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 our destiny to be together."I tried to protest, but he wouldn't let me speak. "I know you have someone else in your life, but you cannot deny the bond that exists between us," he said firmly.The elders nodded in agreement, and I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders. What was I supposed to do? How could I choose between my boyfriend and my weird mate?"I need time to think," I said, feeling overwhelmed.Alpha Leo nodded. "Take all the time you need." But know that we will be waiting for you. and that it would be hard for you to escape from this."I left the meeting feeling even more confused than before.The words of one of the elders stuck to my mind like glue. "Sophia, an alpha cannot rule without a mate."How was I supposed to make such a life-changing decision? And what if I made the wrong one?I arrived home and was surprised to see my father instead of my mother. He's always busy with work, and it's rare to see him at home.I tried to act normal, but I couldn't hide the distress in my face. He noticed and asked me what was wrong.Without thinking much, I spilled the beans and told him everything about being a werewolf.He was shocked, and I could see the anger rising in his eyes. He couldn't believe that his own blood was a werewolf.He started to yell at me, calling me all sorts of names."So you are an animal?" "Why would I have an animal as my daughter, especially when I'm not one?" He started off by asking."Dad, I'm not an animal, just a werewolf." "Stop making it sound like something else," I retorted, but that made the whole thing worse."What's a werewolf?" "Isn't that a beastly animal?" "So why are you denying you're not an animal?" He asked, and I couldn't even get myself to reply to him this time.My mom was even included in his insults for giving birth to a weirdo like me, and he even threatened to disown me.I couldn't take it anymore, and I ran out of the house, tears streaming down my face. I had never felt so alone and rejected in my life.After leaving my father's house, I had nowhere else to go. Kelvin's place could have been an option, but I didn't want to disturb him, so I reached out to Bradley through our mental link. She offered to let me stay at her place, so I went there.While at Bradley's, I happened to stumble upon Alpha leo whom I have been trying my best to avoid since I arrived there.But something seemed off when I saw him. He was at a deserted area in the woods, where I was just taking a stroll and trying to clear my mind.As I walked closer, I saw him transform from the wolf he usually is into a human standing tall and straight."I bet you're so surprised to see me this way." "But I can explain, and that is only because you're my mate and I shouldn't be hiding anything from you." He turned over to me and stated.I couldn't even catch my breath, and I didn't know how to respond to him."I'm not a wolf through and through, like the rumors you heard." "And I can shift into a human rarely, and that happens two days a week," he relayed, and my mouth opened wide in shock."You do? Why then hasn't anyone seen you, and why haven't you presented yourself to me in a human form all this time?" I managed to ask."An Alpha cannot lay all his cards on the table, can he?" "I need to have a few hidden cards of my own." He replied with a wink. It was a rare reaction from him."So you decided to keep it a secret from them?" I queried."Yes. But my mate should know. Before I could process the preference he was giving me, I heard him speak once more."I would like you to visit a seer with me," he announced."A seer? What for?" I asked."To know more about ourselves," he replied, and so I followed him to see the seer.I only went out of curiosity. I wanted to hear what the seer had to say.Reaching there, the seer already seemed to know why we were there and told us something shocking about our situation: that Alpha Leo would only have a steady and normal human form if we mated with mutual agreement.If it's done without it, I would die and he would never have a steady human form, and she added that the both of us are destined to be together."He will continue to be aggressive in pursuing you, seeing the condition he is in, and that will make it impossible for you to keep rejecting him," she reckoned.I was shocked to hear this, and so was Alpha Leo. I didn't know what to do next.How was I going to mate with someone I wasn't even sure I loved or wanted to be with? The situation was too complicated for me to handle."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. The fire
