Chapter 19


    Alpha Zenith


    ‘The moment I see Alyssa, my heart races. I watch her for a while and notice she doesn’t seem sad or


    depressed. Not the way I have been, every moment I’ve been away from her. Sheughs and dances


    with everyone, she even clings to her Dad’s arm, kissing him on his cheek. I don’t understand. Why


    isn’t she upset or angry at him? Why does she look so happy? | thought there had to be a good


    exnation.’


    ‘Alyssa walks over to the food table, plucks some grapes and strawberries from a fruit bowl, and eats


    them. ‘Alyssa’, I whisper. She stops herself from reaching for another


    strawberry and looks around. ‘Alyssa’, I whisper again.


    ‘She looks around to see me hiding in the garden. Her lips part as she lets out a small gasp. She is


    shocked to see me. She scans her surroundings to see if anyone is watching her, then looks back at


    me. I gesture for her to walk over to me. She is very hesitant and is debating whether or not to


    approach me.’


    ‘She bites her lip and gives me a small nod to say she wille to me. Then, she looks around again


    and discreetly leaves the hall. My warriors watch me from their hiding spots, waiting for the signal to


    shut and seal the doors to set the hall alight:


    “As soon as Alyssa approaches, I pull her into my chest and


    hold her tight. Although I can’t feel the sparks or the bond because of the rejection, I don’t mind. The


    Moon Goddess gave her to me, and I knew I would always love her, no matter what.


    ‘Zenith, what are you doing here?’ She asks, pushing me away.


    I’m here to save you. I will take you away from here to be my mate and my Luna.’ I smile. Alyssa takes


    a step back.


    “Zenith… I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to tell you… she says with sadness.’


    ‘You don’t have to thank me, Alyssa. We can be together! Your father can never stop us this way, I say,


    smiling down at her. She looks at me, confused. ‘Zenith, I rejected you. We can’t be together. I need


    you to understand that. I’m to be mated with Alpha Axton from the Justice pack in a few days,’ she


    says. Angry at her words, I let out a growl. ‘No, mate of mine will be mated to another wolf.’ My wolf is


    angry and is trying to shift. My eyes are ck from her words.’


    ‘Zenith, we no longer have the bond. It would be best if you moved on for your family’s sake and your


    sake. I like Alpha Axton. My father thinks they will be the next strongest pack. My family wants me to be


    with him. I also want to be with Alpha Axton, she says.’


    ‘No!’I say firmly. Alyssa flinches and stares into my wolf’s eyes. She steps backwards, and her eyes


    water. I can sense


    she is about to run. I signal the warriors to shut and seal the doors. But before she can run, I throw her


    over my shoulder. ‘You’reing home with me where you belong!’ I say. Screams erupt from the hall.


    Pack members bang on the doors in need of escape.’


    ‘Alyssa screams in horror when she realises what I’m doing. She kicks and punches with all her might


    until I drop her to the ground. She tries to run to the hall to open the door to free everyone. Grabbing


    her again, I hold her tightly in my arms. I sit a distance away from the hall, but close enough to feel the


    heat radiating from the mes. I hold her in myp and stroke her hair. She cries and screams. I tell her


    we can be together, and I’ll make a new hall for her at Shady Crest.’


    ‘The screams stop, and the hall copses-smoke billows around us. My father approaches, smiles, and


    looks down at Alyssa, who is distressed. ‘Wee to the family, sweetheart, Dad says. Alyssa spits at


    him. He ps her across the face. I let go of Alyssa and stand. ‘Never p my mate!’ I yell at him. He


    smirks and looks past my shoulder. Alyssa stands there shaking in anger. ‘You! You killed my father!’


    She screams, ‘You murdered my entire pack!


    ‘She punches my chest over and over in anger. ‘I hate you!! hate you! I hate you! She screams. ‘My


    father was only trying to protect me from men like your father!’ She yells. I’m not like my father, I say, in


    shock.’


    ‘You just let my father and an innocent pack burn! Children!


    Mothers! Fathers! Brothers! Sisters! You murdered them all! You are worse than your father! She


    screams. My heart sinks at the truth in her words.’


    ‘Alyssa. It’s not meant to be like this,’ I say. ‘I will never be your mate, Zenith. Not now, never. You’ve


    murdered my family and my pack! I’m leaving, and I’m going to be with Alpha Axton, She yells, crying.


    ‘She shifts into her wolf and runs to the woods. Her wolf is enormous, with pure white, long fur. Almost


    the size of an Alpha wolf. Moonstone Crest is the only pack with pure white wolves. They’re


    descendants of the Moon Goddess.


