Meeting My Alphas

Meet Rugal and Leyla

I"m Rugal and this is Leyla, my mate and the only Alpha I trust to stand by my side. Together we run a successful consulting company in the heart of Seattle, offering technical advice to all of the packs in the area and helping the community stay connected. In the past werewolves and other paranormal creatures could rely upon under the table jobs and simple subsistence activities to get by, but now we need to evolve with the changing world. 

Leyla and I have been mated for almost 50 years, making us a relatively young couple, but one that has seen many packs fall behind and become easy pickings for more aggressive alphas looking to expand their packs. Hungry mouths and uneducated pack members make for easy picking. That's why our small pack is filled with individuals who work hard, enjoy the good things in life, and are always trying to get ahead oh the game. 

While we have been mated for a long time, our mating bond has never really settled. It always feels like we are brand new, like something isn't quite right. While this makes for great s*x, it can be a bit stressful. I always feel like I need to protect Leyla and she always feels like she has something to prove. The other members of the pack just think that we have a lot of energy and that we work hard to make sure that they are taken care of and that we will never fall victim to the modern world. I wouldn't trade the bond that I have with Leyla for anything, but I do wish that it would level out and let us enjoy our lives a little more. 

I'm 6'3", about average height for an alpha and while my shoulders are broad, I don't particularly look intimidating. I keep myself fit and my brown hair is well coiffed. I like to wear suits and well fitted clothing, choosing to keep my arms and legs fully covered at all times. The buttons at my neck are usually open, showing some of my chest hair, but I try not to show too much as I don't want Leyla to be jealous. 

I have deep blue eyes that I've been told are very serious looking. I have a short beard that I keep lined up and well groomed. Overall I look like your typical rich suit in Seattle. I fit in well in the board room and command respect wherever I go. Even humans who don't have to submit to my alpha nature have been known to move out of my way. I carry myself with a sense of pride and determination that makes it hard to resist my charms. 

-------------------------

My name is Leyla and I'm an alpha as well. Our pairing is a bit strange for the werewolf world, but we make it work. When we first mated 50 years ago everyone assumed that we would tear each other limb from limb before the month was out. Alphas are supposed to naturally challenge each other, to fight for resources and to force the world around them to their knees. For some reason Rugal and I just work, we know everything about each other and feel like part of the same person, rather than opposing humans. 

I'm 5'9", a good height, but maybe a little short for an alpha. I make up for it with high heels that make the most delicious sounds on tiles as I walk, and by carrying myself in a very upright manner. When I was in school girls were still taught to correct their posture, a lesson that I have carried through to the modern world. At 72 some of the things that I think and do can be seen as rather old fashioned, but I feel that I have adapted to the modern world very well. 

I have long black hair that falls in deep ringlets around my face and eyes so deep brown they could be called chocolate. I tend to dress in formfitting clothes that show off my toned body, using the attention that it gains me to make my presence known wherever I go. While I can use my alpha aura to get a lot of things, men will talk to a cute girl a lot faster than they will talk to an alpha. 

I work out every day and thanks to werewolf genes, both Rugal and I look like we are about 20 years old. I fit in everywhere from high class business meetings to walking down the piers in the area and even in the clubs around the city. I love going out with friends and having a good time, only to come home to Rugal and remind him just how much he missed me. Sometimes I get him to come out with me, but usually he stays home and broods, worrying so hard I can feel it through the mate bond, but enjoying the happiness that he can feel from my side of the bond. 

Together we are a relatively imposing couple that most people in our community look up and want to emulate. While our unsettled mate bond makes us a bit more intense than some of the other wolves our age, I feel like we handle ourselves well and people think that our intensity is just dedication to our pack. Apparently we look very in love when we look at each other, giving people who haven't met their mates yet hope. 

It's been almost a week now that our wolves have been unsettled, insisting that there is someone new in the city we need to meet. Every night when we go home I find myself staring at the moon while Rugal broods in his study. I know he feels the pull too as he whispers to me when he climbs into bed in the early hours of the morning. Werewolf healing means that we don't need much sleep, but the stress of not being able to relax has made us more snappish and angry the last few days. 

Planning a get away to one of the many small islands in the area where we can run free seems like the best way to get some energy out, but until then I plan for us to take some more fitness classes in the building that we work within. Something about training with another wolf, even if we have to do so in human form, helps to calm us and sooth the beasts that we carry within.
