"I can't believe you're being selfish, it's just a marriage, your mate is not coming."

My second brother, Pedro Welf, was a great companion, but everything changed when my father's power poisoned his head.

"Are you fucking kidding me? ARE YOU CALLING ME SELFISH??"

A dry blow, everything around us rumbled, the table broke in two with it, the tight jaws of my brothers and my father staring at me fixedly.

The first Alpha woman in a pack, my strength was more than my own father's, my blood was hot and very powerful, so valuable that my father let me know from my birth.

"You better shut your snout, Pedro... Because you won't like me talking about everything I covered for you..."

My gaze was red, he only took a step back, he knew me well, it wasn't good to make me angry, he couldn't handle me.

"Just choose a man and it will be enough, you are the successor of the pack, this commitment will be important for everyone"

My father's voice, as dry and raw as a stone, looked at me as if his words were simple, he only saw me as someone who had to be more than perfect, his opportunity to rise to a status like a king.

"I don't plan to choose anyone... And even less if it's not my destined mate" I pointed to my brothers "They have mates and I don't, why should I risk my life and my feelings to someone who won't even care about me?"

Now my gaze was on my father, he stood firm before me, my command was more than scattered and I could see that they were holding on like every man unable to fall in front of a woman.

"You are 25 years old... You won't find anyone anymore"

Direct. Like a bullet in the middle of my head, he didn't care to look at me like a hopeful idiot capable of having someone.

"Father... Please, you can't force her"

My fifth brother Mario, the youngest, I think he's the only one who can see the reality of this family, who was born with some sense along with Esteban who stood in front of us preventing it from going further.

"It is your duty Rice... As Alpha you must have a mate and make an heir, your lineage can be a great benefit for this family, you could even be allied with the Lycan King... Who is also aware and more than available to take you as a wife"

"I refuse"

Seven words, the last time I would repeat it throughout my life with them since I got my wolf at 14 years old.

"Then you don't deserve to be in this family"

My third brother Guillermo, his hatred towards me was not unnoticed since he hangs out with the scum of the Refwud, the neighboring pack, full of money but greater their thirst for power, and their influence was his friend Luck who wanted me only to be his collection in his harem.

"You know what... For once in your stupid life he's right"

I spat directly on his Ego, He growled, but I only smiled, his growl only seemed like a puppy compared to mine.

"Now I understand why my mother left... And I'm glad, she would be disgusted to see her husband and her two older sons being just scum."

I launched a dagger into every particle of their bodies, they were so tempted that they looked like firm statues, our mother always filled us with love, but those words will surely be etched in their heads and of course I want them to.

"Congratulations Pedro, you are now the new successor, I am leaving this stupid family" I looked at my father "My mother had more balls than you... Now I see that you were just a damn coward who saw her for his own game"

My father said nothing, and neither could he, my mother went far away with my aunt, we never saw her again, her blood was from a hybrid a powerful witch, with the power of a wolf, a blood capable of healing, a beautiful and lethal power, but she fell into the clutches of my father thinking it was love... Her destined mate never saw her with that love, or only at the beginning, but when he discovered her nature everything changed, my mother had a kind heart, she never looked at people with malice, but she was wise and saw how my father's heart was increasingly closed, deciding to leave when we were barely ten years old and my brother Mario barely five.

"Rice..."

Mario followed me along with Esteban my fourth brother, who are the only ones who understood me for now, but I knew that my father would not leave them alone, I could not take them yet, I did not have a mate and they only needed one year to have their wolves.

I wrapped them in a hug "Never forget that you deserve something more than this... When you are ready I will wait for you, I will never leave you, remember well... A message and I will take you with me" I whispered in their ears taking those who felt a strong squeeze and their soft smell that only they had, was what I recorded at that moment.

I took a backpack, some clothes. My father did not move from the room, he did not believe in my words but my departure had been planned for a long time and today with this last opportunity that broke he will not see me again.

I hid my scent, jumped out of my window and left "In five I arrive" I sent on my disposable cell phone "Everything ready" I received, I broke every particle of that cell phone, I ran through the forest, a route that only my mother knew which was always a secret of the two.

I gave a last look at my two brothers, swallowed my pain and disappeared from their sight.

Arriving at the limit, the guards let me out when they recognized me, they could not deny me without first losing an arm.

