Adonis' POV
"Give me that! "
Eve unexpectedly snatched the television remote control I was holding.
"I mean who on earth stays up at night just to watch football." she continued, waving the remote in my face.
Don't react I kept telling myself. Four years of torment should have been enough to get used to her craziness, but it wasn't.
She keeps finding new ways to get under my skin and she always succeeds. By the way, you can't fight a man in his own house. Same goes for a brat.
"Don't you have pack duties to perform?! and look at me when I am talking to you "
I hesitated before looking up at her to give her a piece of my mind.
"You.... Whoa!"
She had turned to the television giving me a full view of her backside. The skimpy, see- through nightie she was wearing was enough to make any red blooded male throw away his discipline and I wasn't an exception.
"Hey where do you think you are going. I'm not done yet "
I stopped midway the staircase and turned to her.
" I think you have done enough. Goodnight "
It would be a curse from the moon goddess to have her as a mate. I pity her dad already. I thought entering my room and slamming the door.
You might be asking how I ended up here.
Here's a recap.
Six years ago.....
I fought hard not to sleep off on the ground, leaning against a tree trunk near the border while facing the direction mom took.
I don't even know why it's called a border. There was no fence, no traps, no barbs.
She didn't come. I really wanted to go look for her, but I didn't know the way back to my pack. I've never left the pack house before.
As I busy contemplating on what to do, I slept off.
She didn't return by Dawn.
I looked towards the border and I caught sight of pack warriors patrolling the border.
I was getting really hungry, my stomach grumbled in agreement.
I looked at the direction mom took last night and it didn't look welcoming, don't wanna run into rogue territory.
Gotta cross the border I decided.
I silently moved closer to the border, using the trees as cover.
I needed to cross without being noticed, Oliver, my best friend, claimed to have done it before. I don't even know where he was.
There were three men in all. One was making a phone call.
Not taking his job seriously, must be the leader I thought and an idea occurred to me.
I picked up a medium sized stone
And attached it to the catapult dad gave me.
Taking a good stance, I aimed at his forehead.
Not trying to be a David, but dad always says to attack and weaken the leader first, then killing the followers would be easy.
Dad always made me follow him to the pack training since I turned ten even though I haven't met my wolf.
I took part in the morning run, I knew a few war tricks and I could really kick.
I released the stone praying it hits it's target.
I heard it land and he dropped his phone.
"Ouch! My nose! " he yelled falling to his knees, fanning his bleeding nose with his hands.
Oops! It was not to land there, but it created a nice distraction.
The remaining two rushed to him.
"Now! "I whisper yelled and zoomed past the border, silently praying that they don't notice me.
"Hey! You! Stop! "
They noticed anyways and chased after me.
"Don't shift, don't shift " I started chanting. I know I stood no chance against wolf speed.
At a point, I stopped hearing their footfalls. I stopped running and turned to know what happened.
The three were no longer chasing after me. They looked like they were meditating or thinking, sort of.
Mind-link! How could I have forgotten about that I face palmed myself.
There was no point in running anymore. The rest of the pack must be coming for me.
The full moon pack is known for its brutality Oliver says.
The three on noticing that I had stopped running, approached me. It took a great deal to stand my ground and not take off again.
"You little bastard" said Mr Broken nose.
That was the last thing I heard before I was hit on the from behind and I lost consciousness.
Chapter 2
"A boy rogue? Unbelievable! "
"Yes Alpha. Pretty strong for a boy mind you. He almost took my nose with him "
I blinked multiple times before I could clearly see my surroundings.
I was lying on the ground, it was cold. I was facing a dirty wall.
I turned my the other way and was met face to face with a dry skull.
"Whoa! "I exclaimed sitting up.
I winced in pain closing my eyes. My head hurt badly.
"He's up "
I opened my eyes and looked through the bars separating me from the men looking at me.
It was Mr Broken Nose ( who was holding a tissue to his nose) and another huge, good looking guy with two guards.
Must be the prison I thought.
The huge guy approached the bars.
"You are too young to be causing trouble in my pack" he said with a serious expression, his voice booming across the room.
Not a normal way to begin a conversation I noted.
This kind of words get accompanied by a death sentence. Maybe hanging or a much worse.......
"I am Martin Anderson, Alpha of the full moon pack."
Bad news
"What brings you here? Who sent you?"
"Huh? "
"Answer him, you little prick! " yelled Mr Broken Nose.
"Or did 'huh' send you? " he continued and burst out laughing.
I think the stone kinda affected his brain through his olfactory nerves.
"My dad told my mom and I to come here. She left me at the border and went back for him. "
"Liar, liar pants on fire " Mr B. N. continued, still laughing.
This guy has really lost it..
"Who is your father?" The alpha asked, unmoved by Mr B. N's foolishness.
"Alpha Cole" I answered.
"Huh?" asked Mr BN who suddenly stopped laughing.
The alpha gave me a surprised look, before turning to the three men.
"Leave us"
"You sure about that? " asked B. N.
"Yes Will. I'll call you if need anything. "
"If you say so. "
He threw a suspicious glance and gave me an 'I got my eye on you ' sign before leaving with the guards.
