The Leopard's Journey

Chapter 7: Mate#1 Grayson

**Willow POV**

After they came and got my mother, my dad had explained to the alpha as to what I was. He had explained to him that around the association of cats having 9 lives, they get chances at 9 potential mates.

"Me being one." He says suddenly as I start purring at even the slightest look at me, my fathers eyes widening...

"Well.. I- I'm not really sure on what to say to that.." my dad stutters out, uncomfortable at the situation he had been put in.

"Don't worry sir, I'll reject her, I am NOT going to have a cat as a mate." He said sternly, coldness in his voice "they take rejection better than wolves that's why they get 9 mate potentials." He explained, as the anger once again rises into my dad, he takes the alpha by the collar, and throws him out causing both their wolves to come out, both of them howling.

The whole pack had came, to watch as my dad challenged the great alpha, if my father wins he is out in alpha position and Grayson will have to find a new pack willing to take him in. I look over the crowd and see wolves, a lion and... and a leopard. Quickly I turn my eyes to the fight about to take place. There's nothing I can do now.

**Victor POV**

My wolf growling and growing in size at the amount of anger inside of my body from him just bluntly saying he'd reject my daughter, and for what, for being a cat?! f**k you b***h, that's my damn daughter and she WILL NOT be treated or talked to like she is lesser than the likes of you!

My wolf, Jason growling in agreement. Grayson lunging forward, as I bring my jaw up clamping on his throat. His wolf whimpering out in pain, as I easily spin him around before letting him go, tossing him easily into the air as he hits a tree, letting out another long yet morningful yelp as he limps away. The pack bowing their heads to their new alpha. Me nodding in pride.

I started howling, a mixture of anger, remorse, sorrow and pride. The whole pack followed suit, Max roaring and Willow and the other leopard chirping. Stopping, I marked everyone including my daughter, setting in the era of a new alpha, the era of the Braxton's.

**Grayson POV**

I limped away, broken, saddened of my loss. A loss of a mate, a loss of my status, and my pack... my heart and my wolf stinging with pain, before my wolf took over completely, losing me. I'm going to die.

Die a slow and painful death, I guess that's what I get for being selfish, but I couldn't do it, I couldn't be mates with her, that-that thing. I slowly slipped into darkness, as my wolf started foaming at the mouth. I'm going crazy or rabid as some wolves call it.

Goodbye world. Black follows.
