THE FEMALE ALPHA

Chapter Twelve

"well, well, well. See who we've got here" He intones, his voice sending chills down my spine. The lingering look on me makes me quite uncomfortable.
He looks at me immensely with his black eyes and his smirk grows wider as he approaches me.

Wait.... Black eyes..?

There is something sinister about this stranger. He's good looking, I give him that, but in a very peculiar way.

I notice Malibu and Kevin tense besides me. Something about the way he stares at me tells me he's up to no good.
He looks at me like I'm his next meal, like he can't wait to eat me alive.

He's a pervert. I'll probably have to kick his ass.
I keep that in my mind as I return the stare.

Mr nameless (for now) approaches me, assuming the existence of Kevin and my mate. He moves closer and I can see it in those black eyes of his that he is lusting over me.
All of a sudden, I feel a tug in my arm as he grabs me slamming me against his hard chest.

His hand moves forward to hold my waist but I act on instinct. I shove his dirty hand away from me but before I do anything else, Malibu protectively holds me by the waist and pulls me closer to him, while growling.

"Mine" he says in a dangerously low voice. Mr nameless grins, and bows awkwardly before us, then says
"Milord, Milady, forgive your humble servant. Of course I didn't know you were mates." His voice so full of sarcasm. He then let's out a booming laughter.

'he's so weird'

It's as if he's mocking me! How can he afford to joke at such a moment. Anger coarses through me and the next thing I know is that my hand is on his cheek, which has now turned red, as a tomato.
The sound of a slap echoes through the room as Mr nameless stands there in shock, holding his cheek protectively.
He obviously didn't expect me to react that way. Feeling his anger bubbling, he glares at me viciously. "You bitch....!"

I brace myself, ready to give him more slaps but then everything happens momentarily after that.

Malibu towers before me and faces Mr nameless, an unfathomable expression on his face. His soft features are no longer soft. His voice comes out so clearly, it even stuns me at first.

"Gregory, don't you ever, ever touch my mate again."

So Mr nameless has a name after all.

"Did you just use your fuckin alpha tone on me?" Mr nam.. Gregory shots back at my mate
Suddenly the temperature of the room changes. I feel the floor tremble so hard. My heart jumps into my throat as the room starts shaking. Strong winds hit my body from every direction, whipping my hair into the eyes, rendering me unable to see anything.
I clunch my eyes shut from the force of it.

Wow, it's like mother nature is playing games on us. One moment everything is cool and warm and the next moment, there is a hurricane! A fuckin'hurricane.
In the struggle that ensues, I only wake-up to find myself cocooned in the strong arms of Malibu.

My mind trying to recall what happened earlier. I'm trying so hard to remember. Yeah, it comes in slowly, mr nameless, the slap, the strong winds.....

"W-what h-appened?" I ask, also shocked Abit by my incoherence.

"Are you okay?" Malibu asks me, his voice full of worry.
"Y-eah, I... I-guess I'm fine. Wh-at happened?"
Boom!, here we go again. Whatever happened to my vocal cords.

"Who is that guy, Gregory." I say while getting up from where the strong winds blew us to. I still can't believe that just happened.

'did he just use his hands to do that? I mean, all that wind? How did he do that anyway.' my subconscious mind keeps nagging me

"Hey, it's okay don't beat yourself much about that. Let's just say he's an air elemental. That's what he does when he gets pissed off."

Whoa whoa, he's an elemental? An air elemental to be precise. So he's one of the founders. And I just slapped him.
I can't believe I did that, but it serves him right.

"I'm sorry about that Demi. Now he knows you and he'll do everything to get back at you. You need to be safe."
Malibu says somberly. He holds me in his embrace. I'm lost in thought now, what follows is silence.

The buzzing of a phone draws us out of the trance. Kevin picks it up and listens to the booming voice coming from the other side of the phone.
"That served you right 'alpha'." He chuckles evily. I instantly know it's Gregory, the air elemental.

"Say hi to your fierce mate, but I'll come back for her. (Laughs again even louder now) Anyway, get ready for war. We want to take down the next pack so make up a plan as soon as possible. Only seven days, your time's almost up anyway." He drawls
"Tick tock, here we go."
He says then hangs up.

"This son of a bitch wants me to start another fuckin war?"
Malibu says bitterly. His eyes change color suddenly. He punches the walls and throws punch after punch randomly on tables, throwing chairs on the walls, until everything is a complete mess now.
At first there was the murderous winds, and now this. I cautiously move closer to him and wrap my arms around him.
After a real struggle of emotions, he eventually calms down to the comfort of my touch.

"It's okay Malibu, we'll find a way to bring them down. I'm here to fight along with you. We must win this war." I assure him.

"So, what do we do now." Kevin says

"I know exactly what we have to do." Adrian says as he gets in the room accompanied by Harvey.
"We'll fight against the warlocks. And we'll surely win. We have the full support of all the vampires. Some packs have agreed to join this fight."
Adrian continues

"And I'll lead my pack, my worriors are ready and well trained for this fight. Idc if the hunters are led by elemental warlocks. We'll fight for our people."
I say with so much enthusiasm, meaning every word.
After what I've seen, nothing will surely hold me back.

"We need to be brave though. I don't want the warlocks to know of this plan. My pack, my parents will be a memory to me. I can't let happen." Malibu says, matter of factly

'i can't let that happen to you either'

"So I'll need you all to act like everything is normal. No suspicious behavior should be perceived from any of you."
We all nod in agreement.

"Let's get on it then. However, Demi, get back your wolf. You don't have to hide anymore. And as for your brother, we'll make sure he's safe from the warlocks because he's precisely the most important prisoner."

Suddenly, the door opens and a restless Jade gets in.
"Are you alright alpha?"
He asks as he rushes to my side, checking for any bruises or scars
"I'm fine Jade. How did you know?"

He however ignores my question but I already know how.

"So it's all settled down. We'll meet tomorrow here and plan everything out."
Malibu dismisses the meeting.
We all walk out of the office, extremely anxious of the safety of our packs and a pledge to do everything in our power to defeat the warlocks.

But first, I need Jewel back. Yay
