Chapter: 2
I wake up shooting out of bed covered in sweat, yelling and crying. My brothers soon follow and break my door rushing in looking for an attacker, their faces relax when they realize there is no one there. Sam, my younger brother sits on my bed running a hand through his silver and black hair.
“ same dream?” he lets out a breath looking at the ground. I can tell his eyes are sad.
It's the same dream I've been having for the last Two years. I've been having it multiple nights a week for the last Two years. It's been less and less but it's still way more than enough. This last week has been a step back with my Sixteenth birthday approaching , I let out a sigh.
James is the oldest at Nineteen and the youngest Alpha the Moon pride pack has ever had at the age of Seventeen the day our father died at the hands of Rouges, he refused to let the Beta even take over one day as Alpha he said “it wasn't right to have anyone else take over”.
That day changed our lives for better or worse. We were orphaned as our mother became a zombie almost just doing the bare minimum as she had lost a part of herself, losing a true mate was just like dying yourself most wolves can't make it through it. She did but wasn't strong enough to really keep on living.
James became Alpha and Sam became Beta this last year needing to become of age before James let him take over the responsibilities.
“ IZ?” he says looking at me realizing i had not responded to the question “ its ok, you ok.”
That is all he has to say using my pet name and pulling me into a hug causing me to relax.
“ You can't be late for the first day of the ‘experiment.’” he says teasingly, poking at me now.
James just lets out a chuckle knowing that I hate the fact that I have to attend this s**t show today. I know that they are just messing with me about it being an experiment but sometimes it doesn't feel like it's a joke as this is the first time anyone has attempted to do something like this.
With him being Eighteen now he doesn have to participate in it this year but hey he is running it. He’ll be the first Headmaster of a wolf higher education program, I let out a small chuckle thinking of the title.
This will be a group of our kind from Five different packs joining, ‘well Six but only Five with students.’ Sal says wanting to be part of my inner monologue. ‘Fourteen to Seventeen year old wolves, Three hundred kids so much fun.’ I respond with what today is going to be like. Seventeen is the age of adult-hood in our kind, then they go to a warrior school in each pack.
“Ugh don't remind me ‘werewolf school’ whose bright idea was that again?” my voice dripping with sarcasm looking over at James, as I flop back on to my bed.
James only rolls his eyes , he has been working for the last One and a half years on this to protect our kind as we normally shift at the age of Fourteen and start to become more temperamental and we also leave school early at Seventeen or we tried to but now we can so we can focus on training more. Sitting up
“ Get out I need to look good for my mate today is my birthday or did you guys forget?”
I say earning myself some deep growls from each of my brothers, as much as they have protected me and all the years of training i've gotten they still don't want any wolf taking me from them and I agree with them I hate the idea of leaving my home behind even if its not felt like a home for the last Two years I still loved it and it remind me of Father everyday. As they leave I walk into my bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the impending day ahead of me. I pull out the mental file I have made for the day to go over it again.
MOON PRIDE PACK - Onehundred and fifty STUDENTS
SHADOW BANE PACK-Fifty STUDENTS
EVERCREST PACK-Fifty STUDENTS
NIGHT KEEPER PACK- Twenty Five STUDENTS
WHITE PACK-Twenty Five STUDENTS
All good packs All having Alpha sons. Theo age Sixteen, Frank age Sixteen, Adam age Fourteen, Alex age Fifteen. I've met all of them in the last Two years some more than once, they are all strong and trustworthy allies.
Teachers are varied with what each pack could provide, with Sam voted as headmaster. The only thing that really sets my blood to boil is the Blood moon pack, the Rogues turned packs what a joke. Their “Alpha” if you can call that coward that is the Black wolf that killed my father he had no Beta or Gamma for the first Year and half as I had killed them that day they claim that they meant no harm and told my father as much but father started the fight anyway.
I have been asked many times to speak on what happened that day but I can't not yet . It's still too fresh for me to pick apart it all. I have denied the request to do the mind-meld that the Elders can perform to relive that day and give the answers needed Alpha Xaver had done it and the Elders accepted what he has said but will not share it with the rest of the packs till I approve the mind-meld also. I think that is one reason I refuse to do it. I am not ready to accept the truth or even know the truth and I want to keep the memory of my Father alive in my head.
Anyway they have no students this year as they are a fairly new pack and dont have the children numbers even the White pack holds. They agreed to host more of the teachers this year till they have students, all the Alphas ,with the exception of James, thought this was a good idea. I'll be fine as long as Alpha Xaver stays away from me, my brothers have devised a plan to keep my identity hidden from everyone.
I will not be Izabell Silver Alpha blooded from our pack but I'll be Izabell Sawyer Warrior Omega blooded from our pack, as I have been for the last Two years to anyone outside of our pack.
Our father had kept me a secret even before his death. He feared something would happen to me, that I would be targeted as a mate or a possible mate and be taken away like a piece of meat. A shiver runs through my body as I am walking down the stairs to go meet everyone ' No more thinking about that now.' Sally says trying to cheer me up. ‘Today is going to end badly ’ is all I can say in response to Sally, as I leave the house maybe for the last time depending on what happens today, I sigh and close the door behind me saying a silent good by to the life I once knew.
