King Adair

Chapter 1

"Mia, run!" my dad yells as I look at the three wolves terrified.

"But Daddy—"

"Mia now," my dad demands as I see him and my mom shift into their wolves.

With tears in my eyes I start sprinting back in the direction of the pack house. Hesitating, I take one look back and instantly regret doing so. I see my loving parents being ripped to shreds by the three vicious rogues.

One of them take a look up at me and that is all it takes for my adrenaline to kick in. I turn around and sprint, never to see my parents again. I am almost free to the clearing when I run straight into something and fall on the ground. I look up to a helping hand—

"Wake up, whore," someone yelled as I felt water dripping down my face.

I open my eyes to see the worst, Alpha Kean Hendrix standing above me. For the past 8 years, I have worked as a lowly maid for Alpha Hendrix within his home.

"Wake up, I am ready for breakfast," I hear Alpha Hendrix grunt once again as he walks out the door. I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that could have gone a lot worse.

I run down the stairs, almost missing one and tripping, in order to get started on breakfast as quick as possible.

I start sizzling the bacon and flipping the pancakes. Soon enough, there is a full plate of food laying on the counter for Alpha Hendrix. It would be foolish of me to make a plate for myself. I am not allowed to eat until he deems his meal satisfactory. Even then, he only allows me tiny meals, saying I need to stay in shape for my eighteenth birthday.

I shiver thinking about it. Just in 9 short days, I will be turning eighteen. This is a significant milestone for werewolves. At age sixteen we are gifted with our wolves, and at age eighteen we are gifted with the ability to sense and find our mates. Mates are a beautiful gift that most wolves look forward to meeting, but I on the other hand am dreading my eighteenth birthday.

Alpha Hendrix's mate and Luna died during a childbirth when I was just a young toddler myself. This devastating complication took both Alpha Hendrix's mate and newborn baby, leaving him all alone. Everyone said that after this happened, he was never the same. I never knew the good side of Alpha Hendrix though, only the bad side that came forth after the death of his family.

Alpha Hendrix has vowed that when I turn eighteen, he will make me his mate and new Luna. My entire body shivers at the thought of this. My wolf, Remi, whines, making me stop my thought process.

'Don't worry Mia I won't let him mate us,' Remi tries to reassure me.

Remi still has hope that one day we will find our mate. I, on the other hand, do not see a possible escape from Alpha Hendrix. He keeps us locked away in his house. Being the Alpha, his house has tight security surrounding the perimeters. I have went through every possible route in my head and cannot picture a way to escape this hell.

"Mia!" I hear Alpha Hendrix yell from the dining room. I scurry in the room to see what he is calling for.

"Yes Alpha?" I breathe out.

"The food tastes alright. You may get an apple and go back upstairs," he says, without even sparing me a glance.

"Thank you Alpha," I do a quick bow and scurry upstairs with my apple.

I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that could have gone much worse. Alpha must be in a good mood today.

Typically, Alpha is not this nice to me. At least twice a week I have to suffer through a beating, and that is on a good week. He usually just punches and kicks me until I lose consciousness. It always depends on what mood he if in, and if he is sober.

He is so deranged that he even calls me Leah some nights, the name of his dead mate. He has a fantasy built up in his head that I am destined to be his mate when I turn eighteen. Luckily, he has not touched me in a sexual way yet, only in a harmful way.

At first I was grateful. Grateful that after the death of my parents he offered me a home and a way to provide for myself through cleaning and going to school. Within only a short month of living with him, he proved himself to be violent. He threatened that if I ever were to speak out against him that I would suffer the same fate as my parents. Within a few months, I was withdrawn from school and forced into online classes so that I would never have to leave his house. I am slowly going insane from being locked in this torture chamber.

I make it up to my bedroom to eat my apple and rest before starting my daily chores. I usually start my chores when Alpha leaves for the day, leaving me alone with just the guards of the perimeter. When I enter my small bedroom, I smile at the picture of my parents and me that is on my dresser. It is all I have left of them. My room is tiny, only holding a small cot and dresser. I am thankful for what I have and that I am not locked in his basement.

A few short minutes later, I hear the front door shut. I head down the stairs to start my daily chores.

Halfway through my chores, my thoughts are interrupted by the slamming of a door. Alpha runs in, seemingly in a bad mood.

"MIA!" Alpha yells out for me.

"Yes Alpha," I say as I hesitantly walk into the room.

"We are getting a visit from the Alpha King in two days, so I need you to prepare the home and a nice dinner. You better not mess this up!" He yells, as he runs upstairs, probably to his office.

I continue my daily chores before planning for tomorrow's events. Why is the Alpha King coming? This is not the type of information Alpha would share with me, so I doubt I will ever know why.

I shiver thinking about the visit. I have heard many stories in passing of the notorious Alpha King. He is said to be stoic with no emotions. He holds no mercy on his victims, and he always get full vengeance. Anyone who is in contact with the King cannot bear to look him in the eyes, for he hold too much power. Although he has the beauty of a Greek God, he is everyone's worst nightmare.

In school, everyone learns about the Royal Pack. The Royal Pack, led by Alpha King Adair, is in charge of safety and security for all wolves in the world. There is an Alpha for each pack, but they all submit to the Alpha King, for he is in charge of every Alpha. 

The Alpha King started his rule five years ago, at age 20, when his parents were tragically reported dead. No one knows what happened; there are only rumors surrounding the old King and his stern personality. The Adair family is notorious for being harsh and ruling with an iron fist. The newer King is no exception to this. 

I recall a few rumors three years ago about the demolishing of the White Moon Pack. Apparently, according to whispers I have heard from being around Alpha Hendrix, the alpha of the White Moon Pack was found to be working with rogues in order to obtain a neighboring pack's outer land. For breaking the law of the royals, the Alpha King supposedly demolished the pack killing dozens of rogues and traitors. Some pack members were allowed to join the Royal Pack, while others chose to go rogue.

Situations like this are what give the Alpha King the reputation her currently has. He gets rid of his enemies with no remorse. The amount of people rumored to have died from his bare hands is thousands. With these recollections in mind, I am nervous to be serving dinner for them in two shorts days.
