"Adrian, did you smell that?" Todd whispered to Adrian that happened to be the son of the pack beta and his beta when his father alpha Rupert re-signed as the pack alpha in a fortnight.
Something sharp pierces his heart, it isn't painful yet, but it's hot and makes him unable to breathe, he turns his head side by side, holding his chest, something is there, something that wasn't supposed to be there, that thing made him restless,Todd Rupert is the son of Alpha Rupert, the former alpha of Wild Gold Pack.In a fortnight he will step in as the alpha of Wild Gold Pack. Something he was born for and longed for, but there was something wrong at twenty, he hadn't met his wolf, and even though he could feel his wolf had surfaced in him still he couldn't communicate with it or shift and even as a son of a hybrid alpha, he still couldn't tell that he is a vampire, yet his strength is no match for anyone not even those who already got their wolf.When he turned eighteen and still hadn't shifted, his father, the alpha sent him to the Academy of Magical Arts and he had to join the Faculty of Spell and Magic, what he lacked as a gift from the goddess, he could acquire a skill if he is to be the alpha.As if it's not bad enough punishment that his wolf and vampire are locked, he hasn't met his mate yet. Since his coronation is in a fortnight, his father is organizing a political marriage for him with a strange girl, he has no idea of. One he hadn't met, one that he had no facial description of. Being born into an alpha lineage is more like a curse to him than a blessing.Although his father had suffered almost the same fate as him. Todd's curse seems to be on a higher ground."Smell what?" The nosy Ivan, who doesn't see anything good in Todd questioned, he glared at him as he inhaled that smell that had hit his chest, turning his face, as he salivated, flicking his tongue across his lips. "Don't tell us, you are about to meet your mate because I don't see how possible it is when you don't even have a wolf.""Ivan be quiet before you make me forget that you are my cousin." He growled at him, letting out a thundering sound, the four men were from the same family and they were on guard that night, as a result of a rogue's attack on the pack, they happened to be the strongest in the pack."Why are you acting like I said the unthinkable, you don't have your wolf and you are not planning on swindling the alpha from backing out of that arranged marriage alliance. You should know what that alliance will..." His words didn't finish, Todd howled, and the next thing a whooshing sound followed, Todd pinned him to the tree, and his eyes were red, as his claws went to his throat..."Alpha Todd, let brother go," Cameron called, pulling Todd off his neck. Cameron is the coldest among the four, he found his mate, a few months after his wolf surfaced, and he is just like his father, delta Campbell. While Ivan, is a demon, he has a problem with peace and stirring trouble is his priority."You should tell him to bridle his tongue if he doesn't want me ending his life in this forest." Todd's voice was cold and yet his eyes were everywhere, and that smell hit him once more. He licked his lips forgetting that he was mad at this cousin of his. His eyes scanned the areas, and then he ran his hand on his neck, looking desperate and frustrated that he hadn't found what he was looking for."Where the fuck is she?" He growled in frustration, as he still couldn't find the one with that smell, that delicious after-bake smell, and at the same time, giving that morning hot coffee, aroma, he couldn't even give a name to that smell, yet he love it and hope to love the one that wears that smell.He increased his step, turning in the direction, he thought the scent was coming from, going deep into the wood, Adrian ran after him as well as the other two, Cameron and Ivan.Not too far into the wood, his eyes meet the boot of one standing in the forest like a lone wolf, backing him, the legs of the fellow are like a tree rooted to the floor, and on his waist was a sword in a sheath, with just a food bag hang across his shoulder.He moved closer and touched the shoulder of the fellow, he turned to see the one that had touched his shoulder. He sniffed the fellow to confirm he was not making a mistake, that he was the bearer of the smell and it was confirmed.His eyes darken as the night, and his fist clenched as his eyes access the fellow in front of him. Low-grade leather boots, with loose pants, an oversized shirt, and a leather jacket with a hood. It's a little man standing there, and come to think of it, this little man that is more like a girl, having no muscles, no perfect body build was this man."What the fuck did the goddess take me for, a gay?" He growled in anger, Todd could be everything, a stubborn fellow, an arrogant