Enticing The Alpha

Chapter 3

"What's going?" I asked Kyle as we broke into a jog towards the pack borders. I have been asking him this question about a million times now and he still refused to answer saying I would 'see' at the borders, "Can you please tell me? I am losing my mind here" I nearly growled, my nostrils flaring in anger.

I was growing impatient at every ticking second.

Kyle stopped running making me automatically stop too. He eyed me carefully as if he was debating something internally, "Someone left a little warning at the pack borders and it seems like it is meant for you" He finally broke the actual news making my eyes nearly bulge out from its sockets, "Dad is losing his mind out there. He has already sent a troop of warriors to search through the area if the intruders are still here"

I let that information process in my mind first. I almost cringed when he told me my father is losing his mind. We know that can't be good. My father has always been a man with a temper and he loses it easily too. He was very protective of us in the beginning that it was almost suffocating.

I know he did that because he loves us but still...I wished he wouldn't look over his shoulder every time he hears something rustling in the woods

Luckily for us, my mother was not as strict as him. She easily diverts his attention and makes sure we get as much as space we can and that helped us a lot.

My mind went back to the current problem and I couldn't help but frown, "Who would want to send a warning to me?" I asked myself loudly. I never messed with anyone's life recently, "I don't remember making anyone angry recently" I added starting our jog again.

And of course, Kyle easily kept up with my pace, "That's what I have been wondering as well. Another reason why dad is being this serious about this is, those are vampires doing. Dad can smell it even though it is barely noticeable" He finished.

Now I started to connect the dots. I knew it has something to do with the vampires I met in the forest earlier, "Oh s**t. I know what this means" I muttered under my breath. I just had a bad feeling about this, "I am going to get grounded. That's for sure"

I can almost picture it now. My father me watching me like a hawk all the time to make sure not even an ant hurts me now.

"At least you can still attend the wedding," Kyle said, snapping me out from that awful mental image. I craned my neck to the side and glowered at him. Does he think that is a good thing now? "What? That is something to be happy about right?" He asked me when I continued to glare at him.

"It isn't!" I exclaimed, "He won't let me be by myself there" I pointed out my concern. He won't let me attend my friend's wedding in peace. But I know that we will still go to that wedding despite everything because it is the King's wedding after all.

The entire werewolf race has waited for this day.

"Well, who wouldn't?" Kyle asked, "Someone is watching you and they even left a warning for you. Of course, dad will be more protective of you than ever cause you're his princess"

I scowled at my brother, "You know what? Let's just pick up the pace" I grunted, running as fast as I can. This is something I have been showing off to my brothers since I was little. I am faster than them in our human forms and they are jealous of it.

"Ah, you have to do this!" Kyle grunted, struggling to keep up with my pace.

I couldn't help but grin at his annoyance. Eventually, we reached the pack borders and I can see a few people who are holding the highest position in this pack huddling over something.

My throat went dry as the anticipation to know what was wrong started to skyrocket. I hoped it wasn't as bad as Kyle has been suggesting but by the looks of it, it does look like someone left quite an impression there.

The moment they heard us joining them, the crowd started to part, giving me a path straight to my father who was looking down at something with his back to me. His shoulders looked stiff and he was clenching and unclenching his fists. A habit he does only when he is furious.

I took a deep breath and started to walk to my father. With every step I take, I felt I was somehow stronger. The worst my father can do is grounding me other than that everything would be fine.

Maybe a month or two after today, I would be able to convince him to set me free again.

"Dad?" I asked once I reached him.

My father didn't turn to face me right away but his whole posture went rigid, "Dad, what's wrong?" I asked him, worry clear as a day in my voice. I raised my hand to place it on his bicep and gave it a gentle squeeze, "Are you alright, daddy?"

My father finally slumped his shoulders, relaxing under my touch. I took that as a good sign and took another step to peer down at what he was looking for.

I wouldn't deny it. My heart literally stopped beating for a second.

Sophia,

We will come for you.

Those are the words that have been written on a plank of wood, along with some voodoo doll that has been stabbed multiple times. I didn't think the words scared me but the doll definitely did. How creepy it was...

A gasp left my lips and my father turned around to face me in a blink of an eye and pulled me into a hug, "It doesn't matter who did this" He spoke to his teeth, pressing his chin on top of my head, "No one will touch you!" He growled.

I shuddered against his chest as low growls started to build up in my throat, "Dad, it is okay. I am okay" I comforted him, running my hand up and down behind his back. He can't lose his temper now.

"I want everyone to sweep the perimeter closely and update me if you see anything out of place" My father commanded to our packmates, the fury in his voice made bile rise in my throat but I swallowed it back, "If anyone finds a bloodsucker lurking in here, do hesitate to kill it. Am I clear?" He literally snarled at the end.

I could feel the tension in the air tenfold and I couldn't help but feel sorry for my packmates. They have to go through extra hours of patrol just because of me. Not to forget how tiring it will be but nonetheless, their submissiveness towards their Alpha made them bow down to that command.

"Dad, that is unnecessary. We know our pack is protected" I reasoned, pulling away from him, "Someone is probably messing with us but they are not brave enough to confront us-"

My father shook his head, "I do not care if they are brave or not. They clearly threatened me and I won't let it slide" He spoke through his teeth, "What are you waiting for? Go cover the entire perimeter now!" He commanded and without another word, everyone scrambled away from there, afraid of what their Alpha might do to them.

I sighed, my eyes flickering towards Kyle and Jasper who were standing there with hard exteriors, "Get her back home" My father commanded again to my brothers.

I whipped my head to the side to look at my father again, so fast that I can almost hear a sickening c***k somewhere in my neck, "Dad, I think I can get home safely by myself" I protested, "There is no need for anyone to escort me"

It felt I was talking to a wall. My father didn't even look my way. He simply turned around to walk away from there, "Get her home safely or there will be consequences if I get to know you two weren't there with her" His cold words made me flinch away from him.

I heard Kyle taking a step towards me, "Sophia, let's go" He whispered, tugging me with him.

My blood started to boil underneath my skin but I held myself together. There is no point in venting out my anger on my brother but still, I yanked my body away from him dramatically and started towards our house with both of my hands clenched my fists tightly at my side.

My brothers caught up with me easily but never uttered a word until we reached our house. I could feel their discomfort but I was glad that they didn't say anything.

"Sophia" Kyle said cautiously from behind me.

Looks like they are not going to leave me alone.

"What?" My tone was sharp. I was emotionally unstable and it frustrated me that I can't go out for a run now. Not even if I want to. My father is my Alpha too and it is impossible to go against his word. My wolf wouldn't let me.

From the corners of my eyes, I can see them exchanging worried glances, "Are you okay?" Jasper asked softly.

I know he was only making sure I was alright but the soft tone he used on me annoyed me. Like I am fragile glass that is threatening to break at the softest touch, "Yeah. Peachy" I said sarcastically, stepping into the house, "I rather not talk about it so please don't try to make me feel better"

I made my way straight to my room, banging the door shut behind me. I looked at the side and saw a vase resting on my drawer chest and without thinking I grabbed it and smashed it to the ground.

I watched in rage as the vase shattered into a million tiny pieces, scattering against the floor just like my heart did when my father acted cold to me earlier. Everything in me screamed to be let out so I can find whoever dared to do this and punch the living daylights out of them.

But I know, the best thing I can do now is to probably let things be the way it is now. I know my father feels threatened but I can't make that go away in a day. I will slowly earn his trust again and make sure the pack is safe at the same.

After all, it is my duty to protect my pack too. I am the Alpha's daughter. His firstborn to be exact.
