Chapter 2: Chapter 2: barely holding
"Let's go. "
Out of nowhere, a sniper round hit Alexander in the chest penetrating through his suit and vest. Alexander was thrown back making his guards rush to his side.
Dariel cursed as he placed his hands over the wound.
"SIR! HOLD ON! WE WILL GET YOU OUT!"
Alexander squinted his eyes as he looked at the sky. The bullet went through his heart and he was barely holding on.
He coughed blood as he reached up and held Dariel's hand.
"Get. Out.
Of. Here.
My. Watch.
"
Dariel knew that the watch served as a heart monitor. In the case that Alexander died, the estate will detonate, and everything in the surroundings.
Dariel reached for the watch and removed the Memory chip.
Dariel got up and motioned for the guards to follow him as they rushed to the SUVs. As for Alexander, he gazed at the full moon in the sky with a smile.
'So beautiful. '
He held on to give Dariel as much time as this place was about to go sky-high. The moment he breathed his last the watch detected his lack of a heartbeat.
The explosives that were rigged were set off one after another causing the entire estate and everything in the surroundings to be destroyed.
His will and all his documents were in the memory chip so Dariel could always take over Canis Tech. Alexander's company and no one was more worthy of that than Dariel who had been with him since the start.
Alexander had always been an atheist as he had never seen a single miracle. What he did not know was that he had just been given a miracle.
When he woke up he looked around and saw he was in a grassland with a huge moon over his head.
He sat up and placed his hand on his chest.
"I'm alive?"
He looked around and had no idea how his body was in one piece. Just as he was about to stand up he was nudged on the back by something so he looked behind him and saw his pet, Ragnarock.
Seeing that his pet was not only alive but here was a shock.
"Ragnarok?"
Alexander reached out and gave his beloved pet a big hug. The wolf placed his head on his shoulder as he was happy to see his master again.
"As long as you are here everything will be fine. "
A small chuckle was heard which made Alexander look back and he saw a stunning woman. She had 9 wolf-like tails, wolf ears, and her clothes looked to be made of fur.
Behind her were many wolves who were giants and looked at her with respect and love. She approached both Ragnarok and Alexander and kneeled in front of them with a smile.
"How are you today Alexander?"
"I would say far from well as I got my heart blown out, my pets killed and everything I ever cared about was destroyed. "
She smiled at his joke.
"I saw, but you are lucky I was watching at the time. If not you would have been sent to the circle of reincarnation like everyone else.
Introductions, I am the Goddess of Wolves Calinda. I saw your love for your Ragnarock as you stayed with him until his end.
That deserved a reward I say. "
Alexander looked down.
"I am thankful even one of them is fine. What now? I am dead and as I am now I cannot pay you back.
My question is what is this place?"
She stood up and explained.
"This is just my personal realm. Now make your choice, you can stay here or I can simply send you to a new world.
Of course, as I am the goddess of Wolves I will give you the strongest bloodline of all wolves. My own.
"
Alexander smiled a bit.
"Dariel always told me I looked like a wolf with this beard of mine. Fine, I accept.
However, why would you do this? I am nobody now that my wealth is gone. No, I was nobody even if I had it as it is impossible a god will care about the mortal paper.
"
She sighed as that was the paranoia and intellect that made Alexander so hated in his past life.
"Can you not just take something at face value? I am really doing this just because of the care you showed Ragnarock. I don't want anything extra from you.
I just want to reward someone for something I liked. Nothing more.
"
Alexander sighed.
"Once a businessman always a businessman. If I did not question everything how would I ever make it far?"
Calinda sighed again
"Just enjoy your life and look after your friend. Just remember to go as far as you can Alexander live your best life.
Ragnarock, live up to your name if you can. I am sure you will.
"
She snapped her fingers and Ragnarok turned to smoke and entered Alexander's heart. After a portal opened up and Alexander was sucked in.
His mind shut down and the next thing he knew he was sitting in a chair.
The moment he could think he started to glance around. He cared for his own safety and things were not as they seemed.
He saw three people around him, all adults. They looked Japanese and they were talking about adoption which made Alexander think carefully.
The woman in front looked to be heavily pregnant which seemed a bit odd to adopt a kid while pregnant. As a former orphan who raised himself to where he is everything was dangerous to him.
'So, I am alive again. Now, with no money and no status.
'
He looked next to him where a Japanese woman talking to the young couple. Alexander glanced down at his lap where puppy Ragnarock was sitting while sleeping and at least his pet came along with him.
That was the most important to him.
'You being with me makes this all worth it. '
He glanced down at his hands which were paler than his old ones. He ran his tongue through his teeth and found a rather strange feature.
