Chapter 1
It’s been 7 years since I ran away from my pack and never came back, it’s been 7 years since I left my whole life behind, my family, my friends and my home.
I was the daughter of the Beta of the Pack, I came from a lineage of Betas and I grew up surrounded by friends and love, I had a fairytale love story, I met my partner Joseph in childhood, we played together and were best friends. We spent our first moon dance after the 21st, side by side, and when midnight came, there was no surprise to discover that he was my partner, the most beautiful and pure love I’ve ever felt.
Our wedding was scheduled for when I left college, he was a soldier in our guard, and I was studying engineering at college, on one of our night walks Joseph wanted to walk to the border to have a picnic, it was our favorite trail, but in a few seconds, our walk romantic turned into a freak show.
Exiles attacked our border, later we found out that they were from a group called Lunas Mortis Exiles who fight against all traditions of the Moon Goddess. Joseph tried to protect me, he stood in front of me, but we were both attacked, I saw a wolf tear my fiance’s throat out in front of me and I saw him bleed to death and then they ripped his head off, while another black wolf with green eyes, chewed my leg and cut my belly. The physical pain I felt couldn’t even be compared to the emotional pain of seeing the love of my life die in front of me. The wolf that attacked me left me to die I felt the blood leave my body, for a moment I wanted to die right there, and everything went black. Your partner’s death means your death too, with Joseph dead and me between life and death, it really was a miracle that I survived no one could explain it, but sometimes I thought I didn’t deserve this luck.
We were going to take over as Pack Betas, I had a whole future ahead of me, and everything was ripped away from me in seconds.
After I woke up in the hospital, my parents took turns staying with me, but after recovering, I just left, left everything behind, and never thought about coming back.
I finished my college and got a job in the city, I started dating Raphael, it’s been 2 years now, he’s great for me, but he will never be like my life partner, besides he’s just a human. We work in the same building, I met him in the halls, and it just happened. I have a best friend, Bethany, she is a secretary at the company I work for and we get along very well.
Bethany invited me and Raphael to meet her new boyfriend, well according to her he’s just a fling but she wanted to introduce us anyway. He’s a big businessman who had a meeting with my boss this week and asked her out. It doesn’t surprise me, Bethany is beautiful, the model type, tall and thin, she has black hair and green eyes that are even more in evidence with the contrast of her hair. I was the complete opposite, and it was funny to see the two of us next to each other, I was shorter, petite and curvy, the petit type, I had blonde hair and blue eyes.
I got ready and Raphael picked me up at my apartment, I put on a tight navy blue dress, after all we were going to a famous pub in the city, we had already been there other times. When we arrived I could already see Bethany at a high table, but she was alone. The place was crowded, the low light, the high tables and the dance floor that was already full, created a whole atmosphere there. When we approached the table a very strong aroma intoxicated my nose, it was a pine smell, woody, maybe it had leather, it was masculine and strong, almost too strong.
“What’s that smell? Did they decide to fill the place with air freshener?” I asked holding my nose.
“What does it smell Alice? It doesn’t smell at all… Just beer and cheap perfume.” Bethany said laughing. “Brad is on his way over to get us some drinks.”
She pointed behind me, and when I turned around I understood why the smell, that Brad, was a fucking wolf, my heart stopped and then accelerated more as he approached me. He was tall, taller than Raphael even, but he was strong, very strong, his shoulders were very broad and his biceps tightened the sleeve of his black shirt, for a few seconds I was imagining that body without the clothes, he must be absurdly muscular . He was older, but his hair wasn’t gray yet, it was dark blonde. His jaw was sharp and square with a short beard and his blue eyes were narrow and intense.
My breathing was getting labored as he approached and his ocean blue eyes met mine directly, leaving me breathless. I haven’t seen or felt a wolf since I left the pack.
Brad finished his walk and stood in front of me looking at me for a few seconds, until Bethany’s high-pitched voice cut us off.
“Brad, this is my friend Alice I told you about.” Bethany said but Brad didn’t break eye contact he looked at me so deeply that I felt he was reading my soul. “Do you already know each other?” Bethany asked confused.
“Ah.. No, nice to meet you Alice.” Brad told me extending his hand.
I looked at his hand and extended my hand as well to shake it. His hand was huge and my thin fingers felt like a child next to his. But when our skin touched, it was like fireworks exploded inside me, sending signals straight between my legs.
