My Alpha

'So, this is it's. I thought to myself. A thick scent of blood consumed my senses. A dull this in my chest that was nearing it's final beat. I look around at the mess I got myself into this time. knowing it to be my last. why wasn't I more appreciative of the life I was given. It's not like my life was hard or demeaning. I just didn't like the fact my destiny was pre-determined before I was even born. And there it was a pair of sapphire eyes staring at me with hatred, a deep burning hatred that you could feel in the depths of your gut, but something was hidden behind the hatred was that remorse. Well for you to understand, I better start from the beginning. Hi, my name is Venus Lee DeLorentez, Vee for short. My mum named me after the goddess of love, s*x, beauty and fertility. I know not the name I would have chosen for myself but she was a spiritual lady, not only believing in our moon goddess who is the creator of all our species and we cherish her as a god, who is in control of who we are destined to be mated to, our shifting into our wolf counterparts she is a patron a beacon if you will to all female werewolves especially our Luna's. my mum was into all mythological Gods and Goddesses, always telling me they all have a role in this world. My story begins on my last day of college, I am the first in my family to have gone to college even at a young age, father always said I was to smart for my own good, I even graduated with a full master's degree, granted it was in sociology. I know not very enticing but I had my reasons. My mum had been very overbearing women since father died to another alpha just a mere 2 months before I had to leave and start college. Mum and Dad were head of our pack 'crystal lake pack', the largest werewolf pack in the states, father even suggested the world as most packs were a lot smaller in nature because they lacked the skills necessary to successfully run their pack of any size greater than 150. As most alphas are hot headed and run their packs into the ground trying to gain land and trying to swell their packs with numbers. In our world that's why we fight. Once you are part of a pack that pack is your life, there is nothing you wouldn't do for them. An alpha of the second largest pack I knew of challenged father, the 'dark moon pack' so he could take over our pack. Father being a honorable man accepted the challenge, not knowing if it would be his last. My heart broke that day. My father was the foundation which kept his family and his pack strong. And he lost to a mutt all for the sake of land and power. Mum and some friends who I had all but forgotten, were present at my graduation, front row and center if you could believe it. Their faces glowing with pride, mum even shed a tear as my name was announced to proceed to the stage to collect my masters degree. I could sense she wished father could see this, as did I. Deep down I knew he was standing right beside me, with a giant grin spreading from ear to ear, as I shook the hand of the man who made my life a living hell with my degree, but pushed me to be better than average. With a sigh of relief, I exited the stage, as I was about to approach my mum, I felt eyes burning into me, not of lust which I had become used to, with all the horny college boys running around. But of rage, hatred and a touch of disgust. As I searched the crowd that had formed all the other graduates and their families. I laid eyes on the man I never wanted to see again. The mutt that challenged my father, and subsequently killed him. But instead of feeling hatred towards him, something sinister was stirring. something I couldn't shake. This perfect specimen of a man was leaning against a tall oak tree, his aura was menacing, strong demanding respect. His freshly styled pompadour chocolate hair stood resolute against the calming autumn breeze, not one strand out of place. Rugged facial hair that made him look dangerous. His chiselled muscles just aching to burst from his well fitted white shirt and black slacks. With a noticeable thick etching of tattoos down both arms. A part of me wanted to see what else he was hiding beneath his clothes. Then my eyes met his, they were sapphire blue, the pure rage he was sending my way was strong and unbearable, as if something inside me ached for his affection. I haven't looked at a guy knowing that on my 18th birthday my mate would be revealed to me. But there was something about him I couldn't shake. As I approached my mum, her eyes were wet with joy, she had a smile of absolute pride plastered across her face. I couldn't help but smile back. A lot has changed while I was away. Mum pulled me in for a welcoming hug. 'I am so proud of you Venus's mum exclaimed with a note of pride lingering on every word she said. 'If only your father could be here, you know he was always proud of his peanut' mum said as fresh tears streamed down her face, as they did mine. In my time away I still missed dad, he and I were the same in nature, mum always said that I was just like my dad. He and I both spoke our minds, except dad had a filter, and I never found mine. We had the same humour, but to a fault we both lived for our family and our pack. Father always said I'd make a great Luna one day, we just needed to work on my mouth. When mum finally released me from her grasp, I turned to be face to face with my childhood friend. She and I were opposites in some ways, we both stood 5'4, porcelain skin, where my hair is black as midnight, hers was as light a blonde as possible without being mistaken for white. My skin was fair and absent of blemishes and she had a fine array of freckles. A split second past when she broke the tension, with a playful jab to my shoulder. 'What too good to say hi' she playfully exclaimed. 'No, no.... I just didn't realise how much I missed you' pulling Sophie in for a hug. Looking over Sophie's shoulders were two familiar faces, Jason and Mary. Both giving an approving smile, while joining in on the hug. 'So Vee, what's next' Mary whispered as not to disturb the affection of friends. 'What next' I thought to myself. You know I haven't even thought of that. 'What is Vee's next move, do I stay here or do I return home?' I thought it through, it took less time than I had thought it would, as my future was in the balance. 'I'm coming home' I whispered in return. Then all of a sudden, the once friendly hug, was tremendously tighter as though I had the approval of my friends in returning home. My mind wondered to home; I haven't been home since leaving 18 months ago. The majestic mountains out the back of the pack house, which was set off by the crystal Blue lake, which perfectly mirrored the mountains. My pack had been here since the beginning we lived in a castle not a massive castle, more like a mansion in today's standards which complemented the scenery and not stand out like a sore thumb. Below the castle was a village, where the pack resided. It is a sight to be seen, truly magical. The Alpha and family accompanied by the beta, and the gamma along with their respective families lived in the castle, which was maintained by the omegas. Then dread covered my face, after father died and he was no longer alpha where do we live, I was very aware I was still and Alpha by blood, but I was no longer heir to the pack. I had told mum I was coming home, she immediately went searching for boxes and bringing the car to my dorm, my friends followed me to my dorm, as to help me pack to return home. We were chatting and catching up on the events that have been happening in my absence. Then I turned the corner to access the stairs to my dorm and wack, I walked into the hardest, chiselled back I had ever seen, Gathering my bearings, I realised I walked into him. Alpha Jackson
