The Alpha’s abandoned daughter

Chapter 7

Hunter’s POV:

I had been sent to Arkansas by my father, Austin Miller, the beta of the Worlds biggest werewolf pack also known as the Moonlight pack. He is the beta to John Wilson who also happens to be the president of the United States and the leader of the werewolf population in the US.

I’m not entirely sure what I am supposed to be doing here but I report everything that I see and hear to my father. I turned 18 about three months ago, and with Alpha John not having a son, I was next in line for becoming the alpha when he stepped down. That is unless one of his daughters were born alphas. But highly unlikely, they are all pricks just like their mother. Luna Kate was just an all around b***h but almost no one knew about that outside of the upper ranks. Her two twin daughters are nothing different. Just thinking about how they treat the servants makes my blood boil.

As asked by my father, I went to a small town high school today. Something in this place seemed to draw me in. I was all for it seeing how I have been bored these last few days and needed something to do. My father didn’t exactly give me a mission, just told me to come here and snoop around. Report back anything that looked suspicious. No clue what is supposed to qualify as “suspicious” but hey.

I walked into the office as the front deck lady was giving me a side eye look. She looked very young and judging by the way she blushed as she bit her lower lip, I’d say she became pretty fond of me really quick.

“Well hello there handsome, what can I do ya for?” She asked while putting her elbows on the counter between us. She smiled really big and wrinkled her nose a little bit.

I felt my face get hot as I smiled back at her. “I’m here to see an old friend of mine.” I flipped my hair to the side and put my hands in my leather jacket pockets.

“Of course! And who would that be?” The young lady stood up straight and had a pen in her hands.

I looked at the wall right behind her to see a bunch of pictures of teachers hanging on the wall. One name stood out to me and before I could think about it my mouth just started moving. “Mrs. Abigail Johnson.”

The young girl looked a little displeased by my answer but walked over to get a visitor's pass for me. Noticing the way her mood had just changed by the fact I said a woman’s name I added “she’s my sister in law, don’t worry.” With a wink.

The smile came immediately back to her face and she blushed. “Here is your visitor's pass. Her classroom is down the blue hall. Go straight then to the right. Keep walking until you find it.” She placed the sticker on my pec and lingered there a little while longer. “And if you ever have a free moment..” she trailed off and slipped something in my pocket.

Her touch left an imprint on my chest as she walked away. As an unmated male, almost every female that touched me made me feel slightly attracted to them. I knew my mate would be out there somewhere but I didn’t have any idea who it would be. Most of the time, the moon goddess gave everyone the ability to know their mate before they had their wolf but I have not met her yet. I’ve traveled an awful lot to different packs all over the world.

I watched her as long as I could before she disappeared in a back room. I turned on my heels to the door and shook my head at the thought of me with that human. As soon as I walked through the door into the hallway, I was hit with this powerful wave that felt like the roar of an Alpha. But I wasn’t aware of any sort of Alpha that should be in high school. The weird thing was no one anywhere reacted but one. The one that had reacted was a woman that looked like the Johnson chick I said I was visiting.

She looked to be in a hurry to get somewhere. Wherever it was she was going, I was curious to find out. The woman put a key in a door then quickly went inside. When she shut the door, I ran towards it. As I got closer to the door, the strongest scent hit me like there was no tomorrow.

Mate.

My wolf Cade said to me. He began to howl and pant like he’s never done before.

Wait, for real? Here?

Sure as day. Our mate is in there!

I’ve never heard him so giddy about anything before. I mean I’ve only known him for like 3 months but still.

My heart began to flutter as I touched the door. I couldn’t hear anything from behind it. I went to turn the door and it stung me. Almost as if it was laced with wolfsbane. I felt drawn to the room behind this door, my mate was behind there. I need to figure out who that is.

But first. I have to call my father.

……………………………………………………

“Yes dad, it was my mate! Cade all but came out to claim her himself!” I had been on the phone with my father for almost half an hour now telling him about the school and how I felt the roar of an alpha. He had told me that there was only a small pack in this part of Arkansas and I was on my way there now to check it out. But of course I couldn’t keep that I had found my mate from him. He had been waiting for the day I found my mate, as I have.

“Well, go on boy. What did she look like?” He sounded as though he was finally proud of me.

