Chapter two~Her

BAYLON

I wouldn't have been what you call an average alphas son. In the fact that I had absolutely no desire whatsoever in being an alpha, although that is what my father said my future held. I personally didn't see how it was going to work myself, see I was sort of an introvert. I mean I had friends....well two friends. It counts even when ones your cousin right? Randy was the pack Betas son, and billy was my cousin, I'd grown up with them my whole life. That's probably why I trusted them more than anyone else. Other kids were uninteresting to me, Their bond with me was like no one had, it never changed, no matter what happened. Even when we got old enough to discover the girls. But I guess I am what you would call the loner wolf of us three . I have never been the type of person who was charismatic I would say. I hardly spoke to the pack members my age, so Conversations with strangers were not at the top of my list.Clearly I was unapproachable,they would only bow and keep walking.

I do have to say myself that me and my friends are completely different. They were popular, but I never held that against them. Randy loved to run so he was on the track team. I had never seen anyone who loved to run as much as he did, even when we shifted and we would just take runs through the forest everyone else would eventually wear out. But not Randy , so we'd just sit, relax, and let him run and meet us back where he left us. his running left him totally exilarated. Billy on the other hand was more of a big, brawny guy. He was the captain of the football team, so he wasn't the smartest but I guess he loved running and tackling people.and he was great at combat. Not to say that I wasnt fit as well, I was made to practice combat as well.

Needless to say, they were supremely popular, had many friends, and the girls just fell from the sky onto their laps daily. I, on the other hand was nothing like either of them. I was always into reading books... ALOT of books. I was into classic novels and poetry. Randy and Billy loved to call me a lame, I didn't care though, because I loved all that books gave me that I guessed other people in our pack didn't get it. And sometimes, in secret, I would describe a book so well that I would convince them to read as well.

I was also into all types of music and secretly taught myself to play the guitar, but I didn't tell anybody about that secret part of me either, except them. Nobody should or would ever know about that. And although I hated going to that crappy building everyday I attended school on the regular. I kept to myself, did my work, and minded my own business. The only other guy I kind of talked to was Jeffery Purser. We went to all of the same classes. But I suppose that's what got me a GPA of 4.0 even if I hated being there everyday, keeping to myself. Jeff was a loner also so we could relate to each other. He wanted to leave the pack as well so he was the only guy that I could tell my true feelings of wanting to go to. I think that he felt pleased to be the only one who knew the real true me that noone else knew. I told him that if he told anyone he would surely die, but I   knew that he wouldnt anyway. We were friends.

My Father instilled in me and my brother and sisters to always do our best at all that we do in life, and I suppose his words stayed with me. He was one of the best alphas in the country. He was a big man and not only in stature but in character as well. He could be as gentle as a lamb when it came to all the little pack children. Or as fierce as a wild wolf when need be. I, at the time didn't understand why he pushed so hard for me to take over as alpha , when in my opinion he was perfectly capable of continuing to be alpha of the pack. Yeah maybe one or two hairs on his head were turning a bit grey, but so what, he was still very young to me. I mean he and my mom were still dancing in the rain , going out for runs in the forest together , and my little brother was only four years old. People used to say my mom looked so young to have children our age, I knew that everyone felt she was beautiful and not just in looks, but in spirit. She was amazing. They were perfect together..
