Chapter 1

     
When you make history, not everyone is fond of it.

Sometimes, the ones closest to you are the ones who detest it the most. You're referring to your family, of course.

You've always felt like a disappointment to them, especially your father, despite the fact that they always tried to hide it. Why? Because you're the first born child to an Alpha and you aren't a male. The situation is rare, hasn't occured in thousands of years, but not impossible. When your father realized that you would inherit his title of Alpha, that's when his dislike for you began. So you guess you can say he's hated you since the day you were born.

People don't like change. But as the first female Alpha in thousands of years, you made sure that they accepted it. The road here wasn't easy, of course. There were many difficulties along the way. For example, once your younger brother was old enough, your father insisted that he fight you for the title. So he did, despite not wanting to. But Hoseok didn't win, which made your father even more angry with you.

On top of that, there are members of the Werewolf Council who don't take you seriously because you are a female. You always have to work extra hard to assert your dominance and stand your ground in a room full of males. It's exhausting, but you wouldn't trade it for the world. Because you have hope that you can make a difference in the way your society sees women. Yes, they are allowed to fight and do any job a male can do. So why is it such a big deal when a female is Alpha? That's a question you ask, but they can never answer.

Although your relationship with your family is strained, there is one person who has always stuck by your side. Your Beta, Yoongi. You've known him since you were a kid and you trust him with your life. He knows you better than anyone else and has supported you through everything.

"Are you sure you don't want to just go home?" Yoongi asks, patting your shoulder gently. "We've already visited three packs today and we've found nothing."

"No." You shake your head firmly. "I have a good feeling about this one. Let's go." He sighs before nodding. Yoongi's hung around you long enough to know that once you make up your mind on something, there's no going back.

He signals the horse to move and soon enough, you're on your way to the Blood Moon pack in search of your mate. Every year, you take a trip to surrounding packs to see if your mate is there. The past three years, you've been unsuccessful but you hope that this time, you will be lucky.

When you arrive on the outskirts of the pack grounds, you quickly hop out of the carriage. Yoongi ties up the horse before following.

As you expected, Cyrus is waiting for you. He is the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack. "Y/n!" He calls as you approach, a devilish smirk on his lips. "So nice to see you once again." Despite his welcoming words, you can hear the sarcastic tone in his voice. You've never liked Cyrus, he is too mischievous and cunning for your liking. But you put up with him because you don't want a pack war on your hands. Plus, there is a slim chance that your mate could be here.

"You as well, Cyrus." You greet him accordingly and Yoongi does the same. He steps aside, letting the two of you in.

"In search of your mate again, I'm guessing?" He asks, following the two of you as you let your nose take the lead.

"You are correct." You keep your answer brief, your main focus on your sense of smell. The most difficult part about finding your mate is that you don't even know what scent you are looking for. The scent of your mate is particular to each person, so his scent is supposed to stick out from the others and draw you in. It is only when you lock eyes with your mate that you will know they are truly yours. At least, that's what you've heard anyway.

You stop when you reach the front of the pack house. The realization that you've never been inside suddenly hits you. But it's because Cyrus always said it was off limits. And you've never really questioned it because the only ones who live there are him and the Omegas who work there. But for some reason, today you are inclined to go inside.

"I've told you, the pack house is off limits." Cyrus's voice is cold. You turn around to see him glaring at you.

"I won't snoop around and you can follow me the entire time. And if I don't find him, I won't ask again."

Cyrus glares at you for a moment longer before sighing. "Fine." He says curtly, opening the front door.

You grin to yourself, finally stepping into his pack house. Cyrus and Yoongi follow you as you check upstairs first, walking through the hallways to see if maybe your nose will catch a whiff of something. When it doesn't, you head back downstairs.

You walk past the kitchen, your nose temporarily overwhelmed by the aromas of a meal an Omega is preparing. You head into the dining room, the living room, no scent in particular standing out to you. You've been through the entire house and..nothing.

"Thank you for your time, Cyrus." You attempt to mask your disappointment as you walk back to the front of the house. "I'm sorry for botheri-" You freeze when your gaze lands on a door you hadn't noticed before, tucked neatly under the stairs.

You approach the door slowly. "You can't go down there." You ignore Cyrus's warning, unlocking the wooden door and pulling it open. An array of different scents hit you, but they're weak. They're Omegas, which must be why you couldn't smell their scents before. Yet, one scent in particular is a bit more intriguing than the others. It's much like chocolate. Sweet and rich, sending a wave of heat through your gut.

Before Cyrus can utter another word, you're barreling down the stairs in search of your mate. The working Omegas all bow their heads and divert their eyes, submitting in the presence of an Alpha. But one of them catches your eye.

A young man with jet black hair, in the middle of washing clothes by hand. His head is down in submission so you can't see his face, but his own clothes are dirty and mangled. And even from here, you can see the various cuts and bruises on his skin. Before you can step closer to investigate, Cyrus and Yoongi come down the stairs in a hurry.

"I told you that you can't be down here." Cyrus insists, sounding angry.

"What happened? Did you find him?" Yoongi asks with wide eyes.

Ignoring both of their statements, you point to the Omega you were previously looking at. "That one right there." You glance at Cyrus. "Who is he?"

Cyrus folds his arms in front of his chest, a humorless chuckle coming from his lips. "That's the runt of the pack you're looking at. His parents died in a fire when he was a kid, and he's been here ever since."

You try your best to keep your expression neutral, although you can feel anger begin to rise up in you. "Why does he have so many bruises?"

"He's our little punching bag. If we're angry, we just take it out on him. It's the only thing he's useful for anyway."

You're not one for telling others how to run their pack, but that is extremely disgusting and unacceptable behavior. You're about to tell Cyrus off when the Omega finally meets your eyes.

And god, if he isn't the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. His chocolate brown eyes stare deeply into yours and you swear, you could drown in them. If there is one thing you know for sure, it's that this man is definitely your mate.
