Chapter2

#Chapter2

My wolf was absolutely exhilarated to have finally met our soul mate, a part of me was relieved and equally excited but I also was not ready to give up my life of freedom and independency for my mate and even worse was that he was an Alpha. Alpha's were notorious for being extremely territorial and controlling of their mates, some people dreamt to have an Alpha mate, but I was not one of those people.

/"NOOOO!!/" I screamed and shifted. I wasn't concerned with the fact that I just shredded my clothes all I cared about was escaping from this nightmare. Before my mother died she always told me that ai was different and special from other wolves, one reason was because I had Alpha blood in me so my wolf was twice the size of the average wolf, the other reason she never really told me. I aggressively shoved a wolf that happened to be in front of me out of the way and darted away from the group.

As I made my escape all I could focus on was the whimpering and whining of my wolf spirit begging for me to go back to our mate, to not run away from him and just accept him but I couldn't do that, it was asking me of too much. Not only did it mean to give up my lone freedom and become the leader of a pack but it also meant putting my trust into someone that I didn't know, I couldn't trust anyone. I felt something slam hard into my side knocking me head first into a nearby tree where I soon noticed stampeding steps coming towards me before finally slipping into unconsciousness.

I woke up gasping for air as I immediately sat up and began surveying my surroundings. The sun was shining through the window and I noticed I was in someone's bedroom. It was such an enormous room and it had a lingering familiar sent that seemed to calm my senses and bring tranquility to my mind. I surveyed the room, it didn't seem very personalized, it was just a white room with dark oak furniture such as a wardrobe, end tables on either side of this Queen bed which also had a dark oak frame to it. I bunched up the blanket around me when I realized the entire time I was naked. I looked over and noticed clothes were folded neatly next to me, they looked slightly small for me but I soon began to realize that this smell that was calming me was the scent of my mate and this must have been his room I was in. I quickly scurried to put the clothes on and hurried to the door where I realized I was locked inside. I began panicking, past traumas began to arise in my mind, images and memories of unpleasant moments began to fill me and before I knew it a gush of energy seemed to swell in my bones and I took this opportunity to use it and kick the door down. It flew off of the hinges and ran out of the room and down a very long hallway where I entered what appeared to be a living room with a group of people gathered inside, looking at me with confusion and amazement.

So this must be the pack house of that Alpha which meant I was currently a rogue inside of an unknown Alpha's territory.

I continued to ignore the stares as I ran out of the pack house and my vision darted towards the entrance of the forest, past the buildings and civilization. I immediately shifted and began running towards my freedom once more, plotting my escape when I felt myself being roughly pushed off course and sent flying into the opposite direction. Slightly dazed I picked myself up off of the ground and instantly got into attack stance. My attacker was tall with jet black hair, slightly long but not as long as mine, his skin was slightly darker than the Alpha's naturally tanned and I couldn't deny that he was gorgeous, just not as gorgeous as my mate.

I couldn't believe I just said that to myself.

'Do not deny destiny, you know in your heart you wish to give our mate a chance and see the type of man he is, do not deny your attraction to him' my wolf spirit said to me.

It was times like this where she felt useless to me, separate spirits so we had separate opinions on things even though we usually agreed on the same things except for this one thing.

Mate.

/"Someone call for the Alpha and tell him the rogue is attempting to escape!/" My attacker said.

I didn't want to see him, I didn't want to melt at his feet just because we were destined to be together, I wanted to run away, far away so that our mate connection would severe and we would be separated for good, I knew the moment I saw him I would hesitate, I would think of how my life would possibly be if I just stay with him. I didn't want to give in.

So I snapped.

I charged at the man in front of my trying to hold me hostage but I pinned him to the ground, my enormous body weight on top of him, restricting him from attacking me or moving from under me. He held his arms up to shield his face but I could see in his hazel eyes the fear that clouded his mind.

I felt a warm hand comb through my fur, sending shivers of delight throughout my body. I always imagined the touch of your mate to be electrifying and magical almost, this didn't feel like it but it still felt nice. I lightly whimpered as I felt his hand travel up to my ear where he pulled on it gently and leaned forward, his breath swaying the fur around my ear.

/"Could you please shift for me Love?/" He whispered into my ear.

For some reason that angered me. I didn't want him calling me love. I didn't want to be called his. I wanted to be my own person. I was conflicted, I knew deep down inside I wanted to be loved, I wanted that love and affection that was stolen from me when my parents were murdered. But I didn't want to belong to anyone. I just wanted to be alone.

I turned to snap and growl in his face before facing forward to attempt to run again. I felt something grab my tail with a firm grip and pull hard to the point a shooting pain shot through my spine as I immediately sat down to relieve the pain. I whimpered in pain as I turned around to see his face.

Pain, hurt and anger were all clear on his face and for some reason it saddened me.

/"Shift now!/" He boomed in his Alpha tone. The Alpha tone was a special authoritative voice that only Alpha born's were able to use to control and direct their pack members, depending on how strong the Alpha was, they could even use it on those who weren't even apart of their pack.

I saw no way out for myself and my wolf was making it harder and harder for me to stay focused to plan an escape, constantly begging and whining for me to just stay. I slowly began to shift until I was left lying in the grass naked, nothing but my arms to shield me but fortunately my mate came over to drape a blanket around me so that I wasn't exposed to the elements but I didn't thank him.

/"What is your name?/" He asked me as I snatched the blanket form him.

I ignored him.

/"Why did you run away from me?/" He asked me.

I continued to ignore him.

/"Answer my questions!/" He yelled at me.

I looked up at him with disgust and an appalling facial expression. How dare he think he could just yell at me like I were some nobody.

/"My name is Iris and I ran away from you because I don't need someone like you as my mate forcing me into a life I don't want and I won't stop until I escape./" I spat up at him.

A hurt expression flashed across his face and my wolf immediately wanted me to take my words back but I was not backing now.

/"I don't give a damn what you think you're going to do, I will do whatever it takes to keep you here with me./" He said angrily.

He noticed I began shivering from the cold as the sun began to set and night time was beginning to dawn on us. He came over to scoop me up in his arms, I flinched at his touch at first but I couldn't help but sink into the warmth of his arms. He carried me back into the pack house but this time into a new room where he gently placed me down onto the bed and closed the door behind him.

Before either of us could say anything, there was an immediate knock on the door, my mate quickly opened the door revealing my attacker from earlier now looking furious.

/"Alpha Damien is there a reason why you are keeping a dirty rogue in our pack house? Many of us were curious to know./" He asked.

So my mate's name was Damien.

/"There is no need to insult her, Blake, she was just scared in confused so why don't you go and mind your damn business, make sure to tell the others to stay out of the Alpha's business,/" Damien growled.

Blake bowed and walked away. As Damien slammed the door shut he turned to me with an enraged expression to his face.

/"You won't even give me a chance to show you the type of person I am, you've already decided you don't want me as a mate?! Why don't you want be my mate! Do you think out of all the beautiful she-wolves in my pack I would pick a possibly dangerous rogue like you?!/" He screamed at me.

He turned around walked out the room and slammed the door shut before I could even get a word in. He was upset and he was right, I didn't even give him a chance to show me the kind of person he truly was but I didn't want him to show me, I just wanted to be alone, something inside me told me that I deserved to be alone and that it was better that way. It was true, I've been alone this entire time and I didn't want to change that.

Tired and defeated I climbed off of the bed and sat in the corner of the room where I laid my head against the wall and thought about the recent events before finally drifting to sleep.