"Who the heck is he? " I murmured.
"He's William, my Beta"
Oops!
"Sorry, It was rude of me to ask like that? "
"No problem " He smiled.
I like this guy
"So, why did your father send you here? He didn't tell me anything about it. "
"Maybe he didn't want to bother you "
"Why? What happened?" he asked clearly confused.
"We were attacked. He sent us away. Mom left me at the border and went back for him. I haven't heard from her since then "
"When were you attacked? "
"Yesterday night "
"Why didn't he tell me about it. I could have helped. Why is he always so stubborn?! "
He looked hurt.
"Can you help me find them?" I asked ignoring his outburst.
"Of course. For now, let's get you out of here. I'll send some men to find out the situation of the pack "
"Okay, thanks "
He led me out of the room.
I didn't the beta or any of the guards outside the door.
The pack house was a beauty to behold, but the interior was even better.
"This is beautiful. "
"Is it not? It cost a fortune "
He brought me to the living room, it was large and beautiful.
"Wait here, let me quickly fetch my wife. She's not responding, but feel free to look around. Don't get lost though " he instructed before ascending the staircase.
I nodded even though he had already left.
I waited for him for about two minutes before I began my tour.
I decided not to move upstairs. I left the room using the same door that led me in or so I thought. I ended up in a hallway, it didn't see it on my way in.
Weird
There was a large black door on one side and two on the other including the one I just used. I wanted to explore the rooms.
Not wanting to get confused later, I removed the gold chain bracelet I was wearing.
Mom gave it to me on my seventh birthday, said it was for good luck.
I hung it on the door knob that led me there as a reminder.
I went closer to the large, black door. It was then that I noticed that it was slightly open. Not wanting to disturb whoever was there, I quietly pushed it further open hoping it doesn't make any noise and stuck my head in.
"Ouch!" I yelled in response to the hardest blow I have ever received in my life.
The door opened fully to reveal a shirtless boy with a towel on his shoulder.
Is he black belt or what
"Whoever you are, have you never heard of the word knock? "
He asked.
I got up. My head stopping at his ears.
"And is this you teach then? " I responded, suddenly angry and still rubbing my sore head.
"Whoa! " He looked surprised "Who the heck are you anyway?"he asked, folding his arms.
He looked young, maybe my age or a bit older.
Just then the alpha burst into the hallway accompanied by a woman and a girl.
"Oh there you are. For a moment, I thought you had left. " he said with a sigh of relief. "Oh I see you have already met my son" He looked from me to the guy standing next to me.
Son?
"This is my wife Nancy and my daughter, Evelyn " he continued, referring to the woman and the girl giving me a nasty look.
"I am... "
"Forget the formalities honey, my mate has told me all about you." The Luna interrupted.
"Come with me so you can shower and have a nice meal " Luna Nancy instructed leading me out of the hallway.
"Yeah he really needs it "chipped in Evelyn, pinching her nose as soon as we passed her.
I instantly halted, but giving it a second thought I ignored her and continued walking.
She scoffed.
The Luna gave me her a surprised look.
"Manners young lady " she said but the brat just turned her head away.
The Luna took me upstairs and gave me a room.
" You will be staying here. Take a nice shower, I'll send dinner up to you. You must be tired."She said handing me a key.
"Thanks "
"You are welcome "
On her way downstairs, she stopped midway and turned to me "About my daughter, I hope you can forgive her. She's just being childish "
"I'm not a child, I am already ten!" someone yelled from the room beside mine. I only hoped that what I was thinking was false.
That can't be her room, maybe a library or store.
"It's okay. "I assured her and she continued her descent.
I got into the room to take the longest shower of my life.
"Come in " I said as I ushered the alpha son into my room.
He walked in carrying a tray with dinner for one in one hand and a tub of ice cream in the other.
"Looks good on you " he said referring to the PJs I was putting on. Found them in the wardrobe. "Used to be mine. Mom keeps our old clothes, says it reminds her of how cute and little we used to be."he explained, dropping the the tray on the little table near the bed.
"Thanks for letting me borrow. " I said still standing, looking at him.
"No problem" he replied handing me a plate of mouth watering meatloaf and mashed potatoes with gravy.
He laid on the bed, supporting his head with one hand and feeding himself with the other.
I joined him and he sat up.
"I believe we didn't start out well "he started, looking at me " Well, I'm Nicholas Jayden Anderson, alpha's son, twelve, handsome guy, Libra, lots of girlfriends "he said, smiling.
Weird much
"You?" he asked.
"Adonis Stephan Flame, alpha's son, same age, more handsome guy, Virgo, no girlfriends " I said, playing along.
"No girlfriends? and you still claim to be more handsome " he scoffed and I laughed.
"Stephan? Nice name. Mind if I call you Steph or Stephie? " he asked, bursting into laughter.
"Don't dare " I warned jokingly. " Just call me Stephan "
"Okay. You ignored my lil sis like a pro today. Love you for that "
I like this guy.
"Thanks, but what's her problem? "
I've never experienced immediate hatred from someone before.
"It's no problem, it's natural. " he said with a wink.
