I hid behind a thick brush as I watched a male wolf stalk through the woods, praying that the brush is enough coverage for my fur as I look at the wolf prancing around the forest. I tremble in fear as I realize that he is twice my size and an alpha, for that matter, cause of his tall frame. His fur is as dark as midnight, and I struggle to keep my gaze on him as he blends into the shadows of the trees. I’ve been running the entire night and am barely trying to stay conscious.

I’ve been running the entire night and am barely trying to stay conscious; my paws feel sore, and I am sure they are filled with splinters as I haven’t transformed into my wolf for a long time. I try to move from my hiding spot, but I make a big mistake as I step on fallen leaves and make them rustle. I see the wolf stop, his ears straightening in alert. Fuck, I mumble, he heard it. I watch as he sniffs the air. I try to make one last effort to stay hidden as I lower myself into the ground.

I can't run as I am so tired, and he is very close to where I have hidden and would catch me in seconds. All I can do is wait while praying to the moon goddess that he won't find me. Suddenly, I feel that someone is watching me, I look up and catch his amber eyes glaring straight into me. He found me. He looks at me over the brushes but doesn’t attack. He transforms suddenly and I watch as he changes into his humanoid figure before me.

I questioned all I knew about alphas. I always thought that Alpha Eric was tall as he stood at 6,8 feet, but this alpha puts him to shame as he is way taller than Alpha Eric. I am thankful that the brush covers half of his body because he stood over me in his birthday suit, and I am not ready to see his complete package at our first meeting. I tried to evade his gaze as it felt as if he was piercing into my soul. I see his broad shoulders and chiseled jaw. I try to make out his face, but I can't see much. I know his human form is just as good-looking as his wolf form.

You shouldn’t be here, he says. Do you know where you are? He asks again, I shake my head to respond as I am still in my wolf form because I am too embarrassed to transform in front of him. You are at sliver moon pack territory, little Wolfie. I shiver as he mentions the name of the pack. This wolf is from the Silver Moon Pack; he would probably kill me if he found out I am from the Blood Moon Pack. The bad blood between the two packs runs deep. At Blood Moon Pack, Patrol guards are trained to kill Sliver Moon Pack members at sight, and I am pretty sure Sliver Moon is no different.

Which pack do you come from; he asks; “midnight pack?” I shake my head.

Silent moon? I shake my head again.

Blood moon?” he spits, his voice filled with venom and resentment; I almost nod my head but catch myself. So, where are you from? What are you then? A rogue? He says, eyeing me skeptically. I nod my head as answering as a rogue doesn’t seem bad at this moment. The previous movement of shaking my head made me feel woozy, and I suddenly felt a throbbing pain at the back of my head.

I whine in pain, sinking into the ground, and my sight suddenly goes blurry. I still try to gaze on him trying to find out what he would do next. Would he kill me? Or would he spare me? I don’t think I am much of a threat, considering I am a skinning omega and not much of a fight, but most packs hated rogues and would kill them at sight, and I am sure that this pack is no different from the rumors I heard at my pack about their bloodlust.

While these thoughts go around in my head, I suddenly feel strong arms around me, picking me up from the ground. I try to stay conscious as I am being carried against a firm chest to find out where we are going, but I fail cause I am too tired.

  • The Alpha's mate   chapter 3

    I wake up, realizing that am in a medical facility of some sort, I’ve never been to one before but from what I see about hospitals on television, it looks like a medical facility. I lay on a white bed trying to re-collect my memories and know where I am. The throbbing pain in my head has lessened. I try to stand up but my head feels floaty for some reason, I notice that an IV has been run through my right hand.A nurse walks in and notices that I am awake. How are you feeling now? She asks walking toward me. “Am f- fine” I manage to croak out as my throat feels dry. “w-where am I?” “Who brought me here”? “How did I get here” I ramble on feeling nervous. “Calm down, I will answer all your questions”. You are in the hospital of Silver Moon pack. The alpha’s son brought you in.The nurse suddenly looks nervous, “The head alpha is on his way, I have to tell him about the pack mark on your shoulder” My heart drops, how could I have forgotten about the crescent moon on the top right side of

