Battle of the Alphas

Chapter 1:Nightmares

I started the day off like I always do. The nightmare was different this time. Instead of my Calum dying it was me laying on the floor gasping for breathes. That would have been a better ending then my brother giving his life to save me. I got out of bed and noticed it was only 5 a.m., so I got dressed and when upstairs to the pack gym. I was the only one there. I usually was. I trained two times a day every day hoping that I would run into Sirius or Perseus (the rouges that killed my brother) and finally get the chance to kill them.Sirius was the alpha of a pack that we were at war with. They were destructive and reckless but in the end we beat them, leaving us with their territory and with the title as the second strongest pack in California. Some how Sirius and his beta, Perseus, Got away and out of pure malice they killed my brother.

I was lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear my father come in.

"You need to be stronger if you ever want to be a worthy alpha", he said in a disapproving tone.

My father acted like I wasn't the best fighter in our pack. I was 5'11 inches tall and could beat any opponent because my wolf was always bigger and stronger than there's. I always thought that it was because I was going to be alpha but my wolf was even bigger than my fathers. Although I didn't want to be alpha I had to be now that my brother was dead.

I brushed passed my father ignoring his earlier comment and began to run on the track. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him exit the gym. I decided to only run three miles this morning because I didn't want to be late on the first day of school.

I took a quick shower and put on some jean shorts and a plain black v-neck. I applied light make-up to cover up the bags under my bright red-orange/purple eyes. After I was done I put my blue contacts on to conceal the true color of my eyes. I new that werewolves weren't suppose to have red-purple eyes but when I asked my parents about it my father always seemed angry and my mother always said it was nothing even thought they made me keep my eyes a secret.

By the time I was done getting ready it was 7:20 and Dylan, my future beta, was pounding on my bedroom door.

"Hurry up Kate or we're going to be late and it takes half an hour to get to school", he yelled.

"Dylan I love you but if you rush me I will kill you" I said in a playful tone. I would never hurt Dylan he was my best friend and the only person I can open up to besides my mom.

"Geez never mind take all the time you want-" he said pretending to be scared.

Before he could finish his sentence I opened the door an his eyes widened. I looked down at myself and I didn't think there was anything wrong with my appearance to I said,"What?".

he shook his head and said, "nothing you just look like you walked out of a magazine".

Dylan was always the very flirty type put I knew he was only messing around. He loved me like a sister and would kill anyone if they tried to hurt me.

"Shut-up shorty", I mumbled and ran down stairs.

"Hey!! I heard that and I'm 6'1 that still makes me taller than you", he yelled. And at that we when outside, got into his car and drove off.
