Eye of the Alpha

The new boys in town

Bea’s pov

After working all weekend on either school work or at my job in the casino. I am fully exhausted. No more has been mentioned of the sighting of strange figures, most likely they are keeping it under wraps. Thankfully it's getting warmer with going into spring from the harsh winter.

Also this week on Tuesday is my birthday, my real birthday not Bea's birthday but Elpis'. I'll be Turning 18 meaning that my full power potential will be unlocked. Though I don't really like using my powers as I promised Irène that we wouldn't use powers as it will draw attention to us. I haven't used them since, always too scared. Call me a coward. I am excited, but whenever I think of my birthday I am just reminded of that terrible day.

Drying off with the towel I collect some water with my hands taking a greed gulp. Putting on the dress I plait my hair into two plaits either side of my head. Backpack on I make my journey to dad's to be driven to school by Vincente.

In school it feels different like something is going on. Especially with all the girls. Wearing less clothing and more lipstick with too much biting of the lips. Though the clothing thing can be down to the weather heating up. Shrugging not off I walk to lesson, history.

Right okay so now I know what's going on, as I heard some girls behind me gossiping in history. So both the alpha from the blood moon pack and this pack have both turned 18 which means that they can now sense their mates and what not. That they will be now coming back to school from their alpha training. Apparently the alpha of this pack is part werewolf, part demon and one of the girls is very intrigued by this the other one likes Peter more. I didn't catch the name of the alpha here but I do know the last name is Benjamin I believe.

Lunch.

In the line for food two boys behind me were talking 'Any luck yet ?' The one right behind me said.

' No, you?' The one behind him said.

' No. You know that some don't find theirs till they are old, grey and wrinkled.' Behind me said.

' stop it! Peter.' Groaned the one behind him.

Peter is in the alpha, so the other one must be the alpha of this pack.

Too nosey in their conversation I didn't notice that I was at the end of the counter and clash! There goes my food on the floor mixed with a broken plate and an inside down blue tray.

'Oh I am so sorry!' I crouch down and start to pick out the piece of broken plate. Soon both boys were also there helping me clean my mess up. Red heat covered my face remembering these were soon to be alphas.

After the embarrassment I speed walk off out the cafeteria. Leaning against my locker. Sat on the cold school floor. A shadow covered me. 'Here.' I look up to see the soon to be alpha of this pack. 'Here take it.' He said again. This time I noticed his hand holding a chocolate chip cookie. Not wanting to anger him by refusing his generosity I took the cookie. After he sat next to me while he unwrapped a pulled pork with some gravy sandwich, mouth watering, I think he saw me staring as before I knew it he was handing me one of the two slices. ' oh no this is for me.' I said holding up the cookie.

'Take if you need to eat as well.' Putting the slice in my other hand. I broke the cookie in half.

' here.' I said placing it on his knee. A sweet innocent smile played on his lips. And nothing more was said.

'Mummy! Wake up, it's my birthday!' I jumped out of bed running to my mum's room. She's not there. Sprinting downstairs. 'Mum.. I am awake now!' Living room not there. 'Mummy?' Kitchen not there. Tears picked at my eyes and a sour taste made it to my mouth. 'Mum... ?' Walking back upstairs. Knocking on the bathroom door. Not there. ' Mummy, can you come out now? I don't want to play hide and seek. I want you. I want my mummy!' Sobs burst out of me 'mum I don't like this can you please just come out now, please' a huge lump stuck in my throat for eternity. 'Mummy!' I scream, ripping my vocal cords. Irène comes through the front door. 'Irène! Have you seen mum?' No answer, she just picked me up in her arms and hugged me walking me to her house. I clung my fingers around the front door frame of my house. ' I am not going anywhere! Not without mum. I want my mummy!' Not strong enough I ended up in Irène's house with her trying me to open my presents and for me to blow my candles out. Dry tears on my face.

Cold sweat covered me. Every night before my birthday that very same dream. That stupid recurring dream reminding me.

I have not celebrated my birthday since Irène got taken from me. It's just never the same. Putting my long t-shirt on and light blue ripped jeans I head off to another ordinary day of school. Making it to my locker the next thing I knew was the same boy who shadowed over me yesterday giving me his cookie. now stood opposite at the other lockers staring at me with another boy who I haven't seen holding him back. 'Mine!' He growled.

Ooh he most of found his mate, that's sweet. I wish annttunes had soulmates, well we do but not as powerful as werewolves. We can sense our soulmates at the age of 18 like most creatures though unlike werewolves we can't smell out our mates, but they will be alluring in every way to us, with their aroma included. The scene all reminded me of when Rico, Auntie's youngest boy, found his mate. Clara Little from a witch clang back all the way in Canada. They found each other when she and her friends came here for a holiday. Rico is in Canada with her at the moment but he is hoping she will move back here with him. I found myself staring at him, forcing my eyes away to look around at the werewolf girls. I wonder who it is. He would look great with a long haired brunette. While thinking that a feeling that I've never really felt so intensely came over me and I now hate that brunette that just walked by. My mind saying no she will look horrible with him, we are better. Surprised, I look away and rush to science class.

Taking my seat next to Lara. All three girls were staring at me. 'Is something wrong? Do I have something on me ?' I ask, looking down at my clothes.

'No!' They all shout. They turned to look at each other, not saying a word through the lesson, just occasional looks in my direction. Making me feel on edge and a bit uncomfortable. Walking out of the lesson down the corridor to my next one, people stared at me, some head bowing, smiles, whispers and some people calling me luna, I corrected them many of times saying my name is Bea not luna but they would just smile at me and continue to call me luna. What the hell is going on in this school? okay next lesson P.E. Once in the school gym uniform. Boys and girls go together outside. The boys playing baseball and the girls doing soccer.

Split into two teams, green and orange. I am on the green time with Carly, both Lara and belle are on orange. Halfway through the match a girl on the orange team kicks the ball and it flies right to my face.

Pain rushed through my body from my nose and right side of my forehead. tears instantly pricked my eyes. Down on the grass. I see everyone surrounding me. All blurring and muffled. One face standing out to me, the face of the next alpha of this pack. I should really learn his name and congratulate him on finding his mate. Then it went all black.
