Chapter 4 Alaric

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-14 08:55:00

Adrian's POV 

The closer I get to the drink stand, the further the asshole's smirk spreads. Of all the Alphas, Alaric is the one I hate the most. 

The asshole made school a nightmare. I got lucky with elementary and middle school; our pack had our own. High school is a different story. They believe it helps create future bonds between packs if their children go to high school together. The idea is that they learn together and become friends so that when they're older, they have connections with other packs instead of just their own. 

This idea would work if the children from other packs got along, but that's not always the case. Don't get me wrong, some people from different packs get along, but some don't.

Some keep to themselves, some make friends, and people like Alaric make other people's lives hell. 

I missed my own graduation ceremony because me and this dipshit were having it out behind the school. 

This fucker thought it would be funny to shred my cap and gown and fill my trunk with cow shit. I got halfway to school for my graduation ceremony before realizing where the stench was coming from. When I opened my trunk, I found the present he left for me along with a note sending me his love. 

I went to my graduation, but I never made it on stage, and neither did he. I dragged his ass behind the school, where we proceeded to beat the shit out of each other until our parents found us. 

Now that we're both out of school, this asshole still finds ways to taunt me and make my life hell. Sometimes, I wonder if it's because he likes the challenge I give him. I don't back down and scare as easily as everyone else he tries to intimidate. I stand my ground, and fight back, which initially pissed him off. Now it's like a sport to him. He lights up and takes every chance to get under my skin, just like he's doing now. He knows I don't want him here; the smug look on his face says it all. 

Nikolai reaches Alaric first and places his hand on his chest, forcing him to back away from the drink stand. 

“You have your drink; now step back so others can get theirs,” Nikolai said, and Alaric rolled his eyes as he stepped back.

“Awww. What's wrong? Afraid to get a drink on your own? Did you need your future Alpha to hold your hand? Does he hold your dick when you piss too? I bet he does,” Alaric taunted. 

“I growled as I lunged for him, but Nikolai caught me.” 

“Awww, did I upset you? Did I hit a sore spot? I would think that sore spot would be your ass and not your dick,” Alarik said as he leaned closer. I growled as I lurched forward, my arm extending over Nikolai's shoulder. Satisfaction filled me when my fist connected with Alaric's face. His face jerked to the side, and he stumbled back a step. He touched the skin next to his lips, wiping it with the back of his finger before smirking. 

“You still hit like a bitch,” Alaric said.

My jaw clenched as I glared at him for a moment before turning to order a drink. I knew he was only trying to get me in trouble. Sure, his father might ground him from contact with me and my pack, but I'm sure that's the extent of his punishments. His father doesn't like my pack any more than Alaric does. He got his beliefs from his father: things should remain the way they are instead of making things better for Omegas.

“Jack, double,” I said, regretting how sharp my tone was to the Delta 3. He flinched before turning and quickly pouring my drink. 

I brought the glass to my mouth, tilted my head back, and took the bitter content down in one gulp. I felt the bite in the back of my throat as it went down, and exhaled as I set my glass down and tapped it for another. 

“Listen, I need you to stay out of trouble. I'm supposed to keep an eye on you and make sure you two don't tear each other apart, but Weston is asking for a change of clothes for the Omegas and himself. I'll be back in 20 minutes. Please stay out of trouble,” Nikolai said through the link as his hand rested on my shoulder, squeezing it before walking away. 

I nod my thanks to the Delta 3 before downing my drink in one go. I turn, and I'm startled to find Alaric with a perplexed look on his face as he sniffs me. I shove him backward, my lips curling up in disgust at how close he was to my neck just a moment ago.

“What the fuck are you doing?”

“Why do you smell like that? What did you put on today?” Alaric asked, his eyebrows knitting together as he stepped forward with his nose flared, trying to sniff me again. I hit his chest as I shove him away. My hands curl into fists, ready to knock him out if he tries to touch me again. 

“Stay the fuck away from me!” I snapped .

I don't know what the fuck got into him, but he growled, stepped forward, and quickly grabbed my shoulders. He buried his face in my neck as his fingers gripped my shoulders bruisingly. I tried pushing him away, but this asshole is strong, much stronger than he was in high school.

