Chapter 3 - The Threat

3240 Words
I stormed into my room and got a fright seeing someone standing by my window. “Goddess!” I stopped and Danna turned to face me. Danna is Bret’s twin sister. Because she is female, the Beta position goes to Bret, and when I started dating Bret, Danna, who hung out with them, eventually became my best friend. When I started getting more involved in the pack business, we grew apart, but my love for her has never changed. “Danna, what are you doing here!” She has a soft smile on her face. “I finished my shift at the medical center so I decided to come check in. It’s been a while”. I find myself once again in awe of Danna. She was the perfect woman according to Pack traditions. She had shoulder-length brown hair with brown eyes. A very gentle soul always wanting to help others. It made her perfect as a healer. “I’m sorry, it’s been crazy” we say the last word together, making me know I’ve used this line on her a lot. She giggles showing me she is not upset and just joking around making me run in for a hug. “You know what, its actually perfect that you are here” I say, pulling away from her but still holding her shoulders. “What is it this time” she asks, she knows me to well. “Well, if I leave here with you and drive with you to your house for everyone to see, no one will ask any questions and I can sneak out from there” I look at her hopeful “to do what?” she furrows her brow while asking. I considered telling her, but decided against it. She would c***k if Bret had to ask her. “I need an outfit… I paused. Pretending to be shy about what I am about to tell her. It is for my birthday, something that stands out and something sexy to match it for after the party…since it will be the night… Bret and I mate.” Danna turned red at my confession. “I am too shy to get these types of undergarments in town, since everyone knows everyone and is always knee deep in everyone’s business… I figured I would go to the next town down to get it to surprise Bret.” She raised her one hand to stop me. “I get it” she says and I stop. She has a big smile on her face and gabs me for a hug! I cannot believe we are going to be sisters!” she says in a higher than usual voice. “Spare me the details though, as much as I love you and my brother. The image of you two mating is the last thing I want in my mind” I giggle and cover my face in my hands. “So yes?” I asked, looking up from my hands. She nods yes and I turn and rush to get what I need. I grab a shoulder bag, money and a spare outfit. You never know. “I’m ready, let’s go.” I grabbed her hand and dragged her after me. I passed the kitchen and my mother was still there. “Going to Danna’s!” I shouted for her and everyone to hear her. She gave me an approving nod as I continued walking out. Bret should be busy with his dad and his Beta duties all day. I will run to Woodhill in my Wolf form. It's much faster than with a car and if I play it right, I can be back by dinner. Pulling into Danna’s driveway, I gave Danna a big hug and thanked her before jumping out. Once I reached the woods, I put my clothes in my bag and shift into my wolf. My wolf picked up my bag in her mouth and headed straight to Woodhill. My wolf goes by Ash. She is as white as my hair. She is different from the other wolves in our pack and I liked that she was different. Being the Alpha born separates you a lot from the rest of the she wolves and her being different made me feel less alone. The first time I shifted and everyone saw my wolf, Elliot’s Grandmother, one of the pack elders, came to see me. She told me that white wolves are the guardians of light. They are a sign of the blessed ones from the Goddess herself and that they are a symbol of faith, love and loyalty. She is one of our oldest wolves and does not always make much sense, so I shook it off as her referring to me being Alpha born and thanked her. I finally reached the edge of the woods by the human town, Woodhill. It's smaller than I remembered it. I work my way through the town after shifting back and getting dressed in my light blue dress again. My hair was hanging loose with waves created from my previous braid. Looking at all the run-down buildings, I feel anger boiling in me. Is this what towns turn into when the Aberrant Pack takes over? The only reason a pack would take over a human town is to gain territory. Humans are not allowed to know about our existence; they would not be able to run under pack laws since it is not always applicable to human laws. There is no other benefit to it, and looking at this town, there is no benefit to the humans either. I finally reached the main road. My plan I came up with so far is to see if I can follow one of the werewolves to the pack house to find the location and see if I can determine their numbers. Also, if possible, to see if I could gather information on this Alpha and his intentions here. I tried to sniff out some werewolves while walking into the town but got nothing. Strange, usually werewolves can easily point out other werewolves. I stop and close my eyes and focus on trying to pick up any sent. I finally get a faint sent of fresh water and chopped wood… It smells