    I talked to Alpha Ralph some more, after which I admitted I was an orphan, and we left the pack’s hospital together. He leads me to his home, and he says I will stay with him. I admired his large Spanish-styled house. I admired the flowers and fountains around the house. He led me into the house, I was expecting him to either lead me to the backyard or servants' quarters. But he takes me to a large room, fully furnished, with the softest-looking bed I have ever seen, a walk-in closet, and a bookshelf.It was an actual room, which I had all to myself. I look at him in disbelief. I can't believe he is letting me stay here. He tells me not to tell anyone that I am from the Blood Moon pack, that no one should see my pack's mark on my shoulder, and if anyone asks to tell them that I am an orphan whom he took in from one of their distant allies. This was better than staying in my pack. I just hope that Alpha Eric will not find me.Alpha Ralph lets me settle in; I look at the room in awe, lo

  • The Alpha's mate   chapter 5

    Ralph kept his promise of putting me in school. I’m excited about going to school because alpha Ericstopped me from going to school. He said there was no use for me going to school, as I wouldn’t get smarter. I was worried that Ralph would be disappointed if the school rejected me for not being smart enough. Alpha Ralph noticed that I was nervous.” Willow, You are going to school to learn in the first place; they won't judge you for not being smart.” He reassures me.I still feel uneasy, but I follow Alpha Ralph to the main office of the pack’s high school to enroll. I get my schedule. Alpha Ralph stops and suddenly says,” willow, I want to you know that you deserve this; every kid deserves an education. I feel so emotional, getting choked up as tears fill my eyes. T-thank you, Alpha Ralph,” I say as I clean up the tears that have poured down my cheeks. His eyes soften as he caresses my cheeks,” You don’t have to thank me, little Wolfie; I am just doing what I am to do. And just call

    We pulled up into the school's parking lot, and everyone was staring at the car. I was greeted by the curious eyes of several students. I felt nervous as I came down from the car; I kept my head down, hating the overwhelming attention I was getting. I watched as Dameon drove off without even offering any farewell. I don’t know why they kept staring at me, but it probably had to do with Dameon dropping me off.I fumbled to get my schedule out of my pocket, my hands shaking as I checked what I had for my first period: room 245, biology. I try to locate my class and find out where I am in the school, looking down my schedule as I walk on. I bump into someone, stumbling back, trying to hold myself so that I won't fall.“ watch where you are going to.”I look with eyes wide open as I stare at who I have bumped into; it is a mean-looking alpha with two lackeys beside him. He glares at me as I stutter to apologize.Suddenly, someone came up behind me, a female omega with blond hair; she help

    I was so glad when the bell finally rang; I rushed out of the class, wanting to get away from Adam as soon as possible. I saw Lia down in the hallway near her locker with an omega who was about the same height as me, with olive skin and braids that streamed down her shoulders. Lia saw me, waved me over, and introduced the girl to me as Brianna. Brianna greeted me warmly; she was soft-spoken, unlike Lia, who had a loud personality.I was kind of nervous as we walked into the cafeteria, which was full of kids who were jostling and bumping into the three of us as we made our way to our table. Brianna exclaims as Lia tells her that I was the omega Dameon dropped off this morning “So, Dameon driving you to school, you so lucky,” she gushes.I shake my head disappointedly. “ I think he hates me,” Lia reaches for my hand and squeezes it. " That can be true, Willow; why would he?” she asks.I could not say that it was because I was from the enemy pack. “ I don’t know; maybe he finds me annoy

    Chapter  8I waited outside the house the following day for Dameon to show up and pick me up for school. When he arrived, I shyly waved at him, trying to be polite, but he ignored me as he rolled down the window, not even bothering to look at me. “get in.”So much for trying to be polite, he is such a jackass, but I try not to let him ruin my mood.“ Good morning,” I say as I climb into the car, flashing a polite smile at him. He doesn’t even bother to reply to me as he eyes my bag“What do you have in there?” he asks as he notices my bag is filled to the brim.“ Books,” I say, trying to explain to him that my teacher had asked us to bring in our textbooks“You look ridiculous having that around your back. I'm so glad I'm done with school,” he smirks.I put in offense at the comment, slightly ticked off by his comment. “I’m just trying to be studious, unlike some people,” I say, mumbling the last path under my breath, hoping he hadn’t heard me“What d

    When I got to the restroom, Lia was already panting with hands on her knees.Did you run all the way here? I ask in concern as I approach.“ yea, I did; I need to know that the fucking retard called Adam did!” she says as she puts her hands on my shoulders, shaking me lightly with an urgent look on her face“Hmm, he just tried to grab my legs, but I got up before he could and asked to go to the bathroom.”Her brows creased in disgust. “ that’s gross, Willow. I would have said we should report this to the counseling unit, but they won't do anything.”“Why?” I ask in confusion.“Because he did the same thing to me, and they didn’t even lift a finger,” Brianna says as she appears from nowhere, making Lia and I jump.“ fuck! Brianna. I told you to stop doing that; you are going to give someone a heart attack soon.” Lia says as she puts her hands on her chest, clutching her heart.“Sorry, love,” Brianna says as she leans on the wall, looking unapologetic,

