Against the Odds

Prolouge

The wind blew cold through the frosty night. The Alpha and his pack travel together as one. Their claws pound the ground in sync with each other. They move through the forest with ease despite the blanket of snow. The Alpha hears the cries of his love and pushes forward despite the burning pain in his lungs.

"Help! Please help me!" The woman cried, losing all hope salvation was coming. Chained by dark magic she could not escape to find her mate.

The alpha traced her scent to a large clearing in the thick forest. His mate lay captive to a witch of evil spirits. The packed rushed to reach the beloved Luna but had to let the alpha approach first.

"I see you've come to join us, Alpha." The witch spat her words like they were poison. "Sorry we had to meet like this...actually, I'm not sorry." The witch twisted her pink lips into a smirk.

The Alpha quickly shifted into his human form, "What do you want Cordelia?" The Alpha yelled. There was no time for pleasantries when his mate was in danger.

"You know what I want." The witch narrowed her eyes at the large Alpha male.

"I'm not playing your games Cordelia. Give me back my mate and no one gets hurt!" The Alpha clenched his fists tightly.

"I want control so I can kill every single one of you filthy mutts! You disgusting creatures deserve to die." The only reason he didn't rip Cordelia to bits right there was because she still held his mate hostage by magic that could only be undone by a witch.

"Let her go. You are outnumbered and we will kill you." The Alpha stated coldly. He stepped closer to his love. He yearned to feel the tingles formed at her touch, to breathe in her scent, to hold her in his arms safely. Sadly, they we're instead, in the middle of White Mountain forest during a harsh winter's night.

"It won't be that easy, Alpha." Cordelia waved her hands in fluid motions while chanting in a language unknown to the Alpha.

"Sit primum ergo dicendum quod, fiet sed somnium, quod vidi, ut faciam facti sunt visibilia demonstrantur." The young witched shouted the spell, letting the powerful energy flow through her body.

"What are you doing!" The Alpha questioned.

A forceful burst of light resonated throughout the clearing. The brightness stunned the pack of wolves and sent them to seek cover. The Alpha quickly stood up expecting to see his mate, but was horrified at the sight in front of him. The beloved Luna had disappeared with the evil witch. The Alpha fell to his knees and howled in pain. Agony was all the Alpha could feel. The mate bond connecting him and his love deteriorate with every passing second. Every fiber of his being felt as if it had died.

The Alpha vowed to never let another witch cross his path without deadly consequences.
