The Royal Alpha

Chapter 6: Meeting the Familiar Stranger.

SIERRA

The blaring alarm wakes me up from my sleep. I did not sleep well at all. The entire night I dreamt about a black wolf with dark blue eyes. The blue eyes felt very familiar but I am sure that I do not know who that black wolf was. That's the reason why I kept waking up in the middle of the night. If I come across this werewolf, I am surely going to have his head on a platter for destroying my beauty sleep. Because of him I am going to look so ugly on the first day of my training.

I look around myself. I am on my bed in the room I now share with my roomie. She is not here meaning she must be in her training. She sure is weird. The entire time I was with Aztec last night, she and her brother were constantly poking in their heads to stop us from having some alone time. I desperately needed it. I will deal with her later. Right now, I need to focus on looking at least a little bit presentable for my first day of training.

I take a quick shower and dress in the uniform given to each one of us. It is pair of knee length shorts and a long-sleeved shirt. Both black in colour. I quickly put it on and tie my hair in a high pony tail to avoid their interference in my training. I put on a little makeup to hide my dark circles under my eyes. I put on my training shoes and head out of the door towards the meeting hall.

Aztec told me yesterday that our introduction to the elders and their apprentices will take place in the meeting hall. Then we will move out in the clearing to start with the evaluation training.

I enter the meeting hall to see that all the Elders have arrived and are standing in the centre of the meeting hall with what looks like their respective apprentices. Apart from them and me, Caleb, Kaden, Joshua and a girl whom I don't know are present here. Alexandria is nowhere around. I roll my eyes mentally knowing about her careless attitude towards training.

There are total five elders. The elder at the extreme left is standing all tall with a little grey hair. He has a stone-faced look as he is talking to the other Elder standing to his left. This elder looks relaxed and has a grandpa like aura around him. The elder in the middle is a white-haired man with a slight bend in his stance and is talking to the other two elders on his left. He has a wise aura around himself. Both the elders have a calm aura around themselves and are tall unlike the elder whom they are talking to.

After "observing" every elder, I start walking towards the group of trainees when I feel someone watching me.

I look around to find the same guy from yesterday staring at me intensely. I feel a shiver run down my spine at the intense look of curiosity, familiarity and anger? Why would this person be angry with me? From the looks of this guy, he doesn't seem to be a bad guy so I just give him a small smile and dismiss any bad intention behind his staring. He might just be having a mental evaluation of every new wolf.

He is also standing behind the white-haired elder who looks older than any other werewolf I've ever seen. This guy must be his apprentice. It can be one of the reasons for his staring. I shake my head when the guy doesn't smile back but seems to be shocked at my initiative.

"Hey everybody. Good morning. I am Sierra Borris from the Samara Pack." I introduce myself to the girl.

"Hello. I am Avery Lowell from the Moon Stone pack," she whispers and I get a hint that she is nervous about this training. Looking at her makes me nervous too. I wonder what will happen.

Alexandria makes an entrance at the exact moment causing all the elders to stop their whispering conversation and focus on her as she stands awkwardly under the elders' scrutiny.

"What is the time pup?" asks the elder at the extreme left.

I unconsciously look at the big clock on the wall in front of me behind the elders. It is 5 past 7 which means that Alexandria is late.
