Only one person from Ally's pack had ever understood her and her fear of her own gifts and that was her very best friend... Ali Spags. Spags was the pack's soon to be healer and that was the only reason she wasn't going to be one of Ally's betas... At first the Alphas had insisted that Ally and Ali would mate but now it was clear that the two would ONLY be friends. No attraction was felt between the two and as the age that most wolves find their mates approached, Ali met Jasper, Jasper was the Alphas youngest son and Ali's mate through and through. And Ally... well Ally didn't have a mate... not everyone in the pack would find theirs at the age of 17... Ally was 19 now... maybe this year. Maybe.
"So Stevie is doing the trials tomorrow." Spags said quietly as they wandered through the halls during their free period.
"Yupp." Ally replied, she tried to hide the fear in her voice, to no avail.
"Your worried." Spags observed, "it's normal. And she's well prepared, I've seen Stevie's wolf... she isn't THAT fragile."
"She could be hurt!" Ally exclaimed, "She's too small, and so skinny!! She's built to be a...a... she's built to be a healer, she shouldn't even have to do the trials."
"You know, Cammie's a healer and I never saw you get all aflutter about her doing the trails." Ali pointed out.
"Cammie is tough as nails!" Ally defended, "And her wolf is twice the size of Stevie's!"
"Chill Hills," Ali hissed as a couple students turned to look curiously, Ally stared at her sneakers as they stopped at the corner they hung out in.
"I just, I'm just protecting a friend." Ally tried weakly.
"Please Hills," Said Spags rolling her eyes, "ever since the moonlight howl you've been fighting for her attention, driving her home yesterday, walking her to her first class this morning, need I continue?"
"I walk you to all your classes." Ally shot back, struggling to save face.
"We have all the same classes Ally." Spags grinned at Ally's exasperated expression. The bell finally rang, Ally smiled thinking she was safe once they headed to the parking lot since Spags would be in a hurry to get home, she was mistaken. When Spags caught sight of Ally running to catch up with Stevie she couldn't resist. "I SEE YOU'RE NOT-GIRLFRIEND IS WEARING YOUR FAVORITE LEATHER JACKET HILLS!!!!" She bellowed. Ally flushed crimson as everyone, including a slightly pink faced Stevie turned to look at her.
Let the Trials Begin
"SILENCE!!!" Came the command from the alpha male, a normally silent man, it was only in times of need that his lover asked him to speak. Now she took over.
"Welcome!" She called to the crowd, "today is a day we hope to add a few to our number, those who wish to compete, or who are vouching for or who are being vouched for, come forward now." Stevie stood to Ally's right she gripped Ally's hand for just a moment and Ally could feel her trembling ever so slightly. Before she made her way to the little platform the alphas were standing on. "Ah good," said the alpha female with a smile, "these six individuals will be taking the trials today, I don't believe we have anyone being vouched for today?" Everyone shook their heads, Ally had a nearly overwhelming urge to run up on the stage and take Stevie's place. "Lovely," the alpha exclaimed, "now, the trials come in three stages, first: you all have a flag corresponding to the arm band you were given, put those on please." Ally made a mental note that Stevie's was orange. Then the alpha cut off her train of thought, "protecting this flag will be a danger of one kind or another, each creature was chosen by and belongs to my husband and I, you must get past these creatures WITHOUT causing them physical harm, once you have retrieved the flag you will move on to phase 2. In stage two you will find there is another flag, this one will be protected by one of the four elements, water, fire, wind, or earth you'll find that whatever element you think will give you the most trouble is the one we choose for you." At this the alpha female smiled at them, each person on that platform had and elemental power except Stevie.
