Fated To A Dragon Alpha

Chapter 7: Face-to-face with Jupiter.

Monday, the seventeenth of July, through Wednesday, the nineteenth of July were the longest days I had ever experienced. The days were long because my eyes were on the clock, counting down.

On Thursday morning, I was ready to shift, but Juno was not. I became persuasive, but instead, she snarled and sauntered off to the back of my mind where I could no longer feel her. She is quite different from Xiane. With Xiane, all I needed was just to think about it and I would shift within twenty seconds.

At noon, Juno became active again and I knew it was time to leave.

"Are you ready?" She asked.

"Yes, but how are we going to see him when we get there?"

"Our scent will attract him," Juno responded.

"Alright, let's go then."

Slowly, I began to shift. I also noticed Xiane shifts faster than Juno.

Juno set up a howl and made straight for the exit. She jumped down the stairs hurriedly and headed towards the woods. Her speed is quite remarkable and her vision is brighter than Xiane's.

For a good four hours, we were sprinting in the woods. We stopped when we got to the boundary between the dragon pack and the riverside pack. Juno moved back a little as though she was contemplating the side we would take. She kicked up and headed towards the riverside pack.

Riverside pack is one of the most beautiful packs in Seavia. The pack which had attracted many tourists around the world was destroyed by Alpha Grenold when the Luna of the pack, who was also skilled in prophecy, prophesied that a time would come when the Moon Goddess would send some of her descendants to save the shifters from the claws of evil and immortal Alpha Grenold of the Crimson Moon Pack.

Alpha Grenold had more than a hundred witches that revealed hidden things to him. The witches quickly notify him about the prophecy released by the Luna of the riverside pack. Alpha Grenold took his army and attacked and destroyed the riverside pack. He killed the Alpha and took his pregnant Luna away. According to my mom, the Luna die a few weeks later due to starvation. She never delivered her pups.

The pack, which was attacked about a hundred years ago, lay in ruins. However, the beautiful arctic-blue river that surrounded it, and the beautiful stone castles and pack houses remained unchanged. The evergreen bridges looked as though they were just constructed a month ago.

We stood in front of one of the bridges. Juno lolled out her tongue and was breathing heavily as we stared at the stone houses that had been covered by tall trees. The buildings and bridges were neat as a result of the rain that fell a few days ago.

Ten minutes later, I saw a small wolf running down the hill. She had something in her mouth. At first, I thought she was carrying her pup until she was closer to me. What she had in her mouth was not a pup, but a small black bag. She dropped it on my feet and took off without saying anything to me. Slowly, I began to shift back to human form.

I picked the bag up and opened it. It was an expensive beach mat and a long cardigan cape. I guessed Jupiter knew we had arrived and sent the young she-wolf to deliver the cloth. I put on the long cardigan Cape, spread the beach mat, and sat in a half-lotus position, watching the sunset that tinged the river with pink.

A deep scent of jasmine and suede that filled the whole place made me feel like staying there forever. I felt charged and suddenly became sexually receptive. I kept breathing in as the fresh bouquet scent kept mesmerizing me. I felt my wolf frolicking and dancing around, wagging its tail, ready for mating when she knew the problem we were into.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Behind you," Juno said, and I quickly turned. I screamed and tried to jump into the river.

"Stop," I heard a familiar voice. Juno took over and stopped me. I began to turn my head slowly.

.

Alpha Grenold's wolf was believed to be the biggest wolf in Seavia. However, the dreadful beast in front of me was the biggest wolf I had ever seen. His eyes shone like fire. His demeanor was aggressively beckoning.

I had seen him before and that was why I tried to run away.

.

It was two days after my thirteenth birthday. The moon was full and bathed everywhere in silver light. I was alone in the woods crying as usual. Since my mom was taken away, I had been going there every full moon to cry to the Goddess. I believed that one day, the Moon Goddess would set the Luna of Mathilde pack free from the evil Alpha.

I was in the woods one fateful night and I heard a noise behind me. I turned my head and was terrified. The big black wolf stood there with its tongue lolled out.

I began to move backwards when he started moving towards me. He increased his step and I screamed and increased mine. I thought it was one of Alpha Grenold's army.

I hit my back on a tree and fell. The big black wolf pounced on me and buried his teeth below my abdomen. I passed out immediately.

I woke up a week later and felt like a different person. The once jovial Dahlia became a very mean girl. I found myself doing things I could not do before.

One morning, rogues attacked our pack. I looked through the window and saw the Beta and the Alpha fighting them. I wished I could shift and devour them all. I clenched my fists, hit them on my window sill, and cried my frustration out.

"Of course, you can!" A voice said in my head. It was a terrific experience because I haven't got my wolf yet.

"W…who are you?" I asked the voice I heard.

"I'm a wolf. You can call me anything you like," the wolf said. I don't care about her name. All I needed was to save my pack.

"C…can I shift?"

"Yes, if you can bear the pain."

I looked at the rogues that were fighting with the Beta and the Alpha and nodded quickly.

"I can bear the pain!" I said courageously, narrowing my eyes. "I can!" I yelled and began to shift slowly. Though it was very painful, no pain will ever measure up to the pain I felt the day the Luna of Mathilde Pack was abducted.

I ran out and members of our pack who were looking through their windows began to scream in fear. They thought I had come to attack them. I could hear them running helter-skelter. I could also hear the sound of tables and chairs falling.

I attacked the rogues and devoured three. The rest ran away and I ran after them. I caught one and devoured it. Their flesh and blood were scattered all over the place.

When I turned to run back to my room, Alpha Harold stopped me and began to ask me questions. I tried to talk, but I howled instead.

"Talk with your inner voice. I can hear you," he said, and I began to talk to him.

Slowly my pack members started to come out of their hideouts. None of them believed the big black wolf they were staring at was me.

My first shift was followed by a big party. All the pack members, including Jamal, my bodyguard, gathered in the pack's hall and celebrated with me.

Since then, I began to protect my pack. Even the day Alpha Grenold came with his armies, I devoured two of his armies. He was my target but he was immortal and stayed invisible each time I tried to attack him.

.

The dreadful beast that attacked me that day in the woods was the one I was staring at. I was afraid, but I courageously stood still. With my eyes on him, I began to lift the cardigan Cape I was putting on. I touched a mark I have below my abdomen. He looked at it and returned his gaze.

"You did this," I said politely.

"Yes," he responded and I narrowed my gaze, wondering why his voice sounded like Xiane's.

"Why?"

"It was an instruction from my master, approved by the Moon Goddess," he replied.

"Who are you and what is your name?" I asked.

"I'm Jupiter, the descendant of the Moon Goddess, but you named me Xiane."

"What!!!!" I shouted and threw myself at him. Juno howled and purred. Jupiter pinned me down, we snuggled together

and he began to lick my whole body. Juno was horny already and she kept growling. Jupiter continued purring and wagging his tail. He placed his head right on top of my neck. The exact place where I was marked.

"Come back to me," I said and sniffed his overwhelming jasmine and suede scent.

"I was given to him, but the moon Goddess sent me to help you when you were in distress," he said, and continued licking my ear and giving me tender bites.

"Xiane…" I halted when he began to shift.

Standing before me was a 6"4 tall man. His handsome face was kindled with a sort of passionate beauty. His boner was fully charged, throbbing and ready for action.
