Chapter 6
Bounce's POV
He was talking really fast so as not to get me angry.
".... Some sort of Alpha got to know that we just discovered a vast land filled with diamonds so they paid us a visit to tell us that they want part of the diamonds. As a peaceful pack, our Alpha didn't object because we believe that the moon goddess gifted us so that we can share with the world. We dig the diamonds and share with them in 30/70 for months. But where the problem lies is when those Alphas do not only want the largest share of our precious stones but they want our land. This our Alpha wouldn't agree. He told them that he won't vacate the land so war broke out. But Alpha, these Alphas won't fight fair. They fight with wolfsbane that had this disastrous communicable disease in them. This disease kills our wolves in minutes and makes the bearer die in days. This disease killed us in hundreds starting from our Alpha's family with our Alpha inclusive. We tried to negotiate with them but they wouldn't . They want us to leave so that they could take over" the Beta finished his narration.
The story to a normal person was so touching and pitiful but to me as the abnormal person, I was so annoying. I felt like it's all the fault of their Alpha to let those greedy Alphas into his home in the first place in the name of peace. He didn't need to tell me who those greedy Alphas were because I know them. They've been like this for years and I've been finding a way to deal with them but I'm taking my time so I would make their death worthwhile.
"I hate weak people," I growled.
But I do love precious stones. In fact I sleep on them. Looking at the way I gather them, it was obvious that I love them. Not that I didn't know about the Pine pack's blessed vast land of precious stones but I might be a brute but I'm not greedy. I buy my stones with my money. I might be very wealthy, I'm still seconding the pine pack and I don't covet them. I also didn't want to think that they intentionally came to me to entice me with their stones since they might have heard that I love those stones.
"What do you want from me?" I asked.
No one knew exactly where I originated from. They just make up stories that suit them and I don't care. They named me after demons but I also don't care.
"We want you to save us, Alpha. Save our people from being killed unjustly with diseases" he replied.
I gave him a glare. " Why? Do you think I have healing for this disease? Do I look like a physician to you?" I asked harshly.
The beta became dejected. He didn't even know what to say. Looking at his face I knew he cared for his people. I love that. That was one thing I love about my papa. I sure know a way to save them. Lycans are the strongest and they don't get affected by the wolf's bane and with what he said, the disease was mixed in the wolf's bane. It simply connotes that the disease can't live without the wolf's bane. Making them a lycan is the solution to their problem and I'm not willing to risk that.
"What would be my gain if I decide to save you?" I asked.
The beta's face lit up with excitement.
"We are ready to give all our lands to you, Alpha," he replied.
Wow! That was more than I thought he would say. I thought he was going to offer me huge precious stones but an entire vast land was a sumptuous offer. No Alpha would hear that and wouldn't want to click the bargain almost immediately and start to prepare for war. But even at that offer, I have huge principles. One is that I don't want unknown people in my pack. I want to be all mighty alone and not add someone's pack with mine. Two I want to bear my name alone. I gave the guy a nonchalant look.
"Well that offer sounds so mouth watering but I'm not interested. I don't want your lands or people" I rejected.
The beta seems to be shocked at my rejection. It is only a fool that would reject such an offer but I Bounce decided to be a fool.
