it'd be our pleasure baron but as you see we are not prepared and ¬".
Baron interrupted Ekon rudely "everything is prepared dear Ekon just tell the servant your size and your tuxedos they 'll be ready in minutes".
As he exactly said in minutes they lead us to change rooms we were and in 10 minutes we were waiting for baron downstairs
"I don't like this. I like to be prepared... His rush worries me" telling Ekon worryingly
"Jedrek... When was the last time you relaxed or go for a vacation?"
"umm like ever. I am alpha Ekon, there is no time out of being on Alpha duty"
"then relax it's just a party if you didn't like the flow then we will go.. Fine with you? "
I nod... But still, there is that thing in my chest telling me that is something is going to happen... I don't know maybe this scent playing with my head, the craziness of Jed and his howling all around.. Yet Ekon is right there is no wrong if I get relaxed a little...
Even though my heart was right... My wolf was right... That was then the scent hit me this time strongly.
And I saw.. I saw her...
