Alpha Serina

episode 6

Jessica pov

Me and my dad were making breakfast and I could hear alpha Serina talking to her beta Luckas who I didn’t get to talk to last night but Serina told me he doesn’t like talking to strangers when unnecessary said something to her once about saving breath. I understand that I’m pretty similar. I didn’t know I zoned out till my dad pat my back.

“You okay kiddo?Zoned out there on me.” I shook my head yes and told him I was fine.

“So as I was saying you need to find your mate, I hate the idea of you being with a boy but you need to be kept protected. You are special and you need a guy who can keep you safe, preferably a slightly older man but not any older than twenty four. A man I can be proud to call my son-in-law. Not a sissy boy either Goddess knows those boys can do nothing for you.” My dad said starting a little conversation I didn’t want to be at all a part of one that I resented hearing. My dad was a manly man kind of guy and even though he helped everyone I know silent judgment lays in his eyes reason B that I have my secret, He never really liked that I’m more of a tomboy and honestly he didn’t say anything but I knew. He loved my independent self because I inherited that from mom but it made me nervous.

‘Are you okay I feel your anxiety through the doors.’ Serina said, making me feel bad for worrying her again. What the tenth time since she met me.

‘All good, just worried about the future that’s all.’ I told her knowing that was only a half truth but she didn’t need to know.

I felt her relieved and started paying attention to my dad who seems to be finishing his rant.

“Anyways I just want you to be happy with a man.” He smiled but that statement felt like a knife dug into my chest. I did my best to not let him or my mate know how hurt that made me feel instead I gave him a huge fake smile and sent happy emotions towards Serina who sent the same back calming me back down a little.

Breakfast had finished and Serina held my hand under the table the entire time, my dad excused himself first wanting to go see my mom, Luckas followed him saying he wanted to look at the barn and see what he can help with today before the dinner in our honor. That feels different and a weird one at that, because of what I am let alone who my mate is (that no one knows) I haven’t talked to anyone since last friday at school not there was much conversation except me and Lizzy. Girls pick on me in the classes Lizzy and I don’t share and that’s most of them, she doesn’t know either because she’s such a pure soul and she wouldn’t know what to do with herself, either become a violent rage or cry herself to unconsciousness.

I wonder how they would react to all of it but the power I'm supposed to have though the name makes no sense. I’m supposed to conquer what exactly because I feel no extra strength my wolf feels some though because she looks completely different. Instead of gray and normal size I'm bigger than most alphas I know and I’m white and have black paws and a black ear. My tail has a bit of a racoon look to it as well but there is more white than black. I was told about it from Serina last night as well.

Rover came over to me and almost knocked me down again. I swear I can handle his weight but him surprising me doesn’t help. I got on my knees and playfully ruffled his fur for a little Serina came up behind me and patted his head. Mom shortly walked over to us and I know she wanted to scold me for acting as a child playing on the floor but seeing my smile I guess she decided not to.

“So Alpha Serina what are your plans today?” Mom asked, grabbing her second glass of coffee for the day.

“Have Jessica be the tour guide to the Alpha’s pack house then I will meet with him and have our alliance meeting and to ask about my observation time and because I found the Quaesitum wolf I also want to see if he’d allow me to train her in private seeing as not many knew about the Quaesitum wolf wolf before today and it will be a shock to say the least to the werewolf community.” Serina said a weird expression plaguing her face almost as if she was nervous and excited at the same time.

“That sounds fun, and I hope all goes well. I have seen what you have done with the other packs that follow you and I have high hopes of you doing the same with us. Our alpha isn’t a bad one but I feel as if he’s losing his love of being in charge and his son isn’t old enough yet to take charge and I don’t know what he’ll do.” Mom said a little sad.

Our Alpha’s son is seventeen and even though it will be a few months till he’s ready but I can tell Lawson isn’t emotionally ready yet. He isn’t confident in himself and that’s uncommon amongst wolves and especially the Alpha bloodline. His father, our current alpha has been in charge for over thirty years and even though we age slowly his leadership has seen too many to count attacks from rogues and occasional vampires. While it shouldn't be that hard on him he has done this without fail and has lost too many pack members and witches. Even though we have the alliance with our neighbor witches sometimes their magic isn’t enough and It’s helped so much I know if they didn’t help we would have almost been wiped out.

“From what I can tell he has done more than most have, some of the packs that follow me are because their alpha is lazy and unreliable, not naming any pack I have personally seen what a greedy alpha or an alpha who feels as if bloodshed can be the only thing to do anything to get them to their goal. I had to teach packs what it truly means, to be a part of a pack and to care.” Serina said back to my mother, We know that we got lucky with our pack.

Serina shortly after finishing with the conversation took me by the arm and we headed out. I led her to the pack house and went downstairs while she had her meaning watching from the glass doors as the young children played on this nice summer day.

After Jessica left me at the alpha’s office I sat down to be offered a glass of bourbon to which I happily took. I know that Jessica’s mother wasn’t bad mouthing her Alpha but after seeing him for the first time I could tell that she was being honest. He’s tired and he isn’t in as good of shape, I guess a long career as an Alpha plus fatherhood can do that. He’s got three kids, two boys Lawson the future Alpha and Landon a nine year old along with his sixteen year old daughter Stacy.

“Hello Alpha Serina, I have to say I am very proud of all of the work you have done. I have talked to my beta about you on occasion over the years.” He said with a smile, to which I returned gladly.

“Thank you for noticing me Alpha. It is an honor to be in a pack that has such a great connection to the witches.”

“Funny thing about that, I’ll tell you about it actually seeing as you practically run the wolves of the u.s causing me no reason to go against you.” He said a hint of fear was present but not for himself as if he were scared for those who’d oppose me. Not that I have that much power.

‘Yes we do you just don’t notice it cause it’s not an official position.That’s mostly part of cerian alpha’s who- swear to never work with other packs because of thousand year old grudges no one even remembers.’ Anna said with a huff.

I think of that for a moment before telling the Alpha to continue.

‘“They came a few months after my father took the title. Told him that they wanted to stop traveling for a home and that we had the best land they felt so connected to earth here that they could wish for nothing else in the world except to live with us as neighbors. My father talked to his immediate circle and they all agreed, I guess moved. A few weeks later an official peace treaty was signed with what both were willing to do for each other, after that it has been better in the beginning the pack wasn’t fully ready to be so close to the coven but we managed to get past that somehow.” I was so surprised at his side of what happened seeing as Heather gave her side.

“So you want an alliance? Do you know the new power you will gain from this? What are the consequences that might follow?” I gave him a smile For the last year as all of this became such a in my face thing I knew that I either had to stop or had to try to take so much power on at my age. It scared me I knew in order for this I would need all the help I could get, from my beta to the people working on the ground, the warriors, the farmers, the caretakers, the teachers. Everyone needs me to do my best and I will need their support. I want to do my best for the entire werewolf species.

‘We’re ready!’ Anna said to me and I agreed.

“Yes, I am. Will you and your pack join an alliance with me?”

“Alpha Serina I will humbly join your alliance, your pack helps protect mine and we help protect yours. To protect when asked for, to be a helping hand no matter the distance, to alliance.” I didn’t comment on it but I saw a single tear fall from his eye, I could tell this helped him out so much to have some of the burden taken from him.

We drank another glass while officially signing the contract for our alliance. It made me happy and I couldn’t believe how much has changed since mom passed since I became Alpha. I am grateful for this chance to help this chance to do better.
