05~Only one heartbeat

ALPHA HERCULES

 Only one image is stuck in my head, I feel lost, confused, And these were not feeling that I easily welcomed.

 I am an alpha for crying out loud. The most feared and ruthless Alpha, yet I had gone weak in the presence of a female.

“ Martin!’’ I call entering my throne room. 

If there was one thing I will do when I caught her, it'll be to punish her for running away from me. Did she not know who I was? 

Could she not feel it? I have mastered her face at the back of my mind.

 Oh, goddess, She is beautiful.

But she was scared, afraid of me for some reason. And yet that already made Bond is supposed to make us feel comfortable and safe in each other's arms.

 Supposed to complete us. 

When I touched her, there was so much pain and suffering. She was so scared of me that all I wanted to do will show her that I wasn't going to hurt her. But how was that even possible?

 She had already made assumptions about me, I could tell that she was running from me because she knew who I was or at least she suspected it. These are one of the moments where my reputation betrays me. 

Now my mate was afraid of me and she had run from me. But why had I not gone after her?

Most importantly, why was I not able to transform fully in her presence? It's like my wolf was stuck somewhere behind my mind, unable to come out. 

As an alpha that stands out as the biggest most dangerous turns weakness. 

“Yes, Alpha,” Martin answered immediately rushing into the throne room and bowing before me. 

My fist clenched with frustration, Today has been so dark that I wasn't able to pinpoint which direction she ran. I felt like I was Enchanted. 

Things like this are not supposed to be difficult for an Alpha like me. They made me feel like a regular wolf, She made me feel like a regular wolf. 

She must be someone powerful. 

To cause such an effect On me, then she must be really powerful. Perhaps a talented warrior or an alpha's daughter.

 The moon goddess has truly blessed me with a wonderful mate. One that is going to complete me. One that is worthy of being my queen and ruling beside me.

“Prepare for transportation. We leave at dawn.’’ 

 Hearing my announcement also made me question what I was doing. What if I saw her before me and I ended up being weak and helpless in the presence of my Warriors? 

“Yes my alpha,” he answered. 

I sensed the hesitation in his voice but I didn't make a point to ask him about it. It's not my problem whether or not he is curious or confused. His only job is to take my orders. To do what he is told without question.

“That will be all,’’ I speak with authority. 

He nods his head vigorously before leaving my presence immediately. Sometimes I hated how pathetic my servants were, one moment they showed so much weakness in following orders.

 The fear that I always detected of them in my presence was pathetic. While I had ascertained enough dominance it irritated me to see how much my Warriors were afraid. 

Part of being an alpha meant that I was not only feared but also respected. While I had gained both these aspects, the fear in the eyes of my Warriors had always been the thing that irritated me the most.

      As an alpha it meant that I couldn't block out certain emotions and feelings of the people around me. it was like a survival skill. It helped me counter any attack. 

Right before she made me weak last night!

    ‘I hardly ask you for anything. I have everything I have right here. I have to lead my people to Victoria a dozen times, and I have been a great alpha and a knowledgeable one. But I have been alone. And I have lacked a queen to rule by my side, today you have revealed to me that you indeed created the perfect match for me. A powerful warrior or even an alpha's daughter. Guide my path into finding her and I will forever be grateful to you.’

Praying to the moon goddess was the only thing that makes me feel in touch with my humility. There at the same time, I told her everything, she had blessed me. Guided me with wisdom, Put in my path with the right people.

  

All these years, I had believed that the moon goddess had not created and mated for me. But today was the exception. 

Now I truly understand that everything will fall into place. My mate is a powerful she-wolf. She made me weak just by her presence. I can't help but come up with several imaginations as to how powerful she is. 

My heart beats drastically whenever I think about her. I suddenly feel the presence of my wolf surfacing. He was no longer hiding like a coward at the back of my mind.

 All I keep asking myself is why? Why had my wolf not been with me back in the forest? Why had he chosen to hide somewhere at the back of my mind?

Whatever it was, I was going to find my mate. And I was proud that she was not a weakling or a normal pack citizen. 

   Worst of all, I am glad that she is not some worthless omega.

««»»

Sleep had become foreign to me tonight. When I tried to shut my eyes all that I could think about was that beautiful female back in the forest. 

The bond and connection I felt with her. She was my mate. The woman that the moon goddess has created for me. Was it crazy that I'm still in disbelief?

 I got up from bed sweat breaking profusely from the pores on my forehead as a clenched my fist. I was tired. 

There was only about 3 hours before the sun Rose. And I had hoped to get just a little bit of sleep because I knew that the festivities of looking for my mate tomorrow maybe tiring. But even that was not possible. Because I still kept thinking about her. And my wolf would not let me sleep. 

Is it not ironic?

 I hear the twisting of my doorknob. suddenly I'm allowed, ready to pounds and attack. Over after all being on the Edge and right now I can tear literally anybody apart. 

They do not twist again, this time with much slower movements. My heart that's erratically with excitement. 

I want to see who it is. The person that dares to risk their life, I didn't care if I had to kill. At least then my stressful mind would be put and platies. Released by ripping someone apart I could focus on much better things. They could devise strategies as to how I was going to find my mate. There is sounds of footsteps right behind the door. 

But I can hear only one heartbeat.

Setting my feet on the carpeted floor slowly, I tiptoe towards the curtains with minimal movements. I watch carefully, my finger said to be the ones that shed blood today. I want to rip the intruder apart. Immediately the door is opened I found forward my first connection with a dark figure as the fall over and yelp.

 Without wasting a second, I fall to my knees and allow my wolf to take over. I can feel the change in atmosphere. You can feel it when my eyes turn color.

I looked down at my victim, Almost knocked out with just one punch.
