The alpha, the sultan and the omega

Changes.

One day you woke up and realized that you'll end losing everything if you didn't change and then started changing.

.

.

.

Her name is Emma Collins. She used to be a student in the third semester of economics. She has twenty years and she was turned out into a werewolf by sixteen. She still can remember the pain of the bite and her first transformation as well, even her first heat as a female wolf. She thinks it sucks. Her former alpha named Farrell Collins was her dad, sort of, a stupid and alcoholic old man that made what he wanted to the pack. Her mother was missing since the day she was bitten.

She's almost sure that's the exact time when her mother disappeared. The two of them were walking by the forest when two wolves attacked. At least, they attacked her but her mother wasn't there anymore. No one knew what happened to her. But the pack of her stepfather Farrell was on guard and they saved her by taking her with the old man, that's why he bit her. So she could survive.

Being beta there is not like being beta in her new pack, she had that clear. There was a huge difference between both packs. Not just because her new pack belongs to the royalty but in her former pack the people didn't matter if the alpha was okay. That was the reason she became a beta and had to fight back to be the right hand of the alpha, to make the pack stay good. They would be starving again since she wasn't there anymore.

That made her cry.

—So here is where you were —she heard a voice that makes her up immediately. It was the sultan Reyham entering the room where Gale give her classes, she bowed and looked with curiosity the pregnant one—. What were you doing in here, woman? You haven't end washing my carpets.

—I did it, they're drying on the garden —she answered—. I'm waiting for Gale to begin my classes. Before I have to train with Gillian.

Gillian is a loyal guard with black hair and eyes, a warrior with too much vitality and strength. He was the one in charge of training the novices and everyone else in the palace. He used to propose both physical and mental exercises.

—Oh —the woman looked upside down—. Have you seen Keneth?

—He was with Idris on the training field if I recall —she responds automatically.

Gale told her that the sultan Reyham didn't stop looking for her. She considers Emma a threaten and that's why she had near all the time, she didn't understand why as well but it let her be. With the change of pack and the trauma caused by that her heat was suspended and that means that the sultan shouldn't be worried about her entering the sultan's bedroom. At least not in the first months, because when stopped being the omega, she could be really good competition.

—Very well, go and tell them that I'm looking for him. Tell him to go to my chambers as soon as possible —she ordered with a sufficient smile. She was about to tell her that she wasn't going to do what she orders but bit her tongue and smile, bowing her head while getting out of the room.

Of course, she was going to the training field. Iris told her that the sultan will be there by afternoon, so she walked out calmly by the harem before crossing the palace to the garden, and then she gets into the training field. As the brown-haired man said, his majesty and two guards of his trust were there, looking at the soldier's train.

—With your permission —she gets into the view, with her blushed cheeks and her eyes staring at the floor—, the sultan Reyham asked for your presence, sir Kenneth. She claims it's urgent.

—Something bad happened? —that was the voice of the sultan.

—I... I don't know that, your majesty.

—Very well, I'll go right away —Kenneth put his hand on her shoulder and she looked at him surprised—. Could you stay here for a moment? I gotta make sure the sultan is okay but I don't find Gale.

—Oh, of course —she smiled at him.

She could feel the look of the blonde burning her skin like the sun over them while Idris was looking at her curious with a smile that he knew something that she ignored. They didn't speak, just stayed there for a while, at least until her view was over a beautiful black haired woman with the skin shiny from sweat. She didn't carry an umbrella or anyone to protect her and walked with the head up and the hands over her pants. 

It was a really good view of her. Since she looked good in so simple clothes.

Pants. She wrinkled her nose. She knew that the alpha could do what she wanted but she envy her as well, since every woman alphas, betas, and deltas could use pants if they wanted. Instead, she has to use dresses, yes, they were too cute but not too practicals. Even if she could change in the training, it wasn't enough.

—¡Soleil! —she heard the sultan shouting and her ears jingled. She was practicing using the ears every time but still couldn't control it.

The black hair woman just turns her face a few inches to make him see that she was listening.

—Come sit here with us —said the blonde with a happy face. The alpha just looks him and then she started walking without even denying his petition. That was shocking somehow but she knew that she hadn't to said a thing—. Ah, she's always like that. Isn't Soleil too dry?

