The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply by Demiah13

:Xavier’s pov:

“You’ve summoned for me Alpha?” One of my patrolling wolves bowed his head, hands tucked behind his back as he waited with stiffness for my answer.

My eyes slip to the girl on the table, a white sheet covering her nakedness from our sight. Her skin had now turned an odd color of purple.

It had been so long since we’ve seen the effects of wolfsbane that I had forgotten how toxic it really can be for wolves.

“Yes. Eli mentioned that you were the one who found her?” I questioned, nodding my head to the dead she wolf.

Isaac nods, looking down at the dead girl in pity. There was nothing we could do for her. It had already been too late. The wolfbane had already taken effect and she was already no more the second it entered her bloodstream.

“Where?”Imurmured, then tear my eyes off the dead wolf to stare at Isaac. ” Where exactly did you find her?”

Isaac looks to be searching his mind before he answers.” Mary and I were patrolling the right side of the woods. Brendon mind linked us that something was off on his side. Mary told me to go have a look. I didn’t want to go without her but she persisted. She said no one dared to trespass your territory so she’d be fine.”

He sighs, eyes falling to a deceased Mary. They quickly fill with a look of sorrow and regret. ” Brendon wasn’t too far away so I figured I’d be quick and get back to her soon. But when I did come back, she was slanted on the bark of a tree, in human form. Her

words seem to be scribbling out.”

Gulping, he blinked as if still remembering every detail of what happened and how he saw her. “Gamma Eli wasn’t too far so I mind linked him. But it was already too late.” Whispering he took a step back, shaking his head as if still in disbelief.

I nodded, sensing his inner turmoil. He was mouming her.

“When I got there, her heart was already faint. There were no signs of struggle.” Eli mumbled with his arms crossed beside me. He was awfully quiet, staring at Mary like at any second she’d rise from the dead and tell us who did this to her.

I left his side and walked closer to Mary until I was beside her head.

“Did you get any scent of another wolf perhaps, one from another pack? We haven’t had vampires on our territory for some months now, could possibly be them too.”

I lift my head to Eli when he grunts. “Shit man. I didn’t think to check, not when I thought if I was fast enough, she’d have a chance. Sorry. But I only took the scent of wolfsbane from her and even that was faint.” He lifts his hand in his hair, scratching his scalp as he avoids my gaze in sheepish embarrassment.

I narrowed my eyes down on my Gamma. “Tell me why you’re my third in command again?”

He winces. “Because I’m your friend? And I’m fast? Oh and loyal!” He snaps his fingers exaggeratedly. “Extremely loyal!”

I rolled my eyes and choose to ignore him. Dipping my head until my nose was near Mary’s neck, I sniffed. Reckon became restless when he took the scent of wolfsbane. Eli was right.

It had been years since the last time I ever saw one but I could still remember its scent. Who in their right mind managed to get a hold of that plant? Wasn’t every last one of them destroyed?
