Chapter 8 The Beast Cycle

  • Jack’s POV
  • This damn brat! He was a year younger and the way he was bossing me around pissed me off.
  • What was he even saying? I did not CARE about a fucking human slave!
  • Although I must admit, Eloisa seemed different from other humans I’ve met so far. I didn’t feel anything when I saw her, but when we had physical contact, my wolf reacted. It was as if her touch had some magic that made my wolf crazy and go wild at the same time.
  • I couldn’t help reacting to the sudden sensation filling my body when we touched. She might be able to help me through tonight, but the fact that she was human still bothered me.
  • “Did you actually offer her as a sacrifice?” I sneered, shaking my head. “If you want her for yourself, why not keep her while she’s still warm and breathing? ‘Cause I can’t guarantee she’d be alive until the sunrise.”
  • Dustin grinned—that annoying grin of his, making me want to peel off his face with bare hands. “She’s interesting so I want to keep her. But she has to prove herself useful. You should be grateful that I’m letting you have her first.”
  • “Psycho,” I commented, feeling sorry for Eloisa even though she was a human. “Whatever. I might change my mind and end up enduring the pain throughout the night.”
  • “It doesn’t matter,” Dustin shrugged. “I’ve already given her the order. If you refuse to do something, she’ll take care of it for you. After all, her life depends on it.”
  • Sick… The tradition where the Alpha loses his purity when turning 22 was just sick! It shouldn’t matter if it was with one’s mate, but to sleep with random human slaves… It was disgusting!
  • A soft knock ruined the heavy atmosphere in the room. Another annoying man—Spade Winter, walked in. His casual smile pissed me off, especially knowing what exactly was going on in his mind.
  • “She’s cute, Jack. If I had a chance, I’d want a taste of her too. Sadly, someone wouldn’t allow me,” Spade commented.
  • He was interested in that human slave too? But knowing Spade, he was interested in every woman. I wouldn’t be surprised if he said he’d already slept with 99% of women in his territory. The remaining 1% should be composed of older women and younger girls. The man never missed as long as the woman he met was of age and willing to spread her legs to him. Another shame among the rulers of the noble werewolf race!
  • “Piss off,” Dustin grumbled, his eyebrows furrowed. “Don’t try anything funny, Spade Winter. That woman is off limits. I’m only letting Jack have her for special reasons.”
  • Spade and I exchanged confused gazes. Perhaps it was because Dustin was still young, but who would allow someone else to have the woman he was interested in?
  • There was no doubt he was into that slave…
  • I paused when I noticed something. That human slave… Dustin brought her here so she should be from the Southwest. That shouldn’t be that woman. No… The woman that night smelled a bit different.
  • “Fine. I won’t try anything. So you better convince this guy to do what he has to,” Spade said, raising his hands. “You don’t have other choices, Jack. If you want to continue your ruling, do something about your condition. Sleeping with a human isn’t that bad. They’re way better than female werewolves.”
  • “Enough,” I growled, glaring at the two. “I’ll decide on what to do!”
  • I looked outside through the glass window and sighed. A few hours later, I’d be dealing with the beast in me. I clenched my fists and headed for the door. “I want to be alone. Don’t come looking for me,” I told them and left for the bedroom.
  • “There should be a way to fix this without resorting to such a lowly method,” I said, drawing in the curtains in my room. If I avoided the moonlight, I might be able to resist the desire to mate.
  • “There’s no way I’ll do it with that human. She’s just like everyone else—Ugh!” I clutched my chest when a sudden pain shot through me, forcing me to stagger backward. The burning sensation seared through my veins, making it impossible for me to breathe.
  • “N-No way… Is it starting? But the sun has yet to set,” I groaned, my knees buckled, and I collapsed to the floor, gasping for air.
  • I was close to my death before I could manage to call for help through the mind link, Spade and Dustin hurried to my room, shock written all over their faces.
  • “Jack! What’s happening?” Dustin demanded, his voice laced with urgency.
  • This brat… Was he trying to question me in my condition?
  • “I… I don’t know,” I managed to choke out between breaths. The pain was overwhelming, clouding my thoughts and other senses. It felt as though my soul was being ripped apart.
  • Spade’s eyes widened in realization. “He’s entering the beast cycle! We need to call that woman before he completely loses control!”
  • Damn! In the end, I couldn’t do anything to change my fate.
  • The two of them helped me to the bed. The idea of sleeping with a human slave other than my mate made the pain even worse.
  • “No,” Dustin firmly refused. “Eloisa isn’t ready yet. If he needs a woman right away, we can bring in another slave,” he suggested.
  • “I’ll go get some slaves,” Spade said, turning around, but before he could take a step, I grabbed him tightly.
  • “N-Not a human slave,” I huffed, sweat dripping all over my body. It felt so hot I wanted to go wild and destroy everything.
  • Spade chucked. “Sorry not sorry, but you won’t even know if it’s a human or not once your desire kicks in,” he said, shaking his head. “Dustin, let’s get out of here before he thinks we’re his mate,” Spade joked and pulled Dustin away from me.
  • The door closed and the pain thoroughly spread throughout my body. I curled up on the bed, cursing myself for thinking of something inappropriate, trying to fight the urges that flooded my body.
  • Suddenly, the door opened and a sweet scent filled my nostrils. I heard footsteps behind me, so I turned to see who it was. My eyes widened when I saw a woman I had never met, standing before me.
  • “I… I’m here to serve the Alpha—”
  • “Get out!” I screamed, pointing at the door. “Hurry if you don’t want to die,” I threatened.
  • “Jack! What are you doing? Just stop thinking and do it!” Spade’s voice rang in my ears, but I could barely comprehend what he was trying to say.
  • The door kept opening and closing, and one by one, women entered my room. My senses were heightened, and I could feel their presence, but none of them sparked the connection I needed. I couldn’t even bear to be in the same room with any of them.
  • Everything around me turned red, my body turning hotter every second, and no matter how much I tried to call myself down, the uncontrollable desire kept flooding through my veins.
  • “Damn it!” I huffed, feeling my pants getting tighter as my member hardened, swelling with lust, aching for pleasure.
  • I pulled my hair as I squirmed, holding back from the temptation surging within my body.
  • “Hah! I-It’s impossible,” I groaned, failing to contain my hunger for relief, my body looking for something… Someone rather.
  • My growls of pain and discontent echoed through the room, the beast inside me growing more restless at each passing moment. The women who came without my permission had to face my wrath, paying with their lives as my claws sliced through their flesh.
  • “I can’t take this anymore,” I snarled, desperate for salvation.
  • Finally, the door creaked open once more, and a woman stepped inside. Her familiar scent hit me like a bolt of lightning, cutting through the haze of pain and desire. She approached cautiously but was brave enough to face me even after what I’d done to others before her.
  • I opened my mouth, my throat running dry. “It’s you…” I whispered, seeking for the comfort she would offer me. “I know it’s you.”
