Hunter Leto P.O.V
I quickly went out of the washroom and swung opened the wooden room door harshly making it bang on the wallpaper covered wall behind it. Hoping it wonât leave any sort of dent but at that moment I wasnât in the state to care. All I was ever was concerned for was to find my precious little mate.
I went down using the hotel elevator, Lucifer was protesting and disapproving. I blocked him obviously annoyed at his abiding indignation. Now he would know how it will feels like to get disregarded and incapable.
I went to the parking area and ran over to my car, unlocking it in the process and got in. Oh you might wonder, Iâm a wolf.
Can I drive ?
If Iâm just a plaintive wolf with nothing, I might as well also die in ten years of age. Every year human age by one, but wolf by seven.
Iâm not an ordinary wolf am I now ? I just age as same as them.
Well, I learned everything that my human has learnt. Now, Iâm in human form. I was there when he was learning driving and took his driving license. I was just quiet. I wasnât hefty enough to show myself so soon.
Letâs face it, our mom wasnât the mate of our dad. That gave me disadvantages and what more ? No wolf training.
However, I am strong; physically and mentally. I do have alpha blood in me.
I am an Alpha.
I was the first child.
First born.
I know it isnât fair for my half-brother.
It should be his right.
The moment I knew I had a half-brother, I was blithe until I realised what ceremony was held on.
Yet, I still do adore him. For what itâs worth, heâs still my blood.
Iâm just doleful to have never known him.
I would have been his protective big brother.
Guide him.
I still have time to fix that or so I hope.
âWho cares?â Lucifer barged in.
âI do, unlike you who wants to be alone forever, I want my family and one of my own.â I snapped.
Three hours later, Lucifer confessed. â² I donât want to be alone forever, all I wanted was the love of a mother.â²
Sorrow loomed over the both of us.
âShe can give us that, but you ruined her.â I sneered and got off the car.
The woods just looked the same left and right. I remember him giving her over to her pack when she was injured but this was confusing.
I tried to use my nose and track.
I kept inhaling.
I smell;
Rabbits.
Itâs heart pumping and my mouth watered.
No, snap out of it.
I went further into the woods and took in a few more scents.
Deers.
Birds.
Dead animals.
Wolf.
Wolf ?
I snap my head to that direction. I took of running towards it and when I inhaled more.
There wasnât just one wolf as I thought, there were others. I could hear numerous paws thudding against the muddy ground.
The strange and peculiar thing was that they were all running towards me as I was towards them.
I picked up the pace, I couldâve ran in my own form but then it may give him back control to his human self and my clothes will be shredded.
I halted as three wolves were there in front of me while they halted too. One of them shifted, I knew him as Zachary.
âMind to have clothes on?â I asked.
âShut up, rogue.â He snarled.
âWhat are you doing here Lucifer, havenât you done enough ? You just keep popping like a torn stuck on her flesh.â He told.
I glared at him.
âIâm not Lucifer, Iâm Hunter. Iâve come to collect whatâs mine.â I stated.
Another shifted.
âSheâs not yours, you lost that privilege long ago.â He exclaimed.
âLucifer lost it. Not me.â I told, Octavius I presume ?
I remember these two.
They assisted Lucifer then, why are they against me now ?
Iâm not him.
Out of the blue, I caught her scent.
How come? She wasnât here. I looked behind them to see if she was there, but to my obvious disappointment she wasnât.
Strangely, the scent increased as Octavius neared my frame and all I could see was red when it clicked. I bet even my eyes kept flashing red and orange from the anger that was consuming me.
My canines instantaneously elongated and I breathed heavily. All of them looked at me confused.
" You touched her.â I growled lowly.
Zachary eyes widen as he looked at Octavius who gulped before clenching and unclenching his jaw.
âIt was a mistake.â He exclaimed.
âYou were about to forcefully mark her! Whereâs youâre wolf ? I demand to see him.â I demanded.
