The Female Apha

Chapter 3

    I woke up to my alarm going off and I tried to hit snooze but Parker grabbed it from me.

    "What do you think you are doing missy?" 

    "I am trying to hit the snooze button so I can get 10 more minutes of sleep."

    "Well, that ain't going to work today! Get up and go take a shower now!" 

    "Okay, mom whatever you say." Parker hated being late for anything and I was the complete opposite that's why he was the perfect Beta for me. He will make sure I stay on schedule and not be late for meetings. 

    I hopped into the shower and did my normal morning routine. Told I made sure not to stare are my scars too long. They were a part of me and if I was going to be Alpha I needed to stop hiding from my pack and start opening up more. I don't plan on talking about what happened just yet but baby steps are a great start. Today I decided to wear shorts and a tee-shirt.

    I walked down to the kitchen the only ones in there were Gamma Nathan and Harper. I usually don't see them in the morning as Harper always leaves to see his girlfriend before school and Gamma Nathan is usually training other pack members but I must I have been running early today.

    "Good morning Caroline, you are up early today," Nathan says as he turns around and looks at me confused. "Is everything okay? You are wearing clothes the show your scars."

    "Yes, everything is fine Nathan I just decided it was time to stop hiding and show the pack that I am the Alpha they need."

    "Awe, I am so proud of you Care," Harper says while hugging me tightly.

    "Thank you but you can let go now!" I say then Harper releases me immediately. I always wondered why Harper and I weren't close but the more I think about it the more I am okay with it. His Girlfriend is Ashley one of Alex's stupid friends. So I try to avoid them as much as possible. 

    "Well if you will excuse me I am going to go start training and I will see you after school for training Caroline don't be late." Gamma Nathan said to me as he left the kitchen. I was hoping since my dad and Beta Aaron were gone I was going to have to train but I guess I was wrong.

    I made a bowl of cereal for breakfast today and once I was done I left and started walking to school. I usually waited for Parker to drive us to school but I wanted to switch up today. 

*Hey I am walking to school today so don't worry I already left* I text Parker

*Why didn't you wait for me I would have walked with you*

* I just wanted some time alone to think about everything going on right now*

*Okay well please be careful Care. Don't do anything stupid.*

*When do I ever do anything stupid?*

*When don't you is a better question.*

*Okay well I will be careful see you at lunch*

    Parker didn't text back after that. After a 30 minute walk, I was at school. I got a few dirty looks but I couldn't tell if the was because of the scars or the argument that happened with Alex yesterday. Whatever the reason was it had me distracted and I ran into someone. "I am so sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking," I said as I looked up to see I ran into. It was HIM the guy I saw yesterday!

    It was Mr. Green eyes. My heart stopped as I looked up at him. He was almost a whole foot taller than me. Oh his eyes, his were so green I could stare into them for hours. He was so solid not an ounce of fat on his body, he was like a brick wall. 

    "Are you okay Caroline?" He asked

    "Oh yes, I'm perfectly fine. You don't have to call me Alpha Caroline it's just Caroline."

    "I didn't call you Alpha Caroline but I will keep that in mind." 

    OMG, I just embarrassed myself so badly. Of course, he didn't say Alpha why would he. Wait why wouldn't he call my Alpha? And how did he know my name I have never met him before? "How did you know my name is Caroline? I don't believe we have met before."

    "Well you are the only child to Alpha Ryan and the only female in line for Alphaship is hard not to know your name, Caroline." 

    The way he said my name had my heart skipping beats. His strong hefty voice made me weak in my knees. No one has ever had this effect on me before I wonder why he did. "Oh, of course, I tend to forget I am the talk of the packs nowadays," I said shyly looking away from him.

    He pulled my face back so that I was looking at him. "Don't ever apologize, an Alpha never says they are sorry it’s a sign of weakness," he says in a tone that is kind of intimidating yet sexy at the same time. Oh, Moon Goddess why is this happening to me.

    "Well great Alphas apologize for their mistakes and take fault in their failures but they do not let them make less of an Alpha and still demand respect," I say with my head held high.

    "What a wise young Alpha." He grabs my hand and goes the kiss it when he notices the scars on my arm. I pull my hand from his quickly trying to hide my arms. "What happened to your arms and legs if you don't mind me asking?"

