The Alpha Wolf's Mate:

A/N: Hey guys, this is the 3rd long story I've started writing and I just wanted to let you guys know that I will still be updating the others, I find that it's easier for me to have a few fanfics going at once this enables me to draw ideas from one another as well as have something else to work on when I hit a writer's block. I originally wrote the first chapter and published it in 3rd person but decided to change it to 1st. Anyway enjoy!

Chapter 1: Snow White

(Hermione POV)

I looked up at my new house, it was a gorgeous. A 2 story, white wood, with a dark veranda that wrapped around the top floor, and dark wooded front veranda. The front door was a dark wood, double doors with a gold door knocker. Huge windows framed the door, seeing into the open plan living the house possessed. As I walked into the house a small smile finding it's way onto my face, the interior was beautiful, floor to ceiling soft off white curtains framed the windows, the kitchen had dark wooden cabinets with marble bench tops, the wooden flooring went through the whole house except for the bedrooms. 2 downstairs and 3 upstairs, each room had its own built in closet. Downstairs was the 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry, kitchen, lounge and her study/library; one of the biggest rooms in the house, shelves lined all the walls floor to ceiling except one. One wall had a huge window looking out towards the sea. The second floor had 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms along with another library, slightly smaller than the downstairs one but more personnel, this room held all my favourite books, my first editions, my signed copies, the books I'd written myself for the magical world along with the books on every type of magic you can think off. This room didn't have a window but it did have double French doors that opened out onto the veranda. As I walked out onto my veranda I was in awe, the veranda was covered in greenery, roses and ivy twisted along the banisters and down the columns to the ground below, this was my new home and I loved it.

As I stood on the veranda I couldn't help but admire the view, the gorgeous blue sea lay stretched out in front of me, on either side lay a huge, green forest.

'Perfect place to let my wolf run' I thought happily, my smile grew as I ruefully remembered the day I found out I was a shapeshifter.

*Flashback*

'Fred', I screamed, my eyes widening in fear as I saw him hit with a curse, he fell a scream on his lips,

'Well, well, well, it's one of the little blood traitors,' a death eater spat as 2 more advanced on Fred, he was hunched over in pain, 'I'm going to kill you, slowly,' one of them cackled, the voice belonging to non-other than Bellatrix, I saw red in the moment Bellatrix raised her wand and screamed, 'CRUCIO!'

A growl tore from my lips, how dare she hurt my brother!

I felt the magic fill my body, a completely new and odd feeling a ripping sound was heard followed by an ear shattering howl, my own howl I realized. The battle around me faltered, eyes widened as they looked at me, looking in the reflection of an unbroken window, I could see myself, pure white and the size of a horse, my chocolate brown eyes remained, my coat, other than the pitch-black paws and the black tips of my ears, was white, snow white.

My canines drew back as I growled, my muscles tensed as I pounced on the witch who had tortured me, who had ruined and scarred my body almost beyond recognition, I didn't care that I was scarred beyond repair, I didn't care about the nightmares that plagued my nights due to the constant Crucio's I had endured, but for her to dare try and hurt my brothers, my family, my own pack! She would die for that, I'd had already lost my parents, I'd be damned if I lost my adopted family as well.

My jaws came down onto the crazed witches neck with a force none had seen before, a sickening crack was heard throughout the great hall as I shook huge wolf head and threw the now dead witch against the wall.
I was off then, destroying, tearing limb from limb the wizards who dare hurt my family. The battle started up again at the screech of Voldemort's despair as his right-hand woman was killed, the battle was fiercer almost as if the light side saw hope in my huge white wolf form, as I decapitated vampires and sunk my teeth into Death Eaters.

Within minutes Voldemort breathed his final breath, Harry was victorious, the light had won.

I noticed the Weasley's running through the crowd, tracking down their missing family, soon they were all together with the exception of Fred, George and myself, I felt Harry's eyes upon me I knew he quickly told the others as soon my family slowly walked towards me. Their eyes full of surprise quickly followed by relief as they gazed upon a sight I don't think anyone expected.

The Twins arms were wrapped around my neck and each other, their heads buried in my thick fur, I could feel their tears pouring down their faces, as they thanked me over and over again for saving their lives, As the twins drew back onto their knees in a synchronised move, I approached, gently I bowed my head first to Fred and then to George, pushing my forehead against theirs, nuzzling their necks, letting them know I loved them.
Exhaustion overtook me, it was the first time I phased, I found out later that the first phase is always the worst and requires and unbelievable amount of energy, I lay down and rested my head in the lap of George, curling up into a ball, I slowly started to calm down, focusing on becoming human again. Soon enough I was once again Hermione the with, my wild curls covering my face and neck, a tiny fragile form in the arms of her brothers. Quickly Fred removed his cloak and fastened it around my shoulders, George gathered me in his arm and stood. Despite his battle-weary body, he told me later that he found this quite easy, that didn't surprise me, I was half starved and even at a healthy weight, I was a small woman.

*End Flashback*

I smiled fondly at the memory, despite the pain and horror of battle I had formed a bond that rivalled that of the one I shared with Harry and Ron. Despite the new close bond, and the ending of the war I wasn't happy in England, the Weasleys had taken me in when my parents had died but I just felt the need to leave. So, I did. After a lot of thought, and discussion with Remus and Sirius, I was the godmother of Teddy after all, I told my family of my plans, packed my things, transferred all my new fortune, bestowed upon me by the Ministry and the will of Dumbledore, bought a house, caught a plan and moved to the only place I could think off, the birthplace of my father. La Push.

