The Silent Alpha (Natalia)

Vanessa***

The light of the full moon illuminates the dark skies as I make my drive through the woods.It was not difficult slipping out of the pack house without anyone noticing.

Christian is always trembling in his office or out in the training grounds pummeling his warriors to a pulp while Derek and Jordan are still trying to find my sister and her little brat.

I was practically running this s**t show off a pack on my own and as my mother-in-law, Kay, always liked to point out, I was not doing very well.But it does not matter.

Things were about to change.

I continue my drive down the winding road deeper into the woods until I reach the small cottage I was told to look for.

The cottage stands slightly at an angle and looks like no one has lived in it for over a decade, overgrown weeds climbing up its wooden walls.

The windows all have metal bars and from where I sit, I can see padlocks on the front door.

A cold shiver runs down my spine but there is no turning back now.I want to turn.

With shaking legs, I climb out of the car and walk down the little path to the front door, cursing myself for being so afraid.

My hand answers it.

“You Vanessa?” she asks in a gruff voice.

“Yes,” I whisper, trying my best to look nonchalant.

“Are you the one they call The Rogue?”

She ignores my question, looking me up and down with judging eyes and gesturing me inside.I follow her into the dark house, the kitchen dimly lit by a small lamp on the counter.

The woman leads me down the dark hall until we reach a room where she knocks just once before opening the door.

Aman sits behind a desk while staring at a laptop, his dark brows furrowed in concentration.

“Do you have your payment?” the man behind the desk asks without lifting his head from the screen.

“Y-yes,” I stammer, pulling out the small manila envelope from my purse and handing it to the blonde woman.

The blonde woman extracts the money and counts it in silence before nodding her head and placing the money on the desk.

“Leave us,” the man waves his hand and the blonde woman retreats into the hall, locking the door behind her.

I feel my nerves return and my legs once again start to shake f**k, am t really doing this?

“So, you’re the human who wants to turn?” The man asks, closing My teeth clench before I finally answer.

“I’m infertile,” I mutter bitterly.

“But werewolves…I heard turning could possibly reverse human ailments…I need to get pregnant.My Alpha needs an heir.” The man weighs my words carefully.

“I see,” he says, leaning back in his chair.

His dark eyes roam my body and I start to feel uncomfortable.I stare back at him with intense eyes, hoping to faze him but he just smirks back at me.

The mysterious man is quite handsome, with dark hair and dark eyes.

His beard is short and well groomed and his ears are pierced.

Waves of rippling muscles are barely contained within his black button up shirt.

“So, let’s talk business then,” the man continues, pressing in a code into what appears to be a safe beneath his desk.

The safe opens with a click and cold smoke emits from the inside.He pulls out three vials of dark liquid and places them on a rack on the desk.

“This is werewolf venom,” he says, pointing to the three vials.
