C2 Chapter Two

CHAPTER TWO

I winked at the Waitress, as she wrote her mobile number on the side of my cardboard coffee cup.

She was a little short in height and small in bust, but has a pretty good looking ass.. her dress was black and tight against her curves and her hair was long but tied up in a lazy, loose ponytail.

She seemed pretty enough, for a human at least.

Her fingertips lingered slightly on my hand, as I handed her my bank card.

I smirked knowingly, this human has absolutely no idea what or who she is playing with.. but that is okay. I enjoy the attention and meaningless sex with strangers.. but I would definitely make her wait a little while.

I pushed my wallet back into my suit trousers and straightened out my white shirt slightly; I also ran my fingertips into my hair with my free hand and winked at the human once more, before I turned to leave.

I decided to look the part today, as it is the day that I would meet the newest member of My Pack, Scarlett. So, I wore my suit trousers with a smart suit shirt.. my clothes clung tightly against my well-toned muscles.

I smiled fondly at the woman outside the Coffee Shop.. so this woman was Scarlett.. interesting.

She looks very.. unusual and uniquely pretty; her wild jet-black curly hair cascaded messily past her large breasts and she seems to be very pale.. what entices me most is the freckles that stuck out of her pale complexion.

I cocked my head to the side, smirking slightly.

When did I like freckles on a woman?

Her pupils also attracted me to her.. their reddish-brown hue only made her features more appealing. And they likely turned red in situations that resulted in her losing control.. fuck.. now I was imagining her losing control?

I shook my head and smiled menacingly; I always have a plan on how to bed a woman.. and now is simply no different.

I immediately pretended not to notice her lost and excited bewilderment with the town. She went to run into the Coffee Shop, as I walked briskly out of the door.

Only her scent surprised me, it was intoxicatingly sweet and fruitful.. and so we both ended up wearing my drink.. my scolding hot coffee.

Scarlett’s eyes went wide, as she hissed out in pain at the obvious burning sensation to her now injured scalp; I winced slightly, as it seeped into my shirt.

I shook my head and let my arrogance show on my face; Shapeshifters like that.

‘Most women apologise for shoving into strangers around here, woman’. I growled, acting pissed off, spitting out the words with a cold gaze.

She finally met my gaze and her eyes went wide but she seemed a little too surprised to speak to me; I scoffed as she checked me out, timidly, from head to toe.

That is right.. that is how it is done; I grinned slightly.

‘Asshole’. She narrowed her eyes at me and abruptly turned to run away from me.

I could not help but feel amused at her and I definitely like her spirit.

I laughed loudly at her reaction.

I could not help myself, I instantly chased after her; she is such a pretty and unique little thing..

Her eyes went wide and it was obvious that she had just put two and two together, realising that I am in fact her new Alpha.

I let out a deep calculating laugh, at her dumbfounded expression.

‘Alexander Bayou, at your unfortunate service’. I grinned mockingly, as I bowed at her.

She groaned into her hands in response, instantly began avoided my piercing gaze and began staring at the ground.

I found her expression to be completely and utterly priceless, as her face turned a bright shade of red in response to both her obvious embarrassment and anger.

‘Scarlett’. She mumbled, still avoiding my gaze.

Fuck, even her voice was unique and.. oddly adorable.

I definitely want her.. really, really badly.

I gripped a hold of her chin with my fingertips and tilted her face up in the direction of my face, so that she would meet my gaze.

She immediately began to blush a deeper shade of red as she timidly met my heated gaze; she stomped down on my right foot HARD.. I winced slightly at the crack that soon echoed, signifying loads of little, tiny breakages to the bones of my foot.

I could no longer hold back my anger as I swore and snapped at her.

‘SHIT, THAT HURT!’.

I then grabbed her by the arm with my sharp nails and pinned her up against the wall of a nearby Alleyway.

The scowl on her face almost made me laugh at her, again.

‘Get off of me you creep’. She scowled, again.

I could not help but raise my eyebrows in shock and amusement at her words.

I let out a light laugh in response to her words.

This woman was very different to what I am used to.. and it feels strange that she does not desire me on a deeper level.. most females would have begged me to take them by now..

‘So The Hybrid is a little spitfire after all? My apologies of course, I have not had any new females in my Territory for a while’. I grinned.

She glared at me, as I had her shoulders still firmly pinned against the wall.

‘I am certainly not a female to be played around with, Mr Bayou’. She scolded me.

Why was I oddly turned on by her hateful glare?

Her eyes suddenly went wide and she let out a little gasp of fear.

