Adam POV
It has been several years since my dad Alfa Allen was killed by another pack. I sat in my father's chair only 25 years old still having no clue how to run my father's pack. I feel like I am failing or just letting everyone of them down. After another half an hour of working on paper work and other pack duties. I decided to take a break from the office and I feel my wolf Shane growing weaker. Shane began to whimper before he asked, more like yelling, "WHEN WILL WE FIND MY MATE! I WANT MY MATE NOW!"
I simply replied, " Only time will tell, but I hope soon." Sitting back into my chair I began to wonder what it would be like to have a mate. I have only ever heard stories from some who were older friends of my father who helped my dad raise me into the man I am today. Sorely wishing my mother and father could be here. I wished I could have gotten to meet her. I have only seen photos of her. Instead of risking my life she told doctors to save mine if at all necessary before she gave up her life at child birth to save me.
After my father passed it was just me. I was only 19 when I ended up taking over with the alpha responsibilities. I was the Youngest Alpha in a 500 mile radius to become an Alpha. This was due to a pack called the Woodlin. My father tried to make peace with him, but instead it became a war with them. Since we were supposed to have peace with them, only for my father to end up murdered trying to save our pack. I have never known the reason why they did what they did and I don't know if I want to know.
As far as I know they should have had no reason to kill my dad. He was a great Alpha of the Redwood pack. He was fair, kind, and just Alpha. He helped so many of our people and always told them they would be welcomed back if something happened. We were one big family in this wolf pack and that's how he wanted it. My father would probably be turning in his grave if he knew I was working on peace treaties in a 1,000 mile radius. He was a hard working man and he worked so hard to create peace with any wolf clan within a 500 mile radius.
I intend to live those peace treaties out to my dying days. I really want to make a peace treaty with the Woodlin pack, but now I'm not sure.... How am I supposed to feel about all this. Their Alpha slaughtered my father and he sacrificed himself to save our pack in the end. All I ever want is everyone safe in my pack and I'll be D***** if we digress instead of progress. Just as my thoughts continue to rattle around in my mind I get a knock on my now new office door.
"Come in" ,I yelled?. In came my best friend also my Beta Joe panting out of breath. He held up his hand to give him a moment to breathe. He never ever had to do that unless it was really bad. After a few moments he spoke....
"Alpha we have a problem..... There are two she- wolves fighting for the rank of Luna." informed Joe.
Getting up from my chair not even realizing I pushed past him I was out the door and down the stairs when suddenly my wolf took control hearing that two women are trying to claim Luna when I haven't even picked my Luna.
Not realizing my wolf had come out till I was downstairs shouting "NO ONE IS MY MATE STOP FIGHTING!!
Everyone that had gathered to watch suddenly dropped to their knees and the two she wolves that started to fight over the Luna Rank now lay paralyzed, nude, with bloody wounds all over them slowly beginning to heal. They laid there on the ground whimpering from the strength of my wolf radiating throughout the area. Everyone else is kneeling in front of me.
I stood with my arms crossed as I bellowed out to the ladies put your clothes back on and everyone got back to work. Get out of my sight. I yelled more gruffly than I intended to at everyone. They all scrambled to get back to work as the girls scrambled to get their clothes and take off again. After standing there for a few minutes before I just couldn't help but take off in a full on sprint to calm down. I mink linked my Beta Joe to let him know I was going for a run and that he was in charge till I got back.
Thirty minutes into my daily run, I smelled something that smelled amazing. It smelled of wild strawberry and cream with a hint of vanilla. I had no idea what it was till I saw a young woman walking around in the forest. Against the darkness that was starting to set in. All I could see was her Sapphire eyes glowing in the night. She just stood there and stared as if she knew something about me, but I couldn't determine how much she knew.
She slowly put her hand out to me to pet me and I let her. I laid my head in her hand as she rubbed my head. My wolf Shane let me have some control and I began to turn back into my human self till I heard someone calling her name in the distance. All this time all I could hear was my wolf saying " mate". I walked slowly over to her as she outstretched an arm to let me sniff her hand as if I was a wild animal. I just turned my head to the side all at once thinking what she was doing out here all by herself. She looked tiny and frail. I knew better though, because she smelled of Alpha blood.
