Alpha Adopted Me

Chapter 2, Found and Confused

I wake up feeling watched so I stand and I stretch glancing around. That's when I decide to lay back down and I rest my head, stomach growling in hunger. I snap my head up shaking, wolves were crawling forwards, a look of hunger in their eyes. I dash away and they howl signaling the hunt. I glance around in a clearing and no one followed. I look up to see multiple of the same wolves surrounding me. One wolf was extremely larger than the others. I growl and my fur bristles making me look twice the height. After a moment all the wolves except the large one dash off and I'm left alone. I cower back when the large wolf steps forward.

I back away slowly and it watches me with confusion. it trots behind a tree and I glance around, fur still bristled with fear. a man came from behind the tree wearing jeans and he was extremely taller than me. shuffling backwards I hit a tree. the man was tall, tanned skin, dark brown ruffled hair, Light hazel eyes, and was extremely muscular. "Shift." he demands. I flinch but then I tilt my head confused.

 He glares at me. "Shift!" he demands louder. I only sat down confused. Shift? I thought. Understanding dawns in his eyes and he tilts his head. "Do you not know how the shift?" he asks. I shake my head hesitantly fur still bristling in fear. his eyes soften and he sighs. "take this, and go behind that tree. Imagine yourself in your human form. Okay?" he asks. I nod and he puts a sweater over my back. I shuffle behind the tree tail down and fur still bristling.

I imagine myself in my broken and ugly human body and I shift with cracks and pops as my bones realign. I quickly put on the shirt and I slowly peek out from behind the tree. once the man sees me his jaw drops. "Y-Your just a kid." he says shocked. slowly I shuffle back behind the tree and I sit down glad the shirt was long enough that it went down to my knees. I pull my knees to my chest and I pull the shirt over them.

Hesitant steps start towards me and I wrap my arms around my knees staring down at the ground. "Why did you shift... so young? and into a fox?" the man ask closer to the tree. I don't answer, Because I didn't know, and because I was taught to be silent and to Obey. then he was right next to me looking down at me. I glance at him and he tilt his head. "Come on, I'll take you to my pack house, Find you something better to wear." he says concern etched across his features.

 he lifts me up and sets me on his hip. surprised I blink at him. "I'm the alpha of Lunar Shadow pack." he says.  I look at the ground confused. Why is he treating me like this? I thought. a few moments later we were in a huge clearing with trimmed grass and a huge mansion. my eyes widen in shock but I don't speak or say anything. He tightens his hold on me as he pauses at the door. "There are a lot of people inside, Are you okay with meeting some of them?" he asks.

I nod hesitantly and he gives me a confused glance before slowly opening the door. children were up and about and multiple adult watching them with amused expressions. one I know from many of my beating sniffs the air and even everyone else does. The man was none other than my older brother, who decided to live here because he had a mate, then his mate died and took his anger out on me. everyone's gaze snaps to me and I look down. "Alpha... Why is a rogue in our territory?" my brother asks.

 "She's a kid, and I plan on keeping her alive." The man says glaring at them to dare them to hurt me. "But Alpha. She is still-" my brother begins. "I'm adopting her. If anyone hurts a single hair on her then you'll be hunted down and killed." the man growls. "Yes alpha Alexander." they reply. the children look at me with curiosity and I watch my brother and he was glaring at me. I glance away as the man carries me up some stairs and into a room. "What is your name sweetie?" he asks. his voice filled with both curiosity and adoration matching his eyes.

after a moment of me just staring at the ground he tilts his head. "Do you have a name?" he asks. I nod and curiosity was in his eyes. "Can you tell me it?" he asks. slowly and hesitantly I nod. "R-river." I whisper. my voice was soft, nearly silent from my lack of use. "How old are you?" he asks. "three..." I say keeping my gaze on the ground.

Aw, Alpha so nice... lol

How is it? I have to say not bad myself. {Edited}
