Few hours later.

(RUDER'S POV)

I heard a high pitched scream come from the Luna that I have just attacked, her Alpha, long dead, and that scream disturbed me so much that I do not even bother giving her a slim chance to redeem herself with a good fight against my strength, I ripped her head off and it rolled over to the side where her Alpha's was.

I sighed and rubbed off the blood stain on my paws onto one of the bodies around me.

I had just finished off the Panthing Wolves pack and it wasn't so surprising they couldn't stand my strength. blame me for being too civil, seeking approval from the elders in the first place.

I regret not coming here straight away. I mindlinked Endra urgently, hoping that since I'm nearer to where he is, he can connect to me.

I could almost feel him in the air, his being. The feeling was coming to me in waves and for once I am in my life, I was confused.

"Endra?"

"Endra, can you hear me?"

"A.l.p.h.a"

I heard him draw out with difficulty and I immediately sensed that he was in pain, resisting the anger that was about to boil over me, I ask him..

"Where are you? Do you know where? I'm here in the packhouse already".

"I'm.. .. in… the.. .. dungeon. Their.. .. … dungeon. It's east of the main pack house, You'll feel me once you're nearer" he said and the link cut off.

Endra? Endra?...

(RITA'S POV)

Finally, I am here!

Richevil, here I am!

The moving vehicle stopped in front of my new home, I've paid off all the necessary things and gotten the needed documents, the only one thing I haven't done is meet or speak to my roommate. I'd postponed it for so long.

Thankfully and quite easily, since day 18th, I'd begun packing up my stuff silently and quietly to avoid attention and I mostly did the huge stuffs when no one was home anyway. I didn't for once even go visit Sammie, I mean..My state of mind was no where close to see him.

I put a call through to my roommate, I'd gotten his cell number from the agent who'd helped me with my documents and what not.

"Hello, who ever is this?"

He picks up on the first ring and this is what I heard him say, uh oh. I am suddenly speechless.

"Hullo?" He intones again and thankfully, the cat finally le go of my tongue.

"Uh hi! My name is Rita and I'm your new roommate, i bet Mr Reynolds told you about me. The new girl? Ring a bell?"

"Oh you! You you you! Oh my gosh! When are you moving in darling?"

He sounded excited for some weird reason, shouldn't he be mad at me for being girl? Maybe I exaggerated.

"Uh, tricky question, cause I'm right out here already. About to move in, if you'd please!"

"Oh my days. You should have called earlier, I am coming right out sweetheart." He said and ended the call.

Huh! Strange guy, strange, there's definitely something wrong with his manner of speaking.

"Baby girlllll!' a slender man, almost my age, almost my own stature, tanned skin and beautiful face and that smile, fuck!, Bounding towards me like a long lost friend.

He gave me a big hug and weirdly, I didn't feel repulsed or scared, I mean? We're talking about a stranger I have never seen in my entire life, much less spoken to.

"Hi, I'm Rita" I smiled and hoped that was warm enough right after he released me from his grip.

"Hello Rita, you look like a pretty lost thing, I'm Jeremy, my friends call me Aloha though, your pick"

"Hello Jeremy, it's a pleasure to meet you" I picked the more conservative name, I'm not the type to call people names they are not, without full specific reasons, let's all be normal, aye? Aye!

"I'm not going to talk about all my fears as to meeting you and all that... I'll just rather pretend I knew you were going to be a great roommate already" I said half heartedly.

Hoping that even if he wasn't a good person, which he does seem to be already though, he'll at least treat me well as his roommate.

"Aw baby girl, you were thinking about me already? That's so fucking sweet love. I'm flattered" he answers me and my first thought is wait, did he even hear me? That's just funny and cute. Oh well, whatever, I think I'm beginning to like this guy. Jeremy.

I signaled the movers to start taking my things in after I get a nod of approval from Jeremy.

I spoke to Jeremy for most of the time while scrolling through Instagram at other times, we talked a lot and I'm rather glad that we had quite a lot of things to say to each other and more importantly, he's not a self absorbed asshole.

He offered his Instagram handle and I proceed to check him out on there. Fuck! This guy is so freaking cool and he still is able to hold a normal conversations. Wow!

~~Back home~~

(It was the evening and everyone in the Reynolds family had just returned home from different places.)

"Enzal, I think your sister has had enough fun by herself, can you get her to come down here? Break open the door if you have to, you can't just stay in your room for two weeks and not come out! She might have committed suicide, who knows?" Mrs Reynolds said to Enzal, her first son, while Rana was quick to reply..

"Mom, first of all, Rits isn't the type to commit suicide, two, mom, you can't just ask Enzal to break open the door. Again, that's a violation of protected privacy. What if she's naked or something?."

