Sold To My Alpha Mate

Venom’s POV

“Venom” a voice called out to me from afar, one which was familiar to my ears. I turned around, and searched through the crowds, but could not find who had called me.

But when I strained my edges through the crowd, I sighted a hand raised, and a figure leaping from the ground for her face to be visible, and it looked just like Maya, a troubled Maya.

“Could we talk about this later.?” I said to the guard whom I spoke with. He bowed, turned around and left while I turned towards the lady who approached me with hasty feet, And her chest moving in and out.

She was sweaty, dressed not in the manner the people knew, and within her eyes laid a form of fear which I couldn’t pinpoint.

“Venom! Venom!!” Her hasty breath muttered my name with so much exhaustion, and her eyes had the same fear I had noticed, with tears rolling down which she wiped off and tried to control.

“Be calm” I said to her, holding her by the shoulders, trying to make her catch her breath before I could question her on what could have caused her to rush towards me with so much haste.

“Tell me what’s happening. Why are you tense?” I asked her. I placed my hands underneath her chin, and pushed it upwards, causing her to stare into my eyes before I asked her, “What happened?”

“I think there’s an assailant in the pack” she said to me.

“What do you mean by there’s an assailant in the pack.?” I questioned her

This was the first I had heard, something which had never seemed to exist, except it was I who was unaware of the pack which I led. But whatever she meant by having an assailant in the pack, I considered her words as true, having the evidence in her eyes and the way her hands shook as I held her.

“I can’t describe what I saw. It’s a terrible sight.” She stuttered with more tears rolling down her eyes, salivating hard as though she gathered the boldness to utter what she had seen.

“I was having a morning run, when I stumbled upon the sight of a little boy murdered on the road. It looks like he had a struggle with this certain person, and his belly burst open” she said to me.

I looked at her, stunned at the description of what she said. I tried to process all of her descriptions in mind, and it was as she had said, one of the most gruesome things ever witnessed.

“Has anyone else seen this?” I asked her.

She shook her head in negation. She sniffled her nostrils, wiping off her tears. I pulled her closer to myself, and wrapped my hands around her tightly in a bid to comfort her over what she had seen.

What was happening? I was dumbstruck by what she had said, but at the same time, trying to exude a firm of confidence and bravery before her, meanwhile having my heart throbbing and racing in fear.

“Look at me…” I said to her again, and this time, it was a willing effort which she made to look into my eyes.

“Do not tell anyone what you have seen. Come show me where you saw that body!” I said to her.

She led the way, taking me straight to where she had seen the body. It was a lengthy distance, but for the sake of the safety of the entire pack, I needed to take those steps so I could know just what we were up against.

And there we arrived. She pointed her fingers towards the car where the body laid underneath, and I witnessed that it was a little child.

“Who would want to kill a little child?” I questioned myself audibly, though with a low tone.

She overheard, and she shrugged her shoulders as she responded, “I don’t know. And now, there isn’t any child on the road, no one around. It’s a silent place, and I fear that this is only the beginning.”

Was this supposed to be a kind of call for attention? Whoever it was, it was certain that they had gotten my attention. But I never knew where to start from, what to do, and how to protect my people.

I looked around, and just as Maya has said, it was a silent path, no one stepping out or even seen.

“We need to get his body out of here!” I walked towards her and whispered to her.

I held her by the hand and turned around to head home. I was going to get some of my most trusted men to aid clean up the entire place. Perhaps, after that, what is next to be done would be to summon a meeting with the council of elders.

There needed to be something to be done urgently, and a brainstorm of the most intelligent men in the pack would go a long way to aid me in ending this type of scenario.

As soon as we arrived home, I asked for Maya to be taken care of, and well fed. All of these to ensure that her mind was never taunted by the devastating sight of the body under the car.

I took some of my most trusted men to the site, and together we took the body off the road, and cleaned off the blood stains.

“Call for a meeting with the elders. Tell them how urgent it is, but do not tell them what you have seen. In fact, do not tell anyone anything you have seen here. I’ll tell them myself” I said to one of my guards.

He rushed out of my presence, running off to carry out what I had ordered. For me and the other men, we headed home. But while we rode, I couldn’t get my mind off what was happening in the pack, but I was certain that it would end as sudden as it started.
