Rejected By An Alpha, Adored By A Lycan

Thane's POV My eyes linger on the map before me, it is covered with numerous red signs. This is my way of marking territories that I have been able to subdue. I have also been able to partially conquer a lot of pack territories. A lazy smile plays on my lips. I have strategically been able to attain the largest territory in Crescent Moon.  Wait! It seems that scoundrel Kael still has a rather large territory under him. I have tried by every means to take even an inch of his territory but he has not budged one bit. I have lost the most wolves to the pesky little flea. The plans I have for him give me so much joy. I have also  noticed that it seems like his ability to hold me back has made a lot of Alphas hopeful. "Alpha, you have guests." My Beta, Shaw says through the mindlink. It completely slipped my mind that I was expecting visitors today. Their visit is supposed to be a thing of glee for me since they are my moles in the Cantara Pack. But, unfortunately they always harbor bad news.  I heave a sigh, "Tell them I'll be right there." I fold the map up, placing it in my drawer. My heavy footsteps resound down the hallway as I walk from my office to the sitting room.  "I apologize for my tardiness," I address everyone in the room, not really meaning it anyways. They  all bow  their heads in respect. I take a seat on my favourite chair, facing everyone. "So, what good news do you have for me?" "We were able to do  what you told us, though it's slow but no one has noticed." "I am happy that you got something right this time, at least." I replied with a bored tone. "But there is a major problem." "And what will that be?" I ask in irritation. "It seems the little Luna is much more than we gave her credit for." This caught my attention.  "What makes you think so?" "Well an incident happened yesterday where a dominant wolf was taking advantage of a smaller one." "Get to the point already." I urge impatiently. "She intervened, winning the hearts of a good number of respectable pack members." I roll my eyes at the insignificant issue. "So what is the issue here?" "A pack divided can easily be infiltrated but a pack that is one is harder to break." I growl at the statement, it's actually true and my own words. "Why is this little thing such a problem?" I ask in curiosity. "The Council Member Morris stood up for her, and you know how much of a threat he is to us." my eyes widened in surprise, Morris is in the Luna's Camp that is interesting. "Who else?" "Well a couple of members of the pack council and a good number of warriors too." "Most Lunas stick to nurturing the pack and more 'lady-like' activities, why is she even on pack  training grounds?" "Well, certain members in the pack felt like she did not deserve the position and challenged her for it." A chuckle slips through my lips. "I get it now, so it's more of a thing of necessity." "Yes, and come to think of it, the plan we have going is actually perfect for the fight." "Well for once, I am one step ahead of the bastard." I say unable to hide my irritation. My phone rings distracting me, I slip it  out of my pockets and glance at the caller. A full blown smile covers my face, I answer immediately. "Hello." "I am outside the pack prisons with your warriors." "You did not inform me of this visit." I say in curiosity. "The last supply you gave is gone, I'd like another fresh supply for Alpha." I chuckle softly, sparing a glance round the sitting room. "You sure need to be careful  with your purchases, it's not easy to find." "Money is not an issue and you know it, make it quick, I wouldn't want to keep him waiting." I cut the call, placing my phone in my pockets. "Well since you have told me everything I need to know, this meeting is over." I stand up abruptly. "Have a great day, take them out of pack lands, Shaw." I take a turn out back, walking out the kitchen door. I walk towards the pack prisons, well this must be fun. I walk down the lone path and see two figures ahead. "Welcome to my pack prisons after just a week." I say as I approach the two figures. "Whatever, man, anything to sate our appetites." "You're one hungry man." I say cryptically. "Well follow me, I have the perfect pick for you." I urge him, walking past him pulling the  doors open. We walk quietly towards the last door at the end of the hallway. I stop outside the silver bars staring at the figures inside. He follows suit. Numerous hollow eyes look at us with apprehension from inside. "Have you seen what you like?" I ask. He takes his time then finally speaks up, "I like the brown head," he says pointing in a direction.  I follow this and chuckle. "This will definitely be interesting." "Why is that?" He asks in mild confusion. "She is pretty stiff-necked and stubborn, protected by an older she-wolf." "Will it be a problem," he looks at me with side eyes. "Of course not, just don't be surprised by any drama, and she will be harder to contain." "Before all that, any news on packs." "Well there have been rumors of certain things happening, you're moving too fast." "I asked for information not advice," I say irritation leaking from each word. He lifts his arms in surrender, "I'm just saying. At first packs paid more attention in keeping their individual borders safe." "What about now?" I asked with raised brows. "They are trying to form an alliance, I'm suspecting that they would  make that Lycan their head." "Wait, Kael?" I say gritting my teeth. "Yes, Kael. They all have noticed how he has successfully thwarted all your attacks on his border. In fact with barely any effort." "Watch your tone." I warn. "Well, you asked for information. I heard how even his weak Luna was able to kill your rogues. They are getting rather useless." "Don't you dare." "I'm just passing across the message from my Alpha. We want this alliance to work but we won't waste our resources on weaklings." "You know you need me." I say without sparing him a glance. "We do but if you keep losing, then I'm not so sure." I turn and call a warrior. "Come and take the brown head out." "Yes, Alpha." He answers, opening the bars and walking straight towards the brown head. Cassia intercepts using her body to cover the younger wolf. The warrior gives her a hard slap to the jaw, her head whips to the side but she remains in the same spot. He picks her and twists her wrist, a strangled cry escapes her lips. Then he stumps on her ankle, the pain disorients her and he picks up the little she-devil.  She bites his ears out until he pulls her off forcefully and gives her a blow that knocks her out. He carries her limp body, an arm shoots out and holds his ankle, belonging to Cassia. He kicks it off harshly and steps out locking the door. "What a fight, she had to take a good beating before she let the girl go." "I told you." I say with a sick smile. He makes a gesture with his fingers towards the door and calls in his second. Who drops a suitcase at my feet. "Your full payment with a little extra token for good service." "Well, thank you." I say with glee. I then opened the suitcase making sure the pay was intact. I noted with appreciation, "Good doing business with you." "Same. Do keep in mind our discussion. Make sure to take care of Kael soon before he becomes a real problem." "Don't worry about that, with what I have in store for him, he definitely won't see it coming." A smile played on my lips.
