The Human Alpha

Chasing the Wind

"Come closer and see for yourself Titronians,feel the joy of owning one of these, most friendly of all the animals, a unique breed from a tiger and some pure secret, grab your today" a seller at the market shouts loudly and it is noisy everywhere.

"Come here young girl, would you like this adorable kitten, look it's no ordinary kitten, look, it got wings too" he takes out a kitten from the back and shows it to Ana, she had always wanted a pet and by the look of things, she could not resist the kittens smile.

"Oh my, is it a girl" Ana asks as she tries to take hold of it.

"Of course it is girl, her name is sprinkles but you can give it whatever name you wish little girl" he says as he pets it, the seller was so pushing and now Ana holds the kitten trying to have a good look at it, the seller goes on attending to other customers as he gives Ana some time to decide, she looked so interested in the kitten and he would not let her leave without buying it.

"Mmmh, look at you, would you like me to take you home with me, huh? You are so adorable" she says to the kitten.

"Haven't made your mind yet? Look, the line is long, do you want that lady over there to take sprinkles with her or you are going to make your mind right now?" the seller asks as he points at a woman who has been watching Ana and the kitten all along.

"No, get away from me man, you are so close, and your breath smells so bad, she is mine" Ana arrogantly tells the annoying seller, he was speaking straight to her ears and he really looked awkward, his long hair and nose piercing was making Ana sick, she just wanted to buy the kitten and walk away from him.

"How much for her mister, you are really making me sick, I have to get going" Ana asks him as he was still handing some change to a customer.

"Well not much little girl, what do you have?" he asks as he smiled broadly, he was missing a tooth and this made him really look funny.

"Well I have something, come closer" she says to him and takes off her back pack.

"Hey, you are too close lady" a teenage girl was standing behind her, she moves aside and walks away as Ana goes ahead to open her bag, she notices it was half open, quickly looks inside it and the seller joins in.

"Show me what you got girl" he says as Ana searches inside the bag for the tranquin, she was willing to trade it for the kitten but now she can't find it.

"I swear to god it was in here" she says as she looks deeply in the bag.

"You are wasting my time girl, give me that" the seller says and takes the kitten from her hands, Ana struggles and she doesn't let go but the seller was too strong, he takes the kitten and puts her back in her cage.

"Next time you should be well prepared before you waste my time" he says to her and goes on with his business, Ana's eyes are now filled with tears, she cries as she walked away, not believing how the tranquin could have been stolen miraculously, she then stops for a while.

"She was the one, that teenage girl, she stole it" she says and throws down her backpack.

"There she is" Alex says as he runs towards her sister followed by Zeus.

"Give it to me Ana, I know you have it, don't waste my time" Alex says as he picks the backpack and looks inside, her sister still crying.

"Where is it Ana, enough with your stupid games!!" he shouts at her and holds her tightly, he was now getting impatient and really thinks he should be hitting her by now.

"Calm down man" Zeus joins in and bends down to talk to Ana who was still in tears and now he knew something was not right again.

"You don't know him Zeus she is my sister, I know her better, she is such a drama queen, give me the tranquin or I will beat it out of you" he shouts at her and Zeus tries to stop him from touching her.

"What happened Ana, calm down and tell me, where is it, it's not safe for you to be walking out with it you know, you shouldn't have stolen it from your brother in the first place" Zeus says calmly and tries to convince her to speak. Alex stands behind, fuming in great anger, not believing every single thing that was happening right now, there parents would definitely be looking for them at any moment and he had no explanation for all these and now that his dad was suspecting him, he knew he could be grounded for so long if he ever found out what was going on.

Ana tells Zeus everything she thought had happened, she knew the girl standing behind her took it and that's all. Zeus chooses to go and confront the seller, he was always fearless and was not going home without finding the tranquin.

"Hey man, heey! Am talking to you" he shouts at him.

"What?" he shouts back.

"You saw teenage girl standing behind that young girl, can you describe her to me" he asks him.

"Get the f**k out of here you piece of s**t if you are not buying anything" he says to him and within no second, Zeus was holding him tightly by the neck.

"I don't know man, I see a lot of people, I don't know jeez, get the f**k off me man" he says to Zeus and he lets him loose.

"Anything wrong here?" a guard was standing next to them.

"Nothing sir, nothing" Zeus answers as he walks away.
