Chapter 8: Fucking human town
Nathaniel
I hate humans, and I hated going to the human town. They were weak, losers... a wolf didn't need them and never would.
But there are things you have to do even if you don't want to. And we had problems to solve and that was a priority.
We had a Rouge situation. Not only had my pack suffered an attack many years ago that I could not forget, but several warriors and friends had died. But now it seemed to be happening more and more often and had to be stopped as soon as possible.
"Michael, I hope everything is prepared, and the borders are secure," I said to our warrior leader. He was a middle-aged man now, but we trusted him so much.
"Everything is as you requested, I assure you that you can leave without any problems ... Alpha," he replied, polite but also ... perhaps a little cold.
I had always liked Michael, he was an excellent warrior, but also a good man. He had lost his mate a long time ago and had held on because he had two twins who depended on him and also her... the human girl. He defended her even when she was not his real daughter, he defended her even after so many years. It made no sense to me. I don't like to think about her.
I think maybe I would like to have a father like him, caring and kind. But maybe alphas cannot be like that. We alphas needed to face challenges, to be strong, to let others know that no matter what happened, we would take care of it. Strength over heart.
Everything seemed normal until my wolf hunter started to get restless... much more than usual.
"Son, you're already at an age where your wolf will go crazy if he doesn't find his mate, you just have to choose a respectable woman and make her your Luna," my father used to say.
I resisted, thinking that I should only be with my mate. But for a few years now, the mating situation in many packs has become more and more difficult, and many have simply chosen their mates.
It was even rarer to find the true mate, it was almost an exception, almost a miracle. So I was about to give up, there was no way I could be an Alpha without Luna.
"Something is going on in this town," Hunter told me from the moment we arrived.
"These stupid humans... I still can't believe how they live. I guess if we werewolves wanted to... we could rule them, and they'd be like our slaves...." says Alpha Marco.
"I'd especially like to rule the human girls... they won't be like us, but I guess they're okay for a bit of fun," another Alpha said, and I heard laughter.
Our pack didn't like humans, but we had no intention of harming them.
But for some time now, Alpha Marco and others have been making proposals to the Council to treat humans differently.
The Crimson Fangs pack of Marco's family was powerful, but most of all, they were feared.
I remember how they helped us during that terrible time for my pack and my family. That attack destroy us... I'll never forget it. So, I didn't agree with that pack, but we were good allies. Wolves need each other. "Marco annoys me sometimes," said Alpha Asher, one of the most respected and with whom I felt most in tune. He was powerful and had a large pack.
"I have to admit he has some very extreme ideas," I say, but in general I tried to keep up with the rest of the Alphas.
"Well, this is just a normal meeting..." Asher says, and I think so... but suddenly, my wolf was paralyzed from one moment to the next.
My heart was pounding, my hands were sweating, and in general my body was telling me that something was about to happen, even if I didn't know how to put it into words.
"Mate! Mate!" Hunter started repeating over and over.
"What?"
"You heard me! Mate is here!" Hunter repeats annoyed.
Wolves can be wrong about a lot of things, but not about this.
And then... I felt it... the most exquisite scent in the world.
It was a delicious smell of chocolate and strawberries, and I truly believed it could bring me back to life from the grave.
"Mate! Mate!" Hunter was now roaring and howling desperately for me to come and follow that fabulous smell.
And in those brief seconds, as I made my way to the entrance of the restaurant where we were to meet. "Maybe one of the Alphas had brought a sister, or even a female Beta" I say to Hunter. I delighted on the idea to have a powerful mate, a true mate from a good lineage, mighty and powerful.
I shivered as I clearly heard my name, a melodious voice called me. I knew instantly that it was my mate who was calling my name.
Would she recognize me? How could she?
"Mate is calling us, what are you waiting for?" urged Hunter and I walked on trying to keep my composure when I saw who it was a few steps away. No, no... it couldn't be. No her.
She wasn't a she-wolf, no good linage, but besides that, I... I already knew her.
