The misfits

25: Everest

Logan was no longer his name. He was now called Wolverine. His name was recognised all over the world and he had lost all his memories of his werewolf life. He had married a mutant, Jean Grey, and had two kids.

His first son was Nate Grey. Nate had an aura that lured people and would make anyone believe him. This not only made him the most attractive person in school, but also made it easy for him to cheat in everything. After graduating from senior year, he suddenly went missing.

In the meantime, Logan's second daughter, Everest was growing up and getting ready to go to High school. She faced many problems and even lost most of her friends.

When Nate Grey was found thanks to Everest, Logan was held under Nate's trance, causing him to see Everest as a useless child. This made her feel the need to leave. She was not appreciated anywhere. She lost her childhood, her friend, her family and even her mate.

In the end, she could only go back to the group that accepted her in the beginning. The group that had thought of her as a demon with too many powers.

However, no matter where she went, she never felt accepted. Bonded with anyone. She was always alone, no one to depend on. All she wanted was a good life, but no one would help her.

When she found out she was the next alpha royal, she felt happy. But with all the judgement from everyone around her, she still felt out of place.

I almost cried while telling the last few moments of my life. However, everything I had said was true. The room was awfully quiet, though the female Beta had started to tear up.

"I'm sorry. We didn't know what you have been through. However, if you really are the next alpha royal, you will have to fight me."

I smirked. This was gonna be a piece of cake.

We moved to the battle ground. The air was fresh and it was a sunny day.

"Okay. Here are the rules. One, you must pin down the other for a full 10 seconds before you will be declared as the champion. Two, you can choose to fight either in wolf form or in human form, whichever is best for you. Good luck."

He patted me on the shoulder, as if he pitied me. Little did they know that I had been trained to be an assassin since the age of 3.

The beta tried mocking me but all I did was smile the whole way. I extended the claws and ran towards him, knocking him off balance with my sheer strength. He tried to ram me but I held my hand up to his face, claws ready to tear him up to pieces. He held a hand up to cover it and I used the opportunity to flip him over and pin him to the floor. He tried fighting back, even resorting to his wolf form, but I was too strong for him. He lay down, giving up all hopes of winning.

After the 10 seconds of heavy breathing, there were loud cries of happiness and some weeping at the corner. Looks like no one really liked the obnoxious beta.

"So, you're an Alpha royal now?"

I had given the rogues a call. Well, maybe just Wendy and Daniel. I wanted to talk to Emma, but she was too busy to pick up her phone calls.

"Yeah. I won't be back for a few weeks. I was wondering, maybe you guys wanna come over? We would be able to organise more training here. Besides that, there are many rooms here and you guys can stay here instead of the church. So?"

I could feel my heart racing. I really wanted them to say yes. I felt really lonely here too. I did not recognize anybody.

"We will discuss it and get back to you okay? See you soon." Wendy said before ending the call.

"Alpha, you need to get a mate soon before we can actually let you begin training as an Alpha Royal. Should we prepare the search for our next Alpha male?"

Everyone was so into a male leading didn't they? Sigh. I needed a chance to prove to them that Alpha females were underrated. I had to change this mindset.

The first thing I had to do was choosing outfits for different occasions. First, I had to design a signature look for myself which I would use for most activities, including hunts and check ins. I remembered the various clothing I had seen in my Father's closet when I was younger, but his outfit choices were too flashy. I decided to go for a different style. Black leather jacket with a purple singlet, matched with black jeans and knee-high boots. On the shoulders of the jacket, there were small patches of fur on each side. My black hair with white highlights would be in a loose braid and hung over the side of my right shoulder. The makeup would be purple eye shadow with a small wing tip eyeliner.

The second look was one for the royal meets and balls. It would have to be fancy. I pondered for a moment, before deciding on a blue midnight dress, long enough to cover my legs but with slits at the side to allow for more mobility. I would wear blue leggings underneath too. I would put my hair half up with a small braid at the back.

For both outfits, I would wear two rings on each finger, as part of decoration. The markings on my face would be those of a regular alpha. I would also have markings on both arms.

After the wardrobe was chosen, I had to start training. Not physical training, but rather training for how to lead a whole kingdom. This was gonna be a long day.
