Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

RAYHAN

It had been two days and nights yet still , she managed to escape us . I was one of the best trackers in The Black Storm Pack . Despite being an Alpha , I had the ability to blend in well .

I was fast , sharp and nothing got past me . Well , not until now .

This little witch was impressive despite the fact her powers were sealed , but I was beginning to doubt that , especially with how well she was hiding her tracks . That was until now , when we finally rounded in on her . The difference ? I hadn’t slept and we hadn’t stopped –

I’m sure the witch needed sleep more than us wolves . We were now on some rocky terrain , dense with forestry . She was smart to stick to paths near water , but that also meant there would be plenty of trees around . We had been searching high and low , I had a feeling she was retracing her steps too .

The sun would soon set and I needed to find her . The other problem was that there were some Manangal in these woods . We had come across three already . Uncle had said there was a high chance for some to still be out there , and it seemed like it was true .

” Alpha . ” Lola said quietly as she landed next to me , passing me a pair of pants as w e shifted back . Lola was the daughter of the current Beta , and she would be my Beta when the time came . She was two years older than me , strong and one of my closest friends .

” What is it ? ” ” Shall we proceed , or do you plan to go alone ? ” She asked , pulling on the oversize shirt . I flashed her a smirk , ” We need answers , I think going alone would work out better . I’ll mind link you i f things go wrong . Just be on the lookout , i f she tries to get away , knock her out .

” Got it . ” She said , cracking her knuckles . ” Really Lola , she’s as weak as a newborn pup . Go easy on her . ” I said as I walked closer to the faint scent , looking down at the river thirty feet below the cliff edge . ” Oh ? Then she shouldn’t get past you , should she ? “

” Well … I have to be a gentleman . I can’t g o hitting women . ” I said lightly , as I gave her a small nod , glancing at the few men who were with us . They knew their job and each one nodded before I jumped off the jagged edge and landed on my feet upon the ground below .

Now to find the witch … I scanned the area , smirking as I looked at the rushing river , the upended tree , some hedges … Where are you hiding , witchy ? I looked back at the upturned tree roots … She is only sixteen and is said to be very small .

I sniffed the area , getting closer to the tree , a smirk of victory crossing my lips . Oh , this little mouse has nowhere to run t o now … I saw the piles of nettles and thorns that were piled together and my smile vanished . A sliver of guilt rushed through me as I moved the prickly bushes , tossing them aside .

There she lay i n the fetal position , her knees tucked into her chest , her pure white hair , which was patchy with dirt , covered her face . Her heartbeat was very faint , I wondered how I didn’t pick it up , but I guess with the rushing river … and it seemed she was so exhausted that she didn’t even hear me approach .

, a fear that soon turned to anger and hatred . ” Stay away ! ” She shouted hoarsely . Her voice was

through hell from the looks of it … even if she was a witch . What Kiara said now made sense . ” Alright … I won’t approach . We just have some questions . ” I said softly , raising my

, then looked away , shaking her head bitterly . She didn’t believe me . ” We just want to know , what day Endora will attack . ” I asked quietly . ” First … Let me go . ” ” Now I can’t do that , can I … I need an answer

. ” She’ll find me and kill me if I answer that , but then again , you dogs wouldn’t care if I die , right ? ” She spat . For someone so young , she held

hair . ” If you tell us , I can take you to wherever you’re going . To safety . ” I suggested . Our eyes met and I took a moment to look at her properly . She was