I felt my whole body tense up at his words. I never had actually seen her, just smelled her and felt the pull from our bond. I took a moment to think about how to tell him, knowing that he was going to think I was crazy.

“Well. I actually never saw her. I only sensed the bond and smelled her sweet scent.” I rubbed the back of my neck as the words came out of me all awkward sounding.

“What? You never actually saw her? So she could be the ugliest person alive. Is she even a werewolf?” He spat at me through the phone.

A small growl that I have no idea where came from escaped my mouth at his words. I could not believe the words he said about my mate. Of course she is a werewolf, other creatures don’t have scents like we do. Of course she is beautiful. I don’t even have to see her face to know just how beautiful she is.

“I have to go.” I don’t have to defend my mate to him. I ended the call and shoved my phone in my pocket. The men back home had already sent over the only known pack in this area's location to me, so I jumped in my Jeep and started driving in that direction.

My blood was still boiling at how my father spoke. He was never proud of me, or at least he never once told me he was. When I gained my wolf he was disappointed in me because I wasn’t a born alpha. Part of me felt like he just sent me on this so-called mission to get me away. I sighed at the thought of him just wanting me gone. I’ve been trying to please him my whole life but nothing was ever good enough. Mission after mission all over the world to different packs and still. Nothing from him.

As I’m driving, I come across some cars driving in the opposite direction as me. They were driving fast, and I wouldn’t have even given them a second thought if it wasn’t for that captivating smell that hit me so hard I almost crashed into the ditch. I pulled over and jumped out of my seat. My heart rate quickened and my stomach started to get butterflies just from her scent. I wanted to run to the smell, but I had to find the pack. My heart and mind were fighting with each other.

Run after her!

I can’t. I have a mission from my father.

Please. We need to find out who she is! The pack can wait.

Father won’t be happy with this. Alright. Let’s go get her.

I hopped back in the Jeep and my tires screeched as I did a quick u-turn as I raced after the cars ahead. I have to learn who my mate is, I don’t care what my father will say.

…………………………………………………

After the gut wrenching drive to God knows where we are, the train of cars comes to an immediate halt and wolves come flying out of the forest around us. I decided to stay in the car until most everyone had passed me and then I saw her. The most beautiful girl I’d ever laid my eyes on. Cade was howling and kicking in the back of my head as I carefully got out of my Jeep. All of me wanted to go up to her and introduce myself but she seemed a little distracted by something. She seemed upset and my body ached to figure out what it was that was upsetting her so much. She was putting her fingers to her temples as if trying hard to concentrate on something.

Every step I took to get closer to her, the most amazing scent was hitting me harder. I took in all of her beauty before me. The natural sun kissed look to her skin, her reddish brown hair, the obvious defined muscles on her body. She had the slightest curve to her chest and butt, the thought of her beneath me made my d**k instantly hard

My body tensed at the sudden drop of her body followed by the sound of bones breaking. She let out one of the most powerful roars I’ve ever had the pleasure of witnessing. The roar was so powerful that it literally knocked me backwards. As I regained my footing I looked up at her. She was crying out in pain as her body was beginning to shift.

“AhhhHHH!” She screamed out in pain as she got on all fours.

I ran to her side just as she threw her head back and took a big deep breath. I wanted to take her pain away from her. I wanted to make it all better but there was nothing I could do. I bent down beside her to try and calm her down.

She looked at me as her canine teeth began to come through. Her eyes kept flickering between yellow and red.

Could she be..?

I quickly pushed that thought from my head as she fell against me. “What is happening to me! Who are you?!” She shouted as she threw her head back to the ground and clawed at the dirt below her.

“Have you never shifted before? Oh God. I’m not the right person for this.” I began to panic as the realization of my mate shifting for the very first time hit me. That is the most painful thing anyone would ever have to endure other than losing a mate. “Is there anyone around here to help?”

“Oh it hurts everywhere! What is happening! Make it stop!” She said as pleading with me, tears streaming down her face.

Another bone cracked.

“I can’t do anything sweetheart. Just try to relax, that’s the only way to make it better.” I tried to comfort her through this process. I remembered when I shifted for the first time, there were wolves everywhere around me, helping me through the process.

Another bone snapped.

She growled something fierce as she looked back at me. Her wolf was coming out and it was mad about something. I quickly got to my feet and ran away as fast as I could.

“Lord help whoever she’s mad at.” I whispered to myself.
