Not a prize
My name is Olivia Silverstone I am17 years old and I am a prisoner. When I was no older than 11 years old my family attacked a pack of werewolves, I was with them they wanted me to learn from them. How to hunt is a right of passage. But it went terribly wrong. And the pack turned on my family killing them.
The pack, the silver Moon pack live by a code. A code that Specifise they don’t kill children. Instead I was taken locked away. Night after night I would cry for my mother with no one to comfort me. no one but Axel.
At the age of 14 I was finally moved to a proper bedroom. I was in a cell in the basement of the pack house. But Alpha Rafael and his wife Luna Ruby Dante finally agreed they can trust me enough to give me a room. The bedroom I was given was the smallest. At the end of the hall on the second floor. I was told to keep my door locked while I slept. There are so many wolves that live at the pack house.
Including Alpha and Luna’s sons two of them. The eldest the next alpha Lucas and the youngest Axel. Lucas is 25 years old and Axle is 21 years old. When a wolf turns 18 they get their mate despite both of the boys ages neither of them have found their mate. Lucas is tall about 6’3 sandy brown hair the darkest brown eyes you have ever seen. Lucas is incredibly cruel even as a child he was. Always picking on me calling me mean names making fun of me for crying for my mother. Or for singing the hunters song when I couldn’t sleep. Axel is about 5’8” with jet black hair and grey eyes so grey they almost look blue. He is the opposite of his brother. No one knows but sometimes when I would cry, he would sneak down to the basement and sit with me well on the other side of the bars. And he even learned the hunter’s song and would sing it to me when I was sad. But in front of anyone he would act just like Lucas.
This weekend is my 18th birthday, unfortunately a birthday I share with Lucas Dante the future Alpha’s birthday always overshadowed mine not that I blamed the silver moon pack I was an outsider a hunter. I never expected them to throw me a party or anything. I got ready for school usually I would walk but when I walked downstairs Lucas was leaning on the countertop in the kitchen. He never hangs around in the morning.
Between his never-ending revolving door of girlfriends and his future alpha duties he was nearly never home in the mornings and if he was home then he was sleeping. I walked past him to the fridge he turned around his eyes seemed to follow my every move. I opened the fridge grabbing a bottle of water. When I closed the fridge door there he was Lucas staring at me. I felt my heart beat speed up and I knew that he could hear it. “good morning Alpha Lucas” I spoke earning a smirk from Lucas. “good morning little hunter” Lucas spoke. I despised when he called me that I’m obviously not a hunter. I don’t know what I am and that scared me. I spent most of my childhood hearing stories about the wolves that tear apart villages. The wolves that make children orphans. The wolves that made me an orphan, the monsters. But now I am face to face with a werewolf who has only ever seen my kind as a monster. The hunters that come after their kind in the night the kind that kill mothers and fathers not caring how old or how many wolf pups the orphan in the process. “Can I help you with something Alpha?” I asked him, usually Lucas would make some snarky comment to assert his dominance show he was the alpha male. “Well, you can start by thanking me. I’m taking you to school.” Lucas spoke with a matter-of-fact tone. No one says no to Alpha Lucas.
“Lucas that isn’t necessary. I can just walk like always” I told him I flinched when he grabbed my chin. “I wasn’t asking you Liv. I was telling you now go get your backpack.” Lucas spoke in a rough tone that made my skin crawl. “o…okay” I spoke not wanting to make him mad. I have seen him when he is mad, I have even been the victim or his rage. It’s utterly and completely terrifying to see his eyes turn black and his teeth shift and grow fangs.
I turn around to go up the stairs to get my backpack. When Lucas grabbed my arm. “And Olivia…you do not call me Lucas again you call me alpha” he spoke. That’s when we both heard a laugh from the staircase. Both Lucas and I turned to look at where the laugh was coming from. “Alpha? Please you are not the Alpha yet big bro” it was Axel, and he was looking at the two of us. Lucas let me go and I dashed upstairs, leaving the brothers to talk.
I could hear them arguing but I just went to my room. “why are you taking Liv to school anyway?” Axel asked his older brother. “Olivia is my mate. And since she is almost 18 I need to convince her to marry me and become my Luna so that I can become alpha” Lucas spoke.
“She is your mate?! Since when?!” Axel shouted he wasn’t an alpha but his howl was almost as powerful as one. I could tell he was mad. “stay in your place little brother. Olivia is my mate since I decided to claim her as my mate. I will give her the bite and then she will turn and bare my mark and I will marry her and make her my Luna” Lucas spoke. “turn her! Are you crazy have you even asked her what she wanted?!” Axel spoke. By this time I was in the hall way just listening.
My heart dropped when I heard Lucas’s plans for me. Plans I was completely unaware of. He wants to turn me he wants to mark me and make me his Luna. I heard of an Alpha picking his own mate but its rare. I sat down against the wall near the staircase just thinking. I had plans I had so many plans and they are destroyed if Lucas goes through with his plans.
I can’t just reject a future Alpha the silver moon pack could kill me for rejecting an Alpha their Alpha. I sighed I was still listening. “not if I make her my mate first and she wont have to turn for me I would love her just how she is.” I heard Axel say. “you think she would choose you over me. over an Alpha?!” Lucas spoke and laughed. “Then I'll challenge you I'll challenge you and become Alpha” Axel spoke. Lucas’s eyes grew dark. “You really are going to challenge me? You would risk your life risk killing your own brother?!” Lucas roared and it shook the whole house. I walked down stairs “enough I’m not a prize to be won” I spoke and looked at the brothers.
