The Fire
James Nelson is the Alpha of the Midnight Moon pack and has been since he turned 18. Since then, he has grown his pack from 700 members to well over 1,000 in just 6 short years. His Beta, Declan Hale is his closest friend and confidant. He helps him run this pack even if he is the packs biggest man-slut that walks this earth. James and Declan are both unmarked males so that makes them fair game to the unmarked she-wolves. James' current favorite play-thing, Joanna is the sexiest she wolf of the pack, and the biggest slut too. Shell open her legs for any male that looks her way. But there is only one walking piece of ass that she truly wants, Alpha James Nelson.
James' P.O.V.
As I am sitting in my office catching up on the latest pack new, upcoming events and meetings I hear a knock at the door. Sigh, I truly hope Declan isn't trying to hump anyone's leg off and causing a scene.
"It's open!" I yell expecting my mother or father to complain about the Beta, again. To my surprise, I see a great pair of sexy, long tan legs in heels standing in my doorway dragging my attention away from the papers on my desk. The very sexy and seductive she-wolf Joanna Miller is standing in my doorway waiting for me to notice how sexy she looks in what most likely is the tightest fitting and shortest dress she owns. This girl really knows how to catch a wolfs attention, the smell of jasmine and gardenia invade my nostrils as her natural scent fills the room.
"Jo, you know I work late on Thursdays plus I have an upcoming Alpha meeting this weekend I need to prepare for." I'm hoping that will buy me some time to hide the giant bulge growing in my jeans. No such luck. Dammit. "I know baby, but I've seen how stressed you are." she begins to strut towards me rubbing her hands up my arms towards my shoulders and leaning in to kiss and lick my neck, knowing what it does to me.
"Let me relieve your stress my Alpha. I know just how you like it." Turning my around in my office chair, she notices my bulge. "I see you're happy to see me Alpha. Let me give you a release."
Dropping down to her knees, she slowly unzips me using just her teeth. I adjust in my chair in anticipation. She pulls out my c**k, hard and ready for action. Quickly, she gets to work licking and pumping my shaft. Damn, she does know how to work a c**k. She finally takes me in her mouth after what felt like an eternity of torture. She starts slowly then picks up her pace, I can smell her arousal almost instantly. I'm in such a euphoria that I don't notice that shes moved down to my sack taking both balls into her mouth moaning with her own pleasure. She moves back to my c**k just in time. I got the sudden urge to grab her hair and f**k my frustration and loneliness into her throat, so I do.
I felt my release coming fast f**king hell this was amazing. F**k here it comes.
Sensing my big finish coming Joanna squeezed my balls and it broke the seal and I came in her mouth and she gobbled it up like she didn't want to miss a thing.
"Now, Alpha doesn't that feel better?" she asks I sigh with pleasure.
"OK Jo you really should go before my parents or Declan catches you in here. And I do need to catch up on some pack duties. Thank you."
Not wanting to leave, she finally gets up and walks out but not before bidding me a good night and giving me a come f**k me look.
Running my hands through my dark hair I try to focus on my paperwork but to no avail. I'm now 24 years old, and still have no mate. If I don't find one by the time I turn 30, I'll be able to take one of my choosing but I would rather have the Mood Goddess choose for me. One who is meant for me to love, respect, and cherish for all of my days. Not some floozy who throws herself at me for the position of Luna.
Failing to keep my focus, I decide to head off to bed for the night, thoughts of finding my mate, my one and only love fogging my tired brain. I slowly enter my room which is across the hall from my office I quickly change into sweats and fall into bed.

Six years ago
Raleigh's P.O.V.
I lay sleeping in my bed dreaming when I'm woken by screams of my family and pack members. I look out of the window to see fire all around us. It's wildfire season in Montana this time of year so it doesn't shock me to see the flames but these aren't ordinary flames. These flames are blue and purple. That's odd.
