My Alpha Mate

Cinnamon Apples

Alison POV

"Mom, do you need help with the dishes? You've had a long-" suddenly the alarm signaling everyone to meet outside went off.

My mom dropped a plate and it shattered. "Sweety, go with your brother. I'll be there soon." She said with a small smile.

I grabbed my little brother in my arms and ran outside. The town was crowded. We're known as the peace pack. We never fight. We're the FoulMoon pack. It's usually quiet, so the alarm has many very frightened.

"Ladies and gentlemen! We are sorry to announce that we will be thrown into war-" the man is cut off by a bunch of screams and cries. I, myself, felt sick to my stomach and held my brother tighter. Soon my mother joined us.

"Anyway, we are now in war with the BloodMoon pack and the SilverMoon pack!" The announcer yells over the crowd.

My mother sobs and holds my brother and I tightly to her chest. I let a few tears slip, but try to stay strong for her.

"All children 17 and under will be taken to the nearby LostMoon pack to be kept safe. Everyone 17 and under, say goodbye to your families. We are collecting you tonight, when the war begins!"

We all know that the SilverMoon pack dragged us into this. We all know they are the ones who drug us into the previous war ten years ago. We lost most of our pack and now that we're finally a happy pack, they do it again. I was outraged.

"Mom, I won't go, I refuse. I have two days until I'm 18! What will happen then? I won't be in the age group! I'd have to be sent back!" I say quickly and look at my poor brother who would be left alone.

"I'm sorry baby, you have to stay." My mom says sadly and hugs my brother. I hug him as well. "I'm sorry Grun, it'll be okay." He sniffles. He was born a mute. Luckily, he can read minds of everyone, even being at the age of five.

Later that night...

I wake up from a nap. All of the kids have been taken to the other pack already. Yet, the siren is sounding once again.

"Mom, wake up, the siren is going off." I say softly as I shake my mother.

"Huh?" My mom mumbles as she awakens.

"The siren. It's going off." I repeat. She jumps up quickly and basically drags me outside. It must be word of the war.

"Everyone listen up!" The announcer yells. "I'm not saying this more than once! The LostMoon pack had been attacked."

Low murmurs were throughout the whole pack. The children were there! My brother! Suddenly we saw a pack storming towards our own. Everyone quickly ran inside while the soldiers took over and fought. We were clearly losing. I saw my father on the brink of death. The other alpha has taken him down. The scariest alpha of all had killed our alpha, my father.

I ran outside quickly to my father. I could hear my mom screaming from the porch. "How dare you! You can't just-" I looked up slowly.

"Mate, mate, mate!" My wolf screamed at me.

The most beautiful smell of bacon and chocolate filled my nose.

Hudson POV

The most wonderful scent of cinnamon apples filled my nose.

Oh no.

My mate.
