Saving an Alpha

last update Last Updated: 2025-08-05 19:23:25

Seraphina.

I waited for the hard impact against the asphalt below, but it never came. Instead, I fell into sacks of hay, which cushioned my fall. The pain from the earlier hit made me alert, and the first thing on my mind was survival. I tried so hard to pick myself off the sack and run for my life. I wouldn't be able to prove my innocence if I were dead.

"Look! She fell into a sack!ā€

ā€œWho put that there?"

"Forget about who put that there, but she is escaping! Seal the borders!!ā€

 I painfully raised my head and saw the amount of people staring down at me with hateful eyes. Some people were already climbing over the balcony to jump down and catch me. I couldn't let that happen.As an Omega, I knew the layout of the pack like I knew how to eat. I slipped into and welcomed the darkness that hid me from the raging mob behind me. They would seal all the borders, but I already knew a way out—a way that was only known by Omegas.

"You can run, but you can't hide!!ā€ I heard them yelling at me from behind; torches had been lit, and their footsteps were thundering behind me.

My lungs were burning as I gasped for air, but I wasn't stopping. I ran like my life depended on this—which it actually did. Even when I was safely out of the borders, I ran. Sweat soaked my nightwear so much that it stuck to my skin. My head was pounding and my legs were still moving until they couldn't anymore.

I squinted to look at what was up ahead, and I let out a breath of relief when I saw an abandoned shack not quite far from where I stood. Maybe I could camp here to regain my strength, to rearrange my thoughts, and start my investigation. I would have to mask my scent from here on so I would be untraceable.

"Ugh.ā€ There was a deep, painful growl close to me. My heart leaped to my throat.

I spun around immediately, my eyes wide, looking for any form of immediate danger, and I let out a loud yelp when my eyes came in contact with shiny red orbs. The wolf in front of me was the largest I had ever seen, and the power that came off suggested it was an Alpha.

A wounded Alpha.

"Help me!ā€ The man growled out through his wolf, his voice laced with so much pain.

Was this a setup? A trap? I hesitated. I wanted to turn, run, and never look back.

"Please!" His voice came again, sounding even more broken that it tugged something deep in my heart.

I was an Omega. Omegas helped people. I had to help him. I couldn't help Alpha Zen, and… I shook my head trying to clear my mind, and I activated all five senses to evaluate the situation. His breath was ragged, and his heartbeat was too slow, as if his lifeline was slowly slipping off him. That alone was what made me have second thoughts.

I took cautious steps towards the Alpha Wolf while its eyes pinned me like a specimen. There was something about his look that unnerved me. It was as if he was seeing through me—seeing through my pretend faƧade that everything was going well with me.

"Hi.ā€ I squeaked, still making my way towards him. ā€œI'm an Omega, and I can tell you are bleeding awfully. I can smell your blood, and I know you are having a hard time breathing. It's okay if you can't talk; you can nod or shake your head when I ask questions.ā€ I lowered my gaze, and my eyes focused on the deep gash on his black hide, a little below his neck.

I was thankful that my eyes had already adapted to seeing clearly at night. I could spot the multiple stab wounds along his hide, from his nape and down to his legs. But that wasn't my first problem. My first concern was touching him. I was going to have to go through immense pain if I wanted to save him, and that pain was excruciating and maddening at the same time. That was one of the reasons why no one wanted to believe that I was innocent of killing the Alpha—the pain an Omega felt from the touch of an Alpha was enough to make an Omega plot for the Alpha's demise.

"I know you know that I'm an Omega.ā€ I steadied my breath and reached out my hand to him. ā€œI may black out a few times because of the pain that would torment me when I touch you. But I promise that I will save you, okay?ā€ I tried reassuring him, and his eyes were even more still and intense that it made me wonder what he looked like as a man and not a wolf…

ā€œOkay. I'm touching you now.ā€ I finally placed my hand on his hide and waited… for the pain to come.

I felt his fur beneath my palms, soft. Something coursed through my body the moment I touched him—not the pain I expected, but something calming…and electric? My breath steadied naturally, and I looked up to stare at him in wonder. My lips parted as I let out a sharp breath when I found his eyes still trained on me. He stared back at me in wonder, the pain in his eyes gone.

"So?ā€ His voice was a little raspy but thick. I had never met this kind of Alpha before. One who could speak with his voice even as a wolf—it was unheard of. ā€œHave you blacked out?ā€ He tilted his head to the side to give me a better look.

I shook my head and snapped out of it immediately. It didn't matter what I felt now. My only priority was to save this Alpha and run for my life. It wasn't going to be long before news reached all the werewolf clans and societies, and even he would be there to watch me executed if I was caught. My cover was already blown.

"It's weird, but I'm fine.ā€ I tried to form a smile but failed miserably. ā€œLet meā€”ā€

I felt around my thin nightwear, and I sighed in relief when I felt some healing herbs in my pocket. I was glad I carried it everywhere and even slept with it. It healed me every time Alpha Zen touched me. Maybe this was what was cushioning the effect of touching this Alpha.

