The Alpha's Mate

Chapter 1

(Hi, this story has been gaining a lot of readers and attention and i'm so glad, but I wanted to let you all know I wrote this years ago when I was young but decided to upload what I had written to wattpad later on, it's not my best work (I can't even read some of it back without wanting to smash my head against a wall) and I apologise, it will be fully edited once I finish writing the story I am currently writing, but I hope you enjoy reading anyway and i'm sorry for anything cringey!)

My eyes shoot open in panic and I squint, trying to adjust to the blaring sunlight shining directly on my face.

I take in my surroundings but all I see is trees and trees for miles. The last thing I remember is sitting in my room, then my memories become hazy. 

Stumbling, I pull myself up and start walking straight ahead praying I find someone or something.

_____________________________________

I have been walking for hours, I have no idea how I got here but the sun is setting now and I still have no idea if my pack is anywhere nearby, I feel hopeless and I will die out here if I never find a way out.

Something rustles behind me and I spin around fast whilst holding my breath. In front of me stood a wolf, snarling and bearing its sharp, yellow teeth at me, saliva was dripping down his matted, rusty blonde fur. I sniffed the air. It was a rogue. Suddenly another 3 rogues appeared behind this one, all a similar colour with just a slight difference. They snapped, snarled and then crouched down ready to pounce and attack me.

"Run!" My wolf screams at me.
She doesn't have to tell me twice.

I sprint as fast as I possibly can when my exposed arms and legs start to throb as I run through thorn bushes, millions of little scratches cover my body as I keep running for my life, I don't know why I can't shift I tried earlier but all I felt was immense pain yet still, I stayed human.

Ahead I start to see a little bit of a building through some fog, the closer I get the more I can make it out... it's a pack house! I pick up my pace and keep sprinting no matter how exhausted I am. The only thing on my mind was survival.

Suddenly a loud howl followed by a few whimpers escape all 4 of the wolves. I come to a halt and cautiously turn around, I gasp, in front of me lies wolves with their throats ripped out and what shocks me even more is I only see 2 men in front of me. They stare hard at me and I cower feeling the Beta and Delta power radiating off of them.

"Who are you and why are you on our land?" The Beta growls, staring me up and down as if I was a murderer.

I freeze when I realise they're going to kill me for trespassing, my hands start to shake, my knees feel like jelly and I struggle to stay standing.

"He said who are you and why are you here!" The delta shouts angrily grabbing my throat, cutting off the airflow.

"E-Elizabeth and I did-dn't know I was on you-r land." I gasp out while clutching at his hands, silently begging him to let go.

He drops his hold on me, making me fall to the ground in a coughing fit. They look at me in disgust and the Beta throws me over his shoulder making me hiss in pain as pressure is applied to the cuts covering my body, which makes me wonder why I am not healing when it all rushes back to me.

Wolfsbane.

Wolfsbane. Down my throat. We were under attack by rogues and I was told to run. Most of my pack is dead. I release a choked sob as I think of my mother and father and how I didn't get to say goodbye. The men tell me to shut up but I can't bring myself to care about anything else.

My breathing quickens as my cries become louder, the reality sinking in, and everything I hear becomes muffled. Black dots fill my vision as I plummet away from the real world and into one of darkness.

These are some moodboards I made of Elizabeth and Xavier's characters, I did initially add them later in the book which you will see but I thought it would be best to add them in the first chapter. This is just how I picture the characters, I'm sorry if it's a bit stereotypical or you don't like it 💗
