A few  men were interested in me and that felt nice. They spoke, they flirt and they  spoke of choosing me. Then, they saw my strength and change their minds. I was too weak for them. Later, One Male Werewolf who was extremely interested in me but my mind started to think that ‘I wasn’t for him’, after he got a closer look at my score. Luhan just stood next to me, shaking his head in annoyance.

“You deceive better than that anyway”.

“Thanks, Luhan” I smiled at him. I knew he was trying to make me feel better. I took a glass of water on the table behind me before handing one to Luhan. We stood inside one of the marques, the summer sun shining setting. Luhan took the glass from me before popping a  finger sandwich into his mouth.

My best friend caught the eye of another girl, who smiled at him flirtatiously. Luhan didn't even pay her mind and turned back to me. He had dismissed every She Wolf who had tried to flirt with him and refused to seek out any girl he wanted. His behaviour was odd.

Luhan sighed, before moving closer to me. I frowned as his face turned serious, it wasn't often that Luhan was serious. I was quiet and serious friend, and he was the jovial and immature friend, that is why we got on so well.

"Look, Min Younggie, I've been thinking that--"

"Excuse me" a male voice interrupted Luhan. I turned to see a tall man with ash hair and light eyes. He wasn't unfortune looking either. I offered him a smile, hoping he was just another suitor trying for my hand.

"Ye ?" I asked, as Luhan scowled for being interrupted.

"Ji Min Young?" he questioned, eyes briefly flicking down to my badge. I nodded yes and he continued. "I am Beta Chanyeol of Endoro Pack. Alpha Wu asked me to find you and bring you to him" he told me. At his words my blood started to ran cold and my face fell.

"No" Luhan spoke up, slipping his arm around my waist and pulling me to his side. I crashed into his broad side and quikcly grabbed a hold of his shirt in fear. I didn't want him to leave me alone with Alpha Wu  or with the Blood Alpha.

Beta Chanyeol frowned before glaring at Luhan. "Do not speak to me like that, pup. And do not touch Min Young" he growled out. With an amzing strength, he grabbed me and pulled me away from Luhan. "Now stand down".

"She will be my mate" Luhan snapped, lunging forward to grab me. Beta Chanyeol pushed me behind him before I even had a chance to think over Luhan's words. He wanted me as a mate. He wanted to choose me.

Luhan and I had been friends for as long as I could remember, and there had never be any romantic feelings between us. Well, not as far as I knew. But I couldn't deny that I hadn't thought about Luhan and I ending up together, it would be easy for us. We never had secrets, we knew everything about one another. It would be easy to be with him and I jnew that, I had always know that.

"Watch your mouth pup" Beta Chanyeol growled. The commotion was causing a scene and a few of the ritual orginisers rushed over. I blushed deeply, hiding behind by curtain of hair.

"Beta, is something wrong?" one of the man asked, looking between the three if us in confusion.

"Keep this pup away from Min Young. She will be  chosen by Alpha Wu" he replied and it wasn't only me who was shocked. Everyone nearby gasped. Alpha Wu was known for always keeping away from relationships and emotional attachments. It was the last year for him to claim a mate and he had make it very clear that he hadn't planned to choose a female.

I couldn't deny that Alpha Wu was attractive but that did nothing to discourage from the fact he was a murderer, a monster. The Blood Alpha. I didn't want to be chosen by Alpha, I wanted to be chosen by Luhan or someone else. Anyone else. Just not the Blood Alpha.

"No,she'll be chosen by me. Min Young is mine" Luhan growled out. I had never heard him sound so angry or possessive in my life. He didn't sound like my friend Luhan, he sounded like every other male Wolf. I didn't like that but I would have rather been with him than the infamous Alpha Wu.

"Take him away" the Beta yelled.

"Understood Beta Chanyeol" one of the workers said, before two of them grabbed Luhan. My friend growled and snapped, as he fought against them. But, they just dragged him away.

"LUHAN" I called after him, moving away from Beta Chanyeol and trying to go after  my friend.

"Do not run, Min Young. Alpha Wu will not like that".

"I don't want them to hurt him" I whispered, "I just want to make sure he doesn't get send out". The Beta just rolled his eyes at my words, as of they were childish.

"I don't care what you want. But I will give Alpha Wu what he wants. And he wants you. So stop this behaviour and follow me, before I beat you into submission". His voice was powerful and dominant. He was no Alpha, but he was still a lot higher than me and a simple pack Wolf with no title.

His words scared me and I felt tears prickling at my eyes. I didn't want him to beat me and I didn't want to be mated to Alpha Wu. "Don't cry" Beta Chanyeol snaped, annoyed. His words made me ever more upset and I felt more tears rising. "Come". He grabbed my arm and fingers digging into my arm, and he pulled me after him.

Tears began to fall as he dragged me through the mutual territory. He took me to a smaller marquee towards back the curtain to drag me into it. As soon as we walked in, I gulped.

Alpha Wu sat on a chair, eyes staring at the floor in his usual emotionless stare. When we walked in, his eyes snapped up to us. He looked at me, before frowning deeply. Fear ran through me and maybe I wasn't as pretty as he first thought and because of that he was going to kill me.

"Why is she crying?"Alpha Wu demanded, looking at his second in command. Beta Chanyeol just shrugged, as if he had no idea. Alpha Wu didn't buy it and frowned deeply. His frown was the most emotion I had seen that far. He turned to me. "Why are you crying?" he asked.

His voice just made me more fearful. But it was odd, I was more afraid of Beta Chanyeol than  Alpha Wu. I mean, I wasn't planning to be best friend with him any time but the fact he was going to choose me made me look at him differently.

All day male Wolves had been shunning me bacause of my weakness, yet Alpha Wu is someone who should have been shunning me because of mmy weakness, wanted to make me his mate. That made me feel slighty safe as if he saw past the labelling score. Yet ,Alpha Wu still terrified me.

