The Eyes in the Dark

BEEP BEEP BEEP SMASH. “STEVIE ELIZA WILLS, that best not be another phone broken” My darling mother Grace bellows towards the direction of my room. A little lady with a feisty attitude and big heart. I pull myself out of bed glancing at my sleepy reflection in the mirror next to my bed. Picking up my phone I check the time… *s**t, its 7:45am I’m going to be so late. I have a whole 15 minutes to get ready for school which is fantastic, I quickly put together an outfit, a plane white cropped top, ripped jeans and my denim jacket (I can never go wrong with double denim) I gave my hair a quick brush making it wavy but neat and grabbed my schools rucksack, I rush downstairs nearly slamming into my dad, who has a grin on his face, “You do know if you didn’t ignore the 1st and 2nd alarms you set, you wouldn’t be rushing around and nearly knocking your poor old father to the floor, right?” Said my dad whilst watching me shove my feet into my black converse. “Yes dad, now will you please please please drive me to school seeing as my car is still not fixed, I don’t think I can bare another run to school.” I cringe in my head at the thought of my messy state after my last run to school, which was a ‘motherly lesson’ of why not to wake up late. My dad laughs and jingles his car keys, “ I would hateeee to know my princess is walking aloneeee to school in this cold weathh..” as my dad emphasises his word my mother cuts him off, “Robbie Wills the cold doesn’t effect wolves but time does hence why your darling princess needs a car ride, don’t try and convince me otherwise, now get her to school before she’s late again” I quick grab my dad and we jump in his Range. The drive to school was fast my dad ran a few red lights but we ended up arriving in one piece, thankfully. “Bye daddy, I love you remember to drive safely home” I giggle as I slam his car door. I run at speed across the school lawn and up the steps into the building, making it to class just as the bell rang. LYCAN HISTORY I really do hate the history of my kind and learning it, well let’s just say boringggg. Mr Kelk is a high rank warrior of my pack so his whole presence demands respect and attention, he misses nothing and will be challenged by nobody and lucky for me he just happens to be our history teacher and combat teacher. The lesson as always is dragging on, so I naturally turn off and start thinking about the pledge party this Saturday at the pack house, it’s going to be dope, it’s the party where our alpha exchanges bloods so our wolves can be fully released and we can finally communicate and shift into them, as I dream on my thoughts are interrupted.. “Miss Wills seeing as i have asked you twice already maybe a third time I will be lucky and get my answer.. this Saturday is the pledge pack ball where all students who are 18 now or turning in a weeks time will have their wolf freed from their mind, now can you please tell me what other gift is freed with your wolf?” I refrain from rolling my eyes as Mr Kelk who will literally chew me up and spit me out, “ Ummm your ability to umm sense your mate is freed” I stutter, which makes my red in the face with embarrassment. Mr Kelk smiles, which is a relief. “ Ahh yes I suppose I forgot about being able to sense your mate, however I was talking about your ability to push you aura onto another” he smugly spoke. “Now Miss Wills some lower ranking pack members such as yourself won’t be born to lead therefore won’t be able to push power and make other wolves feel their strength only higher ranking pack members such as an alpha, their Batas, deltas and in some cases trackers and pack Warriors. Do you understand?” Holding back my anger I nod, I cannot wait to get my wolf then I’ll be able to show him how wrong he is for I may be born to low ranking members but I was a natural alpha female. Don’t get me wrong I would never use my aura for gain just to change history because low ranking wolves like my parents help build this pack for high levelled pack members, so they shall receive no disrespect from him or higher ranks. Lunch- All my morning lessons passed by fast with no further issues, thank the moon goddess. It’s lunch which means sitting by myself outside, listening to my music. I don’t have friends at school, i got bullied in my 1st year for my white hair and silver eyes so much so my mum homeschool me for my 2nd year, not because I was upset more to the fact we didn’t want any incidents with my alpha ego and high ranking kids, or my wolf to push its own release, my parents needed me to keep my true self a secret which I do. When i started back a Riven high the kids had ‘grown’ and moved on from bully me so now I stick to myself to make my life easier. I was walking out of the cafeteria doors to sit in my spot when my body collided with an extremely hard surface. That surface being the body of my 21 year old alpha accompanied by his bata Toby, “Umm Stevie Willsss have you see..” I cut him off to save us both the awkward encounter. “Yes Alpha Kylen, Stevie here what can I do for you?” I said quickly, definitely making it awkward, could this encounter be any worse. “Ahh Stevie, can you come to the principals office with me.. follow us please.” Alpha Kylen demanded, I did not like that, I followed anyway as a good low rank would. Upon entering the principals office the atmosphere changed, it felt odd. Bata Toby gestured for me to sit in the leather chair across from him and Alpha Kylen , I did as he wanted. Huffing the Alpha began to speak “ Now Stevie I have some upsetting news about your parents, i..” interrupting I asked if they were okay but the alpha and bata just shared a look and sympathetically turned back to me. “Now Stevie there’s no easy way to tell you this but your parents are dead, the rouges attacked the edge of the border where low ranking Warriors patrol and unfortunately for 20 pack member who live towards that area have been lost.” I could not believe it my vision blurred, I struggle to get my words out when I asked the alpha “ wher where were you all?” The bata smiled sympathetically again then stated that he and the higher ranks were in a meeting and couldn’t get to the fight fast enough. To the alpha and batas horror I screamed at them, “You mean to tell me that all of you high ranking member couldn’t get to a battle a few miles from your location? You’re pathetic and I hate you all” as I turn to dash away, the alpha grabs my arm. “Do not speak to us this way, I am your alpha who’s do you think you are?” He rages his eyes glowing red and teeth bared indicating just how pissed he and his wolf Asher were. I couldn’t care for his rage, I was just as upset, I turned to face him and simply stated in a deathly tone “ I am Stevie Eliza Wills daughter of 3rd class warrior Robbie Wills and his mate Grace Wills, born alpha female gifted by the moon goddess” power dripped off of me, as I spoke I felt my wolf push through my mind snapping our connection fully into place, forcing herself free, she needed No permission from her alpha to do so showing him just how powerful she was. The alpha and bata growled.