She took a few minutes to notice that he was asking her, she believed it was for Idris but no, she didn't know what to say. Nervous, she knows that they could hear her heartbeats. 

—Don't feel nervous —perhaps he could read her mind—, I don't bite —smiled—, not technically. I mean, agh, don't mind me. What's your name?

—Emma —answered immediately. At least she still was able to connect two per two.

—Well, Emma. Why don't you come over here and speak with me for a while? I sent Gale to the market in the town so he's going to take a while... Weirdly, you weren't advised —he put a thinking face and then smiled, touching the place next to him—. Come here.

She looked for the eyes of Idris and when he affirmed with his head like giving her permission, she sat next to the sultan. And try to control her heartbeats, was so close to the smell of vanilla and cinnamon. She never liked that smell before but for some reason, the sultan made them the pest existing perfumes. Of course, she was using perfume for her first time in the harem since they bathed her to take her off the smell of her former alpha. Then when the alpha smelled her, the perfume of Sultan Soleil was impregnated in her. 

—Tell me about you, Emma —the sultan requested.

—Ah, I'm not very interesting, your majesty —she bit her lips.

—Bah, don't be so modest. You sure are, you're here with the sultan of sultans, give more credit to you, please —he smiled—. Come on, tell me.

—Am... I am... I was a student from economics, third semester —she commented. Noah raised his eyebrow and she turned her head. The blonde just looked at Idris—. Whats's wrong, your majesty? Did I say something bad?

—Did you leave college?

—Well, now I'm here and...

—Oh. You think you're in jail —the blue eyes were so intense that made her feel awkward. Then he noticed and put his hand on her shoulder to calm her down—. I thought you weren't a student. Maybe it was the summer or you were kidn*pped. 

—The didn't kidnap me —she frowns —, your majesty.

The sultan raised his eyebrows, surprised.

—Oh, that's good —smiled—. Tell me then, why haven't you been to class?

—I... I don't get it, I can o? —she asked again.

—We still haven't got to that part, your majesty —a third voice interrupted and she saw the red-haired man with the cheeks red and a neck towel, he was tired. When the blonde turn to see him, the man reverenced—. It's been two days since she came, I'm going slow with her. It's a lot to explain.

—You could start with this, the poor girl thought she was recluded in our territory for the rest of her life. 

Emma was speechless. 

—I was thinking in talk about her study and the rest this afternoon when you sent me to the town. I heard for the master that no one informed miss Emma I wasn't here —he apologized to her and sighed—. Well, shall we go now?

—Oh, yes. Your majesty —she got up and bow him—, if you excuse me.

—Go ahead —he smiled, allowing her to go, while he looked at the front with a thinking face again. Emma would like to be there and give him money just to know what he was thinking. But she couldn't because the green-eyed walked too fast.

—Explain me, please —she asked.

He saw her sideways.

—We're in the 21 century —he said—, of course, you're able to do your own life as normal as you can. I already told you about the palace, the harem, de sultan, and the pack. Now I'm going to talk to you about you.

Emma just affirmed her head and said no more. When they went into the palace, cross the hallway of the harem, passed the sliding door to the classroom, and then the other door that introduce to the room where Gale gives his classes. They sat, he on the desk and she in front of him, in another desk smaller than his. He gave her a sheet.

—Tell what you do —he said.

—What do you mean?

—Oh, I'm asking you before you came here... What did you do normally?

The way he talked to her bothered her but she tried that it didn't notice, so just pursed his lips and started writing what she usually did. Beginning with the training in the pack six to seven am, her breakfast at the nearest dinner, her college classes from eight to ten in the morning, archery practice ten to ten-thirty, and her break for snacks. She wrote that she bathed twelve to one o'clock and then had lunch. If she had some time free, she watched tv or read something light, other days just run, plus she waited to meet with the pack and then spent the rest of the day with the little wolves. Then back to her home, feed her cat, and fell asleep. All-day, all days. 

—A cat?

—Of all the things... What you recall is the cat? —she questioned incredulously, the man just shrugged his shoulders—. Just because I'm a werewolf doesn't mean that I can't like cats. Do you know?

—I'm not saying anything —he smiled and continued reading—. What college, and career?

