The Alpha's Lost Mate

Chapter 2

Anna still waited to hear those words from him. She screamed at herself inwardly for those words that escaped her lips. Even standing before him was trouble itself... she had to leave and she knew that.

Yet her stupid lips caused her to say those words to him. Curse you, Annalisa!

"Miss Patro...?" A contralto voice called out and she was quick to whirl her head away from the gorgeous man she bumped into.

He never tore his ocean-blue eyes away from her as his ears took in her name. Patro...?

That meant she wasn't the person he has been looking for. The only thing that ran through his mind was how two different people wore the same scent...

Besides, this woman started to bleed immediately after she hit the floor. This spelled her identity as a human. Nonetheless, he should stop fretting about the little thing a being like her did as he was superior.

He turned around and continued to head to where he was going. The people behind him had their heads slowly raised before they trailed behind him quickly. They could sense that he was still angry, so they dared not be even a millisecond late if they wanted their heads still attached to their bodies.

"Yes...?" She turned her head to face the woman with an aggravated look on her face. One would tell that she was about to rant at this woman but she suddenly kept calm.

"Please, this way." The middle-aged woman spoke in a calm, professional voice as she pointed in the direction they were to go.

Anna sighed before pointing at her nose, sending a questioning look to the woman.

"Please, this way ma'am." The woman insisted, before turning around in a composed manner.

Annalisa sighed before turning her head in the direction the man stood in earlier. She paused in confusion before turning her head to look at the woman who had stopped some meters away from her.

She pointed in the same direction where that stranger stood again before narrowing her eyes on the spot. If she had a chance to meet him again, she would sue him for this! Anna concluded following the woman who came to pick her up.

— Inside a private jet...

"Find more information about that woman, instantly." His deep voice commanded as he dropped his left hand that held a stick of cigarette.

The burning end of the cigar had a wisp of smoke spiraling into nothingness.

The woman who he gave the order bowed without daring to refute his command. She raised her head and jerked it in the direction of the two men who wore dark suits and sunglasses.

They nodded before walking out of the room to somewhere more private.

"It's been a long time." She heard his voice before turning to stare at him wide-eyed.

Was he talking... to her?

"Pardon...?"

"Be fast about your findings." He had turned his head in the realization that someone heard him thinking aloud.

The woman hastily bowed before saying yes. She rushed out of the room because the air around him ordered her to do so. She didn't know why someone like him would never get tired of being this fearful of others.

The cell phone vibrated thrice and a pale hand picked it up from the bedpost. They belonged to a pale-looking, blonde woman who sniffed as she picked up the call, before listening to what was being said at the other end.

Her chestnut-brown eyes turned frigid as she listened to the information given to her, and her grip on the phone tightened.

She had tried her best to make sure that no one ever crossed paths with him or make him desire them. But another person just had to come from nowhere to ruin her plans of being the successful Luna of the Lockwood packs?

Not while she was still here!

Lorena Jaymes was the daughter of a known Beta in Knockway. Ten years ago when Knockway was still using the monarchical system of government, they had this fixed head of the highest pack in the City.

And that was the formal king of Knockway. Nobody knew what happened to the Alpha because all of a sudden Draven Lockwood rose to the throne.

The pack previously named the Skullbreakers transitioned as the Lockwood pack. Now, the all-powerful Alpha Draven demolished the rule of the monarchs and made Knockway use the same type of rule every neighboring country used, and that was democracy.

This was also one of the reasons why he was known in Knockway.

Draven Lockwood, the one who took down the monarchs... One of the most powerful Alphas in Knockway. And he was dashing too.

No wonder why this woman wanted to glue herself to him at all costs. She believed there was nobody that could fit him except herself.

Hearing about a strange woman hitting the person she wanted to get her angry. Each time it came to her thoughts, she had this urge to scratch that woman's face.

Lorena knew that she hadn't met Annalisa yet, or she had no idea who she was. But she couldn't help it.

She had tried to touch him, or even the hem of his blazer but he disliked it. Even though she was an arranged mate for him, and would be the one that was going to bare young heirs for him, she was treated like trash.

And that stranger had the guts to...

She clenched her fist while her brown eyes remained focused on nowhere exactly.

"Do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening." There was a sharp edge in her voice as she addressed her caller.

"Don't try to beg me, just do as I say and he's gonna be alright." As she said these words, a vicious smile appeared on her face. Her bright eyes fell on the direction of the bed.

On it was the body of a young boy torn to pieces. His eyes were closed as his head remained a decoration on the pillow.

Lorena sniggered and ended the call as she blinked before shrugging nonchalantly. She headed toward her walk-in closet, closing the door behind her.