A last sigh and I walked away, I transformed into my beautiful Atla, a jet black wolf with red eyes like crimson itself, but so intense that blood and hell itself were in them.

I arrived at the meeting point, 700 Kilometers a distance where all my scent would no longer be felt by the strong gusts, I got into the polarized black car taking off.

"Long time no see, Sweetheart..."

My great ally and an Exiled wolf, I returned to my normal state taking off my clothes with his gaze from afar towards the road, a wolf who desired me but was handsome, but his love was such that I could not reciprocate it.

"I'm glad to be back Carter, This time I don't plan to come back anymore... Fuck them!"

Carter smiled slyly quickening the pace to a new destination, a cold place where many wolves did not know, a quiet place with older people and many young people.

"The family, Is there a new boss yet?"

I sat in the co-pilot's seat letting out a sigh, I felt a slight pain in my chest, but not for losing a pack, for remembering my two brothers who will be left without my help and the lack of affection from a father, but I will only wait for them to want to come with me and that power does not invade their heart.

"Yes... He's very fair, you'll like him... When you left everyone expected you to come back, they're sure to give you a warm welcome."

My journey to a new destination, I only smiled as I thought against whom we will fight now, that welcome ritual was one of the most lively for us.

"My name is Rice Welf, I am the first Alpha woman with powerful blood capable of having a lineage as powerful as a king, I am 25 years old and this story will be more than interesting, I do not promise to be respectful because my limit is only 0.1% and my vocabulary in a male environment is not the most beautiful..." So you better fix that ass because it will be a nice adventure.

My great destiny, Boston, a place that is as cold as ice and as warm as embers, with a lot of rain, special for me, because of my hot body temperature this is natural air conditioning, although in the heat I live roasted.

Carter got me everything I asked for, the neighborhood is beautiful and behind it a fairly large forest, the elderly people are very friendly, since I arrived they welcomed me with a smile, Lety my neighbor a 60-year-old woman and her husband Luis are very loving, they always treat me like a granddaughter.

It's been two years since I left, I got a job helping elderly and young people, I'm also in a nursing course, I have many elderly friends... "The great dream" but only that these are not for crazy nights like mine, theirs are the marathon of medications and a light orange juice.

I have a friend, Nicol, and her 15-year-old brother Francis, they are omega wolves who fled from their abusive parents, they are like my heart brothers, they never asked about my life, but they can smell me sometimes something that I now hide a lot so as not to affect them

"Although sometimes I put a few drops of my blood in their breakfast and they don't even notice... You'll say it's disgusting, but thanks to that they can stand it now"

Apart from that, Carter is always there when I need him, and from time to time I join his work "Cleaning up the garbage"

"Today is my second cousin's wedding, he's the only one we have left, he lives a few hours away and... Are you coming with us?"

"Mm, and will there be handsome wolves?"

Of course I wouldn't miss an opportunity to get my stress out with one of them, after all these years I worked like crazy and Atla is already like a 100-year-old woman because she sleeps

"Of course... Just don't go with Uncle Artur, he's a pervert and I don't plan to hit anyone"

"Okay... But if he touches me somewhere..." I look at her with my lip sideways

"Just unleash Atla in your killer eyes and he'll surely faint"

Nicol patted my shoulder, she knew my level of patience with men or unfair people, in that sense I took after my mother, something my father could never invade "An alpha with a soft heart, is a weak Alpha" his phrase for when he helped someone inferior of any kind he didn't hesitate to tell me.

"Okay, we'll go shopping because I have nothing" I sighed quickly drinking my morning coffee

"Of course... Do you leave at the same time?" she asked from the kitchen throwing me my keys

"I'll be back at six, I'm going to go lift weights before, and I'll stop by Teo I promised him a snack today"

Nicol nodded already taking out to make a sponge cake, while I saw Francis run to the bathroom because he would be late to school again, I smiled, grabbed my helmet and left with my beautiful baby, a perfect motorcycle for an Alpha "Violet" roared with power at every stop.

It was not unnoticed that I always attracted attention, my red hair and my muscular body, well formed and that beautiful motorcycle in a place of young people was something quite "Noticeable"

Today I would do eight hours at my job, with my classes in between practices.