—North college and economy —she was proud. Then an idea crossed her head and he looks at Gale, could notice he was going to say something but she interrupted—. Where did the alpha go? I mean, his highness, this afternoon —she had that question in mind.

The one with green eyes just opened and closed his mouth, thinking.

—No one knows that —he answered—, every afternoon she just gets out from the palace in her human shape and doesn't get back until night. 

—And she just goes out like that? —she shook her head—. I thought the woman didn't have... Well, since she's the alpha I think that doesn't apply to her but... You know, guards o someone to protect her.

—She is the most strong warrior in here, she has enough protection by herself —he was sure.

To Emma, it was surprising how much they trusted her. Yeah, the alpha always is the most powerful and strong wolf but... It was hard to accept it. Also, there could be someone who defeats her, she was not invincible.

—Anyway, we've never run into you —he took off his glasses and she narrowed her eyes—. We all go to the same college, lady.

—For real?

—Yeah, the sultan and the alpha too —he added—. We never felt your smell before. How's that possible? If you're in the third semester, it's impossible. Were you in the interchange or something?

—Oh, yes —she smiled—, I've been in the north for a couple of weeks. I used to study in the south with my pack but there was a problem with someone and I got transferred. So you guys go to a college too, huh? I thought with an empire like this, you don't... Well, you know.

—Ah, it's easier to keep up appearances this way —he commented—. I'll explain to you deeper about the pack and the sultans before we talk about your study and free hours. Okay?

—Okay —she settled in her seat—, tell me about the royal family. What's the alpha relation?

Gale scratched this neck.

—Hard theme —he looks at the ceiling—. Lucky you, we suspended your training today, that way you can learn everything you need. The Saturday and Sunday you'll train, but you probably start your study with us again.

—So even as omega we can do that —she sighed. That was good.

—Not the omegas of the harem, they take care of the palace always. The omegas from other packs in here had total freedom to leave our territory while they don't break the rules, and the betas and deltas too.

—Why could I if I'm staying in the harem as an omega?

—You're a different case, you just arrived here and don't belong here your entire life, you had another life before us and we don't pretend to take it away from you —he explained. Emma was happy that she could see her friends and continue studying—. Like the alphas, the outside omegas can choose to stay here only o go out and have a double life. It's heavy, I warn you.

—I can do it. 

He laughed and gave her a new sheet, so she knew the class already started. While he was telling her about the Autumn family and their ancestors she understood a lot of things, like the origin of the empire. They used to be a nomadic herd, they came and went too many times, living in harmony with nature and sometimes with the humans, until they were bound to settle down. They adopted the system of the sultanate by the ambition of Gigan Autumn, the first sultan of the herd. Then they began to expand, took the whole north forest, and made the palace. 

The lineage of the alpha was the original Autumn, which made her technically the official sultan by bloodline. Emma didn't understand why.

—I don't get it if she has the bloodline. Why is Noah the sultan? 

—It's complicated —Gale looked over the window. There they could see the personal training field of the alphas, where the sultan was fighting with Kenneth, without a shirt. That was a distraction for Emma too—. I guess I can tell you this.

She looked at him.

—The family Autumn, the family of the sultan Soleil and our herd, has been royal all the generations —he said—, the last sultan was her older brother, and the alpha too. She was engaged to Noah, but they don't have that kind of relationship.

—How is she get the throne then? If her older bro...

—A duel to the death for power —he responded and before she could say anything, he denied it with his head—. Don't ask too much about this, I shouldn't even tell you. The alpha doesn't like to hear about this but you look interested, maybe the sultan tells you someday. I've seen how you look at him.

She got blushed.

—When the sultan Soleil ascended as alpha made Noah the sultan. She didn't want to be royal, so the empire accepted Noah as the sultan and his highness Soleil as their alpha. That's all —.

—And yet they study out there... How's that even possible? I thought they didn't go out.

—They don't use to —he said—, it's just a screen. Master Soleil had a life before being an Alpha.

—But you said she born as a princess, she's from the lineage.

Then a shadow made the green eyes darker and he raised.

—The class is over, go to the harem and sleep weel —he orders her, making her tense—. For your own sake, I hope that you keep there. Don't go out of the palace and don't talk to anybody.