fool, one who doesn't give a fuck about the opinion of others, yet he loves girls, beautiful hot sexy girls, they have always been his plaything for his leisure, never had he be attracted to a fellow like himself, he just doesn't love the idea of have the same sex as a mate.The fellow parted his lips to say something."Don't you fucking say anything, you can't be my mate." He growls at the fellow. If there is any award for the most compose and one that doesn't easily get mad, he could get the award."As the future Alpha of the Wild Gold Pack, I, Todd Rupert, hereby solemnly reject you,..." He paused and looked at the fellow. How could he reject someone that he had no idea of, not even the name of the man?"What the heck is your name?" The fellow parted his lips to say something yet again the demon in Todd stopped him."It doesn't matter little man, I reject you as my mate."Saying that Todd turned without waiting for the fellow to give him rejection, anger, and pain in his heart, he wanted to rip them apart and feed them to the birds of the sky, he wanted to shout out his heart to the goddess for cursing him this way. He hated himself and his entire existence, he tried to look for ways that he offended the goddess, yet he couldn't even find anyone.Suddenly, a loud growl left the fellow mouth, the rejection had left pain in the heart of the fellow, his feet weren't able to hold his strength anymore and the next thing, the fellow fell to the ground, the loud growl left his mouth, Todd and his men turned, seeing the pain the fellow is going through because of the rejection Adrian take a step toward the fellow, with the aim of helping him, Todd stop him with his hand.."Don't you dare, let him die?""Alpha Todd, you know that is not a good way to..." He turned to Adrian, and for the first time he glared at Adrian, his supportive friend and big brother, Adrian had always been his friend he was always the one with whom he could pour out his heart and tell how bad he was feeling but this was different, he could explain the pain he felt in his heart, the pain that his mate is a fellow like him. "I understand that..." "No, you don't fucking understand, you are not the one fated to a male, nor are you the one having a political marriage in a fortnight, it's bad enough that I don't have a wolf, not even a vampire blood in my vein and now this, fuck the goddess and her nonsensical matchmaking?" Todd snarl. "That ungrateful..." "I think you are the one been ungrateful, rejecting a gift from the goddess." Ivan's words hit Todd's chest like a rock and his turn was deadly, he was going to freeze Ivan and make him an ice God for the rest of his life. Ivan whose sarcasm didn't make him see t
Her eyes move towards Sheila. "No, he is one, who judges a book by its cover." Thalia was never a crybaby, she was that brave girl without a wolf, her mother was a human, while her father the alpha was a wolf.Having no wolf means she had to be strong and brave, so she could survive in a wolf world. She throws a sleeveless short gown on herself, wearing boot shoes, she doesn't need makeup to look like a goddess"Lady Thalia, are..." "I am off to the club, leave my door unlocked, so I don't disturb you when I return." She didn't wait for Sheila to say a word, she turned around and darted out of the building, she was not the party type, yet she needed to go somewhere to forget her pain, never had she thought that she would meet her mate, and get rejected before she could even get to know him. "What a waste?" She curses as she sits in a bar, it's a human bar, knowing she is a human, she always feels more comfortable with humans than those intimidating wolves. Even with the loud music,
"Kiss me." Todd stared at her like he didn't hear what she said. "Kiss me." She repeated her words, it was confirmed that he heard her right and she knew what she said the first time. "Where will you bring her?" Adrian asked. "My suit, you can go home." Adrian blinked his eyes several times. "Go home, I could care for myself." "You are not serious, are you? What do you want me to tell the Alpha? That I left you in the hand of a strange woman?" "Tell him nothing not like he cares." Todd dropped his car keys on his hands while he went back into the guesthouse, due to Todd's notorious lifestyle, he had a suit there. "Where are you bringing me?" Thalia asked in her drunk state. "Somewhere, we could kiss and do a lot of things." He pressed his lips on her forehead, and she smiled, yet her vision was getting blurry, she wanted to keep her eyes open so she could study her surroundings, yet the alcohol in her system was too much for her to focus. Her conscience flogged her for acting st
