The Alpha's Mate

I woke up to another day in Portland, Oregon, sun shining cloud free day. As I rolled out of bed, I kept thinking to myself I wonder who's gunna bring it up today. Everyone kept telling me I needed to find my mate, that they can feel my strength decrease. I keep brushing everyone off about it, but I already knew I needed to find my mate. I walked in to the bathroom and looked at my self in the mirror, I stood 6 foot 5 inches, short black hair, built muscular build, tan skin tone, and blue eyes. I thought to my self it is going to be a long day. I turned on the shower pushing any thoughts out of my mind, when I heard my wolf say "Don't worry we will find her.". My wolf's name is Jay, he has brown and black fur, with brownish gold eyes. I said "I know Jay". That's when I something made me snap back to reality, some one screamed my name. "JAMES!" Ryan said. Ryan was my beta he already found his mate, her name is Cynthia. As I rushed to finish my shower, I hear him scream my name again. "JAMES!" Ryan said. I get out of the shower turning off the water, I opened my bathroom door and Ryan was standing in my bedroom. I look at Ryan at he looked like he just ran all the way here to my room. I gave him a confused look, but then realized that if he ran all the way up here to my room it must be important. I wrap a towel around my waist and step out of the bathroom. "Sorry I was in the shower, what's up? Are you okay?" I finally said. It was silent for a minute before he spoke. "We caught a rogue crossing the pack border, what did u want us to do with him?" "Bring him to my office I will meet you there in 10 minutes." I stated. After Ryan left my room I rushed to get dressed. After picking out some clothes I got dressed before I left my room, I took a look in the mirror making sure I looked okay. I decided on wearing a Navy blue tee shirt, and a pair of black cargo shorts with a pair of grey sneakers. Once I was satisfied with how I looked I left my room, and headed to my office to meet Ryan and the rogue. As I headed to my office thousand of questions were running through my mind about this rogue. I just need information but rogues usually don't talk because he doesn't have anything to lose. Rogues are wolves that have been banished from there pack they smell like garbage. They have no family no kids they are all alone for the rest of their life. When I entered my office I saw Ryan standing in front of the rogue, his eyes met mine and he swiftly moved out of the way standing to the side of the rogue, so that I can swiftly move to stand in front of him. As I tower over the rogue who's sitting in a chair in front of my desk I stared him down going through the questions rambling through my head. I decided to start off with why he was crossing our borders. I kneeled down to get eye level with him. "I am Alpha James of the Sacred Bliss Pack, I want to know why you were crossing our borders?" I finally said. The rogue just stared at James but did not respond. This made me irritated, my eyes got a shade darker. My irritation made evident on my face I stood up so that I was towering over him again. This time with my Alpha tone I asked a different question raising my voice slightly. "What are you doing in my territory?!" The rogue still did not say anything, but kept James gaze with out flinching one bit. After an hour of asking questions I realized that he was not going to talk. I sat down at my desk and stared the rogue down trying to figure out what I want to do with him. I need him for information, I need to figure out why he was here, and why he crossed our borders knowing we were the strongest pack by far in America. I looked at Ryan and finally decided what I wanted to do with him. "Take him to the prison cells, tie him up with silver chain until he is ready to talk." I stated authoritatively. Ryan nodded then grabbed the rogue by the arm, and dragged him out of my office and headed towards to the prison. I immediately linked Jack one of my best pack warriors and told him "help Ryan escort the rogue to the prison.". Jack instantly linked back "Yes sir, Alpha.". After I was confirmed that he was safely in the prison, tied up and secured, and no one was hurt in the process I relaxed a bit. Just then my cellphone rang I looked at it and it was my father. Anger washed over me as everything he did to us come flooding back to me. I ignored the call, not ready to forgive him after everything he did. Even after a couple years later I still can not talk to him with out being angry. My phone rang again it being my father once again I ignored it. Everything he did came flooding back to my memory. *Backstory* As I thought back over it, he abused my mother everyday, and when she was beaten up and couldn't take anymore hits, he abused me and my little brother Ryan who is now my beta. Once he cheated on her she finally had enough and decided to leave him, even though it hurt her physically and mentally she still left him. She didn't take us because with us having Alpha blood she knew we had to stay to take the Alpha position once my father no longer could. After she left he started drinking heavily, and he took out his anger on me and Ryan. No matter how much we cried, or begged him to stop he still beat us. Eventually we got used to it Ryan and I reached the age that we could challenge him for the Alpha title. We decide we would challenge him, we trained with each other everyday until we were strong enough to take him on. Ryan challenged him first and lost to him, he was not thinking clearly. He was fighting blindly out of anger and rage for everything he had went through from seeing mom broken so many times to getting beaten him self as well as seeing me getting beat for trying to protect him from getting beaten. He barely made it out of the fight he had some serious injuries. That only fueled my anger towards him he almost killed his own son for the portion of Alpha. I challenged him a week later, I watched him for years, I knew how he