I didn't even run to him when things happened because I wanted to be strong not weak like my papa. "So?" I asked arrogantly. I know their beta won't be here aside them needing help from me which I don't think I'm ready to do. No one would try to come to my pack without having a very important and sensible thing to say. If not they are joking with their lives. I don't like to entangle myself with any pack and they know me for that. "Alpha we have a problem......" "If it's about me helping you to fight bigger packs, I'm not interested. Tell your alpha that he should fix it himself. I hate weak people" I said bluntly. " No alpha. That's not the story. It's not to the way you thought it to be at all. I plead you hear me out alpha" he pleaded. My anger as started to build. I was super hungry and this guy here is hindering me from eating. I feel like to rip his head off but I have principles that I won't hurt anyone that is innocent to me. "You better make it snappy with whatever you've got to say before I have your head on the platter. I don't have all day" I threatened fiercely. Even with the man being a beta, I could sense his fear and nervousness. I wouldn't blame him but I don't like his weakness. "Alpha, as it is well known that the Pine pack is well endowed with a valley of different precious stones and we've been trading this stones for decades now but alpha, ......" He swallowed and continued almost immediately. He was really talking fast so as not to get me angry. ".... Some sort of alpha get to know that we just discovered a vast land filled with diamonds so they paid us a vist to tell us that they want part of the diamonds. As a peaceful pack, our alpha didn't object because we believe that the moon goddess gifted us so that we can share with the world. We dig the diamonds and share with them in 30/70 for months. But where the problem lies is when those alphas do not only want the largest share of our precious stones but they want our land. This our alpha wouldn't agree. He told them that he won't vacate the land so war broke out. But alpha, these alphas won't fight fair. They fight is with wolfsbane that had this disastrous communicable disease in them. This diseases kills out wolf in minutes and makes the bearer die in days. This disease killed us in hundreds starting form our alpha's family with our alpha inclusive. We tried to negotiate with them but they wouldn't . They want us to leave so that they could take over" the beta finished his narration. The story to a normal person was so touching and pitiful but to me as the abnormal person, I am was so annoying. I felt like it's all the fault of their alpha to let those greed of alphas into his home in the first place in the name of peace. He didn't need to tell me who those greedy alphas were because I know them. They've been like this for years and I've been finding a way to deal with them but I'm taking my time so I would make their death worthwhile. "I hate weak people" I growled. But I do love precious stones. In fact I sleep on them. Looking at the way I gather them, it was obvious that I love them. Not that I didn't know about the pine pack's blessed vast land of precious stones but I might be a brute but I'm not a greed. I buy my stones with my money. I might be very wealthy, I'm still seconding the pine pack and I don't covet them. I also didn't want to think that they intentionally came to me to entice me with their stones since they might have heard that I love those stones. "What do you want from me?" I asked. No one knew exactly where I orginated from. They just make up stories that suit them and I don't care. They named me after demons but I also don't care. "We want you to save us alpha. Save our people from been killed unjustly with diseases" he replied. I gave him a glare. " Why? Do you think I have healing for this disease? Do I look like a physician to you?" I asked harshly. The beta became dejected. He didn't even know what to say. Looking at his face I knew he care for his people. I love that. That was one thing I love about my papa. I sure know a way to save them. Lycans are the strongest and they don't get anyway affected by the wolf's bane and with what he said, the disease was mixed in the wolf's bane. It simply connotes that the disease can't live without the wolf's bane. Making them a lycan is the solution to their problem and I'm not willing to risk that. "What would be my gain if I decide to save you" I asked. The beta's face lit up with excitement. "We are ready to give you all our lands to you alpha" he replied. Wow! That's was more than I thought he would say. I thought he was going to offer me huge precious stones but an entire vast land was a sumptuous offer. No alpha would hear that and wouldn't want to click the bargain almost immediately and start to prepare for war. But even at that offer, I have huge principles. One which is I don't want unknown people in my pack. I want to be all might alone and not with adding someone's pack with mine. Two I want to bear my name alone. I gave the guy a nonchalant look. "Well that offer sounds so mouth watering but I'm not interested. I don't want your lands or people" I rejected.
