As Alpha Leo's eyes locked onto mine, I felt a jolt of electricity shoot through my body.
It was as if my soul recognized him before my mind could catch up. He walked toward me, his eyes never leaving mine.As he got closer, I noticed how muscular and strong he was. His silver fur shone in the sunlight, and his scent filled my nostrils, causing my heart to race.I couldn't deny that I was attracted to him, but the realization that he was my mate was too much for me to handle."Hello, Sophia," he said in a deep, melodic voice that sent shivers down my spine."H-hi," I stuttered, unable to form a coherent sentence."I see you have discovered the rumours going on about me" he said, referring to the fact that no one had seen him in a human form.There was something striking about him as well, he could communicate like a human though in a wolf form."Yes, I have," I said, my mind still reeling from the shock of it all as I tried to shift away from him but then, he stepped in front of me and blocked my path."Excuse me," I said, trying to step around him. But he didn't move. Instead, he looked at me with those intense green eyes and said, "You're my mate."he said, his eyes never leaving mine.I felt a mix of emotions at his words. Part of me was overjoyed that I had found my mate, while the other part of me was scared and unsure of what to do.I couldn't just abandon Kelvin, the love of my life, for a werewolf I had just met. I stood there, staring at Alpha Leo in disbelief, as he spoke about us being mates."I... I can't be your mate," I stammered, trying to distance myself from him."Why not?" he asked, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion."I already have someone in my life," I said, trying to sound firm and resolute."But you cannot deny the bond between us, and having a boyfriend doesn't stop it" he responded."You're mine." he added, stepping closer to me."I'm sorry, but I can't just abandon the life I've built for myself," I said, my heart racing with fear and uncertainty."I still refrute that," he answered, his voice low and comforting. "Just know that I will always be here waiting for when you are ready to accept your true destiny." He declared.With that, he turned around, his gaze focused on one side. My mind was racing, trying to process everything that was happening. I couldn't believe that I had been mated to a wolf—and the leader of the pack at that.As he continued speaking, my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching us. Alpha Leo's twin sister, who I later learned was named Emma, walked up to her brother and began speaking to him in a hushed tone.I couldn't help but overhear their conversation, and it made me feel uneasy. They were talking about me, and Alpha Leo was complaining about how I had rejected him.Emma was telling him to stop being a coward and to take what was his, reminding him that he had waited for so long to find his mate.After a few minutes, Alpha Leo dismissed his sister, and she left us alone. He then turned to face me his face contorted with anger."Alpha Leo, I can't be your mate." "I already have someone I love, and I don't want to have anything to do with a wolf," I said, trying to explain my situation.My words seemed to anger him, and he began to bark loudly, causing everyone around us to flee in terror. I was scared too, but I tried to remain calm."Please, Alpha Leo, calm down," I said, trying to reason with him.But he wouldn't listen. He continued to bark and growl, and I knew that I had to leave.I turned and ran back to my tent from where I took permission from the teacher to leave the place."Sophia, what's wrong?" "You don't look too good" the teacher asked. "I'm fine ma'am, just that something came up," I answered my voice shaking a bit.I knew that I couldn't stay at the werewolf academy any longer. The events of the day had been too much for me to handle, and I needed to get away.As we packed our bags and left the academy, I couldn't help but wonder what would become of me.I had just discovered that I was a werewolf, and now I had a mate who was a wolf. It was all too much to take in.But one thing was for sure: my life would never be the same again.I got home and saw my mom in the garden, trimming the flowers. I could tell she was lost in thought because she didn't hear me approaching.When she finally turned and saw me, her eyes widened in shock."Sophia! What are you doing here? "Why aren't you at the academy?" She asked in confusion.I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. I broke down and told her everything that had happened.From the moment I met Bradley, learning about Alpha Leo's unusual form, and finally discovering that he was my mate, I told her how I rejected him and how he barked at me in anger.My mother listened to me patiently, taking it all in. When I was done, she didn't know what to say. She just stood there, looking at me with a mixture of concern and sadness.After a moment of silence, she spoke up. "Sophia, this is a lot to take in. "I wish I could say something to make it all better, but I don't know what to do or say."I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes again. I had hoped that my mother would have some wise advice or a solution to this mess, but it seemed like even she was at a loss."What am I going to do, Mom?" I asked, feeling helpless."I don't know, sweetheart," she replied, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. "But we'll figure it out together."With that, she led me inside, and we sat down in the living room. We spent the rest of the evening talking, trying to figure out what to do next.As the night wore on, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had made a huge mistake. I didn't know if it was rejecting Alpha Leo or coming home, but something didn't feel right. And as I lay in bed that night, I couldn't help but wonder what the future held for me and my newly-discovered werewolf self. The next morning, I was sitting in my room, feeling all sorts of emotions—anger, confusion, and fear. Alpha Leo had summoned me to meet with him and the elders. I had no idea what they wanted from me, but I was scared to death. My mother tried to talk me out of going, but I knew I had to face my fears. I arrived at the venue of the meeting, a large clearing in the forest. Alpha Leo and the elders were all there, waiting for me. I took a deep breath and stepped forward. "What do you want from me?" I asked, trying to sound brave. Alpha Leo stepped forward and looked at me with his piercing eyes. "Sophia, we need to talk," he said. "We cannot ignore the fact that we are mates." "It is
