Chapter Eight: No Kind of Love

*German slang in this chapter, refer to the bottom for the meaning*

Silas P.O.V.

"Silas, I haven't received the paper work that you promised me over a month ago. It is so unlike you to not to be prompt, is everything going well now with the new Beta?" Quinn asks and I let out a grunt, " ja, well, I thought they were but I will probably have a ton of phone calls today just like this one now! I thought I gave him just a few simple tasks to handle but I guess he is still acting like a pup, I'm sorry about this Quinn." I hear a light tap through the phone on what seemed like Quinn's office door. "I'm going to have to call you back Silas, make sure that you send me the last of the paperwork," he quickly said before hanging up on me, leaving a bad taste in my mouth....   

"FELIX," I let out a roar and he was in front of me in a matter of seconds. "Mion Alpha," Felix replied sounding slightly strained. "I just got off the phone with Alpha Quinn and apparently you forgot to send out those documents confirming our seed trade deal, bescheuert! This was extremely important for a stronger relationship with the U.S. Western trade. You better make sure you handled those other tasks I asked of you as well." I slowly massage the bridge of my nose, "Felix, as my Beta I really need you to stay on top of things such as this, I know you are new to this gig, but you have some pretty big shoes to fill after my previous Beta..." I trailed off a feeling the emotion of sadness wash over me, an emotion I tried hard to avoid.

*Sigh*

About three years ago a group of Hunter extremists who called themselves, 'The Salvation', planned a slaughtering spree starting from the Russian border. They ended up murdering their way through Belarus and Poland just to follow a shoddy lead on a vampire they had lost track of a little over three hundred years ago. Unfortunately they came straight through Germany hitting our hidden pack where my brother, Beta Gavin and my sister-in-law Anna, lost there lives trying to protect the pack while I was in Italy for my friend Sofi's birthday. After some investigating, and the damn near extinction of their measly little clan of der mistkerls, I found that the person they held such hatred towards was a vampire named Caiden Gray. 

Of course I was obsessed after that, I had my best friend Sofi who was also a vampire tell me more about who he was and why these people had it out for him so badly. Turns out Caiden was an one of the eight last remaining vampires close to a thousand years old, but that wasn't the reason why they wanted him dead. No; apparently he had killed the leaders daughter and grandchild during the Great Vampyric world war, one which the werewolves were also drug into, causing massive numbers of deaths on both sides. After that the leader surrendered and Caiden and his gang of ancient vampires massacred what they thought to be the last of The Salvation, a thing I gladly rectified, but a price my blood had paid for because of his careless brutality.

The worst part about it all was he was perfectly safe and snug in one of the biggest werewolf packs in the world, China, a pack that was in the complete opposite direction the hunter clan went... landing them in my lap... 

And now, I was completely left alone; my mother had died giving birth to Gavin and my father took his life shortly after I replaced him as Alpha of Germany, my father had no siblings as well as my mother. I practically raised Gavin on my own, I was six years older than him... That's right, my brother died at age eighteen, he would have been twenty one this year. Sofi was the only close friend I had, we met in college a few years before I become Alpha, but she had her own life in Italy and I have been pretty distant since the loss of Gavin.

"Alpha," Felix spoke, looking concerned, breaking me out of my trance, "I assure you that a mistake like this wont slip through my fingers again, and I will get the paper faxed immediately." He paused before continuing, "when I swore in to be your Beta I realized what I was up against. I wont allow myself to fail you again." Felix knelt down on one knee and bowed his head before running right back out of my office to complete his promised task. 'and I want an update ASAP Felix,'  I mind linked him. 'Ja Alpha.'

"Silas, geht es dir gut?" My business partner Niklas asked, "Ja; Nik, Why don't you go grab one of those lovely ladies at the bar to go home with and leave me be for the rest of the night hmm?" I snapped at him feeling slightly violated that he wanted me to be emotional with him. If I wanted to braid hair and talk about feelings I would have called Sofi instead of coming to my private club to get wasted. "Okay, entschuldigung für die frage," he held his hands up in defense. 

Niklas gave me one last glance before shaking his head and sauntering away, finally leaving me alone again. That is just the way things were ever since my brother passed. I preferred to spend my days locked behind my office door handling all pack affairs in the comfort of my fortress. After the attack I knew that I would never let something like that happen again so I built the pack house into a medieval castle. Extreme? Yes, but at least we all felt a little safer. 

When I did go out, I only went to my own clubs so people would know to keep their distance away from me. I had the occasional cute girl give me a lap dance here and then but nothing that really excited my wolf. Sofi had offered to be my fuck buddy with no strings attached but I respected her and myself a little bit more than that. I was definitely pint up, but I wasn't going to throw myself at any whore either, I was a little... different with my women.

"Wie geht es dir Alpha?" I was interrupted out of my thoughts for the second time today when one of the pack females had the courage to speak with me. I was a little mad but I took the time to look at her features as she bowed her head and gave a soft curtsy. She had shiny wavy blonde hair with blue eyes that matched my own, she also had a small petite frame that held full plump breasts. All in all she was quite a beautiful girl. "I don't mean to bother you Alpha, I just was wondering if you would be interested in having a drink with me?"

I gave her an emotionless look and took a moment to consider her offer. As long as she knew nothing serious was going to come from this, than I wouldn't mind having a little fun with her. "Sure perle..." She smiled brightly at the nickname I gave her, "why don't you come sit next to me over here and tell me a little bit about yourself huh?" What? I wasn't a complete asshole. "R-really?" She asks making her way towards me now even more shy. "Yes, I don't normally ask for people to join me, so I am very serious." Her knee gently grazes my pant leg and neither of us miss the contact.

"Uhm, my name is Nora and I just got my bachelors of science from the local college this past summer. I majored in bio engineering but I still have a ways to go before I reach my end goal." I gave her a quirk of my eyebrow, "I am impressed, but I have to ask because I am thirty three, how old are you?" she fiddled with her fingers showing me that she was nervous to answer the question. "I-I, uhm, I turn twenty two in a month." I let out a hum, " as long as you are of age that is all that matters to me, I like them a little younger anyways. I just don't understand why you are wasting your 'youth' on someone as crass as I, what about your mate perle." 

She gave me a shy smile, that seemed to hold slight pain underneath. "We don't think you are crass Alpha, just lonely is all... and as far as my mate goes, he is a human that already had a human wife and child. I didn't have it in me to take that from him." I cross my leg moving it away from touching her any longer and she looked disappointed. 

"Well loneliness isn't a damnable thing, it's is quite the opposite, call me selfish or mean but I keep my distance because I know in the end attachment means loss and loss is pain. I guess you know a little bit about how that feels though..." I take a deep breath before speaking again, "so, if you are going to 'stick' around for a little, you will learn well that this isn't serious, and that there will be NO attachments." She looks at me with the same sad eyes everyone else does, but takes second before replying, "if that is what you want Alpha, I will be yours." I smirk pulling her closer by grabbing her neck firmly but not hard enough to cut off her air. "Good little girl. Now follow my orders and I assure you, you will be rewarded."   

Author's Notes:

I had this chapter in draft for so long and I was finally able to finish it today! So sorry for the wait, I really wanted to take my time and do some language research to make it seem somewhat authentic. I also really wanted to take time writing Silas because he is the second protagonist and that makes him incredibly important! Thank you so much for all my new readers and old! I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing it!

The hunters are a secret assassin trained society of humans that have been around since the confirmation of supernatural being existence. They have remained hidden from the outside world and have fewer in numbers after the vampires first great war. They survive by having small clans spread throughout the world.
