The Alpha’s White Wolf

Chapter 1 ~ s. 5

Stormy was screaming and scratching beneath my skin, desperate to come out.

She wanted to meet her mate.

She wanted to touch him.

I could feel her pulling at every part of me, demanding that I let her take control.

I had to transform before someone downstairs noticed I was missing and came looking for me.

“Okay, Stormy. Let’s do this.”

The second I surrendered control, she pushed me down onto the floor.

“Let her show herself,” he said calmly. “The pain gets easier every time you change.”

I barely had time to answer before the transformation began.

Pain exploded through my body.

My bones shifted.

My muscles burned.

Every breath felt like fire.

I couldn’t tell if I screamed or if the sound was only inside my head.

At some point, everything went black.

I didn’t know how long I had been unconscious.

When I finally opened my eyes, I was lying on the floor, breathing heavily.

The transformation had nearly killed me.

Then I heard his voice.

“Wow…”

I looked up.

His ocean-blue eyes were fixed on me.

“You look beautiful.”

His voice was softer than I had ever heard it.

“Pure white…”

Something about the way he said those words made my heart race.

Every word coming from that deep voice seemed to melt something inside me.

“Is it normal to feel this tired?”

The corner of his mouth curled into a small, warm smile.

“You did so well, sweetheart.”

Sweetheart.

The word sent a strange little shiver through me.

“Come here. You need to rest. You’ll recover faster when we’re close. The energy between fated mates helps.”

He reached for the duvet and pulled it back, inviting me into the warm bed.

I hesitated for only a second before slowly crawling beneath the covers.

He opened one arm for me.

An invitation.

I moved closer, resting my head against his chest.

His arm wrapped around me, pulling me into the warmth of his body.

I could hear his heartbeat beneath my ear.

Strong.

Steady.

Comforting.

The scent of him surrounded me, and my wolf immediately relaxed.

It took less than two minutes before my eyelids became too heavy to keep open.

For the first time in my life, I fell asleep in another man’s arms without feeling afraid.

Leo was the only man who had ever touched me before.

But now I was lying against the most handsome man I had ever seen.

The strongest wolf in the country.

The mysterious black wolf everyone feared.

And somehow…

He was mine.

My mate.

And as sleep finally took me, I felt his lips press gently against the top of my head.

“Sleep, beautiful.”

A smile touched my lips.

For the first time since my wolf had awakened, everything felt right.
