Catch me Alpha

The hunt

Grace's POV

RUN!> my wolf yelled at me

Then I began to run, I was running for my freedom, and I know that this may sound tragic but I had a goal to achieve in my life, and it was not to find a mate or let anyone trap me.

I didn't know if John was going to help me, but I had to hope.

'We can do this, Grace'

As I was becaming more confident, another bell rang and it broke my mood.

Loud howls were echoing through the forest.

The male wolves were free and the hunt was already claiming victims. I felt chills down my spine, some she-wolves were caught, or at least the ones from my pack since I could only sense them

This is nothing new to me, I knew the fear of the hunt from the last years, it was something that didn't effect me before, but this time the fear was true. I was afraid.

As I was lost in my thoughts I didn't realise I was slowing down. When the hunt started I left all the she-wolves behind me, really far. Now they were by my side, scared and terrified. Some of them looked at me, begging me to run faster.

Being mated was surely the best thing ever, but it comes with the female submisson to the male, and not all the female were ready to do this, especially me.

I sensed back and run faster as ever, but something caught my ear and my soul as well. A very loud and strong growl stood above, the one that could make every alphas shake in terror.

I looked behind and a big black shadow was coming my way, I couldn't tell if he was angry or hungry, but this wolf was aiming me. My wolf was forcing me to stop and surrender, she had some feelings towards him but my body was running at its faster. Inside me I was fighting against my wolf's will. Outside my body was aching, all my force was almost over, I couldn't fight and run at the same time, I was going to pass out

The black wolf took advantage of my slowing down and approched me. Then I smelt his scent, he was the one who drove me crazy few hours ago. I knew that he wouldn't surrender but I hoped to leave him behind, instead he was tenacious and also the strongest of all the wolf that I have ever met. His proximity was confusing me, this was all too much, unwilling my body was trying to go back to him, all my control was gone.

WHERE THE HELL WAS JOHN?

Noah's POV

It was really easy to follow her scent, it was strong enough to literally guide my wolf, but damn, she was fast. I didn't thought that she will be this hard to catch. She had a strong personality, but her wolf's will was weak. Indeed not so far from me she was running, but she was slower and not because she was tired. Everyone could tell that she was fighting against her wolf, they disagreed with each other. This made my wolf proud, she was running away from me but her wolf wanted me so bad and was ready to mate me. I was approching her really fast, my canines few inches from her left hind paw, I had to bite her to stop her. I won't hurt my mate, but it was necessary to cut off her run and then claim our bond.

My canines were ready to take what was ours, I've dreamed this moment for all my life, and since I met her the urge became stronger, she was the ony one for me. I closed my eyes to savour this moment, eager to finally make her mine.

Suddenly I was pushed away.

I opened my eyes she was now running faster, she had the control of herself again, but why? What did wake her up from her trance ? 

I turned around and beside me there was this f*****g wolf from before. I recognized him from his repugnant scent, the one who dared touch my mate. He wanted her, but he had no right, she was only mine

Kill him and then take her>

My wolf was furious, anger, infuriated. Jelaousy was devouring the both of us.

My throat dried, there was no way to let him pass me.

Then I did something very stupid instead of following her, I run into him, and I let my anger out, he was fighting me but not as an alpha should, barely he would bite. Instead he was defending himself. There was nothing in his eyes, only a trace of laugh.

'Why is he laughing?'

Then it hit me. He was there to distract me. I stopped and searched for her, she was no longer in sight, she has probably reached the neutral territory. The hunt for me was over. She was able to escape from me, but only this time. I will do anything to get her back. As I was still hovering this wolf, I shifted back and so did he.

"If you're this bad, there's no wonder that she didn't want you. You gotta do your best to catch her, she is no easy prey" he laughted. 

Not only he stopped me from getting my mate, but now I became a joke to him. I leaned on him, few inches from his face, and my hand wrapped around his neck.

" You have now an enemy. I'm going to search her all around your territory, and if I won't find her here, then I'm going to f*****g destroy your miserable pack. She is coming with me whether she likes it or not, and you, my man, you better watch your back"

Then I left, I didn't want to kill him, or a war would began easily. At least, not now, but I meant what I said, if I won't find her, I will destroy everything till there is nowhere for her to hide. Then I will make sure that she won't leave me ever again, at cost of walk her on a leash

I called all my pack, even those who had found a mate.

