New Alpha

Unknown POV

Three years ago

I ran as fast as I could right into the already collapsing house. Where were my mom and dad? Where were the Alpha and Luna?

Oh Goddess.

I sent Allison in here to find her mom.

Where the f*ck is Allison?!

Panic stricken, I tried to run up the stairs, but as soon as the weight of my wolf hit them, they crumbled to the ground.

I quickly shifted back into my human form and tried to climb up what was left of the railing.

All of a sudden, I felt two sets of arms trying to grab me and pull me out of the house.

As I was trying to throw them off of me, the warrior whose voice I recognized from earlier, entered my mind again.

Beta, stop! The fire is out of control, this place is going to collapse at any moment. We are trying to save you! We managed to get Luna Rachel and a few others out. They are in critical condition in the hospital. You have to get out now!

Realizing that Allison might be among the people saved, I gave in and rushed out of the house with the warriors.

As soon as we were out, the house went crumbling down into nothing.

Running to the pack hospital, I burst through the doors and started my search. I see pack members that are covered in soot, some with burn marks and some already bandaged. Thankfully, werewolves heal fast, so most of them should be out by the end of the day.

Sniffing the air, trying to find my precious mate, but all I could smell was smoke.

Racing down each hallway ripping open every curtain, trying to find her.

Finally, I found Luna Rachel.

She was hooked up to a ventilator machine and I saw a huge silver sword sticking out of her, dangerously close to her heart. Silver and wolfsbane are werewolves' weaknesses.

Luna Rachel has always been like a second mom to me. Seeing her in this condition brought pain to my heart.

The lead pack doctor walked in at that moment.

"Dr.Winston, is she going to make it? Have you seen Allison? What about my parents? What about Alpha Chase?" I fired multiple questions at him, anxiety fueling my veins.

"Luna Rachel will not make son. I'm sorry. The sword is coated with wolfsbane and touching her heart. If we try to remove it, it will kill her instantly. The warriors mind linked me that you were coming. We wanted to let you have a moment with her before we removed it. She's not in pain right now, we have put her on a drip to ease the pain, but I'm afraid she can't stay like this much longer as she is suffering. I haven't seen Allison, Alpha or your parents. I'm truly sorry. I will give you some time alone with her. Let me know when you are done."

With that, he left the room, leaving me alone with Luna Rachel.

As I approached her bed, she opened her eyes. They were filled with sadness.

She tried reaching for me with a shaky hand. I immediately took it into my own.

Oh my dear...

She said into my mind, her voice sounding weak even through the link.

Yes, Luna, what is it? I replied back

Your parents, Alpha Chase...

She flinched when she said Alpha Chase, her mate.

What is it? What happened Luna?

They are gone my sweet boy, I am so ... so sorry.

Before I could add anything else, she continued.

You will become Alpha. Take care of our pack.

She said, her voice growing weaker by the second.

Wait Luna, Allison? What about Allison? I sent her up to see you. I'm so sorry, I didn't know this would happen.

I asked, tears threatening to spill from my eyes.

Allison, she's not...

All of a sudden, I heard the sound of her faint heartbeat turn into a flatline on her monitor.

Luna? Luna? No no no, you can't be gone.

I could feel her hand go limp in mine. I knew she was gone. I didn't want to believe it.

Where was Allison? What was Luna trying to tell me? Is she gone too?

My parents, Alpha Chase. The people I have loved my entire life are gone in the blink of an eye.

Dr. Winston came in at that moment, "I'm sorry to put this on you so soon son, we need to make arrangements for our lost ones. This was a planned assassination." He said, sadness in his tone.

"She said my parents are gone, Alpha Chase is gone. Who will lead? I'm not ready for this." I asked, the tears that had threatened to fall, finally streaming down my face as reality set in.

"You have trained for this position your entire life, you are the most prepared out of everyone. You can do this, your pack believes in you, I believe in you." He says as he grasps my shoulder in his hand in a show of affection.

The responsibility of being Alpha falls to me. I need to get it together and be the leader the pack deserves. I straightened my back and tried to hide the sorrow fighting to escape me.

"We need to find out who did this. I need warriors searching every centimeter of the pack house for evidence once that fire is out. I want doubled border patrol. I need funeral arrangements made for my family and our late Alpha and Luna. Put out of pack-wide link, I need this started now." I said in a cold closed-off tone, even though on the inside I wanted to scream and let my pain be free.

My wolf is hiding in the back of my head, even this pain is too much for him to bear.

"Yes Alpha, right away." Dr.Winston stated as he put out the mind-link to everyone in our pack, informing them of my orders.

Exiting the hospital, I started to run, no direction in mind.

After running for what felt like hours, I approached the small waterfall close to the pack borders. I finally let myself feel the sadness, far away from the members that I'm supposed to lead now.

How could I have sent Allison into the house?

I sent her to her death. It's my fault. All my fault. I fell to my knees, head in hands and started sobbing.

I sent our mate, our beautiful mate, in there. She died because of me.

I should just have told her the truth and she would still be here. How could I be so stupid?

Just as I was about to let out a heartbreaking howl to release the pain built up inside of me.

A smell hit me.

Lavender and freshly picked roses.

Allison.