"Future Alpha Todd Rupert of Wild Gold pack." Thalia felt immobile, her hands were shaking reading the name on the invitation, her sister was engaged to the man she carried his mark, what a terrible fate, she had, she hit the glass on the wall, shattering it, her hands were bleeding but that pain is nothing to her, the pain in her heart hurts more than anything, she needed air, she grabbed her sword, she was heading out again, pulling the door of her room, her father, alpha Shawn was standing in front of her. "Thalia," she stood in motion, alpha Shawn walked to her, she held her breath, not wanting to make him smell her aura. "Where are you off to dress in a man wears again? And your hands, they are bleeding" Her eyes move to her wears, she has forgotten that she is still in the shirt of the man that broke her heart. "Oh this...I...what do you want Father?" Finding the right words to use for her father was difficult, changing the topic was the best option she could think of. "Oh,
"What did you say?" Alpha Shawn jumped from the dining, hearing the words of Sheila. "Your second daughter, the princess is sick," Sheila said again "Second daughter." Former Alpha Rupert and Luna Iris asked, Alpha Shawn looked at them, he didn't tell them anything about Thalia, he only said, he is having a marriage alliance with his daughter. "I am sorry Alpha Shawn, I didn't mean to appear unannounced, it's just that I don't know what to do with my lady, she felt nauseous and dizzy, she was unable to stand steady and she fainted, she..." Sheila's lips were trembling, kneeling before the royal family."Sheila, stop explaining, you should know that she needs the Pack physician, not father and if you are not stupid, you should know that we have guests, you shouldn't appear in front of a royal guest like an idiot, so get lost." Rani Snarled slapping her hand across her face, Todd moved his gaze to her, and for the first time, Todd glance at her, although he knew that they are two wom
"Miss, can I sit beside you?" Thalia froze at the spot, Todd's voice had registered in her head that she could even recognize his voice in her dream. "Can I?" Todd's voice came up again, Thalia took a deep breath, it was a good thing that she was backing Todd, so her hair was covering the side of her face and all Todd could see was her back. "Sure, you can." Thalia finally speaks, using a different voice for him. "Thanks." He took a sit beside her, Thalia held her breath, the proximity was killing Thalia, he wasn't saying anything to her but her body was burning, she wanted Todd to hug her and she also wanted to tell him that they might be expecting a baby, but who will believe that having a one night stand the previous day and the next day, you show up with pregnancy, she sighed. Todd raised his hand and touched Thalia's hair. "Hey, stop touching me." Thalia growl. "Sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just that your hair..." he stutters "What happened to my hair?" She tried not to f
"Alpha Brandon" Thalia yelled, Alpha Brandon is thrice the age of Thalia, he is known to be a ruthless alpha and he had more than ten wives. "Alia, what are you saying? You are going to give my daughter to a man that is older than me?" Alpha Shawn growls. "Do you have a better option? Maybe, you prefer her been stone to death because she is pregnant without a mate?" Luna Alia's face was without emotions, Thalia wanted to tell them that she was mated already and that her mate was responsible for her pregnancy, but if she did that, then she would have to tell everyone that Todd was the one responsible for it and she is not even sure the male responsible for this will even want to claim her publicly. "That is not going to happen, my Jewel will tell me who got her pregnant. Right baby?" Alpha Shawn's voice was low and pleading, he was pleading with his daughter. "Father...""Stop trying to patronize father, tell us who the father of the pup is?" Rani snapped at Thalia. "You are sleepi
Thalia jumped off the carriage ready to fight alongside the men but she noticed they were dead."Kill her." One of the enemies shouted Thalia dragged her dagger, she was not going to let these men kill her. She ripped her gown apart causing it to fall to the floor, leaving her with warrior attire, she had worn that under her supposed wedding gown, earlier, Sheila had told her not to wear that under her gown that she was getting married and not going to war but she has insisted that she will wear it, telling Sheila that, a warrior should always prepare for an enemy, Thalia knows she lives in a wolf world and since she isn't a wolf, if she has to survive in a wolf world, she needed to be strongly trained like her life depend on it, she tittered at her silliness. She swung her dagger side by side cutting the first two men that attacked her. Another set ran to her, and she jumped off the floor, as her feet went to the back of the two men, they fell to the other man, who was about to attac
