The Letter

Fuck. Why the fuck was she there? The look on her face when she saw the other side of me was one of fear. It’s the same look others give me when they see just how ruthless I can be. I thought I smelled her, but I figured, since I slept beside her last night it was just an after effect of it. I know she feels like I have been avoiding her, and maybe in a way, I have been.
I had recently found out from a letter that someone left with one of my warriors that her life was in danger, and I was trying to protect her. A month ago, I received a report that someone was kidnapping and killing wolves. Some of the wolves that were killed were mercs that I had done business within the past, of which I am not proud of, and a report says they are being killed by some sort of assassin known as the Nix. I can’t determine if this ” NYX” man is good or bad, but I have been trying to capture him since then to see why he is on a killing spree.
It’s forbidden to kill wolves the way this NYX person is, but I have heard reports of the kidnapped victims being rescued by this person as well. However, that’s not the only reason I want to meet this NYX man. He sent me the letter I mentioned earlier.
FLASHBACK (One month Ago)
I had been spending each day with Jasmine getting to know her, and what she likes. She has been in and out of depression spells but is breaking through. I feel so much passion for her, but I know she is a virgin, and she is innocent. I won’t rush anything until she is ready, but I can’t deny how aroused I am when I am around her sometimes.
I was in my office after putting Jasmine to bed one night. My Cartise and my Melons were all here discussing reports of kidnapped and killed wolves who I used to have employed in my palace. A warrior ended up coming in and handed me a letter. They told me it just appeared out of thin air, and it was addressed to me. Sounds like witch business to me. I opened it up and read it out loud for them to hear.
To The King,
You don’t know who I am, and I would like it to stay this way for now, but I can help you with the kidnapping issues going on. I had just started working on the case, and the wolves I killed informed me that they all worked in your palace at one point in time. They were told that their employer wanted to find a way into the castle to capture the queen.
I have my suspicions about who is behind it, but I must watch and observe every movement they make before I can strike. I know my methods are a bit unorthodox for you. I know you go by a certain code when it comes to taking a life, but I do not. I know you are hunting me to figure out who I am, and you will know my identity when the time is right. Just know, I serve your reign, and I will do whatever it takes to keep the queen safe as per the prophecy.

