The Alpha's Darkest Secret; His Daughter

Speechless

I woke up to the smell of bacon and coffee. I yawned and grabbed my phone off the dresser next to me, it was 7:15. I had to be at work by 9 but I liked to take my time in the morning sometimes. I put on my slippers and walked downstairs towards the kitchen where I found a busy Louisa cooking. Louisa was an Omega in our pack and took on the role of caretaker. Usually Omegas were treated with disrespect in older generation packs but here we respected them. They were even capable of calming out of control wolves if needed. Louisa was an older pack member, who looked like she was in her 40’s, when in reality was close to 100. She enjoyed the mundane tasks of cleaning but loved to cook and even wanted to go back to school for it. She was my height, with long black hair she always kept in a high ponytail and had a beautiful hour glass figure. You could still see some of her age in the wrinkles on her face from when she was originally turned but other than that her pale skin was like glass. Her eyes were my favorite feature, as they were a honeycomb brown.

“Good Morning Lou.”, I greeted her taking a seat in the barstools in front of the island. I watched as she placed a beautiful omelet on to the plate in front of me which was already filled with bacon and turkey sausages.

“Just in time little one.”, she said with a smile. She dumped the pan in the sink and caught two pieces of toast just as they were coming up from the toaster.

“Here you go. Sorry I couldn’t make anything better; I need to go grocery shopping today.”, she said turning back to wash the dishes.

“It’s still one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted.”

By that time, I had already eaten half the omelet and the turkey sausage.

“Calm down! You always eat so fast!”, she barked at me. She had lived in France and they always ate slower. She would say it was to let the food speak on your palate.

“I can’t help it!”, I yelled back at her, but still slowed down to drink the coffee she placed in front of me. For the next 15 minutes she schooled me on how the French were so much skinner than normal Americans because of their eating habits.

“Is my Dad up yet?”, I asked her finishing my plate.

“Your Father may be Alpha, and he may be centuries older than myself, but my goodness he is still a twenty-year-old at heart. He never wakes up before 10 if he can help it.”

My Father was like that I must admit. He looked like he could just be my older brother and sometimes acted like it. When he spoke, it was the weirdest thing because he spoke with power and wisdom, as any Alpha should.

“That’s Dad for you! Thanks for breakfast, time to get ready for another day.”

“You’re welcome, think of what you want from the store and let me know before you leave.”

I gave her a salute and a smile and went back upstairs. I showered and came out in my black robe and sat down at my vanity. I put on some face moisturizer and natural makeup and then let my hair down. I never liked to wash it too much, it was so long it was a hassle when I wanted to style it quickly. I simply divided it into two and French braided them into pigtails, letting some hair loose in the front to give it a more casual style. I moisturized with lemon lotion for a ‘fake’ energy boost and went to grab a panty and bra from the dresser. I worked with kids as a Registered Behavior Tech, which basically meant running learning programs with autistic children or any child with a behavioral problem. This meant the comfier the better, so I put on light blue skinny jeans, with a black long-sleeve body suit that tucked in nicely and some black converse. I went to my jewelry box and grabbed some gold studs for my piercings, I had 3 on each side, but usually only changed out the first two. I already had my Mothers necklace on and simply finished my look with my small gold ring that only went a quarter of the way down my index finger. It had a crescent moon which to me represented my pack, Crescendo. I grabbed my phone checking it again for messages, and to my sadness there was none. It was 8:30 and I needed to get going, so I grabbed my keys and small black bookbag put everything inside it and went downstairs. My dad was still asleep so I didn’t bother him and I told Lou I would text her what I wanted. I went to metal door that led to the garage and walked over to my Mercedes AMG. I know, spoiled brat of course but I pay the monthly on it and maintenance, which made me feel less of a leacher. It was white with black rims, an all-black leather interior and panoramic sunroof. I drove out of the garage and made my way to the highway. It only took my about 20 minutes to get to the office. It was a tall beige building that held anything from dentist offices to law firms and on the 4th floor was my job. I walked in and was instantly greeted with the smell of Lysol and the sound of kids running around. I smiled to the parents in the small white waiting room and walked to the back towards the employee lounge. The office was basically a long hallway next to the waiting room with 3 rooms on either side and the lounge at the end.

“Hey Aurora!”, Nelly said coming out from the door. She had been hired at the same time I was a year ago so we bonded during training and we usually shared kids. She was my height with long curly brown hair and a caramel skin tone similar to Caleb. Her family was from Brazil and she had the body and personality to match.

