Chapter 7 - The High Alpha

...... Ashlie......…...

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" the sound of water moving

Upcharatmak, it's currents were gentle, parting my fur in different directions. The water seeped through my coat, eventually reaching my skin, it felt cool to the touch. Oh, I wished I could stay in this river but alas, the chase was still on.

I hope Seth doesn't mind taking a swim.

Wolves typically love the water. We feel very comfortable and don't hesitate to wade through icy streams or swim across short stretches of lakes. However, Seth was one to hesitate, he never cared for the water very much, complaining it would take his fur forever to dry. However, tonight was different, would it actually stand in his way?

I made it to the river bank with not even a moment to spare. My ears flickered from the cries of water being disturbed.

"SPLASH"

Oh no, Seth! How could that be? I left him a good few feet behind me from when I did the spine out. At this rate he's bound to catch me, or so I thought.

I didn't think to look behind me, my muscles started to burn as I continued to run. Hmm, I wonder if that's what Seth meant every time he said "Get ready to feel the burn." before a run. Urgh, I can't stop thinking about him.

"Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat" sounds of paws hitting the ground

He's moving fast.

Oh no, he's closing in.

"ARF" I yelped

A brute force crashed down on top of my body, sending my chest slamming into the ground. It felt like a 100 pound bag of rice had just fallen on top of my back. Why the aggressive behavior? The air dispersed from beneath our weight, causing dust and small particles of soil to fly.

It hit me, a scent of rain, earth and mint combined. It was a sweet alluring scent but it wasn't his. Who caught me?

"AWWOOOOooooooo"

The howl sounded victorious. What am I, a trophy?

I started to reveal my pearly whites, scrunching up my nose and delivering a harsh growl as I turned my head to see who it was.

My eyes widened at the discovery. No, it couldn't be ............…..

The luminous moon helped to give his figure shape. His fur jet black, blending in with the dark like he was a part of it. Well, almost, his eyes were his betrayal.

Unlike most wolves who have the typical yellow eyes, our alpha's shine like sapphire's; blue gems found in Myanmar. They felt like they were piercing through my walls, breaking them down and discovering my attempt to fight my sexual needs.

His muscles tugged at the corner of his lips, making him grin. He looked pleased like he had just caught the prey of the day. My growls did not subside, causing his grin to fade.

He delivered a harsh snarl in return "GRRRRR." It was his way of telling me to submit.

I could feel his paws pressing into my back, pinning me down even harder. He was stating his authority perfectly clear but I didn't care.

Heat was radiating off his body, he was not pleased. No one dared to challenge the High Alpha, and with good reason. He is a roughthless animal taking down anyone who dared to defy his order, but so what was stopping him now?

My persistent growling received a very negative response, I was asking for it. He snapped his fangs just an inch away from my muzzle. His jaws made a horrific crunch when his teeth collided, it was a warning. I shifted my ears back in protest as my growling started to subside .

Nothing could prepare me for what happened next. A shooting pain where my neck meets my shoulder made me gasp. His fangs were sinking in, piercing through my flesh layer by layer, it was enough to make me whimper.

The High Alpha had just bestowed his mark!

Blood began to trickle, staining the forest floor red. Out of all the females, why me?

I could feel the vibration from his growls even as he pulled away.

"Shift" he demanded

I shook my head no in response

He began to snarl "SHIFT!" he demanded again

I rolled my eyes before shifting into my human form. While I shifted the pressure on my back disappeared. He had backed away and shifted into his own human form.

Now, we stood before each other completely barren with no clothes to conceal our bodies. I had never seen the High Alpha in human form before, this was a first. His body was the full 9 yards, biceps, pecks, abs. The view was enough to make my temperature rise.

"What is your name?" he asked, his tone now somewhat soft as he approached.

I backed away until I felt a hard surface, a tree was blocking my exit.

"Now, you think it is the right time to ask my name?!" I shot back at him while I held my hand against the mark.

His muscles tensed in aggression, making his body appear larger as he progressed forward, my response clearly angered him. I looked left and right, debating which side to choose and run, but before I could he had me pinned.

He took my wrists into his left hand, forcing them up above my head. My body stretched, perky up my breasts and revealed my hourglass figure. My personal space felt violated.

"I'll ask you again princesa, what is your name?" he asked sternly as he pressed his body against my own, it felt hot.

I narrowed my eyes and glared "It's Ashlie."

His muscles started to relax "Now was that so hard?" he asked while gazing into my eyes.

I won't lie, he's eyes are beautiful. I felt rather drawn to them, it was like they were calling to me.

Question is, why?
