Mated To The Beastly Alpha

Nicole stood in the centre of the pack's training ground, her breaths coming in rough gasps as she tried to keep up with the others. Sweat dripped down her face, and her muscles ached with every movement. She was panting heavily as she took a break from the rigorous training. Her muscles ached, and she felt like collapsing on the ground. She had never been this tired in her life.

She began to ask herself why she wandered into the training arena in the first place. She should have stayed away like she had been doing since the training began. But she was drawn to Liam, and her wolf ached to see him, so she decided to take a look, and now she wanted to faint.

Garrett winked, and she immediately understood what it meant. The personal training she had been doing with him was nothing compared to this. She looked around and saw the other pack members still training with Alpha Liam, who seemed to be enjoying their exertions.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and took a deep breath. "I can do this," she whispered to herself, trying to muster up the strength to continue.

"Are you okay, Nicole?" Alpha Liam's voice boomed in her ears, making her jump. She turned around and saw him standing behind her, his arms crossed over his chest.

"I'm fine," she replied, trying to sound confident even though her voice trembled a little.

Alpha Liam raised an eyebrow. "You don't look fine," he said,

Nicole's heart skipped as she heard the concern in his voice.

"I'm just a little tired," she admitted, looking down at the ground.

"Well, that's understandable," he said. "You've been lounging all this time, doing nothing. I'm sure you were primed and pampered as a fake Luna in Crimson."

The taunting in his voice granted her voice. Nicole wrinkled her nose. He didn't know that half of it. He knew only what she let him see. He didn't know of the mental scars Shane had left on her.

He didn't know of the physical scars Shane had left on her body. They were almost invisible because she was a werewolf, but she remembered them and she thought about them long enough until they became visible.

She didn't want him to know, but she was far from a pampered Luna. She shook her head to clear her thoughts. He would never know. He didn't deserve to know, not with the way he treated her. Besides, she didn't want anyone's pity. "Get back to work," he said and walked away.

After a while, she looked over at Alpha Liam, who was now training with the rest of the pack. His muscles rippled as he moved, and she couldn't help but be distracted by the sight of him.

Nicole felt a warm feeling in her chest at his appearance, but she quickly dismissed it. She couldn't let herself be distracted by her attraction to Liam. She reminded herself that it was the mark that was pushing her wolf. She had to focus on the training. Suddenly, Liam barked out an order. "Everyone, line up!" he said. "We're going to do some sparring drills."

Nicole groaned inwardly. She hated sparring. She was never any good at it, and she always felt embarrassed when she lost. Beta Garrett and Asha, whom she had been training with, made sure to laugh at her each time. She had yet to tell Asha about her secret job, though. Garrett decided that it was better to keep it between them.

Nicole lined up with the others, trying to push down her anxiety.

As they began throwing punches, Nicole tried to focus on her opponent. She ducked and weaved, trying to avoid his blows. But she was slow, so he landed a hit on her shoulder.

"Come on, Nicole," Liam taunted. "You're not even trying."

Nicole gritted her teeth, angry at his taunts. She knew he didn't mean anything by it, but it still stung. She tried to block out his words and focus on the fight.

As she resumed training, Nicole couldn't help but steal glances at Alpha Liam. He was so strong and powerful, and she couldn't help that her body wanted him. Her wolf was not helping either.

Sometimes, she trained with Garrett's mate, Lola, and after those sessions, she slyly asked her when the cravings would stop. Lola laughed and told her that it never did, but it got better when mates completed their bond.

Since Nicole knew that the bond between her and Liam would never be completed, she asked her how to make it fade. Lola shrugged, saying that she didn't know.

Every time Nicole made the mistake of looking at Liam as they trained, he seemed to taunt her and make fun of her.

"You call that a punch, Faux Luna?" he said, smirking at her as she tried to hit her opponent.

Nicole gritted her teeth in frustration. She knew she wasn't as strong as the other pack members, but she was doing her best. She couldn't help the fact that she was an Omega.

"Maybe if you weren't so distracted, you'd be able to hit the target," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Nicole felt a flush rise to her cheeks. She knew he was right. She couldn't focus on the training because she was too busy being distracted by him.

After a few more hours of training, Alpha Liam dismissed the pack members. As Nicole was about to leave, she felt a strange sensation wash over her. It was like a warning. Her wolf was in a frenzy. It clawed for authority over it. Nicole had never felt this way before. Suddenly, there was a commotion. She heard screams.

"Everybody, remember your training! Do not let it feed into you!" James, the chief warrior screamed.

"Move away from here," Liam's voice echoed in her head.

