Alpha Kawan Wolleson

Chapter 3

Kawan took my stuff from my mother, my sister stood behind her afraid of Kawan. My mother didn’t say anything but I knew she was surprised that it wasn’t Liam who was walking besides me. He had finally put me down after carrying me past all the staring eyes.

“Have you seen Liam?” I asked Mom.

“He left, sweetie.” She tells me, smiling tightly. Like I had embarrassed her. Which I don’t understand how, my mother should be proud. I was chosen by someone, other than Liam. That probably would have embarrassed her, my best friend since we were diapers, the only person who wanted me.

At least a powerful Alpha wanted me, even though I didn’t know why. “Let’s go,” Kawan snaps from behind me, making me jump.

“Goodbye Mom.” I say to her.

“Don’t mess this up Keres you're not allowed back.” My mother warned just as Kawan was dragging me away. Her words hurt and I could feel tears in my eyes as I watched her take my sisters hand and took her away.

This would be my last memory of my family, my dad not being here to meet the man who claimed me as his mate, my mother embarrassed of me, and my sister not being able to look me in the eyes, as Kawan took me to his car to pick me to his pack, I would be Luna. I didn’t know anything about being Luna. I never had to think about it because I never thought I would be picked by an Alpha.

Kawan opened the car door, before forcing me into the seat I didn’t fight him. I was afraid what he would do if I disobeyed him. I knew nothing about him. Kawan got in the driver's seat, I couldn’t look anywhere but out the window not looking at the trees, or roads or whatever that was going past, as I cried my heart out. Why was I born weak? Why didn’t my mother care that a powerful Alpha chose me? Why did Kawan choose me?

“Stop crying,” Kawan snaps at me, sometime later. I don’t know how long we’d been driving for.

At this time I started to notice the roads, and traffic and I suddenly was scared we would crash into a tree, Kawan drove the car like a madman. He weaved out of traffic, and turning sharply I didn’t notice the first couple of times. When the traffic started to disappear he went about 95 in a 75. I held on to the door, Kawan looked at me once and suddenly we were slowing down. The car went over the speed limit but he wasn’t going 95 anymore.

I stared at him as he drove, my life would never be the same. I knew Kawan would want me to grow to be strong so I could help give him the best babies. I wondered how long he would let me until he wanted me to mate with him and carry his children.

“Why?” I blurred out, staring at my hands as my face turned red.

Kawan looked at me once, I saw out of the corner of my eye, before sighing. “I never wanted a mate, that has always been clear. I think of my mother and how she would hate that I was alone, so every year I go. I look at all the females, some throw themselves at me as if that’ll make me choose them. You running into me was different, you didn’t look at me like all those other girls. You didn’t smell like desire.”

Kawan’s mother? I think to myself I never heard stories of her so I didn’t know if she was dead or alive. I didn’t ask and Kawan didn’t explain more about her.

“You picked me because I didn’t throw myself at you?” I asked.

He laughs a little. “No you threw yourself at me but you didn’t do it because you wanted me.”

I bite the inside of my cheek to keep from smiling. He had a nice laugh. I thought it was cute but I didn’t think he would like me saying so. “I tripped,” I told him instead.

“Whatever you say,” Kawan says.

We don’t say anything for a while until I start to notice the trees thicken. I hated new places, I knew sleeping tonight would probably be out of the question. My heart began to beat into my rib really hard. I felt my hands begin to shake slightly.

“Calm down,” Kawan says to me. I do everything I can to not glare at him in fear he’d backhand me for the disrespect.

Telling me to calm down wouldn’t help anything. “Stop,” he snapped at me, I flinched in fear. I wish it were that easy. I shake with the anxiety of being in an unfamiliar place, with fear that Kawan would hurt me, with the fact I knew nothing about him.

Kawan softened his voice. “Please don’t be upset. My pack will respect you.”

He was being so kind, but what happens when he gets tired of my behavior? Like my mother did? Would he avoid me? Would he lock me away from his pack and pretend I wasn’t his mate? Would he just keep me around so I could bear him children?

I let out a sigh of relief, as Kawan parked the car in front of a small wood cottage house, it wasn’t anything special, just made of wood that looked like it had just been cut down and stacked on top of each other. It had large trees in the front of the house, and some shadows of trees could be seen from the back of the house.

“The rest of the pack is a little further behind my house, I had it built so it would look like there was no one here but my house.” Kawan explains to me. I could see he was telling me because I kept trying to see if I could see any other houses.

“Oh, cool.” I muttered.

Kawan got out of the car, I was about to open the door when he snapped out; “wait.”

I stopped, frozen in place. I heard Kawan shut his door, and when my door suddenly opened I flinched. He stared at me for a moment, I could feel his eyes on me, as I stared at my hands not looking at him. Suddenly I was being lifted up, I made a noise of surprise.

He lifted me up out of the car, and carried me into his house like I was a princess. I was surprised he could lift me, I wasn’t actually as light as I looked but that didn’t seem to bother him. And in that moment it was sweet and I wasn’t afraid.
