The Wolf Who Saved Me

Reule and Landon arrived at a pack territory that looked dead. The silence was deafening. And you will not see a single soul from the outside.

A chubby and grumpy guard meets them at the gate. He looked at them with a frown face.

“What do you want?” he said when he opened the gate.

Reule could feel that he was trying to intimidate him, but as an alpha like him, he wasn’t. He showed him an expressionless face and towered over him because he was taller than him.

“I am here to see your alpha,” Reule said with a stern look on his face.

“What business do you have with Alpha Henry?”

“I have a scheduled meeting with him. My name is Alpha Reule Conrad of the Gray Pack.”

His eyes widened in surprise. Reule knew that this grumpy guy knew him significantly enough to surprise him and cause fear.

“Come in! Alpha Henry is expecting you. But who is with you?”

“This is my beta, Landon Adalia.”

Landon let out a friendly smile. He was two inches shorter than Reule but still taller than the guard.

“Come in! Follow me.”

Reule and Landon followed him to the living room of the pack house.

“Please wait here. I will call Alpha Henry for you.”

They sat and waited for Alpha Henry. In five minutes, he came with another man that seemed to be his beta. Reule and Landon stood as a sign of respect.

“I am strangely honored to have the best and most fearful alpha here in my territory. We have met again, Alpha Reule,” Henry said with a sly smile.

“It’s been a long time, Henry. You looked pretty good compared to the first time I saw you,” Reule replied.

“Of course, I was in a competition when we first met and, well, a little thinner.”

Landon, who met Henry for the first time, chuckled. He heard stories about him but did not expect a blonde, muscular alpha to have such humor.

They shook their hands. Henry looked at Landon said, “I bet this is your beta, right? I like that you find my sense of humor entertaining.”

“Yes, this is my beta, Landon.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Alpha Henry,” Landon replied and offered his right hand.

“The pleasure is mine, Landon. By the way, this is my beta Ethan Jones,” Henry replied, and they all shook hands.

They sat, and then Henry said, “So to what do I owe the pleasure of having the alpha and beta of the Gray Pack?”

“I will go straight to the point, Henry. Recently, we discovered two wolves who trespassed in my forest. One of those happened to be from your pack,” Reule replied.

“Hmm.. I am unaware of that. Are you sure about it?”

“Since I have known you, I remembered the scent of your pack. But I gave you the benefit of the doubt because maybe I have mistaken. However, I got a reliable source that you offered help to the White Pack to look for a runaway shewolf. One of the areas that needed to get searched was part of my territory. By that, I confirmed that it was one of your pack members. I don’t know whether spying on my territory is the help you offered to the White Pack or not. But I am sure that I am not happy having my area trespassed.”

“Firstly, I also don’t appreciate you accusing me. Whether or not it was true, I have no idea about it. And yes, the White Pack asked for help, but we have not gone into agreement yet. Basically, I am trying to say that I have not ordered it. But since you brought it out, I will have to check my pack members and have the one responsible executed once I find out it was true.”

“Hmmm.. If I have not come in here and Conri agreed with you, you would have my area trespassed then. Is that right?”

Henry laughed and replied, “Alpha Reule, I got asked to help. I did not say I agreed with it, and I am not that stupid. Why would I let my pack get into trouble? We are poor and outnumbered. We will not win against you.”

“You should tell me the answer to that. Anyway, I really hope that being one of the poor packs doesn’t lead you to be desperately in need of money.”

Henry’s smile disappeared but remained calm when he said, “Oh, don’t worry, Alpha Reule. We get by to what we have. We don’t need to go that length to support ourselves.”

“Well, I have known you as a wise leader. May you always be like that. Thank you for your time!” Reule said. Then, he and Landon shook hands with Henry and Ethan.

When Reule and Landon were out and on the way to the car, Reule said, “Henry is lying. He would definitely proceed with helping Conri.”

“How could you tell?” Landon asked.

“I insulted him and the pack to know whether his wisdom is greater than his desperation to support his pack. But Henry is desperate, and I think they badly needed money.”

Reule drove angry, but he confirmed what he wanted to know. While Henry, on the other hand, was so pissed at how Reule insulted him.

“You motherfucker are just lucky because you are rich! If you are like me, whose pack is dying with hunger, you would definitely do what I would do,” Henry roared as soon as Reule and Landon left.

Ethan got worried that Henry might lose control, but he felt relieved when he heard Henry take a deep breath and say,” Hand me my phone.”

As soon as Henry’s phone was with him, he immediately called Casper.

“Casper, how are you?.. I’m good. Listen, you have to act now. Reule came to give a warning and check your pack for any traitors there spreading rumors about our agreement,” Henry said.

“What!? Who the hell would do that not unless you told him,” Casper replied.

“Fuck! That bastard insulted me. Why would you think I would do that? He just came here to fish some information. Now, tell your slow alpha if he wanted our help; he better pay us as soon as possible before Reule confirmed that the rumors are true.”

Henry hung up and yelled again, “Motherfucker! He destroyed my plan. Who the hell told him? Ethan, as early as now, you have to select someone good at sneaking into places. Someone good at hiding, smart and ready to die.”

“Actually, Alpha, I already have one.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Who?”

“Trent, Caleb’s older brother.”

“But he was the one who went there last time when he tried it out.”

“That’s why he is perfect for the job. He knows where to go and what they do. He just needs to be very careful this time.”

“Hmm.. maybe you are right. Train that warrior harder these days. As much as possible, I wanted him to come back alive.”

“Will do, Alpha.”
