He is Trouble
|Alpha Female POV|
"Alpha!"
Her booming voice awakens me from my deep slumber by the stream over the soft bed of grass. This is my place off-limits to any wolf except Elriam, my Beta.
"Speak Elriam as to why this disturbance," I command hoisting my forearm from my eyes glimpsing at her.
"Forgive me Alpha, but Alpha Lan has arrived." She bows. "I did not want to bother you but it is a sort of urgency and you are needed. The transfer cannot begin until you go."
"I understand. Come, let us go." My wolf seeps to the front desiring to go for a run but now is not the time. I have two ill-bred males on my lands I must deal with.
"Alpha Lumina welcome, we had quite the wait." Alpha Lan states as soon as we arrive near where he stands and I can see right through him to the mockery his voice beholds.
"Hope you enjoyed it, Alpha Lan," I mutter overlooking his judging eyes as my beta grazes past me to stand steady observing him like a vulture. I peer towards some of his pack members huddled behind him not making a sound. I can smell their fear of me.
I greet them with a wicked smile licking my teeth, loving the smell of raw horror. "Bring the carts." My voice blares in its autorotative tone as my members obey immediately impelling several carts filled with a variety of fruits towards his pack.
Alpha Lan watches on happily feeling content for the successful transfer. "Where is your Luna, Alpha Lan?" I question him knowing very wellworrying about her absenabsencet.s She is presumably chained for disobedience back in his pack. Luna May's continuous defiance with this maleher alpha mate surprises me. His eyes harden often sweeping over his wolves who are now transporting the fruits held in carton boxes onto the back of their trucks.
"She was not allowed tois travel not travelling with us this time because of Herher unfeminine mischievousness angered me she is currently undergoing punishment." He utters, and we all know that his Luna is undergoing ‘“punishment’” for nonsense. The way this male abuses his female Luna without any guilt disgusts me, it leaves a vile taste in my mouth. There is a need that ignites within me. A need to kill this wolf when I obtain the opportunity.
"That is not the way one must treat a female Alpha Lan," I say mind link Elriam, holding a soft heart for Luna Mayher. My heart melts for all females.
“I do not give a damn. An Alpha femaleFemale alpha? Just a dull-witted stupid weak wolfgirl female.” He mutters Alpha Lan’s mind-link with his own pack ising accidentally exposed to me appeared in my mind ands I swiftly turn to him exposingrevealing a flash of canine, the way he intentionally spoke to me just now without calling me by my title but by my sexoffended me and ‘“accidentally’ ” made me hear his thoughts mind-link was done purely e on purpose to challenge me.
“I can see why your Luna goes against you. You do not know how to be a good male.”
“You dare to give me advice?” He roars with a keen annoyance that confines him. He loathes the fact that I a female is trying to show him his faults.
“Then why do you have a partnership of trade with me?” I ask a sinister smirk on my face. His pack cannot survive without my help and I use this to my advantage.
“I would not be trading with you if your lands did not have what I needed. I would rather perish than willingly enter a pack ruled by a female who calls herself a damn Alpha. I find your pack revolting and you despicable.” He turns to spit on my lands as my clenched fists tremble violently with a profound vengeance that settles within me. The audacity he has to show such disgrace to my wolves and my home. I have had it with him, I shall destroy him tonight I have put up with enough of his scorn.
Yet before I could plunge my claws in his throat and deprive him of life my ears perk up to the foul words of his sickening beta Jordan. “Beta Elriam you look stunning as always.” He says to my beta boldly skimming his knuckles over her cheekbone as she retreats with a nauseous appearance. She loathes him.
“Do not touch me.” She whispers recoiling from him but that male pushes forward uncaring to her open display of rejection. He has an offensive habit of harassing her.
“I wonder what lies for me to see beneath this shirt of yours. Would you mind showing me?” He asks tugging at the collar of her shirt to peek inside as she slaps his hand away low growls of wrath reverberating through her chest.
“Do not be so naughty or I will punish you like we do with our females. Tell me how do you like being chained and beaten? Does the thought of that turn you on? I would love to see you that way.”
I take a curt step forward to wage war between us my anger taking control of me but I halt in my tracks when Elriam shakes her head in objection in an attempt to stop me.
Elriam had always advised me to be patient and not get angered with this male but this is the last time I shall neglect such insolence from both Beta Jordan and Alpha Lan. Next time this occurs I shall show them who exactly is the true Alpha among us.
Dusk quickly gives birth to night and our meeting concludes well with the other pack finally leaving us in peace. But my rage seethes beneath by the severe irreverence we received from those two males. I detest seeing my Beta attacked.
"Elriam are you feeling all right?" I question her softly she must feel bothered with Beta Jordan’s harassment.
"Yes Alpha, thank you for always looking out for me. I am grateful for the constant kindness and care you show me.” She replies.
“You are the only female I trust, the only wolf who I am truly concerned about.”
“And this is why I stick close to you and make sure you do not get into trouble with different packs because you are different from the other Alphas.”
