The Alpha's Protector

***Selene***

I'm Selene and I've been cursed to protect the golden bloodline all my life. It was not an easy task as I had to fight off almost all the werewolves in the world to protect it. Our family has been cursed to be the protector of the golden bloodline and to also protect the person whom it chooses. It has been passed from one generation to another and it's my turn. It is a blessing and also a curse.

I'm twenty-four years and I'm around 5ft tall. My tan skin complements my brown hair. My hazel eyes and my pointed nose accompanied by my pink plump lips made me very attractive but who wants to marry a cursed wolf? A protector of a golden bloodline who would follow an Alpha all her life?

Nothing must happen to the golden bloodline, I'll protect it with my life if I have to. My life is connected with it.

Walking down the bushy path slowly so as not to make some noise with Alpha Jareth I heard some horses approaching and I knew they were the ones after us. The Alpha who now has the golden bloodline had turned evil and he knows the complications of it if I was alive with him, it would bring chaos to the world. He had already caused chaos by fighting with other clans and now they were after us. I held my sword tightly as it was time for business.

Several galloping and noises were heard and we decided to run but they caught up with us. They were many and I couldn't count them.

"What to do?" I asked myself as I looked at Alpha Jareth. His bloodshot eyes and the way he clenched his fist. He was bloodthirsty and I knew I couldn't control it anymore.

"You have nowhere to run to Selene." The Alpha of the Blood Moon kingdom jumped down his horse.

"All I know is you aren't getting the golden bloodline from me. I'll protect him at all costs." I spat.

"He brought war to our kingdom and other kingdoms. He killed my Luna. That bastard!" He yelled as he pointed his sword at me. They began to attack me and I kept fighting back and protecting Alpha Jareth. He must not die.

One swung at me and I dodged instantly, piercing him with my sword in the belly. I kicked him and he fell to the ground.

Another tried to behead me with his sword but I was faster. I sliced his hand off his shoulder and he screamed. I beheaded him instantly too. Alpha Jareth pushed me away. I held him and he pushed me aggressively. He began fighting, killing them with less effort. Beheading and piercing them with his sword.

More people came, attacking us.

"Let's go Alpha. We are outnumbered." I warned but he didn't answer.

If he continues like this his core is going to explode and I'll die with him.

He continued fighting and I decided to help him out, I was his protector after all.

They began to change into their wolf form since we had killed almost all their men.

I changed into mine too.

My fur was unique as it was a silver color and I had a black strand on my head.

I attacked the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack immediately and gave him a bad bite on his neck. He was bleeding profusely. I was also getting tired at that moment. They've been after us for weeks. They are the only pack that has taken me so much time to kill ever since I became a protector. I continued killing the other wolves as they were omegas and rogues, it was very easy for me to kill. I changed back to my human form immediately and I was naked. I didn't care. Alpha Jareth must not die.

I went to Alpha Jareth. I grabbed his wrist and he was hot.

"You have to stop. You'll explode." I begged but he didn't listen. He went forward and continued. The Holden bloodline makes you bloodthirsty when you turn evil and it's a path you can never come back from. I wanted to go meet him but before I could get to him, I saw a shiny golden light from him. I began to feel weak.

I got stabbed from behind. I fell on my knees and Alpha Jareth continued fighting.

"Stop!" I yelled as he turned to look at me. He didn't care. He continued fighting till the light became brighter and brighter and he exploded.

I grunted as I dug my sword into the earth and tried to stand up but the pain and agony I felt was not manageable. The person removed the sword from my stomach and I fell.

The golden bloodline disappeared.

I surrendered to the pain and died on the spot.

[Dante]

"Sir!" One of my subordinates rushed in.

"What's wrong?" I asked surprised as to why he was home. His clothes were really dirty and he smelt bad He's supposed to be helping me with my business transactions with the Greenwoods.

"She's dead sir. The building where we were having a meeting caught fire." My beta, Daniel announced.

"And how is that my business? At least you're safe. Have you completed the transaction? Are the property papers with you?" I asked.

I know I sound mean but Kali is not someone to pity. Immediately after her father died, she auctioned all her father's property and as the Alpha of the Blackpack, I had to buy them all so it wouldn't end up in the wrong hands. She even said she was going to leave the pack after.

Kali has always been rebellious and a spendthrift. She was a drug addict and a prostitute. I found out when investigating her before acquiring all of the assets. I hate her so much I'm happy she's finally leaving my pack.

"If you don't check on her, they'll think you killed her just to take her father's property," Daniel said.

"What? What do you mean?"

Of everything in the world, I hate having a bad image and false rumors being spread about me.

"You were supposed to be present in the first place but you made an excuse and now she's dead. Connect the dots, sir." He said

"What are you insulating? I didn't go because I didn't want to see her ugly face." I almost yelled. That kind of accusation is too strong. I hate her but I can never kill her.

"Nobody would understand sir. That's why you have to come with me, just for the press, nothing more. Rumors spread like wildfire Alpha Dante." He said and I stood up.

"Fine, let's go," I said and we both went out. He got into the passenger's seat in the front and I got into the passenger's seat at the back. My driver drove us to the company. My driver stopped in front of Kali's late father's company. I ran to Kali's mother who was still holding onto Kali and crying her eyes out. Kali's clothes were burnt and dirty. Part of her skin was dark as coal.

Raven, Kali's mother has always been a good woman. I wonder how the moon goddess paired her with such an evil daughter.

"Please wake up. Wake up please." She slapped Kali's face gently. The firefighters were trying to quench the fire and the ambulance had already arrived but Kali's mother wouldn't release her so they could check her vitals.

"Ma! Let them check her vitals. She could still be alive." I said and she raised her head. Her eyes were red and swollen and her beautiful face I once knew was now wrinkled.

"You mean she's still alive?" She asked and I nodded.

"Check her, please. Check!" She finally released her and cleaned her tears. I felt bad for giving her hope. Kali looked lifeless as she was pale. It was obvious she was already dead.

One of the paramedics checked her vitals, stood, up and shook his head negatively.

"What's the meaning? Why are you shaking your head?" Kali's mother yelled.

I held her preventing her from going back to Kali's lifeless body.

"Dante!! Leave me alone. My daughter can't be dead. Never!" She screamed as she cried.

I handed her to my beta Daniel. I took a close look at Kali. She looks so clean and neat, even with the coal and dirty clothes, she looks so different, so ethereal. She had a serene demeanor. "Is this Kali? Is she dead just like that? Was it that simple?" I asked myself as I stared at her lifeless body.

"Excuse me, sir. We have to take her." One of the paramedics said and I stood up.

"Don't take my daughter away from me. Please." She struggled with Daniel and she finally got out of his grip. She ran to where Kali was still lying.

I rushed to her to take her away but Kali suddenly opened her eyes.