“Hey Nells! You with Cody today?”, I asked her since it was his day of the week.

“Yea, he’s being a handful today though. Take Noah into another room when you start with him, if not he will be bothered by him.”, she warned.

We both went back to the lounge.

“Weren’t you leaving?”

“I still have 5 minutes of my break, and now that you’re hear I can wait.”

I rolled my eyes at her as she took a seat at the table and I put my bag in my locker.

“So, what’s up? You called in sick for your last shifts?”

“Family issues to the say the least. One of my family members got hurt in that Denny’s shoot out and we had to take care of them.”

“I’m so sorry! I saw it on the news, that crazy group caused it right?”

“Yup. Good thing some good guys took them out before anything worse went down.”

“The rumors are Fae took them out then disappeared but without videos, and nobody coming forward there’s not much to go on.”

In my mind I was glad the general public thought it was the Fae, and nothing more.

“Right! Any how their doing better. Honestly, I needed a breather too before I came back. I’ve been so stressed out lately I don’t think I could have handled being with these kids.”, I laughed.

“I hear you. Speaking of, break time is over and you need to clock in. I hear Noah’s crazy Mama outside.”, she said getting up and heading out.

“UGH! I hope she leaves this time instead of staying in the waiting room listening in.”

I walked out with her and went to go get Noah from the waiting room.

Just run your programs and distract yourself. You can do this.

Sessions usually ran anywhere from 2 to 8 hours depending how badly the child needed an intervention. Noah’s sessions usually lasted 4 hours, so it was one by the time we finished. I led Noah out to the waiting room where his mom was waiting and told her he was really good this session. I turned back and went to the employee lounge pulling out my laptop and taking a seat. I took all my handwritten notes on my different sessions since last week and started filling in all the progress reports and daily notes that I never did. They were all written of course but we had to type them up into our system and upload them so the head analysts could track their progress and adjust programs accordingly. Once I put my head to work the time flew by and I barely noticed Jeremy’s presence.

“Hey! Sorry to disturb but there’s a guy named Colt here for you.”

I gave him a puzzled look. Colt was one of the stronger wolves in the pack, therefore he was usually on guard duty. It was weird that he was here.

“Oh, Okay. He’s one of my Dad’s friends. I’ll be right out.”.

It was two by now so I decided I should just back up and head out anyways. I made my way down the hall again and turned into the waiting room to find Colt on his phone sitting in the chairs that were way too small for him. Colt was a big guy with a bald head and muscles that would intimidate anyone. He had brawn and brain as he was one of my dad’s computer analysts. He wore a white shirt and black Nike jacket, with sweat pants and black Yeezys; The man had style.

“Hey Colt! What are you doing here?”

He looked up and smiled. “You’re Father sent me for you. You were supposed to get off at one.”

“Yea, but I stayed to write in some reports. Anyways I’m leaving now.”

He got up and opened the door for me. I waved by to Jeremy who was still in shock he came face to face with someone like Colt and walked out to the elevator.

“So why are you really here. I sent my Dad a text already saying I was staying.”

“He wasn’t sure when you would be coming home so he sent me to wait for you and escort you home. Good thing you’re leaving now those chairs are not meant for men.”, he said rubbing his butt. I laughed at that and rode the elevator down to the first floor and outside.

“So, did you drive…?”, I asked looking around for his Jeep.

“Nope.”, and held out his hands for my keys.

“Do take care of him.”, I said giving him the keys.

We got inside and pulled out from the parking lot.

“Why does he need me to be supervised exactly?”

“The Alpha from the Blood Bound Pack is here.”

“Wait! What? The Alpha from up North? He wasn’t supposed to be here for a few more days”

“He showed up at the border with his Beta and Third around noon. They were escorted to your house and have been speaking with your Father since then.”

I was still in shock that the Alpha was at my house. No wonder I could feel the pack buzzing earlier but I simply ignored it to start working. Blood Bound, I thought. Interesting name.

“I wonder what they are talking about.”

“That’s none of your concern for now Pup. You are to go straight to your room and lock the door and stay put until they leave.”

I rolled my eyes. Always over exaggerating, I don’t think three wolves could get far any ways.

“Well then, can we stop somewhere for food so I’m not starving while in prison.”

He laughed and simply continued driving.

