Snow Alpha

Chapter 2

The blue eyes that stare back at me are icy and cold, but make me feel safe. I gently swim over to the rocks that surround the lake and wait for him to rise to the surface, after what feels like an eternity the blonde mop of hair rises from the water. Almost as if he teased me with the slowness of his actions.

His blonde hair sticking to his head, his face dripping with water but still looking as charming as ever. His blue eyes lock with mine as he moves in closer to me, our body heat overpowering the coolness of the water. His hand gently touches the cheek that I was on hit on in my unpleasant dream earlier, this causes me to flinch back - I see hurt flicker in his eyes but I know that shows that he feels for me - rather than being hurt at my reaction towards him.

He wraps his muscular arms round my waist and pulls me closer and I let my head rest on his toned chest - listening to the beat of his heart. I sigh and wrap my arms round him and rub my hands up and down his back leisurely, not minding that we are both naked. Most werewolves once they shift stop being conscious of their bodies, being naked is a natural thing in our world. Especially with the amount of times we shift with others around us.

He looks down at me, those blue eyes searching for an answer to his unspoken answer. When he sees my unchanging and emotionless eyes he raises his sculpted eyebrow and waits for answer.

"It was just the usual B, just I woke up more agitated. Nothing to worry about." I said truthfully to Blake.

"If you say so Del, how about we head back for breakfast?" He responds, showing his worry but not wanting to push.

I push him back from me and climb the rocks - swaying my bare butt, I then get back to the ground and lean on a tree, enjoying his dazed state with his lust for me very obvious and then say -

"Race you back to the house, winner choses the punishment." I wink and smirk at him before sprinting off and shifting into my wolf with ease, I quickly look back to see his blonde coloured wolf gaining on me.

I push more, everyone in the pack knows that we are the quickest runners - with me being the Alpha and him the Beta we are also two of the strongest in the pack. I feel his teeth nipping on my hind legs in a playful manner, this warns me I need to hurry up. Soon enough, I see my house standing in all its glory. The sun shines down on the north face of it, emphasising the architectural details and the vibrant red roses hanging round my ground floor windows - giving the house some colour. The bright red contrasting with the white house and white forestry that encloses it, the shutters to the windows are the same type of red. I chose the way I wanted my house when I moved here and this is how I like it.

The nipping on my hind legs grows as I get distracted by the beauty of my home, Blake's presence is so close that he jumps on my back - sending us both tumbling over. I find myself in a precarious position with Blake's wolf on top of mine, his blue eyes looking me up and down with mischief and playfulness. He rubs his nose along my throat, making sure to lick some parts. Guttural and desperate growls are released both from mine and Blake's mouth. Our want for each other skyrocketing by the second.

Wait a minute, I have him so distracted that I could make it to the house. I push him off with my hind legs before anything goes any further and start sprinting to my house. Once I'm there, I shift back round to see Blake sitting there still realising what just happened - he looks at me and walks towards me in a predatory way. Taking his sweet home, he pounces at me but I just move aside using my agility and then stroke his fur lovingly. At first he growls annoyed, he doesn't like being pet but now he is softly growling in pleasure - from my hands playing with his fur.

Finally, he shifts and goes inside. Whilst he does this I pick up my red nightie from earlier and Blake already has sweats on by the time I'm inside. I start to cook pancakes while Blake sits at the island and waits for me to serve him, he always loves me up at meal times as he doesn't want to risk going without food.

We spend the rest of the day watching TV and messing around with one another, our playful relationship showing through our childish actions. Its ten o’clock when Blake leaves for his house, I wave goodbye to him as he walks leisurely down my drive and in the direction of his house. Myself shuddering at the cold air invading my warm house, from the open door, and causing goosebumps to appear on my pale arms.

I go straight to my comfy bed, the constant yawning indicating I should; as soon as my head hits the soft pillow, I’m gone. Soon enough, as it feels like I’ve barely been asleep, I'm awoken by the incessant beeping of my irritating alarm clock. The bright, equally maddening, sun shinning into my room and causing me to squint and groan slightly, me wanting to dive back into my bedsheets and return to my placid slumber.

