Bulletproof Alpha

Chapter 1

Scars. Scratches. Burns.

The permanent reminder of events better left forgotten. The strong reminder that our past is real.

It has been said 'time heals all wounds'. In my opinion, the wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens, even if just a little. But it never goes away.

Scars are just another kind of memory. They show pain, suffering and will to survive. Holding the pain they bring is easy, just not for long.

Why? Because of the eyes.

Our eyes are a mirror of what and who we are. A mirror of our emotions, especially when we don't want them known.

My eyes changed that night and have remained like that since. How do eyes change from blue to black? One of the answers I'll probably never have.

In a way they fit perfectly. They reflect what I am and feel inside. Dark. Bitter. Twisted. Deadly. Alone.

One unique trade we possess is our eyes. More specifically, our wolf's eyes. Each color has a different meaning and is unique in some way.

Red> Bloodthirsty

Green> Relentless

Gold> Manipulative

Silver> Trapper

Purple> Pacifist

Blue> Submissive

Red and Gold. The rarest of colors. Red can only appear on a midnight black wolf as green can only appear on a gold wolf. It is said that when one is born the other will soon follow. One cannot exist without the other. They balance each other out. Mates or not. However, never before has it been heard of them being mates.

Sapphire is powerful, like she was born to be. We are feared because of what our eyes mean. Whether they believe the rumor or not, they don't risk defying me, because if I lose control all hell will break loose.

Four Years ago I made a promise to myself one thing I will kill without any guilt, whoever is responsible for the attack on my pack and the murder of my family. Revenge is better served cold right?

My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Can I come in?" Marissa asked. She has been my best friend since diapers and is now the one person I can consider my only family. She's the only one I have left.

Marissa lost her mate in the massacre, Josh, my brother. For so long she was in a numb state. She couldn't even spend time with my little sunshine, Paige, because she looks too much like him. I had heard that losing your mate could be painful, witnessing Marissa go through it sure made me realize how much.

"Of course! What's up?"

She just chuckled. Am I missing something here? Noticing my confusion she explained.

"Ava maybe you should give the position of coach to someone who doesn't get lost in her own thoughts and forgets training every time." Shoot! I knew I had forgotten something.

Rushing into the closet I got my training gear on and strapped my weapons on my waist and inside my ankle combat boots.

"Maybe an alarm would help me? I'm no good with schedules, you know that! Man! Where's Noah?" I asked while we left my room.

"My lazy ass of a brother? Where do you think?" I had to laugh. The answer was obvious. Some random chick's house and hangover.

"Well get him to bring his ass to training! I need my beta!"

It is weird that I only feel comfortable around Marissa, Noah and little Paige? Somehow with them I can be just a little bit of who I used to be. They have known me since birth, my parents were like their seconds parents and vice versa. But they also know it is impossible for me to turn back. I won't turn back to my old self again. It's not something they aprove because to them grieve can be overcome, I mean look at Marissa. 

Maybe someday when I have avenged my family I'll be able to find peace and happiness but until then I won't ley myself  be weak and naive again. I won't let anyone have something to hold over me.

"20 laps around the territory now!" I screamed in my Alpha voice. It was extremely vigorous for a female.

'Have you forgotten who I am?' my darling wolf decides to make an appearance at last.'Sarcasm not appreciated miss Ava'.

'You know you love me Sapphire, hush!' she chuckled. I'm always right.

'Just get your ass and mind back to training. They need to be strong!'

I followed the pack through the territory, making sure no one cheated and that the combat exercises were done to perfection.

Taking care of a pack is not easy and making sure you are the strongest one of all is actually pretty tiring and time consuming. Even so, none of that matters to me, my pack is my family now and it's because of how I am that we are the best. It's because of how I trained them that we never lose a battle and that our combat shifting is the fastest.

Somehow I find myself extremely distracted from training today. My thoughts kept wondering off to a topic I can't seem to shake off lately, the gold wolf. We are supposed to be able to feel each other. Ever since I shifted I have had the burning desire to meet him but the last few days it has been on my mind 24/7.

'Maybe we'll get the chance to meet them soon' Sapphire reassured me.

She has been restless the past couple of days, wonder why? The witches' prophecies kept flying in my head. 'When great evil rises, their power will be needed and together they'll make good thrive"

'Why have you been so jumpy lately?' Honestly it really tires me, plus the headaches are excruciating.

'To be honest Ava, I'm not sure... I just feel something is coming. Something big... Keep your eyes open.' The way she told that gave me chills down my spine.

'Wow! What's gotten you so serious? You are giving me chills..." I chuckled and shook my head.

"Just trust me okay! I'm not saying it may be all bad, just my gut feeling says something big is about to change. Forever.'

In that moment I may have thought she was going crazy. Truth is, she couldn't have been more right. Things did change. A lot and fast.
