Rise of the She-Wolf

Colin his pov,

It had been days since Vanessa fled from Colin’s property. He smothered himself in business trying not to think about her. He had to make it up to her but did not know how. Today was not the day to think about Vanessa though. He had an important meeting planned with a potential new ally. If he could make a deal with them, it would double his pack’s income. He could finally invest in new businesses to get the poor people in his territory jobs.

Alpha Vlad was the leader of not only the biggest pack but also the most dangerous one. Everyone knew not to mess with the Russian werewolves. But if you had them on your side no one would ever dare to stand in your way again. Colin lit one last cigarette before he entered his private plane. Normally he would take some of his brothers and sisters with him on a trip but this time it was too dangerous. You never knew what alpha Vlad had planned. Colin had heard of many visitors that never returned home. If that was his fate, he wanted to be sure none of his siblings shared it. He left instructions in case he died about his succession. But hopefully, it wouldn’t come to that, and he would return stronger and richer.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He landed in Russia many hours later and freezing cold air greeted him as he stepped onto the snow. His leather shoes sunk deep into the snow, leaving a wet trail on his pants. A group of men dressed in furs, armed with heavy guns was waiting for him. They looked at his clothes and laughed at each other, but Colin pretended he wasn’t bothered by the cold.

He lit another cigarette and scanned the men slowly. He blew out some smoke and met their stare. “You! Come with us,” a big, bearded man barked.

Colin stayed calm when they forcefully shoved him into an Aurus Senat. No one spoke a word while they drove through the snowy landscape. Colin’s hands became a bit sweaty when they drove through a big electric gate and fence. The fence surrounded a big black building that looked like a massive bunker. It definitely was not beautiful and mostly reminded him of a prison. The mood felt grim when they unloaded him from the car and brought him inside the building. Everywhere Colin looked there were heavily loaded men standing watch. The endless hallways made it hard for him to remember a path. If he had to escape, he would definitely get lost. Eventually, they brought him to a room filled with hand-carved wooden furniture. The ceilings were filled with the most beautiful paintings and in the center of the room was the biggest fireplace Colin had ever seen. Looks can be deceiving definitely applied to the outside of this building. Colin looked up when he saw a small muscular man approach. He had long blond hair and an equally long beard, but his eyes were piercing blue with coldness and cruelty hidden in them. Colin knew just by the eyes that this must be alpha Vlad.

Vlad smiled broadly and clapped him on the shoulder, but his smile did not reach his eyes, “Colin. Welcome, welcome. I have heard so much about you. I have to say I am impressed with how fast you have grown your territory.”

Colin shook his hand, “Those are kind words coming from the master of expansion.”

Vlad his laughter echoed through the large room and the sat down at the head of the table. He pointed at the chair next to him and said, “Sit down. Eat with me.”

Colin sat down and tried not to puke from the sharp smells that drifted from the food on the table. He filled his plate with some red-looking soup and looked at Vlad who was devouring a pig’s feet. Fat dripped down his beard while he chewed loudly. Vlad burped and said, “So Colin. Let’s get straight to the point. I am impressed by the way you do business. You have gotten my attention, so I am proposing an alliance to strengthen the world of men once more.”

“Our packs together would certainly be a force to reckon with,” Colin replied.

Vlad’s mood suddenly changed to blazing anger, his face turned red and he threw his knife at the wall. Colin stared at the painting of a naked woman who now had a knife in her head with wide eyes. Vlad stood up and slammed his fist on the table, “EXACTLY AND WE NEED TO SHOW THE WORLD AGAIN THAT ONLY MEN SHOULD HOLD POWER.”

Colin had no idea what to do with these sudden mood swings when Vlad sat down again now completely calm. “You must have heard about these 2 women taking over the American packs. It’s a disgrace. It simply cannot stand. But don’t worry I took care of that problem.”

Colin’s blood went cold and he asked, “How do you mean you took care of it?”

Vlad smiled vilely, “We both know women cannot rule. Let’s say I send someone to put them out of their misery.”

Colin his throat went dry as his heart started beating rapidly from fear. He scraped his throat and faked a smile, “All this soup filled my bladder. Do you have a toilet?”

Vlad pointed to the door, “First door to the left in the hallway.”

Colin stood up and tried to keep his hands from trembling when he walked to the door. He tried to walk confidently and calmly into the toilet before locking the door. His hands were trembling when he took out his phone and dialed his brother’s number.

“Oi Colin, everything alright mate?” Robin answered.

Colin lowered his voice, “Listen to me carefully. Vanessa her life is in danger. You, Donny, and Gary need to find her and bring her to our home safely. Use any means necessary. There is no time to waste go immediately!”

Robin hung up the phone immediately and Colin threw some water on his face to calm his nerves. He breathed in deeply before straightening his posture and walking back to Vlad. He opened the door loudly and jolted, “Oi that relieved some pressure. So where were we?”
