“Alpha Sullivan, may I take your order?” A voice behind my back filled my ears as I turned around with my hands at my back. My sight was welcomed by a well-groomed waiter as he bows at me. I nodded, acknowledging his presence while I sat on my seat.
“A fine red wine will do for me.” His head went down until I was left all alone. My body immediately relaxed as the man left and I can now be myself, the simple Cassius Sullivan. Not the king of magnificent creatures known as wolves, but me, a werewolf who wants to be with mate, having pups, build our own family and die but I can’t have them knowing my ability.
The waiter came inside my room, exerting force to keep the wine balanced on his tray. I immediately drank the wine little by little as I have reminisced from my past. Red wine’s sharp feeling on my throat relives the memories of the time, centuries ago.
As the Alpha King, curse happened to be the worst thing that gave to my life. My fate decided to not be so benevolent and kept me living with such curse. A curse that no one will accept and the curse that can even surpass the greed of wolves for power. Nonetheless, the moon goddess still gave me wonderful people who looks up to me and my ability to serve them as their king, their Alpha King.
The familiar scent of my royal beta registered to my senses. Something that usually happened to me as my mind travels so far. My beta must be less than a hundred meters away from here that his scent went to mine. I decided to leave the room, clutching my handkerchief to wipe my mouth, wet from the delectable wine. Bows welcomed my path and I leave the place.
As I step my foot on the cold ground, I was welcomed by the cold air of midnight and the scent of the blood of my beta, Decker. His face and chest filled with blood as I spoke to him.
“Alpha, we should go! An attack of rogues came the south border. The attack on the north was a trap! We were out numbered alpha, and we need to go!” I cursed under my breath and left for the woods. I immediately shifted and my midnight black wolf quickly mimicked the darkness of the night. I turned my head to see the dark brown fur of my royal beta, running along me. I nodded at him to take over.
“Alpha! We need help!” A pack member shouted to me, panic dripping his voice and that made my wolf completely took over. The scent of blood coming to my nose, make me growl and the claws elongated more than the average size of a werewolf king.
I growled at the large amount wolves at the end of my boarders. Some were my pack member and some are sane enough to stop fighting back to their king. Truly, some stupid alpha trying to rebel or a wolf trying to threat me and the throne pulled this attack out.
'Kill everyone. Leave no survivors!'
I let out a growl as I stop to give orders to my warriors. From the pack bond, I can feel their bloodlust, the eagerness to kill all the people who tried to harm the Royal Pack, the pack that has their families, friends, loved ones and especially, their mates.
A wolf tries to come close trying to lunge and pin me down but a flaw was evident to my eyes from his move. I let out a deadly growl and used my claws to scratch his stomach, letting out a small yelp that I didn’t know that this male wolf could ever make. Four more wolves tried to pin me down but I immediately injured them, letting them pass out and chunk a part of their necks for them not to meet the daylight again. I can see Decker fighting along with my royal Gamma, Rohan with the rouges that is now about to die down. The new batch of my pack warriors came by and more kills were done.
I continue to fight rouge after rouges that came to the way and slowly, their numbers decreased and I can see them falling down. I can now see werewolves in their human form, shifting from the dead wolf that died with.
“Anyone who’s greatly injured?” I asked through the pack mind link.
“No one, Alpha King. Just a few scratches and broken bones but we’ll survive, Alpha. We are honored to fight along with you.” I nodded. My wolf feeling happy and proud of the pack that he made. Strongest of all packs, the Royal Pack.
“Before you burn their bodies, find evidences that made lead us to who did this and sniff their clothes off. Gamma Rohan, bring me a report of what you have found by the end of the week. Go.” I ordered through the link and the warriors started their works.
“Beta Decker, call the pack trackers.”
My paws led me to the place in the west, my wolf wanting to be with the magical waterfall that our Moon Goddess gave us. Only us in our pack is where the Goddess herself gave the best gift of the nature.
My beta followed my path, probably waiting for more orders to come as I haven’t yet dismissed him. I walked through the familiar trunks of trees that leads to the Huwahen Falls, the waterfall never failed to mesmerized the wolf, as it brings me the calmness. I shifted to my human form and wore the pants that we’ve left all over the places so the wolves won’t need to worry on not having to wear something.
“Alpha?” My beta asked. I saw him clutching his chest, dripping with blood.
“What happened? Where did you get those?” I asked. Even if I knew the answer.
“From fighting, Alpha King.” My head tilted in confusion.
“It has been bleeding for an hour by now, since you’ve came to me in the restaurant. How come you didn’t mind link me?”
“Alpha, your mind must be so clouded with thoughts that I can’t get to you. I got this on my way to you. A fight with our greatest pack warrior arrived, who I think is the one who plotted this all.” My beta spoke and I let my mind wander through the recent activities of mine. Is my mind really that clouded? Then why did I sense my beta coming over?
“Warrior Colton?” I asked, rage filling my body as I learned about my warrior who betrayed me.
“Yes, Alpha. I killed him before I even got the chance to interrogate him. Our warriors sensed the vulnerability of ours that made me call for you immediately. I am sorry for disturbing your time for yourself, Alpha King.” He bowed and I just didn’t mind his blabbers. I walked and saw the magnificent falls that never fails to make me calm, soothing my body as I dip my human form down on the crystalline water.
“Beta Decker, you can leave me here. I will be back tomorrow at the palace. You can now meet your mate.” I said, I tried to stop the bitterness dripping from my voice. My beta happened to be so lucky having a mate with him. He found his mate a year ago in a ball where it was yearly held for wolves to attend in order for them to meet their mates.
