I AM ALPHA

Chapter Five- Something to Prove

    We fought for what seemed like hours, but I knew it was only 30 minutes tops, we fought wolf after wolf, we fought in wolf form and in human form. Towering giants who's punches were like being hit by ton of bricks and smaller, yet still big, men who were so fast I could barely see them move. But they never got the best of us, we beat each of them, one by one until finally...no one stepped forward. My breath came out in pants and I knew I was going to be sore tomorrow. A few of my rips were broken and each breath was brutal.
Are we all okay? I spoke in my mind link, checking on my girls. They didn't respond but they all snarled loudly at the same time, daring another to step forward. No doubt they all would have bruises and be getting x-rays tonight.
    "So, Your Majesty, have we proved ourselves yet? Five female warriors have defeated the small army you have gathered to prove something, but we proved to you that we are more than capable of protecting your son and his friends." The King stood with fear in his eyes, fear that he was wrong, of change.
    "Is there anyone else who wants to help me prove my point?" I yelled. I didn't expect anyone to step forward...damn me and my pride. But the voice that called out, I knew that cocky voice.
    "I challenge you, Warrior Princess." It was the prince. My eyes widened. "What's wrong, darling? Are you afraid to fight your mate?" You could've heard a pen drop. Then suddenly the Kind threw his head back in laughter.
    "Oh yes! This is excellent. My son, the future king is mated with the best warrior in all of the packs. She has defeated the best warriors from all over the world. Congratulations are in order to the happy couple. Girls, you have proved yourself to me, I honor all of you as King Alexander Provinsky, as warriors for my personal security. Now, let us all go back to our rooms and clean up for the party tonight." And he turned and he left, along with the warriors. I stormed over to Dimitri and shoved him with all my might. He stumbled backwards but not as much as he should've.
"What the fuck was that?! Telling the King like that? Goddess damn it now everyone will know!" I screamed and pushed him again and again until he grabbed my wrists and tries to hold me in place. We were just about equally matched, but only because I was injured I assure you.
"Are you done?" He asked with that cocky fucking grin. I nodded my head angrily and ya led my wrists out of his hands. "Good. Now would you like to ta---" he didn't even finish his sentence before I reared back and punched him in the jam. My fist already ached and the prince had a face hard as steel. But I didn't let it show. He came up and punched me back.
I was more stunned than anything. But when I looked at him again I saw red. I dove into him, catching him in the middle and off guard and we flew to the ground, with myself on top.
"You self centered bastard! Do you not realize all I have worked for? And you go and try to shoot it to hell like that?" I punched him again and he rolled over on top of me and tried to pin me down. I continued to scream nonsense. I was so mad I couldn't even focus on anything but screaming and beating him. I worked my legs underneath him and kicked out, knocking him off of me and the breath out of him at the same time. Shift. Now. He needs to see us as one. My wolf commanded me and I didn't even want to argue. I just shifted. Slowly my huge white wolf exploded over my human form and stood towering over him. I growled low and angry. And he just smiled.
What are you smiling at? My wolf growled and I spoke to him in the mate mind link.
"You are beautiful, Princess."
I snarled I am not a princess.
"No, you're right. Not a regular princess anyways. A warrior princess." He walked forward and kissed my snout. I snapped at him. "Feisty princess. Like a little kitten." And here came that cocky grin. I bounced on him and knocked him to the ground.
I am not a kitten. I am a wolf.
"You look like a kitten from here."
I wasn't going to play his game anymore. I just got off of him, turned my nose up, and switched my tail out of the door and up to my room.
Are you okay, Alaisia? Isabel called to me.
Fine. I just need a shower. I guess be back down at 11 when the party starts. Look your best, gotta show these fuckers how good we really are. I commanded to everyone. We needed to show we weren't just savages dedicated to learning how to kill, we have impeccable manners, years of etiquettes classes, and we are beautiful women too.
Once in my room I slammed the door and shifted back to human form. My body was already starting to heal itself but I would still be sore for a few days. I went into the bathroom and got into the shower. My body was covered in sweat and a little bit of blood from from broken noses and busted out teeth. I smiled as I stepped into the scalding hot water and rinsed off everything that had happened. I found my mate...Prince Dimitri is my mate. I smiled at that too. I was so caught in my thoughts I didn't hear the door in my room, the bathroom door, clothes being removed, or Dimitri stepping into the shower, and as I was shampooing my hair I felt hands go around my stomach and I jumped out of my skin.
"What the fu--DIMITRI GET OUT!" I screamed and yanked the towel I had over the shower door into the shower to cover my body. But most importantly..my scars.
"Why are you hiding from your mate? You looked beautiful out there, Kitten. Fighting like a warrior..and your wolf. Pure white wolf. The rarest of all, and so big. Lunas have big wolves but you are easily the same size as my wolf, if not a little bigger."
"Probably because I'm an Alpha not a Luna, I already told you that. And I barely know you, I'm certainly not going to expose myself in front of you even though you appear to be very-um-comfortable with that." My eyes traced the water droplets running from his long brown hair, down his shoulders, chest, and stomach and down to..other..parts of him and I felt my face heat up. When I finally drug my eyes away from him and back to his eyes he was smiling at me, that stupid grin, and his black eyes sparkled. Dimitri was beautiful, and every bit of Prince Charming. Although having his father's Russian blood running through his veins, his mothers Native American looks as she was full blooded Cherokee. He had long jet black hair that hung to the middle of his back and he just let it tumble around his shoulders. His skin was deeply tanned with strong facial features, even with the little crook in his nose where it had been broken and no one reset it before he healed and full lips that when I thought about them against mine sent shivers down my spine. Oh yes, he was very beautiful.
