Twisted Fate (open m/m)

Loni had been an Alpha of a pack along with her mate, they had been so in love that she was sure they would always be together. That was until there was an attack on their pack by vampires, it had been chaos. She could remember so little of the fighting but one thing that stood out in her mind from that night was her being held by several vampires making her watch as they attacked her mate. Loni had screamed and begged for him but those holding her simply laughed as they attacked him, at some point they had decided to drag her away leaving her kicking and screaming trying to get back to him. The vampires took her to their nest where they kept her chained and fed from her, during the anguish she had felt Loni was certain she had felt her mate, the other half of her soul, die and that broke her.

She had spent three years in that nest, a broken shell of the woman she had once been. That was until she seemed to wake up from the haze of pain she was living in and she managed to runaway from the nest now they no longer kept her chained it was easy for her to escape. Once she was safe and free Loni decided not to be apart of a pack again, those from her old pack who had survived the attack had scattered to several other packs for safety and she was happy that some had lived from the attack. Even though she chose not to live in a pack again Alpha's in the area still treated her as if she was an Alpha of a pack and still invited her to important meetings and events they did even though she didn't feel that she deserved such a thing.

That was how she now found herself at a function to welcome the new Alpha King, all of the local packs had gathered at a club that was owned by one of the local Alpha's. Even though the event was a formal thing Loni had chosen to wear a pair of tightfitting black jeans, combat boots, a light gray tank top and a knee length black cardigan. Her snow white hair was gathered up into a messy ponytail and she looked around the room with her golden hues. Leaning against a wall comfortably her left hand in her front pocket and in her right hand she held a can of beer, she didn't want to be noticed but as normal Loni heard the whispers from the younger wolves who didn't know her story talk about how she was dressed and that a rogue wolf shouldn't be at such a place. Pushing off of the wall Loni walked over to a couple of the young ones and she smirked at them, "Once an Alpha, always an Alpha" she said as she walked past them a soft tinge of Russian to her words. Seeing the doors of the club open and a slew of people come in Loni stopped mid step as a familiar scent hit her, her heart rate picked up along with her breathing, the scent was that of her old mate but it was mixed with something else.

Shaking her head she made her way over to the bar and placed the empty beer can down and grabbed herself another one when tingles ran up and down her spine, the feeling of power always did that to her. Looking over towards the new commers she scanned them closely before her eyes landed on him. Loni would have known him anywhere. Her mate. Putting the fresh can of beer back down on the counter she stalked through the people keeping her eyes locked on him, there was something different about him but she couldn't put her finger on it. Stopping in front of him she started to open her mouth but stopped with a slightly taller female stepped in front of her blocking her sight of the man that haunted her dreams. "Move out of the Alpha King's way" the woman in front of her said glaring down at Loni making her raise a brow, "How about you move from in front of my mate" Loni growled out making the other woman laugh. "Really? You think you're his mate?" the woman teased making Loni fix her with a dangerous look, "Yes, he is my mate" she snarled before she felt a hand land on her right shoulder.

Looking behind her she saw John one of the few Alpha's who always went out of his way to make sure Loni was okay, he also paid her to take care of thralls that were turned violently. "Loni" John said softly giving her a sad look making her shake his hand from her shoulder, "It's him John" she snapped before she turned back to the woman in front of her but not fast enough as she was suddenly knocked off of her feet and sent flying backwards knocking over a few people who weren't paying attention to what was happening. "The Alpha King has no mate, you desperate female" the woman snapped as Loni pulled herself up to her feet a look coming over her face that screamed she would rip the other woman apart, but that was before John and a couple other Alpha's stood in front of her. "I'm sorry, Loni lost her mate sometime ago. But there has to be a reason she believes you're her mate" John said trying to calm the situation down making Loni growl behind him.
