From the day i was born my mother always told me i was a fireball, but she never knew at the age of fifteen that i would become not only the first of our kind to attain the power of fire but the only of our kind that didn't shift into a lycan but instead some type of hybrid of a hellhound and a werewolf but also coming with the ability to manipulate fire. some called it a gift but to me it was a burden no matter where i went my entire life I've been one big ball that people just can't seem to understand, It also didn't help that i could care less to help them understand either.
I've been alpha of my pack since i was sixteen that was about the time when the last war between the humans in the forbidden had last happened, also the last time my father stood as alpha . That was the day they stripped his title by death and because of my duty as the next in line as Alpha i was forced to take over , some gift huh , if only it had saved my father." Alpha " my beta Jonathan called interrupting me out of my angry thoughts, I could tell by the frustrated look on his face that whatever he had to say couldn't be good." what have you done now Jonathan" i growled out , don't get me wrong he's my beta and he was definitely my only friend but sometimes he could get him and me in alot of mess." trust me i wish this was me but it's not , something is up with gloria she's been having visions since around five this morning , she won't stop demanding that you come " he yelled out raising his hands showing me he meant business." take me to her now " i said tightly, he left no time to waste within seconds he had lead me to our temple.Gloria had been our only seer for years since she tumbled onto our lands, she said she had traveled from the islands with just her and her daughter when the humans slaughtered all of her people, she was a kind women so my father took her in from then on she has protected my family from any unseen future's, and it was my duty as alpha of this pack to make sure no harm came to her , just as she would do us." gloria " i cried out rushing to her side, My mother sat not to far from her with tears running down her eyes ,gloria was practically a best friend to her and a great aunt to me." son something isn't right , she hasn't had a vision in years since she came unto our lands " my mother cried out desperately grasping Gloria's hands.I turned to look at gloria to see her staring at me intentionally with all of her energy" tell me gloria how can we help you " i said desperately. "Find her "she said shakily"" thank you for saving me and showing me that i could have a family again" she said weakly looking at all of us in pain.I couldn't understand what she meant , who is she , and what could she mean by find her "I don't understand find who gloria " i said grabbing her hand." you will know when you find her you need to go now " she rushed out gasping for her breath" please help her " my mother screamed at our healer maverick." what else can we do, she's our family she has a daughter she's away on a pick up maybe she knows something to help her mother maybe a old remedy I don't know but we will figure this out " i said ordering the healer to do anything he could to lessen whatever pain gloria was going through until we could figure this out." I'll do what i can do Alpha but this is not a medical issue that i can just fix, this is supernatural I believe that whatever vision gloria had has somehow allowed her mind to start eating at her body from the inside out almost as if she was poisoned from whatever dark magic that was used inside of her vision " Maverick explained trying to help me understand how deep this matter actually was." okay no worries i will get on this just please let me know if anything new pops up i need to keep track of this oh and if she mentions that girl tell me right away " I ordered to Maverick before signaling to Jonathan to follow me to the pack house." so what do you think about the girl she mentioned" Jonathan questioned the moment we made it back to the training grounds." I don't know but something tells me things are about to get bad " i said crossing my arms pausing for a moment." i need you to do something for me " i said looking at Jonathan. He stopped walking to turn around in listen to me " I'm your beta i would die for you stop beating around the bush what's wrong " he said instantly." I haven't shifted in awhile and i might lose control again i need you to promise that if shit goes left you will handle it as my beta and not as my best friend " i said sternly." pshhh look dude if you're asking me to kill you I'll do it in my sleep i still haven't forgot how you ate my last slice of pizza " he joked , but i could tell behind the laughter he knew i was serious." just give me your word " i said tightly, it wasn't that I didn't believe him it's that i knew him and deep down We both knew this subject has always been touchy for him we was practically brothers he lost his entire family, i had my mother all he had was me." i need your word Jonathan " i repeated again waiting for his answer." fine you have my word " he said walking towards the forest. The pack house was around 5 minutes from where gloria stayed in that was just walking in normal speed , using my powers from my beast i could make it there in less than a minute.We had a okay size pack that consisted of warriors, wolves, elementals and a few vampires who signed a alliance. But we were powerful in all the right areas and most importantly familyWalking up to the pack house , seeing the people I've been around my entire life I couldn't help but get defensive to anything that may come. I didn't know what to trust or what we were up against i just knew we couldn't take Gloria's warning lightly." Jonathan before we call this meeting i want you to take a few guards in do a perimeter check , I don't know maybe its my intuition but somethings off " i said concentrating. Even my beast was off , he was anxious and on edge" mind link me if you catch anything suspicious " i said,i got ready to head inside the pack house in up the stairs into my office once i saw that Jonathan nodded his head in acknowledgement.I needed to check with the other packs to make sure nobody has crossed the boundary line into the forest.All i could think about was who was this girl that gloria spoke of and why was she so important, why did i need to find her.Something about finding her thrilled my beast in for a moment I couldn't help but wonder if maybe she was the one I've been hoping for, my other half, My mate."Okay this is the best were going to get i guess " lily said yarning tiredly. We had been walking for hours in all we had managed to find was nothing, complete nothingness. I couldn't help but wonder what we could be missing it seemed like it would take us ages to find this pack i apparently came from, what signs were we even supposed to be looking for. I could feel myself all a sudden getting agitated with the queens games," do you think maybe we aren't seeing it because we just don't want to " i said openly, " I don't know about you but I definitely want to find this pack " she snorted while stuffing her sack behind her head to rest on. " you know what i mean " i said rolling my eyes , " maybe we need to think inside the box , I'm apparently this monster with powers right, so how about in the morning we test that logic out. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough " i said out loud more so to myself , " look first thing in the morning if
