Alpha's Mate (second)

Episode-2

("Y/n Pov")

I sat there, staring out across
the large green meadow. It had been perfectly landscaped with many rows of different colored flowers
set on both sides of a swirling copper stone pathway leading toward a veranda to the left of the house.
There was nothing but an open field on the right 0reaching out toward a covered vegetable garden,
which seemed well taken care of, as if someone had poured their love into it. The garden had a large variety of different fruits and vegetables, each resting in
their perfectly manicured spaces.
I was sitting on a shaded porch attached to the back of the house upon a beautifully handcrafted iron bench that looked like it was made in the 1800s. The matching
table and chairs had been
gracefully arranged just right for sitting and communing.
I sat there, dreaming about when or better yet,
if I would find love and be
mated, even if it was not with my true mate.
Still unmated at 19, I had given up hope that this was a
possibility for me. In fact, I had found my mate when I turned 17, but he was in love with another.
When he found out I was his mate, his girlfriend of four years became jealous. She told him to reject me, or she would leave him forever.
Now, I know that is a harsh ultimatum for anyone to give another person, but she did it...and so he did it. When he rejected me, I felt as if my heart had been broken into a thousand pieces.
It felt as if my last breath had left my body when I heard those words:
"I, Jackson wang, reject you,
Y/N l/n, as my mate."
Being rejected by your mate is like dying a plethora of deaths at once and then doing it over and over again. Your head throbs from
the rush of thoughts that flood in it. Your chest pulses and pounds like you have been impaled by a million knives all at once. Your
breath is stolen from you during an exhale, never to return.
The bond you felt is broken, and these thousand deaths become your new reality. Even as the initial pain of the rejection fades, you
are left with an eternal mark.
There is a hole in your heart
where emptiness takes over,
dwelling where your love used to be, leaving you feeling like a black hole has inserted itself in your
chest. Never. To. Leave.
Being unmated at my age was not common, and it made my last home unbearable to live in. I was
taunted, and I suffered abuse from the pack. My previous Alpha, Mr. Kim , thought it would be best if I joined the nearby pack. He hoped I could start a new life.
Alpha Kim did not meet his own Luna until he was much older, and he said he could empathize with my pain, the pain of missing a crucial part of yourself.
Alpha kim made a deal with the neighboring pack. I would live there in exchange for peace, since there had been rumors of wolves
crossing over without permission, causing trouble.
This peace would allow for
protection and assistance from either pack if or should I say when rogues come through. They also agreed to release some prisoners who had been caught back to their respective packs to be dealt with.
I was nervous about going because the neighboring pack was the strongest pack in seoul, and they did not take kindly to outsiders.

Now, it wasn't uncommon for packs to trade pack members for prisoners and other things, but why me?
I was a nobody, not of royal blood, not a daughter of an Alpha or even a Beta.
Yet they agreed to trade me.
I was less than a nobody but just an orphan, Alpha Kim had found. I was lucky to even be considered an
omega at all.
I've been told I was found near by river as a rather small child, not old enough for my first shift, barely even able to crawl, let alone walk or run or defend myself. When his men found me, they wanted to kill me, thinking I was a human child who had wandered too far or had been abandoned in their territory, but the pack's Luna had said no. She gave me to a
she-wolf whose mate had died in battle before she could bear him a child.
As I sat on that bench at the back of the pack house, day-dreaming and waiting for the Alpha of the Graves pack to give me my place in
his pack, then suddenly a loud noise or should I
say 'a commotion' came from the other side of the house making me come back to reality. Well, it was more like a furious growl. I was not unaccustomed to growls, but this one shook the earth with its fierceness.
l'd never heard such authority and power before. Not even from Alpha Kim.
I actually thought we were
having an earthquake with the way everything started shaking and sputtering about. My heart skipped a beat while I gasped for air, not realizingI had been holding my breath.
I heard a man growl,

"I don't have time to deal with the likes of her! Just put her to work with the others. Everyone works in this pack,
and she's no exception. I don't care who she is."
"Yes, Alpha Jungkokk" I heard someone who I assumed was the pack Beta say in return.

The pack's Beta was Kim Taehyung.

He was maximum 1.79m and really well built with abs that went on for a mile, amber eyes, and shoulder-length brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. He had a roughness about his features, his face covered with neat stubble along his chiseled jawline.

He seemed nice enough, but I could tell he was all business and did exactly as he was told. Every last detail. Without reservations.
It made me wonder if, one time, he didn't and had felt Alpha Jungkook's wrath because of it.
Betas were the right hands of the Alphas. They were not only the second in command, but they also were one of the Alpha's generals.
Typically, they were best friends because they depended on each othei with their lives. This was going to be an interesting start to my
new life for sure.
"Goddess, help me" I sighed.

Hope you like it!✌
