Alpha Lucious

Chapter 1 BETRAYED ME

Lucious opened his eyes slowly as rays of the morning sun reflected on his face. He closed his eyes again not ready to get up.

  "Arghh is it morning already? Why didn't you wake me up? " He groaned as his hands slowly reached for the person beside him. ? His hands landed on the soft bed, he felt nothing. He quickly opened his eyes as he looked over at the place she should have been.

It was cold and empty, indicating she had been gone for quite a while now. Lucious narrowed his eyes. He couldn't even pick up her scent. He stood up as he headed to the bathroom to freshen up. Done with his bathing, he put on some clothes then grabbed a small towel before heading out.

His floor was silent as always. No one apart from his wife and and a few trusted people actually had access to the Alpha's floor. He walked into his elevator, pressing the ground floor as he tried mind–linking his Beta.

  " Have you seen Natasha?" He asked hurriedly, startling the Beta. 

  Raphael was in the kitchen trying to make a cup of tea for his pregnant mate. He had just started to pour the hot water in a cup when the Alpha's message came in.

  " Oh Selene! I've told you to stop doing that Lucious. I almost burned my hand" He whined.

  " Stop complaining I'm looking for my wife over here" Came the Alpha's short reply.

  " I don't think you're the only one who's got a wife" Raphael rolled his eyes. Everyone was aware of how the Alpha doted on his wife. 

  "Alpha you spoil her too much" He said as he continued his tea making. He didn't want his mate to come out and find out he's not yet done else he will be in so much trouble. 

  " And no, I've not seen her. I don't know what she's been up to these days" He quickly added.

  Lucious ended the mind–link. He didn't want to hear anything more concerning the woman he was madly in love with. 

  Natasha was his childhood friend. They grew up together and basically did everything together. She was the only woman Lucious had ever fancied and the only one to have seen the Alpha's soft side. She wasn't his mate, he didn't believe he had one, but he married her anyway.

  The elevator door opened, letting him out as he headed for the back door.

  " Good morning Alpha" The guards greeted as he exited the pack house. Lucious nodded his head answering more greetings as he went round the pack houses. Today was one of the days the Alpha surveyed the pack to make sure everything was fine.

Young shifters headed to the training ground to start their everyday training routine. Each shifter was expected to participate in training from the wolf age of eight. Some already had their wolves by that age, while the late shifters had to wait till around they were twelve

All done, he decided to go on his morning run. He headed for the deepest part of the forest this time.

 Lucious ran for quite sometime heading deeper and deeper into the forest. After about an hour of running, he slowed down as his ears picked up a sound. Lucious narrowed his eyes as he walked slowly towards the direction it came from. Low moaning and a few grunts could be heard loudly now.

Lucious' heart beat frantically as he approached. His nose picked up a very familiar scent but he didn't want to believe it , it was simply impossible. What could she be doing here by this time of the day?

Lucious slowly dragged his feet towards the direction the noises came from. It was a clearing behind some trees.

Lucious could feel his whole world crashing down as he finally saw her. His eyes couldn't believe it, Lucious could feel his heart shattering into a million pieces as he stood there looking at the two people before him, who were too engrossed in what they were doing.

The man who was on top Natasha suddenly stopped what he was doing as he sensed something was wrong. He looked up to meet the red eyes of a livid wolf.

  " What's wrong?" Natasha asked as Roel stopped above her. "Why did you stop?" She asked following his gaze.

Her eyes widen in shock as she saw her husband standing there with red eyes. She pushed Roel away as she stood up quickly to wear her clothes.

" What have you done?" Lucious asked in a hoarse voice. He felt his knees trembling as he stood there looking at Natasha.

" How could you do this to me Natasha? " Lucious could feel the anger bubbling up from within him.

" How dare you betray me?!" He yelled as he approached them slowly. Roel the rogue she was having an affair with pulled Natasha behind his back, shielding her from the Alpha's hateful gaze.

