The Alpha

Chapter 4

Kate's POV 

I was more scared of hurting someone else rather than getting hurt myself. I have hurt some people because of the secret that I have been hiding for so long. I guess you can call me a witch, I don't know how it works because I thought that when a witch was born with siphon abilities then they would not have magic unless they siphon power from supernatural beings. Yet I have both. I don't need to siphon energy to get magic but if I'm casting a spell that requires more energy than it is necessary. Not that I ever have. I can also siphon energy from humans, but they don't have much energy compared to the supernatural. That being said, I have indeed hurt people, but never on purpose. I am yet to take full control of my siphon abilities and when I feel a strong emotion like fear, anger, or sadness, my powers take over. I have never met another supernatural creature, or at least that's what I think. 

When I heard a growl, my thoughts were cut short and when I saw a huge black wolf. That was beautiful I might add, with soft looking fur that was black as the night sky. I knew that that was a werewolf and that I might be in deep trouble now. 

I believe in werewolves, vampires, and other things like that because well because of myself. How could I not believe in myself? Plus, that wolf was huge as a said before, so there is no other explanation. 

"Shift" was all the guy towering over me said. By the way he was smirking and what he said, he might be a wolf too. In return he got a growl followed by the wolf walking slowly towards use. 

The guy in front of me pulled a shiny object from his pocket and put it against my neck. It was a knife. 

"This knife is silver, and the silver part might not matter as much because it’s still a knife that can pierce trough that skin." the wolf growled and then a human was in his place. I was shocked to see Liam standing right where that wolf was a second ago. 

"Good now alpha, is she important to you or is she just an innocent you want to save," he said the last part with a chuckle.     

"nah she has to be special, your mate maybe?"

Mate? That's what Joule said before a woke up. I know from reading about wolf stories that mates are 2 people that are destined for one another. Am I really Liam's mate but then why didn't he tell me? Does he not want me? Well, he did invite me to his house. 

"She is of no use to you, let her go." Liam said angerly, while holding his gaze on me. 

Within a few seconds the guy in front of me was in front of Liam with the knife to his neck. Liam was too distracted by me to dodge and now if he moves, he could get hurt. 

"One wrong move alpha boy and the silver will poison you."       

I couldn't contain my anger. He had Liam vulnerable because of me and now I don't know what I could do.

I used my power to fly the knife out his hand and into a tree. Next a used that same power to fly Liam to out of harm and pull the other guy to me. When he was an inch away, I put my hand out to grab his neck. 

He looked shocked and terrified. I smirked at that and siphoned all the energy from him, draining his life force. When he was dead his body laid on the ground life less. Although I had just got a lot of energy, I felt sick thinking a just killed someone. I turned to see Liam staring at me, wide eyed. When I looked into his eyes there was pride, awe, and love in his eyes. I turn back at the man I just killed and that's the last thing I remember. 

Liam’s POV

She was using magic. She is a witch. I looked at her with love and pride as I saw her using her powers. She’s strong. Before I could walk to her she was unconscious on the floor.

I couldn’t comprehend what was going on. Witches that are born with siphon abilities can’t use magic unless they steal energy or a life force. She used magic then she drained. It doesn’t make sense. Did she steal some from me? No, Jake would have told me, and we defiantly wouldn’t be able to shift. Can she be both? No, that can’t be. There is no record of that. All the witches I’ve come across say that one witch can’t be a normal witch and a siphon witch at the same time.

My thoughts are interrupted when Jace calls out to me, handing me a pair of basketball shorts. I quickly put them on. I start to walk towards Kate while saying “James, get a room ready and announce to the pack that they have three days to prepare for the celebration of their Luna.” James shocked face is quickly dismissed as he heads back to the pack house to do as I said.

“A human is our Luna? Is that even possible?” One of my warriors said, which caused all eyes to focus at my unconscious mate that is now in my arms. I let out a low growl which causes them to shift their eyes from my mate to the ground.

“Mine.” I say possessively. Then I continue.

“She is not human. She’s a witch.” And with that I start running to the pack hospital.

Kate’s POV

I could hear voices, but I couldn’t wake up. My eyelids felt too heavy, so I decided to listen to the conversation. It was Liam and a female.      

“How is she?” he said concern tracing his voice.

“She’s doing well. She just needs rest because of the blood loss.”

“Can she be moved to a room?”

“She can but remember she won’t wake till a few days from now. Her body needs time to replace the blood she lost.”