âWho are you to order us? Surround him.â He ordered and they did.
I growled viciously at them, daring them to take a step forward into my circle.
âOctavius, we canât grab him. Heâs too strong.â Zachary reasoned.
âHeâs halfblooded Zachary, this pup isnât brawny enough.â Octavius snickered. He dare challenge me?
âOctavius, youâre infuriating him further. Quit it.â Zachary warned.
âWhy get you as her mate? If she was mine, she would have been pregnant by now.â Octavius continued.
âWhat are you doing? Stop this right now!â Zachary shrieked.
âHer neck would have had my name on it.â He finished and I lunged at him shifting in the process and he shifted along with Zachary.
I bit into his neck making fresh blood to ooze down from his now wounded neck with two deep punctured holes. He kicked me of him whimpering out and I was suddenly attacked from behind.
I kept on growling like a demented wolf, trying to bite whoever dare to attack me from my back and took the chance to bite one of their ear and pull him towards the tree as I heard some crack of bones making him wince and stay down.
I went once more straight to Octavius, preparing to pounce on him until I was tackled to the ground by Zachary and he bit my hind leg hard making me howl out in pain. I kicked him off with my other leg and pounced on him instead making us roll.
I pinned him beneath me and kept my jaws locked on his neck, about to sink my canines in. The effortless position to snap his neck.
Just then, I heard a whimper.
I was lost in a trance.
âLucifer.â I could hear her begging cries. Her need, the bond. I took my snout away from his neck regaining back my normal conscience stance and in a mere second I was pushed harshly against a tree.
I heard a few crack of ribs and I whimpered. Zachary shifted to his humans self coming after me as I growled at him and he punched me on the face full fledge knocking me out of my consciousness.
I woke up by someone splashing a bucket of freezing cold water on me. I looked around to see that I was in a cage.
Me in a cage ? How revolting.
My four legs were painfully chained up. Even my snout has a muzzle on it. This was too much.
I looked over to see her father standing there with those two guards. I guess the others are busy getting healed.
âYou put us in this mess!â² Lucifer blamed.
I did.
But can I censure myself ?
âWho are you rogue ?â
Always with that dialogue ? Is he nuts ? Iâm not in human form and thereâs a muzzle clamped on my snout.
âShift.â He ordered.
I stayed still.
I refused his order.
I will bow to no one.
âI said shift or god help me, I will kill you.â He threatened.
Didnât those say who I was ?
I shifted to my human form but not before having an internal battle with my human self before winning over him.
I looked over at him, glaring. As Iâm in control, my eyes would stay hazel and sometimes shift to black but either way it obviously signifies that Iâm in control.
His eyes widen in shock. âFuck.â He cussed.
âGo call the pack doctor and get him some pants now!â He ordered.
One of the guard flew through the door immediately while the other rushed over to me unlocking the chains and the muzzle. He pulled me up and I grunted as my body protested the movements.
The other guard came with pants in his hand and the pack Doctor behind him before passing me the pants and I wore it quickly.
Not comfortable being in my birthday suit for the first time in front of these people but I bet for them itâs just another naked wolf.
Once I put it on, I was yanked onto the wall behind me and they cuffed my hands above my head.
Whatâs happening ?
âCheck the bruises.â He ordered.
The pack doctor rushed over to me and wore his gloves on. He saw the most bruised part of me, which was my ribcage.
Bluish purple black.
What a colour combo for Halloween.
He examined it before pressing on it making me wince out of pain. He checked my face and I knew there would be another one on my cheekbone from the punch with a busted lip.
He looked over at him.
âWell ?â He asked impatient.
" A few broken ribs, a busted lip and bruised cheek alpha.â He answered.
âGood, there should be more from what my daughter went through.â Valentineâs dad exclaimed.
My eyes widen.
âWhat ?â I growled bewildered and panic.
âGet the equipments. Itâs time to have some fun.â He smirked.
