Page 71 of Mate to the Alpha Predator

"Uhm, she's not a changeling but—" Alphose began, needing to quench this fire before it begins.

"What!?A human!?" Ratinus, The Rat Alpha roared from his chair. He leaned forward and banged his fist angrily on the table, "A human put our lives in danger!? He should be killed!"

"Uhm, if you can just listen—" Alphose began again, but they cut him off.

"I say we cut off his head and present it on a spike at the market of the heart of Naturiah." Head Sentinel Rodarh snarled furiously.

Alpha Asisy's eyes were narrowed in sheer anger. "I say we lure him to the council, shift forms and let our other halves deal with this human." He spat the word 'human' disgustedly, "I cannot wait to do this."

"I cannot wait to tear him limb by limb." Head Sentinel Rodarh snarled, licking his lips like he can taste that person's flesh already. "Bet, I won't have to eat for three days after that, because I will feast very well."

The others nodded their agreement, followed by more words of anger and rage from the council members.

Noise erupted in the council. Angry sprouts and hateful snides about the human culprit. Most of them are already having a hard time controlling their other halves. A few of them have made a half shift, raging in anger.

All were demanding for the human that put them all in danger.

Alphose and Degar winced in the midst of the chaos. They'd predicted something like this will happen eventually, but it doesn't make it any better that it will happen. The council has no idea their 'culprit' is in Naturiah, under their protection.

Alphose's eyes found Head Sentinel Adanel from across the table, and a chill went down his spine.

Like the Alpha King, he is doing nothing or saying nothing. The male is too quiet about this. That in itself is a big problem.

Adanel is what they call a dangerous lone wolf. No one knows what he is thinking, feeling, or planning to do at any time...unless he speaks of it. Which he most likely wouldn't. He is almost like the Alpha King in that aspect.

Like most of the council, he hates humans. But, on a scale of one to ten, if others hate humans on a scale of eight or nine, Adanel hates them is off the charts. Maybe, fifty-four.

And, like the rest of the council, he is waiting for the Alpha King to give them information about this human that put them all in danger.

But unlike the rest of them who were bantering and raging, he is looking at the Alpha King quietly. Waitingly. Menacingly.

Alphose sighed. He has no idea how the Alpha King will go about this because he has no liking for humans or the human in question.

Also considering the fact that he does not want the human because of what the human means to him. How will he handle this?

Like Adanel, he turned and looked at the Alpha King.

CHAPTER 27. THE KING WOLF.

Eline was practicing with her bow and arrow in her backyard when she scented the Alpha King in her home.

Her heart went up to her throat, immediately. What is the Alpha King doing in her home? Is the council meeting over already? Has she done something wrong?

Quickly, she discarded her bow and arrow, removed the cloak, and straightened invisible wrinkles from her garments before she made her way back into her home.

"Good day, Alpha King. To what do I owe this—" she cut off suddenly when she saw that it wasn't the Alpha King, but her human roommate. "Ismena?"

"That will be me, Eline." Ismena let out a nervous laugh, trying to calm her own raging heart.

Damn, for a moment, she'd thought Wolfariane had walked through that door behind her.

"Wait. Why do you carry the Alpha King's scent? You do not have this scent a few days ago." Eline's confusion was blatant on her pixie face. She isn't an Alpha, so her scent is limited...not as enhanced as an Alpha's.

What the...? The womanknows she'd been hanging out with their Alpha King because she smells like him.

Wait, how does she smell like him? She'd bathed pretty well before coming out.

"Unless you had sexual intimacies with the Alpha King!?" Her eyes went as wide as saucers, "Wait. He had sex with you!? That doesn't seem possible, he has absolutely no liking for humans. Absolutely none."