“OK. Thank you, doctor, you may go.”    

“Yes Alpha”

I felt something on my hand, but I couldn’t stay aware as I drifted into nothingness.

When I heard voices once again, I tried to open my eyes, but it was no use. All my efforts were wasted.  So again, I decided to listen in the conversation.

“Liam you can’t stay here for long. You need to go back to paperwork. I know you hate it and procrastinate but this is too much you’ve been here all day. I know it hurts but the pack still needs an Alpha.” It was a male voice.

“I didn’t ask for this James. I didn’t even want a mate, but I can’t leave. My mind won’t be focused and my heart aches when I even think about leaving her. I thought it would better if I took her to a human hospital but that hurt more.” Liam's says

“You know I want you to be happy and I think she can help. You haven’t been the same seen your mom…I just think she can help you open up, but this isn’t going to help. You need to distract yourself and paperwork always gets you sucked in because you always want till the last minute.” The other male voice says

“Yeah, I guess you’re right. Let’s go then. I’ll send William to check in on her later.” Then I hear the door open and close.

I decide to give it one last try. I can feel my eyes twitch and then my eye finally open, but I immediately close them back up because of the light. I blink until I’m use to the light and begin to get myself up. When I feel a burn I sit back down, only to see a nasty cut. I heal myself and walk out the room. It’s pretty spacious. The decor and bed sheets are beautiful. A mixed pattern with navy and a dark metallic blue. The furniture is silver and elegant. Which makes me wonder. Where the hell am I?

Once I’m out the room, I begin to walk down the stairs. I was kind of surprised to find out that the house I was in, had 5 floors. I was on the 5th, apparently, and by the time I was on the 3rd floor, I needed to take a rest. I felt kind of dizzy.

I sat on a chair, that decorated the hall, for a few minutes until I felt better. When I started walking to the stairs again, I closed my eyes for 2 seconds and next thing I know I’m bumping into a hard chest. I open my eyes immediately, he was tall, with copper skin, green eyes, brown hair, and a toned body. All in all, he was attractive.

I was the first to break the silence. “Uhm…can you tell me where I am please.” I tried to sound as confident, and not at all scared of being in this situation, as I could. He gave me a small smile and bowed before replying. Weird. 

“Luna, you are in the pack house of the Blood Moon Pack. I was about to go check on you.” Was all he said.

So, Liam is Alpha of the pack, the other guy was right. I believe they call them rouges and now this guy is calling me Luna. I have only read a few books, but the Luna is like the Alpha’s ‘equal’ accept there’s nothing equal about it. Lunas are expected to be responsible of small, simple things and when in war or attacked, to leave with the children, elderly, and females. I hated that, but only few packs, in the stories I’ve read, aren’t so against females stepping up and its sad.

“So, your William?”  I ask remembering the conversation I heard earlier.

“Oh My Gosh. Can you like read minds or see the future. That’s how you know my name right. You really are a witch.” his face showed excitement while mine showed amusement. Then I tuned serious and acted offended. He noticed my face after a few seconds and began to apologize.     

“I’m sooo sorry Luna I didn’t mean to offend.” His voice had a pleading ring to it. I felt bad for that, but I can’t stop now, so I continued to act like a b***h.       

  “Let’s see how sorry you are. I want you to prepare a dinner, get me some clothes, and change the décor of the room I was in, all in 2 hours…Oh and take me to your Alpha, I don’t think he will be happy knowing the first thing I do when I wake up is get insulted by some wolf.”     

By the end of it he was nervous and fearful. I couldn’t control my laughter in and the look on his face when he realized I was messing with him was priceless.       

“Call me Kate” I tried to say between my laughs.

William’s POV 

I was about to go up and check on Luna when someone bumped into me and then I noticed it was the Luna. She asked where she was, so I told her and then she asked if I was William and that’s when I started blurting out things that I saw on tv. I don’t know if it was witches or psychics, but I said it and I offended her.

If Liam finds out I’m toast. I began to apologize, and I thought she would accept but then she started to list things I needed to do. She paused and then added that she was going to tell Liam.

I started to panic. I was the Gamma and the first thing I did was offend my Luna.

When she started laughing, I quickly realized she was messing with me. My poor alpha is going to have it tough with this girl. Add me to the mix and you have the pack house filled with noise, evil laughs, and tricks. I knew that this girl is going to be my best friend and Liam’s death.