Unable to get away, I punch him in the stomach, and he wheezes as he bends forward. As he curls forward, I shove him backward, pushing him to the ground. 

He looks at me in shock before scrambling to his feet and lunging for me. He's heavier than he was the last time I fought him. He sat on my stomach with my hands pinned above my head.

His chest heaved as he glared at me. His chest rumbled and his eyes flickered between his and his wolf’s. 

“No!... This can't be!” Alaric snarled. His eyes continue to flicker as they sweep over my face. 

“What the fuck are you going on about? Get the fuck off me, you fat ass!” I said as I struggled against his grasp.

As his eyes flicker, they land on the golden color of his wolves and remain there. As soon as that happened, my wolf pushed forward. 

My stomach dropped as realization hit me like a ton of bricks. 

I didn't feel what Nikolai had talked about time and time again... That sensation like something was waking up inside you and letting you know your other half was out there somewhere. No… This felt different.

I instantly realized how incredible he smelled. I found myself wanting to bury my face in his neck and breathe in his scent. I wanted to bottle it up and bathe in it until he was all I could smell. I felt an incredible pull to him like an invisible tether pulling our hearts together. 

I wanted to touch him, run my fingers through his bleach-blonde hair, and touch his face to see how rough it was. Is it as rough as his personality and his bad-boy image? 

Are his plump lips as soft as they look? What would his kiss taste like? What would his touch feel like? 

I was shocked when these desires quickly overcame me, and I was even more shocked when I felt my heart calling to him.

“No,” I whispered, looking at Alaric in shock.

“NO!” I yelled as I flipped us. I shoved his chest as I stood up and tried to walk away, but the asshole grabbed me and pulled me back. 

I saw red the moment he laid his hands on me. After the hell this idiot put me through the Goddess thought it'd be funny to mate him to me. I can see the disgust in his eyes as he realizes I'm what he got. 

I won't give him the satisfaction of seeing me crumble. No… Never! I would die first!

I growled as I threw my fist forward, but he caught it. The next moment, pain radiates through my face when his fist connected with my jaw. 

“Never!” Alaric yelled as he took me to the ground. I grunt as his fist connects with my ribs. I grit my teeth as he punches me in my side again. Our snarls are loud as we roll on the ground, swinging our fists fast as we fight. 

Alaric is suddenly ripped off of me before a firm hand grabs my shoulders and yanks me to my feet. 

“This is bullshit!” Alaric yelled before jerking his shoulder out of his father's grasp and darting into the woods. 

“What the hell is-” My Alpha was in the midst of lecturing me when he turned me to face him and saw my face. 

I knew he saw what I was feeling. I was trying to control it… I was trying to hide the hurt I felt deep in my chest. It felt like Alaric reached his hand inside my chest, wrapped his hand around my heart and squeezed as hard as he could. 

My chest heaved, and my eyes stung with the tears I tried to hold back. 

I had never felt so vulnerable. My feelings were raw and exposed, right there on the surface for everyone to see, and there was nothing I could do. 

My heart raced. It ached. It was begging me to go to him. 

“Adrian… What's going on?” My Alpha asked, his voice soft and laced with concern. It's a tone I'm not used to hearing, which bothers me for some reason. It feels like he knows what's happening and pities me. Pity is the last thing I want. 

I growl in frustration as I jerk my arm out of his grasp. My chest rapidly rises and falls as I struggle to keep the tears back. 

How could this happen? Why him? Why? Why would the Goddess do this to me? Why did he treat me the way he did? Why couldn't he have been nicer? Why won't he accept me? 

I felt pathetic as those questions raced through my head. I hated this feeling of my heart crumbling and everything slipping through my fingers so fast. 

I paced back and forth as I tugged at my hair. I growled before yelling and turned to stare at the spot where he disappeared into the woods. My body moved on its own before I decided to go after him. I ran after him, disappearing into the woods. 

It was easy enough to find him. His incredible scent was intoxicating, filling my nose and leading me straight to him. I found him in the same predicament I was in just minutes ago, pacing back and forth, mumbling to himself, and tugging at his hair in frustration. 

