Rejected To Fate

Chapter 3

   As I ran through the woods, I heard howling, that cause me to stop.
I turned my back to be met by a pack of rogues, gnawing and gritting their teeth at me.

I turned and ran, away from them, faster than them, I ran with all the speed I could muster within me.

Soon enough, they were very far behind me, that didn't stop me from running though.

I ran faster, high waves of wind slapping me across the face. Brushing past trees and branches.

I panted, still running never daring to stop, I could be killed.

I saw a puddle and dived into the mud. Attempting to mask off my scent.

But of course when I came out, I was stung with some kind of
Substance.

Panting ferociously, from both running and the content.

I groaned from the snapping and  crunching of bones.

My vision blurred before my eyes and I passed out.

Marcus's POV
  

  Practicing with my best friend. Jack.
I was deemed Alpha-to-be, while he would be my beta.

I often trained with him because he was the only one strong to give me a challenge.

Recessed from the training, I went for a drink of water.

"let's go again..."

"Dude......I can't anymore......"he was panting. Bent on the knees

"C'mon jack,.... just one more round"

"I can't,..........one more........and I might go pass out " he panted and fell to the floor.

"Yeah, yeah" I laughed and and laid down beside him .

Later that day.

I was seated in the crowd. Hayley leaned on me by my right. I held on to her waist, awaiting my announce.

Adam my wolf was pacing inside my head. restless, nervous and anxious.

'Is something wrong?!!'

'I dont know Marcus, I can't seem to calm down. '

'Try Adam......I'm losing control!!'

' she's here,.....I can smell her'

' this is not the time for jokes Adam'

'..do I sound funny to you......... check it'

I took in a deep sniff and I smelt it only faintly.
Chocolate chips with a hint of vanilla.

My heart beat raced and it got harder to breathe. Sweat drops pooled on my fore head and rolled down continuously.
My palms got all sweaty and I got tensed. I had to let go of Hayley, to prevent her suspicion rising.

No no no....no
This is all wrong.

This could ruin everything. This......How ...... Why.........

I already had plans. I.....

I was cut off my thoughts when my dad, the Alpha, announced my name as the Alpha to be, in a few months.

I wiped off my worries, took a deep breath. Game on.

I joined my father in the spotlight and gave him a steady hand shake.
He nodded proudly at me.