amazing and I wish I could follow it, it is definitely a werewolf, but its too faint to pinpoint where it is coming from. I decided to continue down the main road. Perhaps if I get closer, I will be able to pick up the sent better. I pass small boutiques and try to pick up a sent again, but nothing. There is a restaurant and a bar that’s coming up. If I know anything about werewolves, the bar is my best bet at finding a werewolf if there are even any wolves here. I'm starting to think they might not even be here or else I would have picked up their scents by now. I get to the bar and it's a real beat down dive bar. I am not dressed correctly for this place. My back up outfit I packed is a similar dress to the one I have on, so not having another option, I take my hands to crease down my dress and head inside. A man in a leather jacket and long gray hair tied up in a low ponytail immediately steps in front of me to block me. “Alpha Connor knows you are here?” My eyes stretched wide. He is not a werewolf; he has no scent. Which means he is a human and he should not know anything about Alphas. “She is with me” i hear a deep raspy voice behind me that pulls me from my thoughts, but before I can react, I feel an arm go around my back and a spark of electricity erupts when contact is made on my skin. I was hit by the fresh water and chopped wood scent again. So strong this time, that I almost struggled to catch a breath. “Mate!” I heard Ash in my head. I turned towards the voice and meet a pair of sharp blue, almost gray-colored eyes looking down at me. I could get lost in those eyes but I was way too curious to stop there. He had dark brown, black-looking hair with soft curls. It was shaved short on the sides and longer at the top but left to flow freely. He is wearing a black t-shirt and has tattoos coming from under the sleeve and running down to his wrist on one of his arms. His shirt is tight and I can see his muscles lined out underneath it. He is wearing tight black pants and when I saw his manhood bulging in his pants I immediately turned red and shot my eyes back up to be met with a smug grin on his face. He leans down towards me and I close my eyes, waiting for what is to come, when I hear “Like what you see”, so close to my ear i can feel his breath on me. It gave me a fright as this was not what I was expecting. What was I thinking he would kiss me and claim me right here? Would I have allowed it? “Let him”. I hear Ash in my head but I'm pulled from my thoughts when I feel him pushing me to move. He is pushing me towards the bar. “Mate, Mate”, I hear Ash in my head again. She is excited and loves his touch on us. I can feel her purring in my chest. “How can you be this excited?” I asked her. “Did you not see him?” Yes, he is the most attractive man I have ever seen and would never admit to anyone. “He had trouble written all over him. He is from a pack that abandoned our way of living.” I do not even know if she is paying attention to me, she is taking in every bit of contact she can get. “As Alpha born this is the last thing we need for our pack, a man from a pack that does not have our morals, our believes, our traditions. He will want to change everything in our pack. We can’t do that to our pack. We have a responsibility.” At this point I feel like im trying to convince myself, or its just because I am basically speaking to myself with Ash not paying attention. “What do you drink?” He interrupts my monolog with Ash. I look up and see him pointing to the selection of bottles on display. “uuum” I answer looking at all those bottles. I am not much of a drinker, so I do not really know what to order. “ Two beers“ he shouted at the bartender. I immediately looked at him shocked. Did I take too long to answer? Who does he think he is making decisions for me like that? What if I had allergies or if I had some kind of intolerance? “Do you see Ash, no consideration wat so ever” I try to point out any red flags I can possibly see to Ash. She is already love struck and I can’t have that. I saw a blond woman in short jeans, with legs for days, a button up shirt with her breasts almost falling out walking towards us with 2 beers. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at her. I’m sure she must be the town ride showing her t*ts like that. He picked up both bottles and handed me one immediately clicking our bottles. “Cheers” he says and takes a sip not even waiting for me to register what was happening. This man is infuriating, but I follow his lead. He is probably my best bet to get any information about this pack. I took a big sip, but spit it out before I could stop myself. “Ow my goddess! How do you drink that sh*t?” I grabbed a napkin to clean myself and moved the beer away from me. Looking up, he was just staring at me while sipping his beer, not even trying to help me. “Ash do you see this?” I try again. “What’s your name? He asked, taking another sip. “My name is Adeline, how about you?” I turned to try and get the bartenders' attention. I need water to wash away the horrible taste the beer left in my mouth. “Why are you here Adeline?” He almost sounded impatient. His question made me stop and turn