The Rightful Alpha

Not Alone

Liv

“Yes Connie. I’m always careful.” Feeling my annoy button being press on again and again.

“I can easily pick it up myself.”

“I have it already. Plus I needed some more witch hazel. I’ll see you tomorrow at school okay.” Holding on to a small bag in my hand.

“Okay. Just call me if you need to. Mason will take a chunk out of me if something happens to you. Be careful, please Liv.” Aren’t I always.

“I’m more than capable of walking on my own. A woodsy road isn’t too scary.” Why does everyone think I can’t defend myself. I’m more than able to walk without someone else. Am I that depend? Ugh, I hope not.

“Can’t Travis just pi..”

“I can’t..ssh..hea.sshh.yo..sshh. Love you bye.” Hanging up quick.

I had already ask my coworker to drop me out of town to pick up some stuff from a witch store. I didn’t want to call Travis. We still haven’t spoken anyways. He gives me a kiss on the cheek or forehead each morning. My hands will lay out on his chest. Keeping him from closing in our space. My breathing will hitch each time. I close my eyes and take in his most delicious scent. And each time I wanted his lips on mine. My gut turns sour. Besides, I can use a nice long walk to clear my clutter head. It was nice and sunny out. I don’t need a wolf guard.

I took my time as I enjoy this nice day. The sun kisses my skin. My hand waves with the grass I touch. I walk on the edge of the road. I haven’t seen a car drive by as it dreads on. I turn to see the woods and I feel better walking through there than being so close to road itself. “It’s not like a car will hit me.”

After a while I take a break. Looking through my phone. Connie texted me a few times. Ensuring i’m safe. Mason texted saying to return his cologne I stolen. A few notification but that’s it. I don’t know why, but I guess I thought maybe Travis will text me. But he didn’t. I click on his icon. Debuting to call him. To hear his voice. But I don’t.

Beginning my walk I hear a noise. I stop and looked around. Nothing. I kept hearing noises as my walk continues. I pay no mind until it got louder and my skin started to crawl. “Relax Liv. No one is here. A bear isn’t going to come out and eat you.”

I reach in my bag to take out a herb. I crush a little of cyborg and rub my hand with dirt. Whisper a chant and created a ball that beams into my hand. I turn around and throw the ball into the air. It spirals in mid air and in time it beams a flash. In seconds if life was near by it will flash a silhouette. I waited and see nothing but a bird.

I sigh as I’m just being paranoid. I continue my walk for a while. At some moments I will still hear something rustling in the woods with me. Something was following me. So I stop. And it would stop. When I walk it walks. If I speed up, it will speed up too. I look all over trying my hardest to exam what can be following me. Can it be a deer maybe? This went on for the next 30 minutes or so. When I listen closely enough, it sounded like footsteps. It wasn’t a deer. It was someone. But who will be walking in the woods, besides me.

I grew tired of it soon enough. They won’t going to leave. Stopping, I take my bag off and throw everything inside. Tightening the straps on my shoulders. I turns to face behind me.

“Show your face! Or leave me alone!” I shouted into the farthest distance.

Again the rustling was heard all around me. Circling as if I was its prey. I took out my phone searching where I was. There was nothing near by me. And then a loud growl was heard. Snapping my head up. “Wolves shouldn’t be here. There’s no pack here.” Again I search. There is no one here. Where did this wolf come from.

I put my phone away. I step close to where I heard the howl coming from. “Come out and be kill you beast!”

“Smells good. Mine.” It whispers.

Something felt very wrong. When it spoke my insides tells me to run. But I planted my feet on the ground. I think quick. What can I do to scare it off. My brain froze as its eyes glow from near far. I see a wolf and its large figure. He looks hungry and he follow my every little movement.

I look down and grab a thick stick. Hoping to defend myself from him. He laughs at my defense. “What the hell do you want!”

Stepping closer he was larger than I thought. Red and brown fur covering over him. He walks out. Only for me to see his true figure now. His snout rose in the air. Sniffing for something. “Not claim. Sweet.”

I didn’t understand why he says this. I step back. Thinking I can make it to the road and flag someone. Then I thought no. He might get me first. I thought to myself how I wish I had wolfsbane in my bag right now. But I was defenseless. I wasn’t stronger nor faster than him.

“Just leave me alone. I will curse your whole family. Making you regret for ever messing with me.” My hand shakes through the threaten words to him.

“You will be mine.” He growl.

My spine tick at his words. I see his paw lunge back. Ready to attack. I hold my weapon up. Baring his teeth at me. He let out a loud howl.

“f**k it. I’ll go out trying.” I mutter to myself.

He lung towards me. I think hard to send his skin on fire. But nothing. Dud. He gets closer and I try putting up a wall. But a crack was heard and he broke through it. I curse at myself. I was too weak to control my magic. My emotions was all over the place to hold it up.

He jumps high. Jumping over me. Sending me to my knees. He runs to the side lodge. Vanishing from sight. A pain hits my arms. Looking to the ground. Blood was dripping. He had claw at me when he jump. A good size cut came from my arm.

“Fuck.” Grabbing my arm. A rating pain sprung.

