Alpha Serina

chapter 3

Jessica pov

I woke up to an unbearable pain and I tried to ask my wolf Trixie what was happening but the pain was too much I screamed and begged for the pain to stop. Jake ran in but I just pushed past him knowing that my bones were cracking. I ran downstairs almost falling in the process. I realised I was shifting but this is worse than the first time. Something is wrong with me, and by the time I reached the bottom of the stairs I had a wolf face on me and my left arm was almost a paw. It hurt so bad. My brother got my parents and they were crying and asking what was happening.

I burst open the door making it go flying outside. I couldn’t do anything in my power and the pain kept getting worse. By the time I was halfway shifted I heard new people came and two went and consoled my family for which I would thank them if I could speak. After getting in the wheatfield I felt her, my mate she had put her hand on me after I had tried to tell her somehow to go away to which she didn’t get.

I for a second was calm and I couldn’t feel any pain but before I could even turn to look at her again after seeing just her eyes for the first time the pain came back. I don’t remember doing it but I did try to push her way to not hurt her. I sliced her arm with my paw that was bigger than it had ever been. I didn’t mean to and to try to not do it again I started running while not noticing I finished shifting. I was higher off the ground than ever.

Without me noticing it she also got in my mind as well I could tell by the power in her voice after she told me to stop running that she was a higher rank. I did as she said and after she reached me I saw her wolf. I recognised it from the magazine issue that was done on her. It was Serina, my mate was Serina.

‘Her wolf is gorgeous’ Trixie purred but I couldn’t do the same instead I felt even worse.

She didn’t deserve someone as low class as me, I wasn’t good enough for her. Before my wolf could growl at me for the thought my mate beat her to it.

“Just because I am an Alpha does not make you unworthy of me in fact I believe I am the one unworthy you are the Quaesitum wolf after all.” She said I could feel her wolf pur at the thought of me which made me almost as confused as what she said. The conquer wolf? I knew a little bit of latin and what she said confused me.

Before I could say a thing Lizzy appeared…

Wait, Lizzy appeared??

“Hey babes so i know this is confusing but come with me and here is some clothes.” Lizzy said and I’m guessing Serina growled at the nickname and wanted to say something about it but before she could Lizzy smiled at her and gave me the clothes to hold in my jaw before telling me to scram.

I did as she asked, wanting to not think about how powerful my mate was. Trixie growled at me while I was changing for the fact I wasn’t near Serina.

When I came back I was surprised to see Serina not trying to clamp down on Lizzy’s neck, I know how overprotective mates are and being a woman as well I knew that she had to be even more cause I know I was even though we just met.

“Jessica baby there you are me and your friend here were just wondering where you were.” I could tell there was a bit of border worry traced into her words that I attempted to brush off as to not gush like my wolf did.

I walked over to Serina closer instinctively not even thinking about it before she wrapped her arms around my waist and put her head on my shoulder inhaling my scent that led me to shiver.

‘You smell delicious.’ Serina said in our private link making me all red in the face unable to say anything. I did see Lizzy give us a big grin though.

“So as I said to your mate you both have to follow me and don’t worry my mom is keeping everyone busy knowing what tonight ment as well and before you ask Jes, my whole coven knows what you are.”

I wanted to ask what that meant but my mate was moving me with her hands still on me forward to follow Lizzy and when we were walking I realized where we were going.

Some nights me and Lizzy would stare up at the sky in this open field that felt too perfect in the middle of the nights Lizzy would always talk about mates and such knowing that as a witch unless you are meant to have one which was only the case half the time you were supposed to go onto life’s path with no lover. It broke my heart the first time she told me, making me want to almost curse the goddess but then she told me her mom was like that, Lizzy told me she had no dad to go to but instead an entire coven. Her mom got pregnant through a procedure that very few witches go through. Her mom was an extremely happy person and didn’t mind it. Beside’s her mom she told me she hoped to be the same as her mom or if she did have a mate that they would love her. I didn’t understand how she didn’t want a mate because that’s all Trixie wanted but I also kinda did understand in a way because of my secret. One night we made a dumb vow that if we didn’t have a mate by thirty we’d get married just for fun.

I heard Serina growl. I guess she heard what I said in my head.

“You are mine baby and no one else’s.” There was such a possessive yet loving tone in that one statement I really did gush.

“If you want me then I am yours.” I know that seems like a statement any of the girls would say at my school that I hated but in that moment it felt so real so right to say.

“As I am yours.” Serina said before turning me and kissing my forehead making Lizzy turn before she plopped her but down at our spot.I guess we had arrived before I knew it.

I was about to sit down beside my mate but she had put me on her lap before I could protest it.

“Let me tell you both about my coven’s goal and just so you know in advance Jes. I am your friend and will always be your friend before a coven member.” I almost teared up the coven means so much to Lizzy and for her to say that meant more than anything.

-the coven goal-

Told by Lizzy pov.

“My mother came here with the coven as a newborn. The old elders had learned of the prophecy and with Draconix being just born and yes vampires age differently so even though he is twenty three in his age to us he is forty six makes me feel bad for his beloved who he has yet to find. ANYWAYS.” I said realizing I got caught up in my thoughts and going back to the coven’s goal.

“It is said everyone is born with a bit of darkness and for him he was born almost fully filled with darkness. The goddess has to give people the amount of light and darkness within to make a being. Against her will someone tampered with one and to offset his darkness she was to make him a mate of only pure light. However angered by making their son of darkness his parents decided they would make his life hell seeing as they didn’t know if the goddess was playing a cruel joke on them. So for the next (i’m going to use our years instead of his time) thirty years he was treated worse than criminals till finally last year he had enough and with the last bit of his light gone from the action he took, he killed his parents, and vowed to kill everyone else with any light. Seeing as my coven is what I like to call a light coven we prayed for a protector and without realising it you my dear Jes. were officially put into the prophecy, as if you were there but no one had seen it till yesterday or well 2 days ago. My coven had already decided to come here in hopes that this pack would produce the mate Draconix needed because for some reason this place was also in the prophecy as the place of rest. I don’t look at the prophecy scroll often but it says he was created a mate and a protector of all was created here and just so happens you are her. Though everyone assumed the protector would be a dude.” I said knowing it wasn’t the best explanation because the scroll is so confusing to me and I personally believe no one truly understands it.

I know Lizzy means well in her explanation but her mom should have done it and that isn’t an insult but Lizzy my dear friend couldn’t say it without thinking and drifting off. I did get the overall message.

“Care to tell me if I got it right mate? So He was created with only darkness, a mate was created for him with only light in her and a protector as well in case what he’s too much for her?” Serina said in my head my wolf purring at her calling us mate but me also knowing she got it right.

“Yeah that’s it in simple words Lizzy did her best though and it did tell us other details as to why he is how he is.” I told her trying to also defend her a little as well because my best friend has a small smile on her face and is happy she got through it.

‘I want to talk to mate without Lizzy here to watch.’ Trixie said and I realised I did need to do that.

“Lizzy please go tell my family I’m safe. I need to talk to my mate alone and don’t tell them about my mate.” I said with a warning tone clear in it.

Lizzy got up and walked away. I could feel Serina’s questioning eyes on me and I gulped and got out of her lap to sit across from her. I could tell that annoyed her.