" No you LISTEN i need to know every name of every female wolf who has entered your land within the past week " i ordered to alpha darren into my phone " look here pup I don't know what boundaries you're trying to cross but i owe you no explanation " darren said before i heard the line disconnect."Arghhhh " i said slamming my head onto my desk like I've done for the past seven years since taking over my pack as alpha. I could tell by the complete silence following the footsteps that walked up to my desk that Jonathan was indeed laughing at me, " i think the last person who we should be expecting a war from is alpha darren , you know he just loves to get a rise out of you and i see it worked " Jonathan said to amused obviously by the pain i was causing to myself. " it would help if you could maybe provide the information on the task i gave you " i said while pinching the bridge of my nose. "I checked the boundary lines over twenty times not to
I could feel my body heating up the more we walked through the forest, we had been walking in circles for a hour. Not finding munch but a endlessness of trees I had taken my coat off long ways back my body could obviously stand the cold now, unlike lily who was shivering away next to me. "It's obvious that something isn't quite right about this forest, or were you just waiting for me to say it" i insisted looking at lily. Before either of us could get out another reply a huge beast like creature tore through the tree's completely missing the sight of us at first,"Veronica run now " lily screamed yanking at me to turn back towards the way we had came. I couldn't move though, i was petrified I couldn't stop staring at the glowing red eyes , the way it turned around in incredible speed to snarl at me. It looked exactly like a wolf but three times the size it's fur was the exact color of pure black , anyone could tell the damage this monster had
I didn't imagine that the moment i closed my eyes i would instantly wake up but i did, I just never imagined that i would wake up to the most beautiful sleeping man I've ever seen, but it wasn't his fiery hair that reeled me in, it was the way my body and mind instantly felt connected to his as if my whole body was humming with this invisible energy i could feel connecting us, I don't know what made me feel so sure but i was positive this had to be the man the moon goddess had spoken of , my mate. Everything sounded so much louder or maybe it was the immaculate hearing i had managed to gain , but the sound of over hundreds could be heard letting me know that i wherever i was did in fact have a lot of people. But that couldn't distract me from the fact that i knew that this man was my mate,Looking around I slowly set up taking in my surroundings trying not wake the sleeping man while i was at it. "I'm glad to see you're okay" a deep voice
I could feel my beast get restless the more i pacedI just couldn't get her out of my mind, My body was fighting against every single instinct my beast was having. The moment he saw her through my eyes it was enough to send him in a spiral, enough to almost make me lose control again. The way she looked at us told us everything we needed to know. She could feel the bond, I could tell from the bond itself that she had a million questions. I also could tell she wasn't a rogue but not exactly human either meaning she had to be the girl that gloria told me i was meant to find. But never did i ever imagine she would be my mate, " ughh what is wrong with me" i yelled to myself in frustration, i had been waiting all my life for this one moment; I couldn't fuck this up. I hadn't thought about how much of a prick i must have looked rushing out of there like that, of course she needs me with her, why wouldn't she ? I'm her mate i knew she could feel the bond just as much as i could. "okay
Talking to the healer had eased my thoughts about my mate not being interested in me, not to mention seeing lily over these past few days have helped me more than i knew it would. Every since the healer gave me the green light they moved me and lily to the medical house until they was positive we were healed up. But i knew deep down it was to keep us under surveillance cause obviously they still couldn't fully trust us yet, but no matter how much i tried to not think about all the events that had happened; i couldn't help but let my mind wander over all the possibilities, or questions that rose the moment we arrived here. I just couldn't get him out of my head, i don't know if it was the meds but i even was beginning to smell him Causing me to sit up in the bed sniffing for that intoxicating earthy smell. "Find anything" i heard a deep voice say jokingly and If it wasn't for the bond enlightening me that it was my mate i would have been shocked by the sudden intrusion."Omgforfuc
On the outside i know i looked calm but on the inside every single part of me was burning to mark my mate as mines in take her far away from here, But leaving my pack was the most distasteful thing a alpha could ever do I couldn't abandon them when they trusted me to protect them. I had to inform the pack of their new luna that was the only way they would accept her, everyone had to be able to trust her and the moment they knew she was my mate they would with no exceptions. Having a luna was one of the most important parts of a pack, they would love her just as i do. Then we could confront the issue with the council, As all these thoughts ran through my mind I couldn't help wondering what details my mate was keeping from me. Even without the bond i knew it was something she wasn't telling me, i also couldn't help but wonder about the main questions; who was her parents?"What are you hiding mate" i whispered out loud to the forest, Whatever it was i knew that it was important to he
The last thing i was looking forward to today was training, but unfortunately that was the first thing that woke me up this morning; That and well you know who."Veeeeeee wakeee up" lily cooed in my ear, leave it to her to disturb me from my peace every single morning. "Go the fuck away" i yelled pushing her off of me."You only get three more passes doing that" lily said grumpily from the floor i had pushed her down on."Says the one who woke me up from my beautiful sleep" i shot back before rolling over to sit up in bed,"What's with the in person alarm shit this morning anyway" i said yawning before stretching after being sleep for about ten hours top. "Um i don't know maybe the training we've been talking about for over three weeks, i mean At least i have experience but you on the other hand" she said taunting me. "Is that so" i said with a sneaky smirk on my face."No" she said with horror before turning around to make a run for it out the door, but before she could make it ou