As an Alpha - leader of a pack you have many duties. Most fun, some not. The one that I'm doing now, doesn’t count as fun. At present, it’s nearing eight thirty a.m. and I’m lethargically getting ready for a pack meeting. Now, I'm sitting in a weekly meeting regarding issues, small and big. I have Beta Blake and Delta James(third in command) in this meeting discussing with me the problems with my territory, I have Head Warrior Ella telling me the issues with fighting equipment. Lastly, I have Head Scientist Anna telling me the progress in which all aspects are coming along. Everyone explains their ideas and problems with their section, some piping up to help with each other's situation. Whilst they are all debating how to solve certain things, I process all their requests and make plans.

"Quiet." I say quietly but everyone still silenced themselves and all look at me expectantly.

"Beta and Delta you will make sure enough rounds are being dealt with, we are to be dealing with no rogues or trespassers. If they do manage to get into our land or are requesting to see me, you place them in the prison and contact me. If more men need to be doing watch, then we will inform them. For now, leave and write down a list of needs and I will deal with them. Understood? Great."

My authority when it comes to pack issues is never to be questioned, I think of them before anyone else. My attention now focuses on Ella - our Head Warrior.

"You will train everyone, men and women will do equal hours - split the trainers up and send me the schedule and I can inform everyone. Everybody above the age of 15 will also be expected to do at least 3 hours of training, understood? Weapons, again you will write a list of necessities and I will get them for you. You may leave."

In my pack, women and men are treated equally at all ages - none of this women are meant for cooking malarkey. I also like to have my pack all ready in case of any attack. Now Anna - the Head Scientist has my attention. The science department in my pack is extraordinary compared to most, if others even have their own.

"Anna, again, all the resources you need just write a list and drop them in my office and I will try my best to get them all to you. I hope all the testing is coming along well, the clothes that we have been working on are doing well. Now you can leave as well, thank you for your time."

Like all the others did, Anna bows her head before she leaves silently. My pack aren't afraid of me like some Alphas are to their packs, that is unhealthy. My pack members are very disciplined and know where they all stand but can also come to me without being afraid. I love my pack dearly, if anything happens to them - then someone definitely should be afraid of me.

Now, I'm sitting at my desk with the letters as requested informing me what new kit I needed in different aspects of pack life. My pack members all have jobs, they can do whatever takes their fancy as long as it's to a good standard. My pack is situated in the Northern Mountains, we have many different aged people; babies, children, teens, adults and elderly. The orphaned pups and elderly live in the pack house so they can have help around 24/7 if anything were to happen. Once you turn 16 as an orphan you then move into a house with other kids or adults, families live in their own houses - all leading into the forest. Those types of houses are near others, however the Alpha, Beta, Delta and Heads of topics all have big, secluded houses. We have many facilities; pack house, a massive kitchen, houses for all families (these are placed around the territory), gym and training fields and building, science labs, hospital, school and nursery, restaurants, clubs etc.

My pack consists of 700 people and counting, many werewolves that already lived on these lands joined my pack when we claimed this as ours. Rogues and banished people ask to be a part of our pack, I only allow if they are trusty. What surprised me when the pack grew and got a reputation was that many other werewolves left their packs for mine - they preferred the sound of mine or could've heard rumours. I've heard rumours from the people that join is that when someone comes to our land, they never return. My pack hasn't caused this, we don't kill innocent people - that's why we have little prisoners as we are accepting.

Furthermore, many newcomers meet their mates here which is good. Many haven't met their mates here, that's why they go out of the mountains to search for theirs - most return, little don't - our thoughts is that they've found their mate. What many newcomers are weary about are the amount of humans in our town, we have around 700 members but the numbers are still going up - we also have around 100 humans. Most know of our existence but don't mind, some don't know but we don't make what we are obvious anyways.

I'm interrupted from my thoughts when there is an abrupt knock at my door.

"Come in." I say.

My door opens and I see a maids head peek in and she then hurriedly comes in and says.

"Alpha, you are wanted in the prison - there are people asking for you. Beta Blake said for you to hurry." She quickly says.

"Okay, thank you. Whilst you are here, please give these letters to the collectors." I reply.

The letters are those from the meeting earlier, making sure all the kit needed is available and can be collected from our source outside the mountain range.

I run over to the prison and see what Blake was fussing about, my eyes widen once I open the door to the cells.

Not expecting any of what was happening. Or who was there.
