Black Fall

Honey Whispers

We were under attack.

I hurriedly stripped my dress off, setting it and my heels somewhere safe. I didn't want to rip my new dress, especially since I actually liked it. I hurriedly shifted, racing toward the border, I could hear Heaven's parents howling for help; they were in pain. My wolf was a beautiful about color, with black on my paws and a white diamond between my eyes. I had a fluffy tail similar to what you'd expect a husky to look like. That's the best thing I could compare myself too. A giant husky.

I ran as fast as my paws could carry me, growling as I felt my nervousness growing more. Why was my wolf so nervous? I was trained to fight. As I came up on Heaven's parents; I felt rage engulf me as I saw a large black and white wolf circling them. He didn't smell like a rouge, he smelled like the sweetest honey. It was intoxicating, but I pushed that to the back of my mind. My pack was in trouble. I lunged for him, my fangs sinking into his neck, he let out a Yelp of pain; turning his attention to me instead of them. This was there chance to escape, I was an omega. I was a fighter to distract the enemy to protect the pack. My job was to keep the pack and my Alpha safe.

The wolf seemed to mock me, as he snapped at me in an almost playful way? I was growing tired of his games, trying my hardest to get a good attack on him. He just kept stepping out of the way, but why? He could easily overpower me. From what I could smell he himself was an Alpha. I snarled and snapped again, but something clicked in this alpha, he lunged and bite down hard in my neck. I could feel a pull at my soul, this unknown male just marked me. I cried out shifting human as I felt his mark burning into my skin. I held my neck, whimpering under him as he looked at his work; giving my neck a lick; making tears stream down my face he disappeared.

Had that honestly just happened? Had this unknown male really leave his mate mark on me. I felt my world come crashing down, no male would want me now. Not even my mate. I was marked by some unknown male, and on top of that an Alpha. I laid on the ground, curling up to make myself seem smaller as my pack arrived, the wolves sliding around me. I could hear my name being called, but I was starting to fade out of consciousness. The marks pain too much for my body to handle at once, my wolf whining and howling for the male who marked her to come back.

The last thing I saw before the darkness of sleep was my best friends face, she was crying and holding me. I managed a smile before fading to sleep...

~~~•~~~

Two months had passed since the pack and I were attacked. Border patrols were upped, and so was training. I took advantage of every waking moment I could train. I felt weak back then, and I wouldn't let than happen again. I also received a rank up, since my best friend was now the Luna; she requested I take her parents spot as the Beta; the Alpha seemed happy to make that happen. He was pleased with my fighting skills. We had also graduated, her parents there for both of us since mine could no longer be found.

It sucked, not knowing. But I assumed they went with a rogue pack, oh well I guess. They never seemed to care much anyway for anything I did or wanted to do. I punched the bag hard, my own muscles becoming stronger. No male had even tried to hit on me either, no matter what I did to cover my mark; it was like I held the smell of mated on me. I hated it, I hated that I laid awake crying at night for a man I didn't even know. That I was head over heels in love and wasn't even in control of my emotions. My wolf on the other hand was pleased to be claimed, not having just anyone flirting; although I am sure she misses the attention. The only thing I couldn't get out of my head was his lilac eyes and honey smell.

I felt like sometimes I could still feel him watching me, but I vowed the next time I saw him. I would kill him, my wolf growled in my head and I growled back. I didn't want to be claimed by anyone other than my mate; and I lost the chance. "Devi!" I heard a familiar voice call out to me. Turning around, I smiled at the sight of my friend. She was wearing a wedding ring and dressing very professional now. "Hey Heaven." I smiled and bowed in respect; I wanted to hug her; but I was covered in sweat. "Why had the Luna graced me with her presence?" I teased. She rolled her eyes at me, a smile on her lips. "Oh cut the Luna crap, I came to personally tell you; Alpha Cole and I want to have a meeting with you." She looked and sounded worried, no hint of joking in her scent. "Yes my lady, I will be there soon." I bowed again, gathering my things before heading up to the Alpha's office.

Some days I felt as if others in the pack were wondering if I was a lesbian or not, I had taken on a more dominant role since the attack. I had also upped my training to keep up with the males. I even found myself wondering it, but the thought of what body that large muscular male that marked me had...

I brought myself back to the present, gently knocking on the door. "Come in!" I heard the alpha say. I entered and bowed, showing my neck in respect. "Alpha Cole, Luna Heaven. How may I serve you today?" I asked, all joking aside. I took my role as Beta very seriously. He sighed, setting his pen down, folding his hands together and looking at me. I stood at attention, waiting for his words. I felt that sickening feeling of nervousness again. Why?

"Devika...I need for you to accompany me on a trip to the neighboring pack." I gave him a confused look, the closest pack to us was the Lycan pack. "Of course Alpha, but why the Lycans?" I asked curiously. He sighed again, "We are going to attempt a treaty between our packs. We are losing out on prey, as well as we need a good Ally in case the Rouges want to attack again." Ah right. They claimed what happened that night was work of the Rogues that ran wild around here. I nodded, "Of course my Alpha."

"However. I want you to find the most trusted, and the best fighter we have to guard my Luna." His eyes were serious. Did he not expect this to end well? The atmosphere in room became thick and sad. "My Luna. I will make sure your mate comes back to you." I slammed my fist over my chest. "On my honor." She smiled, trying not to cry.

It would be ok, everything would be ok....
