The Liar, The Wolf, and the Songbird

Ellie Sako Fantasy

I had never given much thought to mates. It seemed to be the highlight of all wolves lives. To find their perfect other half, but not me. I was chosen as the next beta of my pack. Something I took seriously. I spent all of my time training and learning the ends and outs of the position from my father.
I had spent my entire life in the Appalachian Pack and when I turned eighteen, the age you find your mate, I wasn't surprised when I didn't immediately find her. I was solely focus on preparing for the day I took over for my father. My twin brother Adam showed no interest in the position. He said he would rather be a warrior so he could spend more time with his mate when he found her. To each their own I guess.
Imagine my surprise when I found out Cassandra was my mate. It wasn't what I had imagined it would be, or what i was told it would be. The world didn't stop on its axis. There was no desperate need to be with her. Even my wolf, Gentry, seemed to confused. We felt the pull, but it wasn't strong like my mother had told me it would be. It was more like a slight tug. What made it more bizarre was I had been around her my entire life and had never felt more than repulsion for her. She was notorious for trying to sleep her way through the ranks. Even she and Zeke, the future alpha, were an item at one time, but that all changed. A couple of years after high school, I found out Cassandra was my mate. It took another year for me to mark her because it took a year for me to come to terms with her being my mate. Now, here I am. Mated to Satan herself. But my world was about to be turned upside down, and I didn't even see it coming.
This story ties into The Alpha's Runaway Mate. In this story we follow Alec as he struggles to navigate through what is real and what is fiction.