“This is fucking bullshit! Not that pathetic Beta!” Alaric mumbled under his breath before suddenly turning to face me. 

My stomach dropped at the angry glare I was receiving. I knew what was coming before his mouth even opened.

Alaric stormed forward, but I couldn't move. He gripped the collar of my shirt, twisted his wrist so the fabric tightened around my throat, and jerked me forward, bringing his face within an inch of mine. 

I hated how good he smelled. I hated the fact that all I could do was stare into his exotic gray eyes that looked like they belonged to an Egyptian Prince. At times, they almost looked white.

My eyes moved to his lips when he began speaking, and that only made it worse. I found myself admiring how beautiful his lips were. So plump… I bet they are soft. I bet they taste delicious. 

My eyes rapidly blinked when he jerked my body, shaking me. 

Did he catch me staring at his lips? I wondered as I snapped out of it and listened to what he was saying. 

“I hate you! I hate you, your pack, and everything you stand for! You and your pathetic pack don't deserve to live. This change that you're trying to bring about will never happen! We will kill you and your piece of shit pack before that ever happens. You and your people are a disgrace. How dare the Goddess mate me to someone like you,” Alaric said coldly. 

His beautiful, piercing eyes held nothing but anger and hatred as he looked at me. His words ripped through my heart like a hot silver blade, and the fact that he meant every word he said sucked the air out of my lungs, and made it impossible to respond.

My legs were too numb to catch myself when he shoved me backward. I fell to the ground and looked at him. The only thing hurt was my ego and heart.

I hated the lump that formed in my throat, and the tears that filled my eyes against my will, knowing what was coming next.

“I, Alaric Black, next in line Alpha to the Nightmoon Pack, reject you, Adrian Russo, to be my mate.” 

Alaric began the words just as I got to my feet, but when the last word fell from his mouth, I dropped to my knees. 

I grabbed my chest with one hand and caught myself with the other as I fell forward. An embarrassing cry left my mouth as the most painful sensation shot through my chest before spreading through my body.

I knew it was painful, I heard the stories, but I never imagined it was this painful. Tears streamed down my face, and I struggled to catch my breath. 

When I finally managed to lift my head and look at him, I saw regret. I could see his internal struggle, whether to stay where he was or run to me. I could see his concern, and somehow, I knew he wanted to hold me and take it back, but I couldn't allow that to happen. Not after the cold way he just rejected me. 

It would be one thing if he hadn't been the constant source of my torment for the past five years. The cause of the many times I ended up unconscious and woke up either in my bed, or in a hospital room. Not to mention the reason I was suspended over and over again, or put on probation one too many times, but he was responsible for all of it. He was the reason for everything bad that has happened to me since the day we met. 

I watched his eyes widen when I began to speake. His head shook, and he reached for me as if trying to stop me. Hot tears ran down my face faster, and my voice broke as I spoke, accepting his rejection. 

I felt my world crumble around me. I was barely aware I was speaking. As the last words left my mouth, I heard him cry out in pain as he dropped to the ground. 

I crawled to him, reaching out a shaky hand. I wanted to take it back. I wanted to be his, but he slapped my hand away before pulling himself to his feet. 

“Don't fool yourself… I don't want you,” Alaric said before turning and disappearing into the woods.

I let my body drop to the ground and curled into a ball. The air seeped from my lungs and my shoulders shook. I sucked a deep breath in, my shoulders rose before I screamed as I let all my pain out in one burst.

I don't know how long I lay there crying, but at one point, I swore I felt him watching me. I couldn't look. It hurt too much. What if he was there? What if he wasn't? I don't know which would hurt more, so I didn't look. 

It was my Alpha who found me. When I raised my head and looked at him, tears began to fall again. I knew I sounded pathetic, but I couldn't stop. An ugly cry escaped me before he scooped me into his arms and carried me back to the pack house. He slipped inside without anyone seeing us, which I was thankful for. I didn't want anyone to see me like that. 

I thought it would be hard to fall asleep, but it wasn't. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out. My body was spent, and I had nothing left in me to keep my eyes open. The Alpha's face blurred before disappearing as my eyes closed.

