Blending Hearts

Chapter 1- Doom

Alicia's P. O. V

       Walking down the stairs. I hear male voices talking in the sitting room . I halt in my step ensuring that i am not seen. I walk slowly and quietly close to the door separating the sitting room from the inner rooms.

I hardly ever come to the sitting room. You will only see me there for three reasons. One, maybe to come eat with my dad. Two, when my best friend Michelle comes to visit me and lastly when i am being called out for some scolding.

     I pin my left ear close to the door to enable me hear what is being discuss. I was so sure, i hear the voice of my dad (Beta Luke ) and then someone else.

    We've never welcomed any pack visitors into our home for the past eight years ever since the death of my Mom and even if we want to, my dad only insists on few persons like Michelle, the Alpha, the Luna and some relatives.

The pack members have been seriously warned by my dad to stop coming to our house or me seen associating with them. My dad says they are bad vibes to me.
  And that i will openly tell you, it isn't true . The packs are like my second family.

The trust and togetherness between the packs and my family is no longer there ever since the killing of my mom. Which i also think is no fault of theirs.

  I wanted to ignore and walk pass since it was considered rude and a grave punishment is attached to it when a person is caught eavesdropping on the alpha and beta when discussing on matters concerning the pack.

I took one long stride to leave, but stop when I heard my name being said.

     "Alicia is a sure bet, since she is a very good fighter." I hear the voice of my dad (beta Luke) saying .

I furrow my brow. "What! what is he saying? I am not that good at fighting. Ever since my first shift at sixteen, i have still been practicing really hard. I just hope he is lying for my benefit this time."

       "Are you sure, she is a sure bet for this?." Questions an anonymous voice.

       "Very sure " my dad replies with confidence seeping out from his voice.

      " Ensure you tell her this, and make sure she doesn't refuse. Hope am good?" asks the anonymous.

"I wonder who that is? He sure likes asking questions.... I scoff silently.

         "Yes Alpha Aden." My dad stands up doing a little bow and the alpha walks to the door and then he stops to sniff around, before he finally makes an exit.

   I hope i didn't get caught.

I didn't get to see his face, but seeing his back alone sends a jolt of electricity inside of me that i haven't felt before.

       I quietly walk to my room, hoping not to have been seen. 

     I got to my room and sits on my bed, in deep thought, wondering what my dad and the alpha concluded about me. I just hope its works to my favour this time around.

      I yawn loudly feeling pains in my eyes due to sleepless nights.

    Lately, i have been busy reading through a werewolf book i found two days ago in my dads drawer when i went there to look at his and my mom photo albums that they took on their first date.

They were looking less young and old fashioned.
    
      My dad told me he was in his late thirties when he found my mom his mate and she was in her late twenties. They didn't even know they were ever going to find each.
