Alpha s Chosen Bride

Elina hurried through the dimly lit streets, anxiety coursing through her veins. Detention had been dreadful, lasting longer than usual, and now she found herself walking home in the dead of night. The air was heavy with an eerie silence, broken only by the faint sound of her footsteps echoing against the pavement.

"You know peanuts, it would have been better if...if you didn't ditch me," she said over the phone, rolling her eyes in annoyance. She put her phone on the loudspeaker so she could talk to her friend easily.

"First of all, say my name right... I told you not to mess with that Tessa...she's a snake," her friend's voice echoed out throughout the space.

"You are useless... I'm taking a shortcut back home," It was a shame she got into a fight at school, now she was paying the consequences. 

"You should be careful, after all, you are ... the Alpha's little bride," her friend said with giggles, Elina let out a sigh and disconnected the call. Of course, she didn't forget that little detail.

"Bitch," she spat out as she made her way through the thick forest, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. A chill ran down her spine, and she quickened her pace, her heart pounding in her chest. Little did she know, a group of rogue vampires had caught her scent and were trailing her, thirsting for her blood.

"Well, well...look who we have here," a deep, stern voice spoke just as a tall shirtless man appeared in front of her.

"W-who are you?" Elina asked nervously, sensing a strange aura radiating from him. The foul stench of blood coming from him made her feel nauseous. 

"This is our territory little one," the man said with a smile, Elina fiddled upon seeing fangs "Boys! Our little meat is here...such a lovely smell you have...mmm," the man kept advancing. Elina knew when to run because now several shirtless men growling circled her.

"Vampires," she muttered, realizing her opponents weren't ordinary beings. Just as her fear reached its peak, Elina tripped over an exposed root, the pain searing through her ankle. She winced and struggled to stand up, her eyes darting around the darknes.

"Little one...you are specialities," their eyes glowing crimson with hunger, emerging from the shadows. Elina's heart raced as she assessed her situation. They closed in, their fangs bared, and their pale fingers reached out for her.

"Ahh! Let go of me!" She yelled, struggling to be free. The man who seemed to be the leader grabbed her by the neck, raising her off the ground.

"She's mine," the man slithered as he attempted to lick the side of her face.

"Ahh! No!" Elina felt her throat tighten with fear, knowing her lack of powers as a witch made her defenseless against these bloodthirsty creatures. She closed her eyes, preparing for the worst, when suddenly a chilling howl pierced through the night air.

"Who dares!" Startled, the vampires turned their attention towards the sound. Elina peeked through her fingers and was astounded to see a large golden wolf standing at the edge of the clearing, its eyes gleaming with intelligence. The vampires hesitated, unsure of the threat the wolf posed. Before they could make a move, the wolf lunged, its teeth sinking into the nearest vampire's arm.

"Damn it bitch!" The vampire man tossed her away, making her land against a tree and fell with a thud.

"Ahh," Elina gripped her shoulder while she retreated away to hide.

"Wolf...this is my territory...you just..." the vampire man tried to speak but in a split second, his friends were torn to shreds. Even Elina was stunned by the speed of the wolf.

"Fuck!" The vampire man resorted to running, realizing he was facing a formidable opponent. The wolf fought with a ferocity Elina had never seen before, claws slashing and teeth biting, overwhelming the vampires with its sheer strength and agility. It was a breathtaking dance of predator and prey.

"Oh no," she muttered, wondering who it was. "I should run," she quickly struggled to get up, this was her chance to run away. However, just then. A tall dark figure blocked her way.

"P-please...let me go...don't...," she fell to her knees and begged to be spared. The golden wolf was now in human form. What surprised her when she glanced up was that he was wearing a man.
