Chapter One. Alvaro’s Point Of View. “To be quite honest with you I have absolutely no feelings for you whatsoever. Do not expect any love from me nor any chance of me developing actual feelings for you. Taking all I’ve said into account, would you marry me?” The words left my mouth in an honestly somewhat bored and annoyed manner but that’s probably because I really was bored so no one can really fault me for that Eyes wide as saucers, mouth slightly agape and chest frozen still as if holding in her breath …that’s pretty much all I could get from her. I observed her for a second longer but had no patience to wait for her response and also had no interest in repeating myself so I just mumbled a “never mind” and started to turn around with the plan of leaving the room. Her hand was cold as her nails slightly clawed into my flesh as she grabbed my forearm to keep me in the room with her. “i'll do it alpha, I will marry you,” Her high pitched voice squalled with Glee as she threw herself at me. “you made the right decision alpha …you’ll never regret it,” she rushed out as she awkwardly removed herself from me. The awkward silence was slowly getting overwhelming thus I decided to excuse myself and left the room. Ok…I know what you are probably thinking, I am rude and irrational for proposing marriage like that and then being dismissive of my new fiancé but it is just how I am and I won’t be changing anytime soon. You might be wondering why even propose marriage to her since I am clearly not interested in her but it’s simple…my wolf needs a mate. I shut my office door and welcomed the much-appreciated silence. my hands made slow circular movements along my temples as I tried to relax myself. My chest felt tight and constricted beyond measure. I could feel my wolf struggling to remain calm. He was angry…he is always angry. A tormented raging animal, that is what he was, and keeping him in control was getting harder and harder each day. My demons were haunting me and he was the commander and chief, ever since my first shift I’ve been fighting... fighting him, fighting the world, trying to tame him and be in control. Sometimes I failed to control him and those times are no way to make a good impression. "Greetings Alpha Creed, beta Felicia told me to wait here for you…I need your help" My head lifted up as I looked over the corner of my office to see a man patiently waiting for me. That's when I remembered that Felicia scheduled a meeting with me and some random beta . He spoke with respect and a slight c***k in his voice. I could not help but notice the undeniable uneasiness that could be detected from his body language. His feet were weirdly positioned in the direction of the door as If he subconsciously feels the need to be ready to bolt out of the office at any instance. “ Frankly speaking, you do not look like someone who actually wants to be here, talk less of actually asking help from me. Do not waste my time go straight to the point…what is the issue, why come here, what kind of help do you need and exactly why do you think I would actually, help you?" his lips were frozen still, and no words left his mouth as if trying to pick his words very carefully. *bang!* his head snapped up wide and startled eyes hit mine for a brief second as an impulse response to me banging my hand on the mahogany table. “you take a seat, breath, and make precise statements or you leave my presence at once, that is how this will work” I took in a deep calming breath as the words came out in a somewhat harsh, matter of fact tone but I couldn’t be bothered to care any less. He sat with great urgency and proceeded to speak “he r*ped my mate… he abuses the pack members. It’s Morden day s*****y, your majesty, purely just petrifying. Alpha Joshua has been ruling the pack with absolute hate and malice. All kids nine and up have been forced into child labour. The omegas are beaten, abused, and r*ped by him and his followers. The only reas…,” My hand was instantly up to cut him off mid-sentence. Slowly I rose from my chair, I could feel his heartbeat pulsating with great speed as his chest harshly moved up and down. It was no shock that he feared me. they all somewhat feared me and I didn’t blame them…I fear myself too sometimes, not really myself, more like what I am capable of. “repeat that but slower this time…start at the part about kids and then something about r**e,” I calmly forced the words out as I walked to my mini-fridge to grab myself some water bottles. I could feel the slight pain in my head but I ignored it as usual. Giving in to my inner beast would be catastrophic thus I held him at bay and tried to remain in control of him. “Well Ummm…your majesty the alpha has forced all pups over nine into child labour. He and his followers mistreat, r**e, and abuse the omegas,” I listened carefully, waited till he was done, and took a big gulp of water to bring myself some sense of calm. I couldn’t help but question some of his stories. Why is he only seeking help now, why he would let his pack members suffer through all this mistreatment. What is his involvement in all this and exactly how does his mate get rapped especially with him being beta, the questions were flowing out of me in waves. “speak!” I shouted out In a moment of fury. “ The only reason that I am even beta is because of my blood. I just took over after my father who was unfortunately just as bad as the alpha. I was unaware of how bad things were until I found my mate,” he paused for a moment, his shoulders slumping down a bit more as a result of his shame and disappointment within himself. A deep breath was enough to continue on with what he was previously explaining. The underlying fury embedded in his voice somewhat took me off guard but it was nothing compared to the rage boiling up inside of me. “ I was ignorant of how dire the situation at hand is. My mate opened my eyes and showed me the truth for she too is an Omega which means she has first-hand experience with the whole abuse and cruelty. I couldn’t protect her, I couldn’t protect my pack …I want to try, but I know if I go at it alone I’ll lose and perish. Basically I am just asking for a little backup,” He paused for only but a second before he continued talking. “With all due respect, your majesty, I don’t know about you but I personally can’t live without myself if I do not do anything to help . The kids do gruesome and intensive manual labour, some are forced to train as warriors and die in training due to a number of reasons ,one of them being starvation. The sacred bonds between mates is broken on a daily basis as women are abused and violated as if they are worthless creatures,” the words coming out of his lips were fuelled with rage ,disgust and shame. I looked into his eyes. I couldn't believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. How the hell was I supposed to rein in my beast when I too was an overwhelming magnitude of this rage. I could feel it continuously burning through my calm demeanor. “ OK, I heard you… I’ve listened to what you had to say so what exactly is your plan ?" He seemed to be deep in thought and slowly taking my words in but I didn’t give him a chance. “Get out! , Get the hell out!” I calmly forced out but he didn’t listen and tried to open his mouth to voice something out. “I said get the hell out of my sight, I will not repeat myself again…,” he was out my face the exact moment the words left my mouth. The utter terror in his face fuelled my wolf’s hunger. Unlike most werewolves who experience their first shift at fifteen years of age, I shifted on the same day that I was born. My wolf…he is a sore subject and an instrument of destruction and I wasn’t willing to stop him …he wanted blood and so did I. Bringing pain and terror upon all thy enemies…that was the goal. Blood and death …that was what could and would soothe the anger burning within me. The moon goddess gave me a blood thirsty beast for a wolf ,years of being trapped with a raging beast does something to a person. It changes you, corrupts your soul and diminishes your humanity… at least that is what happened to me for I am more beast than man. Mercy be damned for none shall be given!