"Well?" he snapped, when I didn't reply. "Why are you crying?" His harsh voice made me whimper, dropping my head once more. More tears fell from my eyes at an ever faster rate. "Look at me". Grabbing my chin once more anf he forced me to meet his green eyes. "What happened?"

"I'm scared" I whimpered out, my voice almost lost in the soft summer breeze.

'Of what?" Alpha Wu demanded, no sympathy in his tone.

"He said he'd beat me" I confessed.

"My Beta?" he asked, jaw settting in anger and fury. I nodded yes and instantly regretted it. Turning on his heels, he faced Beta Chanyeol. He grabbed his Beta's collar, before smashing his fist into his face. I screamed as Beta Chanyeol's nose cracked and breaking almost instantly. He fell to the floor, as blood spurted from his face.

Alpha Wu didn't pause, he bent down and continued to beat him. I cried harder, and screamed a few times as I watched him, the man who planned to take me as a mate, continue to punch and kick Beta Chanyeol. But, there was no emotion on his face.

When he'd finished bating him, the Beta was unconsious and bloodied. Alpha Wu turned away from him, before looking at me. His frown returned when he took my crying form in. He then look his shirt off and used it to mop up the blood from his hands.

Alpha Wu's body was large and well toned, his abs prominent and obvious. He looked at me, once he'd finished cleaning himself, before walking over to me. He stopped when he was only few inches away from me. My heart was pounding out of fear.

He took my hand, in his, and brought it to his toned body. I blushed, as he ran my hand over his hard body. I wasn't sure what he was doing but I didn't ask or question him. He brushed my hand over his abs and chest a few more time, before dropping it.

"Very odd' he mumbled to himself. I wanted to ask him what was odd but decided against it. I was worried he would find me intruding, so I stayed deathly silence. "Come" he instructed, before walking away. I followed him without queries.

Alpha Wu didn't stop walking until we reached at a different part of the marquee. There were a few chairs there, and a table filled with drinks and food. I knew it was tent reserved for Alpha's, Luhan had pointed it out to me. He had also mentioned that Alpha Wu was the only Alpha there to find a mate.

"Sit" he nodded to a chair. I did as I was told, as perched on the chair. Alpha Wu studied me for a few minutes, his eyes scanning my body closely. I felt very self-conscious and curled into myself slightly. Before I'd even thought about it, a question flew from my mouth.

"Alpha Wu?" I asked.

"Kris" he interrupted me. I gave him a confused look. "My name is Kris". It was odd him having a first name, not because I didn't think he had one but because it reminded me that he was still a normal person and he was going to be my mate. I would get to know him to, to mate him and to have his pup. The Blood Alpha was going to be my mate and his name was Kris Wu.

"Kris, why are you going to choose me?" I questined, worried for his answer.

"Because I want you" was his simple reply. I had worked out quickly, that Kris was a man of very few words.I wasn't a large talker, but at least I could hold a conversation. It seemed that Kris found talking more of a chore than a necessity.

"But why? I'm weak". My voice was small and childlike, I felt so pathetic and weak next to him. Kris continued to stare at me, his eyes wide and hard. He gave nothing away.

"I don't care about strength. I want you. So, now, you are mine". Kris gave me an intense look, green eyes piercing mine. We stayed like that for a few seconds, Kris staring at me and me holding his gaze as not to drop it and anger him. Finally, he broke the eye contact.

"It's time for the choosing" he stated, before turn and walk away from me. It took me a few seconds to realise he wanted me to follow him, so I had to jog a few steps to catch up. He walked with a big stride, which was hard for me to keep up with.

 Kris led me towards the centre of the mutual territory, where all the other She Wolves were lined up. They stood according to strength and then alphabetically. I was the only one ranked a three for my strength, so I was slightly embarassed to have to line with the others. But, then, I remembered that an Alpha would choose me.

The male Wolves all stood around the line, there was a low murmur of chatter over the group. "Follow me" Kris told me, taking my arm and pulling me towards the line of She Wolves. Everyone fell silent as they saw the Blood Alpha dragging a weak She Wolf to the line, it was shock to everyone. I blushed from the attention.

He walked me to the line, every single pair of an eyes on me. He found the other She Wolves with my same ranking and took me to them. With a simple glare of his hard eyes, the Wolves all moved to make room for me. Kris placed me in the line before walking back to where all the males stood.

I would felt nervous being so on show, under normal circumtances, but as everyone knew that an Alpha like Kris had interest in me, I felt even more nervous. I ringed my hands, keeping them in front of them as I bit my bottom lip. I was terrified.

One of the workers for the Ritual stepped forward and began to talk. The blood that pounded in my ears was too loud, I didn't hear a single word she said. But she didn't speak for long because soon she began to call out names.

"Song Jihyo" she annouced, standing in front of the first girl in the line.

"Mine" a male Wolf voiced, taking a step out of the crowd. There were a few seconds of pause, making sure no one else tried to choose her, before the woman nodded. Then the man walked over, took the girl's hand and led her away.

The woman continued her way down the line and calling allowed each She Wolves name. Most got chosen, but a few were unclaimed. Each girl that wasn't chosen looked both upset and embarrassed and stayed where they were. I felt sorry for them, I had expected to be like them before meeting Kris.

When she reached me, I felt my breath catch in my throat. "Ji Min Young" she shouted.

Not a second past before Kris's voice sounded out. "She's mine". He stormed over to me and grabbed me. A small pit of both nerves and excitement bubbled in the bottom of my stomach. I was being chosen by an Alpha - never, ever, in my wildest dreams did I think that was going too happened. But it did, I was chosen by not only an Alpha, but the Blood Alpha.
