Being the ruler of the pack wasn’t easy, there are so many expectations from different ranks of wolves – elevation or your downfall. I was a young Alpja wolf who didn’t want anything concerning to do with royalty, always felt that royalty was not my path.

At that point in time, I was a pure innocent wolf that doesn’t know much about pack wars and whatnot. In my younger years I was not inquisitive the way I am now.

Everything changed when we had our first pack war, I lost my parents to the cold hands of death and my whole world shattered. In line with the pack rules, I was not meant to seat on the position of the ruling Alpha unless I fight some battles.

My father was a great warrior before his death, so there was anticipation in the eyes of the ranked and unranked wolf on how his son will look like.

I trained myself in the art of war and engaged in my first ever battle, although the first battle I lost as I got plenty of scars. The outcome of the loss made many to laugh and scorn me.

Deciding not to take the scorn to heart, I endured the pain and went in for more trainings. The second battle I fought, I won the battle although the aftermath of the war was that I had scars all over my body.

The innocent exterior in which I had was shed off and a warrior emerged from me. Ever since then I learnt to keep all emotions to myself and was swift in the decision in which I take.

I was walking with Lena when I heard the news that made me laugh. A rogue pack was trying to attack our pack.

I laughed, guess those rogue wolves don’t know who they were messing with.

I left Lena as I went into the chambers in which the Council of Elders stayed, the ruling Alpha can take decision with or without the permission from the Council of Elders.

I walked into the council as I was met with different gazes but who cares?? I sat at the ruling Alpha seat as one of the Council Of Elders who was a strategist laid out the map of the rogue pack.

I took the map from his hands and smirked, there were too many loopholes in the land which they dwell that would be made for a perfect ambush.

“Gather twenty soldiers, ten will attack from the south while ten will attack from the east.” I said

The one who was responsible for the military status of the pack bowed and left to carry out the instructions. I was angry and my eyes were changing colours.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw that Claire was about to come to my direction but was being hold back by her father.

She should thank the moon goddess that her father held her because only the moon goddess knows how deadly her situation will be if she had ever encountered me in this present situation.

Everyone backed out from me as I was isolated, I took in a deep breath and tried to get back to myself which was not working.

This was another aspect why I was called a cold blooded beast, I could be very calm but once I get angry, hell will bow and anyone who encounters me when angry will be embracing the cold hands of death.

The only way to stop this anger of mine is when I kill a beast or beasts. A devilish smile was on my face as I have found the perfect victims for it – The rogue pack.

This particular rogue pack that we are attacking seemed to be a special one, it does not only consists of werewolves but had vampires and witches, well…. that will not stop me from unleashing my anger on them.

We got to the rogue pack as everything was going on according to plan. I slaughtered my way into the pack and destroyed every beast that came my way.

I went on a killing spree as the pack which was said to be “special” was brought down by me.

I was getting weaker and weaker, I knew that the form in which I carried does not have enough strength to continue the war, I transformed into a big black wolf, my eyes were golden.

The energy in which I lost was regained as I continued my killing spree, at this point no one dared to look at me because I could use the Alpha’s authority unknowingly.

The war has come to an end but I was still angry and I wondered why it was so. I was still in my wolf formed but this time, my wolf form had a deep shade of red. My eyes were still shining golden, the golden eyes were used to assert dominion.

It was rare for an Alpha wolf to have golden eyes. The Council of Elders were shivering and the one who was at my front had to hold still in order for them not to collapse.

I walked back to the Council in my wolf form and the others who followed me to battle were at my back, they were shivering as many could not take it anymore and collapse.

I wondered why I was still annoyed, I knew the annoyance was not coming from me but from the wolf that I have been transformed into. I knew that Ian (the name I gave to my wolf) cannot be angry for no reason.

I went into the chambers as I met Lena in rags, her clothes were torn into pieces.

“Who did this?” I roared.

Lena looked at me, she suddenly found the wolf cute and came to hug Ian crying.

“She loves me more than you”. Ian said

“Will you keep quiet?” I scolded him.

My golden eyes began to revert back to the normal appearance as I used my claws to wipe her tears.

I had to change to a human form, I took the clothes from the bed as I entered the dressing room to get changed.

Coming out, I knew that I was going to investigate this matter
