The First Encounter

I looked at the forest. Hundreds of wolves keep emerging out of the forest all bearing their canines, ready to tear anyone from limb to limb whoever tries to stop them on their path of destruction. I don't give a flying fuck about them.

Only person I am concerned about was my mate, my other half. I scanned all through them but I could not find him. Everything was still, nobody dared to make a move from either side. Who could have that courage to attack on us? My father is the most feared alpha and he had already good relations with other pack. We meant no harm to anybody. Unlike others, my father is not some power hunger psychopath who attacked on other packs to expand their territory.

Then all of a sudden, out of blue, one man, only in his birth suit, emerged from the wolves and walked towards my father. Being werewolves, nudity was not an issue, but seeing a totally stranger butt-naked was something which brought blood to my cheeks. And no doubt he was handsome.

He was calm and composed just like the storm. The confidence was filled in his eyes and when his eyes met mine, I saw his lips twitched. On the other hand, my father was ready to go all ballistic on this handsome stranger. I know he was not an alpha, but still from the higher rank, maybe beta or the gamma.

"Alpha Rockwood, I am Asher of Black fortune pack", he said in a stone voice and bowed slightly in respect. "Alpha need you to come outside, otherwise I doubt, the consequences will be any good for you", Asher said eyeing the pups.

My father face got worse if possible. He balled his fists and started following the stranger alongside my brother and soon vanished in the forest. I again looked through the wolves but couldn't find my mate.

I quickly went to packhouse. I don't know but I had a bad feeling about it. First our pack was attacked by so many wolves and that to when we were going to decide the future alpha. Nobody dared to challenge the new alpha, because firstly, the new alpha will be way stronger than the previous one and secondly, it's stupid. So, the person who attacked us, must be so stupid to think that he would easily empowers us, until unless he doesn't have some hidden motive.

I balled my fists; my blood was already boiling with rage and anger. Two thing I only lived for, two fucking things I loved the most, my mate and the alpha title. And now, my mate is probably from the rival pack. And well for the alpha title, it is not going to happen soon until this whole thing cooled off.

I so wanted to follow my father but at this moment I had do think with my brain. I quickly held the basement door open and told the women and kids not to open it in any circumstances. I called the other alphas to inquire who attacked on us. I am not afraid of anybody of them, they were already weak, both in number and power.

"Okay thank you, I will be in contact with you for further information." With that I was hundred and ten percent sure we were attacked from the south side. But there is only one pack in south side and...

Realization dawned upon me; I quickly opened the front door only to witness the total chaos. It wasn't the type of total chaos where you encounter dead bodies or wolves fighting, but the totally opposite one. Complete silence. like the silence before the storm. I quickly ran in the direction where I saw my father last time, I ran as if my dear life depends on it. After running for god knows what time, I find myself hearing the howling of wolves coming from the middle of the forest, I quickened my pace and headed in the same direction.

Encountering the site and me being purely shocked will be the statement of the century. Hundreds of wolves both of our packs were howling and circling around, sensing me they growled, I let my wolf surfaced, letting them show who I am. They unwillingly submit and stepped back. Nobody dared to fight with alpha. Walking further, I saw people gathered in a ring circle cheering and howling. just like the battleground, a few minutes ago.

I pushed past the people and saw the most horrific scene in front of my eyes. My father was in his wolf form, the most feared Alpha of the continent was struggling to stand on his four legs, the alpha of the Blue moon pack on his knees waiting for the man in front of him to make his next move.

Fucking impossible. The man, not the wolf, how can be this possible. I can't believe it. His wolf was covered in blood, he was badly beaten up. The bruises said it all and the top of that the whole pack was watching their alpha being humiliated. That's the worst punishment for any alpha. Suddenly the man bends down and said something in my father's ear, his back facing me, in an instant he holds his neck and make him stand up. When he was about to deliver his final blow, something took over me.

"Stop."

Next moment, all the people were looking at my direction.

The man holding my father's neck in death hold suddenly tensed. He was taller than all of the people I have ever seen and extremely muscular. His back muscles not denying the fact.

Oh hell, what is happening to me, instead of breaking some teeth of him, I am shamelessly drooling over this complete stranger who was probably going to kill my father.

All were staring in my direction with pity, the emotion I am still not familiar with. I ran to one person who was responsible for all this shit.

"Who the hell you fucking hell you think you are"? Alpha or not, nobody can lay a hand on my family and still survive.

He turned towards me, his muscles flexing with every move he makes and the instant his blue ocean eyes met my hazel one, the world stopped. Suddenly all the rage I gathered evaporated. The familiar scent of strawberries and cardamom which was suppressed by my other emotions again hit my nostrils and I forget to breath. My wolf howled with joy.

The reality hits me with nothing like past time, the person I think will cherish me and I will love the most. My mate. Was none other than the devil himself. His blue eyes were so captivating, I can't look anywhere else. His eyes soften for a split second but gone in another. He closed his eyes and rubbed his hands through his hairs, my hands aching to do the same. His looks were so mesmerizing, I forgot what was my next move. I hugged my father and helped him to stand, his injuries were already healing, thanks to the alpha blood. He spats blood on the ground and cursed under his breath. I tried to compose myself before looking in his direction again.

I looked back at him to already being watched by me intensely. His eyes were the most beautiful contrast I have ever seen, ocean blue with green specks at the surface. I shamelessly drooled over him, until I realized I was too late. I lowered my gaze to his chest only to witness a tattoo, a tattoo of a dragon forging from the fire; on the other side just where the heart resides, written Selene in bold capital letters.

I looked away, feeling a pang jealousy from a complete stranger, all the wolves were bowing in front of us, not before us, but...

Fuck me. he was the alpha of the black claw pack. The ruthless, most feared, self claimed wolf prince, Alpha Reed Xander.

As if reading my thoughts, he smirked, but his eyes darkened even more if it was even possible.

I am not getting a good feeling about this.
