Alpha’s Xavier’s point of view.
The rogue attack alone was just a cherry on top after everything that had happened in the last few hours. Actually, no! Not in the last two years. My anger was slowly getting mixed up with my jumbled up thoughts as my mind slowly got overwhelmed by my confusion.I took a deep breath in as I took a look at my surroundings. Dead bodies littered the ground and soiled my grass with flesh, limbs, and blood. The smell of rotten flesh and the metallic taste of blood filled the atmosphere and made the evidence of war more obvious. Fighting the rogues was the least of my problems and the last thing on my mind as I walked back to the pack house, with my face fully displaying all of the annoyance I was feeling. I took a deep breath in and cleared all of the loud voices in my head, just trying to get my thoughts in order.I walked over dead bodies, muddying my grass, and made my way to the pack house, longing to see her, be in her presence, and continue our conversation.My curiosity was slowly getting the better of me as all the questions I wanted to ask her started spinning around in my mind. I could feel my heart beating fast and faster by the second as I inched closer to her. I did not want to admit it to myself, but I badly wanted to be in her presence and hold her in my arms.The memories of the previous night’s events were still fresh in my mind, but somehow still a haze. It was as if everything was just induced by some sort of high or a very long acid trip. Somehow, the urge to see her again was driven by the insecurity in my mind that I was losing my mind and she was not real. I realized that everything that happened the night before was just a figment of my cruel imagination. I needed to see her again, talk to her, find out more about her, and I just couldn't help wanting to do anything and everything necessary to figure out whatever it was that was driving me wild. Ignoring my wolf was starting to be the hard part as I tried with all means to make sure that he did not influence me. A whole mate, delivered right to my doorstep.I remember it like it was yesterday... well, actually it was yesterday. Everyone was on high alert and panic was thick in the air. Someone trespassed into my land and left everyone in a state of mass chaos. The entire pack was evacuated just in case the package was a bomb. And I sent enforcers to handle it as I rushed back to the pack house to handle the matter myself.I remember stopping dead in my tracks and following a sudden peculiar scent as it led me to a random girl's path off in the distance. No, not a girl, a woman. She looked pitiful, to say the least. Confusion and panic were written all over her face as she struggled to run. I remember my eyes selfishly feasting on all of the tattoos that covered her naked and exposed flesh. Only the moon goddess knows how many times I have gone over the memory of when I first laid my eyes on her.I tried to pick up the weird smell that lingered with her but still couldn’t quite make sense of it. She looked like a rogue and slightly smelt like one too, but had no werewolf scent... Like, she was actually a human? Could she be under a spell? Maybe a vampire got to her and brainwashed her, or maybe this was all her plan all along, but then what would she want? What would she gain from all of this, and how would she know that we were mates if we had not yet met? I know for a fact that I would remember meeting such a beauty, especially with her being my mate.Her beautiful fiery gold eyes called out to me. Her pale, chapped lips quivered with fear as her eyes were constantly looking around with a great deal of alarm and confusion. It was as if she couldn’t comprehend what was going on in her surroundings. The weird thing was how she looked beaten and abused, but there was no shred of fear coming out of her system, just the apparent confusion masked with fear on her face. It was as if she was not scared at all but just using fear to cover her confusion.I couldn’t smell or see traces of actual fear from her, even though she was a stranger, trespassing and running away from a riled up pack of werewolves curious about her motives and ready to tear her limb from limb if needed.Everything just happened so fast. I could barely control my emotions, my feelings, my thoughts, and my words. All I could focus on was her and her scent. It was as if a switch had just gone off in my head. It was like I was being released from a delusion and getting trapped in some sort of hold. I was getting a rush of emotions and feelings. Some were mine, but most of them belonged to my wolf. No matter what angle I looked at it from, the conclusion was the same. It did not matter whether it was my wolf's point of view or mine, the events of our meeting ultimately ended the same way every time I went through them in my head or in my wolf's thoughts.I could feel deep passion brewing and burning up deep within me. At first, I thought maybe it was anger from seeing someone trespassing on my pack land. Someone had found a way to trespass on my land and go all the way to the heart of my pack without being detected. I could feel a growl threatening to rip through my chest and my wolf losing control. I caught more of her scent in the air as a growl came out of my lips. I was about to shout when I noticed she was losing her balance. Something deep in me just told me to protect her with all my being as she fell into my arms.Her eyes opened for just a few more moments, allowing me the opportunity to look at her one more time as her heavy, fiery orange eyes had let an ocean of tears escape and slowly come down her pale cheeks. My chest increasingly went up and down... up and down, then faster and faster. Everything just clicked... It all made sense. The words fought to leave my lips, but I couldn’t help but let them out as she passed out in my arms.