I run down out of my room to find my parents and brother and twin Renegade. Through the smoke I can't see anything, or anyone. I bolt outside to see my family kneeling on the ground in front of a group of manacling looking individuals. I quickly find a vantage point where I'm out of the sight of these horrible people but I can still see what's happening.
I hear one of the voices ask another "where there anymore members of the Alpha family in the house Jaz?"
"No Marn, I found nobody."
"Good. I want these mutts gone from existence. Dirty creatures you're a disgrace to the supernatural world and must be extinguished for existing." I wait a moment to see what they're going to do to my precious family.
"Do it." I hear the one called Marn order the others. And in an instant my entire family and support system has been wiped out. Gone. I quietly back away trying to not draw attention to myself and run away through the forest. Forcing back my tears I run until i can't run anymore. Hoping I'm far enough away to slow to a walk to find a place to rest.
I don't know for how long I ran or how far I got but I finally found a quiet grove of trees to rest under. The sun was just beginning to rise over the mountains. So I decided to rest myself so I can continue to find help.
When I awoke, it was dark again. I got up and began to jog away from my previous home, leaving my childhood and dead family behind me.
My name is Raleigh Martinez. I am the daughter of Raul and Regina, Alpha and Luna of the Shadow Moon pack and as of today which happens to be my 12th birthday, I am officially a rouge wolf. I keep walking in hopes of finding someone to help me survive or just end my misery.
After what felt like days of resting during light hours and walking at night, I had this feeling that I was being watched. By many eyes. I look around me and see 5 sets of yellow glowing eyes and growls to accompany the eyes. I stopped in my tracks too scared to move a muscle, or even breathe. Finally, a figure steps out of the shadows and a tall, menacing man in shorts addresses me.
"Why is there a lone rouge roaming my territory?" He waits for my response. I'm too scared and weak from lack of sleep and food to answer. My body goes into shock and I lose consciousness.

Present day
Raleigh's P.O.V.
It's been 6 years since I woke up here. The Night Walker pack. I've been the pack house slave ever since they found me roaming their territory that day. I have endured every torture possible. Any hope of escaping from this hell hole has permanently left me. The Alpha, Damien, keeps a very watchful eye on me. He allows his guards and family members to beat me on a daily basis. I have bruises and scars all over my body from the years of abuse I've been called every name in the book.
Tomorrow is my 18th birthday. Tomorrow I should be getting my wolf. It should be a day of celebration and excitement. But, deep down I knew something horrible was going to happen. Damien has voiced that he has a desire to make me his mate. And keep me here for the rest of my miserable life.
"Where is breakfast?!" I hear a booming voice yell across the dining hall. It was none other than the Alpha Damien.
I scurry into the dining hall with plates of bacon, eggs, biscuits, and fruit.
"You're completely useless as a slave whatever your name is. Hopefully you will be a better mate for me after tomorrow." growls Damien.
"I'm so sorry Alpha. I was lost in thought." F**k that's gonna earn me a beating for sure. s**t.
Damien grabs me by my chocolate hair and pulls me to my knees.
"Did you just give your Alpha an excuse for your laziness??"
"N-no Sir I'm sorry."
"Tomorrow is your birthday correct?"
"Yes Alpha." I respond.
He had promised to let me off for the day to spend in seclusion no duties for the day.
"Well if your tiny brain can remember, I did promise the day off for you. Well, now you can forget it. I have to host the annual Alpha convention this weekend, and you're going to spend the day getting rooms prepared for the visiting Alphas and their Betas."
I knew this bastard was going to renege on his word, ugh. I quickly finish cleaning up breakfast and begin on the list of chores Damien had given me. F**k, this is going to take forever.
I decided to begin on preparing the guestrooms. which will be on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the mansion. I open the windows letting in the brisk mountain air. I change the sheets, vacuum the carpets, clean the bathroom, dust the furniture.