She saw a group of rogues jump out of the forest and attack them. All other pack members went stiff except for Liam, James, and Garrett with other warriors, who began attacking. It seemed that all the other people around them were frozen. They seemed to be spellbound by some sort of power. She could even see Liam and Garrett, James, struggling to keep control of their sanity. It was strange that she felt nothing. Taking initiative, she began to drag pack members to safety. But then something strange happened.

Nicole felt a strange energy coursing through her body. It was like something was trying to take over her mind. She stumbled and fell to the ground, clutching her head. The power surging within was very unlike the one that surrounded her. It was pure magic, unlike the one that held pack members spellbound.

Nicole struggled to her feet, feeling her wolf stir inside her. She had always been able to communicate with her wolf, but this was different. Her wolf was angry, and it was making her feel more powerful than ever before.

She watched as the other pack members fought against the witch's control, but it was different for her. She didn't feel the effects of the witch's control. Instead, she felt her wolf take over.

Her wolf surged to the surface. She felt stronger, faster, and more powerful than ever before. She let out a rumbling growl as her hazel irises turned dark with red rings around them.

Unlike every other werewolf she knew, her eyes turned red and black whenever her wolf was close to the surface, instead of gold or gold with black.

She shifted into her wolf form, surprising everyone on the field. Her fur stood on end as she let out a fierce howl, her eyes glowing with an unfamiliar light.

Alpha Liam's eyes widened in surprise as he watched Nicole transform. "What the hell?" he muttered.

Nicole's wolf form was unlike anything he had ever seen. It was larger and more powerful. It was not larger or more powerful than his, since he was from a line of very powerful wolves, but it emitted power, not dominance, and was more fierce than any other wolf in the pack. He watched in awe as she leapt into the combat, taking down her opponents with ease.

The other wolves were stunned, unsure of how to react. Nicole didn't know that her eyes, which were normally red and black, were glowing golden. She growled at the rogues who began shifting too. Nicole didn't understand what was happening to her. She could sense the witch's power and the urge to destroy it coursed through her. She sniffed the air and located the scent of the rogue who bore it. She growled at Liam, and he immediately understood her.

At once, he changed into his great midnight wolf and howled. His power frightened the rogues, causing enough distraction for Nicole's pure white wolf to leap at the source of dark magic. She aimed at the source of the power and attacked it with all her might. She caught the throat of the offending wolf and ripped it off.

At once, both the wolves and the dark magic dissipated. She could feel the power coursing through her, and it was exhausting. She howled out as the rogue wolves scampered to safety.

Liam quickly shifted back to his human form. His wolf was in a frenzy at the sight of Nicole's Majestic pure white wolf. It purred with excitement. Omegas were not supposed to be white-furred. They had normal wolf color.

He had to change back because the mark and bond seemed stronger in human form. He didn't want to do something stupid. He reminded himself that he was trying to get over the pull of the mark.

He approached Nicole cautiously, his hands held out in a gesture of peace. "Nicole," he said softly. "Are you okay?"

Nicole's wolf form snarled at him, warning him to stay back. But Alpha Liam held his ground, his eyes never leaving hers.

"Nicole," he commanded softly, lacing his voice with a little dominance.

Slowly, Nicole's wolf form began to calm down. Her fur flattened, and she shifted back into her human form. She stood before Alpha Liam, her eyes still glowing with an unfamiliar light. And then she crumbled to the ground. Liam dashed at her and grabbed her before she hit the ground.

When she came back to consciousness, Nicole's head hurt, and she felt a buzz of power within her.

"What happened?" she asked, confused.

"I think I know what happened," Alpha Liam said slowly. "You're a Witch Bane, aren't you?"

His eyes were wide with disbelief.

Nicole's eyes widened in shock. "A Witch Bane?" she repeated.

Alpha Liam nodded. "You're immune to the powers of witches and warlocks," he said. "That's why you didn't feel the effects of the attack."

Nicole shook her head, still trying to wrap her mind around what had happened. "I don't understand," she said. "I'm just an Omega. How can I be a witch bane?"

Alpha Liam shrugged. "I don't know," he said, his voice heavy with emotion. "But it's clear that you have some kind of power. We need to train you to control it. You're just what Dark Moon needs."

Nicole was dumbfounded. It was too much information.

"What?" She croaked, feeling a little dizzy.

"Don't worry," Liam murmured, holding her close.

"Warriors, scouts go after those rogues, find their entry point, and kill them all. Let none of them live. No one apart from the Dark Moon should know what we witnessed here today. It is a command. Let no rogue who attacked us now survive." Liam growled, That was the last thing Nicole heard before she fell into oblivion.
