The Alpha In Love

2 days later...

She didn't remember her days as being so cold, Mexico had always been warm at that time of year, the rain forecasts had been zero for this day, but she felt so broken that the environment combined perfectly with her.

— Madeleine, a man has come to see you, he says he is your father's friend. She—she listened behind the door of her room, but without paying attention to her surroundings, only to the window. She looked in that direction without focusing on a specific point, just immersed in her thoughts.

"Aunt, I'll be down in a moment," she managed to say in an automatic response without humor.

Madeleine was going through a moment of agony and pain, she had been left alone in that world. That woman she calls her aunt is just a neighbor she grew up with since she was little, her only family was her father and now she had lost him too. He wanted an explanation, he didn't understand how he could continue breathing if he felt like his last breath was taken away when he heard the doctor's words, his partner in life and adventures had fallen from a sudden heart attack without warning, without permission, because he promised him a lifetime. together no matter what happened he would be there for her.

How did he dare to leave her alone? Without any reason to live, without the desire to exist. Immersed in her thoughts, she did not realize that Don Guillermo had become desperate and she dared to go up to her room. He watched her in silence from the door that he gently opened so as not to scare her. She imagined everything she was going through and the fear that he would hurt her gave her the impulse to dare to be there.

The young woman's room was warm, the light illuminated it subtly and the tears shone from the glare of the sun that entered through the thick curtains.

—How are you little Madeleine? She—he was encouraged to speak after a few minutes contemplating her.

"Mr. Itreque," she turned to look at him with tears in her eyes, finally a person who loved her father so much in front of her.

—My girl, come here.

He offered his arms, getting closer and she curled up, bursting into tears. She didn't allow herself to cry in front of anyone like that, only in the arms of someone who really shared the pain that drowned her heart, because he wasn't a stranger like the faces of that woman. funeral home that they were only there out of commitment, since none of them really knew their father, he saw a pair of faces that he had never seen before, but they were not very familiar nor did he feel empathy with them, on the contrary, he felt afraid.

"She has left me alone," she said between tears. "I don't know what I'll do now," she spoke brokenly, passing the air into her lungs without gentleness, in excessive gulps, she wiped away her tears with the palm of her hands abruptly.

Madeleine had always distinguished herself by being a simple woman, but above all by acting modestly and with a certain elegance, she smiled secretly and never spoke out loud, although now before Guillermo she was a bundle of nerves, untidy, a mess between tears, fluids. nasals and words.

—That's why I came, I want you to come with me, I made a promise to your father that's why I'm here today, I will take care of you, you don't have to be alone, in my house you will have a family, please come with me.

He moved a little away from her to look into her eyes, he understood that he had doubts about her, but a slight smile from her gave him the possibility that he would accept.

Madeleine did not want to continue there where everything hurt, when she looked out of her window she was looking for a way out of her pain and here she had it as her order to make it for her; It seemed like the perfect way out for her.

She thought about her father who never left any loose ends, for that reason she saw that invitation with certainty, and hours later she got ready to flee from the past.

She thought it advisable not to fill the suitcases with only what was necessary, her clothes, a photograph of her father and a couple of books, the special ones, the ones he gave her, she forgot the other things that made no sense, she prepared to start again , who knows where, because what awaited her, not even she herself knew.

Madeleine was no longer a girl, she was a young woman with a beautiful face, graceless straight brown hair, that's how she described it to whom she told that it was beautiful to have it that straight, since she didn't need to comb it much for it to look good. She was gifted with expressive eyes with abundant eyelashes that adorned that characteristic honey color, that look that for years was praised by anyone who looked at her for the first time.

She is now 24 years old, she had finished a career as a chef at a private school that her father tried hard to pay for, she was an employee in a small restaurant that did not take advantage of all of her knowledge and skills. Her body was a little robust, she did not fit the standards of fat or skinny, she called her body not very delicate because she was tall and had pronounced hips just like her mother.

Madeleine had not been lucky in love, like her mother who found someone like her father, she on the contrary had been deceived by the last of her boyfriends, overwhelmed by this she distanced herself from relationships, Madeleine was docile in her manner, but she kept a strong character that only came out when necessary, he was happy, jovial, very smiling and above all independent, perhaps that was the reason why he accepted Don Guillermo's invitation without hesitation.

Hours later he boarded a plane to an unknown place in Spain, he had never been, Mr. Itreque told him the place, but honestly he had not paid much attention and he did not remember the exact name a few minutes later, he had no idea where it was, So it's adjacent, if the climate is cold or warm, if he likes it, but what difference does it make, he took the pass to oblivion, welcome, although he couldn't fool himself, it wasn't enough to fly to another continent, his love for his father would take him to the end of the world and her pain would accompany her at night wherever she is.

She wouldn't miss her job, not because she didn't like it, but the atmosphere was so relaxed that she could spend hours watching the cars go by through the window, going out to parties either, since her breakup, going out to have fun was no longer an option and friends, the the only one he had, he would never miss her.

Her thoughts accumulated like bad ideas in her head now that she was aware that she did not know where she was going, she observed Don Guillermo who only smiled at him kindly; She threw her thoughts of her adrift from that plane, in the end it didn't matter what awaited her in those lands, but she doesn't know and that is dangerous, a poorly faced, bitter and arrogant werewolf awaits her as her first welcome.

