“Come man, do you really have to ask?” I asked him. “You’re the head guard. You’re smart, quick on your feet, and you have the respect of the pack. Especially the other guards and warriors. You trained me, and Brent. That is until we both surpassed you. But that goes to show how well you trained us. The students became the teachers and now, these teachers are going to run this pack when Richard and Jackson announce their retirement in two days’ time.” “Seriously!? You’re becoming Alpha?! And you want me to be your Gamma!? I’m a f*****g Omega!!”
“So am I. So is Brent! Hell, Brent is even lower than an Omega. He’s a f*****g newborn!” I joked, which made Brent glare at me.
“Maverick, my boy, take the position. If there is someone I trust more than Chad to take that spot, it’s you,” Jasper said to him, patting him on the back.
“…”
“Come on man,” Brent said to him. “The three of us are already close friends. You guys showed me how to be a werewolf and a guard. I would be honored to run this pack with you guys.”
“You always said you wanted to get away from training, did you not? Training is the Beta’s job, so you would be in charge of pack logistics and keeping the peace between pack members. You already do that as it is when a fight breaks out. And you do it without having to get physical, or at least not much,” I told him. Maverick just stared and said nothing. I could see the cogwheels turning in his head as he considered my offer.
I saw his gaze revert back to Jasper next to him, who just smiled and nodded. Then his gaze fell upon Richard and Jackson, and I could see in my peripherals that they also nodded their heads. Finally, he turned his eyes back to me, and I smiled at him. He took a deep breath and looked at the floor while he exhaled. After what felt like an hour of silence, Maverick let out another sigh and nodded his head. He looked up and smiled. I smiled in return. Brent slapped him on the back hard and laughed with delight. “I am here to serve you, Alpha Chad,” Maverick said, making me laugh.
“Then it’s settled! We have our new ranked members of Golden Moon!” Richard bellowed in his Alpha tone.
“A fine trio of young men to take our places,” Jackson said with a nod.
“I couldn’t agree more. Now you too can finally join me in retirement,” Jasper said to Richard and Jackson, making us all smile and laugh.
“How is that none of us had, boys?” Jackson asked.
“Don’t know, don’t care. I love my girls, and they’re serving their roles just fine at their packs. My life has come full circle,” Jasper answered, and Richard just nodded.
I wanted to give this time to Maverick so he could fully enjoy his new promotion to a ranked werewolf. Whatever we did in our lives to deserve this kind of blessing, none of us knew, but we’re not going to take it for granted. Especially me. I was dealt a pretty shitty hand when I met Terrine and was rejected via hotel notepad, and the only good thing to come out of that messed-up mate bond was Killian. Now, whatever the moon goddess wanted of me, she’s mated me with Lanie. Her own daughter.
I already knew what my first order of business as the new Alpha of Golden Moon was going to be. Well, more like my second order of business. The first would be to get Maverick caught up on everything and to make sure he knew how important Lanie and Lexie were. I had no doubt in my mind that he would do whatever it took to protect them. Maverick was a big guy, and scary when he was in fight mode. He was 6’5 and 275 pounds of solid muscle. The women in the pack loved him and called him chocolate thunder. Having him as Gamma was a no-brainer in my mind.
As soon as Brent and I got him up to speed, our first order of business as the new leaders of this pack would be to find a way to bring down Marvin Archimedes and find a way to find Jennifer of Black Moon and return her safely to Xavier. I was going to have to work closely with Alpha Wyatt of Blue Lake, especially now that I was in charge of keeping his Luna and his son safe. Though something told me that the Luna didn’t really need any protection. ***Unknown P.O.V.***
“Please, please don’t hurt me,” the human beneath me begged for her life.
“Hurt you, I’m not going to hurt you,” I responded. I saw the glimmer of hope in her eyes. Just like they all did when I said that. It made taking that hope away even better when I said, “I’m going to kill you.” I laughed as I released my tail of knives. “Oh my god, what are you!?” she shouted as she struggled to break away from my grip. She was no match for me.
“Me? Oh, I’m just an average nine-tailed fox,” I responded as I wagged my tail in all directions trying to decide which blade to kill this human with.
“Please, no, please, I’m pregnant.”
“Oh, two for the price of one. Very nice.” Her eyes widened in fear as I made my selection and cut her multiple times while avoiding any major arteries. The last thing I wanted for her was to die too quickly. That would be no fun. I took my time with her, as I did all of my victims. She was victim number 12, and her unborn, lucky number 13.
When I was done with her, I left her sprawled out on the floor of her apartment as I did all of my prior victims. I put my tail away, cleaned up, and went up to the rooftop of the building, and leaped across to the other side. When I landed, I was met with a group of unknown men.
“You’ve been busy, Mr. Fox.”
“Who are you?” I asked the unknown man.
“My name is not important but you, my dear specimen, are very important.”
“Specimen?! What the f**k?”
“Boys make sure you don’t damage that tail of his. That is where this one is going to make us a lot of money.”
“Yes, sir!!” the crowd of men shouted. I turned to leap back to the other building but was met with another group. Who were these men? Some were supernatural, some weren’t. Some were human. How did they know I was a fox? How did they know about my tail? I looked for an escape, but there was none. I looked back at the unknown man who spoke to me.
“WHO ARE YOU!?” I shouted.
“Me? Just someone hired to snag you so we can make millions,” he replied and laughed maniacally. I took out my tail and started to s***h at the men. At this rate, I didn’t care if I was caught by human authorities. I was not going to become some stuffed fox for this guy to hang up in his living room.
“GET HIM!” the man shouted at his goons. I slashed one, but he recovered, and then I felt a whip around my leg. I was brought down and face-planted the floor. Just then, they all piled on top of me, and I felt my tail being tied against my body so I couldn’t control it. I felt a jab in my neck, and my vision started to blur. “What is this thing?” I heard someone ask as my consciousness went back and forth.
“This, Diego, is what the boss calls a nine-tailed werefox. He says that it’s a rare breed and that he’s been after him for months. He said he got a tip on his whereabouts from a friend at Interpol in Luxembourg. Apparently, he was also being hunted by bounty hunters for human authorities. We needed to get to him before they did.” My eyes started to close as I felt my head spinning. “Bag him and tag him, boys. We need to get him stateside ASAP.”
“Yes, Bane!”
“Nighty night Mr. Fox,” was the last thing I heard before everything went dark.
***Third person P.O.V.***
They watched from afar as the werefox they had been after for the last two weeks was captured so easily. Whoever this group was, they were stunned at how efficient they were taking down a powerful adversary such as the nine-tailed fox. “Holy s**t did you guys see that!?” Jedediah, a team member exclaimed after he saw what just happened.
“Amos, what are we going to do?”
“I don’t know, Amy, but we need to report this back to the boss,” Amos replied.
“Amos, I think those men are traffickers. The one who was in charge just now said that the fox would be worth millions,” Albert, one of Amos’ team members, said. “Albert,” Amos said to him.
“Sir?”
“I want you to take team one and follow these guys. Figure out where their base of operations is. If they’re trafficking the supernatural, we need to stop them.”
“Wait, why do we care what happens to this guy?” Jedediah asked in utter confusion. “We’ve been tracking this guy for two weeks. Even the bounty hunters Dorian sent couldn’t catch this guy. If this is about the bounty …”
“Jed, this has nothing to do with the bounty. The boss could care less about the money. He has a f*****g endless supply of money,” Amy said as she smacked Jedediah upside the head.
