425 Words
35 and I still hadn't found my mate. I was the strongest Alpha in America after I'd defeated Alpha Ed and took over his territory. Although it gave me no pleasure to kill him I had to or else he would've killed me. It was war. People die. That's what I told my self everyday. But I could never forget the look in his eyes when i drove my teeth into his neck and snapped it . He was strong , I admit , but I was stronger. He had courage that I couldn't help but admire. His wife escaped . I sent my best trackers to hunt them down but they came back empty handed. A sense of relief washed over me but the looming danger of being overthrown would always be there.
In my 35 years of existence, I've never really known love. Loyalty. Yes. But love was a distant memory if anything. My mother died giving birth to me and my father blamed me for her death. He never forgot her nor forgave me. He spiralled into depression after my mother's death, eventually killing himself. I was left to fend for myself since then. But everything changed after my phasing, and I grew to become one of the most powerful alpha on this planet. I grew rapidly in my initial days, I was just 11 years old when I took over the pack, yet I was stronger than any of the previous alphas who led the pack.My growth seemed to become rather slow after I reached my 30s. I aged more slowly than an average werewolf. Even now I didn't look a day older than 25. But my strength did not diminish. In fact I grew stronger. My father was weak, but I vowed to never give in to weakness. I despised weakness. And then my quest for power began.

As I sat there at Crusoe's sipping my bourbon which I like to do so often I felt someone staring at me. I looked up to see the most beautiful woman I'd laid my eyes on. She was younger than me I could tell. She had piercing blue almond shaped eyes. Perfect full pink lips. Silver grey hair that shone brightly as it caught light making her look luminescent. The yellow dress that she was wearing brought out the blue in her eyes brilliantly.
“s**t! She's beautiful...and She's staring at me"
Without realising it I was smiling like a fool. I heard her gasp.
“mate" my inner wolf said. I froze.
