She's the Hidden Alpha

Run, little wolf, run! I keep on running through the forest, hoping that he won't be able to catch me. I'm tired, and my feet give up, but I can feel his stares through the darkness. I'm coming little wolf. Run! run as fast as you can. My tears kept on rolling on my cheeks. My heart is beating so fast. I stumble on the tree's large root, which makes me stop running. He's here. I hide inside the hole in the middle of this tree and put my hand to cover my mouth to prevent my sobs from coming out. He will kill me once he catches me. Got you, little wolf. You have nowhere to hide. He grabbed my arm tightly and pull me out of the tree. I screamed and screamed but I feel like no one could hear me. Mom, Dad, brothers. I can smell your sweet blood, little wolf. What would be his reaction when he found his little princess was bitten by a vampire? I'm feeling weak as he says those words. Daddy won't be happy, he'll turn this world upside down. Please, don't. I kept on begging him as he was pulling my hair. I can feel his breath on my neck as he sniffs it as if he is finding a good spot to bite. I tried to punch him but it was no use. Then he grabbed my hand to stop my punches and bit my neck. ---* I woke up feeling nauseous because of that dream. It's been 2 years since that incident happened but it feels real. I can still feel how much it hurts when his fangs was buried in my neck. Every time I sleep, this is the only thing that I dream of. It's just 5:15 am and I know I won't be able to go back to sleep. I got up and fix my bed. I straighten the bedsheets, then the blankets. I fluff my pillows and arrange them according to their sizes. At exactly 5:30 am, I went to the bathroom to take a shower. The cold water somehow relaxes my body. After taking a shower, I decided to go down to the kitchen. Morning cooks are usually done at this time because my father loves to eat his breakfast right after sunrise. As his loving kids, we inherited that habit, except for Lucas. I was right. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the sweet smell of pancakes with butter on top and drizzled with maple syrup. the fatty smell of bacon, and the nose-invading perfume of Laurice. "I was about to go up and call you. Good morning, love" then she gave me her sweet smile. Laurice is one of our omegala and she's the mate of one of our hunters. She's the best cook our pack ever had but her perfume really bothers me. I just don't have the courage to say it to her because it might break her heart. She really loves that perfume. "Good morning, Laurice. I can't see any of my brothers. Are they still sleeping?" I ask as I scan the whole kitchen. "Yes, except for Lucas. He hasn't slept even for a wink. If I haven't seen him shift, I would totally call him an owl." she says as she forms circles on her fingers and put them in front of her eyes. I smiled at her. "I'll just go upstairs then wake them up. Dad would be mad if they don't eat breakfast on time. Thank you for cooking, Laurice." "No worries, Love" then she goes back to the dirty kitchen to cook more breakfast for the pack. My brothers usually stay up late so I find it hard to wake them up. It took a lot of strength that's why I usually let my Mom do that job. Our rooms are located in the east wing, on the third floor of the mansion. The other members usually stay in the west wing or on the second floor. Most of our furniture is made of wood but there's still a hint of modern style on others. My Mom is the one who manages the style of the packhouse but there are times that she went overboard. Five more steps and I'm already at the front of Lucas' room. Okay, first stop, the owl, as Laurice calls him. I knock three times but he didn't answer. I knock three more times and my patience is already running out. "Lucas, what the heck. I know you're awake. Get the hell out." and I continue knocking on his door. I was ready to kick his door when he suddenly opened it. "Jeez, Isa. You should really manage that temper of yours." then he put his arms on my shoulders. "Wake the twins up. Dad would be--" "Yeah, yeah. he'll be mad. I'll wake the twins then you should go to Mom and Dad's." I squinted my eyes because of that. He usually goes to Mom and Dad's room every morning when we are the first ones to go to the kitchen. He probably did something wrong. Again. I didn't ask him any more questions and I just walked toward my parent's room. I can hear their voices, which means they are about to go down. I am about to go back but I heard my Mom's voice getting louder. "She's our daughter, Matteo. I can't send her to that horrible place!" I know they are talking about me so I step forward to get closer to their room. "The elders were mad and anxious, Luna. I don't want to do that either but look at what happened yesterday. We almost lost one of our deltas. She's my daughter but I am also the alpha of this pack. I have to think about the safety of the pack members." I stopped. There's a sudden flashback of what happened yesterday. I got mad. I was screaming at everyone. I attack, I can't see how many, pack members then I saw someone bleeding. I can't recall everything. I can't see who is it. Oh, God. My emotions are getting piled up. My tears are flowing down to my cheek. My heart is beating so fast. My hands are shaking and I can feel that I'm already losing control over my body. My vision's getting blurry. I can hear someone calling me, faintly. I don't want to hurt anyone again, so I run. I run to go out of the packhouse immediately and disappear into the heart of the forest.
