My Fated Alpha Mate

chapter 2

The week for the ceremony goes by slowly as I pack my things. I watch from a far as Matthew dances around Victoria. He attempts many times to complete the bond with me but it's always stopped before he can try. The pain of the betrayal still stings but I wouldn't want to change this outcome.

I believe that everyone should be able to find their happiness, so long as they don't take others down in the process. Everyone was rushing around trying to get it ready for the big day. I had already planned to leave the pack before the ceremony. They bring out decorations, cook food all night and rush about to put the tables and chairs in place. It would be the perfect time to slip out.

I act normal, keeping to myself and ignore the judgemental looks of the pack members around me. I watch as they rush around, Matthew glued to Victoria's side off in their own world. The betrayal Matthew caused stings deeply since he had filled my head with empty promises since childhood but what hurts the most is that he wants to keep me as a side piece. I slowly made my way back to my room, telling one of the workers that I felt unwell. I go to my room and sit down on my bed preparing myself mentally for what's to come.

The room I was given when I was a child is run down and old now, not having the maintenance it needed. My bed is a worn out mattress on an old rusted bed frame. I remember sitting in this bed with Matthew when he had promised to marry me and give me a bigger softer bed. Promises of simple comforts such as a bed seems pointless now considering that those promises were broken so easily.

I glance at my old backpack in the corner that is full of my things. I take a deep breath getting ready to make my final move. I get up and change into hiking clothes and my old sneakers. I glance around my room, memories, both good and bad, filter into my mind. I was going to cut ties with the entire pack, leave everything I knew behind but hopefully it will be for the best.

I pick up the back pack and look at the time. It is almost midnight when I turn to my window and slowly push it up and quietly slip out of the room. My room was on the ground level making it easy to slip out unnoticed. My feet softly hit the ground and a sense of freedom came over me. I quietly head to the packs border, staying in the shadows.

About an hour passes when I hear Matthews wolf howl a deep, commanding howl. I knew right than that I had to move and fast. I start running fast towards the border, heart pounding as I desperately head to my freedom. I hear the sounds of paws hitting the ground, howls of commands fill the air. It sounds like a full blown out war party, searching for their escaped prisoner.

My feet move forward faster and faster, until the border comes into sight. My heart races, my mind runs wild with possibilities when I hear a deep growl behind me. I stumble towards the border not daring to glance back when I feel the breeze behind my heels, like the very demon that haunts me tried to grab me. I close my eyes tightly as I pray that something or someone can help save me when I'm knocked to the ground and is pinned by a big, black wolf with piercing crystal blue eyes.

My eyes blow wide, my heart beats rapidly and a deep, uncontrollable warmth fills my body. The wolf stands over me, tall and strong baring his teeth at my previous pack members. I freeze, caught between this mysterious wolf and the past that is trying to capture me again when the wolf transforms back into his human counterpart. My blood instantly boils at how dashing the man in front of me is.

The man's bare back side is facing me but every inch of his body is sculpted into perfection. Deep, rugged toned muscles cover the man's back and legs. A few deep scars line his back due to protecting his pack, his hair dark and wavy but soft as a cloud. His voice, deep and strong, the type of sound that makes a girl's panties dampen in an instant. " Why are you on silver shadows territory" he growls as he watches my old pack members closely.

" I'm trying to leave. I..no longer belong there" I state softly...trying to control my body's reaction to this mysterious man. He slowly turns to me and looks at me. My face heats up completely because his front is just as sexy as his back and his c**k is hung even when fully down. " You're going rouge?" He growls clearly not liking the idea." Yes, I...can't be a second hand Luna" I state softly.

His crystal blue eyes darken at my words. Everyone knew the true reason anyone would want a second hand Luna. Second hand Lunas are normally left with the grunt work of the Luna duties while the first Luna is praised for little to no work. The man looks down at me and says" then say the words you need to speak, little wolf". I swallow hard and speak softly" I, Laura thomas, disown my old pack, blood crest pack as my home and family".

Once the words leave my mouth a sharp pain hits me and my vision blurrs. Normally when a wolf disowns their pack they are left hurt and vulnerable, not normally in the presence of another wolf. " Good girl" he growls deeply before he says " I, Tristan howler, of the silver shadow pack, accept Laura thomas as my pack member to protect and care for." My mind freezes, my body goes stiff and desire and fear mix as I recognize the man's name.