"Alpha Noah, where is she?"

I felt everyone's eyes on me, they looked confused and perplexed, they felt that something was missing, or better someone.

Every wolf in the pack knew that I've found her tonight, actually I didn't tell none. But once that an alpha finds his mate all the pack's members sense it too, it is some kind of magic that links all of us together.

Few hours ago, they all were joyful because I found my Luna, but now they looked disappointed. It was my mistake, instead of going behind her, I let my rage out on that wolf. If I won't find her, I wouldn't forgive myself, neither my pack or even worse my wolf will do it.

"All of you must find her, I don't care how long it will take, I don't care if you will stay out all day and all night, she is a priority now. You don't need photo because once you will find her, you will understand that she is your Luna. You will feel her aura. Go now"

I refused to give them explanation, it hurted me. The fact that she left me behind felt like a silver knife in my heart, deadly painful.

"Jimmy" I called for my beta

" You have a different task. Find every information about her, who she is, what she does, how many time she pees in a day. Just f*****g everything, I need to understand why she left."

I didn't realise that a tear escaped from my eye, this situation was hurting me, I wouldn't like to imaginate how it would feel like if she had the strengh to reject me tonight, I think that I couldn't manage the suffering. I never thought that I would fell devastated right after meeting my mate, the one who should bring joy in my life.

" We will find her Noah, she is a part of us already." Then he left, leaving me alone in my darkest  thoughts.

Grace's POV

'DON'T STOP RUNNING, HE IS LOOKING FOR YOU' Alpha John mind linked me

I reached the neutral territory and I thought that I could take some rest and then go back home, take a shower, grab my things and then leave. But the message that John brought made all my plans vanish, I felt really irritated. Why was he so stubborn? Couldn't he see that I didn't need him?

He loves us, he cares. Mate wants us> 

my wolf was estatic, she could not even contain herself. Hopeless romantic

It was like I was divided between my willpower to leave and the force that holds me back. I clearly want to go away, but something is begging me to stay.

I must quickly come to an answer, the longer I stay, the faster he reaches me.

'Thank you for everything that you have done for me, I promise you that this won't turn into a war, I will come back in time' I mind linked John, he has to know that his pack will be safe and I will not put anyone in danger.

Noah's POV

This was one of the worst night in my entire life. I was anxious and insecure as well. What if we can't find her? Was I not enough for my mate? Did she leave for another wolf? 

I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself, I couldn't afford to think her with some other man.

But everytime that I close my eyes her beautiful feauteres appears in my mind. She had a strong hold on me, I was feeling submissive. Whatever she would ask I would give her even my own heart. I'd tear it off my chest and I would leave it in her hands still pulsating. She might as well eat it, I won't care, anything for her.

She was made for me, and I was made for her. And yet she didn't want me. The fire in my stomach was burning every single cells of me, I won't find rest till the moment she will be back in my embrace. I had to find the missing puzzle that divides us

"Noah" Jimmy called me back, he approched me near the lake where I was trying to drown my sudden paranoid inferiority. Even if I tried all I could think of was her body which was a gift from Heaven.

"She is a beta" this really shocked me, I faced him

"A beta? That's why she was so fast" I thought she was only a gracious she-wolf, instead she is a warrior, I definitely love it. That's why she is my mate.

"She is the local beta, Alpha John's second in command"

"Call everyone, and tell them we are going on war"

"Noah aren't you too impulsive?"

"She is my mate, our Luna. She belongs only to our pack. That miserable man, knew who she was and still he keeps hiding her from me. He has committed a crime and he will pay for it"

" But Noah she escaped from you, she doesn't want us. She will hate you if you fight against her native pack"

" What do you expect from me? Leave her here? There's no way" 

 All I could see was rage, I don't want to live without her by my side, she wasn't with me before. But once that I've found out what her presence feels like, I want to spend every single minute with her. She is like a drug, once you try it, you get addicted.

" Perhaps you can wait for her. The pull is so strong even on her, and she can't deny it. She will come back to us eventually, maybe she is not ready and even scared."

"What's her name?"

"Grace"

"Grace" I repeated, it really suits her, my petite mate.

"Jimmy, although you may be right, I can't do it. I can't wait. If she doesn't come back tomorrow at sunset, I will declare war"

Even if she will hate me forever, she will be safe with me and nowhere else. I'd rather be hated than live without her.

Without my mate

Without Grace