    I breathed out an enormous sigh of relief. When I got home, I was so scared that I would be punished for ditching class, but Dameon did not tell Ralph about it. If Alpha Eric had caught me doing something like that, he would’ve beaten me black and blue, but here I faced no punishment. I felt guilty because I’d been bad, but the fear that Ralph would be disappointed in me overcame the guilt because I couldn’t bring myself to confess to Ralph.I was about to shower when I heard my phone ring. I looked at the screen to see that Lia was calling and picked up the call. “Hello?”“Willow, we are so sorry for leaving you!” she says apologetically, and I hear Brianna saying sorry in the background. “ Dameon was giving us ‘ get the fuck out of here vibes!”I laughed in amusement. “It’s okay. He didn’t punish me or report me to Ralph.”“Really? But you said he hated you?”“ well…I think for a moment. He did seem angry with me at the docks. Wasn’t happy.”“Ohh, what did

    “ My pleasure,  let me get your present,” he left the room for a second, coming back with a box wrapped in pink.“Oh, you did not have to,” I said, trying to hold back my tears.“ Open it,” he said, encouraging me.So I did, pulling the wrapping off and bringing out a dark blue hoodie from Forever 21  that I literally wanted for a while now. “ Oh my gosh! Ho-how did you know?”He looked a bit sheepish, scratching the back of his head. “ I may have had a little help from your friends.”I immediately put it on, seeing that it fits perfectly. I spin in a circle for him, “ it fits perfectly!” I exclaimedI hugged him. “ Thank you, this is the best gift ever.”“ I'm so glad you like it, I was scared that I got you the wrong size.We finished breakfast happily, talking about our week, this was the first time in weeks I was genuinely happy. As we were doing the dishes, I suddenly heard a car honking outside. I ran to the porch to see who it was, I giggled as

    When I woke up to an empty bed, I felt my heart drop, thinking that I dreamt it all up. I quickly got out of bed, spotting a little note on my nightstand. The writing on it was messy; it read: good morning sweetie, had a morning call, will see you later, with a funny face drawn beside it. I found myself smiling as I pulled out my phone to text him, taking a picture of the note and sending it to him.Me: you could have just texted meAlmost immediately he replies Dameon: I could have, but I guessed you would love the note.Me: I do I added a heart emoji to my message, giggling.  I felt like I was floating, I loved what I was feeling. Then I remembered that I had to go back to school as my suspension had ended. I quickly got ready for school.I wore a knitted striped sweater with jeans, humming to myself as I got ready.School was the usual whispers and stares, just that this time, it wasn't about what Felix did to me, but about what I did to Adam.

    I felt my stomach drop as I followed his gaze, “Oh, th- this are–” I tore myself from his embrace, rushing over to the table to grab them, blocking his view from them. I scooped them from the table so that I could put them somewhere else where he wouldn't see them, but one of the bottles fell and loudly clattered to the floor.I felt my face get hot as I bent to pick it up, “ shit, can this day get any worse,”  I muttered under my breath.But then Dameon is next to me; he gently grabs my arm, retraining me from picking the bottle up, “Willow, stop,” he said.“ But. I- I do- don't want you to–” My voice trembled, and I was mortified as I started sobbing.“ Hey, Hey, it's going to be okay,” he said as he pulled me off the floor, putting his arms around my waist and knees as he lifted me up, carrying me to the bed. “ what going on?” he asked as he set me down on the bed, sitting down beside me before bringing me into his embrace.The tenderness and questions made me

    During one of my depressive episodes, Ralph came to see me after I had rejected the third meal of the day refusing to eat anything.“ Why aren't you eating?” He asked me as I lay in bed turning my face away from him“ cause I'm not hungry,”“ You are a growing teenager and you need all the nutrients you can get. You need to eat,”I did not reply. He sighs at my silence, clearly already fed up with my attitude. “ You need to see a doctor, Willow. This behavior…its-its not normal,”I curl into myself and tighten my arms around myself. The thought of leaving the comfort of my room for some stranger to evaluate me sounded terrible. Does he think I'm crazy? Is that why he wants me to see some shrink?I turned to look at him, “ you think that I am not normal?”“ No! No, that is not what I meant.” He tried to explain, “You need help, Willow, I– I just want you to get better, and I don't think I am the right person to help to do that.”I hated the way he was speaking to me. Like I was some

