Chapter 1

Layan

I’m running through the forest. I can hear him behind me, hear his paws hitting the earth, feel his hot breath on my neck as I run. I don’t want him to claim me, not him. He scares me.

I’d been hiding and another wolf flushed me out. When I started to run, the wolf had immediately given chase, howling his excitement to the sky It had only taken a moment for the Alpha to run him down. I had turned, just for a moment, to see the

Alpha tackle him, taking my neck in his jaws. I heard the yelp of the weaker wolf and then the sickening snap of his neck.

I’m running as hard as I can, but he is faster than I am. My only bit of hope is that he’s still in wolf form.

I run until I can’t get enough air in my lungs, tears streaming down my face.

He tackles me from behind and I scream. He has me pinned, but he can’t claim me, he’s still in wolf form. A moment after the thought goes through my head, I feel his teeth sink into my neck as he thrusts his pelvis between my legs, and I feel the sharp tearing of my body as he penetrates.

“Breathe my sweet girl. Breathe. Follow my breaths.” She says, as she takes my face in her hands and forces me to look at her. She slowly breaths in, her eyes never leaving mine. I try. I try to follow her breaths, but I can’t. It’s still so fresh in my mind, still so painful.

talked to Elijah last night, so I knew he’d be here today as a support for me. I asked him if he thought they would let me choose him as my mate. He said he didn’t think so. He said he thought the other Alphas would want a chance to claim me, and so the council wouldn’t be willing to just let me choose. I had started to cry, but Elijah told me that no matter how many Alphas he had to beat to get to me, that he would be the