    I’m angry, and I chase after her. I will find you, Alyssa, and you will be my mate! Or you can choose to


    die!’ I yell before shifting into my wolf. Her wolf is faster than mine. I can’t catch her. I let out a long,


    loud, heartbroken howl and returned to the warriors and to my father, who I’m furious with. It was his


    idea to kill the entire pack. I should not have listened to him. My Dadughs. I’m growling and snapping


    at him.


    ‘Wanting justice, I challenge him. The warriors’ gasp, knowing a challenge is a fight to the death. My


    Dad epts the challenge and shifts into his wolf. Being Alpha, he isrger than my wolf, but his age is


    his weakness and my advantage.’


    ‘Lunging at my father, we roll, taking swipes at each other and biting into each other’s flesh as soon as


    there is an opportunity to do so. Blood stters onto the warriors as they


    watch on. Finally, I bite my father’s throat and rip his head off.


    ‘I immediately growrger ande into my power, letting out a loud howl to announce myself as the


    new Alpha. I have many wounds. My Dad had bitten my ear off during the fight. I shift back into human


    form, with my ear mostly gone. I return to the packhouse as the new Alpha.’


    ‘My search for Alyssa and her pack spans months and then years. In the meantime, I ept Alice as


    my chosen mate. She has a crush on me. We eventually have a daughter Vanessa, and two twin sons:


    James, followed by John.’


    I’m a ruthless Alpha and often lose my temper. I never stop searching for Alyssa. Yearster, I found


    out the Justice pack had been wiped out, with only the Luna, Alyssa, escaping. She is with-child,


    carrying Alpha Axton’s baby. After being in two packs that were both wiped out, she wants to live


    amongst humans. She can’t bear the thought of raising her baby in the werewolf world.


    ‘She moves to the city, where she meets a human who falls deeply in love with her. They buy a house


    together near the woods. She loves nature, and being a wolf, she shifts secretly and goes for runs in


    the woods. Her human lover doesn’t know what she and the baby truly are. He loves her so much, and


    her daughter knows only him as her Dad. She wants her daughter to have a wolf-free life for as long as


    possible and protect her from the danger and brutality of the werewolf world. Once her daughter turns


    eighteen, shifting into a wolf is


    inevitable. Just before her eighteenth birthday, Alyssa intends to tell her about her wolf DNA.


    ‘When her daughter is around seven, and my sons are not much older, I find out where they live. The


    house emits sweet


    giggles. I watch and wait in the woods until I hear Alyssa’s voice. ‘Come on, Astrid, darling. It’s your


    turn to find me!’ Although I can’t see you, I know you’re hiding somewhere. Sniffing around, I catch your

    scent. Maybe if I growl, I can scare you into moving, and it works. I knew chasing you would make her


    her.’


    ‘I run toward her and lunge at her. My teeth sink into her neck while I shake her around like a rag doll,


    and the colour fades from her face, and she bes lifeless. Once I know, she is dead. I also


    consider killing you up in the tree until I hear the gunshots. I have achieved my goal, killing your mother


    for leaving me for Alpha Axton.’


    I decide to monitor you over the years. I know your stepfather isn’t treating you well. It makes me happy


    knowing it would have made your mother miserable.’


    ‘My pack runs differently from other packs. I don’t want to go along with the whole fated-mate shindig.


    Instead, I decide to match people with mates who increase the pack’s strength. Vanessa, pretending to


    be a victim, goes to Shadow Crest with the mission to mark and mate Ryker, one of the strongest


    alphas around, besides me. Alice is stubborn, though, and


    doesn’t want to leave Vanessa. So, I send them both and keep in contact with them daily. Alice spends


    the odd night here, with Shadow Crest none-the-wiser.’


    ‘Knowing you are of Moonstone Crest and Justice pack DNA means you are a powerful wolf with rare


    genes and likely a pure white wolf who would breed strong pups with my son. Amelia is an Alpha’s


    daughter too, mixed with a secret gene that only her family and I know about, who, with a substantial


    dowry, handed her over to be mated with John.


    ‘Love no longer matters. It doesn’t matter if the Moon Goddess gives you a mate. There is always a


    chance you’ll be rejected and left for someone else, regardless of how strong the bond is! I learned


    power is stronger than love that night.’


    ‘That’s what I taught my pack: it’s less heart-breaking to choose a mate who will benefit you and the


    pack, and a fated mate’s rejection is gut-wrenching.’


    ‘My kids agreed. I killed the boy’s fated mates. They were weak Omegas. Can you believe that?


    Omegas matched to future alphas! I killed Vanessa’s mate, too. He was the weakest wolf I had ever


    seen: more mutt than wolf. And now, here you are, the day before your eighteenth birthday, about to be


    marked with my eldest son. How did it go? Oh, yes. ‘Wee to the family, sweetheart, Alpha Zenith


    says with a sadistic smile.
