Being scared of the Alpha was more than a thought, it was a natural reaction, rooted deep into their core. If the Alpha ordered them to kneel they had to, if the Alpha ordered them to kill, they had to even if they didn't want to. For every pack the leader, called the Alpha, was the highest figure of authority, a man and unfortunately rarely a woman that took the leadership from the previous one through a battle that led to certain death. It was a brutal position filled with authority. So it was very clear that both Philip and Reina would freeze hearing their Alpha shout behind the door. They were wolf warriors but still their hearts trembled with fear and the girl looked at her friend with furrowed eyebrows before she opened the door. Philip shrugged his shoulders as confused as she was and stood up, straightening his clothes and fixing up himself.

Reina opened, wanting the knocking to finally stop and both of them stood in front of the tallest man in their pack. He was built a lot like a closet, with strong arms and wide shoulders, dark skin and short black hair with matching black eyes. He seemed older than them, in his mid thirties and his eyes scanned the younger wolves.

"Philip." he called his name.

"Yes, sir." The young man said, trying not to stutter in fear.

"Let's go for a walk shall we?" he asked him, tilting his head to the side, his lips twitching into a forced and very awkward smile. Philip did not like this, all his life, even before he was assigned as a wolf warrior he had always tried to avoid him. There was simply something wrong with him, as if he wasn't really one of them but a stranger, looking at them from above.

The wolf turned his head, his eyes landing on Reina asking for some support and the girl coughed.

"Um, would you like me to come along too?" she asked and the Alpha, who was named Mikain, turned his cold eyes towards her.

"Did I ask you to? Did I even talk to you?"

"Well, considering freedom of speech and all, I don't think that…"

"We don't do freedom of speech here, Reina." Mikain told her and the girl instantly swallowed the rest of her sentence. "That is for the weak humans who can't do anything else than talk." he said. Reina seemed to be dissatisfied with the answer she got from him and frowned, immediately catching his attention. "Did I say something that you don't like?" he asked her, his tone getting more aggressive.

"Let's take that walk!" Philip said. He wanted to take the Alpha away. Reina had a tendency to argue, and usually Philip was fine with that, he always enjoyed her witty comebacks but these things would not really pass in a conversation with Mikain so shutting up was always the better option. Shutting up or getting whipped, it was always between these too, the whipping was if you were lucky and he liked you.

Mikai lost interest in Reina easily since she wasn't his initial target and returned to looking at Philip, that awkward and obvious smile returning to his lips. The young wolf tried to smile too, his expression coming out more like he had smelled something unpleasant and was trying to hide it rather than happiness.

"Yes, come on now. Let's go to my room." he told him and Philip almost winced.

He hoped it wasn't what he thought. He really wished it wasn't. Mikain was known for his so called preference to take younger people in his bed, considering the fact that he was indeed quite handsome and the Alpha many young wolves who lived at the bottom of the pack delirious of who he truly was at first felt like they had been chosen for something honorable. That was until they met with his true preferences when the doors closed. The only thing that Philip could think of was that some of them were never seen again and he frowned as Reina closed her door behind them.

"You look concerned." Mikain said and Philip tried to smile.

Of course I am, I have to think if you want to **** me or not, he thought and took a deep breath. His heart was racing and he felt Mikain's palm on his back urging him to move faster.

"No, not at all. I am just curious why you would call me in your room. You've never requested me." he said and Mikain laughed.

"It's not for that." he said and Philip felt like a huge rock had been lifted off his shoulder. "But that's true, maybe I should call you. You've grown a lot more handsome since the last time I paid attention to you." he complimented him and Philip felt like he would barf. He hid it though behind a charming smile, he had smiled so much the last few minutes his cheeks were starting to hurt.

"Then what could it be? If I'm allowed to ask."

"Oh, you will see. Let's call it a surprise. I heard from a little bird that Mika and you did not follow us into the woods for the changing. You and your friend as warriors do have freedom but I was surprised as to why you chose to not come along." he said. If someone who didn't know him simply stood from a side and heard him speak he would think he was a very reasonable man. He talked nicely, his tone was sweet while a smile lingered on his handsome face. The truth was though that this tactic was simply part of his plan. He was being nice and sweet until he managed to make you spill what he wanted to hear.

"With my birthday approaching Mika and I wanted to spend this full moon with just the two of us. I guess some kind of childish last full moon before I find my mate and all…" he said, trying to sound carefree.

"I see. That sounds very nice. Three weeks right? I should hurry up and call you till then" he said and Philip's eyes widened, a lump forming on his throat.

"You honor me sir."

"I know. Here we are." He said and stopped in front of his door. It was of course at the last floor where the suites were. They had climbed a few stairs and walked through long corridors with closed doors. The rooms were fewer in the last floors and as Mikain opened his door Philip shivered. He didn't have a good feeling about this.

And he was right.

Soon the full room came into view, the Alpha stepping inside and allowing him to take in the picture in front of him. Him and his Beta had captured a man. He was seated on a chair in the middle of the room, gagged and cuffed. Filled with bruises.

The worst part was that Philip knew this man.

"Let's talk, Philip." Mikai said with a wicked smile and the door behind him closed, the loud banging echoing in the huge room.

...

Hello! Who do you think the man is? I am taking bets.