He circles the woods again. Feeling the ground I search for the Earth energy. My body was in shock and in pain. I couldn’t sense the Earth through me. I couldn’t call for its help. I had no plan, I had nothing. I need to not get caught. Make it somewhere, anywhere. I know I can never make it to the pack’s ground. I was still too far.

Once again he howls but this time it was shaking bark that sent my nerves crazy. Turning my head towards him. Hearing his paw stomping closer. I got up fast. Giving my all to run for my life. The woods became crowded as I ran. Making it hard to find a path. With every turn I make, he made. I try my hardest to sent balls of magic at him. To slow him down. Fire, water, it didn’t slow him down enough. He was quicker. He dodge my every hit. Adrenaline kicks in as I run. My heart was at my throat. I can hear his panting and the louder it gets the more I feel at lost.

He jumps and I lost sight. I kept running and in seconds I am knocked to the ground. Pain soaring all over.

“Almost all mine.” He growls.

Making it to my feet I headed forward. Not giving up. I run and run. His paws hit harder than my feet. And I try to block the sound. Wishing I wasn’t scared and weak. I hate that I wasn’t more prepare to protect myself. The ground was soften and as I try to keep my speed. I slip and fell into a pit with twigs. Sharp thrones nip my skin while small and big rock bruise me.

Hitting the end. I face the sky. An agony pain hits my ankle. I sat up and pull my pants up to find my ankle swollen bad. “God damn it.” I lean back and curse. My breathing hitching a high. The wolf howl. He was close.

I got up. Knowing I can not put weight on my ankle. Continue to try to run. But I was slow and I had to try to make it through this maze. I felt glad I fell here. The trees close in with thicker branches and moss everywhere. It made it harder to walk but I thought it would make it harder for him too.

The pain grew too much. I had to stop. Looking behind me. I couldn’t hear him anymore. “Thank Goddess.” I whispered.

My body burns. I’ve been on my feet too long. Walking just a couple more feet until I am knocked to the ground once again.

“Got you baby.” His heavy body was on me. He was naked from switching forms. He glances down my body with a smirk. Calling me baby again.

“Get off me!!” Grabbing him tight my hands glow red. Burning him just enough to let me go. The smell of burning skin soaks my nose.

“You f*****g bitch.” He howls in pain.

I flip over and crawl to my feet. Struggling to stand tall. I was done. But I kept trying to get away. Soon I was hit on the side. Knocking me the ground. My stomach in pain. He grabs me up. Throwing me against a tree. I groan in more pain. His head makes it to the creeks of my neck. His hot breath on me. I shake under his skin.

“Mhh.” He licks my neck as my head is to the side. “I will make you mine.”

Picking up his head. He gave me this hungry look. It sends shives down my back. Running his hands up my shirt he tugs my neck line. Pulling on it. I feel so gross with his hands on me. Pulling my head back he looks at me with glowing eyes. Having his attention I spit in face. “How dare you. Death will come to you for touching an Alpha’s mate.”

Every disgusting, cold spine feeling I get from him. Only made me think of Travis. Wishing I had fix things. Knowing whatever happens that he will most likely throw me away now. If I even make it back. What if he takes me away?

“Travis, Malcolm.” I whisper in my head.

His eyes widen to my words. Sniffing me up and down. “You lie. You are not mated. No mark lies.”

“You don’t want to find out if i’m lying. I will curse you. If you kill me. I will haunt you until you die.” I spit at him again. And this time he rocks his hand back and hits my face. Making my head slam hard on the tree. I blink hard from the impact. Feeling something wet drip down my eye. My vision blurs. Before I can calculated what just happen. He wraps his hands around my neck. Squeezing my air. I wiggle underneath him. Making him press his naked body on me. Now I can’t move.

“Keep it up witch. And more will come.” My eyes widen. “You will be mine. Disobey in any way after I am done here. And death will come to you. I make sure of it.”

I say nothing. Afraid of what he’ll do next. My chest pounding hard against his. He begins to look me up and down. Salving at what he sees. He pushes into me and I close my eyes to the pain. He laugh and runs his hand that wasn’t on my throat down my side, rubbing my hips and walking to my ass. Again I fight and he bares his teeth. I stop. He continues and his hands lands on my p***y. I shake my head. Whimpering a no. He doesn’t listen as he rips my jeans. Giving him a glance of my panties. His harden member grows as he now rubs it on top of me.

“You will be mine. Only mine.” He squeezes tight on my throat. Making tears coming out. He puts all of his weight on me. Kissing my cheek and down my neck. I feel his teeth grid against my skin. Whimpering a no. Begging him to not.

I close my eyes, wishing this wasn’t real. Wishing I was just home. That I was just in bed with Travis right now. That it was him and Malcolm press up against me and not this neanderthal. Now I only wish I can mind-link him. I know I had to be close enough and mark. But I still tried. I focus on my mate. Picturing him. I call out to him. Over and over again.

“I’m sorry boys.” I tell myself as the wolf touches my panties and begins to move them to the side.

I hear an Earth cracking howl. Loud enough to make my numbing worsen. The press on my body was gone and I drop to the ground. My whole body still leaning against the tree. I gasp for air. Clearing my vision from the black dots. I try to listen for him. But only hear growls coming before me. I hear a voice. I couldn’t make much out. But then I heard nothing. He stop. He stop.