    Third Person's POV Weston was frustrated that Timothy's Alpha refused to discuss any deals on the Omega until it was time to release all of them. Thankfully, they didn't have to wait much longer, and before they knew it, it was time to release the Omegas.Weston hated this part, and so did the rest of his pack. The Omegas from visiting packs had to remain isolated until it was time for them to come out. Once they came out, it was their turn to see if they had a mate there. You could see the hope in their eyes, but you could also see fear. Fear of the unknown. If they have a mate, will he reject or accept them? If he does accept them, will he be nice, or will he use and abuse them like most people do? It wasn't as heartwarming and glamorous for the Omegas to find their mates, but it was worse when they didn't. Any Omegas left without a mate were free grabs for anyone who needed a breeder. The Omegas file out of the pack house and nervously walk through the crowd. Their noses flared a

    Adrian POV I never realized how exhausting it was to experience a rejection. I knew it was painful, and I knew it was dangerous for lower ranks, but I never realized that, even for someone like me, the toll it takes on your body.Every muscle in my body ached. And not like I just overdid it working out and pushed myself a little too hard, no. It felt like I had worked out for 3 days straight. My muscles were on fire. It was even hard to walk to the bathroom. My chest constantly ached. It felt like someone ripped my heart from my chest. Not even in my sleep was I able to get away from it, or away from him. Every time I fell asleep, I dreamed of him rejecting me over and over again. He haunted me every time I closed my eyes.I hear a whimper again as he snuggles closer, and I finally force myself to open my eyes. When my eyes open, I'm met with a head full of strawberry blonde hair. The Omega has been my constant companion. He refuses to leave me alone and tries his hardest to make me

    Adrian's POV I'm not strong enough to return to training yet, but at least I'm not stuck in bed all day. It's been 6 days since I was rejected, and my strength is finally returning. The doctor is surprised I'm already up and about. Most people can't drag themselves out of their room for at least two weeks. I'm not an Alpha, but I am a Beta—and a strong one at that. On the training field, I'm at the top of my class and undefeated. I think my strength and high position as the next in line Beta is helping my body heal and get over the rejection faster, even though the doc doesn't think so. He seems to think no matter how high-ranked you are or how strong you are, you'll still be down for a minimum of two weeks. He's perplexed by how fast I'm healing, but I say the old man isn't giving me credit. I've wiped the floor with Nikolai's ass on more than one occasion, although he got the best of me the other times. I'm trying to read everything I've missed, but these two loudmouths beside me

    Adrian's POV The cold winter air rushes against my face as I sprint through the woods. I feel Max wanting to shift, but I don't want him to—not yet. He's still weak from the rejection. I took a hit from it, but my wolf took a bigger hit. It's why it takes us so long to heal from a rejection.Our beautifully designed fast werewolf healing is done by our wolf. They have the ability to heal our bodies incredibly fast. The higher the rank, the faster you heal. The lower the rank, the slower you heal. What would normally take a human days or weeks to heal will take us hours or days. Rejection hurts our wolf more than it hurts us. It takes them a long time to recover from losing a part of their soul. A mate isn't just anyone; it's your soulmate. It's a person born with a piece of your soul, and when you're together, your soul is complete as you become one. It's the reason mates are stronger together, but it's also the reason it affects us so much when rejected. Max is still healing, and

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 9 Alaric

    Alaric's POVI always enjoyed fucking with him. Adrian was too easy to rile up. It hardly took anything to piss him off and get him to fight me. That little shit always gave me a run for my money. I would never tell him, but he's a good fighter. He gave me a challenge instead of backing down like everyone else. At first, I hated it. The audacity of that little Beta talking back to me, standing his ground, and stepping up to me pissed me off like nothing else. But then I grew to love it. I loved the challenge, and so did my wolf, a little too much. Zion looked at Adrian like a game of chase. Nothing excites an Alpha more than chasing someone, and he sure puts up a fight during that figurative game of chase… I think that's the reason my wolf fell for him. I didn't realize it until it was too late, and by then, my wolf was in love.I never imagined my stupid wolf would fall for the enemy. It frustrated me beyond belief. The only way to get rid of those frustrations was to take it out on

