Chapter Three

I woke up to someone shaking me vigorously.

"Arghhh..... What is it?"

"Wake up dumbass, we're late for school". Mason said as he shook me.

"Who cares? I can walk in whenever I want to" I groaned as I tried to get back to sleep. The truth was I actually could since I'm the Alpha.

Frustrated Mason ran a hand through his jet black hair with a tint of copper at the tips" Seems like you're not bulging anytime soon huh Kyle?"

" No" I replied

" Okay. See you later". Mason sighs as he goes to bring the bad boy downstairs he knows that will for sure wake him up.

"Why is today Monday? I wish I could be in weekends till I'm tired of it". I thought as I tried to get back to my awesome dream.

I saw myself in the midst of a beautiful garden. As I walked toward the gate guarding the garden, I fell into a pool.

I jerked up only to realize it was ice cold water that was poured on me and that wouldn't be the work of anyone else but my playful, arrogant best friend and Beta, Mason Sanchez.

"I thought you still wouldn't wake up, I was considering filling your bed with coals then you'll know I'm serious. You should have seen your face. Big bad Alpha of the SilverLake pack hilarious face when woken by cold water would have made the headlines" he wheezed as he laughed harder.

"If not for one thing, I should have choked you already. You can be so annoying" I said angrily as I stomped to the shower.

"Ewww I'm not gay, man. I love being with the girls not guys and sorry to burst your bubble, there are three things why you can't do me anything" he mused with a disgusted but amused face.

" Can I know 'em sire?" I asked as I washed my hair.

I totally forgot Mason as I washed my chocolate brown hair. I stared at the mirror with my emerald green eyes, my chiseled jawline and a defined body with scattered scars from battles as my dad, Alpha George stepped down.

I shifted my concentration to the tattoo on my left arm with a wolf howling at the moon. I ran my fingers on it as I remembered the reason it's there.

I snapped back to reality as I tried to grasp what the dumbass was saying and caught his last two phrases

"- help you".

"I didn't get you bruh. Could you repeat it again?" I chuckled as I heard him groan. I then put on the shower and thanks to super hearing abilities we werewolves have, I could hear him over the sound of the shower.

"First, I'm your bad ass Beta".

"Second, I'm the only one that can put some sense to you when you want to act carelessly because of anger". I knew he rolled his eyes at that comment.

"Last but not the least, I'm your best friend. We've known each other from birth. I just pity your mate hoping you don't scare her because you're too ruthless .......which ain't your fault though" he frowned at the last part.

" Yeah whatever". I wrapped the towel around my waist as I looked in the mirror a last time before stepping out.

The reason Mason got sad at that part was because Eva, my immediate younger sister by two years was his mate.

******Flashback******

She just clocked 17 when Mason came back from searching for his mate after a long while when he caught her scent and trailed it to the training grounds.

According to him, it was heavenly.

Me and Eva were as close as twins could be and we looked much alike except she had plumps lips with 5'5 height and mine like a thin line with 6'2 which was obvious but didn't matter.

We did everything together, fought, played, entered trouble to the extent my other siblings, Colt her twin, Marietta and Hilton, our last born grew jealous but not serious about it.

I could still vividly remember as her screams filled the air as she tried fighting a rogue we encountered as we were at our favourite spot by the forest.

We were chilling in the tree house we built as she talked on and on of how sweet Mason is when the rogues attacked. I shifted and tried signalling the others through the mind-link when I heard her scream.

I turned around and saw her brown fur matted with blood as she fought off a rogue that bit her shoulder.

I ran towards her but was tackled by two rogues who I ripped their throats out before I launched to the one who held her.

The intrusion seemed strange because they were very few who came unlike the others that came in hundreds.

The wolf that held her was a big brown wolf with little streaks of silver along its nape though I was still larger than it. The pain forced Eva to shift as she stood there naked and trembling.

I growled as the wolf shifted and turned to be a man in his early thirties.

"Stop there, little wolf" the man snarled. I didn't want to stop but I had to for Eva's sake.

" What do you want? Leave my pack lands now or else I'll rip your throat out". I snarled as I heard paws thudding from a distance.

" My oh my, doesn't she look pretty?" He said as he ran his hands across her hips. I was about to forge forward when I heard a growl from behind. The black wolf with tints of copper stood beside me.

"I'm going to rip his throat. What's he doing with my mate?" Mason said with anger rolling off the mindlink as he launched to the man.

"Now I get it. You're her mate, too bad she wouldn't stay for long". He laughed maniacally then he stopped as he saw the pack warriors assemble beside both me and Mason.

" What do you want?" I repeated.

"Came to put an end to the stupid prophecy that is ripping me of the power that rightfully belongs to me. Your Pack is involved in that prophecy so I want to make sure I get rid of anything that'll contribute to me not executing my plan" he snarled.

At his snarl, the remaining of the rogues jumped out of the bush and attacked us. We fought with all our might and just when we were almost done with them, I heard Eva's voice through the mind-link....

"I love you"

I guess it wasn't just me she said that to. Mason also because he let out a sad howl and then I snapped my head to her direction only to find her on the floor. The man had gone already.

I felt like a part of me left. That only made the anger to fuel me to recklessly kill the rest of the rogues.

We mourned her and for a while, Mason wasn't himself anymore having lost his mate, we prayed to the Moon Goddess to help him with a second chance mate. I wasn't ready to lose my best friend too.

*****End of flashback*****

"Well ok, lets head of to school" I grunted breaking the silence as I came out with my towel on my waist. I shooed Mason out of the room and walked into my walk in closet to pick what I'll wear. I settled on a blue t-shirt and black jeans and white Vans.

I grabbed my bag and my phone from the table besides my bed. I went downstairs to see my mom and some omegas preparing some pancakes, omelettes, toast, bacon amongst others. I was about taking one bacon strip but my mom hit my hand with the spatula in her hand she was using to turn sauce.

I pouted and sat down at the head of the dining table and grabbed a plate and stacked pancakes, omelettes and bacon on my plate. I have a very big appetite for an Alpha.

I started eating and then Mason and Jason joined me as well as some other pack members. My mom love cooking alongside the cooks for the pack, she's the coordinator of how meals are to be prepared.

"Hey Kyle, what's up" Jason said as he took the seat beside me.

" I'm doing good and you" I put omelette in my mouth.

"Doing great. So how do you feel going back to school after being away for long time" Jason enquired.

"Nothing really. I think some things would have changed by now"

"Yeah you're right" Mason said as he joined us.

"Let's just hurry up and get going so we won't be late" he continued.

"Yeah whatever" I finished eating and dropped my plates in the sink and kissed my mom good-bye.

"Take care" she called out.

"Sure. What about Colt and Marietta?" I asked.

"They've gone to school a long time ago. Your lazy ass woke up late" she said amusingly.

"Hahaha very funny" I said.

"Let's go guys" I called out as we headed towards the garage. I decided to take my Ford truck today. I picked the key from the garage, Mason entered the passenger seat while Jason sat at the back and then I drove off to school.

We arrived at school quite late not that I didn't know anyways. I checked if all the books I needed are I the bag or if I needed to go to the locker.

Thankfully they were there and off I went to History class and grunted when I remembered it's Mr Collins that's the teacher. Anyways, I headed to the class together with Mason and Jason.
