8 ½ years later
“Why won’t this..stupid thing…turn off..” I growl lowly in my sleep , as an annoying ringing begins to distort my dream – I harshly slam on my alarm clock however I could not resume my dream.. That oh so heavenly ice cream , placed on the table with a handsome Chris Hemsworth sitting across from me starts to glitch up.
“No..no…don’t go…” I begin to whimper as his handsome face with a little bit of chocolate on his lips begin to vanish. With in no time , my eyes flicker open and I nearly blinded by the intense sunlight.
“For heaven’s sake!” I growl deeply , while rubbing my closed eyes hoping that it will take away the sting that I feel. Once I am done rubbing my sore eyes , I pry them open and am struck with awe. I am amazed to see that this Monday morning is absolutely glorious and bright. My pink curtains have been pulled open , making the sun rays to shoot in to my room – I feel the warmth of it’s ray as it shines across my leg. My white bed sheet looks even whiter , and my room seems so much brighter.
It’s beautiful….but I need sleep
My wolf , Lexus , whines at the back of my head – pictures of her covering her ears with her paws while sadly whimpering floods my mind.
“Stop being such a cry baby , future alpha…We got a big day a head of us…” I say to her out loud , since I am in my room no one would really care if I talk to her out loud. Lexus seems to perk up after hearing her title being called – yes , Lexus and I are soon to be alpha of pack Silvertooth canines ….only if we do not find a mate , which we both are rooting for.
“What should we wear today , Lexy?” I ask her , jumping out of my bed and heading straight for the walk in closet. Being an alpha’s daughter has it’s perks , but it’s the responsibility that gets me up and motivated.
“How about something floral and cute?” I ask out loud , asking my other half for her opinions on what I should wear to my first day at school at a new highschool.
No!...Wear something badass and sexy…
She purrs in my ears , making me roll her eyes.
“How about badass….not sexy” I state , taking out my famous leather jacket that my dad had gifted me with. I loved it the moment I had seen it – on the back of it has a picture of a wolf howling to the moon , which just makes me shiver in lust just looking at it.
Fair enough…
She agrees with me. Lexus knows damn well as to what happens when I wear to sexy clothes. I walk to the bath room , deep in my own thoughts. I chuckle and shake my head as I recall all the articles I had read regarding us werewolves – werewolves are very attractive people , a sure enough we get a lot of attention.
I let a loud sigh as I feel the hot water sting against my back in the most delicious way possible.
Being an alpha’s daughter has it’s perks , as I stated before , but no body talks about the endless love confessions and fake relationships thrown your way. Every power hungry male werewolf , my age or not , seems to try to make me fall in love with them – why? So that they can take my daddy’s title. So ever since I was 13 years old , I have bee getting almost of the guys attention – not to mention the hatful glares from the female werewolves.
At first , I loved it – I was over the moon when my crush liked me back. I almost feel my heart ache as I remember the way I had found out he only liked me to get the Alpha title. I shake my head clear from all those negative and painful memories and just stare at my self in the mirror.
Damn Mama….
Lexus purrs in my ear , making me beam with confidence. My leather pants outlines my curves oh so perfectly , while my leather jacket sleeves are rolled up. My lipstick is bold and bright red , while my make up is done in a way that makes me look badass sexy. My black hair flows down my back – I look perfect , well almost perfect. I take a black cap , which had been laying on my bed , in between my fingers and then places it on my head.
Now , I look perfect – over the years , Lexus and I have learnt to dress up tough , be tough and scare the guys away. I take one last look at my appearance before grabbing my knapsack and walking out the door. I sniff the air , and the delicious smell of pancakes fills my nostrils making me rush downstairs and into the dining room.
I instantly smile when I see my little family all gathered around the dining table. More than 10 people sits around the table , eating and speaking to one another – the laughter fills my heart with pride and joy. My eyes connect with my dad’s , before he gives me a small knowing smile.
You feel proud don’t you?
My dad mind links me , which makes us both cut connections with every one around the table. I nod my head , smiling a great smile at him.
It makes me feel so much pride when watching them all be together as one…
I mind link back to my father.
This is the best part of being an alpha – seeing how happy and safe they are under your care and protection…
He fills me in on Alpha business – he started doing this and giving me small lessons about being an Alpha ever since I had turned 14.
“Tris , come and eat quickly – or you will get late for school” my mum breaks my moment with my dad.
“Morning Tris…”
“Hey Tris…”
“Tris , my girrrl…”
“Yo , tris”
I hear the people around me wish me a good morning after noticing my presence.
“Good morning everyone…” I wish them back , making sure to flash them a great big smile. As soon as I lay my ass on my chair , a plate with a huge pile of pancakes are laid in front of me – with out a second thought I start digging in. The good thing about being these superior being , is that I can eat a lot and hardly gain any weight. With a loud burp , I lay my fork on the plate and dab the corners of my mouth with a napkin.
“Tris!!” My mum calls out to me , for burping aloud in front of everyone.
“Whaaat?! It did not bother any one….” I point out , watching the other chuckle and giggle. I pull my chair back , getting ready to leave for school.
