I Am An Alpha

Chapter 1

Before we begin I would like to say that no part of this book should be copied. I feel like you guys already know the gist so I'm not going to say it like other authors. Everything is strictly coincidental.©

Plain old Me

Carmine's POV

I woke up to the sound of my  alarm, and the sun in my eyes. Groaning, I  turned to my alarm and put it off. The song that it played was really annoying.

Getting out of bed, I did a quick stretch and looked around my room. It wasn't to messy, just a pair of converse in the conner and two tank tops. Picking them up I placed them in my hamper, on my way to my adjoined bathroom.

Most people think it's strange that I have my very own bathroom, but since I am the only child my parents have, I get almost everything I want. Despite this, I'm not spoilt, my parents taught me the value of a dollar and I have respect for everyone, and everything.

I got into the shower and let the warm water cascade over my body. I was always happiest when I got in the water, whether it be the ocean, a pool or a simple shower, it just made me feel calm and serene.

When I got out I brushed my teeth after my 20 minute shower. I got out in my favourite baby blue fluffy towel, and made my way to my closet. I took out a pair of black silk undergarments.

I got dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans, a red tank top and my favourite pair of Doc Martins. If you haven't figured it out by now I love tank tops. I brushed through my hair and put on a little mascara and a light pink lip gloss.

When I was done I grabbed my phone, my keys and my wallet. When I was younger I was taught to never leave the house without these essentials.

I walked down the stairs and in to the kitchen where my mom was making breakfast, and my dad sat at the island reading some papers.

"Good morning mom," I said kissing her on the cheek.

"Morning sweetie," she replied, "How was your night?" she asked while turning the sausages she had in the frying pan.

"It was good mom," came my short reply. I sat next to my dad at the island and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Morning dad," I said to him.

"Good morning Shortcake."

My dad has been calling me Shortcake for as long as I can remember, and I would be lying if I said I hated when he does.

While we were talking mom placed a plate in front of the two of us.

Eat up honey, don't forget you have to get to school she said with a small smile on her face.

Did I forget to mention that today was the first day of school? This was my last year and I couldn't be happier. I mean I like school and all, but at the same time, it's school.

Okay mom, I said, smiling at my mom and looking down at my plate. She had made sausages, scrambled eggs, toast and a small fruit salad. She then placed two glasses of orange juice in front of my dad and I, and set out to eat her own breakfast.

Breakfast today was quiet as usual, with dad reading those important looking papers and mom getting a phone call, probably from the pack house.

When I was done with breakfast, I placed my dirty dishes in the sink. I grabbed my bag from the counter, the only place that I could remember it.

I told my parents goodbye and headed of to school.

I missed this, my parents were never home, they are always out doing pack warrior things.

They were always training the new warriors, or out on patrol. They got home late and left super early. Sometimes they even had to travel to other packs for training, and would be gone for about a month.

Did I forget to mention that we were werewolves? Well we kind of are. And apparently it is a big deal, since my family is very respected.

My parents and I are part of the Dawn Claw Pack. We were not the strongest pack around (because that would be the Kings pack), but we were not the weakest either.

We easily came fourth or fifth, out of the thirty in our country.

When I arrived at school I met up with a group of my friends, their parents were warriors as well. But not all were from Dawn Claw.

Kelsii Wayne, Aria Justin, Kyle and Katy Greene (twins) and Layla  Primrose. Kelsii and Layla are from the Titan Wolf Pack, the twins are from Silver Streak Pack.

Aria is from Dawn Claw, so we have known each other for a while. Our school is an all werewolf school, and the students here are only from these three packs.
Breaking away from my thoughts, I realized that my friends were all around Kelsii's black Hummer, and were in deep conversation.

Guess what Aria said to me as soon as I got there. What? I asked. Xavier is coming home today from alpha training at the palace, she basically squealed.

Oh, that's great I said. That's great, is that all you have to say? she asked me. Yeah, I was kinda hoping you would say something food related, preferably cheesecake related. I replied with a smile on my face.

When I had finished saying that, Kelsii and the twins burst out laughing, while Layla had a huge smile on her face. The humorous moment was quickly shut off when Aria shot them a glare.

Our very single, very handsome, soon to be alpha, Xavier Kingston is coming home after 5 years, and all you can think about is food she said in a frustrated tone of voice.
What can I say, food makes me happy, and I like to think happy thoughts.

Oh my gosh, you are so impossible.

I try

Okay guys let's head inside before school starts, Kyle said. They had all been listening to our conversation with great amusement, and I think they realised school was about to start, so it was time to put an end to it.

This isn't over, Aria said to me while giving me one last look.

We all headed to our lockers, and took out the books we needed for the first three periods. I know you are probably wondering how our lockers are next to each other, but that is actually how we all became friends.

The day flew by pretty quickly, and before I new it, it was already after school. We didn't do much in any of my classes today, making the day go by fast, especially since Aria couldn't stop talking about Xavier.

I said goodbye to my friends and headed to my black Land Rover. I didn't really know what kind it was, since I'm not really into cars. The only reason I got this one was because it was absolutely beautiful, and I fell in love with it on site.

I drove home in silence as I normally do, so that I can have time to think about the days events. They weren't much, so that was okay. I pulled up into the garage and got out of the vehicle. When I entered the house I was surprised to see my parents home.

If it was rare to see them in the morning it was even rarer to see them in the afternoon. Hey mom and dad I said as I placed my keys and bag down.

Hi sweetie they replied together. How was your first day back at school? mom asked. Same old, same old came my short reply. That's good, and before I forget shortcake, we have to go to the pack house at 6, for Xavier's welcome home party. This time it was my dad who spoke.

Okay I said to him, as I headed up to my room. I wanted to at least get some work done before I took part in the most uneventful evening of my life.

Or so I thought.
