Royals

Chapter One

The sweat dripped down Alyssa's neck as the heat of the flames radiated off of the pack house behind her.

She heard a growl come from behind her and turned around to come face to face with the Beta of the pack in human form.

"You took everything." He panted.

Which was very true, she had burned every part of his pack and nearly killed his mate. Although she didn't hurt his kids.

She could never hurt kids.

One weakness she'd never tell anyone.

Alyssa just shrugged. She had no time for this. King Spencer was waiting for her mission report and she'd rather not have it in to him late.

She took a fighting stance as the Beta shifted. She dodged his first attack by sweeping right and kicking his back legs out from under him.

He skidded to a stop, his muzzle directly in the ground. He let out a pained growl and turned back to the rogue he was fighting.

She shifted into her pure black wolf and let out a growl of her own. Alyssa's wolf, Aria, called out to her and said,

"Let me take this one please."

Aria had an unusual thirst for blood. Most likely a trait she got from her father.

Alyssa gave into Aria and let her wolf take down the Beta with a swift, lethal blow to the throat.

They both heard a painful, heartbroken howl come from the female Beta, his mate.

Aria nearly cringed but Xavier snapped them out from their trance. His also black wolf stepped out and they both shifted.

They were both fully clothed due to a spell on their clothing placed by a witch.

"We done here?" Xavier asked.

"I took down both betas and injured the Alpha and Luna. Pack houses are gone so, yea, I think so."

"Ok let's go then." Xavier said.

Alyssa and Xavier are two of King Spencer's best fighters...not to mention the youngest of his 6 kids.

They walked back to the car they had driven there and Alyssa got in the driver seat to Xavier's dismay.

"You don't even have a license yet." Alyssa said, matter-of-factly.

Xavier paused before saying,

"We kill and destroy packs for a living and this is what you're worried about?"

"Well...regarding the license I don't want to get in trouble with the human cops and for the pack business...we only have to worry about the werewolf King, who hasn't come close to catching us yet so I'm not worried."

Alyssa put the car into gear and drove 3 and a half hours back to their house/headquarters.

Every ranking officer King Spencer had lived in headquarters, along with staff and guards.

Alyssa got out of the car and tossed the keys to one of the lower ranking guards and said,

"Put this back."

"Yes Miss Wilder." He said before scampering off.

Another young guard came up to Alyssa and Xavier and said with a bow,

"King Spencer has requested your presence Miss Wilder."

Alyssa rolled her eyes but walked inside saying to Xavier,

"Can you handle the report?"

"Yeah no problem. Good luck though."

King Spencer Wilder can be a scary man. He could rip someone's throat out while talking sweetly to another person as if nothing ever happened.

Alyssa sucked in a deep breath and walked to the second floor where the offices lay.

Screams of fear could be heard through King Spencer's office and Alyssa decided to wait before going in.

A warrior covered in blood hurried out of her father's office and Alyssa knocked on the door.

Hearing her father's voice say,

"Come in."

She went into the blood spattered office.

King Spencer was wiping his hands on a cloth and said into an office style phone,

"Someone come clean this mess up."

Alyssa looked for a place to sit but everything was covered in blood or had a dead body on it so she ended up standing.

King Spencer glared at her before his eyes softened and said still in a hard voice,

"Alyssa, mission report."

"Beta male is dead and beta female will be shortly. Alpha and Luna are severely injured. Pack house is burnt. Most warriors are dead but some managed only major injuries."

"Good." Spencer grumbled.

A knock on the door sent his eyes gliding up and a rogue omega walked in with a sponge and water in hand.

"Wait." King Spencer commanded and the omega listened without hesitation.

After a moment's pause he said to Alyssa,

"A new solo mission for you." He passed a manilla folder to her and she glanced through it.

It seemed simple enough that he could probably send the twins to do it so she asked,

"What's special about this one?"

"It's only 10 miles from Royal Land. I trust you can do this."

"Yes my king."

Although King Spencer gave his children titles in his kingdom, he was more a king then a father to them.

"Good, also go check on Tyler, he's been having a rough time since mom died."

"Of course. Anything else?"

"You will be leaving at 4 o'clock this morning so rest up."

"Yes my king."

"Dismissed." He said, without a second glance to his only daughter.