“Tris , before you leave I need to discuss a few things with you…” my father says sternly. I fall back down on to my chair and await. He opens his mouth to say some thing but instantly stops , before giving the rest a stern look. I have no doubt in my mind that he is telling them to give us some privacy. Just as I thought , every one started to get up from their chairs and leave the room – every one except my mom and dad.
“Right…so you know that this is your first time going to a mixed school…” he reminds me. To be quite honest , I have been feeling a bit terrified of the thought of being around humans. I have been raised in a werewolf environment , around only werewolves my age , so speaking openly has become such a normal thing to me – I fear that my tongue might slip and I could reveal our entire race of half man and half wolf. Not to mention , our entire race would be hunted , killed or blamed for murders we never did because we do not kill.
“So… I want you to go easy on them , and control your strength and anger…” my dad says with seriousness laced in his voice. There is another fear of mine – werewolves strength is 7 times more than that of a human. If I were to slap a human with my full power , I could just snap their neck.
“Why do I have to go to this school again?” I whine to my father.
“ I explained it to you a thousand times Tris…” he sighs.
“I need you to learn to get used to being around humans , if you want to become alpha” he says. I sigh , I do not want to be around humans but if I have to – I guess I will do so.
“ Okay…I guess I will get going now…” I say getting up from my seat , flinging my bag pack over my shoulder.
“Have a great day at school , princess..” my dad says after I lean down to kiss his cheek.
“Mink link us , if you get in to any trouble…” my mum says after I plant a kiss on her cheek as well. I walk to the door , but before exiting the dining room I turn around to my parents.
“Mother , please. I will be alpha one day – I can handle what ever is thrown my way…” I give them a wink.
“That’s my girl…” I hear my dad whispering with my super hearing abilities , as I walk out of the dining room which makes me smile with confidence.
“First day of school…Let’s do this!” I say filled with enthusiasm.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
I am standing outside of the school gates – as my mother predicted , I am late for my first day at school. How ever , I preferred it this way so that I did not have to be looked at with so many stares. I take a big sniff of the air that surrounds the school , and some thing in me starts to jump with excitement. The scent of humans , smelt some what intoxicating.
“Hey kid…” I am broken my trance. The security guard stands against the wall , folding his arms – he looks some what bulky and attractive , my mind makes me believe that he is a werewolf to. If not his appearance , their his scent says it to.
“ You must be new to a mixed school huh?” he asks me, to which I nod my head.
“ I thought so…” he mumbles to himself.
“ Let me give you some advice kid…Do not take such a big whiff like that again…” he tells me , walking towards me.
“Why not?” I question him. I guess by the tone in my voice and my aura he could notice that I had alpha blood in me , as his one eyebrow raised in question.
“You have alpha blood in you , yet you do not know…” he shakes his head , making me snarl at him.
“ Calm down princess…The answer to your question is that though we are half human , we are also half animal – our animal side could just take over us if we are of high ranking…like you are..” he points out.
“So what…I could most like attack the humans if my wolf enjoys what it smells?” I scoff.
“Correct!” he exclaims.
“I do not believe you…” I scoff at his ridiculous statement. I watch him roll his eyes at me , while closing the distance between us. He places his hands on my shoulders , and quickly turned me around so that I would be facing the glass on his security booth that is allocated by the entrance of the school yard. I gasp in shock and disbelief as I see my eyes glowing a deep red colour – proof that what he said was true. I hear him chuckle behind me after letting my shoulders go.
“Do not let your sniffer sniff out of control , Alpha…Now getting going , you going to be late for your first class…”
“Do not let your sniffer sniff out of control , Alpha…Now getting going , you going to be late for your first class…” he chuckles to him self and starts walking away from me.“Don’t let your sniffer sniff out of control” I mimic him under my breath.“Super hearing love…” he whispers , yet I hear it with my super hearing.“Now get!” he exclaims.“Yeah , yeah I am going…” I say sighing and rolling my eyes in irritation. Before I could leave though , I looked at my reflection in the window and waited till my eyes turned back to their deep hazel colour. I never really envied others for having coloured eyes – in fact , having brown eyes were much more magical. It is as if we have a hidden magic – when in the darkness , our eyes looks black but when in the sun our true colour appears. I let out a deep breath and begin walking to the school bui
“Excellent!!” Miss Barck exclaimed while clapping her hands together. I let out a nervous and embarrassing chuckle as I feel she is overreacting to me resighting a fairy-tale ; there is no way that this story could be true , it is just a little bed time story that every mother tell to their pup.Then why did you inform the entire class on it….The wing beneath my wings tells to me , while I imagine her roll her beautiful red orbs at me.“Nerd alert!” the class clown shouts out , but before the class could start snickering a loud growl erupts from throat which scares almost every one in submission – I say every one because the rogue decides to snicker.“Quiet – at least one of you knows your history…” the teacher reprimands the scoundrel , before giving me a proud smile. From the corner of my eyes , I see the rogues hand being raised.“Hmm?” the teacher acknowledges h