I arrived, parked and entered with a smile, I loved my job... They'll say a strong woman in a place of old people... – I don't give a damn –

They have infinite stories, and they are so warm that I love them, there are not only older people also young people and children with some problem, it is beautiful to see how they evolve with will, some arrive with no life in chairs like prisons in their bodies, but seeing them get their shine with each effort until they manage to walk is the best

"Good morning, Handsome... Today you look more radiant than ever, do you have a date?"

My day begins with Mr. Victor, a grumpy man who only gets along with me, he's already in his 80s, widowed, with a son who can't stand him and left him there to get rid of him, only I can handle him.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I always look like this, silly girl"

His voice is already trembling as he looks at me sideways holding his newspaper, he was already bathed and ready for his morning walk, poor Sindy left the room wanting to cry, he always said cruel things to her, but she was too sensitive anyway

"Today he called me Blonde from a card" she sobbed

"Oh Sindy, take it as advice, you would look beautiful with a brunette" I patted her back

"You know... Sometimes you're worse than him, but I do love you"

She let go of me without encouragement following Mr. Augusto.

"I hope so Victor because I won't hesitate to take that woman away from your cruel life... You'll only be a problem"

His belly moved, he laughed softly trying to hide it, but it was already noticeable that he liked it, I take him in his wheelchair outside while the whole corridor greets me.

"Victor... Do you think you're young with those clothes? She's dead for my grumpy old man"

That's Mr. Bert his great enemy, another one who makes his life impossible, but they always end up talking at the end of the day

"He's all yours Mr. Bert, this handsome is mine" I said, Victor laughed showing him the middle finger

"Take that Old One-Eyed" he said loudly while Bert clicked his teeth for that defeat.

•••••

Dark Moon Pack

"You better leave Asher, you are nothing more than a burden to this family"

So direct, without mincing words and without looking at him with a sigh of shame

"It will be for the best"

He replied, looking at the window, his eyes were dull, his efforts to give his pack a victory were more than trampled only for being crippled in the legs, they didn't even give him merit everything went to his brother the Alpha, who only spent his days f*cking his lovers and saying "Make us win" without caring if any of the young people died in those fights

"You finally come to your senses Asher, don't take it the wrong way, but a wolf without legs is already dead"

My brother smiled mockingly looking at me, "A damn idiot with all the letters" I didn't look at him, I just swallowed every word, every opinion, mistreatment, and rejection with a great desolation of love from them to see their true faces.

"Go with your cousin, I'm sure she'll receive you for a few days, I'll give you money, but you won't receive more than that, try to... Get something to support yourself" he smiles "If you can..."

"I'll go with you sir"

My caregiver, my cousin Tomas, son of my uncle's lover who was spared his life for only having "Royal blood" like everyone in this house, "To look good" according to my father, he gave him a permanent job taking care of me, a beta, very capable in my view he could be one of the soldiers but of course... Lucian the Alpha refused because he was the son of a Bitch with a soft heart.

"Of course, I wasn't going to let you stay either... You're also a free mouth here"

Lucian mocked us, we just stayed silent it was what he hated the most, we didn't fall into that game, he just clicked his teeth receiving one of his many whores with a spank

"You better hurry... I don't want to see you when the King comes"

"I'll leave today"

Without encouragement, I moved my two fingers, Tomas was already taking me away, I didn't plan to be in this pack anymore that doesn't value anything, I just wanted power at the expense of others.

"That's good... Today is my lucky day"

It was the only thing I heard behind me with my brother's mocking laughter.

"Sir, everything is ready"

"Don't call me that Tomas... I'm not your lord anymore, let's go, I don't plan to stay here anymore"

"You will continue to be even if you don't like it"

I just nodded, I didn't even have the energy to contradict him, I went to the car with his help, he helped me get in, put my chair in the trunk and took the road away from this damn pack

"Boston is a cold place, but very quiet, your cousin even left you her invitation..."

Tomas was very talkative and very cheerful, he could give you a smile even if the world was about to explode

"I hope her husband is good..."

The last thing that came out of my mouth and then I slept all the way.

My day ended as always, after doing more than I was supposed to, it was an extra payment "I'll arrive an hour later" I sent Nicol and Tomas, although they knew that I always stay to help, that extra money didn't hurt, although I didn't lack it, I had a good sum saved, I wouldn't spend it.

I went to my gym, an exact hour of warm-up and weights, I love it..

