The Undeniable Alpha

CHAPTER 3: The Undeniable Throne

ASTON'S POV

Years after the incident.

The sound is blaring inside the bar. Humans are wild and careless for their actions. The room is full of smoke.

I was sitting comfortably alone when a girl wanted me, sat beside me.

I obviously can hear her thoughts. Such a naughty little girl...

"Hi," she greeted with a small smile. "Are you alone?"

I smirked and pull her waist to pull her closer. She liked it, of course.

"Am I looking too lonely?" I asked, trying to sound

She nodded surely and try to get more closer to me, making her massive chest crash in my shoulders.

Her plump red lips formed into a flirty smile. "No... But I think it will be a miss to let you just alone here..."

I smirked and raised my hand. "A tequila shot."

The woman smiled at me. "Lorrine," she gave me her hand.

"Easton," I greeted back. "But if you want, you can call me Aston in short."

"Aston huh," she nodded her head.

Another night of having fun with a mere human, huh? I am not even in the mood to do it, but I think she can relieve my stress.

Lorrine and I just talk random things like how hooked up starts. Like for formality, we need these essential conversations before asking...

"Do you want to go to your place or mine?"

"Yours would be lovely. I live faraway from here." I just told her.

"Lovely. Well, I will fix myself first," she told me before leaving.

I sighed and looked at my glass of beer. Getting laid tonight was not in the plan but at least, maybe I can think straight after a good fvck.

"Aston," Riley called me.

I glared on him the moment our eyes met. Oh, not today! "Not today."

"For how long will you keep this kind of behavior, Aston? You need to make a decision. The pack is waiting for you," Riley told me with so much concern in his eyes.

I just wrinkled my face. "Get out of here now. I am getting laid."

I will kill Riley if he really break the fun right now.

Riley didn't even move and just stare at me with pure disbelief— as if I am a complicated person.

"Riley, we can talk about this tomorrow, alright?" I smiled to be convincing. "Just... not now. Come on, don't spoil my night!" I chuckled on him.

"I am not spoiling your night... I am reminding you of responsibility. And again, you being in a bar wouldn't do good for your business–"

I sarcastically laughed to him. "Now you care about my business? You wouldn't get me that way, Riley!"

Now I am really getting angry. How could him just talk about my business like he actually carss... but in fact– he don't care. They all don't care about my life.

"I am so sorry, Aston. But we really need your answer—"

"Do you need an answer or do you already have a decision?" I sneered in him. "Get out and just look at me from afar. I said I don't want to do it ever again—"

"Why are you doing this to the pack, Easton Raoul? We need you right now..."

I stand up in annoyance. "I don't want to be the alpha," I rejected before walking away.

What's the point of walking away if he knows where I can possibly go? And it's irritating that I can't do anything about it.

I walk outside and took a pack of cigarette out when suddenly, I heard a loud voice.

Come on. I want a peaceful place! I was about to walk away when I heard a name.

"Thalia, your college expenses..."

"I know, uncle..."

"I told you– communication is something that we couldn't support later, Georgia! Now you gave Thalia a hope to have her dream!"

Thalia huh. I don't know why, but that is a memorable name for me.

That child I saved a decade ago is Thalia.

I looked at the girl. I think Thalia will be at this age if she grow up just fine. But I wonder if she's even alive.

I erased all of her memory but nightmares will be always after her.

"I will work, uncle... please allow me to do work. Part time— to pay for my own expenses please..."

"Let Thalia have her life, Georgia! The kid wanted to help..."

Both of the man dressed in a girl's outfit looks concern with the girl in front of them— Thalia.

Should I pay for her college expenses?

That will do— since money will be useless if I've ever come back to tribe.

I lift my hand to call Riley. He immediately respond.

"Pay for her college tuition under an anonymous donor. You know what to do," I told him and I left.

That child... is she even safe and sound right now?

I hope she is doing well because Thalia was the last person I saved as an alpha— the rest, I killed all of them.

I killed because I am a failed leader. After that incident, I just retired as an alpha and try to survive in the world just being me...

It was fun living in the world of humans. They are all greedy that's why they can be immediately swayed.

I can say living a boring and cycle life was fun. No risks and dying— everyone is just trying to survive.

Now they want me back because there alpha died and the pack needs a leader to protect them.

But sadly, I know to myself that I am not a protector. So I am rejecting Riley— he is also not a human and part of the pack.

I throw myself at the couch and started to drink. How could them take me back like nothing happened?

"Aston," Riley called me. "Why did you even help? Is it because her name is Thalia?"

"What? Why? Is it wrong to help?" I chuckled and go to my dining area.

