The Alpha Kings Mate
Chapter 16

Alexander's POV

'Please come find me... I need you.. We need you..'

A strange voice had me woke up and abruptly sat up from the bed. I scan my eyes around my room but there's no one in here but just me. It was strange for this hadn't happened to me before. It was like there was someone with me here in the room who whispered to me those words. The voice was soft to hear but I can feel she was in so much pain.

I lay down again and rest my arms on my forehead.

'Am I just dreaming?

It can't be true. It's just a dream. And besides, how could it be possible to be true when there's even no one with me here?

I mentally squabble against myself thinking if it's just a dream or if it's even true.

'I felt her. I felt she was in deep agony. I think she needs help.'

My wolf hadn't been worried like this. He's pacing back and forth inside me, he wants to go out and itching to cut someone's head off. His anger increases and to think that if it was just a dream and we don't even know who is it.

We don't even know what is it, wolf. I'm just so confused right now. And suddenly that strange voice had me too worried and felt like I want to snap something or someone!

It suddenly made my blood boil. I don't know why but I felt like I am going to explode any minute now.

This is not good. We can't be like this for just that strange voice inside our head! That voice repeating over and over again! It keeps whispering to me, pulling me towards her and I don't even know where and how or what and why did this suddenly happening to me?

'Why do strange things suddenly keep coming? First, with the problem with the rogues especially from the poor unmated shewolfs. Second, with Denise who's suddenly showed up here, and lastly that strange voice calling to me.'

'I want out! Let me out!' roared my wolf.

I can't explain what's happening to him. Why does he feel very affected by that strange voice? I had no other choice but to let him out and run to clear out his agitation. I rose from the bed and went out to the balcony of my room. I didn't bother anymore to get dressed for I didn't have to do it. I will be shifting into my wolf form and putting on a shirt and pants will be useless.

I hauled myself up from the railings and stand. I closed my eyes as I let him take control and jump. I jumped out from the balcony, shifting in midair. My bones crackled and extended, skin turning into fur. My blood rushes through my veins as my body reacts and adjusts on transforming into my beast. It just takes seconds for me to shift into my royal black wolf. Landing on four on the ground, standing on all its might. My wolf is a large one compared to a normal average wolf. Being the King of werewolves, my wolf form has a massive body, sharp fangs, claws, long and solid hard legs, and paws. And a very strong sense of hearing and sense of smell.

Before running into the deep forest, my wolf howled up above calling into no particular someone, and ran his way into the forest. I watch him run as fast as his legs take him, easily dodging the big trees on his way. Running freely into the wild, as I felt the rushing wind through his black shiny fur. I can feel the leaves whispering and rustling in the breeze. His right ear twitched from the sound he was hearing. He turns his snout to the right and changes his direction running from his right. I felt his pulse accelerate and his speed gets faster. Upon nearing the end of the dense forest, I sense we are closed to water for I felt the air suddenly change into a fresh one and hear a splashing sound. He slowed down his pace and hide behind one of the trees. I saw a stream just close to where we are and a deer was having a drink from it. He wait for the deer to finish off from drinking and saw that it was heading his way back into the forest. He silently waits for the deer and remains hidden behind the tree.

He just let the deer run back inside the dense forest and let him run away from him.

'Poor little deer' I muttered to myself. For I know even when the deer ran away from us, my wolf would easily hunt him down.

When the deer was out of sight, he started to run from the path the deer had taken. He loves to chase his prey. It gives him a thrill from hunting them down. From the way of his speed, we were easily near closed at the deer.

The deer suddenly got tensed when he sense us not far away from him and increase his run. But even when he runs faster, my wolf is way more faster than him. Tailing on its back, my wolf jump up from the air and landed hard at the back of the poor little deer. His claws dug deep into its skin and we stumbled and rolled through the dirt with the deer fighting his way out from my wolf's tight grip. The deer ended up yelping when my wolf bite hard on its neck until it was gasping for air and his blood bursting out, staining my wolf's fur. My wolf cruelly lavish the poor deer until his thirst subside and his satisfied with his hunger. Now that he had let out the hot fury building earlier from him, I take control now and him curling back inside me. I started to run back from the castle leaving the deer's dead body behind.

Nearing the castle, I stop running and shifted to my human form still with the blood deer covering half of my body, especially on my face. I walk out of the trees and saw the patroling wolves. Once they saw me they didn't dare to ask their Alpha King but they just silently bowed down and continue what they are doing.

Walking my way back into my room, something suddenly bumped and hit my feet. I looked down to see it was a ball. My eyebrows furrowed curious at the ball.

