Luke POV
Standing outside the great hall my heart was pounding in my chest. It felt like I was about to have an anxiety attack when my train of thought was interrupted.
“So, you are really going through with this?” I heard a voice ask as I felt a hand on my shoulder.
It was beta Mathias. He was a great man and warrior and the pack almost respected him more than the alpha of the pack.
I think he was the main reason why people in the pack left me alone.
Being Kate’s dad – he had known me since I was just a few days old and seen me and Kate grow up together. He always treated me with respect and not like the outcast I was. But even he had tried to talk me out of pledging to the supreme alpha – knowing he couldn’t protect me in this.
But when he could see that I was determined to due it anyway, he started training and preparing me for the selection. I trained along side Kate every night and every night I was amazed to see her shift and her wolf emerge. Kate was stronger than she looked. She was so small and tiny but when fighting she was athletic, fast and flexible and it was clear that beta blood was running through her veins.
Her wolf was not big in size either but immensely breathtaking. The color of its fur was the same as her hair color – soft golden and the eyes big round and green just like hers. I liked her wolf. It was always rubbing up against me making me pet it and making Mathias very uncomfortable and Kate embarrassed. Which always made me laugh.
“Yes” I answered shortly. Catching my own breath.
He sighed and then walked in front of me showing me to my place.
There were a lot of people in the great hall. But then again there was people pledging from five different packs. The alphas from the different packs weren’t here yet but the betas was. It was apparently their job to make the pledgers from their packs ready before the selection ceremony.
“All the pledgers will be standing in a line up here at the end of the great hall. The alphas will be up there on the stage before of you guys and the spectators will be seated behind you. When the supreme alpha enters she will walk through the great hall and will be seated up their along side the alphas and in front of all of you. As soon as her entrance and title is announced you will bow down in respect and at no point will you look at her. She will not be choosing any one tonight. Tonight, is just about shoving the pledgers and shoving her our respect. Tomorrow is the real deal where the tests and the actually selection will begin, and you will have the opportunity to show off your worth” Mathias explained.
“Excuse me – did you say her?” one of my classmate Tomas asked in disbelieve.
“Yes the supreme alpha is a female – the first and only one of her kind and like the ones before her she was chosen by the moon goddess and because of that we will show her the same respect as the ones before her” Mathias stated.
“She will never be the supreme alpha! She will be forced to become Luna as soon as she is marked by her mate, and he will become the supreme. But lets all play pretend until then – why don’t we” a rough voice from the back uttered.
“Who said that!?” Mathias yelled out – offended that anyone would have the audacity to speak of the supreme alpha in such a manor.
“Well, it’s the truth!” the voice coming up along side Mathias. He was tall, big, muscular and with scars alongside his body transparent through his shirt. He looked terrifying and I stepped back feeling his wolf just under the surface.
“Alpha Mazon – you’re are here early” Mathias addressed the rough voice without reacting to anything else coming out of the man’s mouth even though it was clear that he was infuriated of the words spoken about the supreme.
“Yes I wanted to see what all the spectacle was about” alpha Mazon answered uninterested.
“You don’t have any pledgers this year” beta Mathias asked getting more annoyed with Mazons attitude.
“Hah! No! Why on earth would I want my best warrior to pledge to a woman” he laughed right back in Mathias face.
“You would want them to be honored by being chosen by the supreme alpha” Mathias growled through his teeth.
Mazon looked down at Mathias with an arrogant smile showing his canines.
“I just want to see if this woman is at least worth banging” he said smiling through his teeth.
Mathias almost lost it.
“Gentlemen is there a problem?” a young tall and extremely handsome man spoke.
“Are the pledgers informed and ready. The alphas are ready, and the supreme alpha will be making her entrance in about ten minutes. We would not want to keep her waiting – would we?” he asked with a polite smile.
“Of course, not – pledgers get ready” beta Mathias ordered us.
I didn’t know who the man that interrupted beta Mathias and Alpha Mazon was, but he had this royal aura surrounding him. He was young but walked out of the great hall with a confidence suiting an old and experience alpha.
“Face forward, Luke” Mathias words made me jump a little not realizing I had been trailing the unknown man with my eyes as he left the great hall.
I didn’t get to ask about the unknown man before the five alphas emerge to the stage in front of us taking their place.
Alpha Ezrod from my pack. Alpha Mazon the male chauvinistic asshole. And three other older alphas which name I didn’t know.
I took a deep breath in and stood with my head held high and awaited my destiny.
Silence.
Hearing the doors to the great hall open and then that sound.
