Adam's POV
I found my mate., Finally. My head was filled with her image. Pretty; red curly hair, looked like a burning fire, when she turned the first thing that caught my attention was her eyes, they were brown but with a hit of red; almost maroon, high cheekbones, very slightly tanned, she was glowing under the sun she seems like an easy catch, she was strong taller than most of the women I have seen.
Jason one of my elite warriors was blabbering and talking to her. I never supported his goal of sleeping with every woman he would ever see, but he never changes. Whenever he starts to flirt with women I just walk away, I had women swoon over me, it was fun before, I used to take advantage of every single one.
He respects them, at least that's what he says, what he does with women is non of my business. I am okay with whatever he does, as long as it does involve me
She rejected me, slapped me, humiliated me in front of my friends within 2 minutes of meeting her. She's got some nerve
Who was she? The Alpha s daughter or something. Blood Stone pack has seized a lot of power in these last few months, I heard my father talk about this pack once a few years ago. He told me the Alpha was coward and the pack was so small and underdeveloped. I don't know who the Alpha is now but he sure is great to have acquired so much success within this amount of time.
There had been a lot of complications making me the Alpha, I wasn't the one who was supposed to rule, but now the council members have no choice but to give me power. No one wanted me to rule, they never even tried to hide it. The elders never supported me, so a deal was made. I had to be successful in various things, have knowledge about everything that has happened in the past and what is happening currently, know how to lead a war, physical strength, forcefully train my element and last get my mate. So I have gotten away with anything, except that stupid mate thing, well not anymore
I don't intend on keeping her, she s too much; her strength, stubbornness, and everything; It s cute I got to admit, but love, always gets in the way of things. I already told my father that I have found my mate, and it was a time that he finally agreed and accept defeat.
If you start loving someone then losing them will ruin you intensely.
I didn't believe in the mate thing, 2 half's in a whole, an imaginary string that connects you both, so much bullshit.
From when I was younger my dad taught me never to love, it's so dangerous. It makes you crazy. Did she make me crazy, no absolutely not and I am not gonna let her.
I broke into her house, the nice room she had. Well there were only 2 rooms and one was completely white, classy and the other one was painted with shades of blue, furniture was all wooden.
Her smell was all over the blue room, it was comforting. There was one painting it was shades of grey, black and white, it was a girl she had wings, all her feathers were falling, her wings were bleeding, she was scared, it reminded me of someone, I didn't know she painted. She must have been surprised seeing me sitting in her chair., I enjoyed seeing her flushed face, sweat making her hair a darker rustic color. I found it amusing.
I will have to meet with the alpha of her pack, get more information about her from him.
I have been very busy currently, a few months ago my father decided that its time I took power. So today everyone will know.

Dawn's POV
I felt self-conscious, I was sweating the clothes were sticking a bit on my body. I hated it. My body felt visible to his eyes. Adam Black, I don't think he is from the Black family, they are very respected people. They always had security around, which he didn't have so most likely he isn't a member of THE Black family. I read about them once, I don't know much only that they hold a lot of power.
"Okay, now get out before I throw you back down from the window "He grinned brightly and decided to jump from the window, I didn't even bother to check if was okay, even if he broke a bone or hopefully everything he would heal, he's part wolf, I shouldn't worry
It was 6:50 pm, soon two warriors will arrive at my house. I needed to get to the Ball by 8:00 pm. They said formal wear. I don't plan on wearing a dress. I have one. It's plain black. No patters no shimmery shit. Plain.
I'll wear my nice jeans; that's the most amount of presentable I can give, light blue washed jeans and a black turtle neck sweater. It wasn't cold outside but they freeze the ball until its -12 degrees Celsius. Also because I still wasn't comfortable. I made a French braid wrapped in and made a lower bun.
I heard a knock on my door, "Alpha Dawn, we are ready for you. Should we leave now? Or do you need more time; if so we can wait, "I was ready, I didn't wear makeup, I don't wear anymore. I did years ago. Why attract attention.