I pull out a beer and gave Riley one. I hope he drinks it so he can finally shut up.

He looked at me, frustrated. "It's not like helping is bad— but you are helping every Thalia that you can meet!"

I glared on him. "Is it bad to help?" I repeat the question to him.

"No!"

I smirked. "Then shut up. I don't need your opinion..."

"But do you think, what you are doing is correct, Lazarus?" He asked.

I sighed. "Get out. I am tired," I shoo him away. I wanted to rest but surely Riley knows how to talk and get on my nerves.

"Don't drink anymore," he snatch my drink. "It's bad for your body..."

"What's bad in my body is you being here! Get out I said!"

"You should double your time, Aston. You're not getting any younger. Instead of trying to help any Thalia that you can meet, try to go out with these girls. They are fron a very rich family—"

"Get out!" I screamed on him. God, he is annoying!

Riley finally listened to me and get out. He told me to get myself a proper food and other reminders about self-care. As if I will do what he said! I know he is watching me!

Riley is people from my pack. I was an alpha before. I manage them with excellence until...

Humans invade our space.

We all died when humans invade the woods. The humans, without any mercy, kill my people in the form of wolves for an experiment.

They manage to get from my pack, they manage to kill, and countless injustice treatment in the name of science.

I shook my head. Even if I am just trying to remember everything— it felt horrible.

Now Riley want me back to the woods because my father couldn't handle the pack anymore. He doesn't have the same strength.

I snorted. As if that is the truth. I know that they are just trying to get me back... but I want my life right now.

Business, money, and being handsome helped me alot in surviving.

So I don't want to go back anymore. I am already happy and contented with what I have.

A year has already passed but Riley is still following me.

"The pack needs you—"

"I said I don't want to go back anymore! Can't you just hire another person to be your alpha?

I can't even have a date because he is following me without a shame!

"This is not your typical world where we can hire— being an alpha runs in the blood!"

"I said I don't want any responsibility anymore. I'd had enough."

"Please overcome your trauma for the pack, Aston... Also, this is the time you get married—"

"Not this again..." I hissed in annoyance. "Stop bothering me about life and being an alpha. I had enough. I only want life here and nothing else..."

"Aston, I will help you and guide with your actions... Allow me to help you overcome your fears..."

"That is a very nice offer," I chuckled. "But I still don't want it."

I am the only one who can overcome my fear and sadly— I still don't want to face it...

I am entering a bar when I saw a young lady banging her head against the door.

Is she wasted?

I just shrugged and entered the bar.

"Thalia!" Someone shouted before I even manage to enter the place fully.

I stopped amidst of walking. Thalia huh...

"What we will do now?" She asked.

Dang, I don't even know why I am listening.

"I don't know... I don't want to let go of this show..." I heard a sweet voice, almost crying.

"The boss is so mad at you. She wanted to talk–"

"Please! Don't let even the boss know that I am alive!" Thalia shrieked. "It was a fresh-graduate mistake! Why is she getting mad..."

I chuckled. What?

"What we will do now?" Her friend ask, worried.

Thalia grabbed the waist of her friend. "Why now? We are in the bar! We should have fun!"

Then she laughed.

I wonder if she looked like her... That child...

Since I am on the entrance, Thalia's arm met mine. We both look at each other.

I saw her eyes upclose– then the memory of the young Thalia showed up.

"Sorry," she apologize and continued walking.

While me? I literally freeze in shock. That eyes... that eyes was definitely Thalia! Her bround round eyes...

I tried to ran after her but people are with everyone already. I lost her...

"Riley!" I called her.

"What?"

"I saw her..."

I don't know why my heart is thumping— for excitement? Longing?

I am just excited to know that I saw her! This is the first time that I saw Thalia!

"Riley!" I called him, excited. "I saw Thalia... Thalia is here..."

Riley rolled his eyes. "Here you go again being obsessed with Thalia..."

"No!" I shook my head. "I definitely saw Thalia—"

"Enough, Aston..."

"No. I don't want too. I need to find her—"

Riley held my arms, stopping me from walking away in the pool of people. "And then what?"

"What?"

"What are you going to do? Will you tell her what happened before and you saved her?" Riley told me straight that pierce my heart. "As if she remembers you, Aston!"

I sighed. Riley really knows how to ruin the mood.

"I hope you can go back to the pack, Aston. We really need you. Your father can still do it— but he said it for himself that... He cannot do it."

"Just invest your money in a business. That's how you will survive here. Tell that to father if she want some normal life..."

"Aston..."

"I don't want to go back there anymore, Riley."

I am once an alpha who protected everyone– but now I am nothing but a business tycoon in human realm, and I like this way forever.
