Alaska

River - 19

A/N: sorry for how short it is! Have an insight to Rivers brain and what happened to him in the cafeteria, he isn't that big of an ass.

***

I sat in the cafeteria, waiting for the love of my life to get her food and coke sit with me and Andrew. I saw her from across the room, her heavenly scent wafting along the air from the a.c.

Sweet Vanilla and bitter Coffee. Such a strange combination but it worked so effortlessly for her.

Her black hair tumbled down her back in beautiful curls, her green eyes able to see straight through me from any distance. She was so beautiful, and the best part is, she is all mine.

'Mine too asshole.'

I rolled my eyes at my wolf, grinning as Alaska began to walk towards me. That's when the lights shut off, my body immediately going into Alpha mode. The projector lit up, a photo of my love with her name under it lit upon the screen, my eyebrows furrowing as I cast glances to Andrew and James besides me.

"We all know Alaska Rose, correct?" I looked up to Paige standing with a microphone in her hand, my jaw clenching as I tried to control he urge to slaughter her right here and then.

'Kill her kill her KILL HER.'

'There are humans idiot.'

He growled in my head, my eyes blackening as I gripped the table. It cracked under my strength, Andrew grabbing my arm to try and relax me. But it took everything in me not to shift right here right now and kill her.

"What most don't know is that daddy dearest left Alaska because he couldn't stand the sight of her. The best part, Andrew Collins is her half brother!"

The room was silent, a few wolves kept glancing between Andrew and Alaska. Everyone know what that meant, that he didn't wait for his mate. That means disgrace between wolves, high ranking or not.

"But I got a little file from the counselor office-"

"No!" Alaska shouted, moving from whatever spell she was in. I tried focusing on Alaska as she furiously walked towards Paige, my heart wrenching at her expression.

"Oh let's take a look, manic depression, anger problems, oh, here it is! Started self harming at, what age is this, oh yes, 10 years old! Isn't that a little you Alaska?"

Someone changed the photo to one of a girl with dark hair, her skin tight across her face. She looks starved, her cheekbones and jawline protruding in a sickly way. I knew who she was just by looking in her eyes, but her eyes were cold and empty, where as now they were warming and growing better.

"Paige," I growled at her, the table breaking even more under my hands. Andrew held my arms down, trying to contain my shaking body.

'There are humans here, you can't shift.' He mindlinekd me, but I could hear my wolf growling and roaring deep inside of me.

"Here it is here it is, on your twelfth birthday, —on Christmas Eve no doubt! You slit your wrists, too bad you didn't go through with it." She mumbled the last few words, but that was enough. I snapped and stood up, a deep roar escaping my mouth as I stalked to where she was.

"Wait wait! The crowning glory! 'Signs of physical and mental abuse!' Come on guys, do we really want a Luna like that?" She sneered at Alaska, her eyes flashing to me right before she spoke again. "Your pathetic, you'll never be a good Luna, never be a good girlfriend, so just go give yourself to the Rogues and let them rip you to shreds."

I leaped onto the stage with Andrew right behind me, both him and James trying to hold me back. I growled as I stood in her face, an amused smirk gracing her face as I tried to not snap her neck in front of these humans.

"I'm sorry."

I paid no mind to Alaskas words, thinking she was talking to someone else. She always apologized for something that was never her fault, and it just made me love her even harder.

"Take her to the cells, I will do so much worse there than what I'm going to do here." I took her hand and snapped each finger, grinning maliciously as she gritted her teeth to not scream. She knew better than to alert the humans.

I looked back into the cafeteria, searching for Alaska, but all I found was her bags on the ground where she once stood.

"Where is she?!" I growled, everyone straining to show me there necks under my tone.

'Find mate and then rip Paige's head off!'

I agreed with my wolf as I sprinted from the cafeteria, running outdoors. I pushed my human legs into the woods as I followed her scent deeper into the forest. I shifted only ten feet from the tree line, my legs pushing until I caught the flash of her fur.

Then just like that, she was gone.

I howled in pain, pushing to run to exactly where I saw her last. I dropped to be ground, the mud from the floor caking my dark body as I felt my body grow hollow. I didn't feel pain of rejection, so I knew this wasn't that.

I just felt empty, like I was truly alone. My wolf was there in my head, and my heart was beating like it should, but I still felt incomplete.

It didn't help that after wolves mate, they become even more protective of their mates. She needed to be here, curled up right besides me. She fit so perfectly in my arms, it only made sense for her to be here.

'Find her, I want parties everywhere.' I growled through my mindlink to the entire pack, my voice empty and devoid of any emotion, except complete fury.

'Yes Alpha, Paige is in cell 237.' Andrew linked back as my wolf smiled an evil grin I had only seen him smile when we killed Rogues.

I ran quickly back to our Pack House, shifting back just as I reached the end of the trees. I looked up to find a note tacked to a large oak where we kept extra pairs of clothes under the big roots. I furrowed my brows as I ripped it off the bark, my eyes buzzing over every letter it had.

Alpha,

You better hope you find her before Jarred or I do.

That's when I knew I had to go get her myself, fuck the Rogues and fuck her mother. I needed her, and if I had to kill everyone in my way, I will.
