The Alpha's Half-breed Mate

The rogue girl

Kayla

The Alpha of the rogue pack I'm from, decided I was his mate today. Being only 16, I can't recognize it. The Alpha, Drax, is 6'7, built like a brick house, with a square jaw, short, auburn hair and a long beard. He may be good-looking, but I'm 16. We don't recognize our mates before we get our wolves at 18, and I am nowhere near ready for s*x, or to find my mate. It doesn't help that both my parents are dead either, so the only thing I could think of to escape him, was to run. I bolted in the night, running for hours. I fell over rocks and logs, I even fell in the river at some point, but I had to escape.

I ran the entire night, and most of the next day when I got to the occupied land. I recognized it. It was one of the few packs that had offered us help, and even a home if we wanted, but I was too scared at the time to accept. I hear someone exiting one of the houses close to the boarder I had just crossed, and I quicken my pace. I stand behind him and open my mouth to ask for help, but I'm dehydrated and no words come out. The man freeze and slowly turn around, sniffing the air. I recognize the signs of a true mate, and I know for a fact my Alpha is not my mate now. My eyes are fixed upon his, and I feel like I can drown in them. His eyes are dark blue, like the deepest ocean, and I feel drawn to him. "Are you alright?" The man asks, and before I can answer, my ears start ringing and i fall to the ground. The world around me is pitch black and slowly my surroundings disappear.

I wake up in a room with bright light, white walls and beeping machines. I squint my eyes and hiss at the sharp light and bring a hand over my eyes to shield my eyes. "It's okay. I won't hurt you." I recognize the voice and turn my head. I slowly open my eyes and see the man I met at the boarder. He is stunning. The most handsome man I've ever seen. He looks to be in his mid-thirties maybe? His eyes are even bluer this close, and I can't help but blush. I open my mouth, but only a pathetic squeak comes out, making me blush harder from embarrassment. He chuckles and grab a cup before slowly bringing it to me. "Drink this. It will help." I nod and grab the cup, and I hum as the cold liquid quench my thirst. I give it back to him, and I am finally able to move my hand away from my eyes. "T... Thank you." My voice is hoarse and timid, but at this point, I don't care. I need to get away from the rogue Alpha. "What's your name, little one?" The man's voice is like my favorite melody; soothing and caring. "Kayla Whitaker," I say, and he smiles. "I'm Griffin. I'm Beta of this pack." I nod at his words. Griffin. It suites him. "I know you are my mate. I saw the way you sniffed the air, but I won't recognize you yet. I'm 17 in three weeks, but I do want to get to know you better, if you let me. I will not act upon anything, but I want to get to know you..." I trail off when I see the slight hurt in his eyes, but then he nods. "Yeah, I figured you were underage. But, I would like to get to know you better. I, too, won't act on the bond, that I can promise. I may be flirting, but I'm not some savage who goes for a girl that isn't old enough to truly recognize her mate. You have my word." He move closer to me, lift my hand and kiss it. Tingles and sparks rush over me and I smile. "I may not recognize you, but my body does, and I truly wish I was almost 18, but I am a patient girl." I smile wider and close my eyes, feeling safe for the first time in ages, knowing my mate will stay with me, always.
