Challenge for the Alpha (on hold)

Chapter 3

*seven months later*

"You know what happens when you run away from me?" My mate didn't wait for an answer. He leaned down to whisper in my ear, "I bend you over my lap and punish you." His words and sexy voice made warmth pool between my thighs that left me craving exactly what he had promised. "Try me." I huskily whispered. Suddenly I was between him and a wall with his lips on mine and no space between us.

I woke up sweating from yet another dream about him. He was never far from my mind, making it impossible to do much of anything.My wolf and I are now in a constant battle for control, making me hostile to other wolves. I've become the stereotypical rogue, surviving as a wolf with a kind of crazy look to them. I brought it on myself, I suppose. My wolf was gaining the upper hand and I had all but lost my will to fight. I knew that I was close to my mates territory, which was making both me and my wolf more anxious, but I wasn't sure how close we actually were. I could be in his territory for all I knew. I had to do this, become his mate, so that i can have a semblance of my life back. I wouldn't be considered a rogue, but the new status will help me solidify rogues rights.

Snarls filled the air, which I answered with my own. I could feel it as my wolf took complete control and my eyes turned a golden color. I snarled and snapped at the three threatning wolves. They circled around me with their hackles up, quickly closing in. I bent low, the fur of my belly grazing the ground as I bared my teeth at them. I saw the wolf to my left lunge at me from the corner of my eye. I met him in the air. Teeth, claws, and fur clashed as we each battled for the upper hand. I felt teeth clamp onto the back of my neck and slammed me down into the ground. The wolves teeth clamped around my throat, closing my airway. My vision blurred and went black as the last thing I thought of was my mate.

He better hurry the hell up.

I woke up on a warm bed that smelled like him. The scent instantly calmed my wolf, but I still had no clue where I was. I could still be in danger. I could hear two pairs of footsteps coming towards the room. Still in wolf form, I jumped off the bed, hackles raised and teeth bared. The door opened to reveal two mountains of muscle with surprised looks. Didn't expect this, did ya? I thought to myself. I lunged, not at them, but at the space between them. If I could just get out of here...

Unfortunatley, the dumbass on the right saw what I was doing and caught me midair, using my own momentum to throw me across the room. I 'oomphed' at the impact and slid down the wall. Standing once again, I attempted to shake off my dizziness before charging the men again. By now, they had shifted and were ready for my attack. Everything was blur of fur, teeth, and claws for a while but after I managed to pin one of the mountains down everything stopped. At first, I thought it was because I pinned the guy. But then I smelled it. Or rather, him.

My wolf was almost shaking in excitment as I turned to face the man in the doorway. I couldn't hold back my wolf's yip of happiness at the sight of him. The wolf beneath me saw I was distracted and got the upperhand, throwing me into the wall again. Jackass.

I snarled and snapped at the wolf as he stalked toward me. I curled up on myself, knowing I couldn't fight these two again after that first fight. Not only was I exhausted, but I was injured.

My mates growl was one of raw fury that filled the room and froze the two wolves stalking toward me. "Don't you dare lay a finger on my mate and your Luna!" His voice was full of raw power that sent shivers down my spine. The two wolves cowered at the sound of their alphas anger. I, on the otherhand, trotted right up to him and licked his hand. His eyes softened as he looked down at me. "Reversus es, amica mea." He said huskily in Latin, giving me goosebumps. "Leave us." He commanded the two wolves without breaking eye contact with me. They quickly made their leave. My mate bent to be on eye level with me. "Shift for me, my love." The way he said it, with that sexy voice of his, there was no way I could deny him.

reversus es, amica mea = my love you have returned in Latin
