Chapter 12: Alpha Daniel

Alpha Daniel's pov

I knew it the second it hit me, slamming my mind into the ground along with the other males. This heat was radiating off her in waves from that beautiful silver wolf that was now smeared with blood making her look like she had been fighting as much as I was. I already felt my cock twitch. I didn’t even need the heat.

She was everything, she was the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen, and her wolf looked like she was the moon goddess. All of Allison was pure perfection, just for me.

I snapped out of my daze, realizing that everyone was out to get her, fuck her senseless. The alpha pup was already going for her when I dodged Alpha Rick's big wolf trying to get me from taking down his son when Ben counterattacked, leaving me all open to lunge at the young Alpha that had his teeth inside my mate’s neck, ready to fucking take her.

Her whimpering made me lose all fucking control over my beast when I just followed what my body told me to do, kill that motherfucker.

My jaws connected with the jugular. Before his father could even think to save him, I ripped his throat right out, dragging the body along with me, and tossing the dying boy at his father’s feet.

Alpha Ricks wolf seemed to be absolutely stunned. He didn’t even make a move at me when I snarled and turned around when I knew that Ben had my back for the second. I needed to know she was okay. I just needed that most of everything in the whole world.

“Allie, baby, please tell me are you hurt? Did he ….” I couldn’t even stomach the words; it felt unnatural, she was only mine to have, and I wished I could kill the fucker again when she shook her head almost invisible when I nuzzled her making my wolf purr, calming both her and me down when I felt the poking voice of Ben remind me that we had to leave, while Alpha Rick was still in shock.

“Split up, get the word out that we need more paws on the ground, and for goddess’s sake, don’t get fucking caught, Ben!” I barked out the order via the link, and he didn’t even hesitate before the blasting of leaving Allie and me in the dust, knowing we would have a greater chance of making it out if he could get help. I wasn’t afraid to die, it was part of the cycle of being an Alpha, but if she did, I would never forgive myself.

“Allie, we got to move now, sweetheart.” I used the alpha tone that made her move, not fast. Still, she was finally running with me behind her, not looking back at the mess of dead bodies of wolfs and the stunning Alpha that still hadn’t moved a muscle since his son’s heartbeat faded out.

FUCK!

This meant war. There was no coming back from this. I had killed the heir to the south, but I didn’t even regret it. Focusing on Allison’s wolf that was still sprinting forward, she wasn’t even tired, and she was fast. I was confused. She was an Omega…. She should have been spent already; if this was anyone else that was an Omega, something wasn’t adding up.

We had been running for almost half a day when I finally told her to stop, she didn’t want to, she didn’t even talk to me, didn’t listen, and finally, I had to grab her by her neck gently to make her stop.

She growled at me but immediately fell down on the ground panting, and I sighted. This was like going down the shit creek without a paddle.

I led her to a small clearing that had thick treetops shielding us from the elements and a small river babbling playfully like everything was okay in the world when it fucking wasn’t.

She still hadn’t said a word to me as we were both lying in our beast forms, staring at the abyss, not knowing what to do, waiting for the night to come. She yawned, which was adorable, making me smile, and she moved her head as she could see me smile even though we weren’t even humans and snorted at me, so she did know I still existed. How nice of her.

My thoughts were bitter by everything that had happened, if she hadn’t run away, I would have made her Luna right away, but no, she had to go and be all dramatic on me and run away like this was some fucking romance DaisyNovel, stupid females. I huffed loudly back at her, and she just turned her pretty head away like she didn’t even care that I was there with her.

I stared at her for what seemed to be an eternity, her ignoring me all the fucking time when I finally just said fuck it and walked over to her and nuzzled my snout into her fur. She still reeked of the blood of the deltas splattered over her beautiful fur, I had to make her wash it off, but right now, all I wanted was to have the attention of my mate.

“Fuck off!” she yelps at me, making me look adorable again. I didn’t even know how I wasn’t supposed to not be with her when she looked like a cute puppy next to my big frame and still snapped at me like she was and big Alpha herself and not a small Omega female.

This time I ignored her and fell down by her side. She tried getting up, away from me, when my heavy paw fell down on her front legs, stopping her, and she growled at me again to let go, adorable.

“Stay, sleep,” I said, the words commanding but with a tenderness that I couldn’t help to feel for her, my pretty little mate that was still trying to get away from me by struggling, completely ignoring my Alpha command… I studied her for some seconds. She didn’t look Alpha, not even remotely. Her aura still said Omega in my head. I didn’t get why she didn’t just obey me like she was supposed to.

“Get off me. You are fucking bastard! You killed them, all of them. You are a monster!” She screamed the last sentence in my head at the top of her lungs when I just scoffed, a monster. She said, yeah… I rolled my eyes if I could. She didn’t even know half of it, the things I had done for things far smaller than saving my mate from being mated with another male.

“Yeah, I killed them, so what?! THAT FUCKER WAS GOING TO RAPE YOU!” I screamed back at her. My patience was already spent. I wasn’t used to people screaming at me, not following orders, and being a fucking pain in my ass when I said something; it was the fucking law!

