Fiery Red

Ian's pov

I opened my eyes slowly as I see a bright light, groaning as I feel a strong headache, almost as if my head was split open. I looked around to see that I was hooked to an IV and I was in what looked to be a hospital room.

"He is awake!" I heard a female voice shout before someone barged into my room, worry etched into their facial features. As soon as I saw the said person, memories of a certain night flooded into my mind. How I saw a big red wolf and how it was my mate. My eyes grew wide as realization kicked in.

"Oh my God our mate is here with us" Nick almost cried out happily. I was too shocked to say anything as I saw my mate stand beside me, happiness and something else I couldn't name, in her eyes.

Before she could say anything though, someone else who looked to be a doctor came in and pleaded her to leave so that they could examine me.

What I saw next was out of a typical warewolf movie scene as I see my mate's green eyes turn almost red before she growled at the doctor and hugged me tightly. Nick howled as our mate claimed us and said "Don't you dare touch what's mine". Their heads were hung low in submission, shaking like a leaf. I would be lying if I said I didn't like her possessiveness.

"It's ok I'm going to be fine." I say as I softly look into her eyes and see her eyes slowly turn into their natural green color. Everyone present let out a noticeable sigh as my mate left me to the hands of the doctors. However, before she closed the door, she turned and smiled at me.

"I'll see you soon baby" she says as she winked. My face grew red at her words, something that has never happened before.

After the doctors examine me quite thouroughly, the familiar chocolate and pine smell filled the air immediately signalling me of my mate. She came in confidentally and stood beside me.

"What's your name?". I blushed as I remembered the fact that I knew nothing about her, yet she has become my everything almost immediately.

"Ian Rowan Marcus" I say as I looked at her soft gaze.

"What's yours?" I ask slightly confused as to why I was so nervous infront of her. My eyes grew wide and my heart skipped a beat as she answered .

"Natalia Madaline Ruby" .

Natalia Madaline Ruby. Also known as the "Fiery Red" among the warewolf community. The strongest female Alpha in the world. She was the Alpha of our neighbouring pack, Silver Moon, but only a few have seen her since the pack likes to keep to themself. She was famous for her combat skills and could defeat even a strong male Alpha within a few minutes. Needless to say, most of the warewolf community is scared of her.

I was speechless and stunned by this new piece of information that I didn't hear her say "We'll be going home in thirty minutes". My attention is soon caught as she kisses the back of my hands and leaves the room.

After an hour, I found myself in a black Tesla with my mate right next to my seat as she held my hand as if I would disappear any moment. Familiar trees pass by as my house got closer and came into view.

Before I opened the door however, I heard her say "you're coming with me to our pack, love. Bid your parents good bye for now."

"When can I return" my voice is almost a whisper as she says "whenever you like my love. They're your parents and your happiness is my top priority" she says as she kisses my hands.

I feel sadness seep through me as I walked towards my home.

I already know that my life has been changed completely now. Being mated to an Alpha was the last thing anyone would have expected but I can't help but feel excited for what the future holds for me and my mate.
