Isaac Miller
I was born to do one job and that was to enforce the law made by our ancestors. With no emotions, no persuasion, nothing to sway me from being a just enforcer of the law. I had no problem with my job, I've been doing it for most of my life. I'm 32 years old now, and I've seen and done every mission that came my way. Bounty hunts are usually special requests from council members', alphas, and betas who don't want loose ends getting out of hand. So, the possibility of my services being required by Alpha Myers was sort of off. On the other hand, Alpha Myers was a known jackass in the werewolf community, but a brutal one at that.
So the fact that he called me, wanting to hunt and possibly kill a dangerous rouge that allegedly escape his prison seemed somewhat fishy. But then again, the council and other high-ranking members are fishy in general.
I was currently in his office waiting for him to finish up whatever he was doing, I didn't need to guess what he was busy doing. Especially when he walked in smelling of sex, in his underpants. I know nudity isn't a problem amongst wolves but c'mon man. No one wants to see your junk, especially not me.
"Ah, you're here early."
I've been here for the last 45 minutes waiting for you to grace me with your presence.
"Alpha Jeremy" a flat tone response, with a direct stare into his eyes, that hardened at my show of defiance and disrespect to his authority. But I didn't know what he expected from me, I gave no respect to alphas just like that. Whether the trees shook and the leaves cowered just by the sound of your name wasn't my problem and didn't affect me in the slightest. As long as you abided by the laws set in place, I have no right or want to be concerned with you or any matters concerning you.
As an enforcer, the best power I held was not being at all affected by either the power of alphas or the alpha king. I mean history has proven, time and time again that high-ranking members are the cause of corruption and segregation during peaceful times for the pack. Kidnapping other alpha's mates to use as leverage or for breeding, usually when this said mate has extraordinary powers that are thought to be linked to the goddess herself to make them more powerful.
My job as an enforcer was to keep the peace, sometimes as enforcers, we were used as bodyguards for the alphas, kings, lunas, and their pups. But especially the lunas and their heirs were both considered essential to the continuation of pack lineage. The Lunas, usually true mates to the alphas were chosen as the vessel to carry the heir to the pack, the next ruler. Without either all there was, was an angry beast with absolute control over mindless wolves who would do anything to please their alphas.
As long as their alpha was satisfied then they were happy. That was dangerous, for lack of a better word.
"I want you to find someone for me"
"Of course you do. Why else am I here?"
His glare and growl of disapproval were enough for a solid smile to form on my face. Alphas like him were arrogant and self-centered. Easy to anger. They weren't fond of enforcers and I wasn't particularly fond of them either. But they were usually the ones that wanted... no...needed our help in tying up their loose ends.
A folder was put in front of me, and opening its contents staring back at me was the most gorgeous, badass woman I've ever seen. From what I could see her hair was black in this photo, it looked pretty shiny. Green, jasmine-colored eyes stared right back at me. Plump full lips and from what little cleavage was poking out of her V-neck sweater I'd guess she had maybe a C cup at most.
It says here she was 5'6, pretty tall for a girl, and comes from a warrior bloodline. That explains quite a lot, the beauty and those tanned feminine muscles screamed fighter in disguise.

It took a while, but it finally registered. There's no way he wanted me to kill her.
My eyes snapped to the alpha in front of me "You're not serious right?"
"What do you mean?" why is this dude confused
"She's the one you want me to basically get rid of."
"Obviously"
"What law did she break exactly?"
Probably saying no to this arrogant jackass.
"She committed treason against the alpha and Luna of this pack, and she also murdered an innocent child, kidnapped my Luna, and tortured her."
I blinked once.
I blinked twice.
I blinked three times.
Before looking back at the portrait in front of me, there was no way that this angel face of a girl in front of me did any of the stuff that he was saying right now. Mean even if she did, no one just goes about committing the biggest crimes known to werewolf kind just because. There was question after question, warning sign after warning sign going off in my mind right now.
Why would she do any of those things?
I mean it says here that her family is pretty well off. They're not rich but there's no reason for her to go kidnapping a pregnant Luna, so money wasn't a part of this.
What role did the alpha and Luna have to play in any of this?
Most of the time, serious acts of treason committed against the alpha and Luna of the pack, are usually because they played a major role in destroying the lives of their pack members whether unknowingly or knowingly.
Is there something he's not telling me? His true motives behind wanting to catch her.
I wouldn't be surprised.
But the main question was why?
"Look Chuck you're going to do it or what? Cause if not I've got many who will do the job without asking so many damn questions."
I wasn't sure whether I wanted to take this case or not. Out of all the cases that I've done this one had me baffled beyond imagination.
Should I really take this case?
Should I hunt Delancey Johnson?
