Hushed Desires

Chapter 4 - Her

C A R L O S

Here I am doing some paperwork when somebody knocked. So nice of them to disturb me. Note the sarcasm

"Come in." I said bluntly, not caring whoever enters

Spencer, my beta and best friend, comes in with a couple of documents and a letter, "Here are the documents you asked for and a letter from one of Alpha Ace's warriors."

"Good. Put them on my desk, I'll see what Ace's letter is about. You may go." He walked to the door and was about to leave when I called him back, to which he stood in front of my desk

"Carlos?"

"I want you to gather information about the recent rogue attacks from all the warriors. All of them. There is something to these rogue attacks that meet the eye." I growl lowly at the last part

"Yes, Alpha. I'll have our smartest and most observant warrior to see into these if she hasn't, which I doubt." I nodded, "Anything else, Carlos?"

"No, you may leave." He leaves my office, carefully closing the door behind him.

I continued doing my paperwork, and there are so many things to do in this pack like the alpha meetings, pack meetings, and also finding a Luna. My Luna. A pack is not complete without its Luna or Alpha female.

'I hope our mate is not a slut or something.' Mateo, my wolf, growled at the thought of having a slut for a mate and Luna

'I'll make sure she isn't one, if we even find her.' I reassured Mateo

After finishing the paperwork, I grabbed the documents Spencer gave me. Foundation for the new school and hospital?

Wait, I forgot about those. I was gonna build a new hospital since the current one is very crowded and a new elementary school and high school since our population of pups increased, the elementary pups are gonna be moving to high school soon.

Three floors for the elementary and four floors for the high school. Great .

Okay, five floors for the hospital. Ground floor, upper floors, and the top floor.

I looked around my desk, putting the documents aside. I find the letter Ace gave me still in its casing, I grab it and opened its case.

Dear Alpha Carlos Grayson Knight,

You are once again invited to the Gala hosted every year at the palace. We would be honoured to see you at the Gala to represent The Mortisnox this year. We hope you the best.

- Alpha Ace of Audaxstrat

The Gala is held every year with alpha's taking turn to host it at the Palace. Last year was my turn, now its Ace's. Every pack's representative goes there every year to represent their pack; the female and male gammas, Beta female and Beta, and the most important of them all, The alpha and their Luna.

In my case, I only go with Asher, Julia, and Spencer since Asher and I haven't found our mates.

'ROGUE ATTACK ON THE NORTH WING OF THE TERRITORY!!!' One of my warriors mindlinked, making my eyes widen

'Females and pups take shelter under the pack house IMMEDIATELY! Those who wish to fight are welcomed.' I mindlinked the entire pack as I ran down the first floor only to find Spencer and a red-headed female helping everyone enter the basement.

I signalled all my warriors, and we shifted before running to the northern part of my territory.

I tackled a rogue that was about to kill one of my warriors and ripped his throat out. I was about to tackle another rogue when I was tackled by one, sending me to the ground. I kicked her using my hind-legs, sending her flying a few feet before landing unconscious

I looked around and saw the leader of the rogues. His growls and snarls were at me, but I remained unfazed. Stupid mutt.

I lunged at him, attempting to rip out his throat, but he dodged. As he dodged, I clawed at his eye, blood leaking from it. How good that felt. He watched as his own blood dripped from his face to the ground.

He snarled at me as he launched at me, sending both of us on the ground. I prepared for impact as he tried to bite my face. He got pushed off me by Spencer.

'Good to see you here, Spencer.'

'Sorry, I'm late. I had to make sure everyone was safe down with someo-' He got cut off as the rogue lunged at him, sending tumbling back

I head bumped the rogue off of him, I snarled at him, making him run off like the coward he is. I helped Spencer up before he rushed to help one of the warriors with white and reddish-black fur. It's probably the one he's been yapping about. What's her name? Tina? Athena? Eh, it's not important when you're on a battlefield.

I ran to a warrior who's currently under a rogue. I head bumped the rogue and trapped her against a tree he landed.

I let out a loud growl, making him shiver in fear as he let out quiet whimpers. I brutally crushed his head in my jaws, making a loud cracking sound. After I was done with him, I threw him to a rogue who was winning against one of my warriors, trapping the rogue underneath the males dead body.

A sudden earpiercing howl emitted through my territory as all the rogues retreated. F*cking cowards.

I assigned a few of my warriors to take back the bodies for proper funerals. A lot of dead bodies of rogues covered the area, even one on a tree. It was a female with a very large branch impaled against its chest as blood dripped down from her mouth and chest. How did she get up there anyway?

I walked to the hospital, still in my black wolf form. I entered, and the doctor gave me shorts, I walked to the male's restroom and put it on. The doctor rushed to me.

"Alpha, are you okay?" One of the pack doctors, Samuel asked me

"I'm fine, Samuel. I havs no injuries of any sorts, but I need the list of all the dead wolves' families."

"Yes, alpha. Right away."  He rushed out and came back in with the list

"Here you go." He handed me the list as I got out

I bumped into someone, or she bumped into me. She was absolutely beautiful, no doubt. Her fiery red hair reflected the white tiles of the hospital. Her eyes. They were mismatched, one a forest green with specs of brown and the other a midnight blue with specs of silver present in them, like the nightsky.

I hadn't realised I was staring at her when she said something, but paid no mind to it, it was like I was entranced by her. I suddenly snapped out of my thoughts.

"Oh, it's alright.." I said, feeling stupid for staring at her.
