The Alpha and The Vigilante novel Chapter 9

Alpha, Blood Lake has just crossed through our border. We have 10 warriors walking them to the Pack House now. They should be there soon.

"Remember, please do not provoke Alpha Cain. We have to get him to agree to be an alliance for us in the case of a war with Blue Moon. Ares, he may request you to take off the hood of your cloak and pull down your face mask, as it may be seen as a threat. Please do not fight him on that if he requests it." Alpha Wilson looked pointedly at me.

I rolled my eyes. I wasn't taking off the hood of my cloak no matter what. What I looked like remained a secret to most other packs, and I preferred it that way. The last thing I wanted was some rando Blood Lake dogs staring in disgust at my scars, bite marks, and missing flesh.

3 rapt knocks on the door was heard. Alpha Wilson breathed in deeply, and left the conference room to go greet Blood Lake, while the rest of us stood around the long, rectangular glass table, waiting to greet Blood Lake.

I could hear Alpha Wilson open the door, and could hear him greeting Blood Lake. In response, I heard a deep voice thank him for inviting him, and request to start the meeting immediately. Upon hearing the deep voice, I got butterflies in my stomach. What the fuck?

My wolf was going insane at the sound. I don't know what got her so riled up, but knowing her she was just being an overzealous bitch.

I could hear steps walking through the house, getting closer and closer to the conference room.

First, Alpha Wilson walked in. He was followed by an extremely tall figure, probably around 6'6 feet. He was extremely muscular, to the point where I could see the definition of his muscles through his dark dress shirt and black slacks. He was extremely tan, and his dark hair was tousled in a messy sort of way. His dress shirt was rolled up to his elbows, and I saw tribal tattoos swirled around his skin like another shirt. Tattoos even climbed up around his neck, poking out around his collar.

The most alarming part about him? His dark eyes, which were frantically looking around the room, until they settled on mine.

A jolt of electricity went through me as his eyes set on mine, and he growled out what I already suspected.

"Mate."

As he called me his mate, for the first time in my life, I froze. Impossible. I was certain the Moon Goddess would punish my cruelty by not giving me a mate.

His eyes darkened even more as he began taking long strides towards me. At his advances, I quickly snapped out of my stupor.

I jumped over the table on to the other side, where I was further from the door he walked through, and put the table in between us.

"Don't, Ares! What the fuck are you doing?" Alpha Wilson didn't use his Alpha command tone, so I wasn't forced to submit.

I can't let him take me. I'm sorry. I mindlinked him, without ever taking my eyes off Alpha Cain.

I threw both daggers at Alpha Cain, and sprinted out of the door before waiting to see where they landed. I was positive they both hit him; I never miss.

I ran out of the conference room and out of the Pack House, although I could hear footsteps following after me. Good luck. I was the fastest one in my pack, besides the Alpha.

I darted out of the Pack House, passing by confused looking Blood Lake warriors.

I continued sprinting until I was deep into the woods. I didn't dare to shift into my wolf form. It would be easier to hear me if I was in my wolf form, and if I was caught, I would be forced to shift back into human form, leaving me naked. The last thing I wanted was for Alpha Fuckface to try claiming me.
