Alpha Xander

The thought of having Linda being tortured again or killed because of me left me with no choice than to do what Hutton has ordered,

The pain of seeing people die all because of my miserable life was something I never wants to feel again as it makes me become a monster, it shatters my heart into pieces,

Hot tears filled my eyes with great fear making my legs weak as they shake terribly, I was taking steps forward to the garden where Xander was, a place Hutton had said Xander forbade anyone from getting in, my eyes roamed around, and I couldn't see a single student around there, I glanced back and Hutton was still standing there to be certain I went in...

I hadn't been afraid of Xander a bit even after all Hutton and his father was saying not until today I finally met him, he was no different from the devil, both in his physique and heart, the way he stared at me coldly really ripped my heart,

I had shown him the scar in my palm, so he would recall the good deed I did for him and spare me, but I was wrong, he doesn't care!

My tears fell off freely as I got closer, I really had no choice, it was better to die in Xander's hand than staying alive with Linda being killed, I won't be able to bear the deep pain I was going to feel.

My feet kicked on a hard substance on the ground making me look down quickly only to see an empty skull, a scream escaped my lips, but I was faster to muffle it into my palm,

My heart stopped beating as I stared at the skeletons on the ground, the scariest part was that they had some piece of the school uniform on them, which means they must have been one of the students who tried getting into the forbidden area made for Xander, and now I was also going there, I don't need any soothsayer to know I was going to die today.

I shut my eyes and took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves as great anxiety tore through me, there was just no hope of getting out alive, especially when he had stated it clear and plain to my face that he was still going to kill me even after saving him from the deadly trap...

I could literally hear my heartbeat in my ear, I was sure he must be hearing it because it was just so loud,

Xander's POV.

I sat right in the middle of the garden with my eyes closed, my legs were crossed like a monk, and I was lost in thought, I kept racking my brain to understand what was happening to me, the scene was clear in my head and each time I try to make it look normal, I still find out there was something different about it,

Who was that beautiful young girl, and why did I have to meet her again, not just meeting her again but being in the same class with her, meaning that I would have to see her almost every day of my life, the worst of all is that she turned out to be the mate to Hutton meaning I would have to take her life at all cost?

It is something that should be so easy as I'm not concerned about who dies or live, I kill without restrain, and now I had promised Hutton to take away everything that makes him happy, I had to belittle him so well as to make him and the whole Northern American Packs know how great we are,

His pack rules northern America while my pack rules over the Eastern part, although every single pack bows at our feet, I still feel like bullying Hutton, all of a sudden, I love seeing him in pain, each time he is in sadness, I feel satisfied.

A deep sigh escaped my lips as her face crossed my head again, I opened my eyes and inhaled the cool breeze which hovered around the garden, the scene of last night was replaying in my head and I couldn't just understand why a stranger would sacrifice her wolf power to save someone she knows nothing about.

Shit!...and she would still die in my hand,

Hutton dared me to kill her, and I'm surely going to do it without hesitation,

I made to shut my eyes again for meditation when I noticed a movement of leaves from a distance afar.

My brows arched, I frowned really deep as my sharp eyes quickly decipher what it was, it wasn't any animal but a student, anger swept through me in a rush as I wondered who had broken my rule, I would never spare whoever it was.

With great speed, I shifted into my Dragon Wolf monster with the magic of a demon, my anger was so much that I couldn't wait for a second and was ready to burn whoever it was to ashes.

With the speed of lightning, I dashed to where the movement was noticed, ready to devour whoever it was.

I got right there and saw it was a female student, she was walking around with an unsteady step like she was hunting for something, with anger, I gripped her neck from behind and slammed her to the ground heavily, "How dare you enter In here?.you are calling for your death I guess!!!" I howled and raised my fist to smash her head to the ground,

"Xander, please spare me!!!" I heard her voice resound through my ear to my head, my fist loosening at the voice.

"Please Xander, don't kill me too soon even if you would do that...." she cried and turned her bloody face to me, she had gotten a deep cut on her head when I slammed it to the ground.