" She owes you no explanation" He said rudely as a smirk formed on his lips. Lucious eyes started twitching, his wolf was begging to come out and tear these people apart.

" As he said, I owe you no explanation Lucious" Natasha's voice sounded as she stepped out from behind Roel.

" What ? do you hate me now? " She asked in a mocking tone. A small laughed erupted as she used her hands to cover her mouth.

" Forgive me Alpha but I don't think I need you anymore. You've never really loved me, have you? You think you could use me as your play thing and once you find your so called mate, you'd leave me? I don't think so" She laughed again. The sweet sound Lucious loved to hear before now sounded like daggers to his ears.

" Roel treats me like a real woman Lucious, he loves and care for me more than you ever will. He's everything I could ever want" She said defiantly as Roel held her by the waist pulling her closer.

Lucious felt his heart shattering all over again as the only woman he'd ever love stood there in another man's arms.

" Besides the Blood Moon Pack has lost it's glory thanks to their weak Alpha. So pathetic, I deserve someone much better, someone powerful of course. Not someone who hides like a coward behind his pack members. Speaking of which, where are they now?" She smirked as she took a step forward, noticing the Alpha was all alone.

" I don't need you anymore Alpha Lucious. It's over between us" She finally said as she looked directly in to his eyes.

" I, Natasha Donald of the Blood Moon Pack, break my bond with the Alpha hereby rejecting the mate bond between us. I do not want you anymore" She declared , a devious smirk on her lips.

Lucious could feel something snapping. It was the mate bond.

It was gone. So was his sanity at that very moment.

Lucious' eyes turned completely red as his wolf went livid.

" I will kill you...I will kill you both" His cold voice said as he swiftly shifted into his magnificent black wolf. Roel too, lunged forward as he shifted into his own gray wolf, his much smaller than the Alpha's of course.

The two wolves circled the field snarling and growling at each other before the black wolf finally pounced on the gray wolf. They clawed and bit each other as they rolled in the giant field.

Natasha looked alarmed as she saw her lover being clawed at by Lucious. Of course Roel was no match for Lucious and they both knew that. She only said that to stall Lucious as she knew Roel had called for reinforcements. She just prayed they came in time before Lucious killed both she and Roel.

It didn't take much effort for Lucious' wolf to pin the rogue wolf down. He raised his razor sharp claws ready to deliver the final blow when two brown wolves jumped on him distracting him for a moment. Roel took that opportunity as he limped away from the Alpha leaving him to deal with the two wolves . More and more wolves appeared to attack the Alpha.

The Alpha fought viciously dodging and throwing the smaller wolves who never seemed to end. He was too occupied with the wolves that he failed to notice a certain gray wolf sneaking up from behind him.

Roel seeing the Alpha was preoccupied sneaked up behind him . He knew his men were no match for Lucious as he could see how he clawed and flung them with ease. The Beta may soon find out the situation here and they could be in some serious trouble since it was still The Alpha's territory.

He leapt in the air, landing on Lucious' back as his sharp jaws clamped down on Lucious' neck. Blood as he succeeded in sinking his teeth into the flesh. Lucious growled in pain as he tried to shake off the wolf on top of him. He twisted and turned as more rogue wolves attacked him finally pinning him down.

The gray wolf bit in more deeply, blood staining his fur as he felt Lucious slowly losing strength. He had lost too much blood and his wolf side retreated as he slowly shifted back into his human form.

Roel mind–linked his people to retreat as one by one they all ran towards a certain direction, leaving the injured Alpha on the ground.

Natasha and Roel were the last to leave. She looked at Lucious one last time before she smirked, waving him goodbye as she shifted into her own wolf and dashed away, Roel following close behind her.

Lucious laid in a pool of his own blood gritting his teeth. He was too weak to shift and follow them as he watched them leave.

" That woman will definitely regret betraying me to be with a fucking rogue! Next time I catch them, I'll make their lives a living hell! Rogue leader, right? I will kill every rogue I catch!" He said as his consciousness slowly started fading away.
