Call You Mine

Chapter 1 - Unexpected Occurrence

BOOM.

Instantly ripping the heavy duvet off of me and  landing on my petite feet, at the sound of the wooden bedroom door being brutally opened with such savage force. My gaze instantly lands on the male figure at the entrance, Jake my best friend, with an unbelievable frown plastered on his face . Jake only had two main facial expressions on a normal day; boredom or smirking, so seeing a frown meant something bad. "What is it?" I ask darting towards him , nearly falling face first onto the yellow carpeted floor in the process. "Code black. Alpha Damien's pack is under attack. Suit up, we leave in 5." he says quickly before running off, probably to tell the others.

This was quiet alarming. Over the past few weeks, strange events had been happening. But mostly minor incidents, such as, hikers spotting rogue wolves in the area or humans being chased by wolves. This, however, was a whole other issue. There hasn't been a huge scale attack like this since I was ten years old. So it's quiet rare.

The Western pack that resided within our town was nothing if not kind and passive. There was no way that another pack would have attacked them, so it must be rogues.

Ugh. ROGUES!

Rogues are basically classless and packless werewolves that has been exiled or marooned out of their birthed pack. Most of them are quiet okay, but there are bad ones out there. Really BAD ONES.

Without hesitation, I turn on the lights in my room; pull my ebony hair into a very high pony tail, braiding it into a fishtail, slip into random black leggings , black tee shirt , matched with my usual combat knee-length boots and double sided daggers ,before dashing downstairs.

Upon arriving to the foyer, I notice Alpha Michael, and his wife ,Luna Claire, addressing the hoards of warriors that has been assigned for the mission. The foyer was full of restless warriors murmuring and the noises of weapons being passed around.

"Alright, everybody listen up." Alpha Michael's voice booms over the warriors chatting.

Alpha Michael is maybe in his late 50's ,but he still looks younger than he should. His jet black hair barely has a strand of white in them, his face still holds youth except from the crow's feet around his eyes and his body holds a massive array of strength and flexibility. I giggle internally when I focus on what he is wearing tonight ; white tee-shirt, jeans and barefoot. It was a totally 180 from his usual suit and tie.

My thoughts are disturbed when he speaks "Our allied pack in the west has been reported to be under attack and on fire. Only 50 of you will be needed for the task. I will leave my Second in command ,Flint , to lead this mission." the Alpha announces staring straight at his son Jake, who is standing beside me in his ripped black jeans, tee shirt and boots , smirking hard.

Jake was usually a trouble-maker that didn't follow rules well, so I knew his father was emphasizing that he should tonight.

"As you may see, there are a few of youngsters present for this mission. That is because as you all may know, they will be competing for the Alpha tournament when I retire soon. I believe it would be good to see how they do on the real battlefield." Murmurs and whispers fills the foyer, as many of the adults looks at the teenagers present.

I on the other hand ,wink at Jake. Believe it or not, even if Jake had pestered me to add my name to the candidacy for the Alpha position. I had declined. Since Jake will be entering ,as it  is mandatory for the son of the former Alpha to do so, I decided that I would not. For one because ,he is  my best friend and for all intense and purposes, he is my brother. So I would rather be his second in command , than fight against him. Secondly, to be a little biased on my part, Jake is extremely strong. Being the son of the alpha, he was trained night and day as a kid and inherited all the godly strength of this parents. Therefore in order to save myself the humiliation, I decided to back out.
