Alphas, Betas & Protectors

1. Looking Over The City

Lucas was sitting on the rooftop of the main state building where he worked in the city that was ruled by his pack. He was looking over the city that was ruled by werewolves just like how the world was for the past few decades. The world had changed now. Werewolves ruled as the stronger citizens but humans were still allowed to live amongst werewolves but they didnt get much say in what went on. They followed the rules. They did as they were told by werewolves and it wasn't going to end badly. It was that simple but not always. As the beta of his pack he tried to protect them when he could. The city was big. He couldnt be in so many places at once. It was impossible. He was only seventeen years old. He had so much responsibility on his shoulders. His alpha was eighteen. He had defeated his father on his eighteenth birthday and had sent him away to the district where retirements happened. That was how it was in their hierarchy. The next generation always was more powerful than the previous one.

Their district down south, was a peaceful one. They had a good economy. His Alpha was an all American powerful ruler. Lucas knew Alpha Gavin from childhood. They always went to each other's house. They were close friends. But their friendship was tested when Gavin's sister Gillian had fallen for him. Eversince childhood they were close since they were in the same year in school. Lucas had never realised how much Gillian loved him. He could never guess. But she did. He was the only one who could calm her down when she was in a fit of rage. He was the only one who could say the right words at the right time to her. She was an alpha wolf and much more powerful than him like her brother.

When Gilian had started holding his hands to walk with him to school he had ignored it. They were just friends. That was how it looked to him. When she had beaten up the girls who fancied him, he didnt think it was jealousy. He had though she had looked out for him because the girls were annoying. He was quite popular in school. Every girl wanted him to take them to the prom that was in a week. But he didn't care for any of that. He wanted to take Kelly Anne. He had walked to ask Kelly Anne to the dance but Gillian had stepped in front of him asking him to the prom to his shock. That was a month ago. It had been a month that his dreams of settling with kelly Anne had been dashed. One long month. He had hoped that Gavin was going to go all alpha on him for saying yes to his sister. As if he had another choice? You didnt refuse an alpha wolf anything unless you were mental.

Lucas sighed. Alpha's reaction was unbelievable. Gavin was happy to see Gillian with Lucas. It seemed like Gavin didn't mind at all. He was proud of his sister for being able to land Lucas. After all Lucas was of a worthy stock according to Gavin. He was of a powerful bloodline. Not as powerful as Gavin's but quite powerful. A powerful werewolf had a power aura and the force of their power could make people feel the force to submit and kneel. The alpha's power was greatest but the beta's came second. Lucas's aura was strong and attractive according to many girls.

Lucas felt saddened as he looked at the tower block were Kelly Anne lived. Mostly humans lived there. But kelly Anne lived there too because she was a protector werewolf. She protected those who needed protecting. She could be a fighter wolf but she had opted for protector status. She was who she was. A woman of great calling who worked with her healer friends mostly. He loved Kelly Anne more than anything in this world. But kelly Anne didnt even notice him. She saw him as one of the cocky kids in school always. He was hanging out with Gavin and Gillian. She never wanted to be near their group. Kelly Anne never came to watch him play games. She never came to watch him wrestle. But he always went to see her doing spoerts. But she hardly ever glanced at him. She hardly ever glanced at any guys. She didn't like men much. Her father was an abusive wolf who used to beat her mother alot. Kelly Anne used to be in a different pack and had now moved here. She was taken away into care in a family here who had been her adoptive parents for the past year.

Kelly Anne was new to this city. She was from th country side. That was why authorities hadnt been able to take her into care. Kelly Anne's father had gotten away for so long. But in the city there was no where to hide. Kelly Anne was happy now but she didnt fit in with most kids. Her best friends were humans. She didn't mix with werewolves much even though she was welcome to. Her hostility and rejection of male wolves hadnt gone down well. Some high rank wolves at school wanted to teach her a lesson so she learnt to worship them rather than be so nice to unworthy humans and low omegas. She had turned down so many guys who wanted to date her when she had arrived at the pack in her first weeks. They had taken Kelly Anne to a quiet room and wanted to torture her. But Lucas had broken them up and had put his foot down that Kelly Anne was off limits because she was of a protector rank. It was her job to protect humans and weakest omegas of the pack. They had never bothered Kelly Anne again and the word spread that Kelly Anne was off limits. Lucas was the beta. What he said went. Kelly Anne had said thank you and had smiled. She had even kissed him on the cheek. That was the only time she ever touched him.
