Falling For The Alpha King novel 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.