I had still been sending people out to capture this man, but something tells me that what he says is true. I will see how it plays out, but for now, I must find Jasmine. The wolf she saw us torturing was one that had been reported as helping with the kidnappings lately and caught by camera, so there was no way in hell I was gonna just let him go. I resort to killing as a last measure, but there are things that even I won’t look past, and this is one of them.
“JASMINE. JASMINE WHERE ARE YOU” I growled, and I’m sure the pack ground heard me because soon everyone started to call after her. I could tell she turned off her scent. How the fuck does she even know how to do that?
“She is stronger than you know,” my wolf Torak said. I can see his big goofy smile when he talks about her, but his worry matches mine when it comes to finding our mate. I know she is still on the ground. I can feel it. Plus, no one has ever been able to come onto my grounds without me knowing, as a part of a spell a witch friend has placed around the castle.
I’m in the greenhouse. Jasmine links me. I rush there and find her sitting on a bench staring at some flowers. I’m panting a little and she sees me. I can see she is taking me in. Before I can ask her if she is okay, she is pushing me against the greenhouse wall and she draws me into her lips…….
Unknown Pov…. (From now on Nyx Pov will be titled Nyx Pov. This Pov you are about to read is not Nyx, but this character will be revealed soon)
It’s dark…… I can’t see much… I can feel I am on a cold floor, but not much else after that. Where am I? The last thing I remember is hunting a deer, then I felt a sharp pain and now I have woken up here. Wherever here is. Suddenly, lights came on. I look around me and there are other males and females here. They all look to be around my age. I looked at a girl and boy sitting next to me.
“Do you know where we are”? I asked the girl, and she shook her head. I look at the boy who does the same thing. As he does, the door opens, and a man with black hair and blue eyes comes in.
The man who came in looked at me.
“You human, what’s your name?” he demands. Great. Kidnapped by stupid wolves. I try to use my power to contact dad, but my power is being blocked somehow. Fucking hell. They have witches working with them. I can tell it’s some sort of cloaking spell.
” My name is Ava sir,” I told him. I fear for my life, and I don’t want to be killed. The fear of me being kidnapped has already kicked in.
” Come here” he commanded, and I stood up, not wanting to give him a reason to harm me. There was a woman with red hair and a man with blue hair, who came in as I was walking towards the black-haired man. The red-haired woman looked in my direction and every hair on the back of my neck stood up, as if warning me about the danger I was in, specifically from her. They both screamed dark magic. Thankfully, the necklace I wear can cloak my magic when I feel it needs it too. I closed my eyes and felt a warm tingle in my back, letting me know it worked. I kept walking until I was in front of him. He grabbed me by my shoulders and spun me around until I was facing what I could only assume to be others who were kidnapped too.
“Be still,” he demanded, and I stiffened. I could hear a movement from behind me, but I wasn’t sure what was happening and that just made my heartbeat faster. He let go of my shoulders.
“EVERYONE LOOK AT ME BECAUSE I WILL ONLY SAY THIS ONCE” He commanded from behind me, and all eyes shifted to him except for mine. He still wanted me to meet them.
” AS OF RIGHT NOW, ALL OF YOU ARE UNDER MY CONTROL. IF YOU TRY TO ESCAPE, I WILL KILL YOU. IF I FIND OUT YOU’RE PLOTTING WITH EACH OTHER, I WILL KILL YOU. IF YOU SO EVER DISRESPECT ME, I WILL KILL YOU. YOUR LIVES NOW BELONG TO ME HUMANS. ALL OF YOUR FAMILIES HAVE BEEN KILLED, SO DON’T EVEN THINK YOU WILL BE GOING BACK TO THEM” he says, and I can see tears streaming from their faces from this. Him, killing my family. What a joke. He has no idea just who I am.
” NOW, HUMANS, YOU WILL STAY HERE AND YOU WILL DO AS I SAY. DON’T BOTHER TO CALL OUT FOR HELP. YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY NOTHING BUT MY PACK. IN WHICH YOU WILL SOON BE JOINING” he says, and then he grips my shoulders and leans in. I can feel his breath on my neck.
” You may or may not survive this, Ava, but if you do, I shall make personal use of you. ” he said, and before I could ponder what he meant, I heard everyone in the room scream, looking my way, and then I felt a sharp bite to my neck. Everyone was still screaming as I dropped to the floor screaming in pain from getting bit. He is turning me, and because of my background, I may lose my magic. I could feel myself starting to pass out but not before I saw the man who bit me turn into a large black wolf. Fucking Alphas.

Someone is watching us. This much, I am sure. I had to stop resorting to kidnapping wolves as it was drawing too much attention and I knew it was only a matter of time before the King reported us to the all-powerful council. The council is the one all species, Kings and Queens must report to. From what I have heard, only the strongest of us all are on the council and if they ever got wind of my plans, it would mean immediate extermination for me, my family, and our pack.
I have been trying to figure out how to break into the King’s castle so I can take Jasmine back. She was my mate first and what a powerful mate she will be. I know I may be a little obsessive with her, and I wouldn’t have been if she hadn’t rejected me first, but when she told us all who she was, and when we all felt the power of her wolf, I knew I had to have her. I don’t care who I must kill to get her, but I will have her. My father suggested two witches, who are brother and sister, come and help us with our problems. Soon they were here, and they came up with the perfect plan.
They would kidnap random humans so the trail wouldn’t lead back to us and then transport them to a huge cell we have here on the ground. The cell is soundproof, so no one is gonna be able to find it. We will turn the humans into werewolves and make them attack the castle. Not all of them will survive the bite, but because I am an alpha, I know most of them will.
The one called Ava resembles my luna in her looks, so I will be playing with her while my warriors prepare the new werewolves and force them to adjust to their new lives. Killing their families was my father’s idea. “No one should report anyone missing” is what he says. I know what he says is true. We don’t need a trail leading to us. At this point, it’s just a matter of waiting for the survivors to wake up so we can get this plan started.

Something is different. That’s what I am thinking as I jump from tree to tree scouting out this alpha’s grounds. I smelled humans, and I smelled her. Which is strange because I have been monitoring each person that has come in and out of there, but the smell of humans was so strong. Somehow, the smell started to die down until it faded and that struck me as highly unusual. How the fuck did humans get here? Why did their scent disappear? It dawned on me. They are turning humans into wolves. My sweet girl. I must get in there now! The more I think about it, the more certain I am that it is a witch working for them. It’s the only way they could get humans on pack grounds without anyone seeing them. I need to save my daughter, but how do I go through this without getting her killed? First things first. I need to report to my king.
