The Only Alpha Luna

Alpha.....

It was 11:30pm when I thought that I should go back on my word, call it quits and never think about him again. I had finally convinced every part of myself that he didn't want me, when he ran through the density and out to the openness of the field. I wanted to believe that it was just him, yet even I would be an idiot to be in his territory without guards. With my eyes I dare him to allow the guards to be caught by the patrol instead of being given sanctuary by me. As though sensing my thoughts he nods his head, it's then I realize he was mind linking with someone. Two wolves walked through the trees, yet I was still focused on the first. He was big, midnight black, and for some reason that impressed me. His claws looked pristine as though they had never been used to harm anyone, but I knew that was a lie. There was no Alpha who hadn't done some form of punishment on his own wolves, no current Alpha who hadn't fought in a war.

Besides me, it was then I realized how much of an Alpha I wasn't. There was howling in the distance as a wolf stood in front of my territory. The Alpha who had just joined me and his guards flanked me. My wolf was impressed, and happy, yet disappointed that he didn't believe we could defend ourselves. My human self thought it was hot, and I was indifferent. I had to remain indifferent if I were to never fall for this man. I couldn't fall for him, for both of our sakes. The wolf that was just beyond my territory shifted, the wolf in front of me growled. It wasn't that hard to guess that he was the Alpha.

I turned my head knowing that it was the fact I was looking at another man nude, that made the Alpha mad. I giggled a little, since I thought it was funny an Alpha being jealous of nothing but a mere pack member. No, not a pack member, a rogue. Maybe it was because I hadn't gone through with the mating bond. Good enough for me, guess I'll never do it and he'll always be jealous. Did that really just cross my mind? I ask myself trying to stop thinking about him.

"What do you want?" I ask the rogue only now being able to find my voice. It came out in my Alpha tone, and as a command which is how I intended it to.

"For mercy, and shelter." The rogue says, I wish I knew whether or not he was bowing in respect. After all that was my number one rule whether or not you were an outsider. To respect me, yourself, and others.

"Why?" I ask, all too curious as to why the rogue would run all the way to the North. Did he think that he could make it to that Alpha's territory in Canada? Everyone knew that depending on your crime, depended on whether or not he made you answer to it from another Alpha besides himself. A similar way to how I occasionally work. Keyword occasionally since unlike him I can't afford to make enemies left and right.

"I committed a crime against my previous pack. I am at your mercy, please quickly make a decision as to what you will do with me." The wolf is pleading with me with his voice since I can't see his voice, or see his body language.

"You have mercy and shelter for now, I will discuss your crime with your previous Alpha. You may cross." I say without hesitation. I turn and he's a wolf again running to stand next to the guard on my left. I look at the two wondering what just happened. That's when there's two men in jeans and a T-Shirt on my border with what looks like a hunting party behind them.

"Give me the rogue and nothing will happen." The taller of the two say in a clear, determined voice. The only problem was that I could feel deep down in my bones he was nothing more than a beta. A man that had no control over me, not even his wolf could make me submit. I laughed, since I could easily take him and the pack of hunters he had with him.

"No, I promised him mercy and shelter for now." The wolf at my left's head snaps at me, as though I've said something wrong. In truth though I haven't since I've done nothing but tell the truth the fact that people don't pay attention to every word I say and analyze the meaning is not my fault.

"I'm sorry dear, but I promised my Alpha I would bring him back to be brought to justice, to be killed. I will do exactly as I promised." He's about to take a step over the line, the imaginary line that doesn't have any real markers when the other man stops him. Whispers something in his ear and then steps back. It's then that this beta blows, there is no doubt in my mind that whatever that man whispered were not the words that he wanted to hear. Since the man's head made contact with the ground, his dislocated body falling limply to the ground. I looked away not understanding how a beta would handle punishments so swiftly. How he could hurt one of his own kind so quickly. I always thought that your beta and your mates were supposed to keep you from turning you into a monster. Not become the monster themselves.

"If you're Alpha wants him back, send him to my house. No guards," I say remembering the old times when this beta's Alpha taught me everything I know about being an Alpha. The person who taught me that an Alpha could be ruthless, as well as caring, how when you're an Alpha sometimes you have to find your own path. It was then that it hit me.

I'm like the other Alpha's but, only as much as there was a possibility for me to be. I am different though, I overcame most challenges they haven't faced. I am a woman and I was the first and only one of my kind to accomplish that so far, especially for as long as I've been in charge. I was the first Alpha to be Alpha at the age of 10. I was feared and revered by the older generations, and as well as filled with gratitude from their thanks. The younger generations in my pack felt as though there was no better Alpha, and as my beta reminded me everyone of my pack members would follow me to the grave.

I am an Alpha, I will not question it. I have gone too far, lost too much, and saved too many, for me to not have earned this position. Is it precisely because of my past that I deserve my place in this pack. It is precisely because of my past that the likelihood of my "mate" getting through to me is thin. However, that's not what I'm questioning. I am questioning nothing, because I am the Alpha. I will not change, nor will I let anyone take this position away from me. No one but me will lead my people. Unless......

I left the man standing there not looking back as I made my way to my house.
