The Unexplained Alpha

Introduction

Scarlette Almond Quinn and she is from the second largest pack in Austria, The Blue Heroux pack. She's seventeen years old, eighteen in three weeks. She's an odd she-wolf. She's not only the biggest wolf but she also exudes Alpha power, has had since birth. Thus the she-wolves hate her and males fear her, as do her own parents.

Scarlette was slender and athletic but don't think that she is weak or unattractive. She had long flowing ebony hair, that she normally wears in a braid, so if it's not in the braid it is wavy. It is also so black that it looks like it has electric blue in it. She has a very tanned olive complexion. Bright electric light blue eyes and her smile could light up a room.

Sky, her only friend, her wolf, so it's said that wolves are alters of oneself however instead of having Obsidian black fur Sky's fur was white, pure white with no imperfections in it the tips of Sky's ears had just a hint of baby blue and Sky's eyes were intense electric blue, tells her the moon goddess knows best and she wouldn't have given her this if she didn't think she couldn't handle the pressure of being special. Scarlette doesn't know if she is special or just a straight out freak of nature.

Oh yeah! As you can probably guess She's not looking forward to her eighteenth birthday. Finding her "fated" mate, Scarlette doesn't believe he is going to be the best one for her, she doesn't know if he will reject her because she is powerful or love her for that only. Her parents have told her since she had shifted and found out she was different that nobody would ever love her that all they would ever want is her power for themselves. Yes, it would be great if her fated mate didn't care either way, but we all know that life doesn't work that way. Hell her own parents feared her, out of not understanding how she was made. Maybe feared is the wrong word, intensely envied her for her strength and power that she didn't ask for.

Her life has been normal but as soon as she shifted for the first time and towered over her dad and her mom's massive wolves, which was terrifying for Scarlette anyway, she didnt understand the look of awe and something else in her mothers eyes, danger is all Sky could sense and she kept looking around, she could have sworn it came from Scarlettes mother but that isnt right. Sky was so tall that she could see all of the territory. She was at least 17 hands high. They have acted like she was a burden more than a blessing, considering her parents hadn't been successful in having a pup survive all the way to birth except for her. Her mother shifts during labor which is dangerous for the pups but it's the only way she can survive the birth. The pain and agony that she goes through would destroy her heart and she would flat line, they had searched and searched and finally found a witch to help her with Scarlette but after Scarlette had shifted for the first time they think that the witch put a curse on her in the womb. They being the Gammas of the pack have had to have permission of the pack to take their revenge on all the witches in the packs territory. They have imprisoned some so they could torture and interrogate them, have even had Scarlette show them Sky. That was embarrassing for Scarlette, the pitiful eyes of the half dead men and woman that her parents strung up and whipped, taken chunks out of there skin and had strutted out of the dungeon to kill them had stuck in Scarlette's mind for nights after they were silenced.

Our Alpha and Luna have always had their back in this regards but have requested them to be more covert about the killings because it was making the other families leary of staying in the pack with this going on with their children playing, training, and sleeping in the same territory that so many murders being done. The Alpha and Luna did not like Scarlette at all ever since she was born they generally stayed away from her and if they were around her were snippy and very short with her but lately they gave Scarlette a wide birth. They won't even talk to her now no snippy comments no short and rude commands just nothing, they just call for her parents. The anger and leering Scarlette endures them seems fueled by something but Scarlette doesn't know and if Sky does she is not telling her all she says is tread carefully and try and stay out of their way. So that's what she does, she goes to school, then home and stays inside or goes for a run, alone always alone. She constantly feared that she would die alone or her death would be at the hands of someone she either loved or looked up too. She was constantly trying to get on everybodies good side but noone trusted her, her classmates were more than willing to torment her with cruel pranks, name calling, or faking injuries so she would get into trouble and possibly punished because she attacked someone, even though she never did.

Being an outcast in school wasn't anything new to her she always had been the odd man out. However it seemed as all the other people knew she was different from them, they really didn't talk to her or intimidate her per se they would do pranks but nothing hands on like they all were scared to go one on one, it was always a group of girls. The boys were no different they would bump into her on purpose then blame her yelling to watch were her feet were walking, but even then they did it in groups.

They always did it in groups, it seemed as if regardless of the cliques it was it was several of them. Scarlette believed that, that was by design so they wouldn’t get caught and in trouble for starting issues with her. Although she can’t remember the last time someone stood up to her tormentors. She had to have at least one memory of someone other then her parents, and Sky of course, standing up for her, but she couldn’t think of a single instance were she had someone on her side in this school.

Scarlette had made it through another turmoil day at school. She was going to have detention this weekend again for assaulting a teacher. She didn’t but the teacher hadn’t listened to what had happened just said she was going to have detention. What had actually happened is that the head cheerleader and quarterback were walking down the hall and saw Scarlette and decided that they would humiliate her AGAIN. Scarlette was walking with her head down as per usual, so she could be invisible, the cheerleader bumped into her shoulder and said watch it then the jock came up behind her and pushed her hard as Scarlette was trying to stay upright a teacher walked out in front of her and they collided hence the assault on school staff. It was bullshit but it’s an everyday occurrence in her life.

She made it home without further incidents thankfully, she walked in to her house and saw her parents discussing her and the detention. Which meant the school had called and lied about what had happened as per usual.

“SCARLETTE OVER HERE NOW!” Her father roared.

“Dad before you go getting overly worked up let me explain what happened.” Scarlette said as she ducked her head and made her way into the kitchen after taking off her shoes and putting her backpack by the door.

“Don’t you tell me how to react, when you are the one assaulting faculty at your school!” Scarlette’s dad wasn’t going to listen, he had already made up his mind that she had done everything the school had said, like she wasn’t the one constantly coming home sporting bruises and tangled matted hair like she was the one starting all of the issues.

So Scarlette resigned to getting the yelling and punishment out of the way so she could go to her room and start on her homework, maybe she would also read a couple more chapters ahead so she could be ahead and could keep her good grades.

After her dad was done yelling at her about respect and grounding her for a month, she headