The Fallen Alpha

Chapter One: Loner

Rain cascaded down on me, soaking through my fur and chilling my bones. I watched as it dripped off the leaves of bushes around me, my hung head shamefully low as I observed me wet surroundings. The forest was my new home.

' My pack has done this to me. '

The thought bounced around relentlessly in my head, no matter how hard I wanted to deny it. It would be true until the day I die, which might not be so far off. I deserved this, all of it. Everything that had happened really was my fault, and now I would take the punishment.

I had let my alpha, my soon-to-be mate, die. I was the one who was supposed to have his back, protecting him at all costs, even if it meant giving up my own life! I had failed miserably in my duty, leaving me here to suffer in the woods. Lonely, vulnerable, abandoned...

' No! I was the one who abandoned him... Them. It is all my fault. Some alpha I am. '

I whimpered softly, bowing my head even further as the torrential rain pounded into my back. I was considered lucky to have escaped my pack with my life, but only because I'd been alpha. For his death I should have been killed, had I been just a mere guardian. But I wasn't lucky, not at all. Because an alpha should be able to protect her fellow alpha. So here I was, sentenced to live the rest of my life as a normal wolf, changing as little as possible.

To anyone, it was a fate worse than death itself. To be separated from ones pack. I wasn't lucky, I was the example. For the next alphas.

So I, Alyssa Sparks, former alpha of the Lunari pack, sat drenched in the rain, wallowing in the mud like an ordinary animal, missing my home, my family, and my friends. I was a loner.