    Adrian's POV Slowly, I wake up, and my body feels stiff and heavy, like a weight is pressing down against me. I blink my eyes open, look down, and I see bleach-blonde hair on my chest causing my heart to stop. ‘What is he doing here?’It takes a moment for the shock to wear off enough for me to breathe again. I take a shaky breath in as I look at him lying with his head on my chest and my left arm draped over his neck. His eyes are closed, and his lips are parted. His breaths are deep and even; he's asleep.The asshole that has been the cause of my suffering looks so fucking handsome, and I hate it. Why does he have to look so good? He looks so peaceful, and for the first time, he doesn't look like an asshole. I feel Max waking from his slumber to look at him, urging me to touch him. He wants him… Even after the bastard broke our heart and threw the bond away like we were nothing… He still wants him. He still thinks this asshole is his.

    Alaric's POV Trying to focus on anything since he got hurt has been nearly impossible. Thank goodness my father had been out of town, and from what I know, he is unaware I went into Adrian's territory. Hell, he's been so busy since the day I found out Adrian was my mate that he hasn't realized I've been going through a rejection. It's not that it's anyone's fault but my own, but still, he knew something was wrong before he left, and yet he left anyway.I don't understand why I can't get Adrian out of my head, and why he's everything I think of every minute of the day. The rejection should have prevented this from happening, but it didn't. I'm finally strong enough to return to training, but I can't keep my mind off of him long enough, and I end up getting the shit beat out of me each time I step onto the mat.

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 12 Frustrations

    Adrian's POV Our pack has been on high alert since the attack. As prepared as we were, we weren't prepared for that level of attack. We never saw it coming. We didn't realize the rogues were capable of putting together an army like that. The worst thing is, we didn't get all of them. Most of them escaped, retreating once all of our men showed up. We chased them until they reached rogue territory, and we were forced to back off.The rogue territory is a complicated matter. Things there aren't as cut and dry as in a pack. It's set up by the King. It's a place for werewolves to go when they've been kicked out of their pack. A place they're exiled to unless another pack decides to take them in. The rogue territory is not a pack—at least, it's not supposed to be. Rogues are complicated. Most go feral after being without a pack for an extended period. The length of time isn't set in stone and is different for each wolf. It could take one year or five. And for some, it never happens. To th

    Third Person's POV Skylar slowly walked through the training field with his right arm hooked with Weston's. They slowly strolled through the large field where the center was covered with mats for sparring and the outer edge was unfinished. The conversation between them was light and sweet. Weston was persistent in finding out everything there was to know about his mate. The Omega was timid and blushed as he answered simple questions. His favorite color was easy to answer, but his favorite dessert was a hard one. There were too many sweets he loved, and he couldn't choose just one. The way his eyebrows drew together as he struggled to come up with an answer made Weston laugh and pull him closer, causing warmth to spread through the Omega's chest. Art watched as they walked off. He turned his attention to Nikolai when the young Alpha walked past him. It was like dangling a carrot in front of a horse. The Alpha's eyes were on Nikolai in an instant, and he turned to watch him.

In an instant, Leonard's knee is against his chest, his left hand is around his throat, and his right is cocked back for a kill shot. “How do you expect to be my Alpha, if you can't last more than 3 minutes with me?” Leonard said before releasing the young Alpha's throat. Nikolai rolled onto his hands and knees, coughing. His back was killing him, and he was hot. He pulled himself to his feet and growled as he tore his shirt off and threw it to the side. Leonard chuckled as he took his position on the mat. “ Is that supposed to help you?” The commander teased, and Nikolai rolled his eyes.“I don't know, maybe it will,” Nikolai said before mumbling under his breath, complaining how hot

His fingers trail his Beta's beautiful face, loving the way his light brown skin looks as the morning sun shines on him. He loved the beautiful sight that lay beside him in his arms. He smiled in satisfaction and pulled his warm body closer to him. So many thoughts race through Alaric's head as he watches his mate slowly wake up. When Adrian is lying in his arms, his fears and internal battle disappear. The only thing on his mind, is his beautiful Beta, who lies naked beside him, legs tangled, bodies flush together The Alpha's lips tug up when Adrian hums, licks his lips, and begins searching for him with his face.

