The Alpha - Grayson Dolan

~1~

Breathing heavily, my heart pounding in my chest, I ran. As fast as I could through the thick forest, dodging all of the ancient trees in my way. I had always been a very fast runner. In fact everything sports wise was always an easy task for me.

I was on my daily run which normally lasted from 2-4 hours since I always had so much energy for some reason. I had just moved to New Jersey and was starting school next week. I was pretty nervous but excited.

I mean, I'm a very outgoing, adventurous person and always have been which is probably why I have no problem in making new friends. I was almost out of the forest which was at the back of my new house. I had come here everyday for my run because I had always felt some kind of powerful connection with nature. It felt like home. Like I belong there.

My music paused and my ring tone began to take its place. My mother was calling. Rolling my eyes, I took out my earphones and answered. "Luna are you almost done running?" she asked. "Yes Ma. I'm reaching the back yard now" I answered. "Ok honey. I was just letting you know that dinner's ready" she said and my eyes lit up. "Ok I'll be right there" I said quickly and hung up before running faster than before.

When I said I always have energy, I wasn't kidding. I just never get tired for some reason and neither does anyone else in my family. Yeah, it's kinda weird. I honestly barely sleep. I walked through teh back door to be greeted by my mom putting the food on the 4 plates.

I live with my mom, obviously, my dad and my older brother by one year, Hunter. He can be kind of a dick sometimes but so can I. We both have anger issues and it gets pretty bad sometimes. Ever since last year, Hunter immediately runs away into the forest when he gets even slightly angry but I guess that's better than braking everything.

Yeah, we used to live with another huge forest behind our house at our old place but this one is even better. Our house is also much bigger than the last one.

My mom smiled at me and I returned as the smell of meat reached my nostrils. We always had meat but I would never complain. Most other foods seemed to not taste so good so we stuck to steak, burgers and all that other stuff.

"Guys!" My mom yelled to my dad and brother. We heard running and in a few seconds, Hunter skidded into the dining room, almost falling because of his socks but he managed to keep balance. This was pretty much the usual thing for us. When we heard food, we were there in seconds. We were alwaaaaaaayyyyssss hungry.

After wolfing down our food, we cleaned up and I went to my room, blasting my music through my earphones and walked out to my balcony which overlooked the whole back yard and the forest. I was really lucky for calling dibs on this room first which pissed Hunter of a lot but too bad. I climbed on to the side and pulled my self up onto the roof with no struggle. I was also very good at lifting my self up from a very young age and so were all the other kids in my family.

I always thought it was strange because my family could do things most others couldn't but I let it slide. Even our hearing and sense of smell is really good.

*Flashback*

"Hey do you smell that?" I asked, alert. "What?" my friend asked confused. "Burning" I said before running off down the street as fast as I could, my best friend way behind me. She was just out of teh garden and I was already half way down the street.

"What are you doing!?" I heard her yell. I began to hear the sirens of a fire truck and people inside talking. "Fire on 332 Harland Street" someone said. I immediately stopped, confused. That was like twenty blocks away. Was that the burning smell that only I seemed to smell?

I must have been stood there for a good minute or two because my friend finally caught up and then I heard the sirens getting louder and it finally passed. It must have been a while away if it took this long to go past but how did I hear it and what the people were saying?

*END OF FLASHBACK*

That wasn't the first time things like that have happened to me. I could hear things that not many others could other than my family, smell things, see further than most people and most of all, I could move way faster than anyone.

A/N- I KNOW THIS IS KINDA ALL OVER THE PLACE RIGHT NOW BUT I PROMISE YOU IT GETS A WHOLE LOT BETTER. THIS IS GOING TO BE QUITE AN INTERESTING BOOK WITH A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON SO IT WILL BE GOOD... I HOPE LOL.

LOVE YOU GUYS
