The Lost Lycan Princess

Chapter 16 - The Alpha's Fiance

Walking out of Jackson's office, I went straight to forest for a run. I needed some time to think alone and clear my mind. My mind was still confused with everything that's been happening with Jackson lately and I didn't know what to do.

I had to make sure the area was clear of wolves before I shifted into my Lycan. Alina, my wolf, was beautiful. She was bigger then any average wolf of even Alpha. An Alpha is about 6 ft 5 in height compared to an average wolf who would be near 6 ft. A Lycan on the other hand was almost 8 ft tall. Normally their fur would be brown, black, orange or grey. Mine in the other hand was white, snow white, with gold along the tip of my tail, in my paws and a gold patch on my forehead.

It was very strange for a Lycan wolf to have fur like mine but I just considered myself unique. I knew I was different from other Lycan's but I didn't know how exactly. My father would tell me when I was a child that I was special and was destined to do great things. But being a child, I never questioned what he meant.

I began to run, run as fast as I could. It was the only way I knew to release the stress that was building within me. I allowed Alina to take control, she push me to the back of my mind. I could see everything, hear everything but I couldn't control me actions, that was all Alina. We had a pretty good relationship. She was great at giving me advise and tell me off when I'm wrong. She also encouraged me to do things I wouldn't normally do and push me to my limits. We respected each other and occasionally I would allow her to take control so she would be free for a little while instead of caged up all the time. Today was one of those days.

Running through the forest felt incredible. The sounds of the birds chirping, branches creaking and the forest animals playing was like music to my ears. The smells of my surroundings were fresh and organic as I inhaled them in. I could feel the twigs and leaves crunching under my feet as I gracefully swifted in and out through the skyscraper trees until I came to a clearing. The night started to appear as the sun set and the diamond like stars scattered throughout the night sky.

Stepping out into the flower filled clearing, all I wanted to was sleep. But I knew it was dangerous to even think at, what if someone found me in my wolf form? How would I explain myself? Forcing my eyes to stay open, I got down in all fours and rested my head down in my front paws. I looked up, the sky was now pitch dark.  The only form of lighting was the moon light which was shining beautifully down in the clearing.

After a while of some thinking alone in the dark but peaceful forest, I decided to make my way back home. Home. Was this place my home now? Did I want to live here with Jackson? I was still confused when it came to the matter of my mate but I knew it would take time to figure things out, I just had to be patient.

I shifted back into my wolf about 100 yards away from the edge of the forest and made my way towards the mansion. Alina was happy with me that I let her loose. It had been a while since she had a run like that, thankfully the forest in the pack territory was gigantic.

Kiera came through my mind link,
"Ali, where the hell are you?" She sounded worried. Maybe it was because I was gone for hours and no one knew where I went.

"Walking into the mansion right now, I just came back from a run".

"The Alpha is going nuts, his been lashing out at everyone the past two hours because you were nowhere to be found" oh crap. I completely forgot about telling anyone where I was going, honestly I didn't think anyone would care especially not Jackson.

"Well tell him I'm fine" I tried to sound as stubborn as I could but I knew Kiera wasn't buying it.

"Well we have bigger issues then the Alpha, his fiance is here" I could hear the anger in Kiera's tone as she mentioned his fiance. Just the thought of that bitch made my blood boil and I wanted to go in and beat the shit out of her.
