Becoming the Alpha Queen

Chapter 9

Everything fell deathly quiet all at once. I gasped loudly, my heart pounding in my chest. I barely noticed when Nyx and Steven laced their hands on my shoulders, or when Kaysei grabbed my hand. Nobody moved, nobody said a word; they were just staring at the newly crowned Alphas.

"Oh no.." I whimpered.

If my sister and Ciro were true mates, that meant that she would have to go live with the Night Star pack. But she had already accepted Alpha Title in front of the Great Spirit, which meant that she was officially Alpha and couldn't leave Winter Breeze. Finally, my father stepped forward.

"Everyone, go into the Pack house. We will sort this out." He said to the Winter Breeze wolves gathered on the North side of the main rock. Turning to look in my direction, he continued, "You four stay here You might be of help."

The crowd murmured and began to slowly began to walk toward the pack house.

"Night Star! Go to the border! I will meet you there when this is done!" Abhay growled.

The smaller group of Night Star wolves on the South side began to walk toward the border that separated Winter Breeze and Night Star territory. Once everything was gone, everything was silent again.

"Shift back!" my father commanded.

The 5 male wolves whined and pawed at the ground. My dad sighed and pulled the tablecloths off the nearest tables. He ripped them up into large pieces and threw the scraps onto the wolves. There were small whimpers and suddenly the guys were back, shivering and completely naked, save for the piece of table cloth they had wrapped around their waists.

"Oh my god!" Nyx gasped. "Look at them!"

"Now isn't the time Nyx!" Steven snapped.

"But look..." she whispered, nudging me lightly.

Even through the whirlwind of emotions and thoughts i was experiencing, some girly part of me could still appreciate the Night Star guys. The tattoos that I had seen on their wrists and neck continued but only to their elbows and to the base of their neck. I also noticed that they seemed to be traced of their veins, giving the illusion that you could see under their skin and look at the blood running through their body. Added to this, all three of them had a similar tattoo dead center in their collar bone. The base of their tattoos were black stars, but there were small differences for each of them. Ciro's star had a white outline of of a crown in the center. Gabriel's star had the same thing, but in addition it had a pair of hands directly underneath the crown, directly supporting it. Reza's was the only tattoo that didn't have a crown in it, instead it had two arrows going directly through the star, crossing each other in the center. I realized that these tattoos must represent the status they held in the pack. I also spotted a set of knives on Gabriels left side, a growling, snapping wolf on Reza's left shoulder and a wolf howling at the moon on Ciro's right bicep.

"Woah.." I breathed,. There were so many tattoos, how were they able to deal with the pain? Those tattoos made the Night Star boys seem even more terrifying.

Sin! Throw me a shirt and pants from the basket please! Tanyas voice entered my head.

Uhh..yea sure. I replied, running to get what she asked. I reached for the nearest clothing basket sitting on the floor next to the table we had been sitting at. I grabbed an extra large shirt and shorts, as quickly as possible and handed them to my sister. I held up another table cloth and covered her while she changed.

Once she was done, I stepped back and moved to the side, motioning to Nyx and Steven to come and stand next to me.

Ciro was just staring at Tanya and i could see the pain and love in his eyes and i realized he must realize the challenging situation they were in. Suddenly, Ciro made a move to get close to Tanya, in an attempt to comfort her. Altair and Daren immediately blocked his path, growling. Gabriel and Reza took offense since they were growling at their Alpha and stepped forward, snarling and baring their teeth. 

"Boys! Stop!" my dad barked, stepping between them. "Control your wolves!"

So its their wolves that are making them act this way...of course the boys wouldn't act this way normally, its just a side effect of the shifting, they haven't fully bonded with their wolves so they cant control them. I thought to myself.

"Sir," Ciro said, braking the silence that had descended one again. "I mean no offense and i understand that Tanya accepted Alpha Title but.... I want her to com live with me in Night Star. It is her rightful place as my mate and Alpha Female of the pack."

"I understand Ciro, and under normal circumstances I would allow her to go with you, but you forget that she accepted Alpha Title already. She is as much Alpha Female of Winter Breeze as she is of Night Star."

"Dad," Tanya cut in. "I am Alpha now and I can make my own decisions."

"So you will come with me?" Ciro asked, his face lighting up.

"No." Tanya replied, turning to look at him. " I know you are my mate, and believe me, I want nothing more than to be at your side as Alpha Female but my dad is right. I am Alpha Female of Winter Breeze now, and I have a responsibility to them."

"But you are MY MATE! Night Stars Alpha Female! Don't tell me that you will give it up because you have a "responsibility" to this pack!" Ciro exclaimed.

"If its so easy for you to reject responsibility, maybe you should give up your Alpha Title to Night Star and come live with Winter Breeze with me." my sister countered, not allowing her emotions to come in the way of her decision.

Oooh drama! Where's the popcorn? Steven mind linked me and Nyx, trying to lighten up the dark mood hanging over our heads.

"Enough!" Abhay snarled, stepping forward. To my dad he said, "Gregory, you know my son has a point. The females duty is to her mate, not to her pack or anyone else. She needs to come live with him at Night Star. So why doesn't your little daughter go home pack her bags and we'll have her home in a few hours. Then the problem will be solved."

"Abhay, you know that is not my call to make. Tanya and Ciro are Alphas now and they must resolve this situation as such." My dad growled back.

"Allow me to restate myself. Tell your daughter to go get her bags or get ready for the fight of your life. Either way she will be coming with us tonight." 

"Is that a threat, Abhay?" my father snapped, drawing himself up to his full height.

"Not at all Gregory. Its a promise." Abhay growled in reply, looking at my dad straight in the eye.

"Oh my god..." Nyx whimpered. "Did they just declare war with us?"
