chapter 5

"Who knows..Maybe the moon goddess has finally showed you mercy and our future luna queen is near by... "

Ray smacks the back of Karl's head.

"Ouch!"

"I don't have a mate, if I have one I'd have met her already!"

Karl groans and shrug.

"Who knows, she might be from another pack"

Ray sneers at him and laughs nervously.. then his body suddenly went rigid.. his eyes glazed.

It stays that way for a few minutes before he blinks and faces Ray.

"Ray, alpha King just mind-link me.. he wants you to come back now"

Ray frown wondering why his father didn't mind-link him instead... then he remembers that he blocked his mind-link.

"Did he say why he wants me back?"

"No"

Ray takes a deep breath and gets up.

"Let's go!"

Alpha King's mansion....!

Alpha King sits on a sofa... Luna queen sits next to him, peeling an orange.

The door open and Ray walks in... He slumps on a sofa.

"Ray.. you're here!" His mother exclaims happily.

He smiles briefly at her and turn to his father.

"You sent for me?" He asked coldly... or rudely, that should be the right word.

His father ignored his tone and speaks.

"Yes! I have something very important to tell you"

"Then say it!"

The Luna queen picks an orange and throws it at him.. she passed him a warning glare.

"That's no way to talk to your father, young prince!" She scolds him.

Ray grunts and adjust on his seat.

"Then tell him to cut to the chase!"

She glares at him one more time before speaking.

"Raymond, you're 19years old already and you know you're not getting any younger... "

Raymond rolls his eyes and throws his head back on the sofa.

*Of course I know that... that's our everyday campaign!* He thought.

".... You still haven't seen your mate. So.... "

She hesitate and looks at her husband for support.. he clears his throat.

"We have decided to send you back to high school"

This statement settled in his head and he quickly sit upright with a deep frown on.

"High school?!" He asked.

"Yes, maybe you might find your mate there!"

Ray scoffs angrily.

"Every teenager attending crescent high is from this pack... I don't need to go to school to find my mate!"

His father shakes his head.

"No! You're going back to high school"

"I'm not!"

His father glares at him harshly.

"I dare you to say that again!"

"I said I'm not! I've graduated high school two years ago!"

His father growls lowly... His mother quickly drops the orange she was holding and rubs his father's back to calm him down.

"Ray, stop talking to your father in that manner!" She scolds him.

"Then tell your husband I'm not going back to high school"

"But Ray.. this is the only way we can think of.. your dad will retire soon and you'll become the new alpha King.. your coronation can't happen without your mate!"

"No! I'm not going!" With that he stands up and leaves the living room.

He head for the door and shuts it in a very loud bang after stepping out.

"You.. did.. how rude is that son of yours!"

"Calm down.. he'll come along!" Luna queen calms him down.

Ray stands in the middle of the training field... He cracks his fingers and brings out his claws.

He turns to his fighters.. scanning them.. looking for who's strong enough to fight with him.

"You!" He points at a guy.

Though the guy is taller than Ray.. he's standing at 6ft7.. but the moment Xander points at him... his legs starts shaking and fear appears in his eyes.

"M-me..?" He stutters.

"Yes, you! Come here!"

The guy look around, begging his teammates to join him but they all look away.

They can feel Ray's anger... And fighting with an angry alpha is officially signing your death certificate.

"I said come here!" Ray growls.

The guy takes slow steps backwards.. and soon he's running away as if his life depended on it.

Ray look around looking for someone else to spar with.. but just like the first guy, they all ran away.

Ray almost chase after them but Karl, Henry and Jerome held him back.

He struggles to set himself free but they tried their very best to hold him down.

"I just wanna train!" He growls in his alpha's tone... (Commanding tone)

They quickly bows their heads, but didn't let him go.

"Prince, how about you calm down first" Henry suggest.

"I'm calm!"

He pushes them off him and marches towards a bench.. he sits on and balled his fist.. grinding his teeth against each other.

Henry, Jerome and Karl looked at each other.. silently fighting about who will speak first.

"Ray.. what happened? What did the Alpha say?" Henry asked.

"He FUCKING wants me back in highschool" Ray answers immediately.

They quickly sits next to him.

"What?! Why?!" Karl asked.

"They want me to find my bloody mate there!"

"But you're done with highschool" Jerome said in his quiet voice.

"So.. what do you wanna do now?" Karl asked.

Ray stays silent.. he knows even if he doesn't wanna go back to highschool.. his dad will force him.

His dad will use the alpha tone on and no one can disobey the alpha's tone...not even him..the alpha prince.

"I don't know!"

There's another brief silence. Karl breaks the silence with a clap.

"Don't worry, Ray.. highschool is fun.. I'll go back with you!"

Henry and Jerome nods too.

"Yeah.. we'll also go back with you.. besides we can choice any class we want"

Ray takes a deep breath and exhale slowly... His fist remain clenched.

He gets up.

"I need a cold bath... let's race later!" Then he rushed off.

       Stacey's POV

I fall on my bed and released a long sigh... I'm finally done unpacking!

I reach for my phone and check the time... It's already 6:59pm. I didn't know unpacking and arranging my stuff will take so much time.

*What a tiring day!* I groan mentally.

I got up and my eyes met the plate of omelet on the table... Josh had no choice but to bring it to my room.

Cause I was too busy unpacking.. when he called me to come have dinner I didn't listen... Hence, he brought it to my room instead.

I take a few bites and head to the bathroom... I'm tired and I need a bath.. and a long sleep.

I didn't spend too much time in the bathroom..I changed into my barbie pj's and climb onto my bed.

Tomorrow is school...I wonder how my new classmates will treat me...not that I wanna make any friends..but at least nobody should stir up unnecessary troubles for me.

I sighed.... I just pray I get a good night sleep and don't have any nightmares!
