Episode 5: Meeting Stephan

Iris POV

I followed Cara's advices and after four nights of galloping I was finally there.

The once empty snowy land was now covered with a breathtaking manor and a large forest appeared into view. I gasped at the beauty and warmth that emanated from the overall picture, it almost feeled like home.

Key word "almost".

I was still way too far from the manor to be noticed when I felt someone approaching me from behind. I looked back and watched the three wolves that were ready to launch anytime soon, I jumped at the golden opportunity and shouted immediately :

"-Wait, I mean no harm I just want to see your leader " I said hastily but they didn't seem convinced so I added :

"I know that you're Rogues and that you plan on forming a pack. "

The three wolves ears perked up in slight interest still staring at my eyes as I elaborated:

" If you kill me now, you will never know what the other packs have ready for you. "

I sealed my speach with a final sentence , " I want to see your leader, now. "

I almost forgot that my 15 year old body wasn't helping in projecting the power and dominance I wanted it to, however the first wolf moved forwards to the manor as the two others were behind me.

I hustled on my horse following the three rogues. A few minutes later, I attached my horse to a cabine handle behind the house and followed the ***** three wolves who had attached my wrists behind my back and pushed me to their " Alpha"s office.

The man was clearily in his early twenties, a blonde youngster with green entrancing eyes. The two guards at my left and right both squeezed on my arms displaying more savagery. Men.

"- Alpha, we found her on the borders lurking in the shadows, she says she has some information about a close rebellion " the one at my right arm stated. I gasped and shot back immediately :

"-Okay first, I wasn't lurking, I was looking at the manor and second I wasn't hiding in the shadows cuz there was only me, my horse and the snow below us, nothing else to hide behind or under !" pure exasperation dripped from my voice but I owed it to Alpha Asher, he never liked stating the obvious nor the stupid.

Both guards growled at me and started searching for any weapons on me:

"- You should've done that earlier before I entered your leader's office, stupid mob heads" I muttered but from their Alpha's reaction I could tell he was slightly amused with the situation as he flexed his arms behind and rested his head on them.

I raised an eyebrow at him, universal body language for "seriously?!".

One of the douche bags ordered me to shut up whereas the other one said: She's clear Alpha, wait no she's not. He got out three daggers hidden around my legs.

I had managed to get rid of the additional weapons. He was about to throw them at the alpha when I shouted:

"- They're soaked in Silver don't touch them", the Alpha seemed aware but didn't utter a word.

The other mobhead declared:

" Alpha, she was planning on murdering you, shall I put her in the dungeons for questioning? "

I sneered back at him immediately :

"I've traveled all on my own for the last weeks and you expect me, a human, to go out into the wild with no weapons to defend myself? ".

Stunned, he just said what he says best :"Shut up! "

I turned to their Alpha that was staring at my orange blue eyes and inquired:

" Are the rest of your so called fearful pack like these two cuz I prefer to go back on my steps if that's the case "

I said calmly but fiercly.

For the first time the leader dared to say something which was practically three letters:

"Out "

The two guards replied automatically " Yes Alpha" and held me up til my feet could no longer touch the ground, as the two were ready to take me out a voice calmly added:

"Not her, You".

The two mobheads seemed shoked at first nevertheless they got out after 5 seconds.

I sighed and sat dowm on the left seat while my hands felt uncomfortably wanting to break out of unwanted submission.

"- I've been waiting for you, but I hadn't expected such a young girl I must admit ", my eyebrow perked in interest as three weighed letters came out of my mouth: " How? "

he chuckled and replied :

" Patrol guards said two days ago that a young girl on her horse was approaching the base, i'm glad I decided not to kill you right on the spot, I happen to like your sense of humor." He gestured with his three fingers in the air and it made him look so classy.

I oppresed the smile that was about to lighten my pale face and said:

"-Let's get staright to business shall we?" I had literally engulfed myself in Alpha Asher's personality and wished that I had even half the effect he had on his listeners:

"We shall " said the Alpha with a grin plastered on his face, the old me would have thought he wasn't that hard to eliminate but after I had met Cara, I knew right then that behind his nonchalant fake personality layed a calculative and manipulative rogue. It was all so clear to me.

"- The pack that I came from knows that you intend on expanding your newly pack formed by rogues and the Alpha didn't quite like that.

I will tell you their plan of destroying your pack in exchange for a place and protection in here. I am just a human and I want to be a part of your growing pack. "

The smile that was once plastered on his face vanished and soon he started taking off his mask:

"-Why should I believe you ? " he sternly asked.

"-You should, but if you don't want to, I know you won't live to hear me say I told you so "

Enhanced in acting like Alpha Asher, I prayed deep down that my plan doesn't fail.

He seemed to study my face for any sign of weakness or lies but I put on my own mask of indifference that I knew was effective in many ways.

"-What's the name of your old pack? ",

"you seriously think I will tell you that? , I wanna live so I have to ensure a second home if you don't accept me in yours. "

"-And why do you want to leave your pack ? " he inquired.

I shrugged and bitterly answered :

" They all think I am some weak pathetic human, they don't see my potential and definitely don't consider me as one of them. I've always been the intruder "

Those words were not completely lies...

I still felt misplaced among them everytime they beat my *** or remind me the fact that i'm the last in the power chain. Seemed like the Alpha sensed the truth in my words :

"-So, were I to give you a place among us, you will tell me their plan of destroying my growing pack, that if they have one of course..."

"- I see that you need proof, and I will give it to you, untie me. " And that he did, I placed my hand in my bra and got a seruingue out.

" Give me a wolf that you don't mind dying", after a few seconds he mindlinked someone to get the cobay. Soon enough, a guard came in with a chained wolf.

The Alpha signaled me to take my next step when I planted the seruingue in the prisoners shoulder. As the poisonous liquid settled down in his veins, he gasped for air til blood started beaming out of his eyes, nose and ears before he let out out a squeal. The dead corpse now laid on the floor.

The Alpha clearly showed his surprise soon followed by fear when his gaze found mine begging unconsciously for an explanation :

"-This is a poisonous formula that can take down a wolf in exactly 20 seconds. The formula is made by the pack scientist who is my father.

I managed to get this sample while they're still producing more, enough for your pack "

I could see the evident fear and anger in his eyes and I snatched the opportunity to play my cards:

"-Imagine what will happen if this poison is your downfall once you attack the pack, they will take you rogues down and take this territory that you already claimed. Admit it or not, you need me Alpha., as much as I need you.

The only words that managed to get through his gritted teeth were: "How can you help? "

Bingo

"- I've been by the side of my father when he elaborated the formula and I think I can create an antidote. I'm sure I can, I'm the daughter of a chief head scientist after all,"

Way to go self-confidence ! I thought to myself, Blake always called me a genius when it came to science and the years spent by the side of the pack scientist since my childhood played a major part in it.

"- I can just summon a scientist, why do I need you? " shit, i mentally commented.

"-That would be the stupidest thing ever, as I said my dad is the head chief of the best alchemists, word will spread and even if your secret key swears secrecy he won't be able to hack my father's equation cuz he doesn't know the process taken, I've been with my father when he elaborated the equation and all I will tell you is that it's nearly impossible to outdo it. "

He seemed to bitterly analyze my words whem he finally decided what to do. He called a guard and ordered him:

"Take her to the dungeons. "
