"Nobody leaves" Althea's voice boomed, stopping everyone in their track. Matt and Tray were shocked by the dominance her voice held. It was strange, she was a rogue but where was all the power coming from? they thought. "Nobody dares defy my command" Aries spat out each word, his voice too held dominance. He shouted each word at her. "And nobody dares disrespects me" Althea spat back the words at him. Aries too furious, slammed the table and broke it into half. He was too blinded by his anger that he forgot who he was talking to. His mate. His other half. "The rogues have started to think I have gone soft. They think so because I have taken in a rogue" he spat the words at her, looking right in her eyes.' All she was looking for was answers, but what happens when she finds her mate in the process? One that was equally dominant, an Alpha, ruthless and unforgiving. Book 1 of Althea series Author: Mila Publisher: EasyReading
Prologue
Althea knew what she had to do when she heard the screeching screaming from outside. Her dad had told her not to come outside, to stay hidden. But she could not follow her dad's command anymore for she knew that it was time for her to fight.
So, she stepped towards the large window, slamming against the glass window that shattered like pieces of diamond against the sunlight. She was in the air jumping from three story high and landed smoothly on her feet, one knee slightly touching the ground. It had been weeks since she had been following her dad's command and waited patiently in her room, locked away from what was happening outside. While her dear parents and warriors was fighting to protect her and the pack.
As soon as the rouges saw her, they started making their way to her as well. The air around her howled, she stood there with a deadly aura. Without a hesitation, she strikes every single rouge to their death, making her way to where she could smell her dear mother.
After what felt like ages, she could see her mother fighting three rouges at once. Even though they lacked the muscles that other pack warriors would usually have, she could see that they were strong.
But she knew that her mom was stronger. She could not be easily defeated but that didn't mean she could not help her mother.
After Althea made sure that there was no rouge on her way to her mom, she ran her way towards her mother and took one of the taller rouges by his neck by surprise and snapped it without blinking an eyelid. And was back to back with her mom.
When her mom realised that Althea had left her room, where she was safe for few more days, it made her growl with anger. How could she just put herself in danger?
But as she was already there, they could use some help, she thought. "We are going to talk about this later" her mom said through her gritted teeth.
"But for now, we are in war, do not lose focus" with that said, she focused back on bringing her opponent to the ground and snapping the rouges neck with a swift motion. Althea did the same and turned to hug her mother. Her mother gave her a kiss on her forehead and took a deep breath in before letting her go.
"Mom-" she was cut off shortly as everything happened so quickly. Her mother's expression changed to that of horror as she turned Althea whilst hugging her so she was facing whatever was coming in Althea's way. She groaned as pain radiated through her body from the sharp dagger that was sent flying by the rouges.
It was not just any dagger; it was shining bright red like it was sucking the life out of her mother. As soon as it pierced, it shined brighter and vanished with red dust.
Her mother soon started to slip off of Althea's arm but Althea grabbed her mother's now weak body and sat on the ground with her mom's body in her small arms. Horror on her face, she starting to whisper, "No, no, no..."
There were three figures on the far end on the left side by the tree. Their face hidden from the shadow of the trees. They knew that the goddess will not let a child get hurt. But little did they know that the child was her own.
As soon as they saw the goddess fall down, they knew that her mate would be weak now. They already knew that they had won. So, without a moment's hesitation, they made their way out of the red healer territory.
She could hear her mother's rasped breath whilst her eyes fluttered to keep them open. "My dear sweet child" she whispered.
"Shhh, its ok. Everything is okay. You are safe." Until then Althea didn't even realise that she was shuddering as she continued to say no.
"You must protect the werewolf world. Reunite them for they have forgotten that they are all but one. You are stronger than you think...more powerful" Her breath was rasp but she still continued "Destiny has great plans for you, my dear. You will rule with great people beside you-"
She took another short painful breath "You are the daughter of the goddess herself. Do not live for revenge for they don't seek the truth. Punish only those that deserve it. My death should not blind you but be a path for future" tears slipped off her eyes.
At this point Althea had tears flowing down her chin. "I'm sorry mom, I promise I'll get stronger, I'll do as you say so, please stay with me." Althea whispered taking her mom's hand to her face so it was cupping her face. Her mom gave a weak smile then looked right in her eyes.
"I love you my baby girl. My time on this land is coming to an end. But remember I'll be watching over you." she said slowly taking short breaths in-between every word she said. Her voice now barely above whisper, she said, "I love you Rand. I always have. I always will. I'll wait for you on the other side..." turning her head to where her mate was fighting rouges who was still unaware of the situation.
She knew that he will hear her. She took one last breath and went limp, her hand on Althea's face fell to her side as she closed her eyes. Rand knew that his mate was hurt but he could not get off of the rouges to get to his mate.
Until he felt her gone. The pain of losing a mate was so unbearable that he lost focus for a while and that was all that rouges needed. They took this chance to slash a silver knife across his chest.
He growled in pain of both losing his mate and the freshly opened skin on his chest. Without a warning another pulled a knife and stabbed it on his heart, slowly falling to the ground with a loud thud and a growl. But that did not seem to stop the rouges from attacking.
Althea looked in the direction of her father to see him fall to the ground as she screamed "Noooo" from her lungs, making everyone stop to see what was going on.