"Quit yapping Rana, this is not a conversation you should be part of. Don't you have a paper to deliver or something?"

"Wow mom, wow" Rana walked away in the direction of her room, huffing and puffing like one who has been wronged.

"Hello, Rita? Rita! Mom wants you down! Are you okay? Can you hear me?"

"Rita?"

Enzal calls out front of Rita's door and the echoes he is getting back is quite unusual and significant of a place that is bare.

Remembering the order to break open the door, he first tries the knob to see how daily that can be broken as opposed to breaking open the door. Surprisingly the door knob opens the door so easily with zero resistance, it even surprises Enzal himself, since he had been turning it with quite a bit of force.

He staggered into the room trying to regain his stamina. And when he finally did, he looked up to call out to his sister but instead of the usual rough looking place, he found it bare.

(RUDER'S POV)

After finding Endra at the pack's dungeon, it was evident that he was severely injured and unfit to even move, he seemed to be in his wolf form and unable to change into his human one, cause he was unconscious..

I just lifted him up after I myself have shifted to my human form and with a speed a very few Alphas can boast of, I speed back to my own pack, not minding the gory sight of how I actually look and all that.

In record time, I reached my packhouse and I head over to the pack doctor's place immediately.

''Alpha!''

The pack doctor acknowledged me with a nod of his head while I just put down Endra carefully on one of the stretched out bed.

"Good day doc, how is he? Is he going to be okay?" I rushed my words. Endra wasn't healing and that bothers me.

"Good day alpha, I apologise for this, but I'll need a little bit of time to check him out and all that"

" Of course, diagnosis and all that. I will just wait here till he's ready to go then"

" No problem Alpha, just that it might take a while and it would be much better if you took this little time to get rid of the thick stench of blood and death that had clung to you Alpha. The young wolves are..." the doc said in a subservient tone.

"Say no more, I understand. I'll be back in a while for him. I expect all the information that I can get."

Few hours later, when I've washed off the blood and filth off me, I returned to the clinic to find that, Endra was now breathing properly already and his face was no longer contorted in pain, he looked much more peaceful than before.

" He was consistently force fed wolf's bane and some silver seemed to have seeped into his bones, Alpha."

What?

I suddenly wished I had killed those wolves much more brutally than I already have, I let out a growl unconsciously which maked the doctor jumped. I mean, your pack leader growling in your face, I fully expect him to jump but I did not mean to scare him, so swiftly, I apologise for it. But what the hell though?

Why did they do something like that? Though passive rivals, there was nothing to warrant what they had done and from one of the high ranking wolves from the Panthing Wolves pack, I had gathered that they had planned to extort my pack during negotiation. That still did not explain why they had treated Endra so horribly, I made the right choice in wiping them off the face of the earth.

(RITA'S POV)

Settled in already, unpacked all my boxes and I just wanted to relax, sleep for a long while. Just sleep and enjoy myself, stretch out without having to think of any family members or how and what they think of me.

Just as I am about to sleep, I remembered that uhoh..

Ring!! Ring!! Ring!!!

Fuck! My pseudo parents and siblings should have found out by now that I've moved out of the house, they'll be home already.

"Enzal"

The caller ID read and I immediately direct the call to voicemail. Shit!

A few minutes later and I have practically missed calls from every single members of my family, except my dad and Sammie of course. The bitches be wondering where I am already? Well let them chill a little bit. I should get a new number soon, so I can avoid all these calls and all.

(Back Home after it has been discovered that Rita went missing)

"Have you called her phone? everyone? Have you?" Mrs Reynolds suddenly looked frantic, looking into the bare room again as if the shock of the situation was suddenly just dawning on her again and again and again. She must have never thought that Rita could just up and leave, disappear into thin air as if she had never existed in the first place. All the things that were rightly hers, were missing.

"Wow, I didn't see this coming though, I can already see the headlines on tv tomorrow. 'Rita Reynolds, the runaway sister of some Taharana Reynolds, popularly known as Tara and for her successful career as a model'.." Rana ran her mouth off unconsciously as she fantasized.

"Shut the hell up, Rana, what is wrong with you? Your sister's missing and all you can think of is getting on some tabloid? Are you kidding?"

"Fuck you Enzal and no, I'm not kidding, bad publicity is also publicity, and stop acting like you also loved her when she was here, I get what I want one way or the other and if it's gonna be by a missing sister, guess who doesn't mind! Taharana Reynolds, right here" Rana answered sarcastically almost as if going through a Freudian slip, then walked away from the room as if trying to avoid contamination.

"Mom, mom, there's a voice tape under the bed frame, it sounds like Rita's voice, I think she might have left us a recording." Enzal shouts and Mrs Reynolds replied quickly as she ascended the stairs quickly..

"What does it say?Few hours later.