I was breathless and uncomprehending, but my panties were instantly wet, so much so that I felt it dripping between my thighs. I looked disconcerted at Brad who swallowed hard, opened his nostrils and sucked in air, he leaned back in the chair and stared back at me. I just didn’t understand what was going on, I turned around and tried to sit up.
Raphael greeted Brad too, Raphael was tall and thin, had messy brown hair and a sweet look, even with all Raphael’s height he still looked like a boy next to Brad.
Bethany took the drink from Brad and sat back down, and he took a sip of his whiskey but remained standing.
“Honey I’m going to get us something, want a margarita?” Raphael rubbed a hand lightly on my shoulder inquiringly.
I couldn’t concentrate on anything properly, I needed to go to the bathroom at least clean my legs
“Sure honey, that would be great. I’ll just go to the bathroom while you get it.”
Raphael went to the bar and I went to the bathroom leaving my friend with that wolf, I couldn’t believe this was happening.
I went to the bathroom and grabbed the sink trying to compose myself, to my happiness everything was empty, I looked up at the mirror and my eyes were bright, my wolf was on the surface, I took a deep breath looking at myself deeply, trying to calm her down, it was 7 years she did not appear. The sound of the bathroom door closing made me gasp, damn it, I’ve lost my privacy and I’m going to need to go to a stall, but the sound of the door locking and the smell of pine flooding my nose made me shake my head. What the hell was he doing here?
My gaze was fixed on the mirror when Brad appeared behind me. His gaze met mine as he said:
“Control your wolf… ” He said it like a damn order. It made me boil inside.
“Who are you to give me any orders? She’ll get it under control… ” I replied growling, but noticing that she was getting closer.
“It’s not what looks like….” He smiled and turned his gaze back to me. “What the hell was that? What did you do?” he asked confused.
“What did I do? I didn’t do anything. It must be….” I lowered my head losing eye contact with him, it was hard. .“I haven’t seen a wolf in 7 years, since I left my Pack, when I touched you and your scent, my wolf must have woken up, I don’t know. I’m sorry, that won’t happen anymore.” I said staring at him again. this will not happen again.” I said staring at him again.
“You haven’t seen a wolf in 7 years?” His eyes widened in surprise and astonishment.
“No…” I replied with my head down.
“And why did you leave?” He asked me now confused.
“I had my reasons.” I responded quickly, not wanting to touch the subject.
“So you work here and have a human boyfriend…” Now Brad chuckled.
He took a step forward saying.
“You haven’t been touched by a wolf in 7 years….” He approached me, one strong step at a time. The smell of him got stronger and he touched my arm sending all the fireworks through my body again, I was turned on again and so wet I almost felt it dripping. “You need to sort this out….”
I gathered all the strength of my being, tried my best to concentrate to say.
“I have a boyfriend. And who do you think you are to tell me what I need to do or not to do?”
He turned me to face him, I looked up but my breathing was so labored and my heart was so racing that I felt like I had completely lost control.
Brad’s two hands were on my shoulders, he was looking at me deeply.
“I see….” Now that huge and imposing man knelt down in front of me, it was so surprising that I was frozen in shock. He held my ankle and ran his nose from my calf to the beginning of my inner thigh making me shiver all over. “Smell…..” He now ran his tongue along the inside of my leg licking my arousal drops, I was now so excited I felt my pussy throbbing. And in one movement he stood up and pressed me against the sink, passing one of his hands where his tongue was an instant ago, his fingers went to my soaked panties he ran a finger through the slippery fabric making me moan at his slightest touch . “And I feel…. Your need. I can help you with that….” He now pulled away from me and straightened his shirt sleeve. “If you ask please…Of course.”
It took me a few seconds to compose myself.
“You are too presumptuous. I don’t know what Bethany saw in you…” I turned to the mirror and smoothed my hair.
“Bethany? She’s all about sex, and she knows it, it was a mutual agreement, I’ll be back with my pack soon, I’m just in town dealing with legal issues.” Brad now took a few steps forward and stood beside me, his voice low but firm. “She’s human, I know she wouldn’t work out, just like you need to stop lying to yourself that it’s okay dating the human out there.”
Without saying another word Brad unlocked the door and left.
