Mine

"How dare you tell me, you couldn't bring her here!” Hugh yelled, throwing the desk across the room without a sweat.

“I-I'm sorry Alpha. The Alpha of the blue moon pack got involved, killing the others in the process.” Hugh's beta replied, trembling before him.

His information made Hugh very pissed. He hates people getting involved in his business.

“I only survived because I ran away. It looks like she is in the care of Alpha Roy.” Donald continued, but before he would realize what was happening, he was pinned to the wall, his feet lifted up from off the ground as his Alpha strangled him, his claws digging into his skin.

“She is Mine, and Mine alone!” Hugh growled, his angry yellow eyes bore into his beta's almost lifeless ones.

He threw his beta with so much force, making him slam his body hard against the wall. Donald's vision started to blur, his strength leaving him.

“Get me Alan.” He heard his Alpha say before he went unconscious.

For three days, Kimberly remained locked in her bedroom, ignoring Christine's everyday plea to come out and eat, she couldn't stop herself from crying. They were all the same, all of them. They lied about everything from the beginning, acting like they cared, when in reality they didn't. They are all monsters, blood thirsty monsters!

Kimberly had no idea why deep down she felt differently. It upsets her that she still feels a deep attraction towards Roy. The urge to run into his arms for comfort came every time and she hated that feeling. She was trying really hard to remain mad at him and feel betrayed and hurt by his actions, but was failing miserably.

Having a sudden need for fresh air, she stepped out of her bedroom, carefully making her way downstairs. She tiptoed to make sure Christine doesn’t hear or see her, but oh was she wrong. “Thank goodness you're okay, you got me quite worried.” Christine suddenly said out of nowhere, making her cringe.

How did she know that she was out of her bedroom?

“I didn’t mean to scare you. I-uh perceived your scent and couldn't help but check on you... I know you're now aware of everything. I'm so sorry, we had to keep it away from you to prevent you from getting scared of us.”

Bloody werewolf senses! She could've made it to the door unnoticed if they were humans, Kimberly thought to herself feeling slightly annoyed.

"Sweetie, I know you must be hungry. I made...”

“I need some fresh air.” Kimberly said, cutting her off. This made Christine really sad, Kimberly could see it. She was a bit touched and had wanted to immediately apologize, but she had to keep up her act.

"O-okay. Go ahead.” Christine quietly said and turned around, returning back to the kitchen.

“Hello?” Alan answered his phone after two rings.

“Hello, beta Alan. This is beta Donald from the white moon pack.”

"What do you want?” Alan asked through gritted teeth. He couldn't believe these people, they had the guts to call after breaking the law that has been keeping the packs at peace for years.

"Our Alpha, Hugh wants to have a word with you, it's important. He wants you to meet him tonight, by the lake, at the boundary.”

Alan contemplated for some seconds to reply. Would it be a good idea to talk with Hugh after what he did?

Donald on the other hand, waited patiently for Alan's reply because he didn’t want to upset his alpha more than he already has.

After letting out a heavy sigh, Alan decided to give Donald a reply.

“Fine. Tell him I'll be there by 9:00pm.” And with that he ended the call.

Later that night, Alan told his mate, Christine that he was going for a walk. He decided to keep his meeting with Hugh a secret from her so she doesn’t get worried.

"Come back soon, okay?” she said, giving him a kiss before he left the house.

Alan felt guilty for keeping the truth away from his mate, but it was best this way. He would go see what Hugh wants and return home on time without his mate freaking out about his whereabouts. He walked a reasonable distance away from his pack before taking off his clothes behind a tree and shifting into his wolf form to get there sooner.

As Alan ran into the woods, he wondered why Hugh wanted to see him. What did he want to talk about? They haven't set eyes on each other for decades and now he suddenly required his presence, which was weird.

As he got close to the lake, he picked up two unfamiliar scents and Hugh's unmistaken one. He slowed in his pace, till he eventually stopped running, walking slowly instead to the three werewolves and shifted back to human.

When he was still a distance away from them, Hugh, the largest of the three werewolves stepped forward and shifted to his human form, which the other two werewolves soon copied.

"What is it you want, Hugh?” Alan asked with no emotion. He needed to get this over and done with. He hopes this isn't some sort of trap.

“Well, well, well. It's good to see you too Alan.. or should I say, uncle...” Hugh replied with a smirk “You know.. that is no way to greet a family you haven't seen for so long.” He continued.

“I have no time for pleasantries.”

“It doesn't surprise me cos you're always in a hurry to go be with your favorite nephew.” Hugh pointed out, trying to sound emotionless, but Alan still noticed the hint of jealousy in his nephew's voice.

“I care about you both, equally.” He sincerely replied because he really did.

Hugh used to be his best friend, as the were almost the same age but, he changed after what happened with Hailey. Alan understood how he felt and tried to help him get back on his feet but Hugh didn’t want that, he wanted to walk in the footsteps of his father and Alan didn't want to be friends with such a person. So, he cut all ties with Hugh and never heard from him until now.

“Quit with the act, Alan.” Hugh irritatedly said.

“I'm not here for that...Your pack has something that belongs to me.”

“Really?.. Hugh, you know that's not possible. For years now, we've kept our side of the bargain.” “That's what I thought until now.” Hugh gave a nod, like he was trying to agree with him but was having a hard time doing that.

“If you're war thirsty, go find some other pack.” Alan said, his statement infuriated Hugh, who was in no time in a half shift, as his wolf was fighting to take over.

“Your beloved nephew has my mate and I want her back!” he growled, his words took Alan by surprise.

“Hailey?” Alan asked with furrowed eyebrows

“It's impossible.” He said to no one in particular.

Now he understood why Hugh went as far as sending his warriors into their pack. He wanted his mate, who rejected him years ago. What he couldn't understand was, why Roy kept such a thing from him.

“I would ignore the death of two of my warriors if he hands over my mate.” Hugh said, bringing Alan out from his thoughts.

“Fine, I'll talk to him. But, you must promise one thing."

"And what might that be?”

“You'll lay low and not trespass, while I find a way to talk to Roy.”

"We both know that isn't as hard as you make it sound... I'll try to keep your request, but don't think I'll be patient.”

Alan could understand his point, as this was his mate they were talking about.

“I'll be on my way now.” He said to his nephew, who replied in a threatening voice,

“Do not betray me.”

With a final nod, Alan back to his werewolf form and ran towards his pack.
