The Werewolf Hunter

Chapter 7- In Between Duty

Kaden's POV

"Don't let us keep dying," were my father's last words.

I had spent a whole day with no sleep, no food, and no talking to everyone, not even Kero.

I was sitting alone in my room when someone knocked at the door.

"I'm not ready for anyone, yet," I said.

"Anyone at all, even your mate?"

It was Charity's voice. I recognized her voice right away.

Charity is supposed to be my mate, but she was kind of forced on me, I never really liked her.

My dad always said, "Charity is good for you. She is one of our own and devoted to our course."

But a few weeks before our incident with the UA. Charity and I fought. She had tried to have s*x with me but I wasn't in the mood. After trying for minutes, she got annoyed and stood up.

"What's wrong with you, am I not good enough for you? Are you that special that a woman needs to beg you to spend time with you?" She had huffed in annoyance.

I had sat on my bed and watched her as she blabbed on.

"I try everything possible to make you want to touch me, to even kiss me but no, you are never in the mood. You can never be compelled. What are you, an infidel?" She'd asked, confused.

Immediately I had heard this, my head sparked and quickly, I stood up, "What did you say?" I asked.

"Are you an infidel?" She'd repeated. "Cause you're behaving like one. It's against the customs to not even want to touch your mate!"

My anger was aroused and my eyes began to glow.

When she saw it, she'd brought out her claws and stood like she was ready for a fight. Charity was a very violent werewolf that the only languages she understands are kill, fight, and s*x.

So, when she took out her claws, right away I fled up and grabbed her by the neck and pressed her against the wall till she began to choke.

"You will stay away from me and don't let me see you again, I will slit your throat," I had said to her angrily. Then I let go of her neck. Immediately, she took off from my room, and haven't set my eyes on her since then.

After remaining silent for a few seconds, I finally got up and opened the door for her.

Immediately she saw me she hugged me and kissed me.

"Aww, my love I'm so sorry," she said.

I walked back to my room and sat on the bed. She walked in with me and held my hands.

"I heard what happened, I hope you know I'm always here for you," she said.

"I do," I replied with a straight face.

She began to touch me romantically and seductively.

While she was doing what she was, all I could think about was how the girl I liked murdered my father.

Filled with anger again, I needed something to take my mind off her.

I started kissing Charity, caressing her body while she moaned softly.

I won't lie, I've never seen a girl who likes to have s*x like Charity. It's almost like that's the only way she knows how to show love.

We had very wonderful s*x. I must confess, that it even took my mind off everything that happened then, I finally had that sleep I haven't been able to find.

I slept so well. I woke up in the afternoon after sleeping in the morning.

I met a plate of food on the table and Charity walked into the room with wine and glass cups.

"What's all these for?" I asked.

"Is making someone I care for feel so good such a bad thing?" She replied.

"Not at all," I replied.

She then popped the whine and poured it into the cups while I opened the plate and met the plate filled with meat only.

Charity knew I liked meat a lot. All this care and attention seemed too good to be true but what do I care, I had to finish the meat off before she changed her mind.

We both ate the meat together, drank, and laughed together.

Since I got into a relationship with Charity, this was the first time we were happy being together.

I turned to the side of the bed, picked up my phone, and called Simon.

"Hello, Kaden, how are you? No one has seen or heard from you since yesterday." Simon said.

"Yeah, I am good. Tell everyone to meet me at the river bank behind my house so I can send my dad's body to rest." I said.

"Kaden, are you sure about this?" He said.

"Of course I am. And Simon get someone to join you in making an altar there, so I can burn my dad's body on it," I said.

"Yes sir," he replied.

Then I ended the call and sat on the bed for a moment without saying anything. I was already getting used to being a leader. I was in my thoughts and I almost forgot Charity was still in the room with me.

"Kaden, are you sure about this?" She said.

"About what?" I asked.

"About your father, are you even ready?" She asked.

"The earlier I do it the faster I heal. Moreover, we have a lot of work to do. The UA is ahead of us in this fight," I said and lay on the bed.

Charity lay beside me and placed her hand on my chest. She was my comfort in this time of distress.

It was already dark and time for the event I called for. Everyone gathered before the altar that had been staged with my father's dead body on it.

"My father......" I said and sniffed.

Seeing me struggling, Charity didn't hesitate to come up and hold my hand.

"I'm here for you." she said softly.

"My father, all his life, fought for our kind and died fighting for our kind. We had our differences but he never stopped being our Alpha. My father told me that being an alpha isn't royalty but merit so, I'm not expecting the alpha position to be passed to me. It should be passed to whoever deserves it and our ancestors will be the judge of that. While my father was dying all he kept on muttering was 'don't let us keep dying' and I plan to fulfil his dying orders alpha or not. Until then, the mystic shadows lives," I said in one breath and torched the stick I was holding.

"Rest on dad," I said then I placed the torched stick on the altar and every one of us watched as my dad's body burnt away.
