I furrowed my brows together thinking whether I should help out the old man or not. But what about my own pack? Who will look after them?
"With all due with respect Alpha Caine but I can't accept your offer. I have my own pack to look after. I'm pretty sure you understand that." I stared at him. His expression neutral.
"Yes Julian am fully aware of the fact that you have your own pack. I'm not saying you should leave your pack and take over mine while am gone. I'm saying that it would be helpful if you could pop in and see how Pierce is handling the duties of being an Alpha. Teach him to be a true Alpha" He explained to me. "At least think about it." Damn I didn't want this. But I do have a question to ask. He rose from his chair and went over to his desk where he was shuffling through some stack of papers.
"I have question Alpha Caine." He looked up from his task and stared at me with intent. "What is it that you want me to teach Pierce that he wouldn't already learn from you?"
The old man chuckled, letting his laughter fill the room. "Julian you are definitely something else. That's a good question though. I honestly don't know. But something, a special ingredient is missing from Pierce to be a true Alpha. I just feel it." He sigh before he continued, "You must think I'm crazy." He said chuckling softly over his words.
But I did understand what he was saying. He wanted Pierce to be true to himself and realize that he is capable of being a true Alpha. My father told me the same thing before he passed.
"I'll think about your offer. But am not making any promises." I told him.
"That's okay by me. I think you should go to the ballroom and enjoy the party, take your men too. I'm sure they could use a break from standing outside by the door for so long." He said, as he was back to shuffling his papers again. I smirked at his request. Maybe this could be a stress reliver for me and my men indeed. Pick up broads and just let the night go by.
"That's a pretty good offer. I'll take it."
"Good. Head out and have fun. Thanks for coming Julian, I appreciate it." He pause from his task a second time again, and walk over to me and held out his hand.
"Thanks Alpha Caine." And I took his hand into mine and shook it.
Maybe, this wouldn't be so such a bad idea after all.
I headed out the door to see Chazz and the rest of the men waiting. Everyone stared at me expecting me to tell them what happened in the room with the Alpha and I.
Instead I said this, "Let's go to the ballroom the Alpha insists." They nod in agreement and we made our way to the ballroom. I stopped at the doors of the ballroom and saw the beautiful decorations that had been set up for tonight's festivities. The party was in full swing and everyone seem to be having a good time.
Everyone was either engaging in light conversations, sipping champagne or on the dance floor dancing the night away. The party was in sheer elegance. Different scents mingled throughout the atmosphere, but there was one scent that I knew too well. Vanilla and jasmin. Mate. She's here.
Her scent played with my senses causing tingles to run down my spine. With superhuman strength, I quickly scan the room, picking up on every conversation till my eyes finally land on her. My breath immediately hitched in my throat. She looked stunning in that black dress. She stood by the bar that was located at the back of the ballroom near the exit.
She stood with a male laughing hysterically while she lightly touched his arm. A lethal growl escaped my mouth. I wanted to rip his fucking throat out and make him wish he was never born. I clenched my fists at my side, feeling my claws digging into my flesh not caring if I cut myself or not.
Chazz seem to have sense my sudden change in my mood. "Are you okay Jules? You're eyes are gold?" Fuck! I cursed under my breath. I closed my eyes trying to regained control of myself and my wolf. I took deep breaths to calm down.
"Just fucking fine." I gritted through clenched teeth. I still wanted to kill that motherfucker for close proximity and making her laugh so much. I swear I'm going to tie that cute little ass of hers to my bed and keep her there. I saw all the males ogling her as she spoke to this god for saking ass of a male. I growled as my men and I fully enter into the ballroom. I took two champagne from the passing waiter who was serving the guests in the ballroom.
I gulped down the champagne in record time. I wanted to examine her, to get a close look at her features. And probably ask her why the fuck she wore such a dress to a dinner party too!
I made my way through the sea of bodies that occupy the ballroom. It wasn't easy to get to the back of the ballroom but I did it anyway. I was at the bar that was second to hers. I took a seat on one of the bar stools and ordered a whiskey that the bartender later appeared with.
In perfect line of sight, I saw her in all her glory. Her caramel skin tone shone under the florescent lights making it appear golden. Her dark raven hair was sweep in a braid to the left, revealing that elegant neck of hers. Sliver earrings dangled from her ears. Her black dress had me captivated, she turn around to take a sip of her drink and I saw the bare back and that had a immensely deep cut that stopped at the top of her ass. It was sexy. She was sexy.
Her arms were covered by long sleeves of her dress. Her green eyes seemed to have stand out more against the black material.
Damn all these fuckers are staring!
Note to self Julian, burn that dress. Shit I didn't even know the little vixen name. I swear I'm going to get my hands on her before the night is over. I saw Chazz heading my direction to where I was sitting. He occupied one of the empty stools beside me.
"I won't lie the Alpha sure knows how to throw a party." I didn't say anything, so he continued, "and I also observed that you've been staring at that girl for a half an hour now."
Thanks for your support!
"Scarlett Ross my friend. That's the daughter of Alpha Caine.""Who is she?" I finally asked.
I smirked at this new information.
"Why are you smirking? What are you planning to do?" Chazz asked, eyeing me closely.
"What makes you say that?" I shot back.
Thanks for your support!
"Because it looks like you're up to something?" He said."Don't worry Chazz you'll find out sooner or later." I said while sipping my champagne.
You will indeed.
