"You shouldn't have run, little one" he said, his deep voice low and husky.
But his huge size, well-built muscular hind and forelegs and the dominant aura made me scuffle backwards. Fear grabbing a hold of my heart causing my face to become flushed as anger replaced my previous emotion, angry at myself for ending up in this situation. "I won't be trapped," I spat, trying to create as much distance as possible.
Erickson's wolf form chuckled, his tail wagging revealing a playful side. "You're already mine, Amelia, my mate, my love, my queen."
"Any place you run to, I will surely find you and that's a promise".
"Let me be your anchor, your guide in this world ruined by my kind and let's find Noah together"
My heart skipped a beat at his claim, my mind reeling. I tried to process the emotions swirling inside me, wondering if I could trust him.
"Would he side with me against his fellow werewolves?"
Isn't that a disaster waiting to happen? Those questions plagued my mind but Noah is my priority right now, I seem to have no choice.
"Alpha Erickson, I Amelia Collins, accept your proposal". My voice firm but hesitant
"I'll work with you. But I warn you, I won't hesitate to defend myself if I feel threatened".
Erickson nodded, his eyes gleaming with a hint of relief. "I wouldn't expect anything less, Amelia. Let's find Noah and bring him home. Together."
The word "together" hung in the air, a promise of a fragile truce between two sworn enemies and fated mates but when love, betrayal, revenge and a rogue king appears can even the bond of mates with stand the devastating blow?
An Alpha female finds her inner Alpha and grows in power. Will she find her mate? Is he her true mate? What are the Rouges planning? Will her over protective Father lighten up? Will Lilly be able to keep her Alpha? Let's find out together.
Story excerpt
You would probably love my life. Believe me most people would. I have full run of the place all I could ever wish is given to me at a simple request. I train every day with the best fighters. Then I watch tv hang out with friends. Eat what ever I want. Everything you could wish for at my fingertips. So why do I hate my life you ask?
I open my door.
"Do you need anything princess?" Dalton asks from his perch outside my door.
"Will you ever go back to calling me Lilly?" I ask rolling my eyes at his formality. We grew up together and he was my best friend. Now that he works directly for my father he is bound by father's stupid rules.
"You know I can't." Dalton says as he looks at the ground "Your father would kill me"
"I'm going for a run." I say bluntly and turn my back to him. Dalton grabs my arm.
"Wait you have to get permission"
I twist out of his grasp and he grabs my other arm. Pulling me into him.
"So concerned with my father Alt? What would he say if he saw us now?" I whispered in his ear. That got his attention and he released me on the spot.
I step away and stand tall. "I could tell father and..."
"You wouldn't" Dalton says with his stupid grin I havent seen seance we were pups.
I lean in "Maybe, maybe not, who knows what might slip, Alt. You know I'm bad at keeping secrets."
"NO! Come on please. I don't want to lose my position. (or my life) You wouldn't do that to me would you Lil?"
I got him.
As soon as I heard my name slip his lips I knew I'd won. "Tit for tat Alt. I keep your secret you keep mine. Now, I AM going for a run."
Dalton rolls his eyes and reclaims his position at my door. "One hour" he says "or I'll tell your father myself!"