"The heat you feel carrying 200 kilos on your whole body is an adrenaline and liberation that lasts very little, but it is" throws a kiss like a chef with his hands "!! Exquisite ¡¡"

"Look.. Today you are more beautiful than yesterday"

Matias, a jerk from the neighborhood better known as "the heartthrob" but he doesn't even get a greeting from me, I already knew his kind, just for being pretty they think everyone would open their legs

"Will you keep not talking to me..? I think you're already mute.." he gets close to my ear "But you must pant so deliciously..."

I dropped the weight with a bang, Carter who managed the Gym was already behind

"Get lost.. if you don't want to lose your balls"

I didn't have to say anything, I just took a dumbbell and that was enough for him to walk a few steps.

"You'll fall eventually, beautiful.." he whispered with a smile, Carter pushed him hard as he left

"I see you controlled yourself for two seconds .. It's a record ."

"Yeah.. It seems that anger classes are paying off"

He smiles, tousling my hair, but I dodge it and that's the beginning of a body fight amid laughter, my alarm rings and it's time to go back.

"We'll continue tomorrow.. I have to go get Teo.. Will you bring the beers?" I ask as I leave

"Of course.. Even my intentions, honey"

I smile with a wink, I just shook my head and got on the motorcycle at his gaze.

•••

"Sir.. We've arrived-"

I woke up with his touch on my shoulder, I saw the beautiful house and the exit of my cousin, Tomas already lowered my chair and helped me out

"Cousin.. I'm so glad you're here-"

She wrapped me in her arms, we were second cousins on my mother's side, we lost contact as children but at 20 I looked for her and as if we had never been separated we talked so fluently

"I introduce you to my fiance.. And soon to be husband" She pointed to the tall dark-skinned man with a smile whiter than my skin

"Nice to meet you, I'm Obdul, Tici told me a lot about you, please come in.. I'm glad to have someone from the family"

"Thank you for receiving me .. Both of you, as soon as I get something I'll let you know Tomas is.."

"Oh Asher.. You're not a bother, you can stay as long as you want, but if you want it to be a place close by, we're family now"

Tici looked at me with affection, she took my hand, she knew what I went through, I told her everything and sent videos and recordings, she encouraged me to sue them but now it doesn't make sense anymore, I just nodded, I noticed her affection and of course four little eyes in the window were looking at me very attentively and shyly

We went in and instantly I saw two mixed-breed puppies, with the same features as them

"He's Uncle Asher, I told you about him, he's just like mom and you" she whispered

Tomas looked at me worried, he didn't know about that, but I smiled at him, we don't hide anything between us, even Obdul was excited when he found out from his fiance, because his family also came from wolves only he was adopted by his parents.

"Hello.. I'm Isack, nice to meet you Uncle Asher"

"You're quite the man Isack.. How old are you?"

The boy smiled proudly, showing his paw with four fingers. Behind him came a shy girl with hazel eyes like Tici

"How big ... And what's your name, young lady?-"

Tomas smiled slyly, it was the first time he had seen Asher smile.

"I'm Ametil," she smiled happily "I'm also four years old Uncle Asher and I'm taller than Isack" she said mockingly

Asher smiled with the others, then settled into his room, it was spacious but warm, and its view of the big city and the noise was something new but it filled him with relief.

"My lord, do you need anything else?"

"No Tomas, I'll sleep for a while, wake me up when it's time to go...-"

Tomas nodded, going to his room to take a bath, Tici already went to the hairdresser and the spa salon, while Obdul took the children to the garden to sleep for a while, he would only wake up on time.

••

9:00 Pm

"I'm going to take a bath, otherwise I'll fall asleep-"

She stretched out languidly as Teo came out of the bathroom

"Teo, when you're ready don't get dirty.. Your mother will kill me if she sees a stain on that suit"

"It's okay Rice, I'm ten now.. I'm not a kid" he puffed out his cheeks

"Oh look, Mr. Adult ... Then if you get it dirty you wash it and take the beatings from your mother" he squeezed his cheeks, Teo nodded

.....

"Sister, Hurry up! We'll miss the entrance"

Francis was already at the door shouting, I went down with the heels in my hand while posing quickly on the stairs, Francis took pictures quickly

"Come on.. Come on" Nicol came out grabbing the keys, there was only an hour left for the bride and groom to enter

"You look beautiful Rice.. If you stay single for a few more years, I'm available-"

Of course I slammed my hand on his face throwing his head back

"I don't plan to go to jail, kid.. And you won't have me even in your dreams, this will be my partner's"

I pointed to my beautiful body sculpted in the dark green silk dress with ruffles on the side that gave me more than volume

"What if it never comes?"

