LOVE ME KILL ME

07: THE ALPHA'S ORDER 2

Jake Mendrez, carried by his courage, hurriedly went outside after bidding farewell to Janus Marasigan and Rick Suarez. The two of them also started to walk outside, but their pace was rather calm and unhurried.

"Are you sure you can finish this task with the soldiers?" Rick Suarez started.

Janus Marasigan's brows rose up,

"It would be better if there were only a few soldiers; if there were more, we might be able to hold out longer."

"True enough." Rick Suarez agreed.

Mendrez family's soldiers was in the northeast. The closest one was the Boras family since they were situated in the northwest; These two groups will be going to Davao in which rouges, made robbery and killed some innocent shifters including humans; however, it would still take them two weeks to arrive in Davao City.

Once again, Rick Suarez asked Janus Marasigan.

"Will you go today or tomorrow?"

"Today,"

Janus Marasigan answered. While they were talking, they had reached the palace gate, and she mounted up his horses that he had prepared earlier.

"So you too have readied yourself."

Jake Suarez also mounted his horse.

"Want to go together? Our destination is the same." he added

The three of them needed to go to one part of the border to follow the lead of their soldiers, so it was not wrong to say that their first destination was the same. They would only part ways when they were about to go to the chosen city.

Janus Marasigan's brows rose. Why would this shifter start talking to him all of a sudden? He could not recall having had any interaction with him before. However, Janus Marasigan never paid attention to it. But before he left, The young boy cleaner of the pack house appeared in front of him and said, "Good luck". Then handed over a wrapped meal made of flour.

"I bought it at a bakery for you."

The young boy said, but honestly, Alice Marasigan, as Janus today, was thinking of him as something weird. Janus doesn't eat a lot of food from human food or shifters; he only vomits when he eats too much.

"Thank you," Janus said. Then the boy smiled and left her.

The same with him; Janus Marasigan also ignored Rick Suarez. but both of their speeds were about the same, which made them stay side by side.

The two generals immediately set out on their journey with horses, swords, and baggage. Behind them followed a number of shifters to support them during the attack. Janus Marasigan started to head down a different path when Rick Suarez suddenly spoke again.

"Do you want to bet with me?"

Janus Marasigan stared at Rick Suarez in confusion. What was this general saying? Janus was the one he chose to fight, even though he is small and young. However, if Janus will use the blade in her hand, this old shifter won't take a few seconds to get another breath. Also, If Jake Mendrez heard his request, he would surely have another urge to strangle him.

"Sure, that will happen if I make it back home alive." Janus replied.

"We are just going to our destination, but you are too far ahead to think. Are you hiding something?" Rick Suarez asked with confusion; he is not sure, but he felt something wrong about Janus Marasigan today.

"Just make sure you and your soldiers return alive" Janus's much-concerned response. He wanted to stop talking so he could think of some good ideas ahead of time.

"Alright, I'll bet you this time, just a simple one; let's see who can return home first."

Janus Marasigan stared back at him and said,

"What if Jake Mendrez comes first?"

"He won't. He doesn't have the capability." Rick Suarez spoke confidently.

Janus Marasigan's first impression of this general is so arrogant. It was one thing that he was capable of, but another thing is to shamelessly look down on someone. However, from the way he talked, Janus noticed something.

"And you think I can?"

"Maybe." Rick Suarez's lips curled up, forming a devilish smile. Along with his extremely handsome face, his appearance would surely shoot down countless female shifters. Unfortunately, Janus Marasigan was not one to be captivated by a mere handsome face that easily.

"So what is the reward and punishment?" Janus Marasigan chose to concede and listen to what this general shifter wanted to propose. If it's interesting enough, then why not try?

"If I win, treat me for a drink."

This general shifter way of thinking was truly out of the ordinary. Janus Marasigan felt like she had to raise her hand in defeat. She thought Rick Suarez would propose something serious, but it felt like this bet was just a game that wouldn't really hurt either of them, if either one of them lost.

"I'm underage."

"I forgot, you're just a teen shifter in this generation." Rick Suarez ignored the deathly stare Janus Marasigan had given him as he thought of another way:

"Then just a meal for you."

"Sure," Janus answered right away.

"Be prepared for a jar of coins, then."

"Oh, you're sure that you can win? It's not that easy, little warrior." Rick Suarez grinned and stared at Janus Marasigan's small stature.

"Besides, with that small body, how can you eat so much?" he added.

"Of course I can! I'm still in my growing-up stage."

Rick Suarez laughed.

Janus Marasigan really has the urge to beat the crap out of Rick. This general's mouth is truly sharp and deathly. If he had a chance to talk to him any longer, he felt that he could lose his inner wolf self-control and start attacking instead.

"You're an interesting little warrior. I will be waiting for your performance."

Janus Marasigan didn't talk anymore; instead, he focused all of his attention on his horses. Beside him, Rick Suarez also paced his horse and gained more speed. Both of them continued like this for days before they arrived at the border.

Janus Marasigan was quite exhausted from not sleeping the entire journey.

With the blood as a half-wolf is not strong enough. On the other hand, Rick Suarez still looked fine. She had to admit that this general shifter strength was indeed remarkable, and a small girl like her could not hope to compare. Nevertheless, she, as a male soldier now, still needed to hold on, so she turned her head to the leading commander, Walter Guto.
