C9 9

Alpha Jasper was in his room, head bowed and his palms on his face, looking so worried.

The distant voices from outside were getting at his head as he badly needed some quietness, needed some silence. He couldn't ba at peace.

The witches - they might be there at any moment and no doubt, would be so upset since he didn't have what they wanted yet. He'd made a deal with the witches and in exchange, he was to hand them the Hunter's daughter; but there he was, repeatedly failing at it. He really needed to do something before he gets a bad consequence from the witches.

Shortly, he heard some footsteps - gentle and depicted her personality.

The figure walked up from behind, stood behind him and placed her both hands on his shoulders.

"What troubles my great one?" The serene voice asked softly, it was so soft, it always had a way of piercing into Jasper's soul.

No doubt, that was Kylie - his mate.

Slowly and gently, her delicate hands started moving on his shoulders, massaging them.

"You know you become so ugly when you're angry" she teased and Jasper ended up chuckling.

"How're you doing, Kylie?" He asked calmly.

"Not really fine. My sister's still unwell". She replied.

"Nessa?" Jasper turned slightly to look at her, and she nodded.

Then, he sighed and turned back to his former position.

"Why does it bother you? She'll be fine". He stated gruffly.

'i know she'll be fine; but so far, she still hasn't regained consciousnes. I'm... I'm so scared for her. Oh, Alpha; I wish you could grant me permission to go see her; just this...."

"You should know that's not possible, Kylie!" Jasper cut her off, in an almost angry tone.

"I understand she's your sister, but she's also a member of our enemy's pack. Do you even think Zane would welcome you to his pack? Because you're coming to see your sister?"

Kylie's hands stopped moving on his shoulders immediately as all she could feel was sadness.

Nessa, who was Zane's mate, was actually her sister. Two years ago, she had tried convincing her to join Jasper's pack; but she wouldn't listen and insisted on joining Zane's pack instead. And now, she had become their enemy.

Alpha Jasper knew she had become angry as she stopped massaging his shoulders, but he didn't care anyways.

"But...." She was about saying something when the door suddenly burst open with his beta barging in.

Huh?

Kylie was startled; No one would dare barging into Jasper's room like that, unless there was trouble.

"Alpha...."

"What is it, Ethan?" Jasper asked with furrowed brows.

Kylie's hands had fallen off his shoulders already.

"Its an attack....One of our pack houses was attacked and every one of them killed...!" The beta said in deep breaths and watched Jasper's eyes glint with anger and disbelief.

"What're you talking about??" He roared as he sprang on his feet.

"What do you mean it was attacked?? Who attacked it???"

"We have no idea, Alpha. Whoever must've done left no traces. But, we lost 9 members in total". Ethan replied.

"No!!!" Jasper roared, it made Kylie shudder a little.

"No! No!!"

Kylie was confused. Who could've attacked the pack house?

"Zane!!" Jasper suddenly growled his name.

"How dare he?! How dare he?!"

Alpha Zane? Kylie thought.

Was he behind this?

Kaylan sat quietly in the room, her head bowed and her hair flopping over her eyes.

She sat with her hands and legs huddled up, sitting like some wet tortoise.

She was cold, and hungry. Needed to be away; far from there.

Shortly, the door opened an unfamiliar face walking in.

"Time for a break, Hunter's daucht" the grumpy boy said.

Kaylan couldn't understand what was going on until he walked upto her, and surprisingly, un-tied her.

"Come on" he grabbed her roughly by the arm, pulled her from leaving floor and started walking out of the room with her.

His grip on her was so tight, she was damn sure a mark would appear in a few minutes time.

"Where are you taking me?" She managed to ask, weakly.

"Who else? To your owner, of course" he chuckled and continued walking with her.

Hold on; he was taking her to Alpha Zane? Oh, no..