    Skylar's POVI watched him cook as he talked to me. I couldn't take my eyes off of him as I sat at the counter. He knows my biggest secret, and he's not going to walk away or spread the word and tell everyone he knows. He's accepting me, even though I'm different…I'm a sucker for his scrambled eggs and cheese, but it's been awhile since I've had a sunny side up egg. Weston placed a plate in front of me as he sat down beside me with his own. I licked my lips when I saw how perfectly seasoned they were with salt and pepper. The toast was perfect! Not too light and not too dark, and the bacon was crispy. It was a perfect breakfast! I licked my lips as I grabbed my toast. Weston laughed when I dove in with my toast and murdered the yolk, wiggling the toast into it until it broke, and then proceeded to soak my toast with all the gooey substance. “Man, that was some determination!” Weston said while laughing. “What?” I asked before shoving the soaked toast into my mouth. “The way you

    Skyler's POV I wake up more warm and comfortable than I've ever been. I nuzzle in against the warmth, and I feel something move along my back. That's when I feel it, tingles dancing everywhere. It was like they waited until I was conscious enough to come to life. It's not every day I wake up on top of him. My heart skipped, and my pulse quickened. I feel his chest rising and falling with each breath he takes. I could hear his heart beating as his fingers soothingly caressed my back. My stomach fluttered when I felt him move and kiss my forehead. His finger gently gripped my chin and lifted my head until our eyes met. When they did, my stomach fluttered again. He had a soft smile and hummed as his eyes swept over my face. “Hmmm… Good morning, beautiful,” He said, and I swooned. Beautiful? Me? Those two words don't go together, but somehow he made me feel like they do. His smile widened as he touched my cheek while looking at it. I knew he could see I was blushing, which only cau

    Third Person's POV Nikolai was relieved that Arthur returned to his normal self once they were in the car. He sat in the center of the backseat, leaned forward, and nearly placed himself in the front seat between Victor and Leo, where he proceeded to talk their ears off, amusing no one but the Omega in Victor's arms.Once they passed the front gate, they rolled their windows down and drove through the territory slowly, trying to pick up the slightest scent of rogues. Thankfully, the air smelled clean of rogues. The only thing they could smell was the residual stench from burning the bodies.Once Leo parked the car, Arthur quickly exited the car, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared to run a lap around the packhouse. “Holy shit! He's fucking fast!” “Nikolai!” Victor scolded. “What?”“I know you're old enough to cuss, but ease up on it in front of me. I'm your father! Show some respect!” Victor said firmly, and Nikolai dropped his head.“I'm sorry, Father!”“Apology accepted! L

    Third Person's POV The evening was winding down, and the only packs remaining at Arthur's were Victor's and Alpha Merle's. Merle is a quiet Alpha who sticks to himself. His pack is located at the farthest Northwest end of the peninsula. It's the most rural part of the peninsula, tends to be the coldest, and gets the most snow, making it the least desirable area to build a pack. Because of this, Merle doesn't have much of a threat, especially since no other packs are near him. He has no allies, but not because he was refused. It was rather because he hadn't requested one, and the few people who had reached out to him, he turned down. He doesn't attend any of the events, such as mating ceremonies. The only things he attends are the mandatory Alpha convention and the annual celebration. To say everyone was surprised to see Merle attend Arthur's party would be an understatement. It wasn't mandatory, and he didn’t bring all his unmated members, which would have explained why he was the

Don't stop until you're in our room.” Weston said, dropping his hands and glancing back at the rapidly approaching threat. He looks back at his terrified Omega, whose eyes are filled with tears. “NOW! RUN!” Weston yelled before turning and shifting in one fluid motion. Knox snarled as he bolted forward, charging the enemies as he pushed against his Alpha's link. He was met with an empty link, reminding him that the Alpha, the Commander, and a good portion of their pack were gone, visiting Arthur's pack for his big party.Weston pushes on the Beta's link, and Joseph quickly opens it.Three hundred feet away, where Skyler stood on the blanket, he was horrified when he watched his mate run toward danger.
