Chapter 17: Chapter seventeen - I'm fucked

[MARIE]

I finally came back to my packhouse to find it oddly quiet.

Usually, stupid, annoying pups were running around everywhere, and I had to yell at them. Wait, why the hell my living room isn't full of decorations for my party?

"Ren, you useless pig, come downstairs!" I yelled out of the top of my lungs.

Silence.

Strange, usually, she always listens to me. I'm an Alpha female, after all. Rushed steps came from the library. Soon the door was banged open, and the gayest faggot ever stood in front of me.

"Ew, suddenly everything here reeks of dicks," I said and smiled at my joke. Damn, I'm so funny.

"That's what I thought! Funny, it smelled of vanilla here before you arrived," he smirked at me.

"You're such an idiot, Nathaniel," I said as my cheeks became deep red.

"I'm a pretty genius persona since you tried to offend me, yet I was able to make fun out of you, using your tasteless joke."

"Where's Ren?" I had to change the topic before he starts laughing.

"Gone," he shrugged his shoulders and looked around.

"Gone as where? She has no right to leave pack territory without my approval, and she knows that better than anyone else. Oh, wait till I get my hands on that brat," I spoke in anger.

"Umm, you might want to think about what you just said, oh Queen Marie," gay dude spoke again.

"Yeah? And whys that?" I hissed at him.

"Well, maybe because Rens mate found her and took her away?" he smiled at me. I could quickly tell that he wasn't happy about Ren leaving, yet he was more than happy to get on my nerves.

"As I care, let the fucking mutt pack know that we're going for our damn pack member even if it means war," I yelled. It's about time for me to show everyone their real places.

"Oh, so you're about to start a war, right?" his smile grew bigger. Something seems off. Why is he so happy about this?

"Yes, get my Beta here! Now!" I ordered.

Suddenly he started laughing as crazy. In a matter of seconds, he was on the floor, rolling all over it, barely able to breathe.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I asked, not trying to hide my confusion by now.

"Well, I have bad news and even worse news. What's first?" Nate spoke as he tried to regain his breath and stand up.

"Oh fuck this, let's start with the bad news then," I sighed and sat down on the couch behind me.

Nathaniel sat next to me and kept observing my facial expression.

"What?" I hissed at him. This man is seriously irritating.

He's way too annoying for being gay. How could the Hell Ren put up with him for so damn long? Mystery.

"So the bad news. Your Beta left your pack," he said casually.

"What?" I yelled.

"Well, you see... Beta Zane had an agreement with your father," he started talking as I cut him off.

"Wait, wait, wait! How do you know this?"

"Beta Zane told me everything. Anyway, as I was saying, he had an agreement to keep his daughter safe. Raven - known as Ren. It turns out they look the same because they are blood-related. ANYWAY, soon after Raven found her mate, Zane decided to leave for his old pack. It turns out his rank is not a beta, it's Alpha. So, my dear Marie, the bad news is that you had the one and only Alpha Snow under your roof, and you fucking disrespected his kid." he smiled viciously.

"Ha, as I care," I tried to keep myself as calm as possible.

"You will care. You see, first of all, you killed your father, which was his best friend. Then you treated his blood and flesh like a piece of crap. Damn, I forgot to tell you the funniest part. He is THE Alpha Snow from Blood warrior pack. Must have heard about it, everyone knows who are they and how heartless their warriors are," he looked up in the ceiling, absolutely not bothered by the words he was saying.

"What's the, as you say, worse news?" I whispered.

"I'm not done with the bad news yet. Your ex Beta is starting a war. You have 30 days to decide will your pack fight or give in, because one way or another, he's taking the land, property, and people."

I sighed and tried to process the information.

All this just in the "bad news." I'm afraid to ask what might be even worse.

"Are you ready for the worse news?" Nathaniel asked.

I nodded my head and looked down at my lap. How the fuck can he be so happy in a situation as such?

"You just said that you're about to announce war with Rens mates pack, right?" Ugh, such a nerve, still nagging me.

"Yes."

"Well, you better prepare your freaking dumbhead, because I have no idea who's about to help you. You're a damn coward, and I'm leaving your stinky pack anyway. You suck at fashion and always reek of wet dog. Oh and also, you're going against Valentino's pack, because bad luck honey, Rens mate is no-one else than fucking Alpha Azrael Valentino himself," he yelled the last words in anger and left the living room.

I sank deeper into the couch, taking a deep breath.

"I'm fucked," I whispered and closed my eyes.