“Mate,”She was my mate.“Mate,” but how? No, I must be wrong. My wolf must be wrong... She can’t be my mate. She’s... she’s Well, she’s just not my mate. How can “she” be my mate? Why would the moon goddess mate me to another woman after the loss of my mate? A beautiful woman with welcoming eyes and an aura filled with warmth, but still not my actual mate... I had a mate and this woman wasn’t her.What trickery is this? No, I'm mistaken. That’s it. I mumbled on and on to myself, not sure what I was feeling or thinking, just pure confusion. I am confused about my own thoughts and feelings. What if my Beta finds out? What will happen to my pack? What will I say to them? How will I explain this? How do I tell my beta, best friend, brother-in-law, and late mate's brother that I have found my second chance mate so soon after losing his sister? How do I even explain it to him when I don't even fully understand it myself?How could this be? Was this really happening to me? Maybe I am losing my mind. Did I really have a second chance, mate? A lot of questions kept running up and down the corners of my mind. I could not bring myself to get my mind off of the picture of her, the pain and sorrow that filled her eyes. Her skin was covered in a slew of carefully designed and inked tattoos, as if she were both a muse and a canvas.My cheeks were littered with a stream of dry and wet tears of pain and agony.Her eyes are just covering a bottomless pit of pain and sorrow. It was not like anything I had ever seen. Even the prisoners in our cells were not as tormented as she appeared to be. Her eyes held the most anguish I have ever seen in all my years of existence. I may be older than she, but she has been through things in this world that no man could imagine or ever experience in my whole life. I could just tell by the way that my wolf got riled up at the sight of her and how instinctively very protective of her he already was of his beautiful little mate.After all the drama, dealing with rogues, fighting, blood and gore, I was finally ready to face her. It was finally time to face the tattooed goddess that is my mate...my second chance mate.Alpha Xavier's point of viewStomach in, shoulders back... I mumbled in my head as I straightened my posture and raised my hand with the tip of my fingers on the side of my head in salute. My beta’s stern face was filled with raw anger and frustration. “What the hell am I hearing? Is it true that you allowed a goddamn rogue to stay amongst us?" How could you let such a thing happen in the pack? How did she even get into the territory? Talk more about her getting so far into the pack lands. How did no one notice her pondering?Is this how you plan to lead the pack without my sister by your side? With all due respect, Alpha, I am talking to you. Answer me... what the hell is going on alpha? ” Anger radiated off of him in bulk. My mind swirled with flashes of all the memories and moments of him unleashing his anger upon me. I tried to maintain my ground and not falter. I tried to stay strong and not break down with insecurities and anxiety in front of him. My relationship with my beta
Alpha Xavier's point of viewMy whole attention was on my mate as she got scanned, tested, and examined once more, but this time it was proving to be a success. One of the perks of her being my mate is me being able to find and follow her scent easily, but what I never counted on was what I would find once I found her.Finding her was one thing, but actually getting her back was another. Her hazed and crazed eyes were all that grabbed my attention as she looked down at the two werewolves on the floor moaning with pain. "What happened? Hey, are you OK? Who did all this? Did you get attacked? Why did you run? "My feet immediately brought me to her as my hands rested on her body, trying to look for any injuries she might have sustained, only to find none. I could feel the light sparks going down my body as our skin touched, but I ignored it. It was not the time to deal with our mate bond, or what I think is the mate bond."I apologize...I panicked. I don't know what happened. I just wa
Alpha Xavier's point of view."Exactly what do we make out of this? We can not just allow her to roam around the pack . She is a walking safety hazard and you know it. she already tried to escape and injured some of the pack members. Why on earth are you defending this chaos. We need to cut off the head of this snake before things get out of hand and this spy plays out whatever plot she has brewing,"I knew that Caleb was right but I did not want to admit it to myself. Everything was just becoming too much of a coincidence and the timing of it all left no room for me to question how related everything was. " I saw the security cameras and how she reacted to the examiners coming to check her up. It all seemed to be a reflex I will give you, but that type of reflex does not just naturally come out of nowhere…it is not something one can be born with, you have to be trained. You have to admit it, everything is pointing towards an enemy playing games with us. This is a setup… a chess move
