So far I've been here two months and the entire time I've been right by Alpha's side, no matter where he is or what he's doing I'm either standing by him, being held or sitting on his lap. There was a thing called a meeting with another man named Alpha and everyone tried their hardest to separate me from Alpha saying it was inappropriate for me to be there but he just growled at them all shutting them up. The other man Alpha thought it was funny when I was sitting on Alpha's lap through out the entire meeting but he didn't say too much about it and just focused on whatever they were talking about with serious faces. When the meeting was over I was given ice cream for being so well behaved, anytime I do as I'm told I get ice cream as a treat, Lauren always fusses at Alpha saying a pup as young as me doesn't need to be eating that kind of junk food but he doesn't listen to her and smiles while watching me dig into the yummy food.
Right now I'm in the office with Alpha. "Emma watch the video not me." He sighs as I sit on his lap while he does his daily paper work. A few weeks after I got here he gave me headphones and whenever I'm in his office with him I'm supposed to watch learning videos on a laptop, some of the things the videos teach I already know like right now it's going over shapes and colors which I learned a long time ago.
I let out a huff and cross my arms over my chest, I don't want to watch this video. Alpha sets down his pen and rubs his hands over his face something he tends to do when he's aggravated with my behavior or having a hard time explaining something to me. He takes the headphones off me and adjusts my tiny body so I'm completely facing him. "I know those videos aren't fun but you need to watch them, you're behind on learning right now and I need you to catch up with the other kids, as long as you're in the office with me you have to watch those. You agreed to that remember?" I humph at him turning my head to the side making him groan. "You won't get any ice cream after dinner if you keep acting this way and no toys." My mouth drops at the threat making him smirk, my eyes narrow at him mad that he has ways to make me listen to what he says. "Maybe Lauren was right about me spoiling you." He says to himself as he leans his head on the back of his chair.
Alpha decided to let me live in the high ranking house instead of at the orphanage or even the pack house, he gave me my own room that's pink and has every toy you can imagine but I still sleep in his room cause sometimes I get scared waking up by myself. Lauren teases him about it telling him he has unknowingly adopted a daughter, he eventually stopped denying it once he started taking notice of how he growls at anyone that comes near me or tries to playfully tease me. Everyone says he's very protective of me which I'm glad about because I have nothing to fear when I'm with him. After a month they were able to get me to play with some of the kids here but my playing with them didn't last long. Alpha was watching a few of us play in a meadow and one of the boys held my hand giving me a sweet look, seeing this Alpha growled at the boy and his brown eyes turned gold which means his would wasn't happy about it. Along with these learning videos I'm having to learn about wolf people which I now know are called werewolves and I was surprised to find out I was one too, everyone said when I'm a teenager I'll turn into a pretty wolf. I was also told that is isn't a good thing when Alpha's eyes turn gold, appearantly when someone's wolf gets upset they can accidentally hurt someone, the day when his wolf was mad about the little boy Lauren said she couldn't imagine what would happen if I got a boyfriend when I'm older.
Knock Knock
I yank my gaze off Alpha to look at the door, sniffing the air I smile cause it's Trace but the smile is replaced with a frown when I realize there's a few scents I don't know. "Come in."
At Alpha's approval the double doors open revealing Trace who is the beta and two men I've never saw before which isn't exactly uncommon considering I don't exactly leave the house so I see a lot of people come and go in the office. Alpha's eyes glare at the tall bulky guy standing in the middle while Trace shoots daggers at the man next to the one in the middle. "Sorry for the unannounced visit Alpha Tyson." The man in the middle says with a weird smile that doesn't seem to be friendly.
Alpha looks to Trace. "Call Lauren and tell her to watch Emma while I have a meeting." Trace nods and starts to turn around but is stopped by the middle man's words.
"It's quite all right Alpha Tyson, as a matter of fact I wanted to speak with you about the little girl." Alpha's hands tighten on me as his body becomes rigid, looking up into his eyes I see gold quickly flash through them, seeing this I become wary of the strange man, Alpha's eyes don't turn gold very often. "Also I've been told the girl is used to being in the room with you during meetings so there's no need for her to leave on my account." He then struts confidently into the room like it's his own office with the other man right by his side. Trace shuts the doors and rushes to Alpha's side like he's supposed to. The two unknown men sit down in the chairs across from the desk.
"What is it you want Marcus?" Alpha grits out as he continues glaring at the man I now know is named Marcus.
Marcus wears a wicked grin. "Well it's been all over the werewolf world about the little girl you found and have practically adopted. For an alpha to keep a pup by their side constantly means their wolf has claimed them as their own which is very rare for an alpha. So I was surprised hearing you recognize this pup as your daughter." Alpha puts my headphones back on my head and turns me so I'm facing the laptop again something he's never done before when people are in the office, usually he doesn't care if I listen because I never know what they are saying cause they use big words, but for some reason it seems he doesn't want me to know what they are going to talk about. Luckily Luke has been teaching me how to properly use my senses so I try to block out the noise from the headphones and tune into what is being said around me.
"I don't see why that is any of you business." Alpha grits out through clenched teeth.
Marcus chuckles. "The child of an alpha is everybody's business."
"Get to the point."
