Alpha's Beloved Luna

Chapter 5

Knowing it was impossible to hope for something so perfect I hobbled through the woods and thick snow, my form unstable as I looked into the distance in front of me through my wolfs eyes. It was so much clearer when I was in this form, everything looking so magical covered in snow. It was the kind of thing you expected to see on a Christmas card, not that I had gotten one before but I had seen one once when the holidays had come around and the pack had celebrated it without me.

So with that I tried to pick up my pace only for the strain to begin to show as I couldn’t help but slow down my already slow pace, the fact I knew I had already passed into another territory meaning at least I knew I would be in for a quick death. I had managed to travel a lot further then I had thought was possible in my state, going through our neighbouring packs before entering into a dangerous and unknown territory. Even knowing that though I didn’t stop nor did I head back the direction I came from, not that it would have been possible due to the fact I had already slowed down to a staggering walk as I continued to drag my paws through the snow as it blended in with my slow like fur.

It wasn’t until I heard the familiar sound of paws crunching through snow at an alarming pace that I knew I didn’t stand a chance against the approaching pack mates, in my state I couldn’t even fight against one let alone the sound of the three wolves who were quickly approaching with aggression in there steps.

Their growls rumbled through the woods as the sound seemed to rattle of the trees surrounding me, clearly intending to instil fear on any rogues which ran through the territory I now knew to be theirs. I suppose I was technically a rogue now, considering I didn’t belong to a pack due to leaving mine but I knew I wouldn’t have to worry much longer. I hoped they would make it quick and relatively painless when they took me down; it wasn’t like I was going to even try and go down with a fight. What was the point? I wanted to die. I wanted it to be over. So no, I would not be fighting back.

“Who are you and what are you doing here?” a harsh voice suddenly cut through the air as my ears twitched as they picked up the sound, the low tone of the boys voice for some reason caused my wolf to whimper at how he had spoken to us. It was confusing, why was she whimpering?

Slowly I backed myself towards a tree before I could help myself, my legs suddenly collapsing under me as I tried to get as far away from them as possible. For some reason, the thought alone of whoever the owner of that low and husky voice being the one to end me broke me in a way which had me whimpering. It wasn’t until I caught sight of him though that I was momentarily distracted by his looks, but even so I continued to try and move as far away from him as possible as two others still in wolf form stood behind him growling at me with vicious and dark stares.

He was tall I noticed, the fact he not only had a 8 pack but he practically extruded danger, power and authority meaning whoever this boy was it was clear he was an alpha. He like all werewolves was tanned deliciously, his hair pitch black and cropped short as it only slightly swept over his eyes. He was dressed in a simple pair of shorts, clearly just having phased as his previous cold gaze suddenly turned wide in surprise as he took a cautious step forward causing me to whimper loudly at the sudden movement. What was he doing? I didn’t like it!

“Hey, hey…I’m not going to hurt you, but I need you to phase back into your human form” he said soothing, his mood doing a completely 180 as even his pack mates seemed taken aback by his drastic change in attitude. What had just crossed his mind in the second he saw me that made his previous hard gaze soften into something close to…adoration? Hope? Love?

I shook my head, why the hell was he thinking things like that! What was wrong with him! I felt myself tremble, the cold finally catching up to my skinny and skeleton like form as I was literally shaking like a leaf as I pressed myself against the bark of the trunk. It was far from comfortable, but I couldn’t help but be flooded with fear as I felt a tugging in my chest which was scaring the hell out of me. Was it a heart attack?

“Look I’m sorry I shouted, but I need you to shift” he repeated; regret crossing his gaze only making me more confused. What the hell was going on in that head of his which was causing him to look so regretful about? Was he pi-polar? That thought only scared me more.

I continued to whimper and whine as I felt myself thump completely onto the ground, my eyes never leaving the wolves in front of me as I tried in vain to try and get up only for it to be a useless effort. There was no way I could move from where I was, and by the way the alphas eyes widened as he took me in it was clear he was only just taking in my state.