From Alpha Xavier's point of viewMy paws hit the ground with loud thuds as the sound of my racing heartbeat rang loudly in my ears. I could feel every injury in my body feeling strained as my muscles retracted from the impact of my paws hitting the ground, but I could not stop. Panic and adrenaline rushed over my body as I ignored all of the pain and agony that I was supposed to be feeling from my injuries and kept on running.I could no longer sustain being in my werewolf form as all of my raging emotions and animalistic urges suddenly dissipated. I could feel my walls shaking and quivering as if something deep within him was breaking. I could feel him losing his sanity and sense of being as if he was breaking and unraveling right before my eyes and his pain was mixed with my pain to produce an overwhelming sense of anguish, sorrow, and agony.The sounds of my bones breaking and reforming into my human form fill the atmosphere as I complete my shift back into my body. The deck darkn
From Alpha Xavier's point of viewBeta Caleb walked in without even waiting for me to answer... I guess this was the sign that I needed. A part of me was beyond grateful for all of the respect he still showed me. Our relationship was more than broken…as much as losing his sister and my mate It brought us apart, but it also brought us closer together. Our shared desire for vengeance was unlike any other and the only driving force we needed to keep us going. After losing my mate, I completely broke down and let go of myself. Some thought that I would either take my own life ,get overwhelmed by grief, or go crazy from the loss of not only a mate but a child too... my son , but I conquered all of that with Caleb's support.I looked down at the photo in his hand in confusion just trying to understand what I was looking at aside just a bunch of numbers."The letter that came with the rogue girl mentioned behind her ear being the first clue... well we checked." I had Miranda take pictures an
From Alpha Xavier's point of view"The two of you stay here, and Caleb and I will go look around."Nemesis made a point to complain and try to make an objection, but I was not having any of it. I gave her a long, dead-ass no-bullsh*t stare before slamming the car door and walking off. The car ride was nothing short of awkward. The silence for almost a two-hour drive with no one even trying to break the silence, which I am grateful for.For the first time in a very long time, I could actually breathe. I still only took in a big breath and exhaled as my lungs finally adjusted to getting clean oxygen. The tension in my chest and the claustrophobia that I had been feeling suddenly dissipated as I walked further into the forest. The more I exhaled and inhaled ,the better I felt.It was like I could not breathe for the whole duration of the car ride, and now is my chance to actually catch a break. It certainly felt like I had been stuck underwater, escaped and was now gasping for air.I had
From Alpha Xavier's point of view."I think they want us to follow them."Miranda said as they started following the strange warriors with spears. Caleb and I looked at one another skeptically for a few seconds before also joining in behind them. I could tell that he was caught off guard and shook by the regulation, and I was too. I can't believe I just came clean to him. I just told my late mate's brother , friend, and Beta that I had found my second chance mate and received no definitive response from him. Not knowing what he was thinking of what thoughts lingered around his mind at the revelation of her being my mate was pure touture. All I could do was wonder what he thought of me now . Would he think I was cheating and trying to replace his sister's place in my life and pack? Would he at some point consider her my Luna or better yet would he ever see her as his Luna?What about his parents and the pack members? What would they think about this whole thing? Trying to not think abo
Alpha Xavier's point of view.A ground shaking growl ripped through my diaphragm ,passed my lungs and out my lips as I threw myself at one of the warriors and ripped the gun out of his hands ,damn near pulling at his flesh along with the gun.Another warrior tried to jump in the way but my rage was already at an all time high and I grabbed onto his throat before ripping away at it with my extended claw's. Being an alpha king came with perks and one of those perks was the ability to half shift into my wolf while also staying in my human form. A loud bang rang through the air followed by a crashing sound. I turned and watched my …ummm mate standing over a witches' passed out body, glass shards , water and scattered flowers littered the floor after my baby girl literally hit him with a vase over the head . I should probably refrain from such talks when it comes to her.I looked at the approaching warrior, bracing myself to rip him apart when I suddenly struggled to control my own body.
