The Wolf Who Saved Me

While at the White Pack territory..

“Where the hell is Casper? Has he not returned yet?” Conri yelled who was facing back at forth.

“Alpha, he just arrived,” Edison replied.

“Ask him to come, and I want to know what updates he has.”

Edison nodded, and after five minutes, Casper came.

“Alpha, Conri, you asked for me?” Casper asked.

“You already know why I would ask for you. Have you been successful in finding her?”

“Not yet, but…”

Conri roared and did not let Casper finish what he was about to say.

“What have you been doing this time? Are you just traveling for enjoyment?”

“No, Alpha.”

“Why have you not found her? She is almost like a human not a match to you. How hard could that be?”

“As I said before, Alpha Conri, someone helped Wren escape. I think he is hiding Wren; that’s why we have not found her.”

“But you were there on the scene; how could you not know who it was?”

“My apologies, Alpha. I really could not remember his face. He was fast and strong. I was not able to look at his face closely.”

“So, what have you been doing all this time? You are rarely home, and I thought you had been searching for her.”

“We weren’t successful in finding her on places where we got a tip that someone had seen her there. But I managed to talk to the Alpha of the Blue Pack.”

“What about them? Are they the ones hiding that bitch?”

“No, but he agreed to help. We struck a deal.”

“A deal? What are you talking about?”

“The Blue Pack needs financial help to support the growing needs of the pack. They are the newest pack in the state, and none came from a wealthy family. They only rely on producing and selling timber. The Alpha knows Wren; she used to have a relationship with one of the warriors named Caleb. I think you remember him.”

“Hmm.. Yeah, Caleb used to pick up Wren at school. But you have not told me about the agreement was.”

“Well, the agreement is for them to sneak into the territories which we don’t want to trespass. All they have to do is confirm whether Wren is inside of those territories.”

“In return, how much would they need?”

“A hundred thousand dollars.”

“What!? Are you crazy we will have to give out a quarter of our earnings?”

“Yes, it’s a lot of money, but the pack’s business is doing well. We could gain that back. It’s the only way to check territories like the forest of the Gray Pack without them knowing.”

“But what if Wren is not in those areas?”

“It’s just an option that I think we should take if we want to find Wren.”

“If you weren’t that incompetent, we should not result to such measure just to find a she-wolf!”

Casper bowed his head out of embarrassment and said, “But I have a strong feeling that Wren is inside one of those territories, especially the forest owned by the Gray Pack.”

“You better be sure of that, Casper, or I would demote you into a warrior. The Black Pack are getting impatient. Acwulf already did a surprise visit here asking for Wren. She must be found right away. Who knows when he would come back.”

“I will make a phone call to confirm the agreement, and they promised that they would do it in two days.”

Conri sighed and said, “Okay, now get out before I lose my patience with you.”

Casper walked out of Conri’s room angrily, leaving Conri murmuring something to himself.

“What’s with Wren? I still don’t understand! Why the hell does this Black Pack want her? Why can’t they look for her themselves?”

He went to the kitchen first, grabbing a can of beer. Then, head to his room to make the call.

“Hello, Henry!” Casper said.

“So, Casper, what’s going to be?” Henry asked.

“Are you sure that you would be able to do that in two days?”

“I already sent one of my warriors to test. The Gray Pack are doing an evening run all the time, checking their territories. He almost got caught, so it would not be that easy but could be done. However, since my warrior would be risking his life, the payment should be doubled. Half you can make as a deposit, and it’s non-refundable. It is the payment for my warrior to keep his mouth shut in case he gets caught. And the other half can be paid when the assignment is done.”

“What!? Are you crazy? I have already told our Alpha of the previous amount you told me. You must honor that.”

“No! Otherwise, look for a lone wolf who is going to be willing to take a risk. I would not make let one of my men die for a small amount of money.”

“Small? That was already a quarter of what our pack is earning.”

“We are trespassing the Gray Pack territory, Alpha Reule’s pack. Do you understand what that means? My pack could be wiped out, and I could be killed. I would not take anything lower. So, take it or leave it.”

Casper sighed and said, “Let me discuss this with Alpha Conri once again. I will call you tomorrow.”

“Sure! You better make a decision fast. That she-wolf would not stay long in one pack. Who knows, she might have moved already.”

“Okay, just let me discuss this with my Alpha.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Casper almost throws the phone after ending the call.

“Greedy and opportunist!”

Then, he took a deep breath and another sip of the cold beer to calm himself. Casper looked at the time. It’s nearly midnight.

“She must be done for her chores today.”

Casper called one of the omegas who worked as a cleaning lady of the pack. He needed some fun after a stressful and failed search.

“I have enough of yelling and stress for today. I will talk to Conri tomorrow. I have searched for that bitch Wren, and I could not find her. I needed to destress myself. The Black Pack can wait for that bitch!”
