"Are you saying a vampire killed them?" I asked James.
"I'm not sure, but the blood and the wolfsbane, they know how poisonous it is to us." He said. "Don't worry about that Zoe, we'll find out who it is. The pack demands an answer. You shall address them tomorrow." He said.
Suddenly something that had happened in the morning hit my head. "James. Today, when I turned into a wolf, i- I saw my eyes were red."
He nodded. "I saw them last night. You are the heir, so the next Alpha is you. You are in charge of the pack now."
"Me? But how can I run a pack? I'm just 18." I said.
"Zoe. You can do this, the Alpha blood runs in your family. You must continue and make your family proud. And I am you ever serving beta. I'll help you, don't worry." He said.
"S-so tomorrow I have to tell the whole pack? That- I'm the Alpha?" I asked.
"Yes Zoe. This pack belongs to you now, and we have to avenge your parents death, we'll make this pack stronger and faster than any other pack and we will kill those blood sucking creatures." He said with his hands balled into a fist.
"You should go home and get some rest. I'll send Alice tomorrow." He said keeping a hand on my shoulder.
I drove back home, it was quite late. I couldn't bring myself to sleep. How could I? My parents were gone, killed by vampires, I was the Alpha, and my head was filled with confusion. I sat on the bed thinking what should I do? What will I do? Will I be able to become an Alpha like my parents were or will they just banish me? Different thoughts kept filtering my brain. How will I explain everything to my 15 year old sister? It would be better to not tell her everything.
My brain wasn't settling down. Soon the sun's rays reached my room. I didn't sleep all night. I looked at the clock at 5am. I walked out of my room and walked in the kitchen to eat. I grabbed an apple and drank some water. The clock kept ticking. I went to my parents' room. It seemed dark and lifeless. I ran my hand over the table where dad kept his laptop. Some good memories flooded my brain. But soon enough I was interrupted by a door bell. My senses came back to me. Suddenly it hit me that I had to pick Aubrey. I looked at the clock. 8am. I opened the door revealing a beautiful girl with long blonde hair. Alice. James's mate.
"Alpha." She bowed.
"Just Zoe." I told her and gestured to her to come in.
"There was an announcement made in the whole pack today about the ceremony. About Their New Alpha. The ceremony begins at 10 am. James sent me to get you ready for the event." She said,
"Okay." I mumbled.
She came over and hugged me tight. "Everything will be okay."
I smiled at her.
"Okay." She clapped her hands. "You'll be needing a formal dress."
I led her to my mom's closet and she picked out a short , black dress. Simple and elegant.
"This is perfect." Here she handed it to me.
I kept the dress on my bed and grabbed my car keys.
"I need to pick up Aubrey. I'll be back in 5." I said and closed the door behind me. I drove to Lucy's place and rang the doorbell. Lucy's father , Mr Aron, opened the door."Ah, Zoe, nice to see you here." He said. " My condolences are with you."
"Zoe!" I heard Aubrey's voice behind Mr Aron.
She hugged me tight. "Thank you Mr Aron." I said smiling.
"It's alright Zoe. Take care." He said.
Aubrey waved at Lucy and we both made our way to the car. She sat on the passenger seat while gripping her backpack.
"Did you get sleep? " I asked her.
She nodded. And looked up at me. "did you?" She asked.
"Yeah." I lied as I drove back home.
We came back home and Alice greeted us. Aubrey was happy to see her. I quickly went upstairs and brushed my teeth and had a cold shower. I let my hair dry while I wore my mom's dress. It fit perfectly. I thought it would be a little loose but it wasn't. I grabbed black ankle boots and headed downstairs.
Alice came towards me. "You look beautiful. "
"Where's Aubrey?" I asked.
"I told her to change too. She needs to accompany you." She said,
The wooden door clicked open and Aubrey came down in a light blue dress matching her blue eyes that belonged to mom. She had inherited blue eyes, while I had inherited brown from dad. She looked at me and Alice. I came on my knees to be face to face with her.
"You look beautiful." I told her pushing her stray piece hair behind her ear.She smiled. I hugged her tight.
The doorbell rang and Alice opened the door. It was James.
"Ready to go?" He asked Alice. Alice nodded. I grabbed Aubrey's hand and we walked out of the door into the car.
The car ride was silent, soon we reached. A stage and a podium was set up. Loads of people had gathered. I felt nervous. I didn't know what to say. The car stopped and we walked up to the stage. James switched on the podium mic.
