BANE

MATE!

Anna's POV

I took another step on the wooden stairs to go down to the hall. There are muffeled sounds of someone talking coming for the hall. I reached the floor slowly not wanting to make sound that even werewolf ears can hear. I slowly walked into the hall. The floor of tiles is cold against my warm skin. It's my mother and brother that are talking there.

My mother is on the sofa, while my brother is sitting on her left side in another chair. He is the packs warrior. They have tension on their faces. But why? They are talking slowly so that I cannot hear them. What are they talking about.

"Mom", I called out and they both turned back to look at me. The tension and sadness are still on their faces. Why?

"Come Anna, come here", my mother said gustering with her hand and patting it on the place next to her on the sofa. I went and sat beside her.

"Mom? Is everything okay?".

Her face turned pale and she took a gulp. Then looked at my brother and he nodded his head, as if guesturing that she have to tell me something. I looked back and forth between them, giving them a confused and question look

"Mom?".

"Anna, we have to tell you something", my mother said while putting her palm on mine nervously.

"I am listening".

"The Beast is coming", she said and I don't know what to say. But I took a gulp and my breathing stopped.

"No he can't", I whispered.

"Yes, he is coming", my brother confirmed.

"It's okay if he comes. He may be just coming to talk to our Alpha", I said, trying to assure them and myself that nothing is going to happen.

"We all know that he don't do talking when he comes to another pack. He only does war", my brother, Mike said.

"War? But why? We didn't do anything to their pack members. We didn't even go near that pack territory", I said trying to find a reason on why they are coming on war on our pack.

"That Beast on an Alpha thinks himself as a fucking Alexander, claming all the packs around the world", my brother cursed.

Alpha Beast in the most dreaded Alpha in the world. Most people don't know his name and even the people who knows his name don't call him that. Beast suits him perfectly. It's the right name for him. I heard he kills people like they are born for it. Not many people has seen him.

I also heard that he doesn't have a mate, cause the one he had he killed her himself and buried her down. Who does that to their mate. I don't ever even want to meet him. Such a cruel person that he killed the most precious gift that werewolves have, the person that he has to love for the rest of his life and his other half.

"That's why we want you to go to your grand mothers house in the neighbouring pack", my mothers voice brought me back.

"What?! No!", I protested.

"Yes you are".

"But no! I want to stay. I want to fight for my pack. I will fight. Even if I have to give my life for the pack I will. That's what father would like me to do if he was alive. Not runaway!", I said loudly.

"Anna, listen to mom".

"No!", I said as I stood up. My mother stood with me.

"Anna listen baby. I know you want to fight, but you are seventeen, still not the age to fight. You should be of eighteen years to fight. I took our Alpha Jackson's permission for you to go to that pack on the war time-".

"But mom-".

"No buts Anna. If your dad was alive, he would want for you, his baby girl to be safe. Also I lost your father in a war, I don't want to loose you too. Please go to your grandma's territory", my mother said and she had tears in her eyes. I so want to fight, but I can't see my mother crying.

"Okay mom. But when should I go?".

"Tomorrow morning", my brother said.

"When is the war?".

"Tomorrow afternoon".

"Okay", I nod and was about to sit, when we heard a mind link from the Alpha.

"The Alpha Beast pack has come into our territory. The war will be happening now. All the fighters and warriors come to the south side, they are coming from that side", our Alpha mind linked and my mother and brother has a look of dread on their faces.

"Anna, you should leave now! We don't have time! You should go from the north side of the territory as they are not there", my brother said and we all walked out to the back side of the house, which leads to the forest.

We changed into our wolves. My mother changed into her silver wolf and my brother into his dark brown wolf. I changed into my white wolf.

"Be careful Anna, we love you", I heard my mother say through the mind link.

"Love you Anna", my brother said.

"Love you both so much. Be careful", I said and took off into the forest.

After running into forest some far. I turned back and saw my mother and brother, my only family once again. They nod their heads and I did the same. They left running and I turned around doing the same.

I kept running for what felt like half an hour and I am near to the pack boarder.

I stopped there and thought once again.

I don't want to go. I don't want to run away for my life like a coward. I want to go there and fight along with my pack. I want to help them. All of them are fighting for their families and our pack and what am I doing running away. This is not right. I will stay! I will fight!

I thought and with that I turned back. The cool breeze hit me, blowing the soft white fur of my wolf. I ran towards south to go to the war ground. I ran with full speed, so I can reach there.

I ran for five minutes. Then I heard leaves scraping. Some one is coming. It must be them. I ran faster. I pushed my wolf to run faster. I ran as fast as I can. I suddenly felt a body weight on my back and tackling me to the ground.

As soon as the body touch my wolf as it tackled me down, tingles ran up and down my arm. Sparks ignited and ran all over my body. I looked up after slowly opening my eyes and saw a huge black wolf standing above me. It's eyes are pitch black and it looked ready to kill me. That's it I am going to die.

Our eyes met and everything stopped. I didn't remember anything. Not the war, not the running away. I am not scared of my life is over in this moment, cause the wolf that is standing above me will never harm me.

My wolf is howling happily and loudly.

"MATE! MATE! MATE!".

A big smile spread on my wolf face. Finally! I have found the one I am made for and the one who is made for me.
