Sold to the Alpha

The Pack

'What do you mean you've married me off!' he roared, throwing his chair as he pounced to his feet, anger radiating off him in waves.  His father looked up unimpressed,  'I bought you a wife Aaron, yes, she will be here within the hour, as next in line to be Alpha you need a wife, you know this, and as you have refused to entertain any of the she-wolves in the pack I had to look elsewhere for a mate for you.'

Aaron stood in front of my father's desk, chest heaving, trying to reign in his anger before he shifted and disrespected the Alpha.  The young heir stared down at his father, eyes glowering as the Alpha carried on calmly writing at his desk, 'I won't love her father, I do not want her! I want nothing to do with some reject, so unworthy her own family sells her!'

His father looked up at his son sternly 'regardless, you will marry her Aaron, or are you refusing the follow the word of your Alpha?'  Aaron subconsciously stepped back from the table and lowered his eyes to the floor in submission 'of course, not Alpha' he muttered angrily.  'Good' replied his father gruffly before returning to his papers.

Taking this as his dismissal, Aaron stormed out of the office and down the stairs toward his room.  Once inside he roared with anger, rattling the windows with the sound before smashing his balled-up fists into the walls in frustration.

His bedroom door opened to reveal Justin, his best friend, and Beta.  'Not a good meeting then?' inquired Justin with half a grin as he plonked himself down into the chair by the desk that was still covered with the school work Aaron had been doing before being summoned to his father's office.  Aaron snarled and said 'he's only gone and f*****g got me a wife! some slag of a girl I've never even met!' he grabbed a book from the desk and threw it at the wall in temper.

Justin sighed 'he did warn you, Aaron, you are 22, you need to pick a mate, it is your duty as heir to the pack, he warned that if you didn't hurry up then he would choose for you!  The Alphas heir must have a Luna'  seeing that Aaron wasn't calming down he stood up 'come on' he cajoled, 'let's go for a run, clear your head and prepare you for the inevitable.'

Grudgingly Aaron nodded, letting his Wolf out and allowing him to run free would calm his human self down and clear his thoughts 

'Hopefully, I can try and remove myself from this f*****g awful situation before I am tied to the rejected bride for the rest of my f*****g life' he thought angrily.'

Once outside, Aaron stripped from his clothes and with a shimmer brought his wolf forward.  Tall, muscular with deep black fur, he was a striking symbol of his species and he knew it.  His piercing blue eyes had had every unattached She Wolf vie for his attention and the comfort of his bed since his 16th birthday but none had pulled forth the word of 'MATE', and nor did he want them too.  Aaron growled as he remembered that his bride would be arriving shortly, he turned, raised his head, and howled before setting off at speed into the surrounding forest with Justin at his heels.  Through the trees they ran, bounding over fallen logs and boulders that scattered the forest floor before slowing as they approached the cliff that signalled the edge of their boundary.

Looking over the edge they could see the narrow winding road that hugged the side of the cliff like a protective mothers arm which snaked its way from the distant village round to the entrance of the Silver Cross pack's land.  In the distance, they could hear the faint sound of a car engine getting louder as it followed the precarious road to pack territory.  Justin looked toward his future Alpha and nodded as if to say 'we need to go', before turning tail and running back into the trees toward the pack house.  Aaron sat for a few seconds longer until he could just make out the deep silver of the approaching car before following his Beta and racing back to meet the woman whose life he intended to make miserable until she was forced to leave him.
