The Rise Of The Alpha Female

Weird adjustment

As I was led out of the palace, towards the forest boundary between Iced-Crest Moon Park and the neighboring wolf pack, I turned back for one last look at my mother. Our eyes met, and I saw the tears flowing down her cheeks. My mother was sobbing silently, but I could only see this as my path to freedom. I was ready to discover my true self and put an end to the unhappiness I had lived almost all my life.

"I'm sorry, mother..". I whispered though I knew she couldn't hear me. I turned and walked away. Leaving the palace, leaving the pack, and my old life behind.

Standing in the forest, I looked around in what felt like fright. I was afraid of the unknown. The warriors who escorted me to the forest were long gone, I could only hear their laughter resounding in my ears as they abandoned me to my fate. I have been marked as a rogue by the AlphaKing's command, and now an outcast. A threat, to be eliminated on sight.

"This is my beginning..". I whispered to myself. "I will discover myself, and I will take over all that was stolen from me .". I muttered.

My voice was trembling with fear, but I was determined. With one last glance at the fading figures of the warriors, I stepped into the forest. The trees loomed tall and menacing, with their branches intertwining to form a canopy that blocked out the sun. The forest too, was alive with the sound of chipping insects and distant animal calls. The dried leaves under my foot were also rustling, their sound being my only company. But I still felt alone.

As I wandered deeper into the forest my thoughts turned to my father, Alpha Sapphire. Tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered his strong reassuring presence.

"Father, if you can hear me, please guide me..". I murmured, wiping away my tears.

"I need your strength now more than ever .". I added. Hoping my father could hear me.

And the moon goddess too. I wished she could come to my aid and help me resolve this mystery surrounding my life. I needed to know why I was different.

The sun was rapidly setting, and their long shadows were visibly cast across the floor of the forest. I knew I had to find a place to spend the night. A safe place, where I would not be eaten by a wild beast before morning. The thought of wild beast, and wandering wolves attacking me sent a cold shiver down my spine. But I pressed on, confidently driven by a fierce determination to survive.

The forest was now darker, and more foreboding. My legs too, ached. And my stomach growled with hunger. But I refused to give up. I cannot stop now, I had to keep going. Finally, I stumbled upon a small cave that was nestled between two large boulders. It wasn't much, but it would provide shelter from the dangers of the forest. I crawled inside, my body already weak with exhaustion. As soon as I rested my head to sleep, I dreamt of my father. He was walking into the cave where I was, and his eyes were filled with warmth and love.

"Father .!". I cried and ran to him. "You are back.!". I welcomed my father and embraced him tightly.

My father smiled at me and embraced me too.

"Naomi my dear, I have missed you so much .". He said. "But, why haven't you used the techniques I taught you? The strength you need is within you..". My father added. His voice was filled with emotions.

I looked up at him, confused.

"What do you mean, father? What strength are you talking about?". I asked him.

He was about to answer when a soft wind began to blow, and my father began to fade away with the wind. His form was dissolving into the night sky and it was as though he was transporting into the full moon.

"No, don't go please. I need you.!". I cried, reaching out my hands to hold him.

I ran after him, with tears streaming down my face. But he continued to drift away. I refused to give up and reached out to get hold of his dissolving shadow. But a strong hand grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back. I jerked and opened my eyes. A strange-looking man was squatting beside me, shaking me gently.

"Hey, are you alright?!". He asked. His voice was soft but urgent.

I blinked my eyes severally and tried to recall where I was. My surroundings felt strange, and I felt scared for a moment. I was with my father a few moments ago, why is this stranger standing beside me? I scanned my eyes around, it was morning already. And I realized the vision of my father was all a dream.

Fully awake now, I sat up. And looked at the man towering above me. At first glance, the stranger looked rugged and mysterious to me. His bright green eyes locked with mine, like he was trying to uncover my deepest secret. The morning light streaming into the cave highlighted his rugged features, reaveling a strength and toughness that demanded audible notice. His dark hair was mussed, and it framed his face with unruly waves. His jawline too, though sharp, was shaded days of stubble. He was wearing a simple outfit, a shirt, and a trouser that suggested countless adventures and a life spent traversing the forest. Despite this strange man's exterior, I could sense something unsettling and calm about him. He had this quiet confidence that put me on edge. Looking into my eyes, I suddenly felt transparent before the stranger. It was like he could see through into the depth of my very being.

At that moment, I couldn't quite decide if this stranger was a guardian angel or a predator. But one thing was certain, the strange man before me was unlike everyone I had ever met.
