Alpha Ash's POV

"Dear moon goddess. I have never felt so out of control. It started last night. All my wolf wanted to do was run and kill Paul... I literally wanted to rip his throat out." Remembering I was alone and talking to myself, I started to think what I wanted her to know in case someone heard me. 'I mean, I usually want to strangle him but this time I wanted to rip is throat out for no apparent reason.' I stare at some pack documents trying to ignore my grumpy wolf.

Thinking of him, I mind linked Paul: 'Did you tell that Midnight Sky Pack girl yet?' Thinking of how he was promised a strong Alpha daughter to marry and laughing at how he had described the shaking child left at his door!

'I did yeah, she didn't take it too well' he responds a minute later.

I sigh but we have no room in this pack for weaklings, just then Paul comes into the house. I make the mistake of taking a deep breath just as he walks in, and the intoxicating smell of cinnamon and apples fills my senses, and my wolf takes over. "WHERE IS SHE!" My wolf screams through me. I try to hold him back, but he runs and pins Paul to the wall.

"Who-o?" Paul asks trying to shove me back, but I am too strong.

"I can smell her on you, she's mine so where is she?"

"I don't know what you're talking about" he claims, "the only female I've been around is the girl promised to marry me.... the one who you are sending away" he muttered the last bit.

"NO WE AREN'T, SHE'S MINE" I roar into his face. "Don't make me ask again... where is she?!?!"

"Myy Placccceeee." He whimpers.

I growl again. "You've better not of fucking touched her." I yell letting him go. He falls to the floor clutching his throat.

'Why do I suddenly care for this girl?' I scream at my wolf. He says one word... 'mate' and forces us to shift. We tear off through the woods to Paul's cabin. My wolf takes a deep breath. The most intoxicating smell ever is in the air only making him growl harder. He knocks down the door and he let me shift back. I run through the house looking for her. For some reason I feel like she's in danger. Finally, I see her on the couch.... her face is as white as a sheet and in her hand is a bottle of pills.

I run over and snatch them out of her hand, but I see it is too late. I look at her face and I can't believe that in front of me is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. My wolf howls in my head for me to snap out of it, he screams at me 'She's an Alpha and my mate and she's dying'.

"Oh my god." Fear starts to sink into me. I grab her off the couch and sprint out of the house. My wolf is trying not to jump out and go kill someone. 'WHO DID THIS?' I shout through the mind link but am met with silence, I know she did this herself, but I still feel the need to blame someone. I growl and look down. Her face is as white as a sheet. I don't even realize I'm crying until I get to the doctors. "Help her!" I sob, laying her on the nearest bed. The doctors look frozen for a second, probably shocked at my state. Crying is a foreign feeling to me. I've never cried. Never felt weak and helpless like I do now. I stare at her pale unmoving body... A few minutes later Paul runs in. I can just make out the faint bruise marks on his neck from where I choked him. Suddenly all the weakness is replaced by fury.

"What happened." I growl running and slamming him into the wall.

"I just left her for like five minutes!" He stutters. I groan and release him.

"This isn't how it's supposed to happen." I mumble and run my fingers through my hair. "She's a weakling, not a Luna."

"I know, it doesn't make sense." Paul says staring at me. I sigh again and sit down. I was the strongest Alpha in the country, my mate was supposed to be a legend, a powerful she wolf... the perfect Luna. What I just held; she was far from that. "This is some mistake." I growl. "I don't even smell her wolf."

"I know boss, she doesn't have one, her father convinced me she could still bare strong pups because of her Alpha title but she turned up like this." Paul frowns. "She's so weak." I put my face in my hands and let out a groan...This is a disaster.

I hear some screaming from the other room and immediately bolt in. My wolf takes over because the scream, was hers. "She's shifting Alpha!" Yells one of the nurses, I frown and push past her. Two doctors are holding her down but she's writhing around, and patches of white fur are sticking out of her skin.

"Help her!" I shout.

"We can't, she's in a very fragile state." The nurse says.

"I'm. Not. Asking." I growl. The nurses' eyes widen, she immediately plunges a syringe into my mate's arm.

"She's running a high fever, anything we give her will burn off." Says the doctor.

"What about all the pills she took?" I ask.

"Yes Alpha, those too." He says.

"Good." Without asking I run and grab her. Spinning around I run out of the hospital.

I can hear her frantic heartbeat as I lay her in the backseat of my car. I place her gently down and run around the car to the driver door. Just as I start the car someone gets in next to me. "What the hell man?" I say glaring over at Paul.

"What do you mean? You're the one who just kidnapped a girl from the hospital. Oh and I don't know didn't the doctors mention... SHE'S SHIFTING?" He yells throwing his hands in the air. I glare and speed out of my garage.

"I need to take her to Prince." I growl stepping on the gas pedal and screeching out of my driveway.

"Are you serious?" Paul yells. "The crazy wolf man? Why?" I sigh, why did he have to follow me?

"What do you know about Maya?" I say keeping my eyes on the road.

"She's a legendary she-wolf. Why?" He says in a confused tone. I jam my finger in the direction of the back seat. Paul spins around in his seat and looks back at my mate. "Are you fucking serious?" He yells.

"Yes. She's Maya."

"Whoa, does that make you...?"

"Yes." I say quickly. "I'm Victor."

"I'm your beta! Don't you think it would be beneficial if you told me that you're an ancient legendary super-wolf?" He yells. I growl again.

"It's none of your business. My wolf is Victor. Her wolf is Maya." I explain just as I swerve off onto a side road.

"Dude, I thought they weren't real."

"I'm fucking real." I yell slamming my hands on the steering wheel. Red dots start to cloud my vision. I should have made Paul stay behind. "I have to take her to Prince because I don't know if her body will except Maya at her age. It could kill her." I choke a little at the last part. I can't lose my mate. Even if it means giving up her powerful wolf. "I'm going to ask Prince to take her wolf from her." I say just before someone breaks my neck.