But not with her. She stopped struggling but stared right into my beast eyes that were pitch black with her own dark ones, she had a lighter shade than me, but they were beautiful, just as beautiful as her silver color as a human.

“I wished you killed me that day when you marked me! That would have been better for everyone. I hate you!” she hissed at me when I finally snapped and got up on my paws again and just snapped, making a loud bark that would light up or position like fucking beam in the night.

“That can still be arranged if you like!” my jaws were parted, showing fangs, I was snarling, and my ears were flat when she instantly cowered where she still was lying in the oncoming darkness around us in the small clearing.

She sounded like she was crying when I cursed in my mind several times, fuck. She was already driving me fucking crazy! I turned around and started to walk away. I needed to think for a moment and get my fucking head in the game.

I didn’t stray far, just a couple of steps out of the clearing to breathe. I could still hear her sniveling before sighting heavy falling down again, shit I fucked up. She wasn’t used to this, the killing, the power struggle. There was a reason you didn’t have an Omega as a mate as an Alpha. They were timid and submissive by nature, the fuckin natural order of the pack!

And still, she surprised me repeatedly with her temper, her power, and pure force coursing through her veins.

“Alpha.” I didn’t even answer, but Ben knew I was listening. He better has some good fucking news for me. I wasn’t planning on running back like a damn dog with my tail tucked between my legs, there was going to be a war, and I needed to be ready for it.

“They got to them first. I couldn’t stop it, twenty casualties.” Ben’s voice was formal, straightforward, and stripped of emotions.

Fuck!!!

So, they killed everyone. I wanted to go right back and kill that fucker Alpha Dick that had butchered my men for nothing, I didn’t take prisoners usually, but I didn’t execute warriors like fucking lambs to slaughter either. That was just fucked up.

“Make sure we get their bodies home… and get in touch with the families, the need to know that their kin is not coming back." I swallowed the bile in the back of my throat, this was the worst part of being Alpha, everyone, and I mean everyone’s life was my responsibility, alive or dead.

“You and the Luna, Are you safe?” I wanted to laugh, but I only snorted; it sounded ridiculous as a beast. He was fast to call her Luna when I knew for sure that she would rather take a silver dagger than be that after what had happened today.

“We're fine. She was just exhausted. We have about three miles to the border, nothing that we shouldn’t be able to cover pretty fast by daylight.” I turned my head, listening to the small sniffles coming from the clearing, and sighted again. I was exhausted, too, fucking emotionally after her words, riling me up in no time.

“Alright, I’m going to send some guys your way. They can meet you halfway after sunrise. There have been rogue sightings near the boards again.” Ben had a grim voice like I needed a reminder of who to protect my pack and growled at his slight challenge at me. I didn’t even want to hear a sliver of it, not after today. All I wanted was obedience!

“Watch who the fuck you’re trying to lecture, Beta. I know how to fend off some fucking weak-ass rogues, even with Allison along!” I sneered again, and he just took my command, accepting his position and respect for me as the Alpha.

“Well, meet up with the deltas tomorrow at first daylight, and don’t forget to make sure that everything is arranged for Allison when we get back. I don’t want any fucking surprises and keep Sabrina away. I don’t need that cunning bitch putting her venom in Allison’s head.”

I just broke off the linkage with a snap, but Ben was used to my rudeness, knew that I was hot-headed, and expected the pack to follow orders. Life depended on it!

The crying had stopped, and I tilted my ears in her direction, scared to death that she might have run off, but she was still here, breathing calmer now, slow and steady breaths that made me ease up a little.

She was sound asleep when I walked back. She was in her human form, naked. I stopped and started to purr. She looked absolutely delicious… I traced my beast eyes over her pretty face, ignoring the scar that I had made on her neck.

Stopping dead in my tracks at her beautiful round tits rising up and down with her chest, almost hypnotizing me. I was like a fucking puppy right now. I wanted to take her, fuck her right now, my beast taking one step towards her when I stopped myself and started to shift back; it was too dangerous to be around her in my beast, and my instincts were a hundred times stronger than when I was human.

I was already rock hard when I was still standing there like a fucking perv gawking at my own mate. I mean, how couldn’t I be?! She was fucking perfect! From her beautiful auburn hair to the dips in her curves and her ass when she turned slowly in her sleep. I had to almost walk away again when she suddenly fluttered her eyes like she felt my presence, looking at me sleepy with those gorgeous silver eyes that I could die for.

“Dan?” she said my name with such warmth that it almost knocked me over, and I’m pretty sure that I stumbled back a few steps from the shock to hear my name with such love like she hadn’t seen me kill a boy today.

“I’m here, baby girl. Go back to sleep.” I cooed her from a distance, and she nodded, accepting my word as she trusted me, giving me a small but loving sleepy smile before closing her eyes again. I just sat my ass down on the damp grass, staring at her beautiful being.

This was fucking ridiculous, she was my mate, my female, and here I was fucking scared she would reject me if I had the guts to get closer like I was some young pup that had never seen a naked girl before. Still, Allison wasn’t a girl; she was a woman and mine.

Fuck.

I got it bad, that’s for sure when I still haven’t been able to take my eyes off her, my dick still hard as fuck and as a sleeping mate.

This was going to be a long fucking night...
