Chapter 2

"Excuse us Alpha, we were just finishing up, please carry on with your night and enjoy it." Mr. Angle is whimpering and smiling at this stranger as if he is scared of this man. 'There it is again 'Alpha' why are they calling each other alpha.' I thought to myself. "Do not tell me what to do Angle, I will rip you to pieces and for hurting your Luna you surely will die!" his voice so strong like no other can talk over him. "Pardon me Alpha but she is no Luna she is a mere human." Mr. Angle pleads while kneeling in front of this strange man, I tried to peak at him to see how he looks but as I lift my head to look past Mr. Angle, a sharp pain shoots through my back and I collapsed down to the floor again. "Luna!!" Another stranger shouts and rushes over to me and supports my body. My pain is causing me to lose my vision I can barely make out how he looks, before I see black and I feel my body go limp.

Alpha Shaw's POV

Today I had to go to the Moon light pack to check how their Alpha was running things as the Alpha King I was obliged to keep track of all the packs and their Alphas, it is my duty to ensure our secret from humanity remains intact. I have not visited the Moonlight pack in over 15 years, due to visiting 3 packs a year all over the world there was a large gap between my checkups on each pack. Almost every 5 months a new pack would be established not without my permission of course. With these visits I would hope to find my mate, a she-wolf that the moon goddess has blessed me with that would complete me in any way possible. A link that binds us so strong that we will be drawn to each other just by the scent only we would recognize from any other scents.

Finding your mate as an Alpha was crucial since you could only procreate with your mate, on our 18th birthday we would have our first shift which then will allow us to find our mates. Unfortunately, at the age of 23 years old I am yet to find her, the one I am meant to be with, my soul mate. I have been starting to give up and have thoughts that she might have died already and my reign would not be able to carry on and that would be a very big problem due to me being the Alpha king and once I die all the packs would have no leader to watch over them and then wars might break out between packs. Today I decided to arrive earlier than the rest of my people, I liked to have my run in the mornings just as the sun comes up and since the time they would have left, they would be on the road at that time and I just arrived intime for the sunrise.

I got out of my SUV and immediately got undressed to shift into my wolf, his name is Damon and he was strong and fearless, but he had a weakness he was longing for his mate just like I was. I let him take over while I just laid back in his thoughts as he ran through the woods when suddenly, he stopped he smelled her, I smelled her. She is here in the woods in the Moon light pack. I felt how his excitement rose as he followed the scent to a waterfall, I could not wait to see our mate, but as we closed in on the water her scent disappeared into thin air not leading anywhere further. I heard Damon whimpered in sadness as we trailed back to the packhouse the rest of my people had just arrived. Damon strode back to my SUV and I shifted back to my human form and got dressed. I felt the pain Damon had as he sulked in my head.

I walked up to the packhouse and as I entered the front door I smelled her again, Damon obviously purring and clawing at my mind to follow her scent, he wanted to take over and just run to her. But my thoughts got interrupted by a girl's voice, trying desperately to get my attention, wearing such provocative clothes, clearly trying to make a move on me. I figured she was roughly 18 years old. How absurd of her not caring about saving herself for her mate. I found it revolting, I ignored her and just walked past her smelling my mate's scent only in the kitchen area and dining area and upstairs nowhere else, I decide to go upstairs towards her scent. It led me to the attic, how strange I thought, why would my mate be in the attic. I went inside and found a stack of hay covered in her scent, clearly that is her bed. My anger rose as I looked around there was no windows; no cupboards, so where were her clothes, does she not own anything. I sat on her hay bed, deciding to wait for her when suddenly I heard ruckus down stairs. I followed my way back and her scent was getting stronger, when I got to the kitchen, I saw Alpha Angle through my mate across the room and I heard her spine crack and then he still demanded her to get up and he called her weak! How dare he speak to my mate like that, his Luna of all wolves. Damon and I were ready to kill this incompetent maniac and give his head on a silver platter to our mate, but as the king that would not be appropriate to do that in front of his pack. "Don't touch her, Alpha Angle!" I shout with a fuming rage boiling inside of me. "Excuse us Alpha, we were just finishing up, please carry on with your night and enjoy it." This idiot clearly needs to learn to obey his Kings demands. "Do not tell me what to do Angle, I will rip you to pieces and for hurting your Luna you surely will die!", now using my Alpha voice he cowers to his knees in front of me. "Pardon me Alpha but she is no Luna she is a mere human." I stare down to his cowering figure, my aura radiating power over him, he starts shivering with fear.

"Luna!!" I hear my Beta Owen shout and using his super speed to get to my mate as she collapsed on the floor and blacks out right after that. Damon is now clawing at me for allowing anyone touch our mate, as I looked at our mate so fragile; so malnourished and covered in bruises and her own blood. That site made me lose my control and I ripped Alpha Angle's head right of his shoulders. I heard screams coming from behind me, his daughter the whore from earlier and a younger one. I assumed it was his daughters and just like that Mrs. Angle runs in to the kitchen and finds herself stepping in her mate's blood. She collapsed on to the floor going in to shock. She begs me to tell her what made her mate deserve this fate. "He abused my mate!" I shout at her." He would never harm our Luna King Shaw!" she pleads. I stare at her like she is stupid, then I pointed at my poor mate in my Beta's hands. Her face turned blood red, she rose from her knees and aimed at my mate. "You whore, look what you have done to us, after all we have done for you."

She attempted to close the distance between her and my mate, then I grabbed her by her throat. "Watch your tongue she-wolf or you will have the same fate as your deceased mate."" She-wolf? How dare you call me that, I am the Luna of Moon light pack!", she scowls. "Not anymore you aren't, from now on you and your off springs are demoted to Omegas. I will announce the new Alpha in the morning."" Now Owen, get my mate to the pack Doctor and warm him if she does not survive, I will have his head." I ordered my Beta. "Yes, my King! "Owen jumps up with my mate in his hands and bolts out of the pack house. "Please my King don't condemn us, if we knew she was your mate we would not have treated her poorly, we thought she was only a human." The whore pleaded to me. "Even so what gave you the right to treat a human like this, like a slave. You should have known enslaving humans are forbidden, get out of my sight now!" I watched as the two girls picked up their mother and rushed out of the pack house, nowhere to go but seek shelter amongst their pack members. Let's hope for their sake they treated their pack with respect otherwise they will be kicked out and forced to become rogues and then all packs will hunt them down.

I ordered the rest of my people to clean up the mess and told my Gamma, Ronan, to look for the best candidates to become this packs new Alpha and if anyone of them is mated to this family they will automatically be disqualified. Ronan nodded, but hesitated to leave. "Yes, Ronan, what is on your mind?" I asked irritated. "Forgive me my Lord, but as your Gamma, my duties are to my Luna and I am worried about her, can Owen please take on this task so that I can stay with my Luna and protect her? "I see the worry in his eyes as he spoke, genuinely scared of my mate's fate. "Sure, Ronan, as my Gamma it is your duty to protect your Luna so I understand, I will tell Owen to swap places with you once I reach the pack Doctor, for now start assembling those candidates for me, please." His face started glowing as he smiled at my reply." Yes, of course my Lord, I will start at once." He turns on his heels and leaves the room. 'I want to meet our mate Shaw!' Damon nags on me. 'Yes, I want to as well, let us go.' I respond to him.
