natural.”

ORSELINE P.O.V

I tried calling Duncan again but it was of no use. I sighed because I didn’t have any of his pack mate’s numbers either. I… I just wanted him to talk to me once. Give me a chance to explain what I am doing and why I am doing it.

When I began my hunt for the Alpha’s, I never ever imagined that I would be known as O. O happened by chance, neither of us planned for O to happen. It just happened after the death of Alpha Herrick.

“I want to kill him. Kill them all” I growled loudly. After Cortez killed the rogue we were back in Alpha Peter’s office.

“Me too” Raven agreed.

“Same here” Tyson growled.

“Will you all calm down?” A voice louder than any of us growled. We all turned to look at Alpha Peter.

“Calm down, Dad?” Raven asked through gritted teeth. “Remy was killed by them and you expect me to calm down?” she asked him again. “Cortez has been waiting for thirteen years with no clue as to why his pack was attacked and now that we have the answer to it, you still expect us to calm down?”

“I agree with her. They are not going to stop until all such kids are dead. We need to find who the last two kids are and protect them” Granel said.

“They have gone way too far. Destroying a pack is unacceptable” Tyson stated. “We have to stop them. Put an end to their tyrant ruling” he said.

“I agree” I said.

“I can understand your feelings and-” Peter started but Raven cut him off.

“Do you dad?” she asked him. “Do you? Because if you did, you would have led us to attack them” she said growling.

“Enough” Alpha Peter growled at his daughter who flinched. “We want to kill them. Kill whom?” he thundered and I gulped at the power in his tone. “Do you know their names?” He asked and I realized what he was telling was the truth. We just knew Alpha Herrick the other names were still unknown to us. “Kill, Kill, Kill.” He growled raising his arms. “He has been saying the same thing from the past thirteen years…” he said nodding at Cortez who growled lowly “And now you all start it” he snapped.

“Killing someone is not a game. Especially killing an Alpha” he said through gritted teeth. “Only one of you is an Alpha” he said pointing his index at Granel, “The rest have not yet received their title” he said and we all lowered our heads. It was like a teacher yelling at his students. “Killing” he spat.

“Then what do we do?” Raven asked him.

“Wait” Cortez said glaring at Alpha Peter. “That is the best thing to do. Let’s wait thirteen more years” he said still glaring at Alpha Peter who was returning the glare. I knew his comment was a taunt for Alpha Peter. Anyone could sense the tension in the room. So many Alpha bloods in a same room are never good thing. It is something you rarely find because Alpha wolves are very dominating and they like others to obey and follow them. When someone with same position and title are next to them they try to suppress them. It is the way we are.

“Do not talk to me with that tone boy” Alpha Peter warned Cortez who just rolled his eyes. “You seem to be the sensible one, try putting some sense into their heads” he said to Tyler who was quite until now.

Tyler sighed and looked at us, mostly me and Tyson. “He has a point” he said his gaze travelling to Alpha Peter. “If we don’t know who our enemies are then what do we do?” Tyler asked cocking an eyebrow.

“Now listen here everyone” Alpha Peter began. “We are not beginning from a zero here because we all know Alpha Herrick is involved” he said and a growl escaped from my chest at the mention of Alpha Herrick’s name. I just wanted to kill him. “And that is a good thing for us” he added. “But not a great thing” he concluded. “Do you pups seriously think that the Alpha’s who are involved in the crime, did it without any plan? Do you think they decided to hire rogues in the morning to attack the same night?” he snarled. “No, they didn’t. They planned each and every step. They planned it so carefully that they made sure their names were not involved. Thirteen years and still nobody knows who they are. It was due to Goddess wish that now, we know one of them and so we have to make a careful and perfect move” he pointed out. “And that is what we are going to do” he said. “We are going to plan. We are going to plan and do it perfectly. But first we have to wait. Three of you are about to get the Alpha titles soon and I want that to happen. The next time we meet, I want you all with your titles” he said his tone final. “You can go now” he said and we all looked at him like he had lost his head.

“Are you crazy?” I asked him with a growl.

“No. I am the one who is actually thinking something here unlike you get-up-and-go attitude filled lot” he snapped at me and I growled loudly.

“Leave” he commanded to all of us and every one of us except Tyler growled at him.

“Let’s go” Tyler said and held my elbows. I saw Cortez who was still glaring at Alpha Peter while Granel was dragging Raven out.

“One more thing” Alpha Peter said and we all stopped in our tracks. “If any one of you does something stupid in the mean time I will kill you with my bare hands” he said revealing his canines aggressively. We all knew that he meant what he said.

And like Alpha Peter had ordered we waited for four months. In those four months, we all stayed in touch with each other. I and Raven became good friends at that time. It was a little awkward between us at first but as time passed by we both realized we are a lot alike and then we became good friends. Raven was not a blonde, she actually had dark hair but she colored her hair into blonde because she liked it.

Alpha Peter handed the title to Cortez who he considered was the heir to the title. Cortez was reluctant to accept it since he was originally the member of the Elegance Pack and he was supposed to be the Alpha of that pack. Cortez even tried to convince Raven to take the title but she knew that she had to leave the pack to be with Granel and so she refused to take the title. Finally on Cortez’s 22nd birthday, the title was handed to him. He officially became the Alpha of the Moreland Pack.

My pa handed me the title on my eighteenth birthday but Uncle Grier didn’t. He didn’t hand over his title to Twin bro’s at all. When asked he said he is fit and fine and he can still take care of the pack. He said his sons were not worthy for the title yet and that he would hand it to them when they turn twenty one. None of us were okay with his stupid idea and we didn’t even try to hide our unhappiness however uncle Grier didn’t seemed to be perturbed by it at all.

But we also knew that what he did shouldn’t come in between us and so we all met again, four months later in Alpha Peter’s office.

By the time all of us had grown confortable around each other and our ego’s and titles were not a problem for us. Alpha Peter was extremely happy to see this.

“Welcome Alpha’s” he said to us grinning and we all lowered our heads. Even though he was not an Alpha anymore he was still our mentor. “I will say that I am pleased to see you all together without glaring at each other” he said. “But first things first. Alpha Herrick’s son Austin turned eleven last week”

“So?” I asked him.

“He is an Alpha Blood” was all Alpha Peter said.

“Is he…?” Raven asked not able to continue her question. Alpha Peter nodded once and we all had a disbelief expression in our face. How? How can his own son be gifted?

“You mean he is going to kill his own son?” Granel asked shocked after few minutes.

“For his survival, yes, he will” Alpha Peter replied.

“Callous Bastard” Tyson muttered.

“They will wait until Austin receives his gift. They will kill him only after he gets his gift and so you kids have to protect Austin” Alpha Peter said and we all growled. “Right, sorry, you young and strong “Alpha’s” have to protect him” he said using quotes on Alpha’s.
