Falling For The Alpha King

Chapter 13

Bert who was chewing the food in his mouth immediately turned around and stopped chewing, he was

quite surprised to find a man who was pointing a gun at him. He put down the spoon he was originally

holding, then quickly swallowed the food that was still left in his mouth.

Then, he raised his hands above his head and asked the man to calm down.

“Sorry, I entered your house without your permission. I've tried knocking on your door several times, but

there's no answer from inside. But, when I tried to push the doorknob of your house down, it turned out

that your door was unlocked and I entered your house. The sweet smell of this apple pie led me into

the kitchen. If you don't mind, may I take shelter here temporarily while treating my wound?" Bert

replied trying to convince the old man.

The old man seemed to be deep in thought, trying to accept Bert's explanation into his logic.

"Then who are you and where are you from? Where did you get all those wounds from?” he asked

again.

Bert asked the old man for permission to take the glass of water in front of him, one hand pointing at

his throat, trying to tell the man he was thirsty. The old man nodded and invited Bert to drink.

"Thank you for allowing me to drink," said Bert as he reached for the glass in front of him and

immediately gulped down its contents.

After that, Bert put the empty glass back on the table, took a deep breath, and looked at the old man

with a serious look.

“Before I explain who I am and where I come from, can you put down your weapon? Can't you

recognize the wolf in me? Aren't you a werewolf too? Oh to be more precise, you are a lone wolf. Will

you sit across from me and we can talk casually without pointing a gun?” asked Bert as he took back

the spoon in front of him and shoved the food into his mouth.

For a moment, the man agreed and he slowly put down his gun and placed it on the kitchen table.

Then, he opened the cupboard containing alcoholic drinks and took a bottle of the drink, then a glass

which was located not far from in front of him and sat across from Bert.

While waiting for Bert's explanation, the old man poured an alcoholic drink into his glass, then held out

one hand to Bert and said, “John. What's your name?"

Bert took the outstretched hand and replied, “Bert. Umm, sorry to walk into your house without your

permission, and thanks for this apple pie. As for the reason why I am here and for what purpose, I will

begin to explain.”

Bert continued his explanation.

“I was a member of the Blood Moon Pack and our previous Alpha was killed by someone within the

High Court where we all belonged. The reason why he was killed was that he was only used as a tool

for the assassin, a tool to avenge his hurt. By chance, I overheard his conversation with one of his men

about the action they had completed, which was to kill our former Alpha. At that time, I also saw their

figures from the neck to the stomach, because as you know, the keyhole is very small. And from the

keyhole, I saw the tattoo that was drawn on the body of the mastermind of the murder, at that time he

was wearing a kimono that did not cover his chest. The tattoo is a snake and I've seen it at an event.

Because of my carelessness, when I was about to leave, my body hit a table causing a sound that was

enough to make them wary and suspicious. I thought I had managed to get away, but I forgot that we

were werewolves and we could smell each other. After that, he hunted and wanted to kill me, I

managed to escape and I arrived here, "said Bert while looking at the plate in front of him with a sad

look.

"I'm sorry to hear all that. Then, besides you, who else are they after?” asks John

“It should be just me, but when our Alpha died, our chef saw someone come to meet our Alpha and

chat with him for a while. Later when he enjoyed his lunch, he immediately collapsed and died. At that

time, I was on the back porch and didn't see any guests coming. So it's possible that our chef is being

hunted too," Bert replied.

"Is your chef a woman?" asked John.

"Yes, her name is Mrs. Jenkins."

"Do you suspect the guest?" asked John.

All possibilities exist after what I heard from that conversation. In the family room, two drinks were

found which had both been finished, after which our Alpha died. Oh wait, not long after, another Alpha

came and asked why our Alpha wanted to see him. Alpha of the Black Skull Pack. He was eventually

made a suspect and sentenced to prison. Not long after, he committed suicide because he felt his

honor and pride were hurt. This means the police missed the guest who came first. But, why Mrs.

Jenkins didn't say anything. This makes me wonder," said Bert.

“All of this is too complicated. Is the mastermind behind all this still in the High Court?” asked John.

“Yes, he holds a high power there and is hard to reach.”

“Then, what about your current Alpha? Is he in danger too?”

"He doesn't know anything about all this, as long as he doesn't know anything I think he'll be safe," Bert

replied with a deep sigh.

“But, what if he finds out and tries to find out?” asked John as he poured the drink into his glass.

"Would you like this drink?" John offered the drink to Bert.

"Yes." Then, Bert grabbed his empty glass and gave it to John. The old man grabbed the glass and

filled it with his alcoholic drink, then handed it back to Bert.

Without waiting long, Bert immediately tried to taste the alcoholic drink, then he answered John's

question while combing his hair back, “If he finds out then he's in danger, then the Blood Moon Pack

will be in danger. I don't know what to do, I want to protect him but I am in danger also."

"The most important thing of all is that you heal your wounds first, then you can warn him about this,"

said John.

However, just as Bert was about to thank John, from the kitchen they heard a wolf howl coming from

the middle of the woods.

"Bert, did you hear that?" asked John. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Yeah, that's them," Bert replied.
