1 The alpha king and his mate.

I sat quietly by the edge of the river letting the sounds of it bubbling over the rocks releasing my pent up anxiety. today is the day I can find my mate I am officially 18. I doubt that I'll find him for years but I am not sure I want a mate to be honest I saw what it did to my sister when she was rejected by him, her heart was so broken that her and her wolf both curled up and stopped living. I am scared that my mate will be a horrible and reject me or accept me and abuse me. there is so many ways it could go wrong I could be subjected to so many things. I throw a rock into the river and stand my pale naked body glowing in the moonlight. Summoning my wolf Amethyst I transform into my black and silver form I am marked like a husky which is extremely rare, out of all the wolves I've seen in my life I've never seen another marked like me.

I trot home at a brisk pace branches brushing my fur. I approach the big dark house and trigger the sensor light on the front lawn I transform back into my human form at the front door and let myself inside I quickly check the whole house for intruders just incase. after locking all the doors and windows I wonder into the bathroom and turn on the shower as I wait for it to warm up I look at my reflection. My half red brown, half silver blond hair hangs all the way to my butt in gentle waves scattered with small leaves and twigs from the forest. My naked pale figure was lean with large perky boobs and proportionate hips. I turn and hop into the steaming stream of water as I try to relax I feel a strange pulling sensation urging me to get out of the shower and check the front porch. Not being one to ignore my instincts I shut the water off and quickly slip into a long silk robe. I make my way through the house picking up one of the swords I keep around the house for emergencies.

as I reach the door a scent catches my attention.

'mate' Amethyst squels waking from her slumber.

'play it cool girl we don't want to come on to strong' I reply trying to calm my own nerves.

Aries POV.

Another visit to another pack lead by a egotistical alpha. I can't seem to get a break to find her, my mate the only wolf that can calm the pacing beast inside of me.

'I need to run before this meeting' my wolf Onyx reminds me.

nodding in agreement. I turn to my driver and Beta Rhys 'let's stop here I need to run before the meeting or I may not be able to stay in check'

'OK man I got you' he says pulling into a small parking lot at the start of a trail.

sliding out of the car smoothly I put my suit in a bag and transform into my pure black wolf. after trotting through the forest I spot her sitting naked by the river. her hair covering her perfect figure. suddenly she stands and stairs directly into my soul thinking she has seen me I prepare to step from the darkness when she turns into a elegant silver and black wolf and disappears into the woods. I wait for a few seconds to make sure she is gone and go to the spot where she was.

'mate' Onyx bellows in my head urging me to follow the intoxicating sweet cherry scent through the forest.

'Rhys I've found her my mate she was just here' I mindlink him excitedly. 'Well let's go find our queen' he links back bouncing with excitement.

we move slowly as not to catch up to her. we reach the edge of the forest just in time to see her transform and unlock the front door of an exquisite old house. we quickly run the full perimeter around the house looking for other scents but neither of us could find one. I mindlink the men I left behind my location so they can bring the car over.

inside the tree line I change into my human form and throw on the plain black shorts tied around my calf I approach the front of the house slowly and loudly until I reached the front porch steps. I could hear a shower running somewhere in the house shut off and doors slamming. through the frosted glass door window I see a bright purple figure approach the door and flip on the powerful outdoor lights blinding me.

'who are you?' her angelic voice rings through my head.

'My name is King Aries, and I believe you are my mate' I state kneeling with my eyes on the ground.

'Shit!' she curses I hear the door open and switches flick diming the lights to a comfortable level. I look up the steps to see my mate dressed in a bright purple floor length silk robe, I noticed the silver sword in her hand and her dripping wet hair. I can't make out her features clearly as the light is behind her.

'My king I am not worthy to be your mate' she says stepping back towards the door.

I stand quickly and close the space between us reaching for her.

'None of that matters you are my fated mate and I will not stop until you agree to be mine' I say dropping to my knees holding her free hand. 'I want you to treat me as your mate not the king I am just a regular wolf with you and only you'
