Lustful Desires: Battle For Alpha

Sarah's viewpoint.

The bus came to a halt, and the doors opened, allowing the passengers to exit. As I got out of it, my eyes instantly examined my new surroundings.

The town is small, and everyone goes about their business and does their work conscientiously.

"This is just what I need," I thought.

I clutched the bag in my left hand and continued walking further into the town. I tried to speak with several folks, but they regarded me like a ghost.

"What is happening?" I pausd to attempt to grasp the situation.

"Are you lost or in need of something?" I heard a taunting question.

I did not realize he was talking to me until he stroked my shoulders tenderly.

"Pardon me, young lady. Are you searching for something?"

His husky voice penetrated my mind.

"Yes. I'm new here, and everyone seems to be treating me as if I do not exist."

"I'm sorry you had to go through that." He chuckled, which irritated me.

He was aware of it.

"Oh, I apologize. I did not want to create a comedy out of this. I was only trying to emphasize that this is how things are done around here. You should meet the leaders, not us."

"So, who is the leader?" I asked, crossing my arms on my chest.

"She is known as Elise."

"Could you lead me to her?"

"I will only do that if you ask nicely." He scoffed casually.

I rolled my eyes as I scowled at him.

"Fine." I lifted my hands in submission. "Would you kindly take me to Mrs. Elise?" I sassed up.

"Sure! With complete delight." He smiled as he answered.

He took the lead as I went closer behind him, admiring each stride he made.

"He must be a nice person." I spoke quietly to me.

After a few minutes of walking, we arrived at a run-down-looking apartment.

I believed I would be able to deal better once inside, but it was worse. The odor emanating from the house makes me quite nauseous, and I could scarcely tolerate it.

"When will she be here?" I whispered to the man after we had sat down for about five minutes.

"I am confident she will be here shortly." He muttered something, and I nodded.

I had great expectations that Mrs. Elise would be a youthful woman, maybe in her late forties. My expectations were dashed when Mrs. Elise came out of her chamber.

She is a crazy ancient woman, perhaps a great grandma.

She sat opposite us and gazed at me in bewilderment.

"She is the one!" She muttered.

I looked at the man next me, puzzled, and shrugged, "What is going on? What is she saying?"

"What brings you here?" She inquired prior to the man's response.

"I'm new in town, and I was expecting to settle down somewhere nicer than where I came from. But this is definitely not the place for me. I would prefer to take my leave immediately."

I grabbed my luggage and prepared to go, but her next words had me captivated.

"Are you not bored of living as a werewolf who is masquerading as a human?"

I was astonished she knew I am a werewolf, because I had never informed anyone. I inclined my head in an idea of responding to her, but after reconsidering, I elected to ignore her and proceed to leave.

"You have been selected to lead these people; would you just disregard them? For what? Your own self-interest?"

"I am not selfish!" I snapped, turning to face her.

"you have no clue what u have been through, or what I had to go through to get where I am now. You do not have the right to judge me." I remarked, half-yelling in an emotionally injured tone.

She rose up and moved over to me, placing heels hand softly on my shoulder and giving it a nice, comforting squeeze while staring deep into my eyes.

"I understand it was not easy, but do you want every single soul to suffer through it because you did? What would that imply about you? How would you if that happened? A champ?" She attempted to persuade me to lead the Pack, but I was not buying, not even for a cent.

"No, Mrs. Elise." I shoved her hand off my shoulder. "I came here to have peace, probably feel among with the rest of my kind. Not to lead a pack I know nothing about." I continued and made to leave.

I was close to grabbing the knob when Alex sprinted after me and held my had.

"Not to intrude in your personal life but this people have been expecting you for a long time. Are you going to let them down? Just like that?"

"I'm sorry........" It was at that point I realized that I didn't even know his name.

"Alexander. You can call me Alex." He helped me out.

"Sure." I nodded slightly but confidently. "I'm sorry, Alex but I'm not the kind of person you all think I am. I'm not up to the task and I'm sure I had been mistaken for someone else. Very soon, I know the real one who is to lead you would come and you all will have a happy ending." I paused to take a breath.

"If there's nothing more you two have to say, I would ask you excuse myself."

With this, I made my way out of the house. With angry thuds on the ground as I walked.

"What nonsense? Has a female ever become an Alpha?" I thought.

"Yes, you can be an Alpha as a female. You have been chosen by the Moon Goddess and there's nothing anyone can do to change that." Alex said as though he heard the question in my head.

I looked back at him and rolled my eyes as I began to walk faster.

"Hey!" He called after me.

With a sharp turn, I looked back at him.

"It's Sarah." I snapped, furiously.

"Fine, Sarah." I gripped my wrist and pulled me closer to him.

"I'm here to talk you into becoming the Alpha. You're obviously stranded and need a place to sleep. Mind if I help you?"

"No, thanks." I sassed and wriggled my wrist out of his grip. "I would rather sleep on the street than sleep with a strange stranger like you." I sassed further and he burst into a loud laugh.

"What's funny?" My brow curved in confusion.

"I'm not going to ask you to sleep with me. Who wants to sleep with a proud and sassy girl like you?" He pouted his lips; it was the worst one I've ever seen.

"Really?" I scoffed in disbelief as I glared at him from head to toe.

However, he ignored me and continued.

"There's this woman I know who would be more than glad to take you in."

"Where is she?" A pinch of proud contorted in my quest.

"I could only take you there if you ask politely." He cornered me and this made me more furious.

But I'm the one who's in need, I have to calm down with him until I get what I want. "Okay. May you please take me to her, Alex?" I asked politely but the expression didn't last as it was followed by a grin.

"It's getting dark. We'll get to her place soon if we leave now." He said with his head high up and he led the way.

I demonstrated to kick his gut but he looked back at me almost immediately; I was lucky not to get caught. And I forced a smile, followed him.

As we walked through the dark part of the woods, the clouds kept getting darker.

"Don't you think we need to walk faster? This is kind of creepy." I said with trembling lips. He was about to give me a reply when we heard a loud roar. It seemed there was someone lurking in the woods but it didn't sound more like a werewolf.

"What is that?"
