Silver's Heart

Chapter 3

Alpha Jack's POV

"Enzo, how's the cabin my the boarder looking?" I asked my only trust worthy informant. I grew up with Enzo and know he is a good guy but rogues attacked him while one of his first transformations so he wasn't able to become a warrior for this pack. I made sure he would always have a job. His job only works because he blends in with the rest of the common people. My Beta doesn't even know about this. I trust no one. If anyone finds out this will come back and likely be my demise and I have worked to hard for that!

"It still appears to be two wolves and a human. The smell is thrown off a little, it seems like one of the wolves hasn't shifted for years. Its almost like the wolf is gone. My son Oscar has been keeping a closer eye on the young wolf. He thinks I don't know but whenever he can he goes to see her. I can try to get more information from him sir," Enzo told me. I don't check in with Enzo nearly enough. I think it looks shady to be making calls like this too often. The last time I checked in was two years ago. The young wolf was a year past her transformation. Do I want more information on her? I am trying to protect her. No one knows about her, she has to be safe. She even has a stupid human living there. They seem like the little family she needed. I don't think I like Enzo's son running around with her. She needs to stay away from the pack or it was all for nothing. I hate this pup. I swear, no one else gives me emotions like this. I could care less about her mother who was actually my other half. I shouldn't care about her offspring.

"Enzo, no extra information is needed. Once Oscar turns 18 I expect him at the Pack House to become a warrior. If he isn't there, he is banished. This is a great honor and I know he will be an excellent warrior."

"Of course Alpha, he is excited. You should see him next week."

Veronica's POV:

"Oscar, are you scared to become a warrior? Like you're going to be putting your life on the line. You could die and I will never know. I will never see you again after next week."

Oscar commented back ", Silver this is an honor and I am so excited, but I secretly hope that I never have to go into battle. And you know you might see me again, I could always not pass training or come visit my parents and you."

He did have a point, this isn't forever, and he isn't that good of a fighter. What am I saying, I am so happy for him. I just will miss him. I also don't like the idea of him working under Alpha Jack. Okay the biggest fear is probably an uprising and he ends up on the wrong side. "What happens if there is an uprising in the pack like you feared about for the last year? Does that mean you will kill your neighbors? Hmm, do you think I'll be able to join. I'm clearly joking! kind of.."

"Girl, you're just trying to scare me now. You know I'd love to fight side by side with you, but you can't leave the house or who now what will happen. Anyway girls can't try to b a warrior until age 20."

He was right. He was always so smart. He use to tutor me because I dropped out of high school but wanted to pass my GED. Its weird thinking he graduated last year and I would have been graduating this year. Life is changing and he's moving on without me. I am not jealous, I just feel stuck and it gets me so angry.

"I know you don't like Alpha Jack but it can't be that bad. This is probably how it is in every pack. I know every pack has to have warriors, so it might. I mean things could be worse. I heard Alpha Dex is the worst around, like way worse and takes down small packs for fun. You know the ones that don't side with him. I think I heard he's coming here to work out a treaty or something," Oscar explained.

I had a thought but it could be so reckless and crazy. I'm not saying I should start a war because I don't want anyone to get hurt. I can try to get this Alpha to make our Alpha change his ways or maybe I could just convince him to take me as his prisoner instead. "Oscar, you're going to be great. I am so proud of you. You have always made me think and helped me believe in myself. You're terrific. Gosh Ily!! Also can you find out exactly when this other Alpha is coming to town?"

"Veronica, darling, can you come here," yelled my mother. I really don't even know why she tries to talk to me anymore, Larry always butts in and finishes telling me whatever it is. "Is it weird to say some times I miss my relationship with my mom?" I thought to myself. "V, you never had a relationship with your mom. She sucked then and now. I'm pretty sure she is just as present now maybe more now that Larry is around," Trixie commented. I hate when Trix is right, one of these days I'm going to have prove her wrong. It is a good way to play devils advocate though. "Mom?"

"Oh yes, you are seventeen now," she babbled.

"Mom, my birthday was two months ago, it was no big deal.." Did she really forget my birthday? I mean I didn't expect much but two months late is kind of ridiculous. Larry gave me a gift of the silver arm band and cartilage piercing. I couldn't wait to get rid of the arm band but this piercing wont come out. Wow I've been wearing this silver for two months, when did I stop feeling it? Trixie do you remember? "No I was wondering about that, I don't feel 100% but I do feel like I'm getting better every day." This is an interesting development.

"Mhmm, so you will need to start paying for things around here.You can either work with Larry or a job opened up at the Strip Joint. You should also start looking for your mate because you aren't getting any younger." Is she serious? A strip joint? I am literally too young to work there. That place is so gross they probably don't even check IDs. I am pretty sure that's where she met Larry. Both of these options are garbage. If I work with Larry, I'm pretty sure I will be in silver all day. "Mom, can I sleep on it and make a decision tomorrow? Both options just sound so amazing! I really might have a hard time choosing."

"Yeah, sure honey. Don't come out of your room until you've made a decision."

Little does she know, I've already made my decision.. Alpha Dex I'm coming for you, and I refuse to play these games anymore. Now to plan how this is going to go down. Trix am going to need you on this one.
