The Were CEO’s Secret

Chapter Eighty-One – Birth of an Alpha.

Stephanie’s breathing slowed down as Luciana’s claws didn’t tear off her body. She diverted her gaze to the fox that walked in.

“Keon?” she whispered. It was huge, with gleaming blue eyes that seemed fiercer than the ones she usually saw. He didn’t even look at her.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Luciana smiled. “Jarma, if you want to steal Stephanie, do it?” she turned to Jarma trying to sneak up to Stephanie to untie her.

Stephanie looked from Jarma to the fox? They came to save her? “Keon, she wants to kill you! You shouldn’t have come.”

The fox turned to her and even if they were still blue, she could see the sadness whirling inside his eyes. Is he risking his life for her?

“Jarma, take her out! She doesn’t need to see me kill him!” Luciana barked in anger.

Jarma dragged Stephanie out, turning to Nathan once before leaving.

Luciana took a step forward, the fox went back. “So, before you came to live with us, did you know your father killed my mate or did you know while living with me?”

Keon’s heart beat evened out. It was his father that had killed the mate? He smirked within himself.

In one jump, he ran out of the graveyard. Luciana snarled, running after him.

Jarma tried forcing Stephanie into the car but she pushed him aside. “How can I leave when Keon is about to be killed by his sister?!”

Jarma glared at her, with hints of confusion. The hell was Keon? “Look, Nathan was very clear, okay? I need to save you…”

“No, we are going together!” Stephanie shut him up and ran back towards the graveyard.

Keon stopped running around an abandoned garden, he shifted, put on a short and waited for seconds before Luciana ran into the place with him.

“Thanks for the run, good exercise.” Her voice came out in growls, she strolled towards him.

“Lucy, please! You claim that my father killed your mate but did you know your mate started this war?” Nathan said with a slow tone.

Luciana raised her left brow. “And how? He was killed because he tried stopping your father from stealing..”

Nathan shook his head. “That’s not true. Your mate had actually killed a fox first, my sister!”

Luciana paused, stunned for a while.

“That caused everything! Your mate caught her stealing crops so killed her to impress you. That was why my father killed him!” he added.

Jarma and Stephanie ran to where they were, both panting heavily. Seeing the Alpha hadn’t killed Nathan yet, Jarma was hopeful it could be resolved.

“If my father that had started a war against all werewolves for killing his daughter, would it be better? But that’s exactly what you did!”

More hate spread across Luciana’s face but her feet was rooted to the ground.

Her mate was mutilated and killed and the wretched fox took ransom for him?!

But she never heard he killed the fox princess. It would make sense as the fox leader’s younger sister, Kira, was termed the next princess.

She never thought it was because the fox leader’s daughter died, she never guessed how she died.

“And how am I sure you aren’t lying…?”

“Cos mother knew. And I knew from reading the last letters Princess Kira wrote to a boy.” Nathan answered immediately.

Luciana scoffed. “So saying this, I’d spare you?”

“I’m just saying, begging that you help me get back my sister again.” He pointed at her. His hands simultaneously wiped off a tear.

Jarma’s heart beat rose for every passing minute she stayed in silence. It increased when the Alpha began moving towards Nathan.

He closed his eyes accepting her decision, and waiting for his gullet to be pulled out but instead, his necklace was pulled out.

He opened his eyes, she was in front of him and her red eyes were back to normal. He could swear that they teared up.

“This isn’t yours anymore.” She held up the necklace, the handmade necklace she had made for her brother, the only man in her life.

His legs felt weak. He didn’t know which was better, she killing him and feeling better or she disowning him. She turned and walked away.

He snapped from his thoughts and took few steps to her. “Johnson sent you that letter, the letter of my identity so you’d come after me.”

She turned to him. “And I did.”

He agreed. “Yes, but it was a diversion, he is actually attacking the pack right now? You need to come back.”

Stephanie held her hands in prayer, wishing that the Alpha would return.

“We have no chance against those elder wolves, if she doesn’t return.” Jarma murmured to himself.

Luciana looked away, she said nothing and walked away. Nathan knew she wasn’t going to the pack.