“Click” “click” “click” “click”
The supreme alpha POV Are the ready? I asked as my beta Steffan returned. “Almost! Alpha Mazon is making a scene as always – you should be aware of him. I don’t trust him” Steffan states. I smile to myself. My beta was always so protected of me. “I’m not a fool. I don’t trust any of them” I answer. “Then why are we here? Let’s go home” he said almost pleading towards me. “I need to show that I’m not afraid of them and that I will honor my obligations as supreme alpha. They think I’m weak for being a woman. They need to know that I demand the same respect as any other supreme before me. Not only am I the supreme alpha but I’m also the alpha of the biggest and strongest pack. And even though it is built on the foundation of mutual respect among every pack member I will use violence and force if I have to with the other alphas” “Then let’s show these assholes who the fucking supreme is! He said with a big smile. I smile ba
Luke POV Fucking fuck with extra fucking fuck sauce. What was I thinking? Was I deliberately trying to humiliate myself, my pack, my beta, my alpha……..my aunt! My heart sank a bit thinking of her. I really hope she wasn’t one of the spectators. She didn’t deserve this after all she done for me. She raised me and loved me every day as her own. She never met her mate and never got kids on her own. A part of me thinks she choose it that way so she could be there for me. Like she knew I was going to be different and that I would require extra care and protection. When the alpha ordered the beat down of me to get me to shift. She stepped in and challenged the alpha. She shifted and her wolf stood over my bleeding body prepared to take on everybody in pack. Even prepared to die for me. I didn’t remember anything after that. I passed out due to my severe injuries. I was later told by Kate that the alpha himself launched at her going f
Luke POV “Luke breath” the words rang through my head and my breathing slowed down as well as my heartbeat. My bones were breaking, and I was nowhere near in control of my actions. “Luke focus on my voice and try to regain control” But I couldn’t my body was starting to tremble, and my canines were coming out. Suddenly the supreme alpha stood up. “Beta Mathias – will you please excuse this boy from the ceremony since he is clearly not feeling well. Beta Steffan will help you escort him out of the hall so we can continue. Omg! She noticed – that means I created a scene in the middle of the ceremony. But what affected me the most was hearing her call me a boy. A boy! Not young man or just man – but a boy! As if I was merely a child who had snuck into the ceremony and for fun put myself among the pledgers. Maybe that was why she stopped in front of me – in disbelieve that I could be an actual pledge
Luke POVIt all seemed like a nightmare. The ceremony, the supreme alpha, my first shift but then I woke up and realized that it wasn’t just a nightmare. It all happened! And I started feeling sick.I was in my own bedroom lying in my own bed. I looked down at my body. My dads’ old suit was ruined just like my future. I tried to sit up, but my head felt like it was about explode.“Please lie back down before you hurt yourself”Omg! Was I hearing voices again?But then a figure stepped out from the shadows of my room.“Do I need to ask you again?” her soothing calm voice filled the room.What was going on? Was I still dreaming or maybe I died?Because in my present and in my room stood the supreme alpha. She was just as beautiful as I remembered.I tried to push my self up further, but the pain was to much and I felt the darkness surrounding me as I glided towards the floor and of
The supreme alpha POVI sighed as I closed the door behind me to his room.I wanted so badly to go back in and comfort him. I could feel his confusion, frustration, and sadness through the door. He was still so innocent and childlike – just a boy. Even though I knew he was 17 years old and soon to become a man and recognize his mate.But I already went too far and pushed the boundaries as a supreme. I shouldn’t have come. But I wanted to make sure he was okay. My beta Steffan offered to come instead so it wouldn’t become more of a spectacle than it already had. But I needed to see him with my one eyes. It was never my plan to speak to him and certainly not touch him. But he looked so fragile lying in his bed. My intend was only to comfort him but my present and my touch confused him more than it put him at ease. It was my own selfish need that made come, not his, and that made me feel even worse.But when he fell to floor in the great ha
The supreme Alpha POV“I’m leaving Lucy” I said feeling her approach me.I walked past her and down the stairs and out the front door. I took a deep breath in off the midnight air and got a bit startle not realizing that she followed me outside until she spoke:“Why are you here, Isa?”I turned around. She was the only one besides my beta who called me by my name.“You know why I’m here – the election ceremony for the ones who wish to pledge to me as the supreme alpha. You know how it goes – you pledge to my father” I answered.Her eyes narrowed at me.“That's not what I meant. Why did you come to my house – why did you seek him out?”“I didn’t” I lied. Actually, I had been searching for him for years and now that I finally found him I wasn’t going to give him up because she wanted to play mamma bear.“I needed to
Luke POVI woke up from someone pulling one my toes.Could it be? Could she still be here? But why on earth were she pulling on my toes?I opened my eyes and looked down my body and sitting on my bed pulling my toes was Kate."OMG KATE! Get of my bed!" I screamed and kicked her so hard she flew of the bed.“Well good morning to you, sunshine” she replied with a grin.“What are you doing here? And fuck what time is it?" I said trying to find my phone to look at the clock.5 o’clock! What the actually fuck! It wasn’t even light outside yet.“You didn’t show up” she said and looked down at her hands.Show up. What was she talking about? Didn’t she hear what had happen to me.“My 18birthday?” she answered my confused expression that seem to be covering my morning face.“Oh no Kate! I’m SO sorry! I’m such an ass”I f
Luke POV“I will talk to the supreme about my aunt’s safety” I announced out loud to Kate. And to myself.“Are you mad!? You can’t just go talk to the supreme.” Kate answered.“Of course, I can! We… we have this thing.”“Omg! It was a dream” Kate said standing up stretching her body from sitting on the floor for too long. “Can we at least go get something to eat while we discuss this delusion of yours further? We have to be ready for the trials at 07:30 and its 06:00 now.”I grabbed some clothes and put them in my bag along with a towel and a water bottle.“Okay – lets go”We walked down the stairs and out of the house trying not to wake Lucy. No one spoke a word as we walked towards the café. We found a table and sat down ordering breakfast and a lot of coffee.“Do you even know what a supreme is?” She sudd
