Chereads / The Alpha's Claim / Chapter 3 - 03. The meeting.

Chapter 3 - 03. The meeting.

*Henry POV*

Here she was again. The same girl who sat by the lake this late afternoon.

I hardly patrolled by the South and outside of my territory. But when I caught her scent in the air, I had to find her.

It wasn't long before I followed her scent all the way out here to, Marco's Diner.

I kept my distance, observing her from a far. With her hair tied up in a messy bun, she wore short white tank top, over some dark ripped jeans, that I felt like suddenly ripping her out off.

Woah! What the heck is going on with me?! I havn't even met her officially, and yet she's already givivg me wild thoughts. My eyes darted towards the one whom she was chatting to.

From where I stood, I easily picked up that her friend was an omega wolf. I had over 2000 members in my pack and I had no idea what her name was.

"Order for table is up." Called the guy by the food counter. I watched as she got up.

She was more beautiful, upclose. Her pretty brown eyes locked with mine, and it was taking everything in me not to pull her close, and dig my face through her midnight hair.

⟪A⟫ Bite her.

My inner wolf eagerly suggested. He was going wild with excitement as I held her in my arm. The strange tingles shot through me, as her skin graced the back of my hand, by her lower waist.

⟪H⟫ Control yourself, Achilles. We don't know who or what she is.

Plus I had no intentions of biting her, whilst we were inside a family diner. Raven Falls was a hot spot for tourists, and as the towns Alpha, I had no intentions of scaring the locals or the human tourists away.

Which made me wonder. Was this sweet little girl girl one?

Oh Moon, she looked so nervously cute staring back at me. Her eyes darted to my lips then back to my eyes, with a slight pinkish hue on her cheeks. I held back on my smirk knowing she was taking in my features, like a hot drink.

⟪A⟫ Are you crazy? Do you not recognise her scent and aura?!

True the many reasons I followed her scent was the fact that she had a strong scent close to my unfortunate dead mate.

⟪H⟫Please don't say it.

⟪A⟫ Mate!

"Are you ok?" I asked dying my inner beast's crazy thoughts down.

My sweet little bird looked up at me with her cheeks growing blush red.

"Thanks." She said in a soft whisper.

"For catching you or the food sweetheart?"

I asked giving her waist a short teasing squeeze. I watched her fluster flush in my hold as she gently moved out of my arm and took the tray I'd caught earlier.

"Oh, umm...Both actually. If it wasn't for you, I'm sure I'd met the floor by now."

Her voice was so sweet and charming, which I could hear all day. Oh Moon, what is wrong with me today?

{R} Oh my god, you're Alpha Henry Bradford!

I shot her friend a quick look.

{R} Don't mention me as Alpha in front of her Nora, and introduce me to your friend.

{R} Oh, my name is Roselyn Chilton, not Nora sir. I am a new recruit in the fifth division squad in your Blood Moon pack.

{H} Pardon me for getting your name wrong, Omega. Now please introduce me to your friend.

"He's got a good catch huh, Haru." Roselyn said.

"Yeah, he does." My little bird responded making me almost smirk.

"Haru, i'd like you to meet Mr Henry Bradford, Henry this is my good friend Haru Mizono who just recently moved to town."

"Pleasure to meet you, Haru."

I stretched out my hand to which she soon took. Those amazing tingles went through me again and this time my heart strangely thumped.

"Nice to meet you, too."

She locked eyes with mine, and I had sudden wild urgency to pull her close, and kiss her.

What the hell?! It's not even the full moon yet, and I'm deeply craving her in ways she's never imagined.

I behaved myself, and let go.

"Henry, we need to go."

My beta then entered just as her friend Nora was explaining who I was.

"Can't it wait?" I asked not wishing to break eye contact yet.

"No, it can't!"

{D} We have 6 rogues by the border.

Dante said quickly through his private wolf-link with me. Then he darted his attention towards, her.

{D} Hello, cutie.

Dante said making me look at him sharply.

{H} Eyes, off her now.

{D} Wait, who is she? I've never seen her before?

I pulled him away before he got more curious about my cute little bird.

"Excuse us ladies."

With one last look at her, I finally turned on my heel to go deal with the towns security.

*Haru's POV.*

I watched him walk away with his other friend. No, don't go. My heart suddenly felt sad. I sighed then got back to our table.