"I know, you have questions. Today all of them will be answered. First of all, our Alpha and Luna are no more."
The whole crowd gasped.
"There was an accident. A very brutal accident. Secondly our pack's new Alpha is their elder daughter. Zoanne Allen. " He looked at me and gestured to me to step forward.
I came closer to the mic.
"I- I" I took a deep breath. Breathe Zoe, breathe. My mom's voice ringed in my ear. "I am Zoanne Allen, the new Alpha of the bluemoon pack, and I ... I promise to faithfully guide the pack, and make it one of the best packs." The whole crowd was looking at me. Next second the whole crowd bowed."CHEERS FOR THE NEW Alpha!" One of the people shouted from the crowd.
"HIP HIP HURRAH!" Another one shouted.
I smiled at them.
"Thank you. For accepting me."I walked back towards Aubrey.
James talked to the crowd for a few minutes and then we went back to our car.A few months later.
"Here's the invitation." James handed it to me.
I opened the small envelope.
To
The AlphaBluemoon packMS Allen this is a request to invite you to the mating ceremony, since you just turned eighteen, it would be great if you could grace the occasion and find yourself a mate.
Timings: 8:30 pm onwardsClothing: FormalI crumbled the invitation and threw it in the bin.
"Not attending?" James asked.
"Nope, I have loads of work to do. " I answered as I resumed my work. I didn't want a mate, I was the Alpha of my pack, I had better things to do.
THREE YEARS LATER. "So you're saying there's a coven of vampires in the south?" I asked James over the phone. "Yeah, we'll look like an abandoned house , but I'm sure they live here." He said "I followed their scent." "Okay, come back, you shouldn't go there unprotected." I said and hung up the phone. The door to my room clicked open, I looked at the clock ,4am. I knew who it was, without turning I said "Go back to sleep Aubrey, it's a special day for you tomorrow." "Well, will you come?" She asked. "No. Now go back to sleep." I said, finally turning around and looking at her. "Please Zoe, what if you won't see me after tomorrow?" She asked. I sighed. "Fine." and with that she went back to her room. ----------------- I woke up with a start, the nightmare still haunting me. It was around 8 am, I quickly brushed my teeth and had a bath. I quickly wore jeans and a sweater with some sneakers. I went down to see Aubrey cooking breakfast.She sat down next to me, she was usually th
"What?" I was surprised. He said nothing but stared at my face. "Alpha!" One guy came running. "There's a problem, Kevin called." He said handing out a phone. He walked to grab the phone and I made my way to the car. "Quick Johnson, let's leave." I said. In a few minutes we were at my house. I quickly went inside and locked the door. I can't be his mate. I don't have a mate. I sighed. I had other problems on my list. I quickly changed back to the clothes I was wearing earlier. I quickly wore sneakers and as soon as I picked up my phone to call James, Ashley the security head called. "Hello, a-Alpha?" She asked if her voice was trembling. "What's wrong Ashley?" I asked "T-there was a security breach, t-two of the guards have been killed." She started crying. "Okay, okay Ashley don't cry, are you alright?" I asked. "Y-yes I couldn't see t-them they were too f-fast." She said and then suddenly she gasped. "Ashley! Ashley? Are you okay!?" I almost screamed into the phone. "Alp
Continuation of James P.O.V Zoe was lying unconscious, we were in Alpha stone's mansion. Marie was treating Zoe. Alpha stone's face was grim, his eyes didn't move away from her face. "Will she be okay?" Alpha stone asked. Marie didn't say anything, she grabbed a scalpel and dragged it along Zoe's wrist. Dark blood oozed out, and the cut wasn't healing. "The wolfsbane is in her blood, I will try and bring it out, if it comes out she'll be fine, though she will be weak for a long time." She said, grabbing some herbs and mixing them in a glass bowl. She crushed the herbs and added a red liquid which was in a vial. She then grabbed Zoe's arm and opened the cut, she looked at Alpha stone. "I need you to hold her arm, I need to pour this in her cut." Alpha stone gently grabbed Zoe's arm, he looked up shocked. "She's so cold." He whispered. "She'll be okay right?" Aubrey asked with tears in her eyes. Marie poured the liquid into Zoe's cut. After a few seconds the cut started to sl
