The Legendary Wolf

Serena

~Noah’s POV~

I was sitting in my office reading the files of new buildings in my pack. My third in command came and said, “Alpha, Samantha called again, she wants to talk to you”.

Suppressing my growl, I nodded and dismissed him.

Samantha is Lisa’s daughter. They both are witches and Lisa is the reason why I hate witches so much. I killed her for destroying my family and now her daughter is trying to create problems for me.

I continued with my paperwork but my mind kept drifting toward the rogue. Duke huffed, “You should have gone with Taylor to see her.”

“He will handle her.”

“She needs to be loved and pampered not handled, you fool. She is our mate!”

I rolled my eyes at his response, “I told you I don’t want her and don’t forget she is here because of you.”

“I know she is here because of me, but don’t tell me you don’t want to know what happened to her, why she looked like this, why she is a rogue? Tell me you don't want to know that?” he asked.

I couldn't think of any answers to his question, so I shut my mouth and, thankfully, Duke didn’t push it further.

After a few hours, Taylor came back. He looked both confused and scary at the same time. I told him to sit, offered him a glass of water, and asked, “What happened? What's the deal with this look of yours? You look confused and scary both.”

He sighed, “Because I hate what happened to our luna. She had a tough life. She was”- he was interrupted by a call.

I narrowed my eyes at the unknown number, no one contact me on my number except my friends.

Taylor was narrowing his eyes too. I picked up the call, “Hello, is this Alpha Black speaking?”

“Who are you?”

“I am Dustin Fijj, a warlock. I know you hate our kind but I want to ask something. It’s related to my mate.”

I growled, their kind disgusts me, “And why do you think that I am going to answer you?”

He sighed, “I didn’t think you would answer but I wanted to give it a try. My mate, she ran away last night. We had a huge argument and she left because of that. She is almost 5’6’ tall with fair skin, blue eyes, and long black hair. Did someone matching this description was seen near your pack boundaries?”

Taylor and I looked at each other confused. Was he mentioning her? But why was he claiming my mate to be his?

Taylor mind linked me, “Don’t tell him about Serena, he is lying. You felt your bond with her right?”

I nodded.

“He is lying Noah”.

“No one was spotted near my pack,” I answered that warlock,

“Are you sure alpha?”

I growled and disconnected the call.

Serena... her name is beautiful just like her. But why was he was addressing her as his mate? She is my mate. Did he do something to her?

I closed my eyes and calmed myself. It doesn't matter if I accept her or not, but if those creatures are responsible for this condition of hers, then I will kill each one of them.

I looked at Taylor and asked him what he knows about this. He started, “Her name is Serena. Her clan was attacked by a group of witches, vampires, and rogues when she was 5. She survived but a warlock kidnapped her and, by her appearance, we both can tell she was tortured for 13 years. She had a friend there who helped her last night to get away from that place and led her to our clan. He told her about you and your hate for witches. She wants to get trained and take revenge for everything that has happened to her and the most interesting part is... she wants to fight alone. She doesn’t want to involve anyone in her battle. She only wants to be trained enough so she can fight him.”

A wave of so many emotions hit me. I was angry, upset, sad, and... guilty. My blood boiled when Taylor confirmed that it was a warlock who did this to her but I don’t understand why I was feeling guilty until Duke said, “You are feeling guilty because you rejected your mate, you should be the one listening to her and comforting her but no, you sent Taylor to her”.

I don’t know how to respond to that, so I chose not to say anything.

I further asked Taylor why he was confused.

“I think she belongs to the Luminescent moon clan,” he said.

I frowned and asked, “Wasn’t that King’s clan?”

Taylor nodded and continued, “She said her clan was attacked when she was 5 and everyone died. She was held as a captive for 13 years and Alpha, 13 years ago, King’s clan was attacked. Everyone died. There were no traces of witches at the luminescent moon but dead bodies of vampires and rogues were found.”

I agree, that was a huge attack that ever happened. Everyone died in that fight, including the king and queen.

“What are you thinking, Noah? She is your mate and she was tortured for years. She doesn’t want you or anyone from our clan to fight for her, she wants to fight on her own.”

“Start her training from tomorrow.”

Taylor gave me a victory smile and said, “I knew you will agree to this. I already told her to prepare for training and, yes, she needs to be introduced to the pack as well. She is a rogue to everyone.”

Taylor was smiling like an i***t.

“Stop smiling like an i***t Taylor!”

“I am happy, I should leave now.”

Everything that Taylor said kept revolving in my mind. Serena is a survivor. She survived thirteen years of torture and now she wants to fight on her own.

“You started liking her already,” Duke teased.

“No, I didn’t and if she thinks she can take a warlock and his army down on her own, then she is making a fool of herself.”

“Don’t talk like that about, mate. She is strong and you already said she is a survivor. No one can survive thirteen years of torture if they are not strong enough.”

“I am accepting her in my clan Duke, not in my life.”

Duke scoffed and said “You will realize your mistake soon, knothead alpha,” and shut the mind link with that.

I can’t believe my wolf is fighting with me for someone.

“She is not someone, she is our mate fool.”

“I thought you were done kitty cat.”

Duke huffed, “I will not shut up until you accept her” and with that, he was gone.
