Bulletproof Alpha

Prologue

Screams. Each one louder that the other.

I could feel the pain through the pack bond. Outside there was a massacre going on and there was honestly nothing I could do about it. I always follow the rules and this time was no exception. I listened to my father and kept hidden in the shelter with all the children and women unfit to fight. However, I couldn't take it anymore, felling the pain of the ones out there fighting to save us, their screams and cries for help. Great anger rose within me like a bolt of lightning making my senses grow more attuned and strong. Before I realised it I had broke down the door.

I took of running as fast as I could through the forest. The wind blowing my hair back and bringing the smell of death with it. Everywhere I looked bodies were scattered on the ground. The grass and bushes weren't green anymore, instead red painted the forest.

Following my instincts and my wolfs I ended up on a beautiful pond, where clear blue water cascaded down the rocks. But there was no time for astonishment because soon I took noticed of the four bodies bodies laying on the ground. My family was dead. They were dead.

I couldn't process it. And I wasn't given time to.

Bright and intense orange eyes stated glowing in the bushes in front of me. I wasn't sure I wanted to run or go after them, I knew they were responsible for all that was happening, I just didn't understand why. What had my pack done? Had my father, the Alpha, done something? Who had he pissed off? Those were the questions I was asking myself in that moment, little did I know it were all the wrong ones.

Excruciating pain hit me. My head pounded like a thousand rocks falling in a avalanche and with them came the images of how my family was slaughtered. The pain was as if knifes were piercing my spine and my skin burned as if it had just been lit on fire. I crumbled to the ground on my knees, while the terrifying man came forward laughing evilly.

Suddenly, I wake up panting for air, trying to catch my breath still felling the pain in my scars and burns.

What happened four years ago broke me.

What I endured at the age of fifteen will never allow me to be who I was. Witnessing my family's slaughter will forever leave a scar on my heart, far worse than the one on my body. I guess what hurts the most is knowing that the one who was suppose to die that day, for some unknown reason, was me.

At only fifteen I had to take upon myself every responsibility, I had to become Alpha of our pack. I was alone then and now. My family, my bloodline was in process of revocation. I has no one. No one to guide or to teach me the ropes of leading a pack. I had to make my own way to survive and make the pack hole again, help it become stronger.

I would have never imagined my life to become this, but once again fate proves itself to be unexpected and always contradict what we wanted for ourselves.

My leadership has been questioned and challenged by many even after the rumors spread.

Some call me cruel and ruthless.

Those who are close to me love me unconditionally.

Those who find out what happened pity me.

But me? I choose to be feared.

My name is known and feared all over packs for a reason.

A midnight black wolf with red eyes. The rarest of combinations. An extinct species that only reapers when needed. I act upon instinct, I am fearless, strong, passionate, fierce and impervious.

Sapphire was born a leader and my strength lays with her. We complement each other. After all, your wolf is half of who you are.

I'm Avalon Blackwood, the Bulletproof Alpha.