I can't do the things I want to because some people have restricted me from doing so.
I took my gun, pocket knife, and necklace. I never lost the necklace. Even when I showered I wore it. Before leaving my house, I drank some water. Way too many people try to poison me. What to do, I have so many fans who want to kill me.
"Alright what are your names, I am driving. I hope you have some weapons with you. You need to stay with me for the first hour then you may leave, ask someone to get my bike once you reach back. I will go home alone. Any questions? "They were both dressed in black jeans and tank tops, hair tied up in high ponytails. The blonde lady answered me.
"I am Silvia and this is Ashly, we have our weapons. Yes, Alpha we obey whatever you say."
Good let's just finish this useless gathering
It was a 20min drive. I hate speaking while driving but I need to know who all were coming other than the Alphas and who conducted this Gathering, this was my first Ball ever so I had no choice but to ask the warriors. Apparently, it's held by the King of Alphas, I don't know who I have met and not, maybe I have met him.
I don't know! he wants to make a big announcement it seems. I want that position, Queen of Alphas sounds nice. The king or queen has full control over every pack in the world. I am pretty sure the King has more powers than the Queen. If I ever get that position, I want the same powers as the King, if there ever will be a King. I am not saying one should have more powers, just make it equal is that too much to ask.
I arrived at the ball, it's too much decoration. Big ass chandelier above me, do they even know the consequences if that thing falls. It looks classy as fuck. I mean I you know even simple things are pretty, this is too much. I hate it.The top 5 packs including mine have arrived. Almost 3 Alphas asked me if I was a Luna or a warrior. As soon as said I was the alpha, their fake welcoming smiles then managed to cringe in the weirdest way possible. I simply walked away, I was used to this. Being discriminated against for being a female alpha.Everyone was not so shocked seeing me in casual wear cause they probably thought I was some warrior or something, My luck. I talked to Alpha Luke and his Luna who had insisted on coming even though he said no like a billion times.I ate my gummy worms silently on the balcony. It's not like I was craving to eat the teeny tiny food they serve here which they apparently call a meal. I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Miss, if you are
I just had to survive one more hour of this bullshit. And my wonderful mate manages to make it even more awful. Maybe I should challenge him in a duel, if he wins I will be his mate but if I win, I become the king, queen whatever. I want his position, not by his side as HIS queen, this kingdom's queen. Let's see maybe I will challenge him.I didn't even bother trying to eat the bite-sized food they served, I talked to Alpha Luke most of the time. Discussing the territories, security, financial aid, and how some wolves have been going out and meeting humans. Our pack has managed to survive for a couple of generations without getting caught by humans, but that doesn't mean we never will.Of course, my ..old family was nowhere near related to our former Alpha and his family. But I managed to become a person who the former Alpha gave loans to, to a person who sends them money every 2 months.The former Alpha wanted to leave, I told them to stay. The su
"Alpha,it's already late. It is time for people to leave unless you want anyone to stay with you in the castle, then we can arrange a room "the butler basically murmured to me "No, no -Wait, yes I do want a person to stay with me in the castle, I am just gonna inform this person that she will have to stay with me "My mind went to the thought of Dawn sleeping in a bed, peacefully. Why I am so focused on her, I have been nothing but nice; she on the other hand has been nothing but a little bitch Why, was I being so paranoid. If she learns that I already decided that she would stay in the castle, she would probably want to knock my perfectly straight white teeth. I knew I would find her on the balcony, the whole time she s has been out. As I walked to the doors I heard her commanding stern voice,-..."No no NO!, I informed Silvia and Ashly before they left to bring my bike so I can go home, why are you all so irresponsible!!; she stopped for a second listened to
