The Rebirth of the Betrayed Alpha

"Who is playing a wicked game, Nathaniel?"

Nathaniel frowned, stomping his feet on the ground while moving closer to the young man, creating an annoying staccato. But the young man stood still, firm and unblinking. There was no hint of fear In his eyes and Nathaniel wondered why.

Anyone standing where he stood would have taken a step backward as Nathaniel approached, but the young man's composure remains firm. Nathaniel hadn't seen anyone so brazen in such a long time, not even Alexandra could stand in her tracks the first day they had met.

"You seem rather brazen for a young man of your age"

"Brazen? I don't see myself as that"

"What then do you perceive yourself to be?"

"Nothing at all" The young man wasn't ready to reveal his identity, it would be something he hopes Nathaniel would figure along while they played their little game of hide and seek.

Nathaniel laughs although not hysterical but in a manner that showed he was close to losing his temper and ripping his head out. "No one perceives themselves to be nothing. I perceive myself as an Alpha since I am, what then are you? An Alpha?"

"Anything" He left out the "deal with it", although from his scowl he'd heard his unspoken challenge.

"Anything?" Nathaniel throws back the answer seeking to get a clearer response but the young man could see right through him and so he gave him a vivid answer. "Yes, anything that you want me to be"

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes sharply sensing his challenge. "Stop playing games with me"

"Look at the beautiful trees Nathaniel" He averts his eyes towards the trees brushing against each other while a light breeze blows them.

"What about them?"

"What do you think happens when they die?"

Nathaniel frowned, annoyed by the riddles he was throwing at him when all he wanted to do was disappear and appear right next to Alexandra.

"I'm not in the mood for some silly mind games"

"This isn't a game Nathaniel" His stern voice causes Nathaniel to shrug. "Isn't it?"

"It isn't"noveldrama

From the look of things, Nathaniel realizes he wasn't speaking to the same young man anymore. This could mean he was about to unravel the mystery around him and he wasn't going to take chances.

Once he was done with him, he would head straight for Alexandra to help her like he intended to.

The young man squared his chin stubbornly In an attempt to push Nathaniel to talk back at him, giving him the satisfaction that he intends to achieve. "The tree grows back"

"All kinds of trees?"

"How am I supposed to know that?"

"Aren't you smart" The young man lowers down a little and plucks a flower. "You been rumored to be smart, is it overrated or just st a fallacy?"

Nathaniel glares at him, his oval face, though like the rest of him went unnoticed by the young man who was now lost staring at the beautiful flowers.

"Those are for women" Nathaniel tactfully decided to let the words be trapped in his throat and than be let loose when he hasn't figured out who he was.

"These are for women," The young man said as though sensing the words running through Nathaniel's head. But Nathaniel chooses to remain silent. He wasn't going to let him manipulate him like he intends to.

"Do all kinds of trees grow back?"

"Perhaps"

"Then is good for us then"

"Just what is good for us?" This time Nathaniel was past boiling point and was really to pounce on him if he continues to play games with him.

"Now this is what I'm looking for" The young man smirks menacingly causing Nathaniel to look right into his eyes, trying to calm his nerves.

"What exactly are you looking for?"

"The real you. The rumored Alpha Nathaniel Starkov of Crimson pack"

"Tell me who you are!" Nathaniel yells.

The young man grinned, the grin of someone happy to bring out the worst in Nathaniel. It was as though he had been waiting for this to happen and Nathaniel doesn't know why.

Looking at him closely, Nathaniel could swear he didn't look familiar, he had been to neighboring packs but none could stand to stare at him let alone play games with him when it came to seriousness. That would get them killed in just a split second yet he didn't know what was holding him back from giving the young a taste of his own medicine.

Taking a step backward, Nathaniel hoped he was not the current object of his wrath since it would be such a shame to end a good-looking man who he thought his only vision was probably chasing girls in tight skirts.

"Do all trees grow back?" The young man throws back the question waiting to see what next he says about him. It was fun watching Nathaniel in a confused state.

"How am I supposed to know damnit and who are you?"

"Exactly you don't and is irrelevant to know who I am"

"Irrelevant?" Nathaniel chuckled, ridiculously. "You think is irrelevant for me to know who you are"

"Yes it is"

"I don't think so since you know a lot about me"

"Forgive me Nathaniel but you are quite popular so is not surprising that I know a lot about you"

"Don't give me that crap when you know exactly who I am"

"And what if I told you that I don't know who you are"

"Then I will call you a liar"

"Of course, I would be lying but can you tell what else I know?" The look in his icy brown eyes convinced Nathaniel that he knows more than he was letting about him yet he knew nothing about the unfamiliar figure staring at him with such brazenness in his eyes and that set him off.

"What else do you know?"

"Guess Nathaniel, I'm certain you have figured it out by now"

"I haven't so speak before I give you peace of my mind" His adrenaline rushes up

and his eyes quickly turn yellow.

"The name begins with an A and ends with an A, what that's?"

"Alexandra" Nathaniel whispered.
