(Discontinued) The Alphas (bxb)

Chapter Fourteen

Chapter Fourteen

Kyler's POV

I woke up with a throbbing headache and a sore back, completely naked on the floor of my room.

Not exactly the best thing in the world to wake up to.

There was a sharp ringing in my head that made me wince and painstakingly crawl into my bed and under the covers.

If this was part of the Alpha transformation... well I could make do without all these suffering.

"It's 7.30 in the morning wake up! Mate! Mate! Mate!" the sound of my wolf shocked me into full consciousness. His voice was ten times louder and I groaned.

"Shut up! Let me sleep for just ten more minutes!" I told it and tried unsuccessfully to go back to sleep but my stubborn wolf was fighting me over the control of our body.

"No!" he growled, "can you feel that weak pull? It means our mate is nearby so let's go!"

I wrapped the comfortable sheets around me tightly and managed to shut off my wolf from my body. "Praise the Goddess and all that!" I thought, snuggling even deeper into my duvet.

"Wake up Kyler!" someone screamed and I shot up once more, wide awake.

I growled and snapped my head back to glare at the unwanted intruder. It was Alix.

She seemed unfazed by my anger and skipped into my room, "Rise and shine sleeping beauty! Time to find your hot ass mate and get it on!"

What a pedo bear.

"Get out!" I groaned, grabbing into the sheets very tightly as I was still very, very naked. Imagine if my straight female best friend saw me in my birthday suit. Awko.

"No! You need to passionately make love to your beautiful male mate!" she giggled, still trying to tug my arm and lead me out of the room.

"Alix shut your trap! I don't even know if my mate will be guy- and I'm naked!"

That just about did it for her. She squealed, releasing my poor arm from her vice-like grip and hopped off my bed.

"Get changed and come down right away okay hon!"

I stared at her as she skipped out of my room, slamming the door shut.

Talk about a change of character. We went from not talking for a few weeks to her suddenly becoming all hyper and shit and acting like a mad woman.

I got up, stretching out all the knots in my body before pulling on some underwear and a pair of sweat pants. Screw shirts, no one needs that.

As I walked into the eating area the 'mate radar' as I referred to it grew fainter. I guess my mate wasn't eating with most of the pack.

"Son! How was your transformation!" I felt my father walk up to me from behind, placing a large hand on my back.

"My baby's an Alpha today! Oh my goodness!" I rolled my eyes at my mother, who had come to stand beside my father.

"Happy birthday, son." I faced my father as he looked me in the eye. Our similarities were pretty obvious. I looked like a younger (and more handsome) version of him that it was actually creepy. I inherited near to nothing from my mother besides that green tinge in our eyes.

"Thank you," I smiled and gave my parents a hug- which they returned.

"Alpha Kyle! Bro!" I turned to the rest of my friends followed by a group of pups. "Glad it's today that you're leading us man!" Rick smiled, taking a step back to stare at my bare chest. I frowned, smacking him on the back of his head and he winced. So much for Rick being straight. Maybe he was bisexual.

"Alpha Kyler!" one of the young pups yelped and I looked down to see an adorable red head with huge green eyes staring straight up at me. "Will you protect the pack?" I nodded, ruffling her hair as she bounced away to join her parents.

I hope I can.

Oh joy, the pressure's back.

-

Breakfast went on as per normal. The mate radar was under control the whole time, that faint tug never leaving me which led me to assume that my mate was asleep somewhere.

Somehow I had accepted the fact that there was a very, very low chance that my mate might be a male overnight so I wasn't too hyped about this mate topic.

"Kyler, after this wash up and be at the meeting room by 12.30. The pack elders and head wolves have something planned out for you, alright honey?" my mother appeared behind me soundlessly, as I was scraping the left over pancakes into the trash, making me jump.

"Great, more boring pack meetings and Alpha initiation talks!" I cheered internally but turned to my mother and gave her my acknowledgement.

-

An hour or so later I was sitting at the head of the meeting table and we were talking pack politics.

I guess it would have been better for everyone else if I'd paid attention during the whole thing but as one can guess, it's a little bit on the difficult side to block out your wolf's constant bugging about our mate somewhere in the pack premises.

"- this sums up our first pack meeting with a new Alpha. Just remember that the ceremony begins at 8 o'clock sharp. Be there or I'll have to flay your skin off and sell you to an exotic animal collector."

No one laughed at my father's joke.

I could see why.

Even though it was pretty clear that his Alpha scent was barely even there, we all still respected him as one. That was for all the years he had dedicated to our pack.

Besides that he was also a lot more muscular than I was and his face was a hardened shield of scariness. That probably paid a part in all the respect going around.

"Congrats, Kyler!"

"You'd be a great Alpha!"

"Happy Birthday!"

I smiled and nodded at all the well wishes from the elders as they left the room, leaving just me and my old man.

"Listen here Kyls."

Kyls. He hasn't called me that for a while.

"You have a great responsibility on your hands now. A whole pack along with the challenges of keeping that pack together. It's not an easy feat, given all the other packs are trying to overthrow us and steal our land. You'd go through lots and lots of hardship, sacrifice and loss. But at the end of the day, you'd have your mate with you. Your rock, your string to the balloon. She'll stick by you through thick and thin and you guys will face the challenges together as a strong couple."

I gulped.

But I don't want a female mate! My wolf whined internally.

"Whoever she is, you'll have to learn to-"

"Dad I'm gay."

Then came the awkward pause as my father faltered in his speech to face me with an unreadable expression. I was shitting myself in fear right now.

"What?" his voice, devoid of emotion, and clearly unamused led me to believe that I'd possibly picked the worst time ever to come out.
