Filed to story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel
“We don’t know if you will shift immediately after the change is over. You will rip your clothes, which hurts the first time you shift. Plus, if your new wolf is a little frightened then we don’t want him running amok and hurting people.”
His words made sense, and I wanted to be a wolf, so I just did as he told me to. Once I was naked and in the prison cell Joaquin came in after me.
“Now, I have to get a little closer to you than either of us would likely be comfortable with. I don’t want to look into your face when I do this so I will stand behind you while you sit down.” This was sounding so crazy right now. If I didn’t know that the man was madly in love with his wife I would question his motives right now. Still, I sat on the cot in the cell while Joaquin walked behind me.
“When this works, you can mark Ella with a mate mark, here, on the left side of her neck. I, however, am going to bite you on the right side. It will be like a vampire biting someone but with a wolf mouth instead.”
I was trying to take in everything that he was saying but I noticed that he was also taking his clothes off.
“What the fuck are you doing?” I screamed at him in a panic.
“Calm down dumbass. I am shifting into one of my other forms to bite you.”
“One?” I know my eyebrows had shot up at his words.
“Yes, it now seems like I have a lycan form. I can look just like a Hollywood werewolf.” He laughed then and I remembered when he told me about the wolves for the first time. This was so weird.
I didn’t usually look at naked men, and I was definitely not looking at that. But I watched as Joaquin, the Alpha King of shifter changed, not into a big four legged wolf but into a massive lycanthrope. It was actually cool though still scary as hell. What weirded me out the most was when he spoke.
“Turn around.” It sounded like he was having trouble enunciating the words since he had said them slowly.
I did as he told me to and tried to ignore the fact that a naked man behind me turned into a real werewolf and was about to bite me. I closed my eyes and waited for the process to start.
Without warning Joaquin latched onto my neck. It wasn’t hard but it still hurt and I instantly felt a massive amount of cold enter my body. Was this the power of the magic that was needed to change me?
I don’t know, and probably never would, since the flow of that cold knocked me unconscious in less than two minutes.
When I woke up two days later I was standing on four legs and covered in fur. It had worked, I was a wolf. However, Ella was a little peeved that I didn’t tell her I was leaving for a few days. I had to apologize profusely but she forgave me, especially considering what I had done for us.
About two months after I was changed into a werewolf, that was no different from Ella, our babies were born. Sophia and Isabella were born just after one in the afternoon on September nineteenth. We were a happy little family and I couldn’t be more proud.

I couldn’t believe my ears when I was told what was happening. The Alpha and Luna, Joaquin and Riviana, were on their way back from France. They were rushing to get home so they could strategize. There was going to be a battle. A possible conclusion to this war we have been waging over the last year.
The evil Warlock known as Edmond was advancing on the city and there would be casualties. I knew that there would be a lot of people injured. I knew that my services would be needed. But that didn’t mean that I wasn’t worried.
I didn’t want to see any senseless loss of life. I didn’t want to see those hideous monsters that had attacked us when we went to the Warlock headquarters. I didn’t want any of this.
I wouldn’t run away though. I wouldn’t shirk my responsibilities. I am a man and a wolf. I would follow through with my duties with honor, dignity, and pride. That’s what it means to be a man and a wolf.
I wasn’t wanted on the front lines. I wasn’t going to be there to see the battle. No, I was to be kept close to the edge of the city. I was meant to be on call for when the battle was over. I had to wait until I was needed.
There was someone else that was supposed to wait with me. Someone I hadn’t met yet. She had come back with Riviana and Joaquin from France and had been granted an ability that was like my own. We were both healers, we wanted to help people. We were the same.
I was sitting in a coffee shop at the edge of town, waiting for the other healer to arrive. I didn’t know what she looked like or even what her name was, but I would smell a wolf when they came in and I could just wait for her to come to me.
I had been waiting for about twenty minutes when I scented something that made my mouth water and my whole body want to react. A beautiful woman had just walked into the coffee shop. She had a lightly tanned complexion that looked natural, not like she had been in the sun to accomplish it. Her hair was chestnut brown and so long and wavy that I wanted to run my fingers through it. Her eyes, which I could see perfectly from where I was sitting, were such a bright crystal green that they looked partially transparent. She was stunning. The perfect figure, the most beautiful face, she was pure perfection and I was instantly in love.
I saw her looking around like she was trying to find someone specific. Was she trying to find me? She was a wolf after all. Was she the healer I was waiting for? I sincerely hoped so, because that scent of jasmine and tea told me that she was my mate.
I stood up, just staring at her and saw that she was looking at me with an equally shocked and happy expression that matched the one I knew was currently on my face. I watched with barely suppressed joy as she walked over to me with a smile on her face.
“A-are you Griffin?” She sounded nervous for a moment. Scared even, that she might have the wrong person.
“Yes, that’s me.” I sighed as I answered her, happy to have her come to me.
“My name is Lana.” She looked relieved. “Queen Riviana sent me here to meet you.”
“It’s wonderful to meet you Lana.” I was smiling happier than I had expected I would when meeting this woman.
I had given up on ever finding a mate. I was forty-four years old and had dedicated my entire life to helping others. I never thought I would ever meet the woman of my dreams and fate when such a trying time was upon us. I didn’t know if I should trust what was happening or if I should think that I was dreaming. Just for good measure I pinched myself, hard.
“Ouch!” I yelped when I felt the pain hit me.
“Why did you do that?” Lana asked me as she sat at the table I had been sitting at.
“I wanted to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I wanted to make sure I was fully awake because you’re like a dream come true.”
“Are all the men here such charmers, or is that just you?” She looked nervous again, like she was worried about my reaction to her words.
