Chapter 4

• *Kayden's POV*
• "I'm not going to tell you." Lauren burst into sudden laughter.
• "What the..." I shook my head.
• "Okay then," I added and returned to the contract I was reviewing.
• "Really? Just okay? Can you just please show some interest in what I am saying? Your lack of interest is killing the urge to speak in me,"
• "C'mon, you just told me right now that you are not going to tell me, you were not expecting Alpha Kayden to beg you, right?" I asked and she stood up with a huff.
• Jay growled in me, he was particular about disrespect and Lauren's huffing was one.
• "Lauren," I called, my eyes turning dark for a split moment.
• "I... I didn't mean to Alpha," she replied.
• "It's okay, I almost lost control for a moment," I said.
• "It was my fault but then you should show a little interest, okay?" She asked, trying to be as pleasant as hell.
• "Taken,"
• "Now do you want to know who he is?" She asked.
• "Your choice,"
• "Here we go again," she grumbled and picked her bag.
• "Bye."
• "Bye Lauren,"
• She exited the room and I breathed out in relief, now I can focus a bit on work, well that is if Jay lets me.
• "Well I am not going to, we have a lot to talk about, first our mate and secondly the wolf hunters," he chirped in and I groaned.
• "Not now Jay"
• "You are unbelievable! You listen to Lauren so attentively but me,"
• "I listen to you all the time," I replied to him.
• "Then you should now too,"
• ************
• I took a look at my wristwatch, it was time for me to leave.
• I grabbed my suit and slipped it on, grabbed my suitcase and exited the office, locking it securely behind me.
• "Hey Davis," I called, creating a private mind link.
• "Yes Alpha?"
• "Are you in the town already?" I asked.
• "Just getting there," He replied.
• "Go to see the Alpha immediately," I ordered.
• "Sure Alpha but I do think the alpha is no longer alive," he replied.
• "What the... Find the alpha first, how brave would those wolf hunters be?!"
• "I will inform you about my progress alpha," he replied and I ended the mind link.
• It's time to do something about these wolf hunters, if they took down the alpha then it will be marked as incompetence on my side, and that is what I detest, incompetence!
• I could feel Jay jump and growl in me, threatening to take over in our fit of rage.
• "Calm down Jay, we are going to get them, I promise," I promised him and he purred, it was evident that he was trying to get calm.
• I got into my car and looked out of the window.
• "Go," I ordered and the car began moving, at a slow pace at first before the speed increased.
• The breeze that flew my face did so much in calming down my raging mind.
• "We are here Alpha," the driver announced and I got down from the car without a word.
• "Welcome Alpha," a row of maids greeted and I handed over the suitcase and my suit.
• I walked in and headed straight to my room. I plopped to my bed and massaged my creased eyebrows for a while.
• "Let's get ready," I mumbled, trying to encourage myself to go to the party.
• I wished I had declined the invite. I took a quick bath and dressed up in a tuxedo.
• I took a look at myself in the mirror and no doubt I was looking outstanding just as an alpha of my status should.
• I picked my golden wristwatch and put it on. I finally exited the room and got to the black car that was instantly opened up for me.
• I got in and took my favourite spot, the window side.
• The car moved and with us moved my escorts in other cars.

• *Samantha's POV*
• "Get up! Get up you all! Move to the other side," I woke up to the noise.
• "What's going on Cara?"
• I was still pretty much confused when I was pulled up. I looked around and the other girls were being shifted aside.
• I was thrown roughly to the side but I got up quickly and saw more girls pushed in, they were crying badly and at once that they were our new inmates.
• "I wonder what pack they are from,"
• "I wonder who the heck is the alpha of alphas! The whole packs are going to be enslaved!" Cara yelled in my head.
• "Can you stop causing a ruckus in my head? I am not the alpha of alphas you seek for goodness sake,"
• "As usual, I am going to be giving you the pleasure to see them being given the mark, the mark that signifies you all being a slave," one of the masters said and a pot of hot coal was brought with the pan that they called the stamp.
• I caressed my mark that was at the back of my neck, a bit different from where all others have theirs.
• Granny said I showed too much resistance and they just had to stamp me where they got the chance.
• I shut my eyes tight, I didn't want to see the stamping, I didn't want to see their smiles while we cried.
• My eyes tightened as I heard the screams from the other girls.
• "Please! Please!!!" I heard them scream but what can I do? Nothing, I am also helpless, we all are helpless!
• But I wasn't supposed to be this way, I could not deny the anger and rage I felt at times when a member of my pack was being tortured.
• I know the feeling of loss I feel whenever I lose a member, after all, I was the alpha and the alpha was not supposed to be helpless.
• "Alphas fight, alphas do not cower and whimper", Cara replied in agreement with my thoughts.
• "Alphas protect, they do not wait to be protected!"