“Yes, Alpha King.”
My mind immediately wondered over my mate, who must be so beautiful and having such magical looks that will probably make me fall on my knees. Even without seeing her, I already knew that I loved her. I am already old, 873 years old. I craved to find her, but with the curse I brought upon myself, I don’t think I’ll ever have the chance to meet her.
I swam through the waters, stretching my arms as it fights along the current. Like my physical body, my mind swan to the thoughts of my mate. Will I ever get her to swim here with me? Does she like travelling? Trekking? Will she want to have our wolves run through the pack lands? Or if she is a human or any other creature, will she want to be with me, riding my back as I tour her to the whole pack?
I dive and went up. That’s what I am currently doing until I heard a dry leave, breaking into pieces. My body immediately tensed and I immediately shifted into my wolf. In wolf form, I am much stronger and can defeat anyone easily. I left the water and I shook my fur as I hear the small giggle that comes from the intruder. How dare my warriors come to not notice the rouge?!
My wolf jogged to the place where the sound came and I smelled the most wonderful scent that I have ever smalt my entire life. The scent of cream and the scent of the oceans mixed made me run faster, knowing that it is our mate.
I ran and immediately came to a stop when I can now feel her presence. As I turn my head around, I saw the most stunning woman I have ever seen other than my mother. Her eyes were a bit big, natural tanned skin, her small nose and her lips that were really red. Her black hair falling down until her waist, a bit wavy. She is carrying a very small bag, that must be made out of cloth. Her clothes were a mess. I know that it is white but dirt filled it and I immediately worried at the small scent of blood present in her. What happened to mate? I heard my wolf asked.
“I don’t know. Hang on, buddy. We will take care of mate.” I replied convincing the both of us.
“Will she like us?” My heart sunk at my wolf’s question.
I didn’t answer my wolf as my mate’s alarmed face gathered my attention. I saw her sniff the air, she is probably a werewolf. I heard her growl and it almost looked cute because of her small size. I slowly made my presence known to her as her face filled with fear. She backed up and about to shift when I appeared in front of her. Her eyes widened at my wolf form. Her eyes filled with another emotion, awe and admiration. Something that made me slowly sat down and smiled at her, her body calming from fear.
Her blue eyes traveled through my whole form, I laid down with my head between my paws to show her that I am no threat. I looked like a dog, acting so obedient so that his master could give him treats for being a good boy.
Slowly, she got closer. Her body lowering, attempting to squat and her eyes met my gaze, liking this moment, I smiled bigger.
“You furry wolfy…” Fuck. This is better than what I have imagined. Her voice and her nickname to me is all enough to make me purr. Her giggle made me happier! She heard me purr! Goddess, I must be so embarrassing! I am a wolf! Not some kitty!
“You must be a high ranking wolf. I can feel it.” She said, her eyes squinting at the fact.
“You must also be my mate.” She said that made me nod my big head. Her blank face made me cold. Can my mate know what I am? I mean, I am the Alpha King.
“Poor you, you shouldn’t have me as your mate… Feel free to reject me.” Her words made my wolf whimper. Slowly, I crawled closer and I put my head on her lap. The sparks that I was just told before made me close my eyes shut, feeling the warmth of her. For wolves, the thighs and the lap were very intimate and putting my head there while my mate is letting me is something that made me ecstatic.
I closed my eyes as I felt her soft hands played with my big head, playing with my fur. I growled in approval. With this action, I hope I have stopped her from thinking that she is weak. She will never be.
“You, fluffy wolf, don’t shift yet okay? I want to be with your wolf form for a while. Can you do that for me?” I nodded immediately. Of course! I would do anything, mate. I would gladly provide for your needs.
“Now, let us go, fluffy. I want to visit the place.” She tapped my body and I can’t help but to purr again making her giggles. Now, I don’t mind purring at all. Her giggles were more priceless.
We walked with a comfortable silence while I can’t help to stop smiling. She clutched her small bag beside her as we walk. I am at her back, watching her hips move left and right as she walks. Later on, the familiar view of Huwahen Falls made her stop. Huh?
“Fluffy, you can now go home. Don’t worry about me, you have a pack to take care of. Just please alert the guards tomorrow morning so that I can pass outside the pack lands peacefully if ever I stumble upon them.” I looked at her. I whimpered her and laid down. Mate is leaving?
“Fluffy… I am weak while you are a ranked wolf. The reason why I am talking to you right now is because you are my mate and you are in wolf form. I-I c-can’t stand in the presence of a man, fluffy.” Her voice broke at the end of her words, making me grow forlorn about it. She must have been in a bad place full of bad men. That thought made me so angry.
“Fluffy, you need a strong mate. You can do it on your own.” She said. I licked her tears streaming down her face.
“Shift and we will settle this. But don’t go to close to me please?” I nodded. I felt her hug me and I felt delighted at the warmth of her body.
“Please don’t hurt me.” I heard her whispered. I know it wasn’t mean for me to hear but being the Alpha King of Werewolves, made it more sensitive.
I ran to the forest, shifted, wore some clothes and I immediately showed up to her with her back facing me.
“I will never hurt you. My wolf nor I. We will protect you at all costs even if it means to protect you from ourselves.” I said that made her face me.
“A-alpha King.” It was her last words before she kneeled.
“No! You are my queen! You shouldn’t do that!” I panicked.
“A-alpha.” I can smell her fear and she immediately passed out on the ground. I ran to her and immediately carried her body.
“My mate.”
