Alpha Damien pov.

It's time to go, I mindlink the guys and they nod, letting me know that they understand.

Time to go home.

Keeping my senses open, I don't hear anyone around us. The pack is quiet, since it is morning. Everyone is asleep.

The guys follow me, and we head behind trees and shift into our wolves. My wolf stands proudly along with the other wolves.

Let's go baby! Alex shouts in my head as I give him control. I sit back and enjoy the run home.

Being an Alpha came with great responsibility. Sometimes it was hard, other times it was like eating a good piece of chocolate cake. Easy.

Running through the forest with a few of my pack members was nice. It was late in the morning for my pack, since it was 10am. We've been here since 4am. As an Alpha you have to protect your pack, whatever it takes, your pack comes first. I learnt that the hard way.

Alpha, what are we going to do with the information? Josh mindlinks me.

What we always do. Get rid of it, I reply back and from the corner of my eye I see his wolf nod to himself.

I have no interest in waking up at 4am to bring my pack out here into forest with me just to have a stroll. No. I was out here because some stupid fucker told me rogues were planning to attack my pack. Rather than letting them come to me, I went to them.

Seeing a rogue pack is a little strange around here. Some rogues have tried to be in packs and have Alphas but it's never worked. The loss of a mate, or being exiled from their Pack, makes them go crazy. So running a pack isn't going to be easy. It's why I got rid of them.

A few hours of playing was needed for my pack members.

While Liam took care of the Crystal Pack, I took care of this rogue problem. I knew Liam could take on Crystal Pack without my help. He did.

A few of my good rogue friends told me that Alpha Jack was planning to attack my pack. I laughed it off. It was ridiculous. That asshole couldn't even beat a child from my pack, let alone the whole pack. We were The Blood Moon Pack. Nobody got through the border without me knowing. Nobody left the border without me knowing. The Blood Moon Pack was the strongest pack around the world. A weak ass Alpha wasn't going to change that anytime soon.

Everyone has got their ranks. Honey, when are you coming home? I've got fooooood, Liam sings in my mind and I roll my eyes, showing him an image of my middle finger.

Suck on that, I reply back to him.

Gladly, he chuckles back, but on a serious note, when are you coming back home? I'm tired and I need to sleep, he asks again.

I'll be there in two hours, I reply back and run faster.

Let's go home.

****

I pull my shorts on, as I step into the Pack House.

Walk faster asshole, Alex mutters in my mind and I roll my eyes at him. He's been on edge ever since we stepped inside our territory.

I walk towards my office. The closer I get, the slower my steps are. This amazing beautiful smell hits me with one shot. I breathe in the lavender smell with a mixture of coconut. Jesus fucking Christ.

I look around to see where this smell is coming from when I feel it. The closer she gets, the faster my heart beats. Fucking pussy.

In front of me stands a fucking beautiful girl. Woman. Lady. She's a fucking lady. My eyes trail across her body slowly, taking in every inch. She's a hot lady. And she's all mine.

Mine! Alex growls in my mind and I push him to the back.

Her eyes are tightly closed and I notice she's holding a little boy's hand.

"Mate," I blurt out.

Her eyes open up quickly, and they stare at me. She's beautiful.

"Alpha," I hear someone say and I turn to look at them, blinking out of trance.

Natasha. An omega who makes the best chicken sandwich for me.

"Natasha, it's good to see you. Who is this?" I ask her, my eyes finding my mate again.

"This is Skylar. I was helping her find Liam," she explains and I nod.

"I'll take it from here. Why don't you take the little boy and give him some food. She'll be right back," I say, my eyes not moving from my mate.

"Of course Alpha," she replies back and holds the little boy's hand and walks away.

"Skylar," I test out her name. It sounds different. It sounds nice.

"Come with me," I say and open the door to my office. She was standing right outside it.

She steps inside and I close the door behind myself.

Hold her! Alex growls in my mind and I push him to the back of my mind.

I can't just randomly hold her. She'll freak out, I reply back, fighting for control from him. He's pushing himself forward and forward. It's usual really easy to get control from Alex because the little fucker listens to me. Now? There's no control. He's an Alpha and he gets what he wants.

I can feel my eyes changing to the shade black, Alex taking over. He walks towards Skylar, and spins her around, pulling her closer to him. He places his face in the crook of her neck and inhales deeply.

"Mine," he whispers against her.

We can feel her hands on my chest and she pushes us away.

Fuck sake, Alex mutters in my mind and steps back giving me control again. I let out a deep breath and open my eyes to look at Skylar.

She's beautiful.

Skylar pov

I was in big trouble. I wasn't supposed to find a mate, let alone an Alpha, when I wanted to leave this place. I thought I would never get a mate because of what I was. A weretiger. Yet here I stand in front of my mate. With an Alpha. A wolf. Not a tiger.

Mate! Mate! Kira exclaims in my head, happy. Of course she's going to be happy. Anyone in this world wants a mate.

The Alpha looks at me. He just stares. The Alpha. Nobody knows his real name other than he's the most feared Alpha in the world. He does look intimidating but there's this feeling I have in the back of my mind that he won't hurt me.

He runs a hand through his dark brown hair, his brown eyes glazing over. He's either mind linking someone or he's arguing with his wolf.

Ask his name! Kira says excitedly.

"What's your name?" I ask quietly. Maybe he's sensitive over his name since no one knows it.

"Cole. Cole Damien. It's a long story on why I have two first names," he says, his voice deep as he rolls his eyes.

Cole, Kira sighs dreamily.

"Take a seat," because we look like idiots standing in the middle of the office, he doesn't say.

I walk towards the sofa and sit down, and he follows behind me. He sits close to me, and I'm afraid he'll lean in to kiss me. His eyes wander around my lips and back to my eyes.

His eyes glaze over again, and I sit there looking like a lost chicken.

We're a tiger. A chicken, Kira scoffs and I roll my eyes mentally.

"What's your rank?" He asks all of a sudden. I turn to look at him again a little confused.

I'm new to this pack, that's why he's asking.

"Omega," I reply back and I notice him shift away a little. Barely noticeable if I wasn't paying attention closely.

He stands up, and runs a hand through his hair again, pulling on the ends a little. Frustrated.

"You haven't shifted, have you? I can't smell that you're a wolf," and you can't smell if I'm something different either because of Kira. She hides my different scent.

"No I haven't. Is that a problem?" I ask defensively.

Mates are supposed to want you no matter what. My mum was a late shifter and my dad still wanted her.

His eyes flicker from brown to black as he steps further away from me.

"Omegas are weak. I need a mate that's going to be a strong Luna and Omegas aren't strong. It's why they're at the bottom," He mutters.

Oh.

Show him. Show how strong we are! Kira prowls in my mind.

I can't. He's an Alpha.

"Leave!" He shouts all of a sudden. I flinch a little at the sound and I nod.

It's better this way. It's easier for me to run. No attachments left behind. I try to explain to Kira.

I walk towards the door slowly, my heart being ripped into shreds with every step.

He's an asshole. Kira mutters.

"You're an asshole," I tell Cole and walk out of the door. I hear a growl behind me and I ignore it, slamming the door behind me.

Are you okay? I ask Kira, knowing how much she wanted a mate.

For a few seconds she doesn't reply, I'm fine, she replies and I nod.

We're fine.
