The Hidden Female Alpha

Chapter Two

When morning comes I wake up on the floor remembering what happened last night. I'm glad that I dont have to see anyone until after school since everyone has already left for the day. I hop in the shower and ruthlessly try scrub the memories of the night away. After I get ready for school I go to the kitchen and clean the dishes from this morning. I'm glad they dont really eat breakfast it means less time I have to interact with them and less dishes to do. I look at the time and realize it's almost 8am, school starts in 30 minutes so I rush out the door and begin my 2 mile walk to school. When I get school I rush down the hall to get to my first class on time only to be tripped by the schools mean girl squad. Julia, Gina, and Christine are the populars and they always choose me to torture. As if I don't get enough at home. Out of nowhere I feel this rush of pure rage flow through me. I usually ignore the trio and wait for them to leave so I can get up and go to class but today is different. I quickly get to my feet turning to them, my hands are shaking with fury. What the hell is wrong with me! I can't focus on anything but this anger. I look to them and hear a low growl come from my lips. Did that actually just come from me? Julia, Gina, and Christine all turn and look at me with disgust. "Whats wrong with your eyes freak?" Gina asks. The bell rings snapping me out of my angry fog and I just turn and run out the doors. I'm shaking and don't understand what just happened to me. What did she mean about my eyes? I'm freaked out, pissed off and can't be around these people today. I walk away from school and head to my secret place. After walking for about and hour I get to the edge of the woods and start running to my favorite place. After another hour of running and walking I get to the little meadow covered in wild flowers with the a creek running through. This place makes me feel calm and I've never seen anyone come here so it's my hiding place from the world. I place my backpack down and rest my head on it careful of the tender spot and just stare up at the clouds. I wake up startled and panic now that I see it's dark out. Oh no, I'm going to be in so much trouble I can't believe this is happening. I grab my backpack and rummage through it for the broken watch I found a few years ago. It still ticks even though the glass is broken. I look to see it's already 11:47 at night. I'm so screwed I'll be in the most trouble I've ever been in. I jump up and grab my bag as I start walking out of the meadow towards the woods. No sense rushing to get there when I'm already in deep s**t and going to get the beating of a life time. I start the long walk back towards the town. I pause to check the time again and see its 11:59. In 1 minute it will officially be Thursday and I'll be 18 years old. I take a moment and wish myself happy birthday at the stroke of midnight. I begin walking again and start to get hot. I feel myself sweating and burning up when the pain starts. This isn't like the pain of being beaten or r***d, this is different. As the pain gets worse I fall to the ground sweating and screaming as I feel my bones breaking. What's wrong with me I think to myself when I hear a voice in my head "Don't worry sweetie everything is going to be just fine, you can trust me I will keep us safe". As more of my bones crack I feel like I'm going to pass out. "Whats happening to me?" I ask myself. "Well we're shifting for the first time" the voice says to me. "Shifting? What does that mean? I don't understand" I cry out. "Into a werewolf silly. I'm Amber your wolf, I'm so glad to finally meet you" she says." As my bones are breaking I see hair erupt all over my body and feel my face elongate as my bones start to reform. I close my eyes begging for the pain to go away. After what feels like days of excruciating pain I open my eyes and start to get up. As I look around I see shredded clothes all around me and I realize they're my clothes. I slowly looks down toward my feet only to see huge black paws. I feel myself starting to panic when I hear Amber's voice "calm down Ginny, I know this is a lot to take in. I can feel you're scared but you're safe and I can help protect you now". "I thought werewolves were a fairytale" I say to her. "Oh no we are very real and usually live in packs under an Alpha. Speaking of packs where is ours?" asks Amber. "I don't know what you mean by that, I was found abandoned as a newborn in the woods about 80 miles north of town by a group of hikers that took me to an orphanage. I've been in foster care all my life" I explain. I feel the sorrow she feels hearing my words. After awhile of talking I feel really comfortable and closer to Amber. She explains to me all about wolves, and how we're one soul and connected through the moon goddess. The only thing she wouldn't tell me about is called mating and she told me it'd be better if my 'mate' explained it to me. Our mate, which is the other half of our soul, is usually found after our 18th birthday and the one we are given from the moon goddess to be our soul mate. They're supposed to love us unconditionally and protect us. "So you're telling me I can turn into a wolf whenever I want?" I ask. "Yes, and we're especially strong because we are special and different from the other wolves" amber tells me. "What do you mean we're special and different from other wolves?" I ask. "You'll find out soon I promise" said amber. Well at least we don't have to run away anymore I laugh to myself and I hear Amber chuckle in my mind. After talking together for another hour I feel exhaustion creeping in. "Sleep now Ginny, and I'll wake you in the morning" said Amber as she starts to hum to me.
