Wanted

chapter two: mine

He was chanting Latin, his eyes closed as he was trying to concentrate on the spell. The grey, almost white, wolf growled walking closer to the Grace boy. He had to get this over with and find his sister. Sophia was alone running in the woods and she might have gotten lost. He still has hope that she made it to the Red Moon Pack.

Marcus has known for a while now that the Alpha King will want his sister. He knew that he would come for her but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

The wolf hit the ground whining as Marcus started chanting louder. But suddenly, a hand covered his mouth and the wolf run away to Zeus knows where. He tried to break free by punching the guy in the ribs which only caused him to chuckle.

Marcus grew frustrated and grabbed his arm before twisting it. "You like that?" he whispered in his ear before he pushed him away. The guy got up and sighed. "Look, dude, I am supposed to bring you and your sister to the King so, how about making this easy for both of us and come with me"

The Grace boy rolled his eyes before he chanted a spell and he was thrown away to a tree. He wasn't going to give his sister to anyone. She wasn't anyone's property. The man started shaking, his skin becoming red and he let out a loud snarl.

The sound of bones breaking filled Marcus' ears and he looked at the brown wolf in front of him. His eyes were yellow and he soon realized that he must be a pack warrior of the Black Moon Pack. Packs got their name after their Alpha's fur colour. The Chase family always has black fur while Alpha Matthew's family has red fur, making his pack the Red Moon Pack.

The wolf stalked up to Marcus and before he could do anything, it knocked him out cold.

Sophia had passed out the moment she heard the name of the pack. Her brother had told her that it was the Royal Pack and that its Alpha was cruel. The Alpha King, as he is called, is one of the cruellest Alpha's anyone has seen. He has no mercy for anyone that crosses his land and is uninvited or breaks one of the laws.

She has been scared of him since she heard the stories that he watched as his parents were killed and he killed the person who did it with no mercy.

She knew that she couldn't judge someone from stories but the man never left his Kingdom, unless something important happened and he needed to be present like the Mate Ball.

The Mate Ball is held at his castle every year. Sophia never attended one as she was running away from the witches but she wanted to know if she had a mate out there waiting for her. The Mate Ball is a ball held by the King where every creature known to the Gods can attend to find their mate or soul mate. The King hasn't found his Queen yet but he probably will soon. Every werewolf finds his mate after he or she passes the age of eighteen.

Witches don't have mates. Witches are Hecate's creatures, as the werewolves are Artemis', and she hasn't given them the ability to find their mates. Witches fall in love as humans do.

Angels, who happen to be Apollo's creatures, don't have mates but soul mates. Apollo has -as the myth says- cut their hearts and minds in half and would only be complete when they find the one. Cruel but that's how it works.

Vampires are Hade's creatures. Hades, the god of the Underworld, has given them mates, other halves are they're called.

Every species has its own King -King Caius of the Vampires, King Adam of the Witches and Warlocks and lastly King Edward of the Angels - but all of them bow down to the Alpha King. You're probably wondering why they are bowing down to a werewolf king. Well, werewolves are the larger species in numbers for a thousand years and all of them chose the Chase family to be the Alphas of every Kingdom.

But, there's also one more Kingdom; the human one. They are Zeus' creatures. The humans don't have mates or anything but they believe they have soul mates and that Zeus separated them a lot of years ago because he was afraid of their power as humans used to have four legs, four arms and two heads. They don't a King as there is only one village of humans, near the werewolves' territory. Poor humans are probably dead by now.

The Chase family has been the royal one since forever. Every single one of them - especially the Lunas - are the kindest people on the earth. Except the current Alpha King: Theodore Apollo Chase.

Sophia groaned as she held her head in her hands. She had a terrible headache. She slowly opened her eyes and noticed that she was lying down in a comfortable bed. She sighed in comfort before trying to get up but before she could even get out of the bed, a muscular arm laid her back down. She shivered at his touch before looking up, only to gasp at the person that was in front of her.

"You-You're the Al-alpha.." he didn't let her finish as he put the blanket over her small shivering body. She didn't realise she was cold until his warm hand grabbed her own.

"Shh, go back to sleep" he whispered, his voice husky but soft. Her eyes started to close but she tried her hardest to keep them open. He noticed that and shook his head.

"You're one stubborn woman. Go back to sleep love, I'll explain everything later" she shivered at the nickname as he rubbed his thumb over her knuckles and Sophia finally closed her eyes, letting sleep consume her.

But she still caught what he said before she fell completely asleep. He said one word that scared her to death and she knew that her life was about to change big time and for some reason, she wanted it to change.

"Mine."