I had kicked her out of the pack myself. I had flashes of her brown eyes crying and her father and brothers screaming as I grabbed her arm.
Penelope was her name, I couldn't forget.
"Mate!" Hunter yells again, forcing me to go to her.
I remembered how we laughed at her and the names we called her.
A chubby, human girl. Was she my mate? Really?
She had always seemed to me a very simple and kind girl. She had a pretty face with flushed cheeks, an innocent look, lips like strawberries, and dark blonde hair that seemed to glow.
The closer I got, there was no doubt that the smell came from her. I could see those big brown eyes looking at me in terror.
"She is our mate! We have to tell everyone! No one can take our mate away from us! Our Luna!" Hunter yelled at me. She was panicking. And she hated me... obviously.
Did it have to be a human? And.... her of all people? I wondered bitterly.
She was taking several steps back. Her face was beautiful...with each passing minute, she seemed more beautiful to me. Fuck! "You... can't be..." I murmured.
I couldn't believe that my mate had been in this fucking human town for so long!
"Are you okay? Is something wrong?" Roger asked me.
"She's ...."
"Fuck yeah I know man... that traitor," he says and I freeze.
"Come on, let's sit over here," he says, and even when other alphas are talking about important things, the reality is that all I can think about is her.
"What the fuck are you doing! We have to go to mate! Mark her! Mating with her!" Hunter was driving me crazy.
"She's a human hunter...and an enemy of the pack!" I kept telling him.
"She's our mate...the moon goddess put her in our way for a reason."
"She can't be our Luna," I said, but my wolf didn't understand logic.
Maybe my father was right, and I was losing my mind. Maybe I should have chosen a mate earlier so that this wouldn't have happened. I would only see her and feel... disgust. But it was too late.
I know I had two choices: reject her and live my life knowing that I had found my mate and turned my back on her. Or I could accept her and face my pack and all the hatred that could come from giving them such a Luna.
I couldn't...I was an Alpha...and my pack came first.
I didn't even remember what I was doing when I found myself walking, following her wonderful scent.
I was going to do the only logical thing: I had to reject her, right here, right now. I thought I had options...but I didn't.
I approached what appeared to be a bathroom, and there I saw her.
By the goddess... I felt out of breath at the sight before me. And all my resolutions fell like a house of cards.
She had the most tempting curves I had ever seen in my life, I felt like my eyes were going to pop out, and I looked her up and down, enjoying every part of her body and I knew immediately that this woman was going to be the death of me. She looked terrified as I leaned in desperately to get more of her scent.
And when I put my nose to her neck...I realized there was no doubt about it...she was mine. My long awaited mate.
I heard her talking, but I could only focus on the fact that she couldn't go out like this in front of everyone.
I couldn't let another Alpha see her like that... the tight clothes, her breast coming out of the shirt, no, no. I would rather die.
She argued, and it was obvious she didn't want me there, but when I took off my shirt, I could see her eyes going to my body. It's seems that she was not so indifferent to my physique, we wolves have always been very attractive to humans. Good... very good.
"Take off your clothes," I told her in an authoritative voice, and when she objected, I practically ripped her shirt off.
Of course, then I realized that I had made a big mistake, because now she was practically half-naked in front of me.
And I couldn't believe that I once thought she was a disgusting girl, or that I laugh when I hear jokes about her human figure.
She was fucking beautiful. Her curves were the sin on earth.
Penelope's breasts popped out from her accelerated breathing, her dark blonde hair fell down her arms and I could see further down her wide hips. I had to fight the desperate desire to take her right here, right now.
And any thought of rejecting her... was completely forgotten.
The fear she had of me tore me apart, but I took it upon myself to arrange her clothes and take advantage to caress her soft, sensual curves that gave me an instant hard-on
Of course, it quickly dawned on me that...it was quite obvious that she didn't want me. Penelope quickly ran off to get away from me.
I was left panting, with a massive, painful erection, looking at myself in the mirror.
I was so screwed.
