Chapter 5
Bounce's POV
"Where is the person?" I asked, heading to my seat.
My seat, it consumed a lot of fortune to make that beautiful work of art. It was made with precious stones. I love the light it gives at night. Many of the wild packs that see the way I built my pack house covet it but they have learnt from many experiences not to try to take what is mine.
The vast land that I have now was taken from many packs to build mine. I was a brute but I didn't take anything forcefully. I didn't kill anyone who surrendered to me. All I did then was to move them to another region entirely because I want to make sure I conquer a lot of lands so I have to be able to get my revenge. Those who their leaders refuse to move, I'll claim with power. This is not a word for today. I'll definitely give the details later.
My cupbearer came to me with a fresh juice. That's how I have it every morning before my breakfast. It was then my visitor walked in. I looked at him well but I didn't know who the person was but I didn't fail to notice he is a beta blood.
I don't have a beta. Being that I gathered all my warriors from rogues, people that have been abandoned or given up on life. I took them and gathered their lives together. None of them are ranked wolf but I don't mind. I made sure they are almost as strong as an alpha of a normal wolf with training. During the course of the years, I have over six generations who are now warriors. My warriors and their pups. I mostly have males in my pack because during my gathering I told the moon goddess that what I needed most were male and she answered my prayers. I do have female warriors but they are not as much as the male. Even giving an estimate of the male and female, I'll say 60/40. This didn't bother me because I mostly send my males out to go find their mates which isn't fruitless. The truth be, I don't have a mate and I don't think I'll have one till I die.
"Alpha" the stranger called.
I looked at him with a straight face. They all know me as a brute and I more than like it. I love it. I've never smiled since the departure of my parents and the destruction of my pack. I know my look was intimidating the beta and that was what I wanted.
"What pack's beta, are you?"
He looked at me briefly. I don't know if the look was for shock or another thing but to me it's so easy to figure out a beta. They speak power.
"Pine pack Alpha" he replied.
I do know the pine pack. Their Alpha is a close friend to my papa but I do not like him because he is as weak as my papa who wouldn't want to make trouble with others. I didn't even run to him when things happened because I wanted to be strong, not weak like my papa.
"So?" I asked arrogantly.
I know their beta won't be here aside from them needing help from me which I don't think I'm ready to do. No one would try to come to my pack without having a very important and sensible thing to say. If not they are joking with their lives. I don't like to entangle myself with any pack and they know me for that.
"Alpha, we have a problem......"
"If it's about me helping you to fight bigger packs, I'm not interested. Tell your alpha that he should fix it himself. I hate weak people" I said bluntly.
" No alpha. That's not the story. It's not the way you thought it to be at all. I plead you hear me out Alpha" he pleaded.
My anger started to build. I was super hungry and this guy here is hindering me from eating. I feel like ripping his head off but I have principles that I won't hurt anyone that is innocent to me.
"You better make it snappy with whatever you've got to say before I have your head on the platter. I don't have all day" I threatened fiercely.
Even with the pup being a beta, I could sense his fear and nervousness. I wouldn't blame him but I don't like his weakness.
"Alpha, as it is well known that the Pine pack is well endowed with a valley of different precious stones and we've been trading these stones for hundreds of years now but alpha, ......" He swallowed and continued almost immediately.
He was talking really fast so as not to get me angry.
