The Alpha's quiet mate

Chapter 1

Aiden grew more and more frustrated with the situation before him. Watching these pups go at it over every little thing felt like a punishment. He wanted to be out fighting the rogues with his dad, however his father refused to let him anywhere near a real battle until he was fully mated and had an heir of his own. He loves these pups, but he has grown tired of babysitting when he should be out fighting. He would never feel like the alpha he is till he could truly defend his pack. Aiden being an only child made his parents fear for their position, and made them only want to protect him more, sure he was trained as an alpha should be but he was only allowed to fight during training when he wasn't in any real danger. In two more days he would get his first taste of freedom when he left the pack with his father's beta to travel the packs and find his mate. Aiden is 17 now and after a year of searching his own pack, had not yet found his mate, though not for a lack of trying from the unmated females. All he has to do now is find his mate and free himself from this glass prison.

~Isabelle's POV~

I sneak back in the house around 1 am praying to the moon goddess thatI won't get caught by Dan or Sarah because I can't handle another beating,I am already worn out and sore from training all night. Dan and Sarah told me that they found me as a pup, abandoned in the woods and took me in. I see pictures sometimes of a time they loved me and I still have dreams of those days but they always end in a nightmare that have her drenched in sweat and unable to go back to sleep. They loved me and treated me as their own. I still remember how they laughed when I told them they weren't allowed to bring a new pup home when they told me, Sarah was pregnant. When they brought Jason home, I was instantly attached, I loved my new brother and I was always at his side determined to keep him safe. Three days after his first birthday, we were out playing in the sand, we were throwing it around and laughing. Jason accidentally got sand in my eye and like any four year old would I began to scream, it was so loud the whole ground started to shake and Jason went flying out of the sandbox. I ran to his side but he wouldn't wake up. Sarah came running out and the next thing I know they are leaving me with Sally to rush him to the hospital. Sally is our Omega, she cooked and cleaned but always found time to play with me. I spent days crying for mommy and daddy, asking when they would be home. One day they Finally came home and Jason had a scar under his eye. I ran over to try and kiss it better like mommy, daddy, and Sally always did for me but my mom smacked me so hard I flew back. Every day after that I was reminded that, it was all my fault, though I never understood how. My parents informed me that from then on I would be their omega, and trained by Sally. This was a family secret even though I was no longer treated as part of the family unless we were in public. When we were around other pack members I was to always smile and say how great they were for taking me in. Sally became more of a mother to me than Sarah ever could be and I thanked the moon goddess every night for her. Sally told me if I promised to keep our secret then she would take me away to another pack when I turned 18 if I hadn't found my mate yet.

I am 16 now and old enough to find my mate but honestly hope I never do, Sarah, Dan and Jason always remind me that I am weak and I would only bring destruction and death to my future mate. I was told, I must reject him right away to save him, and myself. He would probably leave me when he realized how pathetic I was. So I was only dreading the big gathering coming up because some wanna be almost alpha was coming to visit hoping to find his mate among us. I wasn't looking forward to another party, walking around pretending my parents love me and I love them, plus if he brought any other unmated males and one of them were my mate, I would have to reject them and cause myself pain in the process. I am only two years from freedom, why would I want a mate who would probably beat me worse and force me to have his pups? I think I'll just avoid the new guys the whole night instead.
