Alpha Sarvan

Prologue

Lili-Mae's point of view:

Here I was standing at the door taking a final look at the place I called home for the last 18 years, the place where all my memories were made, the place where I lived with my parents and my younger brother...

"Hey kiddo, we should be on the road soon if we plan on dropping you at the bus station and making it back home before the nightfall", came my father's voice from the car behind me to break my daze.

Turning slowly, I picked up my backpack and climbed into the car.

"He's not coming, is he?" I asked pointing out to my brother Ben who has been sulking since my birthday when I had first announced that I'd be moving to the human city to enroll in the medical school.

My mom looked at me from the passenger seat with unshed tears in her eyes and said: "He'll get over it soon, he'll be here to welcome you home when you come over for the holidays. Don't be sad about it, you know how much he loves you."

I didn't say anything for the rest of the ride as I watched the trees of the Crimson Night pack fade away.

I had put on my headphones in an attempt to muffle the whimpers of my wolf.
Snow is my wolf, I was an early bloomer so I've had her by my side since I was 13. Her name suits her well; she has white fur and a pure heart. It was difficult for me to leave our pack against her will. She has been giving me the silent treatment for a month now. She wanted us to, at least, attend the pack party that was held in September of every year and that was going to take place next week. She wanted to make sure that we weren't leaving our mate behind. Honestly, part of me didn't want to take the risk of finding our mate in the pack and abandoning my dream in becoming the next pack doctor.

It wasn't like I was leaving forever right?
I'll be back in 6 years to finish my training at the pack's clinic.

I have tried every way to soothe my wolf's pain... I've even told her that maybe our mate was out there somewhere waiting for us to find him, but both of us knew that I was talking bullshits.

After a 1-hour-ride, we reached the bus station. My father was reluctant to let me go but we had an agreement; he would let me pursue my dreams if I promised to join the warriors once I was back for good.

Henry Hart was my father when he wasn't busy being the head worrior. He loved his job and wanted my brother and I to follow the same path. With me being an early bloomer, Snow and I started our training at a young age making us the number 1 candidate to take our father's position when the time comes.

My mother Emily on the other hand was an omega who owned one of the pack's famous restaurants. She was a proud mother always backing my every decision and shaping my personality to become a strong independent woman.
And last but not least, there was my brother Benjamin who's 4 years younger than me. We'd argue a lot; he didn't approve of the antisocial life I had since we, wolves, were usually extroverted... But not me. I cherished my time alone and loved to go on long runs in the secluded part of the pack forest, that if I wasn't training of course.

Saying goodbye to my parents wasn't as easy as I anticipated, my wolf was throwing a fit; leaving was becoming real.

The bus ride was uneventful but while we were nearing the city, I was blown away by all the different lights and colors... it was fascinating.

I was feeling snow becoming uneasy as we went deeper in the city. I won't be able to let her out on her runs as often anymore. The wilderness was scarce around here and I couldn't risk exposing ourselves; the werewolves' existence was meant to stay a myth.

'It will be okay, I promise. We'll be back before you know it.' I told her only to be met with a deafening silence.
I may have just lost my other half...