‘Oh relax Scarlett, I will not hurt you. Having a Hybrid sounds handy especially one of your.. expertise’. I snickered, teasingly.

The fear in her eyes only made me want to tease her further..

All of a sudden Leonard Storm’s disgusting sea-aired scent hit my nostrils and I froze unmoving, unsure of what exactly to do or how to act.

The little shit had caught me off guard after all..

I turned my head to the side, scowling slightly; I wrinkled my nose in both annoyance and disgust at his next words.

‘Clearly the woman is afraid of you, so get your grubby hands off of her, now!’. Leonard’s confident and oddly, friendly voice spoke cheerfully from behind me, as he regarded Scarlett.

I instinctively dug my nails sharply into Scarlett’s skin as I threw her to the ground, like a used toy.

She cried out in pain and then I briefly glared at him, taking in his features further.

Leonard’s choppy side swept haircut moved slightly from the wind. It is also shaved off to one side.

Just seeing him enter my line of sight, angered me even more.

His forest green eyes met mine angrily as he stared over at Scarlett, protectively.

She is my member and a Werewolf.. well at least in part.. that slender little shit was to be her knight in shining armour then? Why the hell was he even protecting her, from me?

I shook my head, as I ran out of the Alleyway.

Now was not the time for a fight.. besides, he would soon hear about his little sister having been attacked.

I grinned, as I kept running towards My Territory.

Once I made it safely back to My Territory and next to the small waterfall that incorporated nicely into my forest and its little lake, I sank down onto my knees and gasped as I instinctively began to shift into my wolf.. it is such a sweet and intoxicating feeling of heat that surrounds my body and all of my senses.

The low, light pain made me groan slightly, as my bones began to crack, break and quickly reform.

Before long, I stood on all fours staring down at my large fluffy paws. I stood proudly with my tongue rolling to the side out of my mouth slightly.

My wolf has thick white fluffy fur and I have many scars from past fighting that covers my body.

I closed my eyes as I took in the sweet scent of the fresh water from the waterfall and soon opened them, grinning a big toothy grin at the scent of my trees, surrounding my forest.

It was not long before I leapt into the water and slowly paddled over to the deepest part of the lake and dove beneath the water’s surface.

When I resurfaced, a temporary member of mine was waiting patiently for me; Drew’s scent flooded into my nostrils.

Drew has spent the last six months trying his best to teach me everything he knows about my would-be duties to ‘The Council of Werewolves’. Much to his dismay, I do not really give a shit about any of that.

Becoming the Leader of the Council eventually only filled me with dread.. my parents pester me enough already, it would only get worse once I have more power.

I glared at the sleazy conniving little shit and he immediately began frowning and staring down at the grass uncomfortably.

Drew’s dark brown spiked-up hair and his honey-licked skin glistened with sweat; his brown eyes avoided my sharp disapproving blue pupils, glaring at him.

‘Alexander, I uhm.. I have discovered some bad news regarding your younger brother, Dante’. He muttered quietly.

My body felt red-hot as anger boiled throughout my entire being; what if my brother’s secret had been found out?

Dante recently discovered his attraction for the same sex.. and of course in my parent’s generation, it was highly forbidden, especially for Noble Bloodlines.

Our bloodline is much, much worse than just a Noble Bloodline. Being the bloodline that had risen up and created what is now The Council of Werewolves. There is simply no way anybody would agree with my brother being gay.

Dante told me this secret in complete and strict confidence and I promised him that I would not only keep his secret, but I would protect him if it came out.

Even if he came out, of his own freewill.

Maybe I would have to kill this fucking sleazeball.. and I would definitely take pleasure in doing so.

I blinked and nodded at Drew as I floated slightly on the surface of the water, daring him to continue.

‘He uhm.. he has been selling blood to Vampires for profit’. He whispered, uncomfortably.

I stared at him in shock.

Dante has been doing.. WHAT!?!?

I leapt out of the water and immediately shifted back into my human form.

He frowned and awkwardly passed me some shorts, to which I stepped into and let out an unhappy sigh.

‘Do you know how long Dante has been doing this for?’. I grumbled.

‘About a year’. He frowned.

‘Right okay, tell my father that I will handle the matter’. I growled.

‘Of course, Alexander’. He bowed his head in submission and respect.

‘Call me Alex, Drew. After all you are one of My Pack, at least for the time being’. I smiled slightly.

‘I would be honoured.. Alex’. He beamed, happily.

And with that he left, leaving me to think about how the fuck my little brother could ever have been so stupid.

Having been best-friends with a Werecat was one thing, but now he got himself involved in Vampire politics?

That was very fucking stupid.

How would I even breach this topic?
