To Love an Alpha

Episode 3

Mean while…….

It was a full moon and by law it was the one time that a werewolf didn't need an excuse to shift and go for a run.

The laws are made so that the humans stay oblivious to the supernatural world and the wolves try as much as possible to live normal lives. Your next door neighbour could be a werewolf and you wouldn't even know it.

The dominant pack in New York is the Crescent Moon pack. There were other wolves who weren't part of the pack but loved her for work or to school or one reason or the other but to live in New York a wolf must be part of a pack. Rogues were not allowed even near the border.

The current Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack is Xavier Sawyer. He was crowned 5 months ago after his father retired due to an ailment.

It wasn't that he wasn't going to be Alpha if not for that because right from birth he has always been known as the successor to the title after his father being the first son of his parents the previous Alpha and Luna of the pack, Daniel and Mary Sawyer. So Xavier has always been known as the heir.

Although Xavier has known for a long time, it didn't lessen the burden or worry for the pack that came with being Alpha by the time he was crowned Alpha. The fact that he hadn't been mated was another issue of worry because never in history has an Alpha been crowned so young and without a Luna to rule by his side.

As always, Xavier decided to go out for a run to rid his mind of the worries that has been clouding his mind. Like his father said though, there is always a first time for everything so here he was an Alpha at 28 and without a Luna.

Every wolf probably has a different reason for running but for Xavier it is always about the thrill. He loved feeling the wind in his fur as his paws sink into the soil with so much adrenaline that he would feel like exploding. He has always thought of it as a blessing from the Moon Goddess to wolves.

Just as he reached a clearing, a foreign but oddly satisfying scent filled his nostrils and he had to restrain from howling because by now he was far away from the pack house and more into the human dominanted part of the City.

He thought of ignoring it but something kept pulling him towards the scent. It smelled like a mixture of peaches and berries with a hint of vanilla.

He ran till he was close enough to see a person who from the statue was female and- human? If she was a human though then she is really tall for a human. Humans especially females usually stand at 5'5 but this person was like 5'8 almost the height of most female wolves.

By now the scent that filled the air was really over powering. At first he thought it was just he heightened sense that came with being a werewolf but then his wolf Jay screamed 'mate' and Xavier had to put up a fight to stop him from howling and running up to the said girl. She looked to be taken pictures. Which human comes out at 4 in the morning to take pictures?

"She's our mate so why aren't we over there right now with her!" Jay all but shouted.

"If we do that we will give her a fright and as you can see she is tensing up" Xavier tried to reason with his wolf.

"Do you think she knows? Do you think she can smell us as we can smell her?"

"Probably not. Humans don't have that ability Jay"

Xavier could feel Jay's sadness through the link and he was too because of many reasons. He found his mate but turns out she is human so she doesn't even know he exists. The question now remains this, how does a wolf- an Alpha wolf get paired with a human?

He can already imagine how his pack will flip and their reaction to this news which is why he knows he has to hold this piece of information to himself atleast not before he can figure out what and how to go about it all.

Right now he was trying to be focused and make sure they don't make any sudden movements to alert her that they were here. It is very critical that humans are not made aware of the supernatural world eventhough she is their mate.

They stayed till she was done taking pictures and was leaving all the while thye were so focused on her as if committing every little detail to memory. Somewhere in there though, Xavier knew that if it came that they had to reject her, it was going to be hard because they were already experiencing alot of emotions just by looking at her.

"Let's follow her and see where she goes" Jay said already making a move but Xavier immediately shut down the thought.

"We can't do that especially not in this form and doing anything like that will only make leaving her hurt more" He told Jay.

While most werewolves lost almost 75% of conciousness to the wolves when in wolf form, for Alphas and some wolves belonging to the Alpha blood line which is very rare, they are able to keep control and conciousness of their wolf even in wolf form hence why Xavier could still control his thoughts and actions even though Jay was here. The only control Jay had completely right now was their appearance.

"Xavier? Where are you?" It was Xavier's best friend, Paxton through the mind link. It was another blessing from the moon goddess to only wolves belonging to a pack.

"On a run. What is it?"

"You need to get here right now. Some wolves were sighted at the border ad they think they're a geng of rogues"

"I'll be there in 5. Take care of it before I get there and don't let word get out. We don't want people to get worried". He said back to him and with a final look at the disappearing figure he stepped away from the clearing and broke into a run to the border.

It would seem he had another question to worry aboit finding the answer to. What were rogues doing around here and why? Also what sick joke is the Moon Goddess playing by pairing him with a human mate?
