Alpha Sams Nightmare

Alpha Sam’s POV

My princess was sixteen today. I cannot believe it. Where does that time go? I am currently ensuring the dining room is decorated in shades of grey and blue. Her favourite and checking on all the food prepared for her breakfast. I turn away, trusting the staff to complete the mission I gave them, they know how important my baby is to me. I run upstairs to retrieve the gift I got for Ren. As I climb up the stairs as fast as my legs will take me, I get lost in thought about the last sixteen years with my little angel.

I still remember her toddling around on the grass out back, laughing and signing in her little dresses. She hated those things. She would strip out of them and run around naked until we let her put a jumpsuit or sweats on. I smile at the memories. I would be having a heart attack every time she played outside, fearing she would fall from the cliff. My mate would lay out there on the sun lounger while she played, however, she wasn’t watching her. I knew she had depression after having Serenity, and I sympathetic to that, but even all these years later, it has affected their relationship. I see the other mothers in my pack, going shopping, going to the salon or going out to eat with their daughters. Sometimes I watch them, mothers and daughters, sat talking together about their day and wonder if I was a bad father for not forcing them to bond better. They didn’t have a bond really. They lived in the same house, and they both loved me, but that... that’s about it. I know my mate loves her. How can a mother not? But I think, after all this time, she just doesn’t know how to bridge the gap between them. 

I once came out to the garden; Ren couldn’t have been more than.... three at the time, and it was roasting hot. Sheryl, my mate was in a bikini, laid with a cocktail of some kind on the sun lounger. After a moment of drooling over my bombshell of a mate, and her mile long pale legs, and the way her blond hair laid down to her breasts, I looked around for Ren. I needed to pass the munchkin on to one of the Omega wolves so I could have an afternoon buried between my mate's breasts. As I look around, I see her, sat on the edge of the cliff, with her tiny legs dangling. My heart stopped. I looked at her in panic and dashed over. Lifting her into my arms and carrying her back. I could barely regulate my breathing. I vowed to get a damn fence to stop any young pups being lost, as I felt my life flash before my eyes just now. I looked down at my mate with accusation in my eyes. Who knew how long she had been there, she could've fallen! I remember barking at her, yelling, asking why she hadn't gotten off her ass and saved our daughter. I can't remember the exact words, but I was not kind to my mate that day. She rolled her beautiful blue eyes at me, scoffed and asked me why she should care if she fell. I had never been so mad in my life. This was my pup she was talking about. 

“You ever put my daughter in danger again, EVER Shirly and I will reject you so fast your head will fucking spin. You will be out of my pack and back at that shit hole I found you and will never see our pup again! Is that clear?!” I screamed. I'm pretty sure the whole pack heard me, but I didn’t care. My pup is my bottom line. No one hurts my baby. She sighed, laid down and drank her cocktail like I hadn't spoken. She didn’t care. Even to this day, she is cold to Ren. It kills me, but what can I do? I know she loves her and just needs an opportunity to bond with Ren over something... anything. But Ren is an Alpha, born and bred. They had nothing in common. My baby was a workaholic, with a strong sole and a kind heart. She was a lot like me, with a few traits she inherited from my mother too. I am so proud of the woman she is becoming. 

I grabbed the gifts from the dresser in our suite and ran back downstairs. I had bought her a new laptop. Top of the line. A set of throwing knives. And four books she would love. She isn't your typical girly girl. She loves practical presents. Not shoes and hairpieces like some of the other Alpha daughters. My daughter is my biggest pride, and my ultimate bragging right when I go to the Alpha summits. They all cannot believe I raised such an amazing young woman. So strong. 

I place her gifts in the centre of the dining table with a smile. Shes outside. Shes always outside taking in the morning air at this time. She would be waiting for me to call her in. Normally, I wouldn’t, as I would be getting ready to train the warriors, but never does my princess eat breakfast alone on her birthday. So, she will be out there, waiting for me to tell her that the dining room is ready. I glace around, happy with the work the ladies had done. 

“Thank you so much ladies. You have all worked so hard this morning, and I am very grateful to you for helping with Rens birthday. You will all receive a bonus this month for all your hard work. Please, go and get some of the breakfast from the kitchen, and feel free to take some to your families.” I said and made my way out of the room. The ladies bowed slightly to me, with wide smiles. I heard mumbled ‘thank you's’ as I left. I always tried to rule with kindness and fairness. I had given them nothing they hadn't earned themselves. 

I wander out to the back garden and can see my mate with her arms around Ren. Weird. I'm glad they are getting along but, I don’t think I have ever seen them embrace each other. “Ren! Happy B...” I start, but then pause. There is a strong smell of iron in the air. My Alpha senses kicking into high gear at the danger that is around us. 

‘BLOOD’ My wolf, Spear tells me. 

‘WHERE!’ I bark at him. 

I see Ren turn in my mates' arms. I am slightly panicked that my mate refuses to let her go. Her piercing green eyes meet mine and I notice how pale she it. Her fair complexion has been completely washed out. Suddenly her eyes widen, and she collapses on the ground at my mates' feet. 

“Wha.... REN!” I scream. Barrelling across the garden to reach her, my mate backs away. I couldn’t give a fuck about her right now; my pup is injured. 

“GET THE PACK DOCTOR TO THE BACK OF THE PACK HOUSE IMMEDIATELY” I scream through the pack link. There is a round of ‘Yes, Alpha’ from my pack, and I head panicked feet pattering all over the place. Holding my bloody and beaten daughter in my arms, I scan her for injury. Suddenly, I see the handle of a knife sicking out of the back of my baby girl. Rage fills my body as I look up to see my mate... missing. WHAT THE FUCK. 

I saw my Beta, Delta and Gamma barrelling toward me as I sit on the grass holding my daughter and sending silent prayers to the moon Goddess to save my baby girl. 

“Ren...” My Beta, Mylo says on a sob. 

“What the fuck happened here Sam!” my Delta, Carson asks with anger in his eyes. He is extremely fond of my daughter. They have had an uncle/niece relationship all her life. I know he hopes his son is mated to her. I honestly... don’t. I don’t want to see my baby mated at all to be honest. 

“FIND MY FUCKING MATE NOW!” I scream. They look at me shocked. My gamma, Tom lowers his head. Did he have suspicions of something? Now isn't the time. I need their help.