I stared at her and couldn't understand what was happening to me,

She stood up from the ground weakly, groaning in pain as she wiped the stream of blood that almost got into her eyes, my monstrous form was still on but had gotten suddenly weak at the sight of her bloody face.

"What are you doing here?.you again?" I growled gritting my teeth, there was no way I would accept she is affecting me a bit but then, I don't know why it's hard for me to kill her immediately,

"I know you hate me, but please don't kill me yet" she pleaded and spat out a clot of blood.

"You have no right to tell me whom to kill or not, you should know that anyone who walks in here becomes a corpse, all those skulls are of those who disobeyed me, and now you become one of them!!!" I roared and charged at her with a heavy punch to her belly, pushing her far away.

She landed heavily to the ground with a loud cry that was breaking through me, yet I was never going to allow that to happen, I had never returned any favor, she saved me from the trap doesn't mean I was going to save her life after she had not just turned to be Hutton's mate but also broke my rule by walking into my secret garden,

I got to where she lay weakly on the ground and growled.

I raised my booth to smash her belly, but she swerved away with a great speed that stunned me, I rushed at her, but she sprang up from the ground and ran off like the wind, I chased after her in anger using all the speed I got but to my greatest surprise, she was few meters away from me, no matter how much I ran with my wolf and dragon speed.

"Are you playing around with me?" I howled in frustration and stopped, for the first time in my life, I felt intimidated but was also surprised at whom she really was.

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to die now" she cried out breathing heavily, her face was smeared with blood, she placed her hands on her knees with her head bend over letting the blood drop in clots,

"You should have lost your wolf powers, but now you turned out to have strange powers added to that of your wolf, how couldn't I get hold of you!!!" I yelled in exasperation.

"I don't want you to kill me, I saved you from death." She yelled back.

"Why are you here?.to test and see if I can kill you?. I don't return favors, today is your last day on earth." I huffed, and shut my eyes muttering some magic words which I had in my head from the vampire powers in me, I was going to poison her blood from her open wounds causing her instant death.

My eyes were still shut as I began the words, the thick black smoke was already forming, but just then I felt someone hug me tightly.

My eyes popped open, and I saw it was her,

"My name is Lena, you are Xander, please let us be friends instead of enemies, I'm not Hutton's mate, he hates me so deep and raw that he made this plan to have me killed, but I trust you, no matter how evil you seem to be, I believe you are a good person" she sobbed with her head buried into my chest.

I felt my jaw drop, her body was so soft and tender, her voice was exuding pains and sadness but what shocked me most was that I couldn't push her away,

"Please....don't kill me" she pleaded again, her voice sounding different in my head down to my heart, I felt my body getting weak with her hug which went deep into my heart...

"Get your body...off...me!" I snorted, breathing heavily,

"You might kill me" she mumbled.

I stared in shock as my arms went around her waist against my wish, it wrapped her gently while I watch, not believing I was the one doing it.

I had noticed her presence was affecting me in some way, but never did I know it was this way,

I spread my fingers and strong sharp claws replaced my fingernails, I was going to stab her with it from behind!

"I'm sorry, I'll have to kill you." I muttered in my heart and made to strike her deep,, but my hands got weak immediately,

"She would be in pain, can you bear her cry of pain?.." I heard my gruesome wolf talk for the first time this whole season,

He rarely talks but acts alone, but just now Kane my devil wolf just spoke out gently.

"Why can't I kill her?" I asked him but he sighed only.

"You hugged me?" She mumbled as she felt my arms around her.

"Lena is your name?..and.you aren't Hutton's mate?" I questioned, not understanding why I was suddenly interested in that.

"Yes..." She replied with a sulky tone before looking up at my face with those deep blue sea eyes that were glistening with unshed tears.

She moved her palm to my cheek, and I was shocked to feel some shivers, I couldn't believe I loved the feeling of her palm on my cheek. What is happening?
