Chapter 2

No way!! Rory is mean and he doesnt have a leadership quality, how would he lead the pack? I asked myself. Not knowing I said it out loud.

Skai heard me. She was my friend who was human but knew I was a werewolf. She was sitting right next to me. We had just finished high school as at that time. She had been my best friend since kindergarten, and she had all my secrets safe. But I had never shifted in front of her.

Why would Rory be the Alpha She asked curiously. Well, she didnt know exactly how the pack ran.

Well, the late alpha is his father, so it like a generational things

Ohhh. I get it she replied How did the alpha die again please she asked

I gave a stern look, I had told her that a million times.

Sorry, I always tend to forget She said smiling

He was shot with a silver bullet when he went to the city of MoonVille, a city the werewolved dwelled before

Yeah, youve told me that before. I dont even like Rory, he wasnt nice to me the last time I came over

I scoffed Hes never nice, my dear

There was silence then because Skai and I were working on our laptops. Just then, she turned to me like something had just dawned on her.

Alaya, I think you can be an alpha She said to me

I arched my brow and I hissed at her and continued with what I was doing

Alaya, I mean it. Youve always wanted to be an alpha, remember?

Yeah and so?

You can be Alpha. You could work that out now

I stopped fingering my laptop and looked at her like I just found a missing puzzle. Then I said I dont know how to get there now.”

So, youre trying to tell me that there is no way another person can succeed the alpha she said

I rolled my eyes and replied Well, it is unheard of in my pack but to succeed an alpha, youve got to prove that you’re stronger and better than him. That would be through a fight

Oh A fight? Damn. I wouldnt advise you fight him, Rory is way older than you, he might be stroinger too. And, you might get a lot of hates for wanting to challenge him, for no reason

I sighed and said thank goodness you finally understand. Now, can we check our admission status for college?

We were going to start college soon, I was going to clock eighteen soon too. I was praying within me that Skai and I gets admission to the same college. And yeah!! We did. Howard University was not gonna contain us both, we were so happy.

While preparing for college, I was still hoping that I could lead the pack one day. Everyday, I kept wondering how the pack would be in the next three years because I knew Rory wouldnt be a good leader like his father. I know how much I aspired to be an Alpha but I was scared it would never be possible and I knew Ill be a better Alpha than Rory would ever be.

I was also scared because I was going to be eighteen very soon and I might find my mate. Most of the werewolves didnt go to college but I really wanted to go. I wanted to do everything that is in life to do. I didnt want a mate yet, I kept praying to the moon goddess.

One fateful night, after I had shifted to my wolf form, I went to the woods where I loved to be alone. I wanted to think about my life and how Ill be in college. I wanted to be away from the rest of the wolves that night because it hurt me everyday to see Rory do whatever he likes in the pack and not caring how the werewolves survived. I also wanted to think about my life when I clocked eighteen in two days time, and how much I didnt want a mate yet.

Jules, Rorys Luna came up to the woods. Jules never liked me, especially my wolf. She felt like I was so different from every other person. She says she keeps wondering why my wolf was so white.

But in all, Jules was a beautiful girl. She was a blonde and she had beautiful green eyes just like that of Rory. I always believed that the moon goddess made her specially for Rory.

Alaya Jules called to me, Leave she said to me with no atom of respect.

I was younger than her, that was true but even elderlies talked to the younger ones with a little respect. I wasnt going to leave anyways, that has always been my spot.

I shifted back to human form and replied Im sorry Jules, but I cant leave. This is my spot.”

Are you crazy? She asked authoritatively

That is a rhetorical question I replied

Just as we were talking, Rory came up to the woods. Whats going on here? He asked. There was no reply

Alaya, whats going on here? He asked authoritatively.

When he came there, he didnt see just me, he saw his Luna and I but I was the only person he was acting authority on, so pissing.

This is my spot, it has always been. I come here every time I want to get myself together. Jules came here today and asked me to leave and I told her that I cant. Yeah, thats exactly whats going on I replied

Alaya, leave. Jules and I want some time here Rory said to me

I looked at him in great shock. I knew he never liked me and he had always picked on me since I was a little girl but I didnt know it would come to this. All the other werewolves knew this was my spot and the late alpha, his father would let me be there anytime I wanted to be alone.

Please Rory, Im going through a phase right now and you know that this has always been my place, so please let me be

Girl, dont force me to hit you, get out. Rory and I need some time here Jules said to me

Oh Please Jules. Get a room, you two

Alaya Rory yelled my name with anger

I was undeterred, I stood there facing him and I knew I was going no way. If they really needed a couple time, I guessed they should have stayed back home, if thats what they really meant by sometime.

Your dad, the alpha respected my spot, so please do, thats the one thing im asking of you I said calmly

Thats my dad, Im the new Alpha, so leave He said

The new Alpha? do you even know what an Alpha does? Let me tell you, An alpha puts the needs of his people first, he is always concerned with the matters of everyone in his pack, he and his luna I turned around facing Jules makes sure the pack is safe and a happy home for everyone. An Alpha.

Shut that thing you call a mouth before I shut it for you Jules thundered back Youre barely a werewolf, youre halfblood remember. What do you know? Youre probably as useless as the other half-bloods

I was fuming in rage. I shifted immediately to my wolf, my beautiful wolf. I was filled with rage, I howled so hard that any other wolf would tell that my howl was of rage.
