Alpha

Chapter 2

Friday rolled down fast. It was now Alpha Sean’s 18th Birthday and now he’ll be formally announce as the leader of the pack. My brother commanded me not to attend my classes today and instead prepare for the celebration later.

When I say prepare, of course it’s not me. He was referring to the foods, cleaning at staying out of the radar of anybody.

He wasn’t like this. But for the sake of his reputation, he chose to mingle with the popular crowd and leave his pathetic-excuse-of-a-sister like me.

I woke up early today and started cleaning the pack house. Teenagers wolves are the only who lives here. Their family has their own houses surrounding the pack house so they can visits their children whenever they wanted.

Of course, it was in favor of the majority of the pack. They can hook-up whenever they wanted to.

Alpha Sean didn’t try to torments me this morning as well as everybody, they were so busy greeting him and trying to get on his good side.

When I was finished with moping the floors, they immediately rushed out because Alpha Sean will treat them all breakfast in the nearby café. I was at my room in second, I don’t want face them all.

When the coast was clear, I started cleaning and preparing early for the celebration.

My wolf was agitated and when I asked her, she says it was nothing. She has the tendency to block me out when she feels something.

This was not a good sign, I need to finish these all so I can start cooking and lock myself in the basement.

~*~

After some gruesome hours. I finished decorating and cooking. The house looks good.

Good Job!

But I stink. I was drenched in sweats and I hardly ate anything. The servers they hired will be up any minute now and that will be my cue to leave and start sleeping.

After that, I will wake up early and start cleaning the mess again. I sighed.

I glanced at the clock in the nearby wall, 3:51

The pack will be here soon. So I headed to the basement and texted my brother.

To: Trav

I’m done now.

 

He doesn’t reply to my text but when I made simple mistakes he’d gone hulk on me on my messages.

I threw my dirty clothes and headed to the spare bathroom. I washed and scrub till my skin is raw. When I was done, I look at reflection on the mirror.

They say I was fat, but I’m not. I could visibly see my bones on skin. I was pale, deathly pale. I stand 5ft5, my hair is natural blonde.

But the thing that was weird about me was my eyes. I have dark brown eyes but when I got real with my emotions, it turns to violet one.

I don’t know why, neither my wolf.

I discovered it when Jasmine and her friends pushed me off the cliff when our pack was having a good time. I was 12 by then.

I was mad and angry to all of them.

Including myself.

I swear I could see steam coming off my ears and I was shaking. Jasmine screams when she sees my eyes turning in a weird color and she call for somebody.

I know she’ll never call for help so I just ran inside the woods.

I was 12 and cannot fully shift. But I was wrong.

 I could feel my skin prickles. I was shaking uncontrollably.

I ran into a clearing and I suddenly drop on my knees. My skin was so hot. Literally, it’s like I was on fire. I bit my lip to stop me from screaming but the encrusting pain was so unbearable so I screamed.

I was panting and sweating like I’d run into a marathon.

My bones suddenly deformed. I screamed. What was happening to me?

I curled up in a fatal position.

The pain started in my shoulder down my torso. I could feel something weird. My eyes get blurry and suddenly I just cannot take it anymore so I was consumed by darkness.

~*~

I woke up with the stars looking down at me. I could visible clear ants creeping down the wood. My sight highlights and my hearing was clearer.

I stood up and was shocked when I stood in all fours. I shifted

“What the hell?”

Calm down Eleanor. . . the voice suddenly appeared.

“What?! Who are you?”

I’m your wolf. My name is Jess

“So I shifted? But, It can’t be . . . A normal wolf usually shifted at the age of 15!”

Your right . . . because you’re not just a normal wolf.

“But---“

I was cut short when I saw myself in a small puddle of water. White

I am a white wolf. But white wolves are just rare.

It was so beautiful. My pur was snow white and –

You need to go back now Ela my wolf, Jess, said to me.

She’s right; I am in a big trouble when I got home. So shifted back with her help and ran towards the pack house, I was abused there and punished by how I came late and threatening Jasmine’s life which wasn’t true.

I dressed early and slumped in couch. I could hear everyone’s scent and the booming sound. But when I was on the verge of closing and drifting in my sleep, I smelt the most delicious scent.

It was a mixture of forest and citrus. I was so drawn to it.

“Mate” Jess whisper. I froze. My hate is here?

I remember Harold saying there will be wolves from the neighboring pack. Maybe my mate was one of them.

“Jess! He’s here!” I said.

My mate. The one that would save me from this hellhole and would love me unconditionally.
