Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Alpha Emerald Black

"Alpha black, are we going to do nothing and watch a bunch of assholes destroy our allies why do we do nothing in return. “Ethan said in disappointment as he scratched the beard. He those that a lot when he feels irritated about something.

I don't know why he was being so dramatic, he should be happy it wasn't our pack that is been destroyed and harmed.

"They are not our allies, don’t get things twisted, they are just our neighbors, yes they only our neighboring pack that's all. And don't pretend they don't deserve everything happening to them, because trust me they do after all they were the ones who started spreading fake rumors about us. How I'm a half-vampire and a witch. I said back to him lifting my shoulders in a half shrug.

The forest green pack where the genesis of all the rumors about me had their alpha did nothing to stop it from spreading instead the sick bastard supported it so my mate was doing me a favor, and besides the alpha was already old and weak.

"I know but if we don't do anything, I'm sure we will be the next on the line, the next to be destroyed and we all we be left pack less without a leader. “he said insisting with concern written over his face but something told me deep down that wasn't the only reason he was concerned about.

I still don't know what his deal was, why was he so concerned about them, it was like he was hiding something and I hope I find out soon. I don't want my gamma keeping secrets from me.

"No, he won't do anything in return. Alpha Rain wouldn't try to attack the second strongest pack. He won't be so foolish to make such a move that will also affect him in return. I said turning my face back to the pack documents I was signing. The packing work was so much and since finally I'm able to focus on the documents let me finish all my paperwork ahead of next week.

"Why are you so confident about that. “he said tilting his head with narrowed eyes at me, his arms were crossed together.

"Because he is my mate, and he was only doing this to get my attention. I said to him kind of embarrassed, I had difficulty maintaining eye contact and focusing on the documents I was signing like it was the most interesting thing in the world.

" Y.. y.. your mate, he his you mate, wow, I didn't see that coming. "He said, I was tempted to see his reaction and I did unable to resist the urge and looked up to see his face. His hands were covering his mouth, freezing and staring at me with wide eyebrows. His eyes almost popping out of its socket, if his reaction was like this, I secretly wondered how my pack members will feel about me finding my mate and him being the notorious Alpha Rain.

" Yeah I'm sure you didn't, just like I also did not expect him to be my mate but the moon goddess has a sarcastic way of doing things. I said back to him then turned my body to stare at the window looking for anything remotely interesting than the topic about my mate.

I raised my hands to rub my eyes in tiredness since I felt my mate it's nothing but sadness. Yes, a mate is meant to make you happy but my mate has successfully brought me sadness and I'm sure the moon goddess could see the future yet she paired me with him.

"What do you mean, aren't you happy you found your mate." He asked in confusion and I let out a sigh of yearning for my mate's touch. Yes, I feel bipolar, I guess that is what the mate bond does to you, this minute you are in love the next minutes you are in hate.

The moon goddess knew that my mate and I are like the south pole and both poles, water, and fire, sun, and moon yet she paired us together. Is like she doesn't want me to be cured of the curse and wants me to die, so I can suffer the punishment of not being her direct creation.

Now I don't know who to explain to my gamma how difficult the whole situation between my mate and me is. It's not like I didn't trust my gamma but the lesser people know about my time left in the world the better for me. I could keep a letter before I die to explain everything and after I die they will read and know what truly happen. I just hope they forgive me.

"I'm happy, I'm thrilled, I'm joyful, haven't you heard of all the bad things my mate has done and is capable of doing to women. Do you think just because he is my mate I will throw myself to him, and worship the ground he walks on?"

" I going to rescue the forest green park will make him think, I'm soft-hearted and not capable of being an alpha. I want him to think I'm cold-blooded just like he is and how an alpha should be, I'm sure he expects me to play superhero and save the forest green pack asses so he can use it against me, so why would I waste my strength in saving people that don't deserve to be saved."I ramble, my back was still turned against him.

"That's what makes you different and have a golden heart, Emerald. That what makes you deserve to be a leader, let go help them," he said and felt his hands on my shoulder. This was the first time he was calling my name without adding my alpha title and it made me feel like a shitty Alpha.

I sigh and turned around on with chair to face him properly, why was Ethan not understanding me, it’s because you haven't told him anything. The main reason was I don't have a lot of energy to fight and save people, hopefully, my kind heart won't put me in trouble.

"Fine, get some of the pack warriors ready and you are coming with me, I'm not going down alone, got it, "I said dejectedly.

"High, high, captain." He saluted with a smile on his face and left to arrange the warriors.

I frowned as I looked at my hourglass, only the moon goddess will save me from not dying, that's if she cares.

"Mate won't hurt or kill us you know. “my wolf said, she has been silent for a long time and I wish she could shut up forever.

"Oh, have you forgotten what happened in his pack, the two wolves that tried to end us before our time, or do I need to refresh your memory? I shot back.

"Mate said he wasn't the one, I could feel it in his heart. “she insisted.

"I'm sure you did." I fired back blocking her to the back of my head.

"Alpha we are ready, all the pack warriors are waiting outside for the next move," he said bouncing into my office with so much energy like he wasn't going for war rather a date. I wondered what got him to be in such a mood.

" Ok give me a minute. I said gathering all the remaining documents piled up on my desk and standing up from the chair.

I trudged after Ethan to the packed field. All my warriors were all looking prepared and ready for action. And here I was thinking it was going to take about three hundred years to prepare for the war.

"Listen up guys, I’m not here to give you all a war speech. What I only have to say to you all is, you all should be careful and makes sure no one dies, and finally when I tell you to retreat, you retreat. I said to them all. I couldn't afford to lose anyone in the pack because they were all like family, the one I never had.

"Is that clear warriors."

"Yes, Alpha Black, crystal clear. “they roared in unison.

"Christabel you remain in the pack to take control of the rest of the pack members till I'm back."

The happiness in her face dropped, if she thought she would be coming with me to see her mate after what she did then she have another thing coming.

That was her punishment for telling my mate we were leaving back in the pack.

"Yes, Alpha," she said through gritted teeth rolling her eyes while I gave her a fake smile in return.

"Now warriors, let the war Begin." I roared out.

now, what the worst that could happen.
