The forbidden alpha

Andre’s POV

“Are you ready for the title of alpha” my beta Damon asked. Damon’s been my best friend since were kids and his father was my fathers beta. “As ready as I’ll ever be, I just wish my parents were here to see it.” I replied, thinking about how proud my mom would be. “They’ll always be here” Damon said, patting my back.

My parents were killed in a fire last year in the human town. They were at a restaurant for their 27 year anniversary when a drunk guy threw a flaming bottle in the window and it hit the open grill. They tried to get as many people as they could out, but even werewolves can’t survive a flame. When they passed the training for alpha started and now that I’m 21 I can accept the title and finish what my father started. He wanted to change our relationship with the humans. And so did I.

I suffer through the alpha ceremony and get welcomed to the council by the other alphas. I stand watching the crowd, all the alphas and their lunas and mates and wonder when I’ll meet mine. “Dre baby!! Congrats on the alpha title!” Denise says. “Thanks” I reply, cooly, not wanting to give this girl any hopes. She was a plaything, who wanted the Luna title so bad. I knew she wanted to be mates but when she turned 18 there was no spark. If anything she made my wolf Malik sick. She wasn’t ugly, at least on the outside. But we could all see what she really was. A spoiled b**** who thought she was entitled to everything. Boy was she in for a wake up call some day. I walk away wondering what today’s special was in the kitchen of the pack house, Louise our pack chef makes a killer meat loaf and gravy. I saunter in the kitchen only to see catering orders and no Louise. I decide to sneak out.

I leave the border and go to one of my parents favorite diners, Lucy’s diner, and park my truck. I hop out and walk inside. As soon as I open the door I’m hit by this intoxicating scent of vanilla and pumpkin spice. Mate. Malik howls with excitement as her scent overwhelms all my senses. A tiny human walks up to me and takes me to a booth and disappears. I look all over to see who the wolf that’s my mate could be. Then she walks out the kitchen.

She was fair skinned, freckles with big pouty rose pink lips, red hair twisted up in a bun. She makes eye contact with me. “MINE” i yell, standing up from my table and make my way to her. As soon as I touch her I feel the sparks. I crash my lips into hers as she closes her beautiful green eyes and I can feel the mate bond. I drag her out the diner. “What’s your name?” I ask her, as she stares at me in wonder. “Fay, of the crescent moon pack” she replies bowing her head. “Don’t bow, your my Luna. I’m Andre the new alpha of dark moon” I tuck some loose curls behind her ear. “You’re the new alpha!” She exclaims. “Congrats!” She smiles at me, her green eyes twinkling in the street lights. “We have so much to talk about, things to plan, you’re a Luna now.” I tell her. God she’s so beautiful, I wanna run my fingers through her curls, touch her beautiful skin. Mate is beautiful. Let me out!

No Malik, not yet

But please she’s so beautiful I wanna talk to her wolf.

When she’s ready. I put my foot down and blocked off Malik. I’m sorry buddy, I have to know her first. “Can we go somewhere more private” I ask her, scratching my head nervously. “Sure, let me tell the manager I gotta leave early and I’ll be right back.” She turns and walks back in the kitchen.

I stand waiting for a few minutes the. She comes out, with her hair down. It was long, almost caressing her hips. And I lost my breath at the sight. I think about it hovering over my skin with her on top of me. “Are you ready?” She asks, waking me from my daydream. “Yes, where do you have in mind?” She looks away for a sec, “I know the perfect place” she says then starts walking down the street towards the woods.
