The Wolf Within

Intro & Chapter One

Intro :

Growing up being the Alpha's daughter is a job on its own, anything I do gets reported back to my dad. I hate that he has eyes and ears everywhere. But regardless what I get in to he always gets me out of it. I think I get a break today though because its my birthday. The day you are destined to find your mate. 

Today is my 17th birthday and that means I'm at the age to find my mate. 

My parents have been looking forward to this day, the day I find my mate and become Luna of his pack. They expect my mate to be an Alpha, that makes sense to me but you never know.

I am a rare coated wolf. My dad says that's a great thing, but I think it makes me stand out. I don't like to be the center of attention, and my coat isn't a help.

Also my size and speed, I'm the fastest wolf in the pack, and I'm a great size. I'm a pretty big She-wolf and that gets me a lot of attention.

My coat is a really bright white at my paws and then the rest of my body is jet black. My eyes are dependent on my mood. The darker the color, the damper the mood.

My father is Quincy Hughes , Alpha of the Polar Eclipse pack. We are the biggest and strongest pack in United States. My dads best friend, Jay Woods, is his Beta and he is an intimidating man. His wolf is a dark grey color and his eyes are a piercing blue. They are dark blue like the ocean at night.

My mother, Zayla Hughes, is a beautiful wolf. Her coat is the prettiest tan color I've ever seen. Her paws are white at the tip, and she is the greatest Luna, we couldn't ask for a better one.

*********Chapter One**************

I get out of bed, making those baby dinosaur stretching sounds, and head the bathroom. My wolf is begging me to go on a run. She is on full alert, but she has a good reason. She is so excited to meet our mate.

She wants to meet him in wolf form, but I want to meet him in human form. My wolf hates the thought that I don't want our mate to see us in wolf form. She feels as if I don't like her. But I do, she is beautiful and I'm glad to have her as my wolf.

I made sure my school stuff was ready and I head out. I grab a fruit bowl and some oat meal.

I eat quickly and say my goodbyes while heading out.

I head to the woods behind the house. Our house is really big. Alphas are expected to have good living, and they usually do. My house is red brick and four stories tall. It has white lining and is actually really beautiful.

I find one tree and go to it and prepare to shift. Once I'm sure I'm alone I shift, the feeling of shifting is amazing. I tell her to surface and take over and my bones pop in place and I shift.

I run through the woods, dodging branches, and jumping logs. I run for a while then shift back. While walking back I pick up a scent I don't recognize, lavender and earth mix. A peaceful smell, but I don't know the smell.

I turn my back and realize a black werewolf behind me. An Alpha male that is easily detected. I try to calm my wolf, she seems excited almost. She is fighting to surface. I tell her it's okay, I'm not looking for a fight, but hopefully he isn't stupid enough to challenge me.

" Your trespassing on Polar Eclipse Packs land, explain your reasoning why you shouldn't be killed. " I say with so much power I'm tempted to smile. But I keep a straight face.

He looks like he is offended by my question.

My wolf is longing for me to go to him. She must be mad.

" My parents have sent me on my way to search for a mate. I mean no trouble. If you don't mind me asking, your unmarked ? " he says.

" What is your name? " I ask completely ignoring his question.

" Jake King. " he paused. " Alpha of Red Moon Pack. "

" Your an Alpha? Your so young. " I say in pure awe.

" Yes, and I'm 19. " says Jake.

He walks towards me, his eyes changing black. His wolfs at surface, I let out a growl feeling threatened.

I don't say anything, but instead of speaking my wolf surfaces. I take deep breathes and calm her down. Something about his scent makes my wolf feel something and it calms her.

" Your name? " says Jake.

" Isabella Hughes. Daughter of Alpha Quincy Hughes. " I say proud of my title.

" So, that's why your such the power is thick in the air? " he says.

" I assume. " I say. Something isn't right.

My wolf senses a threat and sends a mind link for me to Shea, my Best friend and Beta Jay Woods daughter.

' I need you to come to the woods and help. We have a trespasser, I'm not to weak to take him down. But before I kill him I would prefer your intake on whether he should survive or not. " my wolf says to Shea.

My wolf rarely talks to others, but I wasn't surprised she did.

' Almost there. ' Shea says.

Within seconds I pick up Shea's scent, but I'm not the only one who senses it. Because Alpha Jake starts towards me thinking I have more people coming.

He surprises me by not stopping, I jump and while in the process I shift. I let him charge me first, but when he snips my paw I immediately attack.

I go for his neck, but he sensed that action and bites at my leg. I stop moving and play hurt. He shadows me like an Alpha would challenge another male for his mate.

He calms down and backs off, but I took that chance and latch my teeth on to his back leg. He tries to bite me anywhere he can but I'm to fast.

I latch on harder and bring him down. The taste of his blood brings my wolf over me. I'm trying to keep at the surface so I don't kill him.

Luckily, Shea shows up and launches at him. I release and notice it hurts to walk. I look down and my back paw has been completely sliced through.

I growl, but I step on the injured paw and the growl turns to a whimper. I limp to a tree and sit down, Shea is now towering Jake and growling so loud I can feel it.

Luckily with me being a werewolf, I heal quicker than normal. And the Alpha blood running through me causes me a more advanced healing process. Being in wolf form I heal in minutes.

I stand up and walk over to Shea, it hurts to walk on my paw but its not as bad as before. The bleeding has stopped and it's closed up now.

I show my teeth to the Alpha and snip at him. His wolf's leg is badly injured but not bleeding as bad.

" Shea? " I say through the mind link.

She is not trying to intimidate Jake, but she is almost protecting him.

" Shea, what's wrong? " I say slowly approaching.

" Mineeeeee. " Shea growls at me.

" You.....found...your...mate?" I say trying to hide my jealousy.

I mean Shea is my best friend, but she hasn't even turned 17 yet. I'm overlooking that because she is my best friend.

" Congratulations Shea! " I say so faint she barely hears it.

" Mate! " Shea says.

" I know, congrats. " I say getting irritated.

He is almost completely healed. He stands in front of her, like there's a need to protect my Best friend from me.

Shea mind links me, " Sorry, I can't fight my wolf on this one, she refuses to leave him. "

Great. Newly found mates that can't separate. GREAT.
