Female or not, I'm the Alpha

Chapter 4

Ida Skye's POV-

My heart stopped and more tears erupted from my eyes.

"Dad, I'm only 16 years old, not forgetting I'm a girl, nobody will accept me!"

My Fathers eyes gazed right into mine, he took a deep breath before speaking...

"Ida, how can they not accept you?! You are the best fighter in our pack and to be completely honest, I have no doubt that you are the best fighter in the world!" His truthful compliment made my heart melt.

"-you've worked so hard all your life with training and school and although you may think I'm not proud of you, I really am!"

He placed both his hands on my shoulders, holding me firmly.

"You're skilled Ida! You truly are! You're blessed by the Moon Goddess In so many ways!" He smiled at me warmly before continuing.

"You're going to make such a good Alpha and I know it!... You care so much for our pack and who cares if you're female for heaven sake? Most male Alphas aren't half the leader you're going to be! Ida you completely deserve to lead this pack, and it makes me jealous to think that you're going to lead it better than I did!"

We both chuckled, I was totally overwhelmed by his words, he'd complimented me more in the past minute then he has the past 16 years!

"Thank you" I muttered, smiling gently at him.

He released me from his grip and walk back round his desk and sat back in his leather chair.

"It's only the truth Ida." He said whilst smiling.

"Please Dad, call me Skye, you know I can't sta-"

"When you were only a few days old, I wanted you to be called Skye, as the sky is beautiful and can be, and hold so many different colours, yet your Mother insisted on Ida as it means hardworking. Obviously your Mother got her own way, but we met in the middle." He claimed, laughing a little bit.

"That's how it ended up Ida Skye... I wasn't to keen on the name Ida at first but as time went on, it grew on me a lot, seeing you work extremely hard every single day."

"Your Mother definitely loved it." He added, giving me a warm look.

My eyes swelled up with tears, my name has so much meaning yet I hated it.

"Thank you..." I said again with complete honesty.

He gave me a kind and friendly nod before I turned around and headed out of the office.

Before I could reach for the door, my Father spoke up, I spun back around to face him.

"Oh and Skye, um, I just thought I should tell you that the ceremony where we announce you as our new Alpha is next Tuesday. We will also announce that Myles is our new Beta and that Tristan is our new Third."

I swallowed nervously, knowing the date of the ceremony made things seem so much more real.

"Okay, I'll be there!" I joked

"-and um, call me Ida... Or Skye. What ever floats your boat, I quite like the name Ida now." I said sheepishly.

A large smile grew on his face, before I turned on my heel and left the office.