"I would like you to lie on your back for me,ā€ I said so

ftly and helped him to turn over. ā€œYour wounds are deep, and this will really hurt.ā€

  • Seraphina- The Alpha's Murderer Ā Ā Ā A Different kind of Fire

    Seraphina.The flames roared to life before my eyes, and I couldn't shrink away from it. The smell of the smoke choked. My eyes were burning and I was gasping for breath, but there was no clean air to breathe from. The silent tears were already pouring down my cheeks and I lowered my eyes to find the wielder of the fire. Him. My mate. Alpha Kael."Crown prince!" A sharp and loud voice yelled through the rowdy crowd.I was already weak. I had already lost hope. I was waiting to feel the fire burn, for the fumes to choke me to death. No one would believe me. No one would come to my rescue... Yet, Alpha Zen said whoever was responsible should be forgiven? Why was life so cruel? Why did I have to take the fall for what I knew nothing about?"STOP!!!" A voice bellowed from the crowd, and I tried my hardest to look at what was going on. Hope bloomed in my chest. Was I about to be saved?The crowd was parting suddenly, as if someone was pushing them harshly away. Alpha Kael paused and from

  • Seraphina- The Alpha's Murderer Ā Ā Ā Let Her Burn

    Seraphina.The cold of the dungeon had seeped so deep into my bones I wondered if I’d ever feel warmth again. Time lost meaning in the pitch black, measured only by the relentless drip… drip… drip… of water and the frantic pounding of my own heart. Exhaustion warred with terror, pulling me towards a numb oblivion I desperately fought.Then, the iron door screeched as it opened.Harsh torchlight blinded me. Rough hands hauled me up. My stiff, bound limbs screamed in protest. I didn’t struggle. What was the point? The faces of the warriors were grim, devoid of pity. They didn’t speak. They simply dragged me out of the cell, up the endless stone stairs.The noise hit me first. A low, ominous rumble, like distant thunder, growing louder with every step upward. It resolved into a roar as we emerged into the main courtyard.People. Hundreds of them. Pack members crammed together, shoulder to shoulder, their faces a blur of anger and hatred. They were chanting the moment they saw me. They wa

  • Seraphina- The Alpha's Murderer Ā Ā Ā A Dead Brother

    Alpha Kael Vittori.My muscles ached as I struggled to keep my eyes open. I squinted under the morning sunlight that filtered into the room. The bed was warm and comfy— bed? The last thing I remembered was lying on the cold ground close to the abandoned shack, how did I get here."Alpha! You're awake!" A sharp voice by my side called me and I instantly recognized my Beta's voice. "Thank the goddess!"I welcomed the relief in his voice, but there was a deep unsettling feeling that pooled in the pit of my stomach that something was really wrong. My head ached slightly and I still felt a bit fuzzy, but I tried sitting up on the bed. When my eyes focused on Lysander, the look in his eyes was grave and in his eyes, deep concern was etched."Lysander... What happened? Our warriors?"Flashes of that night surged into mind as I remembered how my pack was being ambushed by rogues. The attacks had been coordinated as if someone was controlling them— something that had never happened before. And

  • Seraphina- The Alpha's Murderer Ā Ā Ā Flight and Containment

    Seraphina."What is your name?" He asked again for the third time, "I would make sure you're greatly rewarded for this."I ignored him like I did before. I wanted to finish this off and be on my way to a place where I wouldn't be found. It wasn't up to an hour when I finished cleaning the cuts and wounds. I had to fight the urge to ask him what really happened that he had so many stab wounds, it wasn't in my place as an Omega to strike a conversation with an Alpha."I'm done, sir." I breathed out and he assessed his body before looking at me. A ghost of a smile formed on the face of his wolf."You have done well—" he tilted his head to the side, a way of trying to ask me for my name, and I hesitated."You can address me as an Omega, sir." I bowed my head low, "My name is not useful and has never been useful."Besides, there was really no point. Soon, my name would be on the tip of the tongue of all werewolves in the world— Seraphina, the Alpha's murderer.He chuckled under his breath

  • Seraphina- The Alpha's Murderer Ā Ā Ā She killed the Alpha!

    Seraphina.A dark hooded figure dove out of the high window in a flash. I squinted my eyes, still trying to hold up my weak body. It felt like my life was slowly draining out of me, but I wasn't sure what was happening to me. I only knew I had to prepare a bath for the Alpha by this time of the night, and there was something about that figure that jumped out... It felt all too familiar, but still very strange."Alpha Zen? I'm coming in to prepare a bath, for you," I tapped softly on the door to announce my presence so he could open the door, but the door gave way under the palm of my fingers.That was strange. The Alpha always locked his room. My mind flashed back to the figure from earlier and my heart jumped to my throat. No, it wasn't possible. No one would dare! The Alpha was a strong—"Sera... Seraphina," I heard the low rasp of his voice call out for me. His voice was weak, and my wolf sensed a tinge of copper and iron mixed with wolfsbane in the air.I pushed the door open imme