     "Do you see something you like, Kitten?" He asked and I quickly snapped out of my trance.
  "What I would like to see is you out of my shower, bathroom, and bedroom. And don't call me 'Kitten'." I quipped back.
    "Why are you hiding yourself from me?" He moved closer. I was already pressed against the shower wall so I had no where to go. He held my face in his hand gently.
   "You might be my mate, but I'm not just going to take my clothes off and fall into bed with you. You're gonna have to woo me." As I spoke shampoo dripped right into my eye and instantly my eye was on fire. "Ow! Fuck! Oh my god I got soap in my eye!" I cried trying to get the soap out of my eye.
    "Here, calm down, let me help you."
   "I don't need your help. This wouldn't have happened if you wouldn't intrude on people's shower!" I continued to yell as he grabbed my elbows and drug me under the water. He pushed the suds off the top of my head and gently rubbed my eyes.
    "You're my mate, I can be in your shower whenever I please. Now sit still."he commented and I scoffed.
    "I'm not even going to argue with you because if you really think you can just barge in whenever you please you are more spoiled and dim-witted than I thought possible." But instead of being offended by my insult he just laughed.
    "You are so rude. I thought you were supposed to be a princess?" Slowly the burning stopped and he just massaged my head getting all the soap out. I wanted him to stop but it felt too good.
    "I am not s princess. That's my twin. I am a warrior."
     He didn't respond and I slowly and bravely opened my eyes. He was staring at me. "What are you looking at?" I asked sharply.
   "You're beautiful." He breathed and I looked down. My white towel was soaked through and had become transparent enough where you could see my body but not my scars. That was a relief. My face heated even more (though I didn't know that was possible) and I couldn't look him in the eyes. "Let me see all of you. Please." He put his fingers under my chin and lift my face so I could look in his eyes.
    "I can't. I'm ashamed." I turned my back to him.
    "Ashamed of what? You're perfect." He whispered and his arms snaked their way around my waist again.
    "I can't tell you."
"Please, Alaisia, my mate." He moved around  in front of me and pulled at the towel.
    "Stop. You-you don't understand." I hugged it closer.
  "Help me to." He let go. "Finish your shower, I will be in your room. We can talk when you get out." And with that he stepped out. Beautiful bare ass and all and left the bathroom. I breathed out heavily and dropped the towel and it plopped in the water. I grabbed conditioner and ran it through my hair.
What are you going to do? My wolf asked me.
He will find out tonight anyways, if he doesn't know already, I might as well just tell him. I don't know if I'm ready to show him though. I replied to her as I washed my body.
I understand that. But I'm warning you now, he gets naked one more time in front of us and his wolf putting out all those smells, you won't have much of an option but to show him. She warned. Our wolves aren't as patient as we are. When they meet their mate it's marking and full on mating time. For hours until they are fully satisfied.
Noted. I chuckled to her as I stepped out of the shower. I squeeze dried my hair with a towel and my body then threw on the fluffy white robe hanging on the closet door inside the bathroom. Making sure it closed over my chest and the collar covered my neck, I took a deep breath and stepped out of the bathroom. He was there, sitting on the bed, holding a picture of Ana and I last Fall. It was one of them few times since we've grown up that we matched perfectly. It was the Thanksgiving banquet and we both wore black dresses that were right and hugged right below our knees. It was long sleeved and had a turtleneck to cover my scars. We both wore black suede stilettos and had our nails painted back. The only difference between us were our eyes. My green and blue to her brown and green. Our arms wrapped around each other and huge smiled on our faces.
    "Hi.." I mumbled.
  "I didn't realize how literal you were when you said you had a twin. The two of you are identical. Everything but one eye." He said as he sat the picture down and stood.
    "Her name is Anastasia. She's my best friend." I answered and crawled onto the bed. I sat with my legs crisscrossing with a pillow cuddled up to my chest and in my lap. "So..you want to know why you can't see me? I figured you had already heard."
    "I haven't heard anything. Please Alaisia, tell me." He scooted closer to me and put his hands on my knees.
     "Do you remember last summer when the Luna of the American pack was almost killed and her guard was stabbed and bitten while saving her?" I stared down at his hands. Too embarrassed to look at him.
  "Oh no..Kitten, no."
       "I was the guard. I was over confident and prideful. A mistake I will never make again. But I'm thankful for it, and embarrassed because it ruined me, but now I know what it feels like to be bitten by one of those things. It was awful. But anyways..I'm scarred. Every where on my chest. It's ugly. No one has seen that part of me since I left the hospital." I absentmindedly let my hand move up to my neck and feel the skin raised.
  "Let me see." He was gentle..but he also sounded angry.
    "I'm ugly. You don't want to see it." I spoke and stood off the bed.
   "No part of you is ugly. Let me see it." He commanded.
Okay, here we go. I spoke to my wolf and I could feel her smile at my courage. Dimitri reached forward and untied my robe.
