One Leader One Lover

Chapter 4

Chapter 4:

Christians P.O.V

The day has come and words cannot describe my excitement, I will finally lead my pack to victory. I will be the one wolf that will go down in history for getting the pack to the top of the hierarchy. The whole pack house is ecstatic because my happiness has spread around the house. The plan is fool proof and cannot be discovered. To say I am proud of my warriors is an understatement, I’m just so joyful.

As I walk through the corridors I whistle the tune of that seriously catchy song by Pharell and I hear laughing behind my back. I turn to see my beta watching me and laughing.

“Ashton, just what do you find so humorous in my happiness? Can’t a man be happy and whistle down his corridors?” I’m way too happy to even scold him for laughing at me. “Nothing, your highness, you just seem happy today. I think I like this version of you, you’re relaxed carefree and if I didn’t know it was about tonight’s operation id think you were in love.” I observe that Ashton says the last part really cautiously like he believes it might just ruin my mood but I just laugh it off. I know he means no harm.

Without replying I walk off beaming as I go into the ballroom to choose my tux for the night. I see many members of my pack and they all bow their heads to me making me reminisce and think about how mean I am to my subjects. I, Christian Ambrosi, declare that after this successful operation I will be nicer to my subjects.

I have chosen a black tux with a black shirt and tie, if the royal family are going to die then it will only be right for me to wear all black. However under my black shirt I will have a royal blue vest to represent the pack. Royal blue and black are the pack colours and I can’t complete this mission unless the next heir to the throne knows it is us who has killed her parents, so when the task is complete my warriors and I will remove our black shirts to show our blue vests before we flee the scene.

It’s about time the Moonlight Pack knows who is boss and I will stop at nothing to wipe them out. A pack without an alpha or a suitable alpha is doomed and I am sure the king hasn’t completed his daughters training. Even if he has the pack is doomed; what kind of pack has a female alpha. She will be weak and mourning the death of her parents so that’s when I will kidnap her and her beta and gamma. The pack will be nothing. As my genius plan unfolds before my eyes my mistress of the week, Annabella, enters.

“Yes Annabella, how can I help you?” I don’t like my mistresses to feel used but I also need them to know it’s all pleasure and nothing will develop from our relations. “Your highness, our pack is asking for you to grace them with your presence before you leave the pack house to go on your journey to the Moonlight Ball tonight.” I wonder why they sent Annabella instead of Ashton. Maybe I need to end this relationship before my pack starts to think we are going to have a Luna soon. I follow her to the big assembly room and a sense of pride takes over my soul as I see my pack bow before me. My beta, Ashton, takes his place by my right hand and Annabella stands on my left, she should be bowing with the rest but I’ll let this slide.

“Rise my wonderful subjects. I am proud to say I am your alpha, your leader, the one that will lead you to the top. We say no to being second place and we will take action tonight. I know some of you are afraid that some of your warriors and I will not return tonight but I assure you we will come back to you and we will come back successful. Nothing will stand in our way from being on top. I am not afraid and neither are the warriors so you should not be afraid. As alpha of the Rouges I solemnly promise you that tonight we will return to you successful!” as I complete my speech the crowd cheers and rises before me. The pride I feel now tops the pride I felt before and even though I don’t want to I know this is my cue to leave.

I walk down the empty corridors and enter my room.  The tux I have chosen is hanging up on the full wall mirror to my left and I look at my mask. I will not be recognised in this party for a fact. I walk towards the mirror and check the time: 6pm we need to start our journey soon if we want to make it to the party by 9pm. As I remove my clothes I see the scar across my chest that will remain with me for the rest of my life. If I’m not doing this for my pack then it’s for revenge. My brother will be miserable for the rest of his life. I swear I will make his life a living hell.

As I put my tux on I stare into the mirror and think about how attractive I am. I’m not vain but I’ve been told many times I am a handsome young man and I’ve used it to my advantage many times and I know it’s not right but as an alpha I’ll use anything to protect my pack and myself. Females always fall for my charm and I know they can’t control themselves around me.

Im fully dressed and I use the link to tell the other wolves that we should be outside as soon as possible. As I get outside I see 4 big black SUVs and I take the front seat in the first one while everyone gets into the other cars. I stare out of the window as the car starts and prepare my mind for the three hour journey. I look up and see the sun setting and it takes me back to the day I left home:

I walked into my room and sat down on my bed after a long day of school and I grabbed my remote hoping to distract myself from the silence in my house. I couldn’t find anything to watch so I decided to go down to the kitchen and quickly grab something to eat before my brother came home. I ran to the fridge and found some yogurt that I knew didn’t belong to my brother and as I was grabbing a spoon I heard my brother approaching the front door. Panic set in my soul as I realised I was too late and there was nowhere to hide. My brother entered the room and I thought to myself, if we didn’t look alike then no one would ever know that we were twins. “Hello Christian. What are you about to eat? It better not be anything of mine you pathetic excuse for a guy.” I didn’t reply because he could clearly see it wasn’t his. “What do you want brother? I just want to go to my room and mind my own business.” I knew I shouldn’t have said that because he would get angry and that would end badly for me.

You see although we were both brothers my brother has always been stronger and faster than me but he hates me because I’m  smarter than him and in school I always get the achievements and he has bullied me since we started school. I knew he was mad at that moment by the way he moved towards me, his stance was that of a predator and he looked at me like I was his prey. He knew I couldn’t run so he trapped me in the corner. I stood still waiting for him to hit me but the contact never came. I opened my shut eyes and I saw a sinister look on his face that scared me. I didn’t know what he was going to do but I knew I couldn’t run and my parents weren’t coming home till late so they couldn’t save me. I’m not sure they would anyway; they hate me too because I’m not going to become a warrior of the Moonlight pack like my brother.

As I looked down at what my brother was holding saw the silver knife and the look of terror was clear on my face. As if he knew I was about to plead with him he removed my shirt and cut me down my chest. I cried out in excruciating pain as the silver burned into my chest and I knew this would leave a scar. As I looked up to my brothers face I said, “If I don’t get my revenge today I will get it sometime in the future. Tell mum and dad I hate them.” With that I stood to my feet and ran out of the house without a dime to my name. That same day I was found by my master.

So here I am on my way to kill the alpha and Luna of the Moonlight pack to get my revenge and lead my new pack to victory. As we arrive at the venue the adrenaline runs rapidly through my veins and I prepare for action.