'What does a ball doing here? And why is there a thing like this here?'

Annoyed from the ball, I was about to get rid of it and kick it far away from here but the sudden yell of a little voice had me stop from doing it. I look up and saw a little pup running on his little feet heading towards the ball.

"You?! What are you doing!"

He continue his run and pick up the ball like he didn't see me "Why are you -" Once he had the ball in his little hands he suddenly look up at me and scream in horror.

"A monster!! Monster blood!" he continued to scream "Mommy! There's monster blood!" then he started crying.

"Will you shut that little mouth of yours!" I was pissed with this one "Now I'm the monster blood? Not the monster with no clothes huh?" I had no thing when it comes to kids. My patience is so little when it comes to them, especially like this annoying little one who kept calling me a monster with different kinds of monsters according to what he sees!

He keep screaming and calling his mom and it really makes my head hurt "If you don't stop crying, I will throw your ball far away and you will never have a ball again! Understand!" but to my dismay, he cried even more which made my headaches get worst. I scrunched my hand on my face and cursed.

'Do I really have to deal with this one!?'

"Oh, c'mon of course your the Alpha King" tease my wolf "It's your duty and responsibility to everything and anyone under your rule to protect and serve them and teach them. Like that little pup in front of you."

'Seriously?' I mentally roll my eyes like a shewolf usually does.

That is why maybe I don't have patience with pups for in my family we don't have one and because I don't have a sibling. I don't have someone with me growing up to take care of and to deal with.

Now, I wish I had a sibling little pup to know what would I do to this one.

I called out to one of the patrol guards and ordered him to take away the pup out of my sight before I could lose my patience and do something that may harm him. As the guard carried the pup away, a furious Denise came out from nowhere stomping her way to the guard and snatching the pup unto his grasp.

"What do you think you're doing!?" she angrily roared to the wolf guard. On the other hand, the wolf was startled and was just about to reply when suddenly Denise punch his face "Don't ever again touch my son!" then she turn in my direction and walk towards me leaving the guard bewildered.

"And you!" she angrily said "What do you think with this pup? A some kind of a toy that you just want to get rid off?" she carries the pup in her arms that is still crying "What the hell is your problem!?"

"Don't you ever talk to me like that! I AM YOUR ALPHA KING!" I roared, towering over her. My boiling anger coming off of me makes her body tremble and her wolf submits to the power I behold. While the pup had stopped crying but had his face shook in horror.

"I just had the worst day and now do I need to be concerned with that pup?!" I glared at her and she took one step backward shaking her head at me "What? What do you even think of yourself? Showing yourself here just like that! Give me a damn good reason, Denise!"

"You want to know why? Why I got back here after you left me and got rid of me? Throwing me away out of your life!" she put the pup down and face me, her chest heaving up and down.

"You know the answer to that! Why did I no longer want you in my life? For fucking sake, Denise! You already know it from the very start but what did you do? You fooled me! You lied to me!" I was fuming with anger now that the past had to be taken out again that I had long buried deep down. I stepped closer to her, and our bodies are inches apart "Now, you fucking tell me why do I even need to see you after all what you've done" hissing at her my voice is low and hoarse. I look into her eyes, searching for the truth.

"I will tell you why" Her voice was suddenly just a whisper and she turn her back to me to get the pup whose feeling frightened and confused "Mommy?" asked the pup but she didn't mind the pup's questioning look. Then she faces me holding the hand of the little pup beside her.

"It's because of him" she looked down beside her "I came back, because of him."

I suddenly sensed her sadness and sincerity in the way she talk about the pup but I also felt something telling me that there is more to what she is saying. And about what she said, that she came back because of that pup, what did she mean?

"What do you mean you came back because of him?" I was baffled and glared at the pup beside her. I was sick and tired of her unending suspense "As I said before Denise, why you couldn't just tell me straight to the point as to why?! What is your reason to show up here? You really want to tease me huh? To get fun of me? Is that it?" I balled my fist from the anger that was increasing minute by minute "Is it not enough what you have done last two years ago? What have you done to me?"

"Please, listen to me, Alex. I'll expla--" she said pleading to me to hear her side of her story but I cut her off. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Shut it Denise! And don't you dare call me by that name! You no longer have the privilege to call me like that!"

"Just listened to me once and for all!" she raise her voice for me to just let her explain "I came back for this pup's sake! And you all need to know that! You need to know about this pup!"

