Heartless Alpha's Tainted Mate

Chapter 1

Alpha Aedion POV

The mystic shadow pack is one of the largest and darkest pack in the Canis Lupus wolf’s world. Anyone who trespasses the pack without permission, is sure in for a death wish. Because the Alpha Aedion does not have the word mercy in his dictionary.

The rogues or enemies, who dare to cross his lands, cannot escape. The infernal land is built as a maze from which no one can escape. Today, like any other days, that’s what happened, a rogue entered the infernal mystic lands of the shadow pack, undetected, or so he thought.

The mystic shadow pack is cruel and let’s the prey think that they came undetected, when that is not the case. The pack’s Alpha and his warriors let their enemies or other rogues enter their territory without alerting them. the Alpha knows it the moment someone has trespassed his land. He has powers and technology. He lives both in the human and rule the werewolf world. But the humans do not have any idea about him being a werewolf and that too a powerful one.

All of them wait as the rogue enters their pack, trying to be stealth with his footsteps. He could not be a bigger fool than that.

“What a fool” whispers Adolf. One of the pack’s strongest warrior and lead.

“all who come here are fools, if they keep trying to trespass my land” was my reply with a grim look on my face.

“for now, let’s pounce and attack him” I state darkly.

“Cease” the rogue stops short and turns around, his stance was rigid. But he is nervous.

“Who sent you here?” asks Xerxes, my beta.

“no... one” he stammers.

His fear let him to stammer. And the weak one’s does not have any place in my territory. Every rogue that tress passes my lands, come here out of curiosity. They want to know the mysterious behind our pack and why me, the alpha is so dark and powerful. Only the fools try to attempt. I never take the weak ones in my pack.

“why are you here, on our land?” he asks the rogue.

“out of curiosity” was his reply.

Slowly, I walk near him. His eyes widen when recognizes me. Not surprised. He surely is curious.

“well, there is no mercy” with that I snap his neck in one swift move.

His body rolls down and he falls on the ground. I dust my hands and walk away.

The guards will take care of the body and his remnants.

I had not even walked far away, when I feel my beta’s presence. I don’t wait for him as he catches upon me and now, he was beside me.

“He did not deserve it” he states. There was no emotion in his voice at all.

 I expected him to come and contradict my ways and how I live by them. he is the only one who can challenge me. We clashed many times. He is my friend who turned foe. He should be behind cells for what he did with me all those years ago. But god help me, my conscience and my wolf did not let me. I don’t know why he trusts him even after knowing the truth. I am feared by all except for him.

“and why does it matter to you” I retort with my grim look.

His lets out a sigh and shakes his head at me.

“Grow up. stop behaving and following the wrong principles. We both know, what you did is wrong. He was curious. Period. There was no hint of malice.” He starts his preaching.

I don’t reply and walk further away from him.

“running away does not suit an Alpha” he taunts.

That made me stop and turn around to face him. My eyes darkened and anger simmering in my veins.

“Says the person, who did not care about his own principles. Who betrayed his brother? Stop with your preaching Xerxes. We all know how good you are with your principles” I retort back.

I turn to walk back but stop and turn to face him “and if you cannot live by my principles, you are free to live. No one stops you to do so” I smirk at him.

“someday you will understand my reason for not walking away. A day will come when everything will be revealed. You will regret it. I hope that time, you will free your dark soul from the hatred within yourself” with that said he walks past me and to the pack house.

“is It me that is stopping you or someone whom you should have never been with in the first place?” I shout with a dark growl. He stops short and turns around.

His eyes were shuttered as were mine. We both were high handed persons. Our anger is always on the tip of our nose. Most of the time, we manage to calm it down as those are not the qualities of the good and Alpha and his beta. Sometimes we could not help ourselves and everything comes out as we try to hurt each other verbally.

How will they move past this when they keep hurting each other?

Will they be able to know the truth behind the deception which was caused by someone who was supposed to be your life?

Only time will tell.

“you go to far with your taunts. No one from the past ever mattered to me except for my brother and best friend and family. Now that I have lost all of them, I hardly care what anyone thinks about me. Now, if you will excuse me, I would like to go and have some rest as old bullies upset my good mood” with that he walks away.

I clenched my hand tightly as I watched him walk away. Does he think, that with his too good to be true words, I will believe him?

He should know better than to think that after all the s**t he put me through. He should have known better than betraying me in the worst way possible. But of course, he could not get hold of his desires and hence he destroyed everything. In doing so, he led me to the path of destruction. There is no one else to blame other than him as he is the sole reason to my misery. His mistakes are something which can be never forgotten or forgiven.

“You are being too hard on him, Alpha” says my warrior Adolf.

I let out a growl and he bow his head in submission.

“not another word Adolf, because right now I am not in the moor to listen anything related to him” I stated as I angrily cross the pathway in the dark woods.

“I shall meet you in the pack house for dinner” I let him know. My words were enough for him to understand that I want to be alone.

I walk further through the pathways as it circles the maze which connects different ways to reach the pack house. As the pack house, comes into view, I am proud to see my achievement. I have made this land and shifted everyone of my pack on the infernal lands of the mystic shadow. After what happened all those years ago, I wanted a change. My life had turned upside down, but with determination to rise back, I fought with all my might. I lived two different lives, one among my world as Alpha and another among the humans. I have hotelier business in the human world. And I am one of the youngest business man to have our hotels in most of the countries.

My dad, was not that strong, but after taking the reins in my hand, I changed everything. With money comes power and with power comes position. It took time. But I did it. Now, as I watch my pack house coming into my view, I breathed deeply. Satisfied to watch my creation reflecting in it.

The pack house is scattered among the vast acres of the infernal mystic lands. It is a high- quality home, surrounded by grooves of trees and dark forest with a nearby beach. I had brought the other properties around this land so that it gives us werewolves the privacy we need to roam around freely.

Designed by the tranquil oasis, it is enclaved as Serra retreat. It sits on the coastline vistas near the beach. Stepping into the grand foyer with soaring ceilings stunning stone details. The interior features three floors on the both sides. One side, the top most floor is for the Alpha and his family and the below floor are given by their rank. Same is for the opposite part of the mansion. The estate, includes a wine cellar, ensuite bedrooms and a home theater. Outside is a fine pool, spa and cabana. Entertain easy into the formal living room, wet bar, playroom, handsome study. Guest bedrooms with gourmet kitchen and commercial grade appliances. Other than that, there is a gaming room and there is a rooftop deck for incredible view of the beach and back forest spread through the maze. Relax on the patio by the multi-level diving pool on the rooftop deck.

Even though the mansion is lighted and the pack is shifted, the Alpha still holds a deep grudge in his heart, which is something he is not able to get rid of, even after shifting to entirely different land even after the dark past is left behind. The pack house cellar is underground and sound proof. The property is high ended with technology where no one can come undetected as it is sensor based.

There will come a time, when the Alpha, due to his lost soul and dark days makes the biggest mistake of his life, will he be able to recover it, only time will tell.
