The Alpha Queen

Chapter 1

"Mak! Come on! You need to get ready before Mom has our necks!" I roll my eyes at my twin sister Ellie. 

Looking back into the mirror, I finish lining my eyes. I see Ellie's face looking back at me, but with my bright red curls and grey eyes. 

Ellie is about 5 inches shorter then me, blonde hair and blue eyes. She is a true Omega, that means she is a wolf who has an energy about her that other wolves want to protect. She can also release a calming smell when near by wolves are getting worked up or anxious. Just like Mom. She and her wolf Anna, are one of the most beautiful wolves I have ever seen. They are a light grey, with black ears and tail and her piercing blue eyes.

I on the other hand, am full on Alpha. Like Dad, I am stubborn and a hot head. I have been training to become one of the only female Alphas in North America. I am just as strong as any male Alpha, but twice as fast. My wolf Ava has a black face that gradually fades to grey on our body, to white hind legs and tail. Dad always tells me I have a very strong Alpha energy about me. I have learned to suppress it over the years. I have even gotten to the point during our competitions with our allies to learn how to lose. It could be dangerous if anyone found out about me being an Alpha. Most males would want to trap me for themselves to mate. Make the strongest pups possible. 

Ellie and I have a unique connection with our wolves. They are twins as well, meaning they can communicate with each other, something normally reserved for mated wolves. This is extremely rare. 

"Relax Ellie, I am almost ready. I just need to pick an outfit." I say, not knowing what a future alpha should wear on their seventeenth birthday celebration. 

"Good thing I already picked something for you." She comes in wearing a baby blue sundress with embroidered white flowers all over it. She is wearing brown gladiator sandals to complete the look. Ellie is holding an identical dress, but it is pale yellow instead of blue. 

God I love my sister. 

"It is perfect! You know me so well!" I give her a hug lifting her up. 

'MaKenna, something is not right. I have a terrible feeling' Ava tells me, I can feel her agitation. 

"MaKenna, Ellie, get out of here! Run! Rogues!" I hear Dad's yell through our family bond. 

Without second thought, I take Ellie's hand and outside. We look around, there are wolves everywhere, some from our pack and some rogues. 

I see Mom and Dad fighting as a team. It is mesmerizing to watch them work together to take down rogue after rogue. Out of nowhere, I see this big, mangy black wolf who must be the rogue packs alpha start running towards my parents. 

"Ellie you need to go, if they scent you as a true omega they will take you. I need to help them fight right now." I tell her, because it is true. A true Omega is almost as rare as a female Alpha. I at least am able to train, most wolves won't even let Ellie train with them, because their wolves want to protect her. 

I run to help our parents, the black wolf is almost to my parents now. He leaps at my mother, knocking her on her side. In a blink of an eye he sinks his canines into her throat and rips. My knees go weak as I see the fight drain out of her. I lose control. Ava pushes her way to the surface. I refocus on the black wolf as soon as I fully shift. Dad is struggling to pay attention to anything other than Mom's lifeless body. The black wolf is circling him. I start running towards them, fighting any wolf that gets in my way. Killing every rogue that tries to come at me without a second thought. 

Dad finally sees him, the black wolf snarling at him, trying to insight fear and enjoying the pain on my fathers face after losing his true mate. I watch in horror as my father sloppily tries to fight him, the pain he is in still playing as a handicap to him. The black wolf is larger then my father, but my father is fast. I watch as they take swipes at each other with razor sharp claws. My father gets one across the wolfs eye, leaving a dangling mess of flesh, fur, and blood down his face. The wolf shrinks back and growls in pain, but without warning he slashes my father's side. Deep enough I can see bits of intestines coming out. 

Dad staggers, locking eyes with me. 

"I am sorry honey, I love you so very much. You are a strong Alpha, I have no doubt you will have a pack kneeling in front of you one day. You need to run with Ellie and get to Diamond Pack territory." he says through the mind link. 

'Dad, I love you too.' I say, feeling tears run down my face. 

The black wolf launches himself at my father, finishing him. Making me see nothing but this wolf and red. I tackle him off of my father's body, pinning his snout to the ground. I flex my claws digging them into his face. i feel his body fighting to get out from under me, but I am not giving him a chance. Just like he didn't give my mother one. I sink my canines deep into his throat, tasting his coppery blood. Without hesitation I rip his throat out. Spraying his blood across my face. 

Once the life left his body, I take off towards the rest of the fight. Killing every rogue on our land until there was none left. Not coming home until there was not a single one left on Silver Moon Pack territory. 

I wake up in a cold sweat, I hate having that dream. It will be a year since the attack in about a month from now. Meaning I will be turning 18 in about a month as well. Great. That means I will publicly take over the Silver Moon Pack. The Royal Council has made it a law you must be 18 years old to take over as Alpha. Don't get me wrong, I am the Alpha to my pack, our allies just don't know it yet. They think David, my father's Beta, is still running the pack until a suitable Alpha emerges from the warriors. Little do they know, I am the only one my people are accepting. Once I got back to the pack house, those who fought were waiting to swear their allegiance to me, the only female Alpha in North America. 

Looking at my phone, 5:37 AM, I guess it is never too early to start the day. I get out of bed and stretch my legs, I head to get changed into my workout gear. Rushing out the door I run face first into a wall. 

"Hey! What the fuc-" I start to say rubbing my chin as I look down at the person I just ran into leaving my room.

"Now Mak, that is no way to welcome your favorite sister home." Ellie says smiling up at me from the floor.

I reach down and pull her to her feet and into a hug. God I missed my twin. 

Ever since I became the unofficial, official Alpha, Ellie has become my ambassador to our allied packs. She goes around ensuring our alliances are still good, until we make the announcement. I see she is in training gear as well, ever since that day she has been training, so she is never helpless again. I have been working with her to suppress her Omega energy and using my alpha voice to make sure my warriors go all out with her. 

"Ellie! Why are you home so soon? Is everything okay with the Diamond Moon Pack?" I ask, knowing she wasn't supposed to be back for two more days. 

She gives me the biggest cheshire grin. 

"Yes and no my dear sister, I think it is time we introduce you as our Alpha. I know it is early, but our allies are getting worrisome about us. They feel David is not strong enough, and we are taking too long to find a suitable Alpha. I know it is early, but it is time." She says. 

"Alright, lets make a plan." I say leading her to my office. 

"Also, I found my mate." She says to me, looking a bit nervous to tell me. 

Shit, there goes my best friend.