    I stand there for a moment not knowing what to say until "oh, nothing just some training mishaps," came out of my mouth.

    He looked at me in disbelief knowing that only silver can scar a werewolf even a young wolf. He didn't ask any more questions after that.

    "Well, it was nice to finally meet you in person Caroline."

    "Nice to meet you too..." I paused I didn't know his name but when I went to ask him he was already gone. Who was this guy and why did I get so flustered around him?

    The day went on, as usual, I was still getting strange looks but I didn't let it bother me. All day I kept thinking about the guy I meant Mr. Green eyes. There was something about him that was so familiar I just couldn't put my claw on it. 

TWO WEEKS LATER    It was the day before mine and Parker's birthday. I was So excited my dad was coming home today I really missed him. He has been gone the past two weeks talking to the other Alphas about me taking over our pack. I would be the first female to take over a pack as an Alpha no a Luna. 

    I was sitting in the living room waiting for dad and beta Aaron to get home. They called yesterday saying they had big news for me. I couldn't help but wonder what it was.

    As soon as my dad walked through the door I gave him a huge hug "I missed you so much, dad." 

    "I missed you too sweetheart"

    "So what is the big news"

    "Let us go to my office to talk" 

    We walk up the stairs to my dad's office. His office is on the fifth floor of our five-story pack house. The first floor consists of the Kitchen, Living room, Dining room, game room, and pool room. The second floor is for any Omegas that want to live in the pack house. The third floor is for the Beta and Gammas families and the Betas office. The fourth floor is for the Alpha and Luna’s family, I am the only one that stays on this floor. My dad's parents moved out a few years ago wanting to travel the world. The fifth floor is the Alpha and Luna’s floor it has their offices, bedroom and a nursery for any young pups they have. 

    As we reached my dad's office I could tell there was something wrong. He opened the door to the office and walked over to his desk. I followed him sitting in one of the chairs in front of his desk. My dad had the worried look on his face. I couldn't help but ask "dad what is wrong? You look worried. What happened with the other packs and why were you gone so long?" 

    "Everything will be fine dear, please don't worry." My dad said trying to calm me but it wasn't working. I was freaking out inside, scared that the other Alphas wouldn't let me run my pack. This has been a fear of mine since the being of my senior of high school, that's when the other Alphas decided a female should not be Alpha of a pack especially the strongest pack in America. No one pack would fight us alone but if a majority of the other packs came together we could have a problem. 

    "Okay, so what did the other Alphas say about me becoming Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack?" I could feel my heart tightening when I asked that question I was so nervous. 

    "They said you can become Alpha of this pack," he takes a pause then continues "but, you must find your mate." My heart sinks when I hear those words come out of his mouth. All the hard work I have put in to run this pack down the drain. Why? Why did no one believe I can do this. I am one of the strongest werewolves in America and that is only with my human form who knows how much stronger I will become after my first shift. I have survived through so much and done so much already for my pack. "Sweetheart are you okay?" I hear my dad's voice as I refocus on the conversation.

    "Yes, dad I am fine, just shocked that I have to find my mate to become Alpha."

    "Well, that's not all sweetie." I look up at my dad what more could this man want to tell me. "You only have until you graduate to find him." 

    "ARE YOU SERIOUS!" I scream not meaning to yell at my dad but he is the only one around. "This is ridiculous! No male wolf has to find his mate before becoming Alpha why should I? I am just as capable as every other soon to be Alpha." I say in a calmer tone but you could still tell I was pissed off. 

    "I know this isn't what you wanted to hear but my hands are tied. It was either you find you mate or the Late Alpha Daniels son Kol take over our pack. I just couldn't let that monster's son take over our pack. Sweetheart, I know this is hard for you but it is what is best for the pack."  My dad's words hit me hard. He is right I can let that monster take over our pack I have to find my mate and I have two weeks to find him.

    "You are right dad. I will not let that monster have our pack. My 18th birthday is tomorrow so that's when the search for my mate will begin." The look on my dad's face was different than normal. He was trying to be proud of me but he was also sad.  

    I get up to leave my dad's office before exiting I hug him tightly "I love you dad I promise I won't let you down." I then exit the office and go to my room.