"Francis.. Seriously you deserve a pineapple" scolds her sister

"Well.. The goddess does it for a reason.. Maybe he's from some other race.." I was left thinking

"What if he's an ugly dwarf.. Or an elf with wrinkles and a mushroom face"

I tilted my head – There would be a reason for him to be my chosen one, if he's ugly he must have something nice between his legs - I laugh with them – It doesn't matter what he's like as long as he's transparent

Francis bit his lower lip – Some people are so lucky - he sighed, I rolled my eyes while Nicol gave him a tap on the head and Teo laughed

We arrived just in time to the lobby, they gave us our table and we sat down, we were almost in front, ready to record the bride and groom.

••••

Minutes before

"My lord .."

I got up at Tomas's call, I overslept, the bride and groom already left with the children, I got ready with his help and we left

"I hope we don't miss the entrance.. I didn't hear you"

I sighed frustrated, Tomas quickened his pace

"I was tired sir, it's not your fault, we'll arrive, we're on time" he smiled slyly

And as always Tomas was right, he entered a shortcut and we arrived on time, in the Lobby they already guided us to the table, it was in front.. Very far forward, something that made me nervous in front of the sight of many strangers, I didn't realize and adopted anxiety in this type of events but I just sighed I wasn't going to ruin my kind cousin's wedding

"Asher.. Our mate is here"

My body tensed at Emon's words, my wolf never spoke since the accident and today for the first time I heard him all over my head

' No.. ' I looked like a hunter at his prey sniffing her scent, cherry and chocolate... When I saw her, a beautiful redhead with a green dress, brown eyes and a beautiful figure, she was a Goddess

"Get closer"

' You're crazy.. Or have you already forgotten the situation we're in '

I gritted my teeth, she a dreamy Goddess and I an invalid, I wouldn't go to my next death.. Of course not, I wasn't a Masochist ..

"She is a wolf like us, I can feel her, her scent is an Omega"

' Omega.. I'll be less able to protect her, we're damn invalids Emon.. I won't do it, hide our bond Now'

"Idiot"

•••

"It's almost time"

I was very comfortable looking at the men around me, most of them already had hunter faces, "I won't have a party today.." I thought when I saw them, I would only give them the pleasure to boast

"He's here"

Atla jumped out of her hibernation suddenly, I felt the scent of my mate, Vanilla and mint ..my whole body tingled, it was strong "A Gamma" I thought, my sense of smell was the best, I noticed it instantly, Blond hair, brown eyes and very very muscular, everywhere

"Cut the link.."

Atla said, I wasn't surprised, he was probably in a wheelchair, I was about to go with him but he moved away

' I'll go later, I won't pressure him... If I hide my scent as an Omega, I don't want to imagine when he finds out I'm an Alpha'

I sat back down when the presenter announced the arrival of the bride and groom and the lights went down illuminating the grand entrance.

"My partner is here.. He's the blonde next to the one with glasses" I whispered to Nicol

"Damn Rice.. He's the brother of the alpha of the Dark Moon pack..."

The Dark Moon pack, the same one that my brother Guillermo became friends with, one without a heart and with an ego of power bigger than anything, they think they are bigger than the sun for being royal blood but they are rotten cockroaches.

"Do you think he's like his brother?" I whispered, as we applauded when we saw the bride and groom

"As far as I know, his idiot of a brother said he was dead.." he raised his eyebrow "But he never wanted him when the war left him like this..and what do you think?" he smiled "He's a distant cousin of the bride, which makes him my cou..sin" he said mischievously

"Friend.. We're family now" I said amid laughs "But he's avoiding me.. He hid his scent and his bond-"

"Hu.. Friend," he sighed "He must think you'll reject him"

"I'll find out.. He won't be saved from me" I smiled looking at him sideways but he wasn't looking at me at all

"You sure don't forgive anything ... I hope his friend works out, otherwise give him your power and even wa.."

"Nicol.. You're a damn bully-"

Nicol was laughing but she was right, Rice could even walk with her power, but now she was more than focused on the back of his neck because he was turning his back on her and that was making her more than restless, Atla was like a beast, constantly looking at her wolf too.
