Alpha King POV

I have waited my entire life for my mate and this Alpha will not keep her from me. I  still don’t understand why our mate doesn’t have a wolf. Her wolf is there I know it, she reached out to me the other night. What have they done to my mate? I will find out and protect the future queen. No one and I mean no one will ever harm her again. As I paced back and forth these thoughts kept running through my head.

“Your grace the Alpha will see you now,” said a little petite Omega.

I simply nodded my head and rushed into his office. Alpha Alex sat at the desk with a worried expression on his face.

“As I stated before, I know my mate is here and I will not leave until I have her. She is the future Queen, and my men will stop at nothing until we have her with us. So, are you going to assist us in our search, or are we going to have a problem?’ I asked jumping straight to the point.

“Oh no, you will have us at  your disposal. We will help you find her. Our pack is overjoyed at the thought that our future queen is from our humble pack.” Replied Alpha Alex.

I didn’t like this guy, something about him seemed odd, kind of creepy. He is the only one of our kind to take on a second wife. His first Luna had fallen ill and instead of being by her side he beds his daughter’s best friend.

“Alright, summon everyone to meet in front of the pack house. And yes, even the omegas. We will find her soon.” I stated then walked out to meet my beta and best friend Eric.

“Keep a close eye on him and both the Lunas. I don’t trust this guy, and the longer we stay here the longer I want to rip his head off.”

“Bro, chill. We will find her. However, I do agree something is off here. Maybe we should ask the warlock to help.” Eric suggested.

“Ok do it. My wolf needs to go for a run. Something about today just isn’t sitting well for either of us.”

With the orders given I turn and head towards the woods. My wolf has been trying to contact our mate since that night but all we get back is white noise. Its almost as if her wolf vanished or is in a deep slumber.

‘I promise, I will take you away from this place mate.’ I thought to myself as I shifted into my solid white wolf.

Rebels’ POV

“Mom, am I really crazy?” I questioned as I followed her into the room.

“No, but we do not have much time. I have been holding information from you since you were just a child, I hope you understand. We wolves cannot break direct orders from our Alphas. However, there is a loophole since technically it is still staying within the family.”

I looked at her questionably as I followed her into her room. In the family, what was she talking about? Shrugging I knew I would just have to wait until she began the explaining.

“Almost 18 years ago I was given the honor to raise this beautiful baby girl. Her mother is Luna Amber, and from what I was told the father was her mate. Since the mate wasn’t a wolf, this union was shunned in our community by those who still follow the old rules. Her father is the king of magic, meaning this cub would be a hybrid. Both wolf and magic.” She paused allowing me to chew on the shocker of a confession.

“This child has been hunted down by her biological father, however the Luna refused to let her go. I never understood why she wouldn’t allow him to have their daughter when she clearly didn’t want her. Or so I always assumed. I watched her over the years a part of her loves her daughter but then there is a spiteful part that takes the majority. This side also believes the child caused her downfall as Luna to the Blood Moon pack and marriage to the late Alpha Trevor Teller.”

“So, I have a sister that I never met? You adopted her daughter, right? How come I never seen her, are you ashamed of this girl too?”

“No baby. She is my entire world.” She paused.

While I continued repeating what my mother had told me, something inside of me clicked.

“I’m the little girl?”

*BAM*

Before my mother could respond our front door was kicked in.

“Where are you  ? I told you it was an emergency!” Shouted Luna Amber.

We both looked at each other in shock as the Luna entered the room. Never in our wildest dreams would we expect a Luna to behave in this manner.

“I’m sorry Luna, I was making sure Rebel was ok. The rogue went after her.”

I noticed a small flicker of worry that quickly vanished with hatred. This action confirmed my earlier question, this witch is my mother, and the story was about me.

“That can wait this is more important!” She shouted while dragging my mother behind her.

I sat there allowing everything to sink in. Then as if I was trapped in a loop my mind kept going over every single memory it could. All the abuse and mistreatment. The way the Lunas kept staring at me watching me as I grew up. The way the Alpha always punished me worse than the other Omegas. All up till recently meeting the strange wolf and the stranger. If only he knew I was broken, maybe it’s a good thing he has a mate because he wouldn’t want me either. Now it all makes perfect sense as to why everyone treats me the way they always have. I have been unwanted since birth. A curse, a reminder of the past. I cannot stay here near this woman. I leave my mother a note where I knew only she could find it, and ran as fast as I can towards the cabin we built in case things got worse for me growing up. It was protected so the pack couldn’t come near. It would be safe.