By the time I had finished the guestrooms, it was time to prepare lunch for Damien and his crew of space cadets and bimbos.
After lunch, I hit the to do list again. I dust the grand staircase, scrub the floors, clean the dining hall, polish the silverware, and finally I go to clean the conference room where the actual meeting will take place. When I open the door, I see no one. until the door shuts behind me with Damien standing there with a dark, possessive look on his face. s**t, I'm screwed.
"Alpha, I didn't see you there." I bow my head out of respect.
"Raleigh, how would you like to be my chosen mate? You're going to be 18, you can have me. I want you to be my Luna."
"I uh......I can't Alpha. I don't believe I'm worthy enough for the Luna position or to be your mate. I'm truly flattered that you want me."
"Wrong answer babe. You're going to be my mate, and my Luna. Whether you want to or not. Tomorrow when all the other Alphas arrive I want you by my side as my mate. To show those pompous bastards I can choose my mate. I don't need the Goddess to choose for me. I know what I want. And what I want is that tight, pure little body of yours." He moves closer to me, I back away and bump into the table trying to keep a good distance between us. I know what he's capable of. He's the reason behind most of my scars and bruises.
He keeps closing the distance between us. Finally, he's close enough to grab me by the waist and shove me onto the table with his full weight pinning me down.
"Now that I have you where I want you, I want you Raleigh. I want you as my mate. If you reject me again I will give you a lesson you'll NEVER forget."
I struggle to form the words needed. "Not in a million years will I agree to be mated to a thug and bully like you." He did not like what I had to say.
"You insolent little b***h. I took you in when you were found roaming my territory as a rogue. I gave you shelter, purpose, a meaning to your useless little life and this is the thanks I get!" He grabs me by my hair and stomps through the kitchen to the basement door which also happens to be the door to my sleeping quarters. Damien shoves me through the door down the stairs and begins my newest punishment. Letting the Beta female, Emileigh beat me and berate me.
"Back for another lesson already? You never seem to learn. Oh well, I was pretty bored anyway." she kicks me down to the ground.
"Go easy on her Em, but teach her a lesson. I do need her coherent tomorrow. She will be mine." I hear Damien walk back up.
Emileigh begins to kick me, knocking the breath out of me. She gets down and pulls a pocket knife from her jeans, "Maybe this will make you see, Damien is the only mate you need. After I'm done here no other male will want you. Not even your destined." She begins to cut into my cheek leaving a 2 inch gash that will definitely scar.
By the time Emileigh had finished with me I was bloody and out of breath and smart-ass remarks.
"Oh you better go clean up b***h. The Alphas are beginning to arrive. Happy Birthday bitch."
Yeah, happy f*****g birthday to me. Then I hear a voice in the back of my head.
Our communication stops and I finally get the strength to stand and head to my tiny wash room. It has a toilet, sink, and make shift shower which is always cold. I turn the water on and stand under it. Over the years I have gotten used to the coldness.
After I get cleaned up and head up the steps, I get to work preparing the dinner for tonight. I refuse to stand next to that monster after what he let that crazy Beta do to me, I would rather die then be in a room with him. Suddenly, I smell the best smell I have ever encountered. It was a mix of fresh rain and musk. I let my nose take over and followed the scent.
When I finally got to the source of the scent I saw the most beautiful creature I had ever laid my eyes on. Forgetting that I look like I just got mobbed on the street I just stood there staring at this piece of art that just strolled through the mansion doors.
Rosaline began pacing in my mind
I finally snap back to reality, just to see that this beautiful man is walking towards me as if in a trance. I turn to run back to the kitchen but before I was out of reach, I felt a gentle touch on my arm.
"Hello there, gorgeous"
"......" apparently his presence made me lose the ability to form words like a normal were-person. I am so hopeless I thought to myself. Come on Raleigh use your words! Say hi back!
