(Serina pov)
My paws tear into the earth as I run further and further away from the pack house. I don't know where I am headed, I let my wolf have control. I was too upset to really focus. How could my brother do that to me just give me away as if I mean nothing. Carter wasn't always so heartless but he also doesn't believe in true mates. I run through the trees feeling the wind against my fur. I'm not sure how long I was running but they must have been for a while for a familiar site came before me. it was a small cottage, but it was homie. It contained the only thing that could make me feel better at this moment. When my world is crashing around me, there's only one person who I knew could cheer me up. My best friend, Alex.
it's as if she knew I needed her, as if she felt me running, crying, breaking. She opened the door of the small cottage, a sad and worried look on her face. I ran straight to her, shifting mid-run, colliding with her. I did not caring that I was wearing nothing but my birthday suit. she just hugged me tight and wrapped a blanket around me, I didn't even see the blanket when I ran up. But should been expected, this girl knew exactly what I needed. I cried into Alex's shoulder unable to speak words.
she pulled me inside letting me cry not saying anything. it's almost as if she knew, if she asked anything at this point I would probably break into a million pieces. I was so fragile, I've never felt so weak. I'm an alpha! I shouldn't be this weak but the news that my brother gave me it destroyed me. how could he, I really couldn't understand. After what felt like hours I finally ran out of tears. I pulled away from Alex and I looked at her, my face was red and puffy my eyes were sad dull yellow. I could tell because her eyes reflected my feelings, her green eyes were clouded. I looked for words, the only words I could find were "my life is over!"
"Ruston called me, they are worried about you. They said the whole pack could hear your wolf cry. what happened? who do I need to kill?" she looks me square in the eyes. her green eyes darken with anger, I can tell the truth behind her words. that's the kind of friend she is, I want to laugh but I can't find any humor. I just let out a breath, but a sob escapes. "Carter is the worst brother in the world!" and with that it's like a damn broke, the words just poured out of me as I told my best friend what has happened. The betrayal of my father, the evil works of my brother, and how my mother stood there and did nothing. Lastly how my life is officially ending.
Alex's face was hard, her green eyes even darker, yet it was almost as if there was a fire burning in her eyes. she was she was furious, I'm pretty sure the storm that started outside was caused by her rage. lightning struck right outside the window, the whole cottage shook as the rain poured down. Alex has yet to say anything to the story that I have told her. we just sit in silence I'm pretty sure she's plotting my brother's murder, or hopefully maybe my now fiance's murder. After what felt like an hour, Alex finally spoke, "I guess there is only one option left." She gets up and heads towards the closet. Her face completely serious, I can tell by her tone that she is not joking. I know what she's thinking so I speak up, " Alex you cannot kill them." She just grunts at me as a response, rolling her eyes. "fine party pooper. I will not kill them. I can but I won't. I guess now all that's left is to find your mate so he can save you from your horrible fate." she stops what she was doing in the closet and comes back sitting in front of me. Her eyes as she looks at me, I can see in her eyes the pity and sadness. My life really does suck at this point, but she makes a valid point. If I find my mate I won't have to mate Rydel. Alex being a powerful witch maybe there was a way she could help me. Together we could find my mate, my true mate, and I wouldn't have to go through with my monster of a brother's idea. for the first time tonight I actually felt hopeful. I look at Alex shaking with excitement, "do you think there's a way you can help me find my true mate?"Alex goes quiet as she ponders over my question. I really hope she has an answer. I'd hate to go with her option of murdering them. Then we'd both be on the run. Well at least I'd have my best friend.
as if a light bulb went off in her head Alex's eyes lit up and she raced upstairs not explaining a single thing to me. I sit confused, waiting for her to come back downstairs to explain. eventually she returns carrying a box and sits down on the couches in the living room and calls me over. I walk over to where she's sitting she is open the box and inside are some pictures they are pictures of us now I'm really confused. maybe she'll make herself my true mate, I wouldn't mind that it's still better than him. she starts to take some other stuff out of the box. she finally turns to look at me, "okay there's a spell but it's a long shot, maybe, just maybe, we can find your mate with it. your true mate do you want to try it?" her eyes dance with excitement she has a lot of faith in this spell. it wouldn't hurt to try it I mean I really have no other options at this point. so I nod my head in agreement and I asked her what we need to be done. a smile sweeps across her face almost evil looking. Now I'm kind of scared, what did I agree to. Knowing Alex this is going to be above and beyond and crazy. She grabs the stuff that she pulled out of the box earlier and arranges it accordingly. next she turns to me, "Okay last I need a drop of your blood and one of your hairs." she says this to me as if it was nothing. I'm very curious of how the spell is going to work. So I pluck a hair from my head and hand to her. Next I like them my canines and pricked my finger I squeeze just enough so that a single drop falls. Alex catches the drop of blood on one of the pictures and begins to chant. it must be an old language because I have no idea what she's even saying. she continues her chanting then looks at me, "okay close your eyes and think of your true mate..'" her words start to be cut off as I close my eyes and think follow her directions. suddenly an image appears. it's a wolf, a large wolf. he radiates power, he stands tall like an alpha. I take in this tall wolf, his fur is whiter than the moon at its fullest peak. he's all white not a single mark disturbs the pure white fur that is on him, then he turns to look at me. his eyes, I've never seen eyes like his. they're blue, bluer than the morning sky, blueer than the Crystal lake. I let out of gasp in my eyes open. Alex is sitting looking at me, curiosity fills her eyes.
"well what did you see? was he a hunk? everything you could ever want?" she's nudging me trying to get the answer. I can't believe her spell worked. I look at her, her eyes feel confusion. she looks at me like something's wrong, that only words I can find are "his eyes." I can tell Alex is confused but she doesn't say anything. she knows eventually I'll elaborate once the initial shock wears off. I close my eyes and shake my head. but every time I close my eyes all I see is his eyes looking at me. so as if they're looking through my soul. I look at Alex once again, a smile creeps across my face, "he's a white wolf and alpha wolf."
the realization reaches Alex's eyes they widen. White alpha wolves don't exist anymore not since The blood Rose pack wiped out the white crown pack. my true mate was really one of a kind and I was hoping that I would meet him soon. I let out a sigh, "can I stay here tonight? I don't want to go home yet." Alex just chuckles, "of course you don't even need to ask. I'll go get you some clothes and then we'll binge watch supernatural." She runs up the stairs, few minutes later comes back down with comfy jammies. As I get dressed she turns on the TV turning on supernatural. I sit next to her on the couch, I'm trying to pay attention but my mind keeps wondering off those blue eyes staring at me, I just can't forget them.