back to him. “I’m here to shop, it's my birthday soon, and well I need some… stuff.” I know that sounded absolutely shaky and unsure. He leans in to whisper in my ear again and holds my shoulder, gently sending sparks at his touch. “ You're not a good liar“. His raspy voice, feeling his breath on my neck and the tingles from his touch are causing wetness between my legs. Ow goddess, I am weak! I crossed my legs immediately, trying to hide it. His grip on my arm tightened. “We should go” he said. Confused, I looked around trying to understand what was making him want to leave and I was shocked to see how many people had stopped what they were doing, and just staring at us. I have not picked up any other wolves, so these are humans interested in what is happening. None of this makes sense, but non the less, I need information. If that meant spending time with this mate to get that, then so be it, but I will not go home with nothing. “I’m fine right here” I try to look more comfortable than what I felt. He does not let go of the grip but leans in again to whisper. “I am sure your daddy would not be happy knowing his princess is at a bar drinking and cussing like a pirate.” He is staring deep into my eyes, if his grip was not starting to hurt on my shoulder, I would probably be swimming in those pools of gray blue eyes. “Daddy or mate?” That came out way to challenging. The words hardly left my mouth when he jerks me up and pulls me out of the bar. Is he angry? Embarrassed by me? What is his deal? I have a million questions as I try and figure out this man, but take this moment to once again point out to Ash how harshly we are being treated. I feel like a rag doll being pushed and pulled in any direction of his pleasure. Once we step outside, I am immediately pushed against the wall and caged in by him. He is breathing heavily with an intense look on his face. “So, it’s my mate that does not like his princess in a bar drinking and cussing like a pirate” I try to bring humor to the situation since it looks like he is struggling to keep himself together. Is it his anger or his wolf I question for myself? “His wolf” Ash answers again finally. “They want us” she adds with an excited town in her voice. “I love when you call me mate” He slams his lips against mine and his hands slide down, bringing our hips together. I gave him access to my mouth and deepened the kiss. Goddess, he tastes amazing! My hands automatically go into his hair. It’s when I feel him growing hard against me that I snap back into reality. I tilted my head down, separating our lips but still leaning our heads together. We stood like this for a minute, breathing rapidly. “I’m sorry” I said, only in a whisper. He chuckles, clearly reading the situation wrong. “don’t be” he responds and gives me another soft kiss. “When I smelled your arousal, I had to get you out of there before I take you in front of everyone.” His confession made me turn bright red. How does he speak so openly about stuff like that? It’s like it’s nothing for him. I turned my face to the side, looking towards the floor. I cannot be with this man. Judging from how he speaks about mating, I’m sure he has slept with all of his pack. Would the she wolves in my pack be next with him as an Alpha. Would this be the morals and values he approves within our pack? Everything about him is wrong. Nothing about us together is right. I feel a feeling of disappointment run over me. I have to reject him. “I can’t do this”. I clarified and tried to push him away. He looks at me confused. “What?” he asks. I can see he is trying to keep it together, but it feels like he will snap any second and it scares me. I clear my throat, “I can’t do this”, I repeat myself. “I am sorry, but I am promised to someone else”. I say that a bit louder this time. “What?” he growls. He grabs my chin and forces me to look him in his eyes. “What do you mean you are promised to someone else?" His confusion had changed into anger and I could see his eyes going back and forth between light and dark. He was fighting with his wolf and was talking so fast. I saw his canines starting to elongate. I am not sure if he will mark me by force, but I cannot take the chance. I rapidly lifted my knee, quickly knocking him between his legs, making him release his grip on me, and slouching forward, I turned and knocked his head with the back of my elbow. He is stumbling to stay on his feet, clearly caught off guard. Run! It’s all I can think of doing. I just rejected and assaulted a male wolf. I am not sticking around to find out what the consequences are. I run as fast as my human legs can carry me, I can shift as soon as I get to the woods. I look over my shoulder one last time before shifting and see he is not running after me. I should be happy but that feeling of disappointment rushed over me again. I shift mid run and Ash grabs my bag in her mouth. “Do you really think Mate would mark us by force” she sounds as unsure as I am. “I could not take the risk; we do not know what type of man or wolf he is, being Alpha born means the fate of our pack relies on our mate.” She knew I was right, but I could still feel her want to be with him.
