THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION

LAST CHAPTER

THIRD PERSON POV

Nadia Dela Fuente, for the first time in her entire life, she felt like she was spinning out of control, her brain whirling with thoughts faster that you can stop it. She looked at the man standing next to her, a look of pure horror in her eyes.

“Its too late,” she whispered.

Collins staggered back, cussing under his breath as he ran a hand over his hair. This was not how his life was supposed to turn out. He pulled his attention back to the woman sitting on the couch, her eyes filled with hopelessness. His pack was probably revolting against him right now but he wasn’t planning on losing the woman he wanted at the sake of his unrelenting father.

“What do we do?” She questioned.

“We can still stop this and make everyone see-“ the front door burst open, Miranda and Sasha rushing in with the same look of horror in their eyes which was quickly replace by looks of relief when they spotted Nadia sitting in the house, unscathed.

“Oh, it worked. Damn! I’m a magic genius. Mum would have definitely been proud with me if she were still alive,” Miranda said, her eyes briefly sweeping from Collins to Nadia.

After the time freezing spell, Miranda had fainted out of exhaustion and when she came to, there no was trace of either Nadia or Sasha but the latter’s phone had been lying next to her head. She read the message from Nadia, triangulated the location of the car and retrieved the book of spells right under the driver’s seat. Unfortunately, Nadia’s phone had a cracked screen, proving unsalvageable. With almost all the town wolves engrossed in mourning their dead ones, she had found herself alone. Knowing she had small time to find both Sasha and Nadia, she set down to work, learning the spell as fast as she could despite being drained. Then Sasha suddenly come back, claiming she knew where they were holding Nadia and it was not in Collins’ pack like they had both initially concluded. They had stepped out in the street to find her when they ran into Collins with his friends, scouting the pack. He’d unexpectedly offered to be the one to bring Nadia back, much to the dismay of his members.

The two girls quickly engulfed Nadia in a hug. Collins had to admit that he’d been quite surprised Miranda was the witch working with Nadia all along. He never once pegged the blonde receptionist knew anything to do with magic.

“Thank you for trusting me, by the way. Anyway, we have a big problem, if we are going to stop this war- “

“Stop this war? What the hell are you talking about? Carson murdered my family and you want us to stop this was Collins? You would do anything for your cold-blooded murderer of a father, wouldn’t you?” Miranda snapped.

“Actually, I’m the one who wanted to call off the war,” Nadia said quietly.

“What? Why? Is this about him? We asked you and you said you won’t cold feet over Collins. So what the fuck Nadia?” Sasha demanded.

Nadia stood up,” I’m not getting cold feet. I’m just wondering what exactly is the point of all this. We’ll fight, blood will spill of innocent people and then this will become a cycle,”

“So what? Our parents got murdered in vain? What the fuck did you tell her Collins?” Miranda demanded looking at the guy.

“Collins didn’t tell me anything Miranda,” Nadia paused,” When Xander kidnapped me, I sort of attended the funeral of their dead wolves and …I felt selfish for the first time. I’ve been blinded by the pain of losing my family that I didn’t realize if we carried on with war, there are people out there who will get subjected to the same pain we had to go through now,”

“I watched my parents get slaughtered before my eyes and you stand here, telling me all this bullshit about getting soft after seeing some dead wolves? Where was that softness when I needed it? They didn’t show us any mercy,” she paused, her eyes falling on Collins,” I don’t know how you are manipulating her but I’m going to kill Carson myself and none of you are going to stop me,”

She stomped out of the house before anyone could stop her. She sure felt betrayed but that didn’t matter because she was going to kill Carson either way. She would damned if she left that soulless man walk on this earth tonight.

“What happened to you?” Sasha questioned, looking at her best friend in bewilderment.

“A kid, almost the same age like when I lost my parents, stood there watching his dear father’s body. He was just a kid with no idea what was going and now he has no family at all,” she took Sasha’s palms into hers, squeezing them.” Imagine how many kids are going to live through what I had to go through for fifteen years if we let this war take place? Obviously, I’m very angry but making everyone else suffer for things they probably had no idea of, that’s not revenge. That’s madness and I do not want to be part of. Carson will get what he deserves but for now I need to stop this war,”

Sasha looked at her best friend before pulling her into a hug,” Maybe we are all hurt but you are right. Having innocent people pay for the atrocities of one man is not the way to go. Now, that our witch is gone, what do we do?”

“Pay a visit to my pack,” Collins spoke up, gathering the attention of the two women.

“It kind of sounded like you said we should pay a visit to your pack. Are we talking about the same pack that had been terrorizing us for the past three days? If we didn’t have Miranda, we would have been dead meat by now.” Nadia pointed out.

“If we can convince my father to stand-down and make the pack see you never meant any harm, they will rally behind us. Without the pack, my father can’t do anything,”

“So you expect them to graciously welcome me and act all buddy with me?” Nadia questioned.

“Of course not but they will respect you if you are my Luna,” he inched closer to where Nadia was standing.

“What are you talking about?”

“You are my mate. If I seal the bond right now, you automatically become the Luna of the pack,” he answered.

“What the fuck is going on here?” Sasha demanded; arms crossed as she flirted a confused look between the two people.

Collins met Nadia’s gaze, staring into the depth of her eyes as a smile broke on his face,” She is my mate. Meeting Nadia wasn’t just a mere coincidence. We were going to meet either way because our fates were aligned from the very beginning,”

“Can you speak in a language I understand?” Sasha went on to demand.

“When my memories came back, I found out that my meeting with Collins was premeditated by the moon-goddess. That was the reason the witches suppressed my memories. Being a mate to the son of the man they needed to destroy wouldn’t have worked well in their favor and so they learnt that Drake was somewhere nearby, they had my parents offer me to him as a promised mate. They somehow believed if I had Drake as my mate, I wouldn’t lose sight of my mission of ending the wolves. Drake was strong, powerful and ancient. Unfortunately, they didn’t think my memories would come back before I had gotten rid of the wolves,” she explained.

“But why did they pick you?”

“Because for the first time in the history of hunters, there were pure blood hunters,” she answered, “Every hunter who ever existed, were all half-humans but with both my father and mother tracing their bloodline to the two of three original hunters, we ended up being pure breed of hunters for the first time in history. Granted, my older brother did get the hunter blood. Being a pure blood hunter, made us extremely powerful and adding to that, we were twins. So, they turned my brother and I into a weapon to destroy the dark-magic witches and the werewolves but as long my brother and I do not make any contact, none of that can happen,”

“Wait, you are hunter? How could I have not known about it?”

“Because I was unaware myself. One of the advantages of being a pure breed, is being untraceable. With training, we can become untraceable,”

“Wait, so what you mean to say, if you don’t come close to your brother, you won’t activate whatever weapon you are?” Collins questioned.

“Exactly. Now back to what you are talking about. Luna?” she raised an eyebrow in questioned, arms crossed.

“We just need to bond,”

“And how exactly does this bonding work?” Sasha questioned.

A smirk touched Collins lips,” You might want you cover your ears. Because after I reject Laila, it will get pretty loud,”
