Chapter 9

Alexander's POV

It's been 48 hours passed after the attack of the rogues forcefully taking the unmated shewolfs. My beta Paul and the wolf warriors still continuously search and hunt the rogues hiding place. So far they have looked into the southern and eastern parts of the territory of the kingdom but still no signs or indications of them. The only one left they hadn't checked was the northern area near the mountains.

The entire map of the kingdom is spread out at my table. Examining and looking at the places where they could be possibly hiding.

"They could be hiding somewhere near the mountains" uttered my wolf to me.

Since they have surveyed and looked at the other areas, with no trace of the rogues, surely they are hiding near the mountains. The area around it is denser.

'It would take two to three days of hunting those damn rogues!'

"Just a little bit more closer, we'll have them in no time" Clenching my jaw, I stand up on my swivel chair and walked out of my office. Deciding to go to the training grounds. The urgency of my body to work out had my wolf on edge. Time to burn and flex some muscles. A wicked smile spread on my face as my wolf is thrilled to have some sparring and kick someone's ass off.

                           •••§§§§§•••

Arriving at the training grounds, there are already wolf warriors that are working out and fighting one on one to enhance more of their skills and abilities.

Samuel, who is the head coach and the master when it comes to the right training on fighting, and also one of my mentors who had trained me. He's the one who instructs and disciplines the wolf fighters of the kingdom.

Upon entering, I saw him at the circle ring in the middle of the training grounds. Where it held one-on-one combat between two wolves. There are already two wolf warriors who are fighting inside the ring and Samuel who's giving orders and instructions on the techniques of taking down the opponent.

He stopped giving orders to the two wolfs when he saw me enter. The other wolf who are busy with their training didn't sense my arrival. And it didn't bother me for I like it when they take it seriously of their training and give their best to learn more and be the best fighter to protect the kingdom.

They all stopped when Samuel ordered them to acknowledge my presence but I abruptly cut him off and told them to continue what they were doing.

Samuel walks up to me and pats my shoulder "Nice to see you here, Alpha King" he said in a massive voice.

"It's great to see the warriors getting on their feet to train hard and be at their best as they can be" as I scan my eyes around.

"It's what they are here for, they are born to be a fighter of this kingdom."

"Thanks to you Samuel, for helping me to have the best fighters who can defend the kingdom."

Then he laugh in his massive voice while shaking his head "No, my Alpha King it's all thanks to your father who had put me into this kind of duty. And it's my honor to serve you as well, my Alpha King" the glint in his eyes telling me that his sincere.

"My father never makes mistakes. And of course, I know that you are one of the best fighters for you trained me as well."

I shift my attention to the circle ring then move towards it "Looks like your busy, don't have time to break some bones?" I turned around at him while flexing my neck and shoulders.

He chuckled at me "Why? Bored of some kingly duties at your office?"

"Not really. Just want to kick someone's butt and sweat a little" raising an eyebrow at him and nudging my head at the circle ring.

"Of course, it's my pleasure Alpha King Alexander to be your sparring partner."

I step inside the circle ring with Samuel following behind. While the two wolves earlier that's having their combat practice give way and hop out of the ring.

The other wolves had stopped their training and swarmed into the circle ring to form a crowd.

"That's it wolves, better watch and learn" chuckled my wolf inside my head as I get rid of my shirt tossing it outside the ring.

"You do know, I won't be easy on you," said Samuel readying his stance.

"Then let's get it on" I replied in a low voice and lower my body into position.

We both start to attack, running towards each other, his claws extending as he swipes it at me but I dodge it easily and lowered my body, swiping my right foot at his legs causing him to fall back. But he got up quickly and dash at me punching me hard on my left cheek and another solid punch straight in my gut that made me stumble backward. The wolves that are watching us got tense seeing their Alpha King had just easily punched.

"We're just getting warm" I mumbled in a rough voice. My eyes flash from blue to black as my wolf is itching to take over the fight and I let him for he needed this and I hurled inside at the back of our mind.

Running at him, my wolf gives him a hard punch on his face that made him spit out blood then my wolf smirk at him "It's just one punch and you got blood out already?"

"It's not over yet, but I must say you got a lot stronger" Then abruptly he reach out at my arms twisting them on my back making me turn around and strangle me with his strong arms.

"Pretend as if you are choking wolf and losing air" I whispered to him on our mind to give the crowd some good show.

And the crowd yelled and shout at Samuel and cheered on us.

Samuel's strong arms tightened their hold on us but I don't and my wolf won't hold back on him just because he was once our mentor, I wouldn't hurt him but no, I will show to him and every single wolf who is watching us here, who is their Alpha King.

Samuel's body is built with massive and large muscles. He is very tall even taller than me. His looks are even more look like a barbarian and a caveman than a werewolf. He has a long beard under his chin and very well-built big shoulders and arms.

"Time to end this fight wolf," I said to my beast, watching him through our mind. With the extra strength of an Alpha King, my wolf holds Samuel's arms pulling off his grasp at us and he hurls its massive body throwing him across the ring, sending him falling on his back with a loud sickening thud.

The crowd went wild and cheered.

I approach Samuel and kneel beside him as my wolf went back inside me with a smug smile "Are you okay?" I ask Samuel but he just laughs at my question "That was a quick fight, you end it well. You had me there."

Then a she-wolf's voice interrupted us "Oh, poor Samuel" Standing up, I turn around to see whose voice is it.

"Denise?" uttering her name again after a long time had me surprised.

"Why are you here?" I thought I would never see her again after I end what we have two years ago.

"Is that how you welcome a visitor?" she said with a teasing smile on her face.

I did not respond to her instead I help Samuel to stand up "Thank you Samuel" I thanked him for having a combat fight with me.

"It's no problem, my Alpha King. It's always my pleasure but I think I need to go to the infirmary, I think some of my backbones are broken" Then he chuckled at me.

I just shake my head at him while he got out of the ring as I saw the crowd earlier has now dispersed and gone back to their training.

Then I turn around once again to face her.

"Well?" she said while holding out to me my shirt which I tossed on the floor earlier.

I grab my shirt on her hands, as I sense her intake of air eyeing my body. I quickly put on my shirt covering my body away from his prying eyes and ask her again, why is she here?

Then she takes in a deep breath and said "Can we talk?"
