The Alpha King's Series novel Chapter 1

Prologue.

My father, Owen James, is the beta of the shadow pack. My stepmother Delores is the pack's warrior, the strongest female who trains the best warriors, but she is the best warrior. Unfortunately, my dad had an affair with a human, and nine months later, I arrived. My birth mother dropped me off at my dad's and never looked back, and I was five. Delores wasn't exactly thrilled about raising her mate's mistake; she and my dad already had a daughter together, Kelsy. But at least Delores raised me and wouldn't let my dad send me away.

Kelsy was beautiful with her long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Kelsy was brilliant in the training fields, though she lacked intelligence in school. The shadow pack's Alpha is George, Thorton and his Mate, and luna is Terri. The Alpha and Luna have only one child, Gabriel, Thorton, the future Alpha of the shadow pack.

Gabriel was disgusted when he found out I was his mate, and he said the Moon-Goddess had to make a mistake because an Alpha could never be mated to an Omega. I got the title Omega because I am what they call a half-breed. My father is a full-blooded werewolf, and my mother was a mere human. Gabriel rejected me on the spot, and I couldn't force him to want nor love me. So I did the only thing I could do, I accepted his rejection.

I thought the pain from rejection would have been a lot worse, but it wasn't as bad as everyone said it would be.

The Caputo kingdom. The kingdom in which I will be living, The Alpha King, has set rules that have to be followed the punishment if those rules are disobeyed? Death. No, exceptions. The rumors spread about how The Alpha King hates women. So he forces all the unmated she-wolves into slavery; if you don't find your mate by seventeen, the Alpha king decides your fate. Rumors also spread about how ruthless, cruel, and unable to love. I hope he has mercy on me.

I was near seventeen, and I will be a slave in the palace in precisely three days due to rejection. So naturally, I wasn't thrilled about living as an enslaved person, but getting away from my father and this pack brought me some joy. Although I'd miss my friends Katie and Amanda terribly, I would miss my freedom even though I am a slave here. At least I know. If I wanted to, I could run. But unfortunately, trying to run from the palace is suicidal. The Alpha King will kill you on the spot.

I kept my wolf secret from everybody. If anyone were to find out about Sage, they would poison me with wolfsbane to get rid of her. Omegas don't have wolves in my pack. As far as everyone was concerned, I was fully human. And I wanted it to stay that way.