Roselyn then shot me with her grinning look.

"What?"

"It hasn't even been 24 hours, and you're already crushing on someone, in Raven Falls."

I scoffed, and shook my head.

"What?! I am not!"

"Anyways, eat up I have to take you to see my grandma, she's eager to meet you."

I smiled and soon had my dinner.

Rosyth then took me to her grandma who lived in an old cottage.

"My dear, I'm so glad you're in town."

She hugged me and pulled me into her home.

"No thanks to Roselyn's support Pearl."

"Well you're safe here child. I still can't believe Theo hasn't gone to jail for what he did to you and a whole other people."

"He's a powerful dangerous man. What can you do?"

"Haru, wait you told me that you got some evidence on him, of his evil doings?"

"I did."

"Did?"

"I unfortunately threw my evidence out of the bus, since he was using my phone to track me down."

"Haru, please told me you made a backup copy?!"

I shook my head.

"Haru."

"I'm sorry, I was completely shocked at what he'd done."

"What did he do?" Asked Pearl.

I didn't have the heart to tell her, that he murdered a lot of people.

"Just bad things Pearl, I rather not talk about." I sighed heavily, still secretly worrying about Theo finding me.

Pearl understood and didn't press on the subject, regarding that evil prick.

"Now, I hope Rose has told your about where you can explore, and where you can't in the woods."

"Yes, she did."

"Good, never ever go past the old bridge. It's not our territory. That whole zone belongs to the wolves of this town, it's their territory."

"Wait, the wolves?" I gave Grandma Pearl a puzzled look.

"Yes, if you're not careful they'll get to you just like that did with Roselyn."

"What?"

"Nevermind that, just promise me to stay home during the full moon nights, you don't know these wolves Haru, they're very dangerous."

Wolves? What is she talking about?

I was just about to ask that, when Roselyn took my hand in jers and pulled me out of the couch.

"Grandma we talked about this, and it's getting late."

Before, Roselyn dragged me out of her grandmother's cottage, Pearl gripped my other arm, making me shortly gasp out.

"Heed my warning Haru, don't get involved with the wolves, or you'll be sorry."

She said in a dark warning tone, low-key scaring the crap out of me.

"Ok?"

I said, melting her features back to her kind natured one. Pearl then let go of me sighing out if relief and shut the door behind her.

Roselyn then dropped me back home and couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, what did your Grandma mean by, it's the wolves territory, and don't get involved with them?"

"Oh, you caught that huh? Well, don't mind her. She's not a big fan of the wolves."

Roslyn said with a deep sigh.

Almost as if she was hiding something.

"Wait, are you saying this town has wolves, Roselyn?"

"Yeah, and they're mostly over the bridge, nobody dares crosses that path since, they're not particularly kind to humans, that tresspass."

She must be talking about the wild wolves. Makes sense, this whole town is surrounded by mountains and woodlands.

"Got it, I'll definitely won't go there, then." I restassured making her smile.

"Great, oh here is your temporary bus card to explore town and your new phone, well actually it's my old Iphone, but it's in good working condition."

"Thanks, Roselyn."

I made a mental note to repay her back after helping me out so much in my time of need.

"Just avoid social media, you don't want Theo tracking you down."

"Right, I forgot that evil prick is hunting for me."

"I can't believe you threw your phone out of the damn window, Haru. We could have finally put him behind bars." She stressed after knowing the mental torture and hell he put me through.

"I had no choice he was using it to track me via GPS. I should have never answered the phone, because —"

"Because what, Haru?"

"Because he knows."

I said, making Roselyn look at me stunned and speechless. For she was the only person on the planet, (besides my parents) that knew my not so human secret.

⟪A⟫ What does she mean by that?

⟪H⟫ I don't know, Achilles.

Henry in form of his true form as Achilles hid behind a wall of her cabin, easily picking up on their private conversation.

"Ok, well don't think about that too much, Haru, and get some sleep. Remember, you're here to start completely fresh now. You're no longer his Cherry. You're Haru Mizono here."

Roselyn said in a strong assertive way, giving me confidence.

"Thanks, Roselyn I needed that." With a quick hug, I then exited her car and watched her hit the road again.

Just as I turned on my heel, I gasped out of fright, freezing on my spot.

For right in front of me, stood a huge looking beastly, deadly and feral looking wolf.