Just to end this damn conversation with her, I took my silence for her to continue. She look me in the eyes before she speak and look down once again at the pup "This little one here is precious to me. I hope you would try to understand the nature of being a pup and be patient with them. Be patient to him" then she tears her gaze to the pup and looks up to me "I hope you will treat him good and be kind to him because you need to know that he--"

The sudden sound of two wolves running had me turn round and Denise didn't have to finish what she was about to say for the two wolves interrupted us and came up to me abruptly. They stop in front of me and shifted into their human form.

It is not new for me, for us especially to Denise to see a naked man for this was our nature of being a wolf.

The two wolves bowed down after shifting and address me "Your Highness, Alpha King Alexander Gabriel."

"What?" I sense the wolves worried, their heartbeats are accelerating fast.

"My Alpha King we are one of the wolf warriors with your Beta Paul. We have already searched the northern area and Beta Paul had ordered us here immediately to report and relay his message to you" The warrior on my left had the one to speak up.

"And what is it?" I was itching to know what Paul had to say and had sent these warriors abruptly and had them relay his message instead of him reporting to me personally.

"First, my Alpha King you need to know that we already found the rogue's hiding place," said the second warrior.

"Then that is great!" I felt relief at the news I got and was good now that we had already found those damn rogues!

'At last, good news. Now, that just made my day a bit good.'

"How about the unmated shewolfs? Did you also find them?"

"Yes, my Alpha King. We had already rescued the unmated shewolfs that they had taken and they are now on their way here."

"Here? Why? Why not send them back immediately to their packs? I'm sure their families are worried for them." I was puzzled about what was happening.

"It's because they are in a bad state and we can't just send them back to their packs in their current condition."

The look on the warrior's face was unexplainable. I can feel their different kinds of emotions pouring out on them.

"Beta Paul said they need to be here at the castle, to give the right treatment for the unmated shewolfs and to feel that they are protected."

"What happens to them?"

"I--I can't say it right here, my Alpha King. It is confidential, you need to know it privately."

The wolf warrior got tense and looked up behind me to see that there was a shewolf and a little pup present with us. I didn't bother to look at Denise and didn't care now what she was about to explain earlier to me about the pup. There is a more serious problem I had to face right now than her.

"I understand. Now tell me, what does Beta Paul have to say to me?"

Before the wolf warrior on my left continue, he look up to his side at the wolf warrior beside him. Their face both changed into stern expressions then he continue to speak "We had also found their leader, which they called Alpha Rogue but he got escaped from us."

"A-and he was carrying a shewolf with him. I think she's also one of the unmated shewolfs. But she's the only one with the rogue and from what Beta Paul saw was that the shewolf was badly wounded" continue the other one.

"What?! You let that fucking rogue escape from all of you!" they both bowed their heads from the shame of letting the rogue run away "What do Paul doing? Why did he let that rogue run his tail away!?"

"It's because Beta Paul was horrified when he saw who was the Alpha rogue."

Confusion clouded me "What? And why is that?"

"Beta Paul was stunned and was frozen in place when he saw him" he gulped hard before continuing "After seeing the Alpha rogue he sent us here immediately. He said that we need to report to you who is the Alpha of the rogues."

Damn, this suspense! Why couldn't they just spill it already? I glared at both of them "Just fucking tell me!"

The wolf warrior stuttered in fear "Be-beta Paul said that the Alpha rogue's name was Malka. He called him Malka."

What? Did I hear it right?

"What did you say?" I ask the wolf warrior to repeat what he just said if I heard the name right or if it was not the one I know.

"The Alpha of the rogues' name was Malka" repeat the other one.

I was bewildered by what I just heard. A gasp from behind me had me clenching my jaw. It was Denise who was also surprised by what the wolf warrior said. I can sense Denise's heartbeat pounding hard and she tightened her hold on the pup.

'No. It can't be. It can't be him' I mentally repeat over and over.

"Fuck it!" bellowed my wolf and I shifted to my wolf and started to run my way in the northern direction leaving Denise behind with the two wolf warriors.

'I had to go there. I need to hear it right from Paul.'

My wolf ran fast, his paws digging deep into the dirt with the intensity of how fast we are running. As I sense the two wolf warriors had followed me and they just howled to me for I ran faster than them they couldn't keep up to my pace so Ichowled back for them to know to just keep following.

So many had happened in just a day. So many things had added up more to my confusion.

'What does Denise have to say to me about that pup? What do I need to know about him?'

I was growing more and more impatient nowadays and was damn exhausted thinking too much.

And now, this fucking news! This is not happening!

Paul had better be ready. If it's him that they are referring to, then I need to act fast!

Why do you have to do this, Malka?

'If it was really you..'

And one more thing that confuses me is that the wolf warrior had said that Malka was carrying a wounded shewolf.

Why?

And who could that be?
