He has it all, caring parents, mischievous and intolerable siblings, loyal friends, and a pack, last but not the least a goddess-given mate who was everything to him. He waited for her for years and when he first saw her with big innocent green eyes he forgot everything and drowned in them. They didn't waste any time and mated. He was content with his personal and professional life. Being an alpha to the biggest pack in entire America is not a small thing but he always takes out time from his busy schedule for his mate. Everything is going well but he was struck so hard by the murder of his mate who was going to be with him forever in their immortal life but death played a cruel joke on them and took his mate away in a short time. He didn't know the reason why and how his mate died but he made the mission to find out the truth behind his mate's death. He turned himself into a ruthless beast who doesn't have mercy in his dictionary. He loses himself in his revenge that he forgot how to live. He is not going to rest up until he finds the people who murderd his mate so ruthlessly. She is the rogue queen who doesn't have any family or siblings but a loyal pack of rogues and friends whom she finds in the way of her traveling throughout the world. She didn't choose to be the queen but her people made her their queen because she is fierce, regal, strong, and soft. Rogues are considered to be maniacs and uncontrolled wolves but the rogues under her are the kindest and normal wolves who were abandoned or banished by their packs. They all are very loyal to their queen. According to the elders of werewolves, rogues don't have the chance in finding their mates as they don't usually live in a pack, and she lost hope in mates when she first heard about not having the chance of finding her mate as a rogue. How will they end up together?
Alpha Zayreen's Pov:
"I can hear her giggles and her sweet voice calling my name, we were running outside the packhouse. I was chasing her trying to hold her but she was dodging my every attempt, sneakily giggling every time I failed to catch her."
" We were sitting under the tree and I was laying my head in her lap and her fingers running through my hair making me sigh. My eyes were filled with admiration and love for her."
The scene changed from the tree to the dark alley where she is on my lap covered with blood and on the verge of dying. Her beautiful face is contorted with pain and longing. I started begging her to stay with me and fight but slowly the life dimmed from her eyes leaving empty eyes.
"Lena!"
I woke up startled, sweat covered my entire body and I was gasping for air. I clutched my heart trying to steady my fast heartbeat. This was the daily routine of the past five years and every time I am consumed with the same amount of pain and anguish.
Another sleepless night for me and I checked the time and the red angry numbers glared at me taunting me that it was 3 a.m. I entered the bathroom to wash away whatever bitter thoughts were lingering.
This is so normal for me, waking up by my haunting nightmares and not sleeping again till the night when I will be woken awake by the same nightmares. This cycle will never end.
I blasted the shower into the cold water and stood under it like a numb human body that doesn't know any pain or feelings. It is true because everything pleasant and human died the day she died taking away everything with her and leaving behind an empty shell.
Blocking away everything helps me to get through the day but my wolf makes it so damn hard to block everything which reminds me of her and our memories as he misses her a lot more than me. He changed so much than me, became a beast, and lusted for blood. I thought I would be insane like any other wolf whose mate died but my wolf was a lot stronger than I thought and something made him sane as much as I can think we are one of the biggest and strongest packs in America slapping across everyone's faces who doubted my alpha duties after my mate died.
Starting my day so early that everyone is not new to me and helps me to get the work done before the time and I can concentrate on other things and make my pack better and stronger.
I didn't make any sounds while stepping down the stairs, my office is located on the ground floor surrounded by the kitchen and some other rooms occupied by some of the pack members. I live in a pack house that can clearly be cut out for a mansion with my Beta, Gamma, and other members of the pack.
The pack house usually buzzes with people coming in and out of the house, kids playing, and sounds of utensils coming from the kitchen but I always have ave that deafening silence in me even with all the noises and people around me and I love the actual silence in the pace where I can actually breathe without anyone breathing down my neck.
I was at the last step of the stairs and I was hit by the familiar scent of honey and citrus mixed with an expensive sweet perfume which made my nose burn. I rolled my eyes internally grumbling and cursing my luck at what was about to happen.
" Zay!" she has a genuine surprise on her face seeing me down here. I gave her a small smile and opened my mouth to explain my presence but she beat me to it and started talking.
" No problem, actually I was coming to meet you but I caught you down here." she giggled over excitedly, and my wolf growled in my head reading her intentions very clearly. He doesn't like the company of other women and I have no problem with his choice. I am very much thankful to him that we agree on one thing.
" Umm, Why? Do you need something?" I asked, feigning innocence because I don't want to water what she is feeding herself about me.
" I just wanted to see you and make sure you are fine." she took steps towards me while I took a step back to not let her get too close to me. She covered the hurt caused by my action with a seductive smile and took another step making me clench my teeth with annoyance and anger.
" I can practically smell your intentions, Jules, and like always I am not interested in anything you offer." She is my father's beta's daughter and we grew up together. She was a good and nice girl with whom I hung out a few times but she was coming onto me every damn chance she got and trying to seduce me.
" Why don't you give me a chance to prove myself, Zayreen? I can be a good mate and good luna to this pack. I lived here all my life and I know how to lead the pack along with you and we will make a strong pair." my wolf and I growled loudly at her audacity to spew the nonsense. If it is not her in the place I would have ripped their throat but because of her father, I'm letting her go.
" You are lucky that I owe your father for saving my father otherwise I would have ripped your head from your torso." My wolf is itching to come out and do the same thing I am warning about but I need to calm myself down before we do something we regret after.
" But Zay...." I didn't give her the chance to utter any more words before pinning her with my intense glare with my alpha aura oozing out from me making her submit to me.
" This is the last warning Jules, if you try this nonsense again then I will banish you from the pack and make you a rogue." she visibly gulped and her eyes widened at my threat and she knows that I don't make empty promises.
" Do I make myself clear?" I poured my alpha tone and she cowered some more and nodded her head with a murmur of, " Yes, Alpha!"
I didn't wait anymore and stormed towards my office to get started with the day but my day was already ruined and I hope it didn't get worse by the end of the day otherwise my wolf will kill someone for sure.
Half of the day went in a blur and my head was in the files the entire time approving the wolves who wanted to join the pack and check out the stats of the business I had in human territory. My stomach growled loud making me remember I hadn't had breakfast and it was the time for lunch. I grudgingly stood up from the chair but I was stopped by the slam of the door and my beta barged in hurriedly.
" Alpha! We have sniffed some rogues near our borders and our trackers are trying to catch them before they enter our territory." My beta Silas informed me, making me stiffen hearing the word I despise the most.
" I don't want any of them to live more than a second when our trackers hunt them down," I ordered him firmly going back to my work.
My thoughts were interrupted by Silas barging into my office not even a minute after I dismissed him.
" Alpha! We have a problem!" He didn't meet my eyes and bowed his head.
" What is it?" I asked with narrowed eyes, waiting to hear what he had brought this time.
" Our trackers were attacked by the rogues and....." I didn't let him finish before I stood up from my chair and banged on the table, startling him.
" What? Who has the nerve to attack the Crimson pack?" I growled out, my wolf wanting to come out and kill whoever decides to defy us.
" Lead the way beta, they better run and hide before I catch them unless they don't want their heads attached to their bodies." I took long strides toward the rogues who didn't know what was coming for them.
When we reached our borders I was hit by a mouth-watering coconut and jasmine mixed smell which had my wolf purring and pacing excitedly.
The smell had become stronger and stronger until I found the source of the smell, who is standing in all her glory with deep gray eyes which has a storm brewing in them and they are fixated on me like mine.
I gritted out the word "Mate" which will change everything for me and I scoffed at the moon goddess and her absurdity because she is playing with me again.