Madeleine has no idea that her destiny is changing at the moment that plane took its route, now she is in the hands of someone else who will change her life, because she believes that hell lives in her, but what awaits her does not compare. to what he has already experienced. However, what does it matter what awaits her if she now has nothing.

The trip had passed in dreams, since Madeleine was too tired to endure the long journey.

—Madeleine, you understand that you come to live in a pack of werewolves, we are not as dark as the legends make us out to be, but we do have some rules, however I know you and I know that you are a young girl with a lot of education and class, a true lady. , you don't know my son Sebastián because he is the youngest, he is currently the alpha of the pack and is somewhat complicated to get along with, if you locate my Sofía, she is about to get married very soon, I took her for some time on my trips and she He is fond of you, and if you should remember it is Alexter the eldest, unfortunately he is a little immersed in his things, don't take his attitude the wrong way if you happen to bump into each other. — Guillermo said inside the car that was taking them to the lands of the Itreque herd.

—Of course Mr. Itreque, during my stay here I will try not to give him any problems, I also remember Sofía and Alexter a little, honestly I was very little when he came, I know that I have to follow rules, I am fully willing to support him, that's why I don't want to feel I live close to your home, allow me to somehow repay you with pleasure. —He smiled kindly.

He looked carefully as the landscape changed to some immense trees as he advanced. He could see the main entrance of the house guarded by three men in front and some more distributed in strategic spaces of the territory.

—Thank you, but you know that it is not necessary, you are free to do anything you want to do. —Guillermo assured.

Upon arriving at the house, Madeleine was surprised by how big it was, it looked like a castle and looked majestic with all those trees that delicately decorated it, the house was kept a neat white color, with so many windows that she had to leave To count them at some point, an immense staircase was the way to the main door, the details were so precious, the fretwork that adorned the walls seemed delicate, when they approached they could notice that a small group of people was there.

She recognized Sofía, but she did not recognize the man next to her with an air of grandeur, but she realized that it would be Sebastián. When she got out of her car, the blonde and blue-eyed woman rushed towards her, hugging her tightly.

—I'm glad you agreed to come Madeleine, long time no see. He looked at her lovingly as if no time had passed between them.

She had been afraid that the contact between them would feel strange, but the bond they had created when they were children was there as if the years had not passed, for once in so long she felt that warmth that she only felt with the other. her father

—Thank you, Sofia, I'm happy to see you again. —She looked askance at the man who looked at her with reluctance; her former alpha saw him with suspicion.

— Welcome, I hope you don't give us problems.

Sebastián went directly to her and then left, Don Guillermo wanted to reproach him, but he was stopped by his daughter, downplaying his brother's tantrums. Guillermo sighed, trying to get rid of his contained anger and looked up, he noticed that in one of the windows was his eldest son observing the event in detail, a small smile settled on his lips at seeing him standing there, however, it did not last long.

—Sofía, you can show her her room. —the former alpha ordered.

Guillermo excused himself from the two young women and went straight to his office, he was caught up by his housekeeper and confidant, María.

The young women went to the second floor where everyone's rooms were, well almost everyone, the only one who lived in the attic was the eldest, cloistered without leaving. Something that he did not know, but the sounds of some footsteps adorned the silence of those hallways.

A few hours passed, exactly three, and Don Guillermo remained in his study reading some books that he had requested days before going to pick up Madeleine. María entered subtly announcing herself.

"Sir, dinner is almost ready," María spoke from the door, daring to enter. "May I ask, what is your plan for bringing her here?" She has these outbursts, I would support her at any time, I know, but bringing her, I don't want to imagine that she thought about marrying her to Sebastián because that would be hard for her,” she said, worrying.

—Don't worry, María, I have my ideas, you don't have to worry, and everything will get better from now on.

She smiled, leaving the woman even more worried. She was going to say one more thing when a loud growl shook the house, coming from the forest, a growl that had not been heard for years.

—Alpha, that's Alexter! She has left her room, but how?

María looked quickly out the window, Don Guillermo settled down next to her, they watched as Madeleine ran back towards the house, a little overwhelmed, she ran, looking askance behind her.

"So they've already found each other, I didn't think it would be so fast," the alpha murmured, then a sweet smile of complete happiness settled on his lips.

—What has alpha planned? What is she really doing here? —She asked in disbelief knowing that young Alexter left her room.

— Don't worry, only time will give you the answer to your questions, now let's go to dinner.

She left the room without saying more. What exactly was the former alpha of the Itreque pack planning, what is Madeleine doing there? There were many María's doubts when she saw him leaving the studio with a calm step, with his hands on his back and a slight, but noticeable smile on his face. his eyes.

Those lands have been cursed for years, long before they settled, the losses have piled up in the Itreque herd one after another, seeing Don Guillermo happy is something that had not been appreciated in María's eyes for a long time, she sighed and She adjusted her clothes only to go out and close the study behind her. She asked inside that things would improve from now on, but a tightness in her chest assured her that perhaps her requests would not be heard