    I almost thought that he wasn't going to say anything until we got inside that house. I realized that Dameon was also there, sitting on the sofa. “ Dameon, I thought I asked double to go home,” Ralph's voice was on the edge.“What happened?” Dameon asked as he ignored him looking past him, his eyes reaching me.Ralph shakes his head in growing irritation,  turning back to me. “ why did you do that, Willow? Turning to violence is unlike you. I mean, I would expect it from Dameon but not from you.”I wanted to hide as he raised his voice at me. “ I-I didn't mean to!” I said, trying to defend myself. “ He was spreading rumors around and just saying stuff a- and–”He did not let me finish before cutting me off“ Did he throw the first punch?”“ No, but he–”I was already getting walked up that he wasn't letting me defend myself,“ Then why the hell did you do it?!” He asked raising his voice more, he looked furious “ He upset me and he was spreading

    Adam's friend looked alarmed, and he quickly retreated down the stairs and out of sight, but not before mumbling that he would see Adam later. Adam just crossed his arms giving me a condescending smile. “ You know eavesdropping isn't classy. But I guess, what do you expect from a slut”“ Don't you dare call me that, your brother assaulted me!” “Assaulted you! You were asking for it, with what you wore to the game. That's right I saw you dressed all pretty” I thought back to what I wore to the game, I had worn a crop top and jeans. But I knew it didn't matter what I wore, he would have come after me no matter what I had worn. “ You are very disgusting, you and your brother,” I snapped back. “ And I hope he never wakes up from that coma!”I watched as he went red from anger “Watch your mouth, you little bitch.” He growled as he approached me. Before I could move away, he grabbed me, pulling me towards him. I flinch at the feeling, remembering how his brother had grabbed me that night.

    “Have you had any sleep, Dameon?”I asked, caressing his cheek, tracing the eye bags that were underneath his eyes. “ you need to sleep.”His jaws clenched, “ I couldn't sleep, not after what he did to you.”“I am okay now.” I tried to reason with him.“ No, you not,” he took in a deep breath, “look at what he did to you, look at what he did to your face,” he growled, “ and him trying to force himself on you- I should have killed that bastard, fuck!”“ No Damoen!, the beating you gave him was enough,” I said, warning him, as his eyes started to glow, giving way to his wolf side. I held his hands trying to calm him down. I just wanted to get the day over with and forget about the night event.“ It's really over now, okay?” I whispered as our forehead touched.He clenched his fists as we looked at each other, and I saw the effort he was using to hold himself back from storming out of my room to finish what he had started with Felix. “ I will make sure he will ne

    “I was scared, Willow. At that moment I knew something was wrong. We thought that maybe Dameon had picked you up, and one of Jake's teammates had his number and called him, asking if you were with him. He said no; Jake's teammate had to explain how we had been looking for you for over an hour. Dameon sent scouts from his team to look for you. He showed up in school in less than 15 minutes after we called and you should have seen him, Willow. He looked like he was going to murder someone after we explained what had happened. He did not waste any time and said he would track you down,n, and he just sped off in his car. We got a text from Ralph since he had our numbers in case of emergency, saying that Dameon had found you and that you were in the hospital. So we drove down here and waited till you woke up.” Lia explained as she took in a deep breath. “I can't believe you guys did all that for me” I, said biting my lips to prevent myself f

    I was about to scream at him to stop again when I heard the window shattering, and the car door near Felix was ripped off. The sound of it crashing onto the tarred ground was deafening.  His brows creased in confusion for a moment before he was violently pulled off of me and dragged out of the car. I watched in shock as he was thrown down on the ground, and a familiar figure descended on him.Dameon rains down punch after punch on him, beating him into a pulp until his face is unrecognizable from all the blood on it. He did not stand a chance, moaning in pain as he tried to put up his hands in defense. Dameon looked more enraged than I had ever seen him. His face was distorted by anger as he kept on going.I whimper in pain, trying to get his attention.  I did not want to see it like that. “ Da-meon,” I cried out to him, tears streaming down my face.  He stops, snapping out of his rage-filled haze to look at me. Our eyes met, and I realized how disheveled I looked,
