Pointed Teeth

Chapter Three

Ax's PoV

"alphas are the top dogs. You know what alpha means, your not stupid. But when your an alpha werewolf, you have extra abilities: you can shift into a full wolf, peer into people's memories and create beta's of your own with the bite, the alpha rules everything, they are like the kings and queens. Then you have the beta's, which is what you are, they are straight forward, you can be bitten beta or born beta, it doesn't matter. Everyone always starts out as a beta, They are like the foot soldiers of the alphas. And then there's the omega, which is what I am. Omegas were once beta's or alphas, if their alpha status is somehow taken - omega's are made when a beta takes an innocents life. In my case, it was my dads." Atticus explains as I sit on a tree over by the football field, the gym class too far to hear our conversation "But you have to remember that each rank can rise and fall to each of the three." He says, nodding I lean forward "so first, we need to get control of that anger of yours." He says.

Going to speak I stop when he pushes me off of the tree. Feeling pure rage course through my veins I jump to my feet, my fangs and claws out as my eyes glow bright yellow, Atticus kicks me in the chest causing me to fall back over the stump, I feel his knee on my throat "I'm fine! I'm back!" I say as I tap his knee he releases me.

The rest of the afternoon went by with Atticus making me angry and then kicking the shit out of me as punishment. He gave up for the day and said we'd continue tomorrow, that he had to go help his little sister with something so I should go home and do some research on my project or something.

But I didn't, instead I went to the gym in the school. It was empty, cause it was night time obviously. I was on the bench-press, without a spotter, but considering I just found I'm a supernatural creature with supernatural strength, I think I'm good.

I got so caught up in thinking of my new found species I hadn't noticed Artemis shouting at me "ADLER!" Flinching I almost drop the weight but catch it just as it falls, lifting it off of me I sit up "What?" I ask sternly, her eyebrows arching "You was lifting too much." She says sternly, looking at the weight I scowl "Well, clearly I wasn't if I could lift it...? What are you doing here anyway." I retaliate "I could ask you the same thing." She shoots back "I'm here working out? As it clearly shows. Are you here working out?" I ask seriously how, pure curiosity, she scowls and shoots me a glare "I was coming to drop off a report for Mrs Hartley." She says "The chemistry teacher?" I ask, watching her nod "She helped me with some personal experiments." She says before stopping herself "Why am I even talking to you!" She says.

Following her out of the gym, I lock it up behind me "You seriously have something against me? You took one look at me and immediately decided you was going to hate me." I say as she reaches her car "I don't hate you. I told you, I don't know what I think about you right now. You irritate me for some reason." She says seriously, looking around I scowl "My sister was meant to pick me up?" I murmur, not spotting her car anywhere "Have fun waiting." She smiles, clenching my jaw I sigh as I step back, watching her climb into her car I turn back towards the gym.

Going to sit down by the gym doors, I stop as i hear car doors open again "Come on before I change my mind." Looking back at Artemis, I crack a small smile before walking over and quickly climbing in the passenger seat, my bag rested on my knees.

Watching as Artemis pulls up to my house, I scowl at the sirens outside my house "What happened?" Artemis asks, catching a large scent of blood, my eyes widen "Something bad... something really... bad..." I whisper, jumping out the car I hadn't taken into account that she did the same and followed me inside.

Looking around desperately I spot my mum, dad, sister and brother stood by the fireplace, my mum looking to me "Axel..." she cries, slowly walking around the corner into the living room, Artemis still following me, my eyes widen more as a body comes into view, the body of my youngest brother, Ewan.

"h-how..? What?" I whisper, three penetrating chest wounds, I'm assuming were claws "We was picking Lars and Danielle up from school..." my dad says, his voice cracking due to sadness "Who... did this..? Who was it!?" I shout, my hands balling into fists I feel my claws pierce the palm of my hands "WHO DID IT!? I'LL MAKE SURE THEY HAVE AN EXPRESS TICKET TO HELL!" I shout, Artemis grabbing my shoulders, she holds me back and pulls me out of the way of the police and coroners who are trying to do their job.

She pulls me out back as I thrash in her grip, I hear my mum and siblings crying as my dad holds them "You need to calm the hell down!" She shouts, without missing a beat I let out a rough, chesty roar at her, my fangs on show as my eyes glow bright yellow, blood still dripping from my hands, Artemis stares at me and pushes me against the wall, looking down when she puts a half circle of black grainy material around me against the wall "A werewolf... that's why I got weird vibes off of you." She says seriously, growling I go to walk away but am stopped by a force that pushes me back "Who the hell are you!" I shout