We finally arrived at my house, only to pull up to see at least 10 pack members guarding the house and I could sense more in wolf form guarding the perimeter. In front was my dads black BMW SUV and a Dark Grey Range Rover I didn’t recognize. It must have been the Alpha’s. We pulled up and went straight into the garage. I grabbed my bags of Panda Express and Starbucks and hopped out, walking to the door that led to the house. Opening the door I got hit with the strongest scent I’ve ever smelt before. It was a mix of mint and dew after a rainy day. It was so strong it outweighed the normal scent of vanilla and coffee in the house. It took me back so hard it made Colt go on edge.

“You alright Pup?”

“Yea. I just got hit hard with the smell.”, I waved him off and continued through into the front room where the front door was. The smell got even stronger, it was making me dizzy, but in a good way, like I could drown in it. I realized it was coming from my Dads office. I couldn’t hear what they were saying but my eyes fixated on the door, my wolf stirring underneath. I wanted to just walk in there and find out who was smelling like this, but just in time Colt came up behind me.

“Straight to your room and lock the door. Bathroom and emergencies only. Got it. I’ll be in the kitchen and Leon is in there with your Father. Text if you need anything and try to stay out of trouble. He’s young but he’s still foreign and as far as I can feel, powerful.”

Powerful? Maybe that’s why the scent was so strong. I nodded to him and walked up the stairs and went to my room locking the door behind me. I turned on my light and got undressed into some tights and a cropped black t-shirt. I let my braids out and put it up into a bun on my head letting some strands flow loose. I always loved my hair up unlike most other wolves, made me feel lighter and attentive. I put on some TLC and ate. After, I took out my laptop and got back to work. About an hour a half passed and there was still no word on if they had left yet. I texted Colt only to be told that they weren’t finished yet and to stay put. I started to look at face masks and faux gauges online for the next half hour, but the venti mocha frappe I drank was ready to leave my body. I put my phone down and grabbed my phone walking to the bathroom. I only had to pee but I ended up sitting on the toilet just scrolling through my apps. I finally realized it had been 10 minutes, and got up when my legs started to fall asleep. I washed my hands and opened the door only to be met with the strong scent again. My heart beat quickened and my wolf shot to the surface.

What the hell….

I thought to myself.

I went to the balcony between the two stair cases and leaned over trying to get a view of this Alpha. They must have just left the office as I saw my Father and Leon walking three men outside. I could feel the power in the room, almost like it was a force bearing down on me. They must be powerful for this kind of feeling. The Beta and Third were about 5’10-5’11, and what I could assume was the Alpha was taller at around 6’1. He was looking towards the door speaking with his companions as my Dad and Leon watched. I couldn’t hear what they were saying but I was mesmerized by him. He was tall and lean. His muscles were fighting against his black shirt’s sleeves and it was a bit tight showing off his flat but muscular stomach. He wore dark jeans that were loose at the top but tight after his knees with black hiker boots. He had a black and white tattoo going from his wrist and disappeared under his sleeve. He had short black hair which was cut nicely on the sides and the short hair in front slightly spiked up, as if he weaved his hand through his hair a lot. I could only see his back but he gave off a stereotypical bad boy vibe. He wore a Silver Rolex on his left wrist and I could see a silver chain around his neck. I couldn’t take my eyes off him, I wanted him to turn around so I could see his face already. I bit my lip and watched as my Dad went around him and opened the door for him letting him and the two others walk out. That’s when he turned to face my father and I saw him. His eyes were Hazel as far as I could see and he had a perfect bone structure. He looked exactly 25, mature and aged well but he had a younger appeal to him. Like I wouldn’t be embarrassed to bring him home to my Dad. His lips were a light pink and he had small stubble like he forgot to shave that morning. He was, for lack of a better term, Hot. I felt my body melt with desire, just to touch him, to feel his lightly tanned skin under my fingers. It was as if I couldn’t sensel anyone but him, and everyone else was just background noise. Yet, what made me freeze was the fact that he was also frozen. Starring at me. He gazed up at me, almost smirking like he knew something I didn’t. He wouldn’t look away, and when our eyes met everything that was happening increased tenfold. I could hear my wolf in the back of my mind.

Don’t….

Mate.

Fuck.

He broke eye contact first finishing shaking my dad’s hand and thanking him. He gave one last glance at me and turned and walked away. I stayed there, still as a statue.

“What in the…...?”, I said out loud.

Both Leon and my Dad turned around to look at me.

“Couldn’t stay in the room?”, my Dad asked slightly disappointed.

“Uh…yea. I mean no. I mean, sorry Dad I just had to use the bathroom.” I said. I shook my head and practically zombie walked back to my room and closed the door slowly behind me locking it and sliding down to the floor.

“What the f**k just happened?”