I didn't just move to La Push because my father was born here but also because it was where my true pack was. After many long nights of research I had come upon the Quileute legend, it made sense of course, my grandfather on my dad's side was on the Council of Elders and the gene had run through my family for a long time. I didn't know much about the tribe themselves, on a personnel level that is, my father moved away to study in London and fell in love, he returned many times, with both my mother and myself as a young child but when my grandfather died, he never went back, the pain of losing both parents, along with the fact he had no uncles, cousins or siblings, there just wasn't an anchor for him anymore.

I sighed softly, I wasn't quite sure how to approach the Council or the Tribe but knew I had too,

'Maybe a run in the morning would clear my mind,'

With one last look towards the forest, I walked inside my new home, 'Thank god I've already unpacked' I thought as I fell on my bed and drifted off to sleep.

I woke in the morning feeling more refreshed than I had in a while, international travel plus unpacking my whole house had exhausted me enough that I'd been able to sleep through the night. After having a quick shower, I flew down the stairs and into my beautiful kitchen scarfing down some eggs for breakfast before running out the front door. I was dressed in a simply loose tank top and some old ripped denim shorts, I didn't bother with any underwear or even shoes, they would just get ripped when I phased. My wand stayed at home, I no longer needed it, during my time on the run I had perfected wandless AND wordless magic to the point that my wand wouldn't be needed, I still took it mostly everywhere with me though, it was comforting.

I stretched my legs and arms, before jogging towards the forest to warm my body up, not far into the forest I phased, my huge wolf form a remarkable difference from my tiny 5ft5 form, shaking my mass I let out a howl of happiness and bounded into the forest, 'I feel like a pup', I giggled, enjoying the feel of the earth beneath my feet.

I couldn't remember how long I'd been running until I felt a presence, it wasn't threatening really, more curious and slightly commanding, his scent was intoxicating, I felt drawn to it, I couldn't see him, but I felt him, making up my mind to figure out who this mysterious, delicious smelling being was I sped up. I ran so fast my paws were soon nothing but a blur, I could feel a difference in the trees and soon came upon a clearing, whipping around, I came to a stop, coming muzzle to muzzle with a huge pitch black hulking wolf, his ears were tipped in white, and he had a pure white streak down his face, neck and chest. Looking into the wolf's eyes I was taken aback at how blue they were, an almost bright blue, they held an intelligence and curiosity that could only be human.

'He must be one of the phased', I thought. 'By the size, I'd say the Alpha, his scent, god's it's wonderful, intoxicating.'

As I spotted a pair of shorts tied to the hind leg of the wolf I knew I was right. A cheeky thought crossed my mind, 'I wonder'

'I'm going to meet them all eventually, may as well make it unforgettable' a soft growl murmured in my chest, as I giggled. With that final thought, I launched myself at the handsome black wolf taking him off guard as he fell onto his back, his eyes widened as I started to blur, beginning my phasing, picking up on what I was doing he did the same.

As I finished phasing I looked down and stopped breathing, his eyes were a cerulean blue, I felt his strong arms wrap around my body, he completely dwarfed me, but I felt safe, secure, content.

It felt as if everything stopped, the invisible bonds tying me to the earth snapped only to be connected to him, I felt my magic swell and grow, reaching towards him, swarming himself with my presence, his magic accepted, pulling me into him, I could feel my soul melding with his until it became one.

He blinked and I was quickly pulled back to the present,

'I imprinted!' I blurted out, noticing he did the same.

My eyes met his cerulean and before I could stop myself I leant down and softly kissed his lips, sealing our bond. His arms tightened around my, making me smile against his lips, bringing our bodies as close as possible.

The kiss was gentle, soft and curious, I whimpered at the loss of his lips against my own as he pulled away only to let out a moan as my mysterious imprint flipped us over, his lips ghosting down the side of my neck, 'I'm in heaven' I thought. My moan turned to a soft growl as he nipped at my tender flesh, situated between my neck and collarbone. My nipples started to harden

Not wanting to submit to him just yet I rolled on top of him once again, straddling his waist, I started by pressing quick kiss against his lips, soon followed by gentle tender kisses across his jaw line and down his neck, I felt rather than heard my imprints chest rumble as he growled as I bit him, gently kissing the bite mark I left on his shoulder, I couldn't help but nuzzle into his warm embrace.

'Sam' he said, his voice deep and husky, I felt her abdomen swarm with heat at his voice,

'My name is Sam' he said again

'Hermione' I replied. I felt his arms tighten around his, maybe my voice has the same effect on him as his does on me, I mused.

No more words were exchanged, we just lay there embracing each other, basking in the revelation that we had found each other. That I had found him, my imprint.

I wasn't sure how long I stayed in Sam's embrace, breathing in his scent, until I dozed up into a light slumber, that is until we were distracted.

'What the fuck is going on here?' a voice rumbled. The strangers voice was deep, not quite as deep as Sam's though.

My head snapped up as did Sam's, there in front of us was a pack of boys, no men, and one woman, they were all looking at us, didn't take a genius to figure out why, we were utterly naked lying on the ground, leaves and grass in our hair, completely relaxed and at ease with each other. You would never have guessed that we'd only met only a few hours ago.

'I imprinted' Sam spoke, his voice, deep and husky only this time in had a double timbr,

'I was right', I thought as I looked up at my imprint, 'He is the Alpha.'

'On a wolf, and she imprinted on me', Sam continued, at this comment the surrounding men and woman jaws fell open. I knew why, imprinting itself was rare enough, imprinting on another wolf (phased wolf) was unheard off, legends say this only happens when an Alpha wolf meets another Alpha whose magic is identical to their own, and whose soul has been split into 2 bodies.

'Well fuck' one of the men comments, 'We better tell the Elders.

A/N Hey guys, I hope you liked it, I was going to split it up but I personally prefer longer chapters, so enjoy.
