The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply novel Chapter 1

Prologue

 

My life wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine. The little light I could get was always far out of my reach. It was slipping away until the hope of ever getting to that light was tugged away from me. But then, he came along.

 

Or should I say, I stumbled on his territory? Xavier Knight. The vicious leader, Alpha of the Crimson Moon pack.

 

He was supposed to end me, kill me like all the rumors I’ve heard, said he would. But he spared me. I didn’t know why he did that day. Until little by little, he showed me.

 

Xavier Knight was my mate.

 

Which wasn’t supposed to be possible. We were completely different creatures. But the craving of his touch and the way I couldn’t possibly resist him proved that this was indeed our fate.

 

But, I had a secret I would die to keep and he had a beast he was fighting to stay in control of.

 

In due time I would fall for the beast, but in due time my secret would also be revealed.

 

” I’m going to claim you deeply Aurora,” Xavier pants on top of me.

《 Aurora’s pov 》

 

I shivered, curling into a ball on my makeshift bed. It was all used clothes from the pack members, clothes that they no longer wished to have. I had weaved them beneath me, hoping they kept me warm from the cold of the floor.

 

For years I had been sleeping like this. Now I was seventeen and even though I was very short for my age, the clothes underneath me weren’t quite enough for my length.

 

My teeth chattered, slamming on each other uncomfortably. I fisted my hands together and pressed them to my chest as I clenched my eyes tightly. I never could sleep properly.

 

It perhaps had something to do with the lack of warmth in my tiny room that was once a closet. Or perhaps it was the lack of wolf inside me. If I were like them, maybe I wouldn’t be freezing half to death at night.

 

But I wasn’t like them, the beasts who transform into claws and sharp teeth. I was the girl with the odd features. No one really knew what I was. Not even I.

 

The old door to my room opens harshly. The wood bangs on the opposite wall, having me wincing at the sharp sound it created.

 

I peeled my eyes open and blinked as a familiar silhouette enters my room. My heart pounds knowing why she came here. My body still ached from the work she bestowed on me mere hours ago.

 

My room had no light, so it was impossible to see if her face was tight with anger. But I knew she was. Anger was the only thing I seem to invoke on to the wolves of the pack. I suppose not being one of them was one of the many reasons.

 

“Get up!” Gomery hissed with the tone that always invoked fear into me. I winced from the sound of her voice and the protest of my body as I rise to my feet.

 

“It’s four fifteen and you’re still in bed?!” Gomery’s voice screeched, distressing the four walls of my room and my ears.

 

Four fifteen in the morning? When had I gone to sleep?