~~~Scarlett ' s Pov Pierce and I stood at the bar closer to the exit. I was laughing uncontrollably as he was telling me some silly joke about what girls do to get his attention. Little bastard. "Let's go for a dance Scar." He said pulling me on the dance floor where other couples were dancing. I forgot what a good dancer he is sometimes. We danced till the song ended. I told Pierce thanks before making way off the dance floor. I felt someone tugged on my hand."Pierce I told you no more dances." I groaned."Good, because I'm not Pierce." I turned around as soon as I heard what the deep and sexy male voice said. My mouth went dry as I saw who it was. Julian. He looked devilishly handsome in his all black suit that clung to his massive chest that had been customized for his frame only. He stood a good height of 6'9 towering over me. I felt small under his watchful gaze and his freakishly tall height was intimidating. His perfectly disheveled hair fell around his face nicely and hi

~~~Julian's Pov I still hadn't told Chazz about my mate. We went on our usual morning run in our wolf form, dashing and sprinting through the woods. It was exhilarating as Chazz and I were racing to the river that lay ahead. Chazz and I rushed out of the woods the exact same time and leap in the river howling at the cold temperature it was in. I came out of the river and shaking my grey fur before shifting back into human form. I put on the shorts that lay on the cool grass. Chazz was enjoying his time in the river, he shortly came out as he waggle his white fur splashing droplets of water onto my dry skin. I let out a curse and he laughed."So what happened to you last night?" He asked sheepishly. "And dont lie Jules I'm not stupid.""The Alpha wants me to oversee his pack." I stated coolly."Why? Doesn't he have a son for that?" Chazz asked incredulously."Yes, he does. But he doesn't think he's ready. Don't worry I'm thinking about it." Chazz took a deep breath before answering,
~~~Scarlett's PovI punched the punching bag that hung from the ceiling in the gym. My gloves connecting with the object rapidly, one jab after the other. Sweat beaded at my forehead. My arms felt swore but I didn't care. I swing my leg toward the bag kicking it like my life depended on it. I didn't pay attention to the other pack members around me. I needed to burn some steam and probably to stop think about Julian.I looked at the tangible object one last time before punching it rapidly again. My chest was heaving hard, as my lungs wanted to catch air into them. My eyes heated as I brought my fists toward the hard spongy material, hitting it firmly causing the bag to move back and forth. I took my gloves off and place them in the dispenser. I headed back to my station where I collected my bag off the ground and headed through the door. I place my bag on my shoulder while rummaging through it to find my ipod.I had a strong belief that music is life and when it hits you feel no pain.
We arrived at Club 876 to see a long line of patrons waiting to go inside. "Great how are we going to get in now?" Nina groaned as I parked the car in an empty slot. That was a good question. "Just have some faith." I told her in my cheery voice."Fine." She muttered. We got out the car and headed toward the line. Everyone was staring. Including the bouncer at the door."Well well well isn't it Scarlett Ross." The bouncer said as he place both hands infront of him like a secret agent. I looked closely at the man in front of me and smiled as I recognize his face."J.T is that you?" Laughing as I approached him."Long time no see. How you doing?" He said. He was a big guy with big muscles and he wore a full black suit adorned with a pair of black ray bands that hid his eyes."I'm good. Just came to have a good time. Can you squeeze me and my best friend in J.t?" I asked giving him my best puppy dog eyes while pouting my lip at him. "Anything for the future Luna. Enjoy your night ladi
~~~Julian's PovWhen I entered Club 876 I was wondering what the hype was about. I saw the patrons forming a circle around some group of girls dancing. Chazz and I, along with four of my men decided to head out and check out this new club on Bombay Street. We stand a few feet away from the crowd observing. Some of the people recognize who I am and made head signals to say "hi". I heard some ladies whispering about me and Chazz saying how good we looked."The one with the dark brown hair looks hot!" The brunette said excitedly."His blonde friend is eye candy too!" A next one said. Chazz smirked. And I couldn't help but smile."Oh my god his smile is breath taking." One cooed. I shaked my head and tune them out. I was looking intently on the group of girls dancing and I instantly saw red. Scarlett.What the fuck is she doing here?! Is that a man behind her?! Grinding on her too! Chazz sense my change in mood. His eyes followed my line of vision and saw what I was looking at."Calm
~~~Scarlett's Pov I was sleeping peacefully. The memories of last night came to haunt me. Julian! I jolted up in the middle of the king size bed. Sun rays were streaking through the glass doors that lead to the balcony. I felt my face and sweat bedded my forehead, I swallowed hard. I remove the blanket and crawl out the bed. My heels clicking on the marble tile, as I made my way to the bathroom to check on my appearance. I had fuzzy hair and my make-up was all over my face making me look like a drag queen. Crap! I closed the bathroom door deciding that I was going to take a shower. I stripped out my clothes and went into shower stall, I turned on the shower jets and the water felt warm against my sweaty skin. I wash myself from head to toe feeling the tension being released from my body. I quickly got out and scan the bathroom for a towel. I saw a cabin and open it quickly to look for a towel, I was relieved when the white fluffy material laid in front of my eyes. I grabbed it an
~~~Nina's Pov I woke up in a random bed that I just couldn't seem to pull myself out of. I was enjoying my sleep. But my muscles felt sore and tender, my throat was dry as well as sore. I had a massive headache pounding in my head, like when a drill is being bored into a brick wall. Oh fuck. I felt like I was dying. Where am I? The only thing I can remember from my very vague memory right now, was a cute blond with ocean blue eyes carrying me to his car as I drunkenly told him I was friends with Scarlett Ross. Oh no! Scar! Like a bolt of lightening I instantly jolted up in the middle of the bed. I was engrossed with my own thoughts I forgot about my friend for a minute. Holy shit. I try and calm myself. I closed my eyes and relax, panicking about this right now won't help solve the situation. I remove the blanket that I was nicely wrapped in and saw that I still had on my same clothes from last night. So I didn't have sex with that random-sexy-hunk of a stranger. Good, I thought to