Dawn's POVI wanted to go to the mountains. Before, I went there to breathe. Now I all these years, my mind hasn't completely let go of whatever happened, but I am living with it. Going to the mountains help digest the truth every day. I didn't want Adam to take me home. I didn't want to go home, knowing that my sister won't be there and that I would be alone, the thought didn't scare me. But it reminded me of something, someone.Since Adam offered another spare room, I decided that it was better to have someone with me even if it is Adam. I needed to discuss a few things with him.Maybe ask him to hand over his position in exchange for money or candy. No that won't work. The car ride was so silent. I was sweating like a pig. Wait do pigs even sweat, either way, the atmosphere was tense.I got out of the luxurious Black Porsche Cayenne as soon as the car stopped. I wanted to drive it, but he wouldn't let me. So stingy. As I walked to the mountains, I real
Adam's POVI watched her eat; okay now it sounds creepy. She was a very quick eater, like me.I don't know why people wasted so much time on food. We had 2 rounds of beer, and from the looks of it she is not even a little tipsy, though we drank a lot of beer ,the glasses they gave us beer in was huge.I went to the washroom and came out 5 min later she was gone. I asked one of the bartenders where she had gone and apparently she had paid for our meals and went out.There she was leaning next to my car, I really wished she would put her hair down, I wanted to see how long it was; I was tempted to touch the crisps of fire. She wants to go somewhere else maybe, I am up for it. Anything is better than going back to that shitty useless Ball."I haven't let my wolf out, but since we have just eaten, after 30 min you wanna go for a run?", she requested; I remembered I haven't let my wolf out either. I was happy she didn't hate spending time with me.
Dawn's POV"Are we there yet?" I wanted to see this forest, it has animals. The Cloud mountains do have animals but so far I have seen, leopards, cats, elephants, and foxes. So in this forest, Adam told me that there are even tigers, monkeys, ducks, rabbits adorable little things. Sitara never let me keep an animal always playing the 'I am your older sister card'."For the 70th time no it will take about 10min more. You going to have to be patient or I throw you out of my car". So irritating, but I don't mind it. I got to know a lot about him. His favorite color is blue-grey, his favorite animal is a horse, he studied in North America, he has one sister she's 13 and when I asked about his family, he went silent;"It's been me and dad for a long time until my sister Emily came, she's adopted. But she is always gonna be my little sister "I didn't push him, if he wants to tell me, I will listen. So I talked about my self and the tension decreased.
Adam's POV I have been smiling for 8 min 29sec continuously according to the pretty girl next to me. She must be creeped out by the grin that hasn't left my face for a while now. She belonged in my arms, her cold skin, melted the burning anger in me. I was angry at myself, my mother, my father, and him. Why, why. What did I ever do to have lost the people I love. I didn't use violence to control my self. Well yet When her hands first touched my shoulders she was shaking, she seemed so afraid. Is she scared of me, I would never want that. She shouldn't be scared, I didn't want her to be uncomfortable with the position she was holding me, so I pulled her towards me, And that hair, that god damn hair. So beautiful, could see the moonlight hitting her red curls that caused it to burn brighter. It was so long and fire like, I loved it. We reached the forest about 3 min ago, currently, we are 10 feet away from each other so that we could change our clothes and let our wolves out. I quic
Dawn's POVI am in a huge room that thrice or more the size of my bedroom. After the incident me almost drowning then Adam ...saving me. I felt like a damsel in distress, I never let anyone help me, this time I was glad someone was next to me and even more glad that it was Adam. He bandaged me then took me to the infirmary, the doctor said that I will need to change the bandage other than that I am fine.I heard a soft knock on my door, "Come in".Adam came in, looking snazzy as always. He has QUESADILLAS!!"Hey I thought you'd be hungry, and you will have to eat before you take your medicine." I wasn't even looking at Adam, I was just looking at the beauty that held in his hands.""YES! please. Thank you" as soon as he brought the plate to me, I snatched it from him and started stuffing my face, I was on my third quesadilla when I saw his amused looking face staring at me, I was hungry, I almost died, like I am gonna care what he thinks, "Yo