“How so?” I ask with curiosity.
“You have a beautiful heart.” She says smiling as I nod appreciatively to her sweet words.
"Forgive me I forgot to mention. The meeting of Alphas is tomorrow since you have recently become our leader you must go to this meeting. It is where all the Alphas from around the world meet to form alliances or ask security from other packs." She elaborates for my understanding.
"And why must I go to this meeting?" I question, a hint of irritation smeared over it. I do not like new places.
"It is beneficial for our pack Alpha, you need this. The pack needs this."
"Then so be it."

The next morning
“Whom does this female belong to? She possesses no seat here. This is not a place for females.” An older male wolf's authoritative and strong voice booms throughout the room, the high walls carrying the sound of his disapproval of my presence made clear the minute I stepped into the conference hall.
“I think you are mistaken for it is the place for me. I am an Alpha.” A flash of teeth from my side as my warrior spirit surges, a slow wild lick of my lower lip to taunt him, eyes glaring at the disrespectful male whilst I continue to calmly saunter to my rightful seat on the table.
Whispers and murmurs travel through the room gossips spreading like wildfire as they inspect my flesh head to toe. Their suits are neat, in many instances fine, and wherever I encountered the eye of one it is only to recognize in it a degrading and unwelcoming stare. They find me unworthy.
They shamelessly judge me with surprised, disgusted, and calculating male eyes, which makes my stomach clench with fury. The air that is brimmed to the edge with testosterone of Alpha males makes me sick right down to the pit of my core.
There is a deep familiarity with these kinds of unhesitant stares for this is my normality of life. To be met with hate, disgust, and humiliation of the soul I possess. It is not because they do not know me. They do know. They know of the battles I had won for my pack. And they certainly feel the strength I possess.
Perhaps they merely pretend to be blind and deaf, to remain oblivious to my surging power. Or perhaps, they failed to anticipate that I would officially become an Alpha and that I would be sitting here at the same table with them.
For the first time, apart from all those feelings, I sense their fear. Their fear for the first Female Alpha. The fear of being challenged by a female in armour. The noisy chatter dies into silence. No one speaks anymore to my sneers and low growls openly displayed to them. The excitement of revenge lingers in my mind.
Born to be a female alpha and to rule was not my choice, but my destiny. My childhood was not that of care, warmth, or love. Rather it was filled with fighting. Fighting to survive. Fighting just so I can see the beauty of the sun the next day. My parents put the pack before their dying pup and my brothers who would spit at my feet for being born a female. I had no one to call my own. No one to just hold me and say “It shall be all right."
The only reason as to why I was kept alive was that the healer had a vision of my future, of my reign and the prosperity I would bring to the pack. And I had been fighting for it ever since. A twisted long story of a bloody struggle and brutal killings. That is why I possess the right to be here.
I look around the table. It is quite rare to see such powerful wolves gathering together in one place. They are here for the most important global event where most of the Alphas from around the world meet to form alliances or negotiate things that matter. It is also the first time that I have chosen to take part in such a big event as an Alpha. I shied away from this knowing I would be simply adding fuel to the fire with my presence.
I plop down upon the chair next to the head of the table. It is a sign of ranking. The Alphas watch at my antics dumbfounded whilst I sit down, but they keep their mouths clenched shut. Elriam stands behind me showing her strength, looking carelessly from one Alpha to another. I smile wickedly at what my eyes witness and whisper to Elriam, “This shall be fun.”
Yes, this is going to be fun.
With agonizing slowness, the hall begins to fill up each wolf holding different expressions whilst they regard me, and for any male that gazed longer, my wolf roared and paced within disliking their open thoughts of us. Unfamiliar faces and the curiosity about the owner of the seat next to me build up my anxiety to be in crowds and among unknown wolves. I take in deep breaths and encourage myself, asking my wolf for her strength and guidance.
A male’s voice alarms us whilst his words boom across the hall to set me free from my thoughts, making my ears perk up to welcoming.
“Welcome Alphas. The meeting shall commence shortly for he is not yet here, therefore we shall begin when he arrives.”
Wolves nod in acknowledgement except for me. I do not know whom this male spoke about. Glancing to my left, I notice the seat is still empty. It waits patiently to be filled. I am unsure as to why, but abruptly my heart pounds heavily with anticipation. Something is not right. A feeling that scares me but also leaves me breathless.
“Elriam, answer me this, who is this male talking about? Is this wolf important?” I question her.
“Alpha, he is...” She perks up to my question preparing to answer me.
However, before she could finish her answer a loud slam of the main door cuts her off, startling all of us. Loud heavy footsteps near the hall, the sound of chairs screeching against the floor surge. Alphas leave their seats getting off their chairs to kneel upon the marble floor with their heads bowed.
Who is this male? What kind of power does he hold that even other Alphas bow, even before he is in their presence? These questions burn within the depths of my mind. All I smell is trouble, he is trouble.