Tristan howler, the alpha of the silver shadow pack. He is known to be a ruthless, violent alpha who would rather kill you than look at you. The same alpha that so freely accepted me into his pack without a second thought. My mind was a mess of questions and worries but my body seemed to be drawn to him, craving his touch. I asked Crystal why I was feeling this way but crystal just sighed softly as she looked at Tristan, her tail wagging slightly with a goofy, dreamy face.

Tristan's P.O.V.

The wolf in front of me seemed weak, but those crystal blue eyes told me otherwise. However she didn't seem to know the truth to just how powerful she was since she was looking at me with a mix of fear and submission. I knew just by the smell of her that she was a true blood. My wolf shadow was going crazy in the back of my mind chanting the one thing I had dreamt of....Mate. We had been waiting for so long for our mate, but we didn't expect she would run into our arms.

I knew by the look in her eyes she had expected me to reject her in my pack and probably kill her on the spot with our reputation. Little did she know, those rumors were not fully true. We mainly had that reputation to keep our pack safe. Our pack is family oriented and pack centered, even omegas in our pack are treated fairly. I knew she wasn't an omega, her features were defined as an alpha but she was clearly mistreated.

I turn to the blood crest pack and growl" I have accepted Laura as a pack member, now leave us before I declare war right here." I snapped. The other pack slowly backed off, the alphas gaze remained on Laura until he slowly backed away and left. I turned to Laura and held out my hand" come, little wolf, let's get you home" I state softly at her, waiting for her to stand.

Lauras P.O.V.

I stared at his hand before slowly taking it. When our hands touched fire seemed to shoot through my body, making it shiver with desire. I slowly stood beside him, keeping my eyes down cast to avoid being disrespectful to him. " Thank you, alpha" I state quietly. He sighs and leads me deeper into his territory. As we walk, I glance at him and take in his features. He is taller than me by a foot, has short black hair and broad shoulders. Everything about this man makes my body shiver with need.

I keep my head down as we walk to the main house of his pack. As we grow closer he says" you will be on the top floor with me little wolf. After we get you settled in we will find your place in the pack" " yes alpha" I state softly. He stops and turns to me " Call me Tristan little wolf. I don't intend to let you roam freely around my pack...not yet" he states, watching me closely. I nod my head and glanced at him. He turned back around and led me to a big, beautiful house in the middle of his territory. There were many wolves bustling around.

Kids played across the yard, warriors trained and female wolves were walking and talking amongst themselves. He leads us inside and up to the third floor of the house. He stops at a door and opens it up" this will be your room, it has a closet and bathroom for you to use." He states.

He opens the door to a big lavish room. The bed is a king size bed with royal blue silk sheets and big fluffy pillows. The mattress looked soft enough to swallow a person if they slept on it. The room had a couple old fashioned dressers that seemed well taken care of and polished. There is a big walk in closet and a gorgeous bathroom with a soaker tub, a stand up waterfall shower and a double vanity sink.

I gasp as I take in all the furniture and turn to Tristan. " Alpha, I don't need all this, I'm only an omega. This is too much for someone like me" I state softly "I told you to call me Tristan, and this is the closest to my room. That way I can keep an eye on you." He states firmly before leaving. I stand there frozen as I watch him leave before turning towards the room and taking a deep breath before entering the room.

At first I didn't know where to go or what to do as I looked over the room again. It felt like a dream I wanted to never wake up from, like if I touched something I would dirty it up. I decided to try out the bathroom and take a quick shower to clean off the dirt and grime. I hadn't had a good hot shower in a while because at the blood crest I had to take quick showers so the higher ups would have enough hot water.

I ate in and unpack some clothes from my bag before grabbing my run down shampoo and conditioner. I turn to the shower and frown. The shower looked futuristic, like it came from the future or from an alien ship. I fiddled with the nobs for a while until I got it to the right temperature.

I undressed and stepped in the shower and my body instantly relaxed. The water felt amazing and my muscles started to relax from the tension I had from my old pack. As I'm showering, Tristan's crystal blue eyes flash in my mind. His eyes, his deep voice everything made my core burn.This was our fated life now.
