Chapter 4

LUCINA'S POV

A week later.....

I held a tray containing five glasses of red expensive wine as I walked towards the group of five old men talking to each other and laughing loudly. The hall was filled with werewolves all looking elegant and luxurious as they chats with their long time partner and some staying idle, just watching the ballet dancers perform on stage.

I adjusted my glasses as I headed towards them, acting natural and not making a mistake of giving out my identity. Just like every other waiters at the festival, I was dressed in a white shirt with a black tie, black skirt and a black shoe. Perfect and blending well like the ordinary wolves.

I approached them and handed them the drinks like they requested, and one of them staring at me lustfully wasn't unnoticed. He diluted his eyes, licking his lips slowly as his eyes were on my bosoms, smiling mischievously. Crazy old men. I bowed and turned to go, but was called back by one of them. I rolled my eyes and turned to face the one who called me, and my eyes met with the old man looking at me with lustfully. Not just him this time, the others were staring at my body smiling to themselves, irking me more. I wish I could just punch theirs eyes out of their sockets, but causing a commotion in the festival will only cost my head.

"What about a night with us? We will give you a huge fortune and all you have to do is satisfy us." One of them said smiling at me, revealing his set of brown teeth.

I bowed and shook my head, "Sorry my lords, but I can't do that this night."

"Are you denying the request of the Elders? We will give you a large sum, just go to bed with us. We are the Elders, and you should know that. We have money." another one said with much blustery. I looked at him and looked down again, as I tried to remember their faces. They are the Elders. But why can't I remember their scent? I can't remember their faces too. I sniffed silently, different scents but I can't pinpoint which of them belong to the Elders who killed my park.

A hand raised my chin up, making an eye contact with me. The old, chubby brown teeth man smiled at me, moving his thumb across my lips. I tightened my fist, trying so hard not to punch him hard on his face and cause a commotion which will end up with my head been cut off. The old man kept grinning at me coming closer, trying to kiss me. I closed my eyes tight trying to calm myself from busting out. Oh heavens help me or I snap his old face out of his neck. His breath blew on my face, and I perceived the smell of alcohol. Shit I am going to rip his heart out of his chest. Just when he was about to kiss me, a hand pushed him away.

"Not now, Elders. She has an assignment now." he said and pulled me away from their midst.

"where are we going to?" I asked the strange man as he dragged me along with him. I have a different mission, not to follow this man about. I forcedly removed my hand from his, making him to stop and turned to face me abruptly.

"I am grateful you helped me from those old men, but you can't just take me to wherever you wish to."

He leaned closer, "Don't you know who you are dealing with? You should follow me and not another word" he said with a threatening look.

Other days, I would have punched him hard and fought him until he is left lifeless, but not this night as I was on an important mission and I can't fail Celine, the pack, and my exterminated pack.

I sighed and went with him. He took me upstairs and we followed a hallway with no wolf in sight. Wherever this man was taking me to, I am ready to deal with anyone who comes to play with me.

He stopped in front of a door and faced me. "You go in there and serve our guest. He is in heat and he is our valued guest. Any mistake and I will rip your body open. You must know who I am and I am feared by the wolves so make no mistake." he said and opened the door, pushing me in. Such an asshole.

I walked in looking at the man who pushed me, wanting to curse him, but slipped and fell on someone. My hands on his chest and our face so close.

He was sweating so much, and was panting hard. I felt something hard touching my thigh. I made no move as I was glued to my spot, staring at the pair of blue eyes staring back at me, menacingly. He suddenly pushed me to the floor and I fell hard on my butt. I turn abruptly looking at the man who pushed me to the floor. He stood up and I realized what was actually touching my thigh when I fell on him. His bulge was visible through his trouser. I forgot what I planned on doing to him that moment and bent my head, embarrassed I fell on his hard groin. I have never been in my heat, but the man was having a difficult time. As he was sweating much and breathing hard.

"Leave." he thundered staring hard at the both of us.

"Edmund this....."

"I said leave....." he said, this time with a threatening voice that could send any weak being to their feet in seconds. He groaned and bent down with his hand on his thigh.

I shook my head and turned, heading towards the door without taking a glance at the two men. I can't keep wasting my time with two men who doesn't deserve it when I have other important things to do.

"Wait." I heared him call and I could sense he said it through gritted teeth.

I turned and faced him raising a corner of my lips. Is this the Powerful Edmund Zach told me about? If this is the most powerful Alpha then I am disappointed.

He stared at me lustfully breathing heavily while clenching the pillow he held tightly.

"Edmund, the most powerful Alpha." the other man who had brought me in said, laughing. "You are such a hypocrite. The almighty Alpha, who everyone sees as the undefeatable, is actually someone who can't control the member between his leg."

Edmund smirked looking at him, "Aaron, In terms of hypocrisy, who is better than the Elders who killed the moon goddess descendant family?"

Hearing that made me look at Aaron shocked at the revelation. He is one of the Elders who killed my park members? Just the person I have been looking for. I've found one of the bloodthirsty Elders who killed my parent.

Aaron said nothing and only stared at Edmund with malicious eyes and his vein throbbing in his neck. He had the urge to kill as I could see him struggling not to move. He sneered at Edmund and left, slamming the door behind him. I can't let him go, he is one of the Elders who exterminated my pack. I have to go after him.

....

EDMUND'S POV

I never expected to be on heat on the festival day, today. Today is the day the successor is chosen and here I am in my heat. I had taken a drink from Aaron when I walked into the hall and then, minutes later, this damned heat started. As a powerful Alpha, I have stronger sexual desires more than any other ordinary wolf. The more powerful an Alpha is, the stronger his desire and not any female wolf can handle me. The average she wolves aren't strong enough to handle me. But the girl who walked into the room with Aaron and had fallen on me, had something different. She is an ordinary she-wolf, but she gives a scent I haven't perceived before. A strong delicious scent, unlike the other werewolves I have been with.

I walked to her at the door and pinned her on the wall, not giving her a chance of escaping. Her scents.... I closed my eyes and sniffed in her scent trying to relieve my desire, but instead, it aroused me more, my groin swelling more in my trouser. I looked at her and then my eyes lowered to her alluring lips. I moved my thumb across her lips wanting to kiss them so hard. Who the hell is this girl?

I moved away from and went back to seat on the bed in the room, not taking my eyes off her.

"Satisfy me and if you can do that well, I will pay you a huge sum of money." I said lifting a former of my lips with dilated eyes.

She stood at her spot for a while and I couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking to. Does she want to decline my offer? If she does, I don't know what I might do next.

"Can you handle me?" she asked. I drew my brows at her surprised at her suddenly question, but that soon left my mind as I watched the alluring wolf walk towards me, biting her lower lips seductively.
