Alpha of alphas

Chapter 5

"What do you say Doll?"

I collapsed onto my side, slowly stretching out my battered body finally released from that torture. I couldn't help but groan at how this action hurt so good. I spent my only day off stuck in my own personal prison thanks to that monster of an Alpha. I was angry but deep down, I knew I deserved worse for what I did. I eyed him skeptically before responding with a simple "No."

"I thought you'd say that." He sighs.

"What do you want with me? If you want to rat me out or kill me just do it already." I quickly say as silence fills the space between us. Noticing the way I responded might come off rude, I added a small "please..." at the end. I didn't want a repeat of what happened earlier.

"I came here for a mundane meeting on how to help that weak Alpha of yours protect his pack. I arrived a little later as I had more important matters to attend to before having the delight of witnessing a murder." He said. I gulped turning to look the other way as guilt consumed me.

"The night you murdered Alpha Darius- "

"Please don't say murdered." I interrupted.

He clenched his jaw and continued. "The night you ruthlessly murdered Alpha Darius, I saw something in a female wolf I have never seen before. The strength you used to kill him was unnatural. Make yourself useful to me and you live Ava." The way he said my name sent chills down my spine.

I breathed. "What do I have to do?"

"Go on a run with me." He replied, as he slid my small window up and climbed out smoothly. Reluctantly I walked to the window and poked my head outside. I couldn't find where he went as my gaze scanned the area. I was so nervous as I carefully climbed out into the chilly night with a shaky breath. I haven't shifted into my wolf form since I was a little girl.

He appeared beside me making me jump before disappearing again. My eyes couldn't keep up with his speed in my human form. It was clear, the predator was playing with its prey.

"I can't shift you know! Female wolves aren't allowed to in these parts." I called out lowly into the dead of night.

"I know" he said appearing on the other side of me. "And I don't care" he admitted. My eyes slowly wandered down his ink covered chest down, onto his deep cut abs, and rested right above his dangerously low hanging jeans. I shot my gaze up to the diamonded stars embarrassed at my lack of self-control. Thank Goodness the darkness of the night concealed the blood rushing to my cheeks. He chuckled before he seamlessly shifted into a large black wolf with those silver eyes of his. His fur was silky and reflected the moon itself. I wanted to reach out and touch him before I heard his voice in my mind.

"Just shift already. Don't test my patience again."

I took a deep breath before activating the violent cracking of my bones. I cried out at the pain of every bone in my body breaking. I haven't done this in forever so of course it wouldn't be as smooth as his transition. I laid on the floor trying to catch my breath before opening my eyes watching his gigantic wolf hover over me. His wolf stumbled backwards visibly stunned at my russet wolf. Taking advantage of his shock I took off running.

I welcomed the wind between my fur and the rush of power that ran through me. I could hear his paws hitting the ground chasing me. I felt truly free as I sped up letting myself experience this part of me after so many years. I dashed through the thick woods and leaped over tree roots allowing my tongue to hang lazily as I smiled for the first time in forever. Stumbling upon a lake, I came to a slow stop as I trotted over to the edge to grab a drink. My breathe was taken away as I stared at my reflection. Gold eyes of fire looked back at me in disbelief. Eyes like these only belonged to one type of wolf. Catching up to me he looked me in the eyes with a grave look on his face.

"Ava. You're an Alpha."
