Rejected By The Alpha

CHAPTER TWO

Tonight I was not just going to be a witness but I was also going to be part of it. Few hours to midnight, we had to be moved to the shadow mountain.

Although the transformation was unavoidable, it must be under a full moon. One of the generals stepped into the orphanage. For some reason I can't tell he knew all who were due for the lycanthropy. After looking at us with anger and hate filled in his eyes he said “you worthless bastards, you all should die.You all are just a waste of bloodline. That's why you worthless parents could not survive”.

This word echoed in my ears a dozen times to unlock memories of my parents. Although I was so young I could not remember their faces but I remembered a flash of how we played together, how they worked on their farm and made me watch them. At first I thought they were mere hallucinations but they made me know that they were my memories.

No one however dared say a word. with this he matched us to our ride. After about half an hour we got to the shadow mountain. Its sight was unbelievable. It was like a whole new place on a mountain which I had only heard in stories. We were then taken to a chamber where we will take off our clothes.

I wasn't sure at first why we were asked to remove our clothes despite the gender mix. I hesitated but had no option. You can't change with your clothes on. That was the idea I gave myself to take my clothes off. Our clothes were taken away and we were given some clothes to cover ourselves with.

This was part of the lifestyle I would be getting used to. Nudity was not a thing of concern, after all we are also part animals. It was only normal to be naked after a change. it was not freakish but male and female.

Things as werewolves were not the same as humans. As I sat there with the others I saw two werewolves fighting as if they were going to kill each other. These wolves were the men who brought us here. They were talking to each other before all of a sudden the taller one who was said to be in charge started raising his voice.

Their eyes turned amber and their voices intensified. It was as if they were fueled by their range. No one tried to stop them. They paid no attention to the both of them. Soon, all hell was let loose. They transformed into herculean and vicious wolves. As they fought they stumbled on the area. The wolves are out of the bag the others said with a smile.

Soon after, they walked back laughing and talking with each other. At first I couldn't comprehend what was happening. The two men who went cat and dog on each other now acted like nothing had happened. The only explanation for this was the behaviour in animals. They often settled their disputes through fighting. This was also visible between mates. I have seen this in the past but I didn't understand. Looking at the scenario now it made much sense.

Sitting there waiting for the next phase of my awakening, I felt a hand on my back. Being startled, my heart sank. I nearly missed a heartbeat only to see Ralph. He was always at the orphanage. He was there to be a constant reminder that we were of no good.

“Know this, " he said , looking directly at me as if to make a point. Even after this you are not different from the worthless girl I know from that orphanage. This word left me defenseless. The sensation I felt was heart-rending. His words seem to have gotten into me. All my life Ralph has been a constant reminder of my misery. I had never allowed his insignificant words weigh me down and I was not about to start.

“Get your hands off my shoulders”, i said to him trying not to flinch. This gave me a level of confidence looking him directly in the eyes. Where I got the boldness I had no idea but all I knew was I possessed an aura I never thought I had. I could see the shock and disbelief on his face. I could bet he never saw that come. This however instigated some level of loath he showed before altering a word. His face turned grim, filled with anger. “I see, replied. His expression, motionless. I didn't pay any attention to that. Just on leaving he said, “know this, after all this drama you are coming with me and stumbled out.

I paid no attention to his words this time. Some minutes later, as midnight drew near. All werewolves in the pack were all coming to witness the awakening including the next alpha of the pack and his general. He indeed possessed the traits of the alpha. Not only does he stand out in the physique. He is also one of the biggest wolves in the pack. There is no harm in saying that he was indeed handsome. He was a little above six feet. He had a well defined jawline accompanied by his natural long black hair. His brawny nature was so defined and attractive. Meanwhile his pride was on the chart which made me wave those thoughts of mind. it wasn't even possible in the first place.

As the moon was becoming clearer and more people filled the awakening area, we were given a strange substance to drink. it was viscous and had an offensive odour. I couldn't take such a thought. I hesitated for a few seconds seeing all my companions taking theirs nonstop. I was left staring at them with the substance in my hand. Not till a voice snapped my back into reality. “And what are you waiting for, " he said, looking at me with murderous intent. I had no choice but to gulp the strange fluid. At first, it tasted like honey. After some time it became acrid. After a few seconds, I felt a slight sign of dizziness. My head began to spin and my vision became blud. I could hardly alter a word as it burnt down my throat like acid. On getting into my stomach I felt the burning sensation in my stomach travelling through all my nerves. It was like the substance was poison and I could feel my intestines being torn to shreds. I groaned but still could not move my body. In a short time, I felt like I was in a state of paralysis. My body suddenly didn't want to follow me. I tried all I could but it didn't work . I managed to see the other people with me but they too stayed immobile. They had suffered the exact thing I had. I heard their groaning right before they became unconscious. I was much too weak to react. I could only lay motionless, waving in and out of consciousness.