Emma couldn't say anything else because he pushed over and closed the door. With her pride, she just frowns and went straight to the harem. He didn't dare to answer her questions and that made her angry. Then one scent crosses her nose when she was entering the harem.

«Kendra».

—I hope you don't get too attached to that girl —the woman came out of the shadow and look at him, she takes off her coat—. I'm telling you, her stay is dangerous here —she started undressing. The beta just raised his shoulders while looking at each garment in his hands. Then she turned into a big wolf and came out—. Where is he? —the wolf growled. 

Lucky for them, they understand the language.

—The sultan went over there —he informed, knowing about who was talking—. Do you think he came to fight? 

—If that's so, we'll fight back —she growled again, raising her shoulders and walking slowly. The red hair man was behind her while walking to the alpha's training field. One of their entries was intervened by a smelly south wolf. She raised her snout and Gale smiled. 

It smelled too bad, even for him who hadn't transformed.

—I recommend you not to fight. If you get into a fight, our sultan is going to do it too —said Gale.

—Don't let that happen —she growled again, starting to walk faster.

Gale stayed quiet while watching that amazing and big wolf walking with such elegance. Over there the smelly brown-haired wolf was too small for them. He saw too the sultan and Kenneth next to Idris just standing in front of him with their human shapes while stopping him. The alpha howled and everyone looked at him, making space for her to pass. Noah was looking her firm.

—I had it all controlled —said the sultan with a cute pout. 

He understands, if someone gets into their territory or they went out as alpha, she must stay in that shape, even if she then gets too tired. The alpha growled.

—You're kidding —she said. The blonde just smiled happy.

The brown wolf just turns into a human and his naked body was covered by his trench coat. They all looked at him. He was hurt, even if they already knew it. He suffered a terrible wound on his arms and had lots of bites and scratches around his entire body, at least.

—What are you doing in our territories? —the blonde repeated the questions he made before the interruption of their alpha, making his face look too serious. The guy just smiled and held his wounded arm with his other hand.

—I came... for my friend —he wheezed softly.

Noah just raised his eyebrows, surprised. He was able to recognize that guy even with the smell of dirt and blood impregnated him, but he didn't expect that was the reason. For a while, he believed they sent him to their herd to start a war or something. But they didn't care for the girl at all.

—Who sent you? —he questioned.

—I came by my own —he coughed.

—Why are you hurt? —the growl of the alpha paralyzed him, even if he didn't want it to. His eardrums vibrated at the sound and he looked at the wolf back, those red eyes staring at him without mercy and causing him to shiver.

—They didn't want me to come, they said... it was treason. But I can't leave my friend in an unknown place with unknown people —he told—. You... you should leave her free.

—We don't have her captive or something —Noah laughed.

For the face that made the kid that wasn't too obvious as they thought, so the sultan stands in front of him. Kenneth and Idris growled softly, scaring the boy. More than he already was.

—She's all good, as you can see —he left the girl behind the shrubbery exposed, and she got scared. The blonde just stared at her—. Get out from there.

It didn't take her more than a second to jump out, no one was surprised by her presence, which means that she was already noticed a long ago. Kendra, instead, couldn't believe it. He told himself that he had never seen her wearing braids and dresses like a traditional woman, but there she was in front of him with those clothes, smelling of roses thanks to the perfumed bath and completely healed. Good, compared to the last time they had seen each other. The brunet's eyes twinkled.

—Emma —he swallowed.

—Kendra —she came closer to him and touched his face—. Why are you here? What did they do to you? Did he send you here? Tell me.

—No one sent me —the kid just closed his eyes, everything hurts by the moment and he didn't complain about the touch even if there was hurting him—, I came for you. I thought you would die or something worst.

—Be careful with what you say —she hit his shoulder—, you'll offend my alpha.

Kendra walked away with his eyes wide open.

—Your alpha? —he said, incredulous—. What do you mean with your alpha? Your alpha isn't this dog. 

That made everyone growled, but the alpha's howl was enough to make them quiet. She wasn't angry but if she has to kill him, she won't hesitate a second. So they keep quiet.

—Your alpha is Farrell —he proceeded.

