Alphas mated to a human

Chapter 12- Two Years Later

(Alpha Xanders’ POV)

It has been two years since I last saw Val being dragged away from me by two of Alpha Marks’ warriors. It took me months to get back on my feet but my pack and I are doing well now. I still miss Val and we are all hoping that she returns, at first we tried to get her but then we were informed that if we did not stop Alpha Mark would torture her in front of us and then torture some of our younger pack members. For the sake of the pack I withdrew, a few months later we heard from Alex and him and Ryan had helped Val to get out and to the train station. Alpha Mark has lost much of his reputation and power as a lot of his pack left and joined neighboring packs including mine. We were all horrified of the tales they told of what Alpha Mark did to them and then what he did to Val, especially at the Alpha ball. No one could believe that he could be so cruel, that was when his pack really turned on him as they realized that there was no hope left for him.

Those that did remain with Alpha mark have become more ruthless, often flaunting that they could do whatever they wanted and their Alpha could do nothing about it. Some of us Alphas do pity him as

I have faith in the moon Goddess that she will send Val to me again or me to Val. I do not know where she is but I do know she is safe, as we have not mated or marked I cannot tell what she is feeling but I do know whenever she is seriously hurt as I feel her pain, like a year ago when she attempted suicide I felt that and was able to raise the alarm with Alex who was able to get help for her. Turns out he has a rough idea of where she is but Val did not tell Alex her precise location either. Wherever she is, she does not want to be found. I had heard that Alpha Mark got close a year ago, which was around her suicide attempt, but then it was like she completely vanished off the face of the Earth and has not returned since. There is no way of finding her, even the best hunters and trackers in my pack cannot find her. Which makes me wonder whether or not she is getting help from someone.

Val is not weak, even I could tell that when I first met her, but even she cannot hide for this length of time. I sigh, I really miss her. I only got to spend a few weeks with her, most of which she was unconscious for, but she sacrificed herself for me and my pack, leaving all of us shocked. My pack could not believe that my mate so readily sacrificed herself for all of us, they felt so honoured but also devastated. We had many rogue attacks as they thought that due to losing our Luna we would be weak but it was the thought and hope she would one day return to us that kept us all fighting on.

I have a feeling that Val and I will meet soon, don’t know why but it is a gut feeling which most of my pack is also experiencing. In those few weeks that Val was here, life in the pack changed for the better and thankfully it has not reverted to the way it was. Even if Val is not the prophesized one, she still holds a power never seen before of bringing people together and righting wrongs.

(Vals’ POV)

It’s been two years since I got away from Alpha Mark and made it to Medway, I have spent the last two years building up my own legal practice. At first I tried to get a legal job but no one would take me as I had disappeared for seven months and wouldn’t tell them where I had been, even the background checks they did on me brought up nothing. In the end I decided to channel the remaining money I had from the inheritance from my grandparents into establishing my own law firm, at first it was slow and looked like it was going to fail until a case of a local drug dealer landed on my lap and I had to defend him. At first I was against it but then I found out that he was being set up for r****g a minor by a rival gang to get back at his brother who was the real drug dealer, my client was an innocent who was unaware of the drug wars his brother was in. I successfully got the charges against him dropped as well as a hefty compensation. After that I made local headlines and became an instant hit in Medway as the go to defense lawyer for the innocent but also as a PI for prosecutors who could not gain a successful conviction against someone they knew was guilty.

I love my job as I am able to punish the guilty while protecting the innocent and helping to heal the victims which in itself has helped me to heal. I am now a lot stronger than I was two years ago, I saw all of my mistakes a few months after escaping and since then I have learnt from them.

A year ago I went through a rough patch when Alpha Mark almost found me again and I attempted to kill myself in the woods, thinking that if he did find me at least I would be dead. But then something amazing happened, Alpha Johnny from the ball arrived just in time to save my life. He stayed with me in the hospital for days, never once leaving my side. I even met his Beta, Fred and his mate Kelly who are wonderful people. When I was finally discharged Alpha Johnny, Fred or Kelly would always pop into my practice every other day to check on me, eventually Alpha Johnny asked me out on a date about two months later. At first I was reluctant because he is a werewolf but then I decided to throw caution to the wind as I realized that I had started to develop feelings for him.

The date was amazing and about five weeks late we became official, which was when Johnny told me that I was his mate. I told him everything from the beginning, about Alpha Mark and what he did to me to then finding Xander and feeling something for him to finding Johnny. Johnny agrees that the bond between me and Xander is most likely still there and it is rare for a wolf to have two fated mates at any one time, let alone a human to be mated to two alphas but Johnny is willing to work with me if out paths ever cross Xanders’.

Johnny tried to get me to move into the pack house but I visit there all the time and I love my home, so instead Johnny has partially moved in with me. He mainly stays weekends and some evenings when he can get away from the pack house for a few hours. His pack, the Thunder Dragons Pack, has been so welcoming, even before they found out that I am his mate. Technically Johnny is not following tradition as he is supposed to mate and mark me and then I take over as Luna but he understands that I am not ready for that. Instead we have mated and marked each other, he bit met which turned into a tattoo and he got a tattoo which I designed on his mate mark place on his neck. The pack is also really supportive, including Johnny’s’ parents. It’s weird that I am now 26 and he is 28, only two years separate us which is probably what is making us work, his parent support all of my decisions after finding out about my past.

I have found a healthy balance of work, me time and spending time with Johnny and helping with his pack. I feel stronger when I am with Johnny and as my law firm has taken off, I can go with Johnny when he has to go to Alpha meetings in England and abroad, my favourite being Bora Bora. We have been back to Bora Bora a few times since Johnny found out my love for it, actually we have gone so many times that I have become and honorary Silver Lake Pack member so that I could enter their territory whenever I want to go to my favourite spot.

I am currently packing to head back to Norfolk for a few weeks as I have been drafted onto a case which I was informed my attendance is mandatory for. I had tried to get out of it but was unsuccessful. I really do not want to go back to Norfolk, the wounds and horrors from those last seven months there are still not something I want to re-experience. But then Alpha Mark said that there is some land there that is unclaimed and he will stake a claim to it so he and a few warriors and guards are able to come with me. I feel so honored that my mate would do that for me, I did say it was not necessary but Johnny and his pack insisted. Besides, they wanted to expand their territory anyway so I guess it did also benefit them, and it gave me somewhere to be safe when not at court or the police station.

I hear a car horn which means Johnny is here, I lock all of the doors and pick up my suitcase and head out to Johnny who is standing there in front of his Jaguar. I never get over how perfect he is, all muscle, with black hair, blue eyes, chiseled chin with a tall and toned body. He is always turning heads wherever he goes, I’m just glad that he is all mine and never looks at another girl. I wonder what I did to get so lucky to have warranted being given him by fate.

Johnny walks towards me and wraps me in his embrace, our lips connecting in an urgent and missed each other manner. We pull away gasping for air, he then grabs my hand with one hand and pick up my suitcase with the other. I see that a few cars from his pack are waiting down the road, I give them a wave and it is returned with a black from their horns- my neighbors must really hate us, we are never quite when the gang is all together. The gang is comprised of me, Johnny, Kelly and Fred, Barney (head warrior), Kieran (Gamma), Lisa (head tracker) and who ever just happens to be with us when we are together.

I pile in with Johnny into his Jaguar and we head off to Norfolk, the two of us enjoying each other company as we play I spy and sing to the radio at the top of our lungs.