"You're attitude towards me sure hasn't changed over the years, when you were little you called me uncle and wanted to be by my side whenever I came to visit." Marcus fake sighs making me narrow my eyes at him. "Since you seem to not want me here I guess I'll have to get straight to the point." He sits up in his seat leaning forward a little bit with a twinkle in his eye. "I would like to propose an arranged mating between your daughter and my eldest son."
Alpha growls and squeezes me painfully tight to his chest. "She's the runt of the pack." He lies, I learned runts are the smallest and weakest wolves and I'm supposed to be a really strong wolf so I know I'm not a runt.
Marcus laughs and waves a hand dismissively. "That doesn't matter, what matters is she is of high ranking since you claim her."
I feel Alpha's chest rumble as he growls. "She is only three years old!"
"It's not like the mating will happen now, it would be when both our children are of age, it's a good deal, she'll be a Luna keeping a high rank and their union would be great for an alliance between our packs."
"What about their mates?" Alpha grits outs, I feel his claws starting to come out as they lightly graze my stomach meaning Alpha is beyond mad.
"If she is indeed a runt most likely she'll have a normal mate and no longer be living the nice life she has now with the high ranking members, at most she'd be mated to a warrior and I'm sure you want your little princess to have the lavish life she deserves."
Removing one arm from my waist, Alpha grips onto the edge of his desk, my eyes widen as the wood splinters. "f**k you! It doesn't matter who her true mate is, she'll be much happier with them than she ever would be if she was forced to be with another and arranged matings are disgusting to me, it's the same as selling your pup off!" Alpha shouts.
Marcus snorts. "You don't have a mate so you can't say that you know she'll be happier with her true mate, she could be just as happy with a chosen one."
Alpha growls. "There will never ever be an arranged mating with you or anyone else! She will have the freedom to choose for herself when she's older."
Marcus reaches across the desk and rips my headphones off making me start trembling in fear of the possibility that he would hurt me, automatically I clutch onto Alpha's shirt. "Did you hear that little girl? Your daddy doesn't want you to have a good life when your older, he wants you to suffer the same life you had before he found you." In an instant Trace is pulling me of Alpha's lap, once I'm off his lap Alpha stands up letting out a roar so loud the house shakes and the windows crack. His clawed hands slam down on his desk easily breaking it to pieces. My hands fly to my ears trying to block out the loud noises Alpha is making, Trace is doing his best to keep me calm by rubbing up and down my back.
With twinkling eyes Marcus chuckles at Alpha's outburst. "I must admit it's shocking to see you get all worked up over a dirty little girl that was living like a wild animal. As matter of fact I believe someone said she was actually living with a wild animal." He mocks.
"Get out and don't ever come back here or come anywhere near Emma, by law if you come onto my territory without my permisson I can kill you and I won't hesitate to do it if I see your disgusting face here again!" Alpha's teeth start to elongate as fur starts sprouting, his wolf fighting to come out.
Seeing how enraged Alpha is Marcus and the other man get up out of the chairs and bolt out of the office as fast as they could go in fear for there lives leaving Trace and I alone with an out of control wolf. I've heard a few tales of how bad it is when Alpha gets mad, it takes a lot to provoke him and once he's provoked he's dangerous. I shake as I watch wide eyed as Alpha knocks the book cases to the floor and smashes them til they look like wood chips, his office chair is his next victim as he throws it out the window making shattered glass rain down on him. Lauren and Luke once told me that when Alpha gets mad sometimes he'll lose control and destroy everything around him, they told me to not be afraid when he does that because he would never hurt me but seeing it is completely different than I imagined it. When a book hits the wall a few feet away from Trace and I the fear I'm holding back comes out, I start hysterically crying. Alpha will occasionally scare me with the things he does like growling at me but this is absolutely terrifying. The sounds of objects being smashed is drowned out by my ear piercing wails, keeping my ears covered with my hands I bury my face into Trace's chest so I can't see the destruction going on around me.
Then I cry out my first word since my arrival here. "DADDY!" The word flies out of my mouth, everything immediately becomes silent, there's no more crashing or the noise of splintering wood, only complete silence aside from my screaming sobs.
Warm clawed hands gently grab my waist, Trace tenses a little as he reluctantly loosens his grip on me. The hands turn me around and hold me up in the air, peeking my eyes open Alpha is right in front of me with his normal brown eyes and his claws slowly retracting, the spots of sprouted fur are disappearing. "D-did you j-just ca-call me daddy?" He stutters out with wide hopeful eyes. My cries stop as I stare into his eyes that hold so much love for me, Alpha patiently waits on my answer whatever anger he had has vanished. Finally taking my hands off my ears I reach them out and place them on each side of his face, pulling myself closer to him I give him a kiss on the forehead like he does to me and when I pull away I grin at him while giving him a nod. Daddy starts shedding tears of pure joy as he begins happily laughing and spinning the both of us around in circles. "I'm officially a father!" He yells loud enough that the whole pack probably heard, I giggle at his enthusiasm.
Once dad starts to notice how dizzy I'm getting he starts slowing down til he gently stops the spinning. "We are going to celebrate! Today you finally said a word after two months and it was daddy! Also you just admitted that you see me as your father, so to celebrate today I'll throw the biggest party and invite the entire pack and tell them the good news!" He exclaims with the biggest grin I've ever saw and twinkling eyes, even though I'm terrified of meeting the pack I'll try not to be scared so he can enjoy a party he is now determined to have.
