Ashes to Ashes: The Female Alpha

Three

-

It wasn't difficult to see where the packs named originated from. Ash covered the mountain as our car drove higher and higher, it was eerily beautiful how the black covered the grass. The ash was constantly falling, for what reason? I haven't the clue. No one does really. Mountain Ash claimed to be the highest ranking pack in the country, I assume it is because Alpha Rush is a Kage.

Wolves ran at our sides, moving swiftly through the trees, never taking their eyes off our cars. It was quiet as our cars came to a stop. Pack members stood around us, staring but never saying anything. They stood firm, faces unmoving, bodies still, eyes focusing on our forms. I felt as if I were being dissected, a prickling  sensation runs through my body at the thought. A wave of anxiety slowly seeping in. 

I had expected more ogling towards our men, though all I continued to see were squinted eyes and furrowing brows. It seems my first assumption was wrong, I could only guess how many of my assumptions are to be true. Only time could tell I suppose.

 I blended into our crowd of men, not wanting to be seen yet. I had been in Black Rain for many years, yet everyone assumed I wasn't a warrior. Most thought I was a maid, or a pack caretaker as Alpha Featherstone once said; though i suppose that was better than being known as a "stress reliever". Alpha Aron of the Exodus pack claimed that a woman is worth nothing more than whats between her legs. 

My alpha wasn't too happy about that one.

All of their assumptions stemmed from the fact that a woman was too weak to hold her own in a pack specifically designed for warriors. I guess they didn't have much faith in the gods. It is known that Apollo chooses members of our pack specifically, or that is the belief anyways. 

Either way, men sucked.

An omega approached us, head down, nodding at us to follow her. I felt my skin crawl as I witness this petite girl shy away from us, her arms too thin, it makes my mind wonder back to another life. I shake the thought away and follow the girl into the building and up the stairs. She spoke softly as she explained where the Alphas, Beta and Gamma would sleep, then where the rest would stay. Alpha Samuel, Joshua, and I followed the girl to the fourth floor.

Joshua is our Gamma, and I am the Beta. We are both the toughest fighters in our pack, aside from Alpha Samuel and Francis, a wolf who left us before our travel to Mountain Ash. Joshua and I had both fought hard when it came to choosing Beta, my teeth had clamped down onto his arm, taking a chunk of his flesh. The warriors were all amazed by my animalistic fighting when in human form. That's what won me the title.

Alpha Samuel's room sat across the hall from mine, while Joshua's room sat to my right. The omega had told us that Alpha Rush's room was two doors down, on Alpha Samuel's side. My lip quirked up at hearing this information, I was interested in seeing how the two Alpha's would be having to lead together. But they both knew they could not argue with the council, they would have to suck up their masculinity and play nice. 

After putting my things away into the closet, I went in search of Samuel. I needed to be near a familiar face. I raised my fists to knock, but the door opened before I had a chance, "I knew you'd come," he walked towards his bed, leaving the door open as a sign that I was welcome to pass.

He patted the spot next to him on the bed, "come my little warrior," I smiled crossing the room and sitting beside him. I let my head fall onto his shoulder, "so this is our life now?"

"it is," he smiled sown at me. we sat there for a while, enjoying the comfortable silence. Samuel and I knew each other well, no words needed to be said to understand what we were going through. We just lost our way of life overnight, and now we had to adapt. I regained my composure, then returned to my new room.
