Alpha Serina

Jessica pov. I woke up to Rover licking my hand. I gave him a pat on the head seeing as my poor shepherd dog didn’t understand that it was a nice way to wake up yes but it was too early for me. Rover was a trained dog to help with Cattle but also by my mother to make sure I got up early enough to actually help her instead of sleeping in. Not waking up at seven instead of five ment I was any less of a hard worker. I got up seeing as if Rover didn’t get me up and going soon enough mom would barge in here to do it herself. After getting ready I met mom downstairs and sat down for breakfast, Mom cooks breakfast twice each day once for us (our breakfast always felt like she made it better) and once for my dad and brother Jake because they get home late most nights from the hospital she tries to let them sleep in a bit later and that allows both of us and Rover to move the cattle and get started on cleaning the barn. We like to do that everyday before the boys get up seeing as I know they’d want to do the heavy lifting so us girls didn’t have to, the thought of that makes me groan. Mom and I are a lot stronger than most women our ages. We work the farm together because we both love it and so Dad and Jake can go after their dream job. We get strange looks sometimes because most men in our pack are warriors and women act as if it's still the fifties or something. Don’t get me wrong all of the women in our pact aren’t defenseless or weak just after mandatory training most don’t push themselves farther. A lot of the time when I'm at school I get picked on by the extremely frill girls who just want to obediently follow their future mates and think how I am will somehow magically look bad on them. -Because being stronger than a guy is tooottaallyy a bad thing- my wolf butts in. Oh yeah I Should probably explain that and a few things hu? So in my pack all teanagers train on Saturdays one to five (He wishes he can push is more but my age group sixteen to eighteen is normally learning alongside our parents when not at school or training so he allows so little as mandatory) and sometimes our Alpha also adds on Thursday and Tuesday nights six to eight if we have had either a recent rogue attack or have another pack coming. Working on a farm is a surprising work out, I also go to school every weekday eight to three. Seeing as tomorrow when the Blue amethyst pack is coming in we have been pushed extra hard the last few weeks.. Blue amethyst is the first ever female alpha leaded pack, she isn’t called a Luna like most women in that type of power because her father and mother only had her before her mother passed due to complications trying to give birth to a boy. Her father for a while was extremely depressed but having a five year old daughter needing him he got out of it for her. He stepped down three years ago and since then Alpha Serina has been leading them. For the first few months no male apha took her seriously and not because she was eighteen and a new alpha but because she was a woman. She proved them wrong though and honestly has the strongest pack that i’ve heard of. I was quickly taken out of my daydreaming when Rover toppled me after mom slammed the gate shut seeing as Rover finished moving the cows into the field we have for them for the day. I gave Rover a pat on the head then wiped some of the dirt off. Mom gave me a weird glance and I just shrugged. “Daydreaming about a boy?” She asked and I almost puked. 'wrong mother she was daydreaming about a certain alpha again- my wolf said in my head making me glad my mom couldn't hear her. “You turn eighteen tomorrow and your chances of finding your mate are extremely high seeing as Blue Amethyst is also going to be here. I can’t wait for you to find your mate!” I could tell she was excited which only made me feel worse. I haven’t told my mom I’m attracted to women as its not very common for gay mates to exist and when they do it doesn’t always lead to happy ever after. I gave her a fake smile and made my way inside. It's saturday and I have to meet up with Izzy before I go to training. Izzy belongs to a coven that has taken residency as my pack’s neighbor fifty years ago and in exchange for being neighbors and being allowed in each other's land the witches do protective magik for us while we but border patrol for them, my pack has the numbers to do it and seeing as we practically are just one pack it doesn’t bother anyone anymore. My mom used to say how her and Lizzy’s mom had to go through a lot just to be friends in the relative beginning but all of the other Apha’s are weary. We are the only pack with such a good connection with witches while most are on relatively friendly terms we are like best friends. “Earth to Jessica! What are you thinking of?” Lizzy said after giving me a hug and getting me out of my second embarrassing daydream. “Let me guess a she-wolf?” I blushed and slapped my hand over her mouth, she is the only person who knows my secret. I mean sure matches like this happen but doesn’t mean people like me don’t get weird looks or worse from others. Reason A as why it’s my secret. ‘Till we meet our mate’ my wolf butts in for the third time today which I quickly tell her to shut it. “Shush it Lizzy we are about to be surrounded by pack members.” I say giving her a semi playful side eye. She knows that I don’t want others to know but she doesn’t care. I mean why would her coven be full of pairs that don’t have to worry about gender? Magik helps with that. “I’m sorry it’s just I know how much you want your mate but are too afraid to say it.” ‘I know, I know and thank you for caring still, just not now.” I say while we reach the training grounds her giving me a sad smile before we are starting off class. I could tell that she didn’t want to drop it though. Glad that I was saved from that same conversation yet again. ----end chapter 1---
