Awakening~Abby
Walking with Kenna and Sarah to the training grounds behind the pack house has always been the best part of every day. It's the calm before David, his hatred, and unnatural jealousy of me smacks me all over again. Although, some days he tries to start training early, like today.
I'm only half listening to Kenna talk about her new puppy at home when I hear him and Marcus. And Sarah got to the grounds early.
"Honestly Abby, I don't know what to do! Mom says I should play with Spot more before bed to tire him out, but I can't ever seem to get this darn dog to be tired! I have tried everything and I just don't know what to do!" She complains.
I think for a moment, I don't know much about dogs kind of ironic since we're werewolves.
"Well, I've never had to train a dog before but maybe you could read up on him online, some dog breeds need certain things" I say.
A twig snaps under Marcus' foot so soft I almost didn't hear it. 100 Paces Southwest from us, I hear David and Marcus whispering to themselves.
"We're downwind Marc, there's no way she could scent us or pick up on our spot we are too far away"
Marc stiffens and sighs "It's about time we had the upper hand this Omega b***h is never going to be top warrior when we take over the pack"
I guess they're determined to finally teach me my place as an Omega. It's too bad that I can hear their every breath. I smile with anticipation as Kenna doesn't sense them and she groans cutting off my thoughts.
"Ugh! Abby, you know I don't like to read you've got to have better suggestions other than read!" She cries out smacking my arm. David and Marcus begin their near silent and quick advance...80 paces out.
Shaking my head, I roll my eyes away from her even though she's not scholarly in any way, Kenna has always been a charming and funny friend especially today.
"Look Kenna, why don't you try.... I don't know watching videos. There's plenty of stuff to help you out on the internet. " 70 paces...
She grins at that. "See?! That's why you're the brains in this friendship ..... and also I might need your help again" she says sheepishly, her left hand nervously rubbing the back of her neck. Kenna is a beautiful girl, shoulder length curly lob in a darker Auburn shade gives a stark contrast with her soft rosy skin tone, being the Gamma's daughter she has bright Hazel eyes with green specks in them. A trait that all the Pine family has. Standing at 5'7" she's a force to be reckoned with, especially in her reddish brown wolf form, Khanna.
I laugh, "Ooh looks like the tough Kenna Pine needs more help in werewolf history again" I tease as I give her a light shove. 60 paces..
Ha! I'm going to let Marcus and David think they have the upper hand. It's been a miracle that my senses have developed and increased the way they have. I can smell the anxiety and their thirst for violence as if they are standing next to me.
They move quicker as they begin to close the distance between us, their breathing and heart rates picking up in anticipation, oooh this will be fun. They're getting cocky...
"Look, Abby... I suck at history and the Midterm exams are coming up... I know that we have training after school but I'm hoping after you can re explain what happened to Lycan King Ander in the seventh dynasty."
Being 500 years ago, Lycan King Ander was the first ruler to allow us normal werewolves to join their empire and establish mating bonds with one another. And though the two wolf species are at peace and have been for the last 500 years the Lycans are far more superior in every way and still rule and maintain order throughout all of the packs.
"Kenna, he's literally one of the most important Lycan Kings, he was the first to mate with an average werewolf and in good spirits he invited all werewolves to join his empire, the test is on Thursday you gotta know this stuff!" I say as I shake my head.
"Oh yeah? Well how many times did I have to explain how a kiss works for THAT to sink in! Besides, you've never kissed anyone let alone had a boyfriend" Kenna counters me with a sly smile on her face. My face warms and grows red as she says this. It's not that I couldn't get a boyfriend if I wanted one I am very attractive, I have long Raven black hair that falls in waves down to my waist, today I've got it in a braid. I have icy blue eyes that bring me way too much attention, they are the main trait that I have different from my family, a cream/caramel colored skin tone. Standing at 5" 11' I'm pretty tall for most she wolves. I've simply wanted to have all of my firsts with my Mate. A mate is your goddess given soulmate the one person or being the completes you in every way...
When Kenna and Sarah first started talking about boys and kissing it was when we were 13 and I didn't get it. Also, I've never been kissed and David is gonna have a field day with that information, Being 50 paces away he can hear what we're saying and the near silent snicker sounds deafening in my ears.
David and Marcus being the future Alpha and Beta of the Cedar Wood pack... the girls fall head over heels left and right. I've never had issues making friends Besides Kenna I'm also good friends with David's girlfriend Sarah(beta), Marcus's sister, Bryce(Kenna's brother/gamma) , Chris and Sophie(delta). Now their younger sisters are a different story. With my dad being the top warrior for their parents, I have a legacy to uphold but both David and Marcus don't want a female top warrior. They want Jason to take my slot. Despite what Bryce(future Gamma) and Chris(future Delta) say they won't listen to and test me whenever they get the chance. If I slip up I'll lose the title that I've trained hard to earn.
But what I really hate the most about my situation is that neither of them have real leadership qualities, and when they day comes that they take over the pack I will have to submit. And something that scares me is if my mate is not from this pack.. my slot will be forfeit and either go to Jason or my little brother Liam. Liam being 12 while I am 17... the family legacy my parents care so much about may not pan out. When I confronted David about his s****m against me and I pointed out that women can also be Beta female or Luna... he laughed in my face and said that they only hold power because they're ranked wolves and mated into the title. That if a female wolf isn't ranked, she's worthless. I may not be ranked but I have stronger senses and strength than the average omega and as my 18th birthday comes in a few months it all increases with each passing day.
And it doesn't help that for the past several weeks David has been getting more and more bitter with me.
We're almost to the training area and I'm starting to think that David and Marcus aren't going to be able to try their little sneak attack.
My suspicions are confirmed when Sarah comes into view and jogs over to us.
"Abby, where's your dad? He's usually the first one here and I can't mind link him."
