Prey of an Alpha ( The Alpha's Destiny Book 1)

Chapter 1

FIVE YEARS LATER

Skye's POV

"Damn it Skye! I just asked you to help him out and maybe even hug him, not sleep with him." Darrel shouted at me, he was pissed that I slept with his brother, although I really didn’t sleep with him.

"I did exactly what you asked, now stop yelling at me." I said in a calm voice. Darrel and I have been dating for two months now and I think it was about time that I broke up with him.

The man was starting to get on me and my wolf's nerves.

Darrel did not like what I said and pinned me to the wall using his body to hold me there.

"You little w***e!" he spat, his voice filled with anger, but I saw the lust in his eyes and felt his erection against me. "Why would you hurt me like that?" he asked pain evident in his voice. I was just not sure if it was because he really did believe I slept with his brother or if its because his pants were starting to feel too tight and uncomfortable.

Truth be told, I did not sleep with his brother, at least not in the way he was implying. I fell asleep on his bed. It is not my fault that Aaron slipped in next to me and tried to get a little too comfy with me. I rolled on top of him, straddling him, and was about to punch him when Aaron's now ex-girlfriend walked in on us.

I decided to tease Darryl, maybe a quick lay before I dumped his sorry ass was all I needed to release this tension I had been feeling all week. I wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed him passionately, though what I felt was far from passion. It was an urge that I had been getting every three months now.

After a few rounds with Darryl I took a shower and let Darryl rest. The man had stamina, but it was not nearly enough to fully satisfy me. I still had the urge. I needed to mate.

An hour later I told Darryl that we are through and kicked him out of my apartment. Staying with him will just end up giving me a headache that I don’t need.

It was already evening and I thought I could go dancing; the clubs were always full of men that are looking to get drunk and find easy lays.

I let my long black hair loose and applied on eyeliner and lipstick. I already had on my black dress that went to my mid-thigh and cross-crossed behind my back. My shoulders were exposed but the dress covered my arms from my elbows to my wrists. It was a dress I stole a year ago from a hotel I was working at and I never regretted stealing it.

I could feel my wolf pacing, I looked in the mirror and noticed that my eyes were completely black. My wolf was on the edge and I needed to do something about it. I closed my eyes and concentrated on my wolf. I could communicate easily enough with her, but it felt like she wanted to take over and I could not let that happen.

We must go. I need you to find our mate . My wolf said.

"Not going to happen," I said trying not to upset her. "If we ever meet our mate we will have

to leave him. His life will be ruined with us in it."

It is not right! Do not deny our mate. He will need help, we need him. My wolf growled at me.

"I am sorry, just calm down; I am having those urges again." I sighed and walked out of my apartment and walked to the club that was ten blocks from me.

Sex was suppose be something that was passionate and full of love, to me it felt like a chore that I hated. These stupid urges just kept on coming.

My wolf growled one last time at me, before retreating to the back of my mind. She was

speaking less to me these days. For the first time, in all my years of running, I was

starting to feel lonely.

I felt a strange feeling in my chest and decided to ignore it. I sighed and carried on walking to the club.

Elijah's POV

After the pack meeting I went for a run in the woods. My wolf was howling at me. It wanted to be released. As soon as I shifted into my black wolf, I felt free and my wolf was happy.

I mind-linked my Beta to let him know I was going for a run. My Beta, Caleb, let me know that there is some business to be taken care of with some pack members and he could handle it.

After running around and hunting for three hours, I returned to the pack house and found a pair of shorts and a t-shirt behind one of the trees. The pack has these secret stashes of

clothing everywhere. It was all buried and hidden quite well all over my pack’s territory.

It is my twenty-ninth birthday today, and the pack was getting ready to celebrate. I still had not found my mate yet, but that did not mean I gave up hope. The pack came first until I find my mate. The pack is like a big family. They always gave me hope whenever I felt as though I would give up on ever finding my mate. I just visit other packs when I can, hoping to find my mate at some or other party the way other Alpha’s always have.

Just as I entered my room to take a shower and dress for the party, I heard movement coming from my bed. Ashly, the girl I had an arrangement with was lying on my bed, waiting for me to go over to her.

"I was waiting for you," she said seductively. "I wanted to give you your birthday present now."

I wasted no time getting to her and for her to give me my birthday present.

After an hour I got out of bed and took a shower, I still had to attend my party.

When I got downstairs to the party, a few of my close friends shook their heads and smirked

or grinned at me. They knew why I took so long getting to my own party, though I showered,

Ashly's scent was still all over me.

Caleb walked up to me and shook his head before he spoke. "You could not have waited till

after the party?"

I chuckled. "What can I say, my gift was ready to be played with and I could not resist."

The guys laughed and those that were standing with their mates just grinned. The party was great, the pack did a great job, but I noticed a few of my friends leaving early one of them being my cousin Eric. I took note of the five men who left and then carried on enjoying the party.

Like I said, my pack is like a great big family and I had to take note of them leaving. It is part

of my duty to make sure everyone is safe.

Skye POV

I was dancing with a man a head taller than me, he knew how to move and I knew he would be perfect, for the night at least. His shoulders were broad and his body firm and he smelled so good. His scent was intoxicating, but when I smelled again I noticed that it was not his scent, but someone else’s scent on him that smelled so good to me. This man smelled more like leather and basil, a strange but kind of sexy combination.

He smirked at me and brought his lips down to my ear. "Why don't we leave this place and go back to yours?" he asked.

"What did you say your name was?" I asked and moved my hands down his chest. I stopped just above his belt before I decided to trail my finger a little lower.

I made it clear what I wanted, he just better take me now.

"Eric, now are we going to leave?" He asked.

I saw him walk in with four other guys, they were enjoying themselves now. Well three of them were, one was just looking around while drinking his beer.

"Let's go to your place and invite your friend." I said seductively and just before he said no I kissed his lips gently and nipped on his bottom lip before letting go. "Do this for me and you won't regret it." I whispered.

"Then let’s leave this place already.” We walked up to the man sitting by himself and Eric spoke to him.

"Well, Zane what do you say?" Was the only thing I heard Eric say to Zane. I looked at Zane making sure he would see the desire, in my eyes.

Zane was just as well-built as Eric. I have been in this town for so long and I have not noticed these hot guys before. They must be visiting or something.

Zane swallowed down the remainder of his beer and got up. He put his hand on my back and pulled me towards him and kissed me hard and it made my urge worse. "Let’s go."

When he released me I was a little flustered. He sure knows how to kiss a girl.

I went with them and they snuck me in to what can only be described as a mansion. We went to a room with a king sized bed and smelled like it belonged to Eric. His was the scent was strongest in the room, amongst others.

I started kissing Eric while Zane placed tiny kisses on my neck and shoulders.

The night was long and the urge I had was disappearing. I smiled before I got back to kissing Eric. I knew that after tonight my urge would be gone. Then I would get three months off of having to hunt for new prey to satisfy my urges.