fought. I have experienced his strength and speed in training, so I knew how powerful and strong he really was. I entered the fight and as soon as I saw him anger washed over my body. My wolf Jay wanted out, and I was going to let him out. Soon as they said begin I shifted and launched for him, he dodged and lunged back at me. After a few more dodges and a few more lounges at me I noticed he was tiring out. It makes sense an Alpha gets weaker over time with out his Luna. I shifted back and he shifted back as well, I ran and tackled him letting Jay surface with out shifting. After tackling him to the ground I was on top of him, I started punching him knocking my fists in to his face one after another landing punch after punch. I was on the 8th punch when I heard his nose break from the impact of the punch, on the 9th punch I heard his jawbone crack. I looked down at him and saw blood pouring from his nose. I got off of him and said "That's for abusing me, Ryan, and our mother." and I turned to walk away. As I was walking away I heard him yell "YOUR MOM WAS A b***h!", before I knew it I had shifted and landed back on top of him in my wolf form. I was growling and I bared my canines at him, I put one of my paws on his abdomen and extended my claws deep inside of him, blood started trickling out. I heard him scream, but I didn't care at that moment. I drug my claws while still dug in to his abdomen downward slicing 3 large slashes on his abdomen, blood started pouring out creating a puddle beneath him. He screamed out even louder emitting a large growl as well. I stopped clawing him and shifted back in to my human form. I got off of him and said "I am the new Alpha now, and as new Alpha I am banishing you from the pack, you are to never come near the pack or this territory again!" and I walked off to the pack house leaving him there bleeding. They took him to the pack clinic. They got him healed up and I had Jack my best warrior drop him off at the pack border. That was 2 years ago I was 28 years old at the time. Now 2 years later I have the packs respect and my brother as my beta. *Backstory Ended* I pushed those thought away from my mind when my phone rang once again, it being my father. That's 3 times now, pushing all thoughts out of my mind, I pressed ignore once again I put my phone down on my desk, and left my office. I headed towards the pack training grounds, I needed to blow off some steam. After training with my pack warrior and team members we headed back to the pack house. We piled in the pack house starving from training all morning. Ryan's mate Cynthia had made lunch for everyone who trained today. we all sat down and looked over the table Cynthia made fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. Everyone dug in and ate until they couldn't anymore, after everyone ate most of everybody went their separate ways. I told Ryan to go spend some time with Cynthia, and that if anything came up I would link him. He nodded and left with Cynthia to go to their room, and I went back to my office. I sat down at my desk and picked up my phone, i saw I had 6 more missed calls from my father. It must be important to call me 9 times today. I didn't want to speak to him, but I guess I need to. I reluctantly called him back and he answered on the first ring. "Hey James" My father said. "What do you want" I said coldly. it was silent for a moment before he responded. "James your mother passed away this morning." he said. I was silent for a moment, my eyes widened a mixture of emotions flew through me from anger to sad and in-between. "What? How?" I said a little less coldly. "A rogue killed her when she was on the way to visit you and Ryan this morning" He said. "I have to go now" I said coldly and hung up before he could say anything. As I realize that the rogue we have in our prison is the one who killed my mother, now it makes sense why he would be near our territory. It's makes sense why he would of crossed the border if she made it over the border. but what doesn't make sense is why would he kill her? She didn't have any enemies she was one of the sweetest woman you would ever have met. After thinking about it I linked Ryan and Jack and said "Bring the rogue to my office now!". They both replied "Yes Sir" In a matter of seconds. Fifteen minutes later Ryan and Jack drag the rogue in to my office and sat him in the chair in front of my desk. Ryan looked at me and he knew something was up, I looked at Jack and dismissed him. Ryan searched my face for answers, but I stayed silent for a few moments. "The rogue is here Alpha, can u tell me what is going on?" Ryan broke the silence. I shot one look at the rogue and he stared back at me and a smirk formed on his face. "This rogue has killed our mother." I simply stated. "James this isn't something to joke about, how do you know this?" Ryan questioned. "I just talked to our father, he said she was on the way to visit you and I when she was attacked by a rogue this morning." I said anger evident in my voice. "He was caught in our territory this morning, that would make sense on why he was in our territory or even near it, as well as right after we put him in prison our father called me but I ignored it thinking he just wanted to talk. After I finished lunch I came back up here to my office and looked at my phone and saw he called 6 more times for a total of 9 times today. I reluctantly called him back and he told me she was on her way to come visit us and she was attacked by a rogue. I knew it was the same one we caught and by the smirk on his face I can tell I am right." I stated furiously. Ryan's eyes grew dark with rage and anger, he was trying not to let his wolf shift right now. He looked to me and asked me simply "What do you want to do with him". After sitting down trying to decide what to do staring at the rogue that had a sideways smirk on his face, I had finally decided. I looked over at Ryan who was staring down the rogue with venomous eyes. "Ryan, Kill him, and burn the body."
