Damon: The Cursed Alpha

Thinking I was joking, he looked at me amusingly, until I reached down to the bottom drawer of my mahogany desk, and brought out a chainsaw with blood stains on it.

“You can’t do that, Damon” he yelled

“I already told you to leave, Alpha but you refused and now, I have to do what I have to do”

I said walking towards him.

“I have uranium”

That made me stop in my tracks.

Uranium was an element used in the olden packs, years long before my great grandparents were born to hide out pack from the outside world and that is why we have been able to coexist with humans while staying fitter away at the outskirts of their town but these days, Uranium has been scarce to find and difficult to use as this leads to the exposure of many packs to humans, hunters, and vampires.

“It’ll be delivered to you by tomorrow, tens of it, just make me stay here for one more night”

“If you are lying, you know what the consequences would be right”

He nodded. I helped him up to his feet and walked him toward the door.

“Your wife and kids still stay on that private island of yours, right? The one you brought a few years ago from that Italian, right” I threatened.

The Alpha angrily nodded and walked out of my door with his suitcase in his hands.

White angel is the name of our pack. My father was supposed to be the Alpha till I was seventeen. Once I turned seventeen, I was supposed to perform some rituals to be able to become an Alpha, but due to the curse that the goddess placed on me and because of my hatred for her as well, I refused to take the oath of allegiance and there, the goddess rejected me as an Alpha.

Sadly..

Not…

That was exactly what I wanted to happen.

“Damon, the girls are here” My gamma, Tunde, rushed into my office and informed me. He was my closest friend in the pack ever since I turned eleven “The Alpha wants you on base 9”

“Girls?” I asked surprisingly.

It was supposed to be one girl and I hadn’t even expected the one girl to be here. I’d sent a message to that son of a gun called Lucas to make sure he protects his girl with everything but he had been so careless that he still let her slip away like this.

“Have you seen Bagon?” Bagon was the guy I sent to deliver the message to Lucas and I hadn’t heard anything from him ever since.

“His body got washed offshore this morning. We couldn’t tell you because you were in a meeting”

“Shit!” I banged my hand hard against the table in front of me.

“Let’s go” I grabbed my car keys and hurriedly headed to base 9.

Base 9 is a training ground for the pack warriors and a place of death for any stranger taken into base 9. Nobody enters base 9 and leaves the same way they entered. It was forbidden and if any member helped them to escape, he’ll have to pay with his life.

“They took another girl with them, she was with Lucas’s girl in the car and they had to bring them together. The Alpha wants you to eliminate the girl” Tunde explained.

“Why should I be the one doing the killing at every time?”

“You know how the Alpha is, he loves it when someone else has their hands in innocent blood than his. You don’t want to kill the girl”

“I don’t fucking give a damn about any other girl. Killing her would be easy”

I was on the edge of losing my sanity. Whoever had killed Bagon had known of his mission, but one thing I wasn’t sure of yet was if the person knew it was connected to me or whoever the fuck that asshole who thinks he can mess up with me was.

“What about Lucas’s girl?” Tunde asked

“Until we get there. But whatever happens, before we get there is none of my business” I groaned.

We got to base 9 and passed through the heavy gates before we walked into the building where one of my father’s boys led us to the room where they were holding both girls hostage.

Tunde gave me my gun before I walked in alone. I saw my father crouched down before a girl and when I looked at the other one, she was sitting in a corner, her eyes everywhere, reminding me of a wild animal.

Not one glint of fear passed through her face as she glared at my father, oblivious of my presence.

“Waste her!” my father walked towards me and pointed to the girl he had been talking to.

I watched her move closer into the wall behind her while whimpering. Her ginger-red hair was what first caught my attention. I ran my eyes down her delicate figure.

She suddenly lifted her head and our eyes met. Her eyes widened in surprise as if she knew who I was. My breath hitched and for the first time in a long time, my heart started breathing rapidly. There was something about this girl that kept me captivated. It was as if her big green eyes were ready to swallow me whole, making me feel different or maybe the beautiful scent coming from her was keeping me trapped.

Not bothered about how she knew who I was, I lowered my gun and for the first time, I was ready to break a rule.

What’s the matter, Damon? Kill her” my father screamed at me.

“I can’t,” I said

“Why?”

*Mate* My wolf growled.
