Who am I
“Don’t give up Lettie!” my beautiful wolf Tundra howls in my head. “My goddess is this hellish obstacle course done yet. I’m not giving up T, we got this!” I respond to her, next thing I know Tundra excitedly yips in my head “He tapped out,Lettie!! Alpha Owen tapped out you’re the only one that has made it this far, and if we finish we will be the only ones in this generation to complete the Elite Alpha Training!” “T I need you to calm down and to figure out how to finish this. You’re kind of distracting me.” “Sorry Lettie, what do you need from me?” “We have to get across the river rapids then climb the pole to the top and ring the bell. Now dad let slip that the pole has push outs to make you fall. He also said that only one alpha has ever rang the bell and no one knows how he accomplished it!” “My advice Lettie, don’t get wet in the river. Wet hands for climbing are also a cause to fall. Wait! Look there Lettie to the left. That inlet. We can jump it. Just shift and I will do the rest. I will make sure your clothes come too.” “T you’re brilliant! Let’s get this over with, I’m ready to go home and see dad and mom it’s been 3 years!”
Shifting into my beautiful red wolf is as easy as breathing. Tundra is an ancient wolf. She is also known as a Dire wolf. We stand tall and shake out our fur. My green eyes, red fur, and creamy belly is a site that is both beautiful and terrifying. Tundra or T as I call her is as tall as a bull moose. Don’t ask how I know this. Let’s just say he didn’t even stand a chance. I have only ever heard of two other Dire wolves in history and I don’t think they were ancient wolves too. However, there is not much information about either. Lycan wolves are the only other wolves that compare to T’s height in their humanoid shift form but if they shift full lycan wolf they are smaller than Tundra’s height. But they are still bigger than wolf shifters. Tundra is extremely rare in the magical aspect as well. Being an ancient wolf means I am an elemental. I can control, manipulate, and augment everything around me. I have kept this part of myself a secret except for my friends and my soon to be beta Brandi. She passed her test this morning. Her brother Thomas is my Gamma and Eli is my delta. We have been inseparable since birth, and I would not have survived these past 3 years without them. I am the youngest by two weeks, Brandi and Thomas being the eldest as twins and Eli in the middle. So they are the only ones that know I have these powers and have helped me learn how to control the elements. My parents would have known, had we not gone to training the day before my 18th birthday when these powers were unlocked. With Tundra being an ancient dire wolf we were not subject to waiting until we were 18 to get each other. My earliest childhood memories have T in my head, but we didn’t fully shift till my 12th birthday. To which my father kept that hidden from everyone for my safety. The council doesn’t like change or anything they deem a threat. My size wolf already makes them uncomfortable and some down right hate the fact that a female has such a huge wolf. They also don’t understand why in my presence their wolves will submit to me, even the kings wolf. However, T being as perfect as she is.. talked to the kings wolf and asked him not to submit and create any issues. She also expressed that we were no threat to him or his throne and would like to continue to be great allies since my father and him were in this very training together and are close friends.
“Head back in the game Lettie.” I mumble to myself, while Tundra jumps the inlet like walking over a log. An alpha male shifter would be able to make this jump. However due to their height, they might not see enough to have the confidence needed to make the jump. For them, they would have to jump just right and it would be a blow to their over inflated ego’s if they didn’t land right. As I land on the other side of the embankment with ease, I have noticed that all 13 alphas are all watching us. I know Lettie hates shifting in front of others, especially strangers, and I know I could race up this pole and get the bell quickly to end this stupid game. Be that as it may, my strong willed human will want to be the one to complete this assignment so that no one can second guess her and our ability to be an elite warrior and alpha. I love her for that. My human counterpart has the heart of gold but ruthless when needed. My goddess paired me with the perfect counterpart balancing me in every way, I know that my magic and destiny is in perfect hands. “Lettie I’ll go in the bush to shift if you want”. “No T I will be ok they need to see that we are choosing to comply with their orders and not just taking the easy route.” Just before shifting back into Lettie, I watch her back by making sure that the repugnant alphas got a growl so deadly the hairs on their arms stand on end for looking at us in their disgusting and disrespectful manner. Lettie hurries to dress in her yoga pants and sports bra, except she keeps her t-shirt off. She starts to shred the top in strips and tie them together, good idea I encourage her. I become one with Lettie and she can use any power or any part of our strength to complete this. Like her, I want to go home it’s time for us to be who we’re supposed to be.
“Oh my god Lettie, we watched you on the CCTV. You rang the bell!!! No one has done that in over a 150 years!!!” Screams my beta Brandi when I walk into our corridor. “Congrats, Alpha Scarlet.” Eli said to my eye roll. He is the only one that still uses my full name and title in the privacy of us. I have asked him to just to call me Lettie and when we were kids at home he did. Here not so much. “Ok guys calm down we’re all done we can go home. I’m so ready but I need a nap. I was hoping to leave straight away but that test got me. I don’t think I’ll be able to ride out now.” I complained. “That’s ok Lettie we can leave in the morning and be there by the afternoon.” Thomas says. “I want to leave early. Let’s leave here by 3 a.m and be home for breakfast.” “You don’t want to celebrate with the others?” Brandi asks. “No, I’m not in the mood. I want to be home. You know I hate parties they throw around here. If you or the guys want to go by all means go, but be ready to leave at 3 and I don’t want to hear any complaining.” “No, Lettie we can celebrate with the important people when we get home.”
