The First Alpha

Chapter 1

Aliza's Point of View

"Come on, Kayla. We have to get out of here. We can't let them catch us," I told my best friend as we ran through the woods. Suddenly, she fell to the ground.

"Kayla," I said. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her body to help her walk. I could hear the others getting closer.

"You have to leave me, Aliza," Kayla said

"No, I am not going to leave you, Kayla," I replied

"You have to before they get to us. You know if they catch us, they will kill us both," Kayla said. I had to get her out of there. I had lost too many people already. I couldn't lose her, too.

"I am not leaving you," I replied as I helped her up again.

"There you are. Where do you think you are going?" I looked up to see my mate, Cain, the guy who betrayed me, standing there.

"Stay away from me, Cain," I said

"I'm afraid I can't do that," Cain said. Cain took a step closer to me, and I took a step back.

"You are coming back with me," Cain said as he grabbed onto me. I kicked him where the sun didn't shine, causing him to growl at me.

"You bitch," Cain growled, and he punched me in the face causing me to fall to the ground. "I am going to make you pay for that," Cain said

"Enough." I looked up and saw the person who betrayed me the most, my stepmother Catherine, smiling at me.

"You didn't think it would be that easy to get away from me."

"Stay away from me, Catherine," I growled. I tried to shift into my wolf, but I couldn't. Catherine came toward me, but Kayla shocked me by jumping on her.

"Run, Aliza," Kayla said. I watched in horror as Cain pulled Kayla off of my stepmother, and my stepmother used her extended claws to slit Kayla's throat. I stood there shocked as I looked at my best friend's lifeless body.

I looked up to see Catherine and Cain looking at me, and I started running, but I didn't get far. Cain caught up to me and grabbed me.

"Let me go. I am your mate," I said, and he laughed

"I never wanted a weak girl like you as my mate. I, Cain Smith, reject you as my mate," Cain said. I could feel a little pain but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be from being rejected by my mate but Cain fell on the ground in pain. I turned to run, but two men grabbed onto my arms and held me tightly.   Catherine walked over to me with an evil smile on her face.

"Why," I asked, needing to know why she would betray me the way she did. "Why would you do this to me, to my father? How could you betray us like this? My father is your mate, and you did this. You acted like you loved me, like I was your daughter, but you lied. Why?" I asked, and she laughed.

"You are dumb, just like your father was. I never loved you. I did all of this to get what I wanted. I never cared about you or your father. You two were just too stupid to notice how much I hated you both," Catherine said

"You are evil. How could you say you never cared about my father? He is your destined mate," I said, and she laughed.

"No, he isn't," Catherine said, which shocked me. Her claws started to extend, and she pushed them through my chest and pulled out my heart. I fell to the ground, and all I saw was blackness.
