Lindsey
After the movie was over everyone went to hang out in the game room until dinner time. The guys were shooting pool and girls were trying to get their attention. They screamed desperation pulling their tops down to show their cleavage and bending over. Some were even playing the damsel in distress pretending like the didn't know how to play certain games when truthfully they were better than the guys. It was pathetic really.
I felt the overwhelming desire to go over and salvage which self respect was left for the female race so I decided to go play a game of pool. It was considered a guy's game so girls rarely played unless a guy was 'showing' them how.
"Mind if I join?" I said asked when I saw Beau, the Gamma's son, racking up the balls. I had never really played much. Just at night when I was bored and no one was around, but I wasn't too bad. I was sure I could win a game or two. How hard could it be?
"Not at all doll. In fact I would love to teach you. That is if this big stick isn't too much for you to handle," said Trey handing me a pool stick grinning. I caught the double meaning and rolled my eyes. He was the Beta's son and Kascy's twin brother. Not to mention the most annoying guy on the planet. He flirted with practically every female and slept with any of them who were willing to let him. Everyone couldn't wait until he found his mate so that she could tame him. I just prayed it wouldn't be me.
"I handled much bigger sticks so I'm sure I can manage," I said shattering his ego. I heard the sound of laughter erupt and that only made him worse.
"Care to test that theory? We can take this upstairs and settle this once and for all. When we're done I guarantee every member in this house would have heard you screaming my name," he said cockily.
"Yeah I'll be screaming your name alright, out of frustration from not having an o****m, now break."
Laughter erupted again. I could tell he was pissed since he hit the ball with more force than necessary, but he'd get over it. Normally we got along pretty well when he wasn't being a perverted jerk which was usually when he wasn't around his friends. I got the feeling it was just an act to show people he was strong. He was slightly bitter that his sister was going to be my beta. People thought I chose her because she was the stronger of the two and he was dead set on proving them wrong. The truth was she was just more mature. I needed someone who would take the position seriously and not abuse it. My little brother Jacob would be a better choice than Trey at this point and that was saying something since he was only twelve.
We started to play the game and he was good. He got back his playful demeanor as he sank shot after shot. I missed a few easy ones because I was better at the trick shots but I wasn't out of the game yet.
"Looks like your going to loose this round doll," he said grinning as he made another shot. He had one ball left then the eight ball while I had three. It was my turn and fortunately they all looked like shots I could make. I sank two in a row making us even.
He prepared for his next shot and all of a sudden Chasin walked by with a clean load of laundry. He was shoved by one of the pack sluts and bumped into Trey making him miss the shot. Her name was Paige and her and her group of Barbie friends were always causing problems.
"What the hell!" Trey yelled furiously.
"I'm sorry," Chasin said nervously. The sluts burst out laughing and that only pissed me off.
"You don't have to apologize Chasin. Trey calm down. That b***h over there shoved him and he stumbled into you."
I threw down the stick down and stormed over to wear they were sitting ready to b***h slap all three of them. The way the acted was ridiculous. The room was silent when I reached them. People were staring but I didn't care, I was used to the attention.
"Apologize to him, now," I said to Paige trying to keep my cool.
"What? I'm not apologizing to an omega," she said outraged.
"We do not mistreat people in this pack. How many times do I have to tell you and your clones that? Either you apologize to him right now or deal with me, Your choice."
"Sorry omega," she said sarcastically.
"He has a name and I don't think everyone heard you."
"Sorry Chasin," she said louder rolling her eyes.
"Now leave," I said using a bit of my alpha tone. She and her crew got up and stormed off. I heard her mumble something along the lines of how stupid it was that I was sticking up for a worthless omega.
"What was that Paige?" I said poking my head out the doorway knowing she could still hear me.
"Nothing alpha."
"That's what I thought."
I went and sat on the couch not feeling like playing anymore. Chasin walked over to where I was sitting, laundry still in hand. Everyone was looking at us and I knew that made him nervous. I felt the need to comfort him but held myself back.
"Thanks alpha," he said before bowing and taking off.
A few hours later everyone had eaten dinner and were preparing for the announcement. I was up in my master bedroom taking my time getting ready. I wanted to look presentable since I would be standing in front of everyone.
I took a shower, wrapped a towel around myself, and went in the closet to pick out an outfit. I decided to wear some slacks and a ruffled top and wedges. I didn't want to wear a dress since the whole point was to show that I strong enough to be in charge and I didn't want to look like a pansy. I didn't bother with make up since I hated the stuff and put my hair up in a simple bun leaving out a few loose strands.
I took one final look in the mirror and was satisfied. I walked down stairs and out the back door. There was a stage and a podium set up and chairs had been set out for everyone.
I looked around and noticed only half of the people had arrived. Even though I had taken my time I was still early since I didn't spend hours on my appearance.
I went and took my seat next to my brother and parents.
"Hey peanut head," I said ruffling my brother's hair. He smacked my hand away smiling.
"I told you not to call me that."
"You're my kid brother it's my job to do things you don't want me to do."
"Yeah whatever. So you ready to be the alpha?" he asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be."
"Cool. You think I could run the pack for a day or two while mom and dad are gone?" he asked excitedly.
"No." all three of us said in unison.
"You're going to be staying at your aunt's young man. You call Lindsey if you need her but you are to stay out of trouble," my mom scolded.
"You guys never let me have any fun," he pouted and we just laughed.
"Alright looks like everybody's here so lets get this over with," my dad said getting to his feet and stepping on the platform.
Everyone went silent as he looked over the crowd.
"Thank you all for coming. I'll just get to the point. There are a series of meetings being held in Britain to address some issues that they have been having with rogues fleeing to the states from their country. They fear that these rogues seek to build alliances here and then go back to take over their territories. They have requested the help of the top alphas which as you know includes myself to devise a plan ensure they are not successful and prevent any future problems. Your luna and I have decided to extend our stay meaning we will back in a few months time after the meetings are over and we have seen the better side of what the country has to offer. Our plane leaves in the morning and we have decided to leave our daughter Lindsey in charge while we are away. It will give her an opportunity to prove to us that she can handle the position of alpha when I step down. She has had years of training and we feel she is more than capable. Falcon of course will assist her and we will be constantly checking to make sure everything is running smoothly. That is all. Lindsey would you like to say a few words before we disband?"
I took a deep breath and went up to join him. He stood aside to let me have the floor.
"Hi everyone. I just want to let you all know that I take this position very seriously. For these few months and beyond I will do everything I can to protect this pack and ensure its safety. Words can not express how much it means to me that I have been given this opportunity so you can rest assured that I will do nothing to jeopardize the trust and faith that has been given to me. We are family and will stand united as always no matter the situation. All I ask for is your cooperation and support and that you go about your daily lives as usual. You can come to me with any issues and I will address them best I can. If there are no questions thank you and good night."
People applauded and nodded in approval some even shook my hand as they left. Tomorrow morning I would officially be the alpha of my pack. I had dreamed of the moment and it was finally going to be here. I couldn't wait to do the job I was destined for.
