I Volunteered To Carry The Alpha's HeirCHAPTER 01: Not a Fairytale

I CAN STILL HEAR the shaman’s words echoing in my mind.

“Alpha Damon will be mateless for the rest of his life.”

Those words are still playing in my mind and it hit me harder than I thought. I was worried looking at Alpha Damon, the alpha of the Black Moon Pack go still upon hearing that from the shaman. It has just been predicted that he will be mateless. And I know that this is really hard for him to accept.

I'm hurting for him. He's the man that I've been loving ever since before and it breaks my heart seeing him like this right now.

Moments later, I found him in the clearing at the edge of the woods, staring up at the full moon. His gaze was hard, his jaw set in the way it always was when he was carrying a burden he wouldn’t share with anyone.

“Alpha Damon…” I said softly, stepping closer.

He tensed, but didn’t turn. “Go back to your pack, Kierra. Don't go here in my territory again without your father.”

“I’m not leaving you,” I replied, my voice firmer than I’d expected. “You shouldn’t have to go through this alone. I know… everything is hard for you right now.”
