The Alpha King

hello stranger

I feel earth inside my mouth and eyes probably because I was screaming when I was being buried. The lack of air and the compression from being buried in what is going to kill me again that I am sure of; then I try to play I stretch my hands until they have come out of the hole and try to pull myself out and grab something but it is not enough. I start to suffocate again and now it's definite I'm dying. My shitty life flashes before my eyes again but this time there is no anger in me. I don't want to fight anymore, I just accept it and that doesn't make my departure any easier. I feel my body being pulled out and I keep my eyes closed while I try to spit out all the dirt and get my air back.

the pressure leaves my ears and suddenly I start to hear screams and more screams of pain as gunshots are heard the air shakes as bullets fly everywhere I lift my head with urgency ''I need to get out of here'' I think as I find myself in the middle of a forest surrounded by strangely pale people fighting huge beasts, People, not vampires I realize and the others must be werewolves I've never seen up close and the stories were right they are ruthless I see a wolf ripping a vampire's head off with just one paw 'more s**t' I have to get up still dizzy.

the air shakes when a roar comes from the middle of the forest I don't know what it is but I won't be here to find out I try to get up again and this time I succeed. then I see the werewolves retreat into the forest the vampires join in a circle this is my cue I need to get out of here I walk quickly out of the sight of the vampires the ones that notice me ignore me they surely have something more important to worry about than the stupid human walking into the middle of the forest a second howl paralyzes me the wolves attack again many pass by me but deviate '' thank god '' the awakened screams of vampires are heard for miles along with the sound of broken bones I look back looking for a glimpse of my captors but I can only see heads and bodies broken in half.

My body shakes but I turn around and continue my walk my body shivers and I feel the

presence of someone, I can't see who else is behind me I look to the side and see the blue lights looking at me. and official today is not my day I keep walking towards the road with my pursuer behind me until now he has not tried to approach me then I try to stay calm "no sudden movements" I keep repeating to myself "don't run if you do that he will hunt you" a voice behind me says abruptly "damn it" I can't make out his features in the dark just his bright yellow irises "mason" he says.

- mason I repeat. she turns her head towards the road and continues her walk at a brisk pace mason follows her closely the beast in the forest seems to move as well as avoids running so as not to attract her attention when she finally reaches the road she finally manages to catch up with mason he is wearing black boxer briefs he is well muscled and tanned his eyes have a golden light what knows to be from the wolf under the man's skin his hair looks soaked and blood smears all over his face. he has a smile that reaches his eyes and cringes at what trickery this must be . she thinks

- you didn't tell me your name.

he says as if it is important to him

- Ayla she says - he repeats testing the pronunciation he looks at the forest

- Ayla wait for me here all right ? he asks as if she has a choice

-ok she says

- one of my men will come and get you ok? she nods