"... Hi..." I say in an almost whisper. I've never met a more gorgeous man and I've never wanted to jump his bones so badly. I couldn't believe he was actually talking to me. I probably looked like a train wreck. My face was destroyed and I never thought that I'd ever be called gorgeous by anyone. Let alone one as perfect as him.
Ugh, I shove her to the back of my mind.
"Um I hate to be rude but I have to get back to the kitchen. I have a meal to prepare or I'll get into serious trouble with the Alpha."
"Are you a pack member? An omega?"
"Uh not exactly. But I don't have time to explain. I hope you enjoy your stay and I hope to see you later."
She retreats back. Ugh, I can't deal with this today. I have too much to do. I head back to the kitchen and start the day. But I cannot keep my head out of the clouds. Who was he? Why did the Moon Goddess choose him for me? Was I worthy?
James' P.O.V.
We finally made it to Night Walker pack's mansion. 4 grouling hours of listening to Declan go on and on about the latest conquest was getting under my damn skin.
Bruno my wolf pipes up.
Bruno retreats as we pull up to the gates.
"Finally made it!" Declan is as giddy as a school girl to be away from his parents so he can truly w***e around.
"Dec, were not here to seduce every she wolf that has a pulse, ok? a little decorum please."
"Yes Alpha."
We park and get out of the car and walk up to the main doors which swing open before us.
As soon as I step in the mediocre mansion, I smell the most wonderful and sweet smell that I've ever smelt. It was a rose and coconut mix. So delicate and Bruno was going mad with desire.
I begin to look around us to find the source of the smell, and as soon as I look to my left, I see the most beautiful being I have ever beheld. Dark chocolate hair, petite frame, freckles and piercing green eyes. I had to speak with her. Know who she was.
I walk away from Declan almost as if I was in a trance.
"Hey! Where you goin?? The guest rooms are this way!" Declan yells after me.
I don't pay any attention to him. Finally I am withing arms length of this gorgeous being.
"Hello there, gorgeous"
"... Hi..."
"Um I hate to be rude but I have to get back to the kitchen. I have a meal to prepare or I'll get into serious trouble with the Alpha."
"Are you a pack member? An omega?" I ask
"Uh not exactly. But I don't have time to explain. I hope you enjoy your stay and I hope to see you later." She quickly retreats to the kitchen out of my sight.
Bruno huffs and puts up a block.
I come back to Dec and he gives me a what the f**k look I tell him "I will explain when we get to our rooms. Let's go"
Upstairs, we get into our rooms and Declan closes and locks the door. "OK man spill it. What the hell was that down there?"
"Bro I just met my destined. My one to love, cherish and protect."
"I never thought you would. I thought you were going to be able to choose a mate. You get a name?"
"No she ran back to the kitchen before I could. I need to know her name."
"well dinner will be served soon. Maybe she'll be there or you catch her in the hall. You need to pursue this bro."
"I know. Bruno is pissed I didn't push harder. He shut me out."
I go out into the hall hoping to get a glimpse of my one and only. No luck. Dammit.
About an hour later we were all sitting in the dining hall for dinner. Disinterested in conversation I kept my eyes locked on the kitchen saloon doors.
Finally this beauty came running out with trays of food for us Alphas, she looked like she was struggling so using my wolf speed, I went to help her.
"Hello again. Let me assist you.....?" I paused waiting for a name to come out of her gorgeous pink, kissable lips.
"Uh..Raleigh. Raleigh Martinez. Thank you....." she also paused for me to give her my name.
"Alpha James Nelson of the Midnight Moon pack"
"well thanks for your help Alpha Nelson. I better get back to work."
"Wait, I need to speak with you. When can I see you again? and where?"
in a hushed tone she replied.
"Midnight by the koi pond behind the mansion. Be sure to come alone and make sure you don't get followed."
"See you then Raleigh."
Raleigh. what a perfect name for a perfect girl. I head to my seat and count down the hours until I can see her again. Never wanting to be apart from her.
