The New Alpha Stole My Heart

“Don’t come any closer!”

The alpha of our pack inched himself closer. He took off his shirt and began to howl like a rabid animal. Lust could be seen in his eyes as he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips in a circular and provocative motion.

I grimaced at the scene, utterly disgusted with his behavior. For a middle-aged man, the gesture was far from being hot. My mouth twitched as I took another step backward. It was a no-brainer to know what he was intending to do.

He wanted my body, that’s for sure. But I wouldn’t let his filthy hands touch my body. Not now, not ever.

“I am warning you! Don’t come any closer or else…”

“Or else what?” the alpha scoffed. “You will shout for help? Huh! As if somebody would come to rescue you. Have you forgotten? I am an alpha and my words are the truth in this place.

Terror crept into my system. The reality of how helpless my situation is was adding another layer of fear into my system. Do I really deserve this kind of treatment?

After my seventeenth birthday, I noticed that our alpha was constantly visiting Uncle Stan’s house. He began throwing me dirty stares and sometimes, I could sense that he was attempting to flirt with me. But instead of stepping into his boundaries, I found myself ignoring and avoiding him as much as I can. I couldn’t imagine being her lover for crying out loud!

Like every she-wolf who came of age, I longed to meet the man whom the goddess bestowed to be the other half of my soul. I am waiting for my mate to claim me as his. Never in my wildest dreams that I imagined being mated to a man that wasn’t destined for me. It was only my mate that I would offer my heart and body to.

So climbing to my alpha’s bed was never an option.

I stepped one of my feet backward, slightly bending my knees in the process. I balled my fists and held them up to cheek level. I know that I am no match for him when it comes to hand-to-hand combat but I got to try my luck. I’d rather die than allow him to taint me.

Before he could inch closer, I changed into my wolf form and sprinted. Yes, that was my plan. Running from him was the only chance I know in escaping his evil plans.

And so, I ran. I bolted toward the woods. I sprinted like my life depends on it. I dashed through the night wanting to get out of that place as soon as possible.

I felt that alpha, in his wolf form, had followed me. My heart beats louder. I got to run faster if I wanted to get out of this place unscathed.

I heard his terrifying howl, the one he was using whenever he was hunting for rogues. Right now, I was his prey. I was so stupid to let him bring me to the middle of the forest to check out something. My wolf Bella was already hinting to me that something was not right yet in the end, I let myself go with him still. If not for the fear that Uncle Stan would become the subject of his power-tripping, I wouldn’t give a damn. Whether I like it or not, he was our alpha and we should treat him with reverence no matter what.

I dashed into the woods as fast as I can in hope that the alpha would not be able to keep up. I jumped through the big boulders and hidden mazes. I needed him to lose my trail. I was desperate.

A few minutes had passed and his smell diminished until finally, it disappeared. It looked like I lost him. With that, I transformed back to my human form. I slowed my movement but remained vigilant of the surroundings. Big Mistake.

Out of nowhere, I felt a being jump at me making me roll violently on the ground. I saw the bald alpha laughing like a maniac as his skin brushed into mine. We were both naked, as the result of our previous shifting. When we stopped rolling, he was on top of me. His demonic desire to claim me intensified as I saw his eyes burn with lust. I am sure of it, this alpha was ready to claim my virginity by force.

He pinned both of my hands above my head using his right hand while the other was touching my face. I turned to my side, avoiding his filthy breath. He was literally drooling on top of me. I also felt his member was ready to penetrate me.

I looked up and silently uttered a prayer as I felt him kiss and sucked my neck. From there, I caught the sight of a familiar plant. I knew this type of plant, as Uncle Stan taught me, and Maggie about some herbs and medicines we could use in the wild.

It was a Nightcrawler, a leaf that could make you blind if it was put in the eyes. A plan brewed inside my mind.

With the last ounce of strength, I stretched my fingers and grabbed a handful of leaves. I squeezed it discreetly until both of my hands were covered by its juice. This plan has to work. If not, I should kiss my innocence goodbye.

“A-alpha, I surrender. Clearly, I am no match for your power and speed so I know that there was no way out of this situation. I don’t want my first to be rough so can we start over? I…I want to make the most out of this situation.”

The alpha suddenly stopped nibbling at my neck and looked at me. I tried meeting his gaze with a submissive stare. He smirked at my declaration.

“You should have done that a while ago so we no longer wasted time chasing each other. I told you, didn’t I? I will make sure you’ll enjoy every fucking second of me grinding on top of you.”

“I am a fool, alpha. So…will you allow me to touch you now?” I tried putting a bit of seduction into my words and judging by how he grinned, it looks like it worked.

I felt that his grasp was loosened, indicating that he was freeing my hands. When it finally did, he got up from my top and looked at me with anticipation. I took a deep breath and began to move my hands.

But instead of grabbing his manhood, I dug my Nightcrawler-stained thumb into his eyes, making sure that the sap would penetrate into his orbs.

“Waaahhh!!! My eyes!!! My eyes!!!!! You bitch! What did you fucking do to my eyes?!”

The alpha screamed in pain. He was swinging his head like crazy while covering his eyes like a creep. I saw blood streaming down his face. Looks like the Nightcrawler had taken its effect.

This was the chance I am waiting for.

I jumped, preparing myself to shift. When I landed on the ground, I already changed into my wolf form. I dashed into the forest, only this time, far from the place I used to call home. I guided my legs to the end of our border, intentionally wanting to step out of our territory.

What I did to the alpha was considered treason. As twisted as it sounds, any pain you inflict to the leader of the pack would mean death regardless of what your reason is. I felt that something blocked my throat remembering my Uncle Stan. I don’t want to leave him alone but the situation led me to this.

I don’t have a choice, do I?

Under the moonlight, I raced through the dark. I decided to dash south, as I know the trees would be denser in this part of our territory. Also, this was the part where the least of the trackers were assigned. This would be my best shot to get out of the pack’s territory completely.

I felt a cold brush of wind on my cheeks as I went deeper into the forest. I galloped as long as there was land to brush my feet into. I didn’t know how long I had to run so I kept going.

I already passed the boundary of our southern reach, making me aware that I had already reached a hostile territory. I remained vigilant of my surroundings. One mistake and I might lose my life.

I suddenly felt the dryness of my throat. It was only then that I realized that I needed to drink. I stopped running and tried to listen to the sounds surrounding me. My mouth grinned when I heard ripples of water from a nearby stream.

I rushed in the direction of the sound. It didn’t take long before I reached the stream. I leaned down and scooped water in my hand. The water was sweet and refreshing. My mind was celebrating this little comfort when suddenly, I felt another presence at my back.