Time seemed to have stopped for Althea, as she looked at both her parents laying on the ground. She knew that both her parents had left her. If only she was stronger, Althea thought. If only she had more power, she would have protected them, if only...
Then an aura so strong radiated from her. The air around her howled like never before. Her black midnight black hair, turned silver and danced with the wind and her eyes glowed white. The small girl's body radiated so much power. All the werewolves there, be it pack warrior or rouges, could smell her power and dominance. Above all the anger and sorrow from the tiny little girl, crouched by her mother's now limp body.
When she raised her head high enough, they saw her silver white eyes that made everyone shudder in fear. She gave a deadly look, her face showing no compassion that of a little girl who just lost both her parents.
Before anyone could move, Althea tore the rouges chest and pulled their hearts one by one in what seemed like a glimpse. No one was able to keep up with what she was doing until she stood by the last rouge. She pulled the heart of him who slowly tilted sideways and fell to the ground with a thud. Everyone was so shocked; it was only seconds before that she was crouching with her dead mother in her arm.
But now she looked like a goddess of death as she squeezed the heart that was in her hand until it burst and splattered everywhere. Althea looked crazy, her little body now covered in blood, her hair and eyes still silver white, her face hard with anger. She held power in her little body that made all the pack warriors kneel down in submission.
"Alpha" the voices boomed.
6 years later
Althea waited with her two other warriors, Lyndia and Katie, in a bar in a small village somewhere North of America. Althea looked at the clock that hanged on the plastered wall on the bar. Five more minutes until her other warrior arrives with the news.
She had been looking for the pack that persuaded those rouges to attack her pack when she was eleven. She wanted to find them and know the reasons for attacking them so she could punish them accordingly. She hated them but was not going to go berserk because her mother knew her to do the right. And killing them without knowing the reason was not right. Even though they murdered her parents.
She had sent trackers to find the rouges as soon as she had a funeral for her parents and all the brave souls that died along with her parents.
About a year ago, one of the trackers, Ashton, got link on the rouge that attacked their pack. They wanted to questioned them but when they found them, they thought to take their life than to spill the truth.
As soon as she turned into a werewolf at the age of twelve, she had been actively searching for them. But still no luck.
So, she decided to come to America and leave the pack duties to her beta Ash and gamma Liam. They were one of the people she could trust with everything. But none of them could dared to cross their line. And unlike other Alphas, she didn't like to be questioned. She was known to be cruel and cold hearted; she has not smiled since the rouge attack.
The bar door opened and there came the three brothers. Tall, lean muscle and brown hair and eyes that almost looked black, Seth, walked at the front, followed by brown hair, brown eyes and muscular looking Jack right behind. Warren with similar dark brown hair and hazel brown eyes was the last to walk in. They were all very good looking and caught the attention of the ladies as they walked through the bar. But they stopped when they sat beside the three equally stunning ladies in the bar, jealousy clear in their eyes.
"Spill" Althea mind linked as they made their way to the table where Althea, Lydia and Katie were sitting. Her look deadly. They had made sure there were no other werewolves before they got in the bar, making them the only ones in the bar but they still couldn't risk being heard.
"Alpha" replied Warren through the mind link as he started shaking his head before bowing, suggesting that they found no clue in their search over the packs nearby. At this Althea gave a low growl but sat quiet for a moment.
"Lydia, Katie" she looked at the two girls, "head back to the pack, tell Ash it will take some time for me to go back. If there's any news tell him to contact either Warren, Jack or Seth. You will leave tonight."
Then she turned to the three boys, "You three head further north, see if you find any clues-"
"Alpha we can't leave you alone-" Jack interrupted making Althea furious. Her almost black eye turned dangerously black, stern face and a low growl escaped her lips.
"Never-Ever-Interrupt-Me-AGAIN!" she sent a chill down his body with unspoken words.
Her back bent so she was now leaning forward to where Jack was sitting with elbows on her knee fingers clasped together, knuckles turning white. They could smell dominance from her but not strong enough to put off the humans sitting around but enough for them to keep their eyes down, heads low.
"Head back home if you don't find any clues even after a month. I'm going to look around a little more before I head home", with that she dismissed everyone.
"I cannot feel this way. You clearly don't feel-" "I do though." He interrupts me. I finally look up to meet his eyes. It holds so much sadness. "Believe it or not but it hurts me every time I see tears in your eyes." His hands reach for my face, one more time and gently wipes the tears off my face. No matter what, the tears keep flowing down. "Please don't cry." He whispers. "You have someone out there just for you. Waiting for you." I whisper softly. A sad smile forms on my face that is now saltier than the ocean bed itself. I try to tug his hand off my face, but his hold is firm. He leans his head down and places it against mine. "I know." His whisper equally soft. "You need to let go. Just as I am." I close my eyes and take in the breeze of the ocean that surrounds him and now me. I hear a deep growl just as his hold tighten on my face but it's still gentle.' For the little Raven that was born out the woods, life was only about the survival of fittest. Hunt or be hunted.

"He was bigger than most Lycan and more muscular. Intimidating even. But I noticed the bags underneath his eyes with dark circles that was slightly visible on his tan complexion.

Althea nodded her head at that. "It's not easy to obtain love for a goddess, Althea." "I'll take my chances." Althea replied. This was going to be her sacrifice that she was willing to make to be with the one she loved.
