Taming the Alpha

Chapter 1

Growing up in a pack wasn't the most normal life. Especially when you're the Betas daughter. As their daughter you are trained just like the rest of the high ranks. From the time that I could walk, I was training. Even though I wasn't next in line for the beta position, my father wanted to make sure that I could protect myself if any attacks happened.

Sparing with Jake, the next in line for alpha, he got a good shot at my face. A worried expression crossed his face but I shook it off I lunged and took him down. Pinning him underneath me I irritably sighed, "Jake, how do you expect me to get better if you get worried every time you hit me?"

"Al, I'm sorry I just don't want to mess up that pretty face of yours." He winked.

Rolling my eyes, I shoved off him and started walking back towards the pack house. I didn't like how he thought of me any different than the rest of the high ranks. Even though I wasn't going to be beta, I was still a high rank.

"There's a party right off territory at one of those abandoned houses, everyone is going. You should come." He jogged up to me.

"I don't think so. Those parties always end bad because no one can get along with each other."

"Oh come on, you know you want to go. You've recently turned 18 and you still don't have a mate" Jake nudged me.

"Says the one who is almost 20 and doesn't have a mate either." I rolled my eyes.

It bothered me that he brought up the whole mate situation. I still hadn't shifted. I was almost two years late. Some people left pity for me, but I ignored it. It wasn't very common to be a late bloomer but when it did happen, those wolves normally hold a lot of power. I mean it made sense because I did have Beta blood within me. That's why my father made my train so much. I have trained every day for almost three years now because my wolf hasn't surfaced yet. It was annoying because some of the pack members that were around my age made fun of me. I mean not shifting at 16 is like not going through puberty at 13.

"That's why I go to these parties because at least three other packs will be there. We both know that neither of our mates are from our pack. It's a time to go out a look for that one person we are supposed to spend the rest of our lives with. Allie, come on, it'll be fun." He pleaded.

"Fine. God, I hope you find your mate, so you can stop bothering me so much." I joked.

We both went our separate ways to go get ready for this party. I walked into my room and went straight for my bathroom so that I could take a shower. As I was rinsing out the shampoo, I felt myself get warmer than normal. My vision blurred but I just shook it off. That was weird. After I was done in the shower I quickly started to get ready since I only had an hour and a half before we had to leave. I curled my long hair, so it had a little volume and life to it. I got dressed in some black jeans, a white crop top and a flannel. I made my makeup light. I put on my shoes and went down stairs to see Jake waiting for me.

"Let's get going, it's almost time for the party to start." He winked.
