The Runaway Alpha ~ Brayn Short Story

Chapter 4: Zayn

There is a pack meeting tonight.  Liam came by to ask us to join him and Niall being such a good hearted idiot he is, he accepted the invitation. I actually don't mind because then I will have a chamce to find my mate. So that is why I am in my black skinny jeans and a black fitted t-shirt, I wanna look good for my mate.

"C'mon, we're gonna be late!" Niall yelled, making me roll my eyes. My Alpha is really punctual and hates to be late. I walk downstairs just as the others do and we all leave the house. You may be wondering why I changed here when my stuff is at the pack house. Simple. I spend a lot of time with Niall and Denise so I always have clothes at their houses.

Our group arrived at the meeting place and Niall went to the stage with Liam. The meeting continued but i couldn't concentrate on anything being said, the scent of my mate was everywhere. I was brought back to reality by my mate's scent getting stronger and a hand grabbing mine and judging by the sparks that shot through my hand and up my arm, it was my mate.

I looked up in the eyes of my mate and felt a small smile form of my face. I looked at Niall and shot him a smile before leaving the room with my mate. We continued walking through the forrest in silence until we reached a small lake (A/N: NOT LIAM'S LAKE!). We sat down and he looked at me.

"My name is Brandon." He said. "I am the Beta of the pack."

"Zayn." I know. But cut me some slack, I am nervous as fuck!

"So before we go anywhere, I was one of Niall's tormentors." What the fuck? Isn't he suppposed to be getting on my good side? "I want to get all of this out of the way so you don't hear any twisted versions of the story. Our generation was raised to hate Niall, especially after his father died. Trust me, I tried to stop but i was told that i will lose my position as Beta. I never physically abused him, most of the time, i stayed out of his way. The only thing i did was say mean things to him. I was thinking that when i become Beta, i would be able to help him and maybe get him out of this pack. I promise you, i never wanted to hurt him." He explained. I looked into his eyes to find any trace of untruth but only found sincerity.

"Thank you for telling me." I said to him. "My name is Zayn Malik."

"Malik? As in the next Alpha of Crimson Moon pack?" I nodded. "What? How? Your family is looking for you?" He said still in shock.

"I know. But it was either stay home and marry my Beta's mate and never meet you, or run away and make sure four lives don't end up miserable. It was basically my parents' greed or my happiness and the girl that was supposed to be my wife agreed with me. She helped me run away." I told him.

"So what's gonna happen now?" He asked.

"It's all up to you. You have an obligation to this pack." I told him.

"But what about you? You are also obligated to your pack! You are the Alpha!" He stood up and started pacing.

"Can we discuss this later? After Niall and Liam work on their relationship, we can sit down with them and look for a better solution." I pleaded.

Brandon looked at me for a while before sighing and sitting down next to me. He took my hand and kissed my knickles. "Of cause. We will figure it out." He pulled me closer to him and kissed my forehead. "It will all work out in the end."

I am so happy that I ran away.
