A Pet For Alpha Devon

GINA

Silence met my voice as I advanced further inside the mansion. Aurora my inner wolf felt so restless as I continued walking.

"Mum, dad!!" I yelled again but no response.

It felt quite unusual for the house to be so quiet, try as much as I could I couldn't wipe out the weird feeling running through my veins. As the only heir to the crystal moon pack, there's so much responsibility on my head one of which I went to attend to which only took me three days away from my family and pack.

As the only child, I always had a more friendly relationship with my parents than most. They treated me with both respect and care, right until today, I've never missed a chance to talk to my parents but all of a sudden I couldn't reach them today.

Now that's something to be restless about. My parents weren't the type to suddenly leave home without as much as leaving a note down for their only daughter.

"If this is a game, you both should stop. You know I'm quite weak right." I shouted but still I heard nothing, not even the sound of a falling pin.

I looked back at my two male twin guards who kept following me as I walked up to my parents room. "Why are you both following me around? You both can as well search around if not for them then maybe for any note they'd leave behind."

"Yes miss." They said and walked towards different directions while I ran up to my parents room. Since they shared a room, it made it much better and easy for me.

To my disappointment I met no one inside except for their phones lying beside each other on the bed.

I moved forward to pick them up when I heard running foots outside. I quickly stepped outside just as one of my guards climbed up the last stairs.

"Why are you panting, did you find anything?" I asked quite eager to hear his response.

"All the guards and maids are nowhere to be found and..."

He seemed hesitant to say the next few words but after a glare from me to him he spilled them out.

"It seems the pack has been disbanded."

I staggered backwards a little. Disbanded? What happened that my dad disbanded the pack? Something is wrong somewhere, my dad wouldn't just one day stand up and disband the pack.

"We need to get out of here right now." As I rushed towards the west wing where my room is, I Issued another order. "Pack whatever you and your second would be needing, I have a feeling something bad is going to happen."

I punched in a few password and pushed open my door only to scream and run outside.

No, No, No, it can't be, It can't...

With heavy feet, I walked back inside. I've killed more than a thousand in my twenty four years of being in this world but never have I bestowed upon someone such a gruesome death no matter what the crime the offender is.

"Mia." I cried as I looked at her lifeless naked body in the pool of her own blood with claw marks all over her body.

"W-Why are you lying down motionless when you should be jubilating that I returned safely?" I almost choked on my tears.

Mia had been my maid since we were seven and five respectfully. I wouldn't consider the relationship we had as the friends type but the one of sisters. They should have killed me instead, why her?

I could feel Aurora at the verge of bursting out of my chest. God help who had the balls to murder my only best friend because I will make sure to kill the person. I would stop at nothing until I have the bastard's blood on my hands.

"Show me the god-damned footage from yesterday and today." I yelled to the two men standing behind me. Whoever it is would surely leave behind a trace. No war lord will wage war without having the intentions to fight.

"It has been tampered with." Michael said.

I chuckled dryly. Tampered with huh? Quite a smart person there.

Suddenly having a change of mind, I sat down on the sofa and loosened the ropes of my boots. "Whatever it is that made my parents, the pack members, the guards and the maids to flee, if it in any way is connected to Mia's death. I think it's best I stay here and find the answers." I mumbled and looked from one guard face to the other.

"Are you both with me?"

They nodded. "Till the day we breath our last." I merely just nodded my head and took over watching the footage.

***

A sharp knock came on the door jolting me out of my reverie. I stared at the door briefly and took my eyes off turning sharply when I heard my parents voice calling my name.

Filled with mixed emotions, I rushed towards the door and opened it. The two cheerful people I've come to know all my life walked inside, just that instead of cheerfulness, I saw fear all over their body they looked like they would give up the ghost any moment.

At the moment all I want is answers to my questions but instead I allowed them to freshen up, I even made hot chocolate for them.

"You have questions right?" My mother Kate Harrington said more in a statement than question.

I nodded. "A hell lot of them and I need the answers but first tell me why all of a sudden I could neither contact you nor father."

"We were busy." They answered as if a button was pressed to control them.

"Yeah, disbanding the pack." I said with a scoff. "So, why were you both not at home upon my arrival. This home was more like a deserted building, a little web here and there would've done the trick." My mother opened her mouth to say something but I quickly held up a hand signalling her to keep shut.

"Worse still-" I snapped my eyes close and exhaled slowly before I continued. "Mia was found dead in my room with claw marks all over her body. Can you both tell me what the hell is going on because I might lose it at this rate."

I watched them shift on their seats, each not looking ready to say something. "Will someone say something?" I barked and slammed my hand on the sofa.

"I-m sorry baby but-"

"I apologize for the headache we caused you. I will take care of everything." My father said cutting my mother off whatever she was about to say to me.

"The progress is palpable." I said not trying to hide the sarcasm."It's either you tell me now or you can as well lose a daughter."

"I assure you sweetheart, daddy has everything under control." His voice didn't sound so convincing let alone his words.

"Can you seriously assure me you've got everything under control?" I yelled. "Look at your pack father, disbanded, Mia was murdered, look at your wife, look at yourself father."

"I'm sorry," he sobbed. "I'm so sorry. I'm-"

"I don't care if you are sorry or not dad." I yelled, cutting him off. " I want answer. You had better give them to me before I lose the last shred of respect I have left for you. Please, dad."

"Don't get our daughter involved in the mess you created, Landon," my mom said, her lifeless blue eyes staring at me. She did her best to smile, but it had no warmth in it. "Baby, we can handle this."

"I wouldn't have that mother."

"We have to tell her, Kate." Dad said. "She deserves to know now. Besides it's not like he's going to let us live. Mia is an example."

"I want to know, mom." I added. "If you deny me this request then I would never forgive you." She stared at me with tears streaking down her cheeks.

"Fine."she said. "But, you have to promise me that you would let us solve this ourselves. Don't get yourself involved in this mess."

"I promise," I replied as if I have any plans to keep to my end of the promise. "Just tell me."

"There isn't much to say because it's kind of complicated," Dad chuckled dryly. "My greed doomed us."

"How?" I asked.

"Do you remember the last ball we graced with our presence?"

I nodded. "Of course, you tried to set me up with Roland the Alpha of blue moon pack."

"At the ball, I was taken to a private area for a business discussion." He explained. "It was an extremely shady business. they said they needed to trade a few materials I wasn't privy to, but it was going to yield a massive amount of money. To evade the law, they needed reputable businesses to receive the money as a form of investment and then pay the agreed amount to an individual. That way, we get to keep our cut and they get to keep theirs."

"Let me guess, you lost the money." I said with a sigh.

"I swear, I never got paid." He said. "But they somehow have evidence that shows that I did. Now, I'm being accused of stealing the money that I now learned belonged to the most powerful Alpha mafia."

"I don't see how that affects the pack that you went as far as disbanding it, you chased out the whole of your workers and worse still you ran away from home. You're freaking rich father, you can easily pay off whoever the bastard Alpha mafia is."

He chuckled dryly. "That would have gladden my heart if they hadn't include in the contract that I loaned a certain amount of money from the Alpha mafia and I'm to pay back three folds of what I loaned.

"When was your due date of paying up the money?" I asked almost inaudibly.

"Yesterday." My mother answered weakly from where she's sitting.

"And since you already knew you couldn't meet up, you sent me out of the pack for three days, because you already knew what would happen, you disbanded the pack but forgot Mia and she had to pay with her life. What's his name? I asked already rising up to my feet.

"No!" Mom protested. "You already know more than you should!"

"Devon Fenrir." He said ignoring his wife's protests. "The Alpha of the Bloody Fangs mafia pack."
