I Don't Believe In Love, Alpha

Chapter 1

Artemis' P.O.V

Beep! Beep! Beep!

I wake up to the sound of my alarm at 5:30, training day this should be fun, I finally got the alpha to agree with teen training instead of waiting until they are eighteen. I got up out of my king sized bed and made my way to my bathroom. After taking a quick shower, I stood in the mirror putting my hair in a ponytail, My hair was pure white like my wolf, I was about 5'9 and pretty well built, I do train every day, my eyes are an unusual greenish orange, so in other words I'm not like the average female. I have been told I was pretty, and have had a few humans try to hit on me, but their attempts generally failed, because love was something I didn't have, as I considered it a weakness. After I fix the loose strands from my ponytail, I go over to my closet and put on a black sports bra, a yellow Nike dry fit tank top and some black running shorts.

It's about 5:55 by the time I get out to the training field (I hate being late). Once I wait out the remaining five minutes I see teens start to trickle in, all looking sleepy and grumbling. The field was halfway full, considering we were a pretty large pack. "Good Morning, I see that all of you got probably no sleep last night doing, who knows what, so I think it's about time I wake up you sleeping beauties, give me five laps around the perimeter, and absolutely NO WALKING. Understood?" I got a few grumbles in response and the all slowly made their way to the starting point, so they want to test my patience on the first day ok, I was going to make today easy, but it looks like nice Artemis is about to take a hike. "NOW!!!" That got them moving and within the next 20 seconds they were all ready to begin, and at my whistle they ran. Once they were done I gave them a three minute breather and water break as I set up the equipment. "I was going to make today a lot easier on you kiddos, but since we like to dawdle it appears as if I'm going to have the most fun today. Now everyone pair off and find a mat. Today pups, we will turn into wolves."

After about three more hours I decided they had gone through enough torture and instructed them to wait in the dining room. I made my way to the kitchen and made them all breakfast; eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, toast, omelets, hash browns, grits, and some sliced fruit. "All right come and get it!" All of the teens came rushing in and began filling their plates. Mark, the Alpha's little brother and my sidekick in mischief, yelled across the table, "Man Artemis where did you learn to cook this is amazing!" After his statement others began to question me aswell. "After high school I majored in culinary at the university. Now all of you finish your food and rest up, tomorrow we start the hard stuff. Have a good rest of the day." I heard a collective groan as I left the pack house and made my way to my own house.

I got home, showered, and changed into my work clothes. I don't usually have to go in office on weekends, but the arrival of the King has our town going crazy. I got in my silver Subaru BRZ, and drove to the town hall. When I walked into my office, glancing up at the plaque that read 'Chairwoman: Planning Commission'. I took this job to make sure the town and the wolves could coexist peacefully. As soon as I sit down at my desk I hear a squeal.

My secretary, Ella must have found something interesting, over the years I've learned what her squeals mean, as she is easily excited. "Artemis! Have you seen the King?? He is sooo gorgeous, I will even admit that he is cuter than Channing Tatum, and you know how I feel about that human made of pure sexyness." I raised an eyebrow as I looked up at her from my computer. "I will never understand you and your obsession but he must really be something if he got you to say that."

Her smile widened, "So, do you think there is a possibility that he-" I lowered my eyes warningly at her, don't you dare finish that sentence Ella. "Oh come on he just turned 25 last week, he's single, still hasn't found his mate, he's gorgeous, and I think-" "Ella I have told you before that I don't have a mate, and don't need a relationship, I am perfectly fine, now quit trying to find me matches and get to work we have a lot to do for his arrival. She looked a bit defeated, but she had a glint of determination in her eyes, she was definitely not going to let this topic go.

At about 4:30 we had finished off all preparations for his arrival at 12:00 tonight. I mind linked Alpha Jason Everything is arranged properly. The King's arrival won't be announced until noon tomorrow. I ended up giving Ella a ride home since her ride had cancelled. I eventually made my way to the pack house to begin cooking dinner and greet the King along with the other leaders of the pack. I made a huge pot of chicken alfredo, and proceeded to sit down with the Alpha, Beta, Third in Command, Gamma, who were joined by their mates and children. I didn't feel lonely although I was surrounded by families. As dinner continued, I began discussing the arrival of the King with the Beta's mate Leah. "So miss all powerful white wolf who can kick an Alphas butt, do you think that he will find his mate in our pack." I just shrugged my shoulder, "He's been looking for her for a while, I just hope he finds her soon, and maybe work won't be so hectic." She looked at me raising an eyebrow, "You know you're a workaholic, you're even in your work clothes still, and while I do find it funny about the complaints I heard from the teens, you need to take a break girl."

After dinner I pushed what Leah said to the back of my mind 'Keep your guard up Artemis something is going to happen tonight, I'm not sure if it is good or bad yet, but stay on your guard' and with that my wolf, Erophina shut me out. By 5:30 we had cleaned our plates and split up. The leaders had gone to the Alpha's office, and their families went to the entertainment room to watch a movie, or play games. Once we had all gathered in the office we took our respective seats at the conference table. "Everything is ready for tonight I have received a call from the King's Beta that they have left and are heading towards our territory. Artemis, you will give him a tour of the training session at 1:00 P.M. after the announcement of his 'arrival' and if he has not yet found his mate during the announcement. All of us shall meet out front at 11:45, I will inform you if there are any issues. You are dismissed until the hour, and remain within the pack house until then in case anything happens." We all stood after saying 'yes Alpha' in unison.

I made my way to the weapon area and organize the mock weapons for tomorrow's lessons, and then made my way to the entertainment room were everyone was. I whooped Mark's butt, much to his dismay, in Madden 25. When we finished it was about the time we were all supposed to meet, and the leaders got up and waited outside the entrance.

At 11:59, I began to smell this enticing scent, I couldn't quite figure it out but it smelled like rain, with vanilla. My wolf began to surface a bit but I didn't let her take control, as we had to make a good impression, so I stood tall and folded my hands behind my back. At midnight exactly a tall figure emerged from the tress and stood in front of our Alpha. He toward over my Alpha at a staggering height of 6'5, he was clothed in a white button down shirt that showed off his well-muscled body, and black slacks, he had hair that was nearly black and neatly organized on his head with rebel strands falling into his face, his skin seemed to have been kissed by the sun, with ta face only Aphrodite could carve from marble, and his eyes were a deep green. He was gorgeous Ella really wasn't kidding about his looks, and that smell seemed to just roll off of him. He greeted the alpha and Jason began to introduce us. Snap out of it Artemis, you are not some she wolf that drools over a guy. I focused back just as I was being introduced.

"...and this is our best warrior in the pack Artemis." The king made eye contact and said the one thing that I never expected and it would change my life forever. "Mine"