"There is no need for you guys to waste time anymore. I see that the problem is coming from you, Sophia, but then you should make haste while the sun shines" The seer Admonished. That was the last drop of the hat before Alpha Leo gave the seer some amount of money and we were already on our way back. "You knew this all along didn't you?" I asked Alpha Leo as we journeyed back home. "Of course, I don't. I'm sure you saw how shocked I was to hear that so there is no need for you to lay accusations on me" He replied. "How then did you know to take me there?" I probed still not buying his Idea. He may have initiated some kind of dealing with the Seer beforehand, all to convince me into accepting him. "As an Alpha, there are occasions when you don't just rely on your judgment or reasoning but seek the knowledge of others and that includes people like the seer we just met" He replied and I saw some sense in that answer of his. "So what are we going to do now?" I asked. "I should be a
I took a deep breath, gathering my resolve. It was time to face my parents and confront the turmoil that had engulfed our family. With a heavy heart, I made my way back home, informing Alpha Leo through his assistant of my intention to do so.I wanted to let him know that I needed to handle this on my own. As I arrived at the front door, the sound of my parents' heated argument reached my ears. Their voices echoed through the house, filled with anger and frustration. My heart sank, knowing that the tension had escalated even further during my absence. I stepped inside, finding my parents locked in a fierce dispute. My mother's face was etched with worry, while my father's expression held a mixture of anger and disappointment. The air in the room was thick with tension as I mustered the courage to speak. My mother's voice rose, filled with anger and desperation. "How could you do this, Alfred? How could you push our daughter out of the house?" My father's face hardened, his eyes
Tears streamed down my face as I walked away, unable to look back. The pain in his voice echoed in my ears, a haunting reminder of the love we once shared. It was a painful farewell, but it was the only way to protect him and the life we had dreamed of. As I continued my journey, the sound of his heartbroken cries lingered in the air, a testament to the sacrifices we sometimes have to make in the name of love. –Alpha Leo's POV– During one of my days in human form, I strolled through the peaceful woods, the moon casting a gentle glow on the surroundings, I came across a secluded corner where I noticed a figure huddled on the ground, sobbing softly. Intrigued and concerned, I approached, only to discover Sophia, the woman who had captured my heart, in tears. "Sophia," I whispered, my voice filled with genuine worry. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Startled by my presence, she looked up, her tear-stained eyes meeting mine. The sight tore at my heart, and all I wanted was to ea
—Sophia's POV— I stood in the room, my eyes darting around, taking in every detail. It didn't take long for me to realize that I was in Alpha Leo's secret hideout. The realization hit me like a thunderbolt, and a mix of awe and vulnerability coursed through my veins. As I absorbed the surroundings, a sense of intimacy enveloped me. The room carried the unmistakable mark of Alpha Leo's presence - his essence seemed to linger in every corner. A soft smile crept across my face as I contemplated the significance of being here, of being granted access to his hidden sanctuary. Thoughts swirled in my mind, a whirlwind of emotions and questions. Why did Alpha Leo choose to bring me here? Was I truly that special to him? The mere possibility sparked a flicker of warmth within me, and my heart quickened its pace. I took a tentative step forward, tracing my fingers along the edge of a bookshelf, the books whispering untold stories. It was at this moment that I made a decision - a decision
As I walked back to the packhouse with Ben carrying my bags, my heart felt heavy with a mixture of sadness and longing. Alpha Leo's sudden departure meant that not only would he be absent for today, but also for an extended period. I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and uncertainty.The next day, I decided to venture out to the field where the other werewolves from the pack had gathered. As I approached, I couldn't help but overhear their hushed conversations. They were gossiping about Alpha Leo's ongoing search for Luna, the one who would be his mate and queen. The words stung my heart like thorns."He still hasn't found his Luna. What does that say about him?""I heard he's been searching far and wide, but no one seems to be the right fit."My chest tightened, and I felt a knot forming in my stomach. The weight of their words pressed upon me, and I couldn't help but blame myself. Maybe I wasn't good enough for him. Maybe I couldn't fulfil the role of Luna that he needed.Te
I carefully balanced my tray of food as I made my way through the bustling kitchen. It was breakfast time in the pack, and everyone gathered in line to collect their meals. It was one of Alpha Leo's strategies to foster unity among the pack members, and it had become a daily routine.As I approached my table, excited to finally sit down and enjoy my breakfast, my foot unexpectedly hit something solid on the ground. I lost my balance and stumbled forward, the tray slipping from my hands. My food scattered across the floor, leaving me feeling embarrassed and vulnerable.Before I could react, I felt a firm grip on my arm, and I was forcefully pulled back. It was Cynthia, the girl who had confronted me the other day. Her eyes burned with malice as she dragged me toward a familiar face.Sarah, a formidable werewolf from the Beta's lineage, stood there with an intimidating presence. She was known for her strength and skills, and many feared crossing her path.I could sense that she held a
—Alpha Leo's POV—-As I approached our pack's tent, my heart raced with anticipation. It had been a long and arduous journey, but knowing that I would soon be reunited with Sophia gave me renewed energy. The scent of her familiar presence filled the air, and I couldn't wait to hold her in my arms again.But as I neared the tent, my steps faltered when I saw Sophia running towards me. She stumbled into my embrace, her warmth and energy enveloping me in a whirlwind of emotions. I was taken aback by her sudden display of affection and her words about how much she had missed me."Sophia," I whispered, my voice filled with a mixture of surprise and joy. "I've missed you too."I held her tighter, feeling the connection between us grow stronger with each passing moment. It was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I realized how much I had longed for this very moment.We stayed there, locked in each other's embrace, as I marvelled at the transformation in Sophia.