“So it was you who smelt so…delicious back in class…” I feel my heart skipping a beat , almost in a painful way I feel the humiliation flow through my veins.“How – How did –“ I curse in my head for stuttering.“Kitten…I had every girl in class soak their underwear just by stepping into the room – you were…the only one who smelt good enough to eat…” I close my eyes lowly moan , at what he had whispered in my ear , but bit down gently on my bottom lip to stop it from escaping. The warmth I felt from his body disappeared quickly , making me open my eyes. He was no where in sight , however I see the hall crowded with people staring at me.“What!!” I shout back , startling them all and making them scramble away from me. I fall against the lockers and take deep breathes while trying my hardest to fan away the blush on my face.“Are you okay?” I slightly jump in shock.“What do you want?” I grind my teeth , as I see a concerned Felix.“I saw you having a rough encounter with Leonidas – and
“11th grade” I say , shoving a spoon full of the plates content into my mouth.“And you guys?” I ask them both after shallowing the food.“12th…Why did you move to this school?” he asks me. I wanted to tell him the truth , but his girlfriend was there and I think he understood that when I looked at her and then to him before I answered.“ Needed a fresh start” I simply state – I rather not make up a lie which only leads to more lying , eventually I was bound to get caught up in them. He smiles at me in a mischievous way , as if he knew I was lying and that he knew something that I did not.“What do you think honey?” he asks Penny , which made me stroke her chin with her fingers before she says something that confuses and shocks me.“I think she has alpha blood in her – her aura is strong and independent. She already butted heads with the alpha of alphas , which means competition…” she finishes , happily putting some food in her mouth while looking at her man for a congratulation. Whil
“ I almost feel sorry for her.” I state.“Don’t!! She is just mean – every one in her posy is” Penny inserts.“Answer me this…” I say after a few minutes of silence.“…What if a human saw us fight?” I ask , only realising that our secrets could have been exposed. “You don’t have to stress about that , Leonidas mind linked us to keep watch – if any humans were present , we would have informed him and he would have stopped that fight” Dylan informs me , before taking a whiff of his mates scent.“You are in his pack?” I cock my eyebrow at him.“Yeah , we both go way back”“What’s he like?” I find my lips moving , I speak before registering what I said.“Why do you want to know?” The couple both look at me and wiggle their eyebrows at me.“Does someone have a little crush on the alpha?” Penny questions me in a Who lala manner.“Grow up” I roll my eyes at them both.“Babe , we need to get back to class” her mate says , bringing us both back to reality. I stand up and take my tray with me
“Tris?!!” My mum snaps her fingers in front of my face, trying desperately to get my attention. My cheeks redden….the cheeks on my face – but I am pretty sure my other cheeks are red. I lightly blush, as my thoughts were drifting to a certain jerk whose hands felt so good against my…“Greg!! Come here, there is something wrong with our daughter!” My mum shouts, squinting her eyes in suspicion. I find myself blinking in utter confusion. My wolf, giggles at the back of my head as I hear my father’s caring growls – he rushes into the room, his eyes darkened with worry but also with a promise. His eyes scan me, for most likely any bruises – when he does not find any, he begins to calm down.“There does not seem to be anything wrong with her…” my father states the obvious while striding to my mother’s side.“However….” he takes in a deep sniff. I see something playful dance in his eyes, and he does an awful job of hiding a smile.“There is a strong scent that lingers on you…a male scent…a
“Julian is a good guy and a good member of this pack – do not treat him differently, now that our friendship is over. As future Alpha, I know he will make a good warrior someday and I think he will benefit this pack” I tell him what’s on my mind. Though he was a complete ass, I still need to protect him.“Very well…” my dad agrees, however, his eyes say differently.“What did he say to you?” he asks me, his black orbs commanding me to answer.“I will…I will tell you guys later, I need to – to wash off” I offer them a soft smile before turning around and heading to bed.After showering, and washing away the stench of my ex-best friend’s blood, I find comfort in crawling into my cool comforters. I stare up at the ceiling, internally repressing the pain and hurt I feel. That is one of my most hated yet loved habits – I repress all my negative emotions. It helps me in the now, but always seems to creep up on me later – and almost always shows itself by having me explode._________________
“Are you okay? Do you want me to come with you?” Penny asks me, worry written across her face.“No, it’s okay – I will just go straight to class afterward,” I say, her lips turning into a small pout. She may be a human and a bit childlike, but I swear she knows more than meets the eye.I make my way to the toilets, the hallways seem abandoned. I enter the bathroom and rush over to the sink. I cup my hands under the faucet and splash my heated face with the cool liquid. It does nothing to soothe the heat that covers my entire body – why does that jerk rile me up so much? Why do his stares heat my body, leave my skin covered in goosebumps, and have a burning desire to have him against me?While lost in my thoughts, I take a bunch of paper towels and wipe my face from the water residue. I let out a troubled sigh before jerking away from my thoughts by a loud banging sound.My eyes snap to the bathroom door, which is now held against the wall. I growl in annoyance as a tall, handsome jerk
