The Alpha In Him (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1-

I stormed from the house, slamming the door shut behind me. Before I could bring myself to look back I was running as fast as I could down the street, Brandon, my now ex screaming out for me to come back and let him explain.

This is my fault. I should have known by his lack of communication and quick anger that he was hiding something from me, something big. It’s my fault for not seeing the signs quick enough and I had to learn that the hard way.

Seeing him in bed with someone else.

The picture of them tangled in the sheets, as naked as the day they were born will haunt me for years to come, I gave my heart to him and he might as well have stomped on it. I wish there was some way I could take back what I saw or to at least end it before it got to the point of him having to go behind my back and cheat on me.

An echo rings through the empty street, my ex yelling at me to come back and talk to him. I turn my head back to have a look behind me. He comes speeding around the corner but before he can spot me I quickly jump into the nearest dark alleyway.  I continue running until I’m surrounded by nothing but darkness and there’s no possible way he can see me from the street.

I watch Brandon as he runs past the opening and continues down the street, he doesn’t even bother to stop and look where I’m hiding, not that he’d see anything if he did.

After a few more minutes I continue walking further and further into the alleyway and it’s when I begin to calm down that I finally notice where I am. My parents always told me to stay as far away as possible from these alleyways. ‘There’s nothing nice about them’ My mother would constantly tell me.

They held all types of people ranging from rapists and drug addicts to murderers and drunks. Brandon’s voice yells out from behind me and that’s all it takes for me to continue running as fast as I can down the alleyway. I run until my feet fall out from underneath my body and my eyes are unusable with tears. Not that they’d help me see in this place anyway.

I stay on the ground, sobbing into the sleeve of my shirt quietly. How could I have been so blind?

There’s a bang in front of me and my head shoots up so fast I’m surprised I don’t get whiplash. It’s still impossible to see however so I instead shakily get onto my feet and sidestep until my reaching finger tips graze the brick side of the alleyway.

Trying as hard as I can to slow my breathing I concentrate on my sense of hearing instead of sight. At first I hear nothing but the drops of rain beginning to fall but when I listen closer I recognize the sounds of walking, however something’s different about it.

It almost doesn’t sound human, but instead… animal. The rain begins to fall faster and in such big drops that it doesn’t take long until I’m soaking wet from head to toe. I pull my hoodie up, not caring that it’s not really working anyway.

The footsteps sound again and I stop breathing altogether. I was hoping that it might have been getting further away, that doesn’t sound like it though. A light beyond where I’m huddled up against the wall flickers on and off so fast that all I see is what looks like a rabid dog.

Its black fur matted and in tangles, cream skin poking through in places where it’s missing. The light flashes again but this time I catch what it really is, a wolf. But that’s impossible; there have never been any reports of wolves being in this area, ever.

I consider walking away quietly and leaving it to its own business like most animals but that’s when the light flashes on again and it’s gone. My body goes cold as a chill runs down my spine and the hair on the back of my neck stands on end. Slowly I turn around to come face to face with the same wolf, but this time I notice the redness of its eyes.