He sighed, bitterly. “Lucy, please!” but low growls replied him. “Don’t call me Lucy.”

Stephanie ran into the yard when she was sure Luciana was gone, she took slow steps then increased her steps when Nathan was falling.

“Hey, hey, it’s okay.” She caught him before he fell. His heart beat was ridiculously high. “It’s okay, at least she didn’t kill you.”

Nathan sobbed. “She should have.”

Jarma walked into the yard. “I know you’re going through a lot now, Nathan, but we need to go back to the pack and do what we can.”

Stephanie nodded, wiping off her own tears that were formed from worry. He gave her a tight lipped smile and she smiled back.

She helped him up. “Go and help, I’d find my way back home.”

He nodded. “Bye, girlfriend.” And left with Jarma. Around the mountains, he shifted to his fox.

Jarma stared at him. “You’re sure you want your pack knowing you’re a werefox, that’d be huge.”

He nodded.

Jarma shrugged. “Okay, Keon. Let’s go.” He shifted to his grey wolf and they sped towards the pack.

One elder wolf remained, it seemed their pack had an upper hand but fear reigned in the hearts of the warriors fighting, without an Alpha.

Keon felt the presence of Francis around, but it was indistinct and felt distressed.

He couldn’t find the boy and guessed he wasn’t in human form, which would be very bad.

A small girl ran from a warrior wolf chasing after her, Keon nodded at Jarma to find Johnson while he left to save the girl.

He pounced on the warrior’s neck, breaking it and he picked the girl up, sliding her to his back and ran all the way to the protection hall.

All the pups looked at him questioningly seeing a fox, they were kids so didn’t judge and Keon could swear he saw fascination in their eyes.

He smirked and ran back to the battle ground, everyone seemed engrossed in the battle to notice a fox fighting alongside them.

Cole handled the elder wolf while the warriors combatted the Sparks Moon Pack warriors.

Keon couldn’t find Johnson or Jarma anywhere, he hoped Jarma was going alright.

Clawing out a warrior’s face, he pinned him to the ground and as his eyes glowed, he sucked the life force from him. He went on to the other warriors, it was easier than he imagined.

Suddenly there was a deafening growl, from the forests. The warriors paused, it was followed by a whimper and then a howl.

No wolf moved, they didn’t recognize the howl. It then clocked to Keon, Francis.

Somehow the howl seemed to call for him and he dashed straight to it.

He met the WolX, on the ground, seeming half dead. He saw Jarma’s wolf on the ground as well, but he wasn’t dead. His muscles tensed and his blood ran cold.

He spun round, feeling the aura of Johnson’s wolf creeping upon him. The black wolf snarled, hungrily and with sheer excitement.

Keon whimpered, moving back slowly, this was a miscalculation, a horrendous one. He flung a claw to the black wolf but it slapped him off.

He crashed to a tree and realized how painful it was, even in fox form. The wolf hopped to him again, hoping to finish him off.

Keon’s eyes barely opened but he witnessed a huge grey wolf, one that looked like a silver wolf under the night’s sky, come in front of him.

“Selena?” he whispered, raising his head but it fell back. That was his sister’s wolf!

Selena growled, taking steps towards the black wolf. The wolf growled in return but with a less intimidating tone.

Selena charged at him, pinning him to the ground and reaching for his throat. The wolf scratched her back but she swallowed in the pain.

Keon sneaked away as the Alphas struggled, he checked on Jarma and nudged him to wake.

Francis fluttered his eyes open as Keon waved his bushy tail across his face. He staggered to his feet, however, he fell back.

The black wolf was kicked to a tree, it struggled to get up. Selena glanced at Jarma then pointed her snout to the black wolf, ordering him to kill it.

In one swipe, Jarma’s wolf clawed deep into the black wolf, he brought his eyes closer to his own, before dragging his gullet out from the throat.

A growl of dominance resonated in the pack, marking the birth of a new Alpha wolf.

The Sparks Moon warriors stopped fighting on hearing the growl, they recognized it.

Cole struck the last elder wolf, killing it.

He gazed at the direction the growl came from and out from the forest, came two Alpha wolfs, one he recognized as his own Alpha.