(Dream) I was standing on the edge of a mountain, I took a tiny step forward and looked down, nothing but blackness. "Zoe." I heard my mother from behind, I turned around to see her smiling face ,with dad standing next to her. "Mom." I took a step to touch her, but my hand just went through. Same thing happened with dad. I got scared. "Aren't you going to come with us?" My dad asked. "B-but what about Aubrey?" As soon as I said Aubrey appeared behind my mom. She extended her hand as if to try to hold me, I raised my arm, and to my horror it went through again. "Wh- what is happening?" I was scared. "Come, with us." Aubrey's eyes suddenly went pitch black and her blood stained fangs appeared, she growled at me. "You're not Aubrey, none of you are my parents." I said pointing at them , who were too ,like Aubrey hissing at me. "You're right. But too late Zoe." She laughed and pushed me off the edge. (Dream ends.) Zoe's P.O.V I gasped as I begged for air to fill my lungs, my e
"Take me to him." He said and got into his car. I got in as well. Christopher drove ahead of us and we were behind. Tyler's hands were clutching the steering wheel tight, his jaw was clenched. Soon we reached a familiar place, the pack hospital. We rushed to where Tyler's beta was kept. We reached the room and he was covered in white sheet only his face was revealed. His face had cuts and scratches. "He was poisoned. Like you were." Alex said, looking at me. "But, They slashed his body in half." He said "Was it them?" Tyler asked with no emotion in his voice. "The vampires? Yes." He replied and went out. Christopher followed him out, leaving Tyler and I alone, with his beta. "What was his name?" I whispered. "Kevin." He said after a few seconds. I looked at his cuts on his face, his blonde hair lifeless, his face paler than ever. The cuts, they looked too deep. I couldn't stand it any longer, the images of my parents like this flashed in my mind, I headed out of the door and
Tyler sat down next to me as I waited for James to continue. "Zoe, you and Aubrey were born in one of the most powerful Werewolf families, your father was the biggest Alpha and so was your mother the greatest Luna. The blood runs in your family. Vampires and other supernatural creatures had a certain respect for the Alpha and Luna. But since they were killed, the power transferred to you. I don't know why he is killing our kind. It's clear he wants you, but it's for power, nothing else." "But. There are so many other powerful Alpha's around! Why me? Why my parents?" I almost shouted. "It's also because your mother killed one of their kind." He said softly. "What?!" I was astonished. He nodded. "I should have told you this earlier, but I didn't know it would come to this." "No, James, tell me why did mom kill a vampire?" I asked. "A werewolf had fallen in love with a vampire. And you know it's against the law, so she killed them, both." He said. "And so they formed a treaty that
"It's so stupid of you to find a human, and ask her to help you." He said as he came face to face with me, his face looked weaker than before. I glared at him. "You know, her death is all your fault. You just got scared of me, and called a vampire hunter?" He laughed. "You just can't handle the responsibilities of an Alpha can you?" He said. "How did you know about her?" I asked. "Oh honey, I also know you can't change into a wolf." He said, smirking. "Who's helping you?" I asked through gritted teeth. "You really think I would tell you that? But I'll give you a hint for the sake of your stupidity , It's someone you trust dearly." He said, making a sad face. "Is it James?" He questioned as he moved towards Katherine. "Don't touch her!" I shouted. "Oh I don't touch filthy things, I only came here to take this." He said lifting up a vial with black liquid in it. "See you soon." He smiled as he vanished. I sighed. Someone was helping him. Someone I trust? Of Course it's not Ja
"What?" Tyler asked, his eyes wide opened. Ugh. "Just do it. It'll take two seconds!" I said impatiently. "Zoe, I can't-" he started but I cut him off. "Oh for god's sake." With that I punched him hard. His eyes glowed red, but changed back to normal brown. "Tyler, you need to punch me! I need to change into my wolf!" I said taking a step towards him. He still didn't budge. "Really?" With that I punched and kicked him, which sent him flying backwards and hitting a tree. And that worked. His eyes glowed back to red. He charged at me with a fist , which cut my bottom lip, he then sent a kick in my stomach which made me fall on the damp grass. His eyes changed back. "Zoe, I'm-" he started to walk towards me. "No don’t!" I shouted back. I had to turn. Tyler took a step backwards. I got up and charged at him, hitting him again in the stomach. I was ready to punch him when he grabbed my fist and twisted it, and pushed me backwards. Anger was boiling in me. I wasn't weak. I charged
