All Chapters of The Alpha's Surprise Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Azalea The SUV bounced down the dark road as I stared out hte window, frowning at the forest around us. I sat in the back, my backpack sitting forgotten on my lap as I contemplated what had gotten me to this point. Just last month I'd been at work waiting tables when my mom called. I shrugged it off at first, firguring she just needed me to pick something up on my way home. But then my mom kept calling. So I finally answered. "What's so important that-" "Run," my mom said, sounding scared and frantic. "Run and don't stop. You know what to do," she said before hanging up. Shit, I thought, wiping my now sweaty palms on my faded and torn jeans. I walked quickly to the front, looking around for my boss. "I quit," I said, handing my apron to him before heading out the door. He called out to me, but I didn't have time to waste. I jumped in my beige Honda Civic and pulled out of the parking lot at top speed. I knew that meant that my father had tracked me down again. For th

Azalea So here I was, sitting in the SUV with my father, mere miles from the school. A few weeks had passed since he had caught me and taken me back to Texas. I had outright refused to go onto pack lands and meet his people, so he had put me up at a hotel nearby. He had taken me shopping for a new wardrobe and all the things I would need for school as well as a few extras. I knew he was trying to make up for everything and I figured why not let him? I hadn't had many new things or much of anything while we were on the run so it was a nice feeling. He had set me up with a bank account as well and would be putting monthly allowance deposits in it for me as long as I attended school as an extra incentive. My father told me about 'our' family - I had an older brother who was training at the Alpha Academy near my school and a younger sister who was attending school with me - only two years behind me. I told him about all the cities we had been to and all the things that we had got

I stopped by my room and grabbed my empty back pack so I could bring some things back with me from the snack bar. I had no idea what they would have, but I didn't want to have to keep going down when I was hungry or thirsty. I walked slowly to the cafeteria, which sat in the middle behind the main office and the auditorium. I was surprised when I walked in through the doors. Off to one side was coolers and coolers filled with all kinds of drinks and cold snacks - like pudding and yogurt and ice cream as well as fruits and vegetables. There was a huge rack next to them that contained other fruits and vegetables as well as what looked like fresh baked goods. There were also shelves stacked with single serve snacks like pop tarts and chips. On the other side was what looked like a full buffet. A lot of it was shut down now because there weren't that many people on campus just yet. There was an area to leave your dishes and a rack that held to go containers as well as what looked

The nurse came in and quickly drew the blood before doing all the normal doctor stuff- height, weight, blood preasure, etc. Then Dr. Malone returned and asked me about my first shift - what it was like and verified my age. "Ok," the doctor said, "I'm going to close the curtain and I want you to go ahead and shift. I'm going to time you so let me know when you start and come out when you're done." I quickly got undressed, placing my cothes on the table before calling out to the doctor. Less than a minute later I peaked my snout out from behind the curtain and actually startled the doctor. "That was fast, under a minute," Dr. Malone said, writing on the chart in her hands. "I'm going to open the curtain so we can get some measurements on you." I stepped aside gingerly, not liking the feel of cold tile under my paws. The doctor frowned at me and reached out to ruffle my fur. "You have very unusual coloring for a wolf and are a little on the small side. Has your wolf always b

Azalea After he left I decided to grab a shower and a nap. I was mentally and physically exhausted. I woke up hours later and realized it was well past dusk. I glanced at my phone and saw it was almost 9pm. I hoped they would still have dinner warm so I hurriedly threw on a hoodie over my tank top and capris and slid my feet into a pair of wedges before hurrying to the cafeteria. Tonight was Mexican, one of my favorites, and luckily it was still warm. i loaded up some to go containers and grabbed a soda before heading back to my room. There I grabbed a flashlight and a towel and headed back to the roof. I loved being up there at night as it was quiet and peaceful. I ate dinner and quietly sang along to my favorite tunes. I must have fallen asleep again at some point and woke up to the sun not quite creeping up the horizon. I checked the time on my phone - I still had plenty of time for breakfast and figured I'd see what the cafeteria had to offer. I went quickly back to