—I'm sorry Kendra, I've already accepted his highness as my alpha —she said. Then looked at the big wolf with concern, the red eyes just looked so calm—. I'm not going back. You must go to your home and heal that wounds, you're bad. Tell me, who made you this?

—Farrell —he whispered.

Emma wasn't surprised.

—By Alla, what kind of herd is that? —Kenneth just looked at their alphas. 

It was for sure that the alphas of their pack were a blessing for the gods.

—Get him inside and heal his wounds —the alpha just howled, then go away. 

Noah looked how she left before doing a hand movement to the betas. Even he let Emma help that boy since he didn't want them to touch him. Soleil gets to the stables and entered where her clothing was saved and starts dressing when she transformed back to human. The pendant with the seal of his family was placed on the neck and the short hair was collected with a clip at the back. The pendant made her lemon and lavender scent disappear instantly, thanks to the cloaking spell it possessed.

—You know you don't need to use it —she didn't have to turn—. The guy fainted.

—It doesn't surprise me, he had terrible wounds —she gets out of the stables and faced the blonde with blue eyes—. Will you give him a place on the pack?

—You weren't going to do it? —he smiled.

—I still thinking. I don't wanna more south wolves in our territory.

—Hm, I did not remember that you were so territorial —he followed out the stables. She stopped her steps when heard someone was coming and hit her back against the man behind her. He was a few inches taller than her and they were enough to leave her ear too close to the lips of the sultan, who sighed in a smile—. I didn't have you so close for a while, Soleil.

Her back got tense and when she knew no one was coming she kept walking, away from him.

—How are Ayze and Narges? —she asked, to change the subject.

—They're very well —he affirmed with fun, his eyes didn't miss a thing with her majesty—. Aren't you going to ask me about Reyham? 

The black-haired saw him sideways.

—She's pretty good, each day walks over to my room and lets her pheromones out to rub in my face that you have made her pregnant again —growled—. I don't need to ask you about her. I see her more time than you, sultan.

That was mean, he pouted.

—What you can tell me about the new girl?

—She's really cute. Do you want her? —she looked at him.

Noah frown, thoughtful.

—I can make the arrangements if you want it to. Just tell me if you want her on heat or earlier, I heard she was stunned for all the things that she went through-

—Do you want her?

The alpha stopped.

—If I want her? —she laughed.

—You said she's really cute and you know about her —he raised his shoulders.

—It's my duty as alpha to keep an eye on everyone, now she belongs to it —she sighed—. For her and the pack's safety, I must watch her. Have you seen his friend just running over here? He probably followed the track of her dry blood and... There could be more out there.

She turned with a cold expression. 

—If they threaten us, I'll be the first to know —he said—. That way I can take the necessary measures to protect our herd, meanwhile, you can keep making babies in your harem. If you excuse me, your majesty.

With that bold tone, she finished the conversation and went over to the castle. The guards of the door let her in and the blonde didn't move a muscle. He got hot while she was talking to him like that, a smile extended over his face before he entered the palace too and he walked over to the harem where he could smell roses. 

It wasn't hard to find here. She was sitting next to the human with brown hair that was laying in the room where she received classes while Idris and Gale were taking care of him. Kenneth on the other hand was looking at the door and was the first to notice his presence.

—How is she? —he asked the sultan.

—Scared —he whispered to the silver hair and then look quiet the boy, raising his voice for everyone to hear him, even the girl—. Find him a place to stay in the palace, if it's necessary make him sleep here and then... He must decide. If he wants to, we'll welcome him to our pack.

—Your majesty, I apologize for this, I feel it's my fault. Kendra was a novice and he...

He raised his hand making stop her.

—You shouldn't worried about, we can smell he's new in this —he said—. How long? Three months?

—Six.

—Is your friend? —questioned then, with his blue eyes over her.

She affirmed her head.

—The only one and I know that you said he's gonna recovery and stay but... If he gets looked at too? I don't want the pack having troubles because of me —she was afraid. Her pheromones bothered everyone, making them tense. That damn need to give her protection made the blonde get near to her and smiled.

—Don't worry. Right here the only person why we have problems is Sawyer —he said.

She smiled, even if she didn't have an idea of who the hell was Sawyer.

Again, she learned much more in a very one day.
