Chapter four: The lycan command
" Have you sent my response to the Bloodmoon pack?" I asked my second commander, Alpha Ernest, who caught me bothering around my office about the stranger I had a one-night stand at the pub.
" Yes, my Lord. I did as quick as I heard the orderAlpha Ernest bowed and said.
" Good!"
I am the king of the Lycans, the strongest, bravest, and most dangerous Lycan in the City. I rule over the Nightwind pack, and I take no shit from nobody.
Three years ago, I lost my mate in a rogue attack and ever since then I had been mateless and lonely. I had prayed for a second chance mate from the Moon goddess, but she took a longer period before she finally paired me with the beautiful girl I met at the pub yesterday night.
I was going to the pub to drink away my sorrow when I saw her among some rogue teens who wanted to take advantage of her. I saved her from the bad boys and took her to a close by hotel where we accidentally had a one-night stand together.
Something was so strange about this girl. Apart from the fact that she is my mate, I noticed she was suffering from emotional damage. She told me her birthday was yesterday and her mate was Alpha Greg of the Bloodmoon pack. She even told me she was rejected by him and forced to accept his rejection. She told me she had no family, relatives, or friends despite how beautiful she was. All these were what she was saying when she was drunk in a stupor. She never knew I had the information already.
I am ready to make her free from the shackles of Alpha Greg of the Bloodmoon pack and make her the Queen of the Lycans. She would be the youngest Queen in the city and she would add more honor to me ahead of the new Moon.
I got an invitation from Alpha Greg yesterday morning to come and crown his engagement ceremony that would kick off by tomorrow. Of course, no Alpha would do such a celebration without inviting a legend like me. At first, I wanted to reject his invitation, but I had a change of mind after I discovered that my second chance mate was a maid in his pack. I must go there and take what belongs to me.
I would leave the Nightwind pack today for the engagement ceremony. I must gather more information about her and make sure I bring her along with me when coming back to the Nightwind pack. Alpha Greg should be ready to host the bravest of all!!
" Are we good to go?" I asked Beta Ernest.
" Yes, my Alpha. Everything has been prepared" Beta Ernest responded.
" I need you to keep an eye on the girl once we get to the Bloodmoon pack. She must come with us to the Nightwind pack today" I ordered Beta Ernest.
" I will do just as you have instructed, My Alpha. You are the strongest Lycan in the City. You can take whatever you want" Beta Ernest bow down and said.
" Then who is that smelling girl you guys are talking about?" sarah, Alpha Henry's eldest daughter and also my late mate's senior sister banged into the office and asked, her hands in the air.
Ever since I lost my mate in the rogue war, Sarah had always been a pest in my life. She accused me of killing her younger sister and imposed herself on me by force.
Alpha Henry was supposed to be the king of the Lycans in the last moon held some years ago but he chose me to go and represent him on conditions. He said I should choose between her two daughters the one he could arrange for me before he could step down as the incoming Lycan of the City. I chose Ella, Sarah's younger sister, and made her my Queen. Everything was going smoothly not until I lost Ella and Alpha Henry on the same day.
Sarah threatened me to choose her as my new Luna, claiming that I deliberately killed her father and her sister to terminate the arranged marriage contract between us which I can swear by the moon goddess that it was a fat lie.
This had been a critical case in the court and I have been told by the pack lawyer to clear the wave else I would either step down as the Lycan king or choose Sarah as my new Luna and Queen. This was the main reason I went to the pub yesterday to drown myself in alcohol before I finally met my second chance mate.
" How dare you to question my authority, Sarah? Have you begun to lose your senses?" I asked her angrily.
" You are the one that lost your senses, Alpha! You killed my father and my dear sister just to be with a local girl in the Bloodmoon pack" Sarah started her crocodile tears as usual.
" Sarah, it's our Alpha's second chance mate. You should be happy the Moon goddess has finally answered our prayers" Beta Ernest told Sarah.
" What's your business, fool? Were you there when my father step down for your Alpha? You better keep your stinking mouth shut" Sarah insulted Ernest. Ernest frowned at her, his fist gripped but he did not dare hit her. Sarah would have become dead meat if not for her position in the pack.
" Know your limit in this pack, Sarah. Don't you ever talk back at my Beta again in your life" I moved to her front and roared in her ears.
" And as for that girl in the Bloodmoon pack, I am bringing her to our pack and I am making her my Queen and Luna" I spoke to her face.
Sarah laughed out loud sinisterly and pumped her fist in the air.
" You must be a joker, Mr. Alpha" Sarah stated.
" I am not kidding about this, Sarah," I told her, clenching my jaw in smugness.
" Then I would make life a living hell for her. And don't forget that you have just two weeks to clear the wave or choose me as your Luna" sarah crinkled her nose, smirked, and walked away from us. I gripped my fist and gritted in annoyance as she walked away.
" My Alpha, take it easy with her. She is just a woman!" Beta Ernest tapped my shoulder behind me, and my fist loosened. sarah had spoilt my name for so long and I was damn tired of her.
I picked up my suit from the desk in annoyance and Beta Ernest dressed me before we went out for the Bloodmoon pack.
