Alexander Reed, Alpha of the Outlaw pack, which is the largest pack in the country, hesitated to grace the invite to the Glow Star pack for the ceremony of their new Alpha. However, Axel, his wolf was acting up and also pressuring Alexander to attend, he was never a fan of gatherings, especially the ones where inconsequential werewolves would attend and try to make small talk with him, he hated all of that.
At age twenty-five he still had not found his mate, and that stirred up rumors that the moon goddess did not bless him with a mate because of his cruel deeds.
Alexander arrived at the Glow Star pack with his Beta Shawn, they were immediately taken to their hotel rooms to rest as the party would begin later in the evening. For an unknown reason, Axel acted up, pacing back and forth in Alexander's head.
“Could you fucking stop it! You are going to cause me to have a headache with your actions.” Alexander growled at his wolf, who growled back at him, Axel is a strong and powerful wolf, the moon goddess did not make a mistake pairing these two up as their personality was matched. Arrogant, stubborn, and possessive was a better description of Alexander and his wolf.
The party began and Alexander and his Beta drove to the Glow Star pack house where the party was being held, just as he had visualized, these unworthy werewolves surrounding him trying to make small talk about doing business with his pack. He knew their intention was not pure at all, they were solely pretending to feign love for him to have connections with Outlaw. When in reality they all feared and despised him, not like he fucking cared.
The party was boring and after the swearing-in of the new Alpha and Luna, Alexander decided to adhere to his wolf's plead to leave the room. However, as he walked out, a petite structure stood in front blocking his way, Alexander furrowed his brow at her audacity,
“Who the fuck are you to block my path.” He speaks up in a rough, angry voice, his hands in his pocket as he sizes up the girl in front of him.
“Alex, are you leaving already? I mean the party has only just started.”
Alex creased his brow deeper this time watching, he smirked evilly at the nerve she had to stop him.
“I know you do not recognize me yet, My name is Zara, and I am your future mate,” she spoke without fear,
Alexander had no expression this time on his face, A few people had begun to notice, but he merely pushed past her; however, Zara was extra daring enough to hold his arm stopping him from walking away.
At that moment Alexander's hand quickly found her neck, and he wrapped his fingers around her throat in a tight grip,
“How dare you touch me!” his voice boomed in the room, earning the attention of everyone.
Zara's survival instinct kicked in as she tried her best to claw his hand off, but his grip was tight, “I do not want to ever see your face again, and it is Alpha Alexander Bitch!”
He flung her body like she weighed nothing, and her body hit the ground with a loud thud making everyone gasp, Alexander turned on his heel and walked out of that suffocating space, with his Beta behind him.
“How dare that fucking tramp touch me,” he was pissed,
“Alpha should we head back to the hotel room?” Shawn asks,
“You can head back Shawn, I'll return soon,”
Alexander wanted nothing more than to leave right now, nevertheless, his wolf Axel wanted him to walk around for a while, he brought out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took a stick, and lit it. Alexander was standing by his car smoking when a man walked toward him, “Alpha Zach has invited you to come in for snacks Alpha,”
“Go tell your Alpha I declined his offer,” Alexander says without hesitation, The man nods his head in fear and quickly runs away, making Alexander smirk.
“Can we stroll in the woods out back,” Axel asks,
“ What the hell is wrong, you have been acting strange since we got here, and your actions are beginning to piss me off,”
“Do it, Alex I promise we'll both be glad you did,”
Hesitantly Alexander sauntered forward into the woods, his eyes scanning the area as he moved further, After walking for ten minutes his nose caught a whiff of something sweet and intoxicating, he stilled in his tracks, trying to decipher what was going on. The scent hit him again, this time hard, and his eyes immediately turned to the color of his wolf,
“Mate! Mate!” Axel wailed, pacing and jumping in Alexander’s head,
Alex glanced around for who had this scent that called unto him, It felt like home and there was no place he would rather be than in the arms of this person,
Just then a small figure stepped out from behind the trees, It was dark, and he could not see her clearly until she moved closer under the moonlight.
His eyes trailed over her body and for a moment he noticed she bent her head in shame, she was covered in rags as clothing, her face so beautiful with long brunette hair. Alex stared into those dark hazel eyes that showed fear and anticipation.
He brought her back to his hotel room, and after hearing her name and age he was pleased, the bond called unto her.
Alexander and his wolf wanted nothing more than to mate and mark her right there, however after capturing the sight of the number of scars on her body, he halted in his actions.
Axel growled at the blotches that marred her skin, “Who on earth did this our mate?!”
“Relax I know it hurts you to see her this way, it hurts me too, but we have to mind our words and actions in her presence, so we do not scare or hurt her,” Alex explained even though he wanted to make everyone involved in hurting his mate pay.
The entire night Abigail slept without blinking her eyes for once, Alex simply kept an eye on her throughout, he wrapped his hands around her taking in her beauty.
Alex had to meet with his long-time friend who also attended the function last night, they had Important business to discuss, so he left with his Beta as early as five that morning, leaving Abigail alone.
“This is the most fruitful party we have attended all over the years, Xander, I can't believe you found your mate and our future Luna here in the Glow Star pack.” Shawn declares, with a wide smile on his face, as they drive to the location of the meet-up.
Alexander smirked at his Beta's words, who was also his best friend. “Now I believe that miracles do happen, Shawn,”
The meeting lasted for five hours, Alexander had his phone off throughout the meeting including Shawn, avoiding any form of distraction. Alex disliked any type of nuisance during important meetings like this one.
Subsequently, the meeting finally came to an end, however, Shawn cursed the moment he turned on his phone, making Alex turn to his Beta with a questioning look, “What is it?”
“I just received a message from the hotel, Luna is nowhere to be found,” Those words left Shawn’s mouth and immediately a deep growl coursed through Alexander's lip.
“What the fuck did you just say?”
“Alpha I'm sorry, but she was not in the suite when breakfast was to be served to her, according to the text, the entire room was empty,”
“Fuck! Drive now go! I can not lose her when I merely just found her,”
They arrived at the hotel and an angry Alexander stormed the room, Her scent was still there but faint indicating it had been a while since she left, he growled angrily his wolf trying to claw its way to the surface.
It was hard to get a hold of her as the only information he knew about her was just her name and age.
“Call Zach fucking call him right now!”
The Glow Star despite the loss they had years back due to the attack was still one of the largest packs in the country, Alex pondered on how to find his mate, It was over three hours and there was still no sign of her.
The Beta of Glow Star arrived at the hotel and the words leaving his mouth pissed Alexander off, “Maybe she went home to inform her family, I believe she will return,”
“I want to speak with the Alpha, not you.” Shawn spoke with irritation, he too was pissed,
“The Alpha is busy at the moment that is why I was sent instead,”
“Shut the fuck up, I do not care what he is busy with, Glow Star must provide my mate in the next hour, or get ready to face my wrath!” Alexander declared, his words sufficed with power.
