Chapter 7: Denial

Now you're probably wondering how I'm an Alpha female. Well, I don't have a pack so that is ruled out. I have a kin; that could be a possibility. However I've been an Alpha female for a long time. When I got kidnapped my parents were the previous Alphas of the Silents Owls. Now the rulers, who used to be the previous betas, are in charge of the pack since my parents got killed.

Of course, you're wondering why I don't march over to my pack and take it back. Well, I can't. Once my parents died all the kids they had are removed of their rights to claim the rule over that pack. The other thing in the way is my kin. Because I have a kin each of us was put into the same pack as the oldest member, which would be Wren. And even more surprisingly she got put into the Warriors pack.

At this point you're probably yelling 'Bullshit, you should be able to claim your pack!' and 'Why did Wren get into the warriors pack she's so gentle and shy!' The answer to your questions would be that anyone can become Alpha, the real answer though is that everyone thought I was dead. So when the Alpha of my current pack calls bullshit on my claim I'll warn you that I told you so.

After telling the Alpha that I was, in fact, an Alpha female. You could clearly see the disbelief on his face, that is to be expected of course because I am supposedly dead. The imposter Alpha suffered through a cough and stared at me and his Alphas interaction. Icarus had finally gotten over the shock of the situation and had taken the consideration to shift back to animal form and cover the front of my body.

Wren also shifted back into her animal and proceeded to rub her body against my back, in a way to thank be for saving her life. Looking around I realized that the pack gates had opened now, the whole pack stood behind their Alpha shocked at the whole ordeal. Laughing to myself I let a rare smile grace my lips as I gazed down at Wren, who was still rubbing her body against mine. Petting her head I let her leopard mark me with its scent, another way of calming her down.

'It's okay. YOu're safe and that is all that matters.' I said into the kin link. Rada peered at me through her pointed grey eyes and decided to curl her body around mine; the action reminding me of Kuro my masters cat.

Out loud I commanded Tero to go back into my 'soul' (the sword is bound to the owner through their soul, but since Sedona has it in a tattoo I technically gets stored into her tattoo). Once Tero was gone the Alpha seemed to relax slightly. The signs suggested that he was comfortable with himself without any weapons. His shoulders were slouched and his eyes hooded over slightly telling me that he was mind linking someone.

The fake Alpha cleared his throat saying "Let's go to my office to talk about this."

As he said this the pack behind the real Alpha dispersed and went about their normal routine. Sighing I nodded, allowing for my body to shift into my fox and proceed to follow them into the pack. The pack grounds were simple, which made me appreciate the fact that the Alpha didn't approve of spending unnecessary amount of money.

The pack house was in the center of the pack grounds, a three story white building which allowed for pack members (if they chose to) to live closer the the Alpha, Beta, and Thirds families. Wren and Icarus followed closely next to my sides making sure that nobody would hurt me. I found the action symbolizing their respect for me as the "leader" of our small kin, while this was awkward it felt nice to have some respect.

Entering the pack house, all the teens and children were running around playing tag. Their excitement allowed for me, Icarus, and Wren to pass by unnoticed. A staircase stood off to the side of the entrance, so when the Alphas started to walk up them I knew that was where they offices were. Once inside the office the fake Alpha gave us clothes which allowed us to change back into our human forms.

"I'm not Alpha, I'm a mentor for the upcoming members." Said the dragon guy. First I knew that was bullshit because the power radiating off him was huge compared to the other guy.

"Yeah right. I know an Alpha when I see one, and this guy isn't an Alpha.... You are." I replied back with sass. After that comment me and dragon guy started to bicker and fight. This went on until fake Alpha stopped us.

"HEY! SHUT UP!" He shouted at us. Turning to look at him we both deadpanned toward him.

Finally he spoke again saying "Akka these are some of the new pack members, new members this is one of your instructors Akka."

Great now the orientation starts.
