Chapter 04 Dark forest and friend Mike

“Good morningMaggie!” “Good morning Mike!” This is a normal meeting day for us, but what unexpected is that our Alpha John also joined in our meeting. There must be some important meeting or announcement in our pack. “Good morning everyone, I guess some of you already heard that there a group of ferocious rogues who entered into the darn forests in north part of our territory,” the Alpha John announced seriously, “These brutal mobs also committed unforgivable crime as killing several young werewolves in our north part. So, we need to act now, assemble a group of warriors to bring the killers to justice. Therefore, I announced that Beta Mike Colin to be charge of the special action group, and Alfonzo, Killian,Maggie, Nico, Yolanda are members to assist Mike, to destroy the brutal mobs.” “Yes, your majesty the Alpha”, we answered respectfully. “We will fight with those cruel rogues, are you afraid?” The commander Mike asked me provocatively. “Nope, and I will let the murderer know what is fear and despair.” I replied with confidence. I have been trained by experts for years, and our Alpha John also taught me some tips for fight. “Good girl!” Mike smiled at me with a wink and hold my hands. Being alone for so many years, this is first time my hands are held by a young man in Black Claw Pack, my expression became unnatural and pulled back my hand promptly. I have known Mike since the first day I joined in Black Claw Pack, but we don’t have many opportunities to cooperate. As the Beta of Black Claw Pack, he always keeps distant to girls in pack, including me. As a new member of Black Claw Pack, I spend most of my time to training. “But I know the Beta Mike hasn’t find out his mate. “My wolf Irma joke at me. “All members will start to north part tomorrow; and I wish you all a triumphant return!” Alpha John’s wishes close the meeting and save me from embarrassments. *** This morning we all get up very early, and we will drive three cars to the dark forests of north part. Alfonzo and Killian drive one car for they are brothers, Nico and Yolanda drive one car for they are mates, I and Mike drive one car, and I don’t know for what, friendship? “What a good opportunity to stay along with the Beta!” My wolf Irma seems to enjoy joking at me and Mike. “Hi Irma, you know I won’t have a relationship with Mike. I don’t think this is funny.” I reply with embarrassments, and I refuse to think about the bad memories about mates. “All group members must be careful, and Mike you can call me at any time to updating your status.” The Alpha John Black ordered. “Lillian, you know how to mind link me when necessary. Take care of yourself and don’t let me disappoint.” The honorable Alpha linked to my mind. His care makes me feel warm and I tried not to show my feelings and linked, “Yes sir!” Then our cars set off along the wide road. After a few hours’ drive, the road is not as wide as the beginning, and the winding county road pointed to a Hotel at the foot of mountain. “It’s dinner time, let’s eat and rest at the Hotel.” Commander Mike said. “And we will arrive at our destination tomorrow.” Not too far from the center of our territory, the modern hotel includes restaurants, accommodation department and a bar. After a simple dinner, we enter into our rooms, rooms are five: Mine room and Mike’s room next to each other. Usually when I am alone, I’d like to reading books with my wolf Irma stay with me, but this is an official travel I don’t bring books. Therefore, I decide to spend the few hours before sleeping into the wine bar, which I haven’t visit since I joined the Black Claw Pack. “A cup of Zombie!” I asked the waitress in the bar. I like the rum aroma and some wines can help me to sleep deep today. “A cup of Zombie too!” I and Irma are surprised a pleasant man’s voice and we find that Mike followed us entering into this bar, he says,” Nothing is better than drink when you are alone.” “Commander Mike, it’s so glad to drink with you.” I say politely. “Me too!” Mike sat near me and hold one of my hands again, I took a sip of wine to hide my shyness but don’t pull back my hand this time. He added, “Some wine also can help your bravery.Maggie, you joined in our pack for almost two years, right?” “Yes Mike, why you asked that?” I ask him. My wolf Irma realize something and keep silent. “I heard about some of your brave behaviors in training or other actions, but we haven’t worked together before. This time our duty should not be very easy and we’d better know each other well as team members. I know the Alpha John like you and said you are smart and brave.” Mike answers reasonably. “John is very kind to me; I have a quiet and happy life in Black Claw Pack under his protection.” I said with respect. “You’re an orphan as I remember, and you are old enough to find a mate why are you single? “His question is too hurtful to answer, I think Irma must be laugh at that time, a man asked me such a question with one of my hand in his hand. He explained, “Our mission is difficult, and 5 of us has family members, but you don’t. I can protect you like a mate for I am single too.” “You’re also good at joking.” I replied with laugh and withdraw my hand this time, and the word “Mate” heard so strange, ridiculous and ruthless to me. I drunk a large glass of wine in one go. “Anyway, I can protect you if you are in danger, and we can start from friends. How about bottom up for our friendship?” Mike said cunningly. From what he said I have known more about his character: He is not a Beta who always refused girls, he is not an annoying hypocrite, he is naughty but also warm, and maybe we can really become friends. “He is a good guy,” my wolf Irma whispered. We both had several glasses of wine and return our respective rooms. This night in bar is not ending by someone’s completely drunken, and is also not romantic, but there are some emotions growing like flames in my heart. The next day’s afternoon we finally reach the dark forests. Shortly before dust, we pitch our tent and settle down on the black fringe of the forest. “Nico and Yolanda stay in the tent as our back up, Alfonzo, Killian and I as hunters will patrol near the forest.Maggie, you go before our hunters as a bait.” Commander Mike assigned tasks to every member. “I think he like or love you, but maybe I misunderstand him.” Irma my wolf seems angry for what Mike assigned.” Take care of yourselfMaggie, if you find anything dangerous please shift and let me control!” “Okay and don’t worry.” I replied and started to doubt the so-called “friendship” from Mike’s mouth. However, I was still very confident about my fighting ability,” It’s too early to say who are hunters!” The twilight merged into darkness, and I walked alone on the narrow forest path. “What a beautiful female rogue! Are you lost in the dark forest, my sweet heart?” Finally, some rogues found me in the darkness. “No, I am just on my way to visit my friends.” “Really? Why don’t you just come with us? We will give you a good time.” One rogue come up to me with a lascivious smile. “No, thanks.” I tookseveral steps back but not escape. “Hi Simon, we find a beauty this time. What a pity that we have to kill her! Let’s take turns fucking her for fun!” The rogue shouted to his companion with a smirk. Not only his companion Simon, and more rogues heard what he said and surrounded me. “Run,Maggie! Alfonzo, Killian，it’s hunters’ show time!”Mike’s sonorous voices pierces the darkness. Mike grabbed one rogue’s hand, lift him up and throw him onto the ground heavily, we all heard the sound of broken bones and the rogue’s painful cry. Under his leadership, Alfonzo and Killian both are very heroic in killing the rogues. Only half hours, there are the dead bodies of 7 or 8 rogues on the ground and I also killed one. “My friendMaggie, you are braver than I thought.” Mike came to me and gave me a five, “Happy cooperation!” When our group returned to center area of our territory, our team is commended by the Alpha John.
