Chapter Four

Alpha Ken

“ Humans are pathetic... ”

I hated the fact that I was listening to them. Killing humans is not the appropriate thing to do now.

I know when I render mercy, I know when I hunt. I know when I have to kill, and I know when to take revenge. But right now, it's just not the time for me to do anything.

I remember two years ago, the little girl in the woods with her puppy.

I almost killed her. I had the chance to, but that lousy annoying puppy of hers spoiled my plans.

If I had to see that animal again, I swear, I wouldn't hesitate to slice it into halves.

Now where is she? She might be older now, if she didn’t die. Will she be able to remember that day?

I bet not…It’s been years, and humans do forget easily.

If I had to kill every single soul in the Midnight Clan, she'd probably be one of them.

" What are you thinking, Ken? " Tiana, my cousin asked.

I frowned. Why would she have to interrupt? I hated it whenever I got distracted from my business.

She's definitely good at reading minds, and I won't have to think twice to take whatever action it is if she eventually read my thoughts.

" Still thinking again? " She asked.

" It's none of your business, Tiana. "

" Well, I wasn't interested in knowing what you were thinking about, I only wanted to check if you were okay because you suddenly left. "

" I don't intend to hurt any of them, they're not my problem now, I've got things to settle first. " I said, letting her know that I was actually listening.

" Well, it's all up to you. Whatever decision you make, we'll just have to follow it. " She yawned. " I'm fucking tired, I need to get some rest. "

" You should get some sleep, " I told her.

" Yeah, that's actually where I'm going to right now. You should get some rest too. Good night, little brother. " She left with the others.

I hated hearing the word ' Humans '. I so much hate it when they're being talked about.

I develop this feeling of anger and hatred. The urge to kill and to destroy. To watch them cry and beg for mercy.

I'm not as aggressive or hateful as the way you think, it's just an inbuilt nature in me.

That feeling of irritation and insecurity whenever I find myself around them, is something I don't wish to fight out in myself.

They are disobedient, and they hardly listen to simple instructions. Just because we're calm to them doesn't mean that's what we are.

Just because we haven't abided the consequences that follow from an act of disobedience doesn't mean we do not give justice.

I'm only trying to be so nice to people who aren't worth it, who are no better than a dead corpse.

I was feeling so tired, I could feel my eyes heavy and dizzy. I know I need some rest because I've got a lot to do tomorrow, and that's starting from Midnight Clan.

" Prepare the horses, we leave for Midnight Clan. "

Tiana had just woken up from sleep. Her scattered hair made her more beautiful than she was.

And the way she stood, staring at me wasn't a good one. " Where are you going at this hour of the morning? " She asked.

" Midnight Clan, " I answered.

" Midnight Clan? " She repeated. " Isn't it too early? It's 6 o'clock, they might still be asleep by now. "

" I don't care, Tiana, I've got some business to finish. "

" Which is? "

" You'll find out at the right time. "

" What happened to you now? "

" Now is not the right time, Tiana. " I hopped onto the horse's back, striking it by the side and we were off for Midnight Clan.

Just as Tiana suggested, the entire village was quiet. I ordered one of my men to blow the horn, which he did.

One by one, they left their homes for the field, looking frightened. I always love it when they look scared. It gives me pleasure to see the fear in their eyes.

They were all quiet as the day. I smirked.

" My Lord, show us mercy because we have offended you again. Please, pardon our families for this last time. Please. " An old man pleaded.

First, I wasn't here to kill, and second, I hated their pleas, which annoyed me a lot.

" I'm not here to kill, I'm only here for one person. " As I said that, I could hear the beat of their heart hit hard against their chest. " I won't hurt anyone but, if you fail to provide me with whom I search for, I'll have no other choice but to have you all dead. "

There was a brief silence, I asked. " I'm looking for a girl with blond hair, " they began staring at every lady who had blonde hair. "She had a little dog. Does anyone know who or where she is? "

They were all quiet, only their eyes made a movement. " I'm gonna ask for the last time, where is the blonde-haired girl? "

" We don't know, Sir. There are many girls with blonde hair, we might end up handing you the wrong person. " Said a lady.

I looked around for the last time, " You've got tonight to find the girl or else, every single one of you will have to pay. "

Fear filled the entire villagers, continuous questions were asked and no one seemed to know an answer to it.

Who is this blonde girl?

Where is she?

Who might she be?

Is she here with us?

But there's one person it could be?

Someone not even her parents are aware of.

" Do you think they might know who she is? " Greg asked. " I don't trust those humans, I do not trust what they say.

I smirked halfway. " Pathetic humans. "
