Chapter 1
Alpha Maximus
I wake up to feeling extremely hot and irritated, the beeping of the alarm added to my frustration. I'm not usually the type to sleep in, but this time I had to. It is not easy running a conglomerate and a pack at the same time -not that I'm complaining but it can be tiring sometimes.
I am Maximus Kent, to the outside world I am a billionaire who owns an airline and chain of luxury stores, but I like to call my self a successful billionaire. I'm not letting all that get into my head. To the supernatural I am the Black Alpha of Blood-howl pack and I'm very known for my cold and ruthless nature as I would do anything and kill anyone that endangers my pack. Blood-howl is my home and I would do everything to protect it.
I get out of bed naked. I always slept naked as werewolves run hot naturally. It is already 6:00am in the morning and I had to go for a run. I quickly put on my boxers as i mind link Aiden my beta.
"Morning. I'm going for a run, get ready to brief me about the rouge issue once I get back."
"Sure thing Alpha." His voice boomed in my head.
"Are you ready Leo?" I asked Leonardo my wolf. He didn't bother to reply me. He just took over my body and soon bones were snapping and I shifted into my gigantic wolf. That egoistic son of a b***h. I scoffed in my head.
Testing my self on all fours. I hopped into action. It is going to be a long run.
------------------------
After running for an hour I was back at the pack house. Aiden was already waiting for me in my office. I entered the office and was greeted by the smell of s*x. Aiden did it last night. Again!. That SOB cannot seem to get enough of his mate. The word mate rang in my head but now is not the time.
"Speak. How is everything going at the border" I asked, my voice cold as ice.
" The guards and I trace their scent up to the northern border, and we discovered they were just passing by. They are just two in number and their prints shows that they are still pups. It is safe to say there is nothing to worry about for now." Aiden replied smirking. He knows I can smell him.
"Alright, make sure you tighten the security around the borders and tell them to be vigilant at all times. Also, pups should not be allowed to wander about on their own just to be safe."
"The rouge pups might come back trying to make friends with them when no one is watching" I replied, not sure of what was going on but something feels off. Now is not the time.
"I guess that is all, I need to prepare for office." I say standing up.
I opened the door to be met by Isabel, Aiden's mate.
"Good morning Alpha." She greeted me and blushed as she sighted Aiden.
"Morning Isa." I said monotone. I'm so tired of this already.
"You look good babes and you smell good too" Aiden gives Isa a compliment, making sure to whisper the last part, Isa blush even further lowering her gaze from me.
"Thank you, you look good too" Isa managed to say. I could tell she was embarrassed with me around.
Aiden is one shameless bastard. Can't blame him though, even the blind can see how much he loves Isa.
Aiden met Isabella three years ago when we where on a business meeting up north, and they were all over each other immediately they realized they were mates. If I remembered correctly, they almost had s*x in the conference room and since then they have been inseparable.
I know that is how you feel when you meet your mate. The moon goddess made it that way. You are destined to be with your beloved, your soul mate. This person will be your everything, your other half that will complete your missing link and will make you feel loved on another level.
I grew up seeing my parents that way, my dad was happy whenever he saw my mom and vice versa. He would not go anywhere without her. We were one big happy family untill we were under attack. A pack of rouge attacked us all on the celebration of the moon festival when we least expected. The attack took the life of my mom and I saw how that that totally destroyed my dad. He became a shell of himself and took his life a year later. I was only nineteen at the time and had to bare the weight of the pack and the business all by myself.
Ever since then, I've been cold and ruthless and made my warriors brutal because family comes first and I will not let what happened to my parents repeat it self. My ruthless nature brought me fame in the world of the supernatural and everyone know the Black Alpha and the Blood-howl pack cannot be messed with.
But deep down I really wanted a mate, even though I don't show emotion and I am always angry. I really wanted someone to fill this empty void in me, someone to share my sorrows and happiness, and someone who will love me unconditionally. But it seems the moon goddess was not being kind enough to give me one.
Maybe I'm not destined to have a mate because I have too many blood on my hands. Maybe I don't deserve any happiness for being too cruel.
I straighten my back as I walk out of the pack office as I needed to get ready for work. Pushing the thought about my mate to one corner of my mind. I really hope I find her soon because I am slowly loosing my sanity and it will only take a while before I go completely insane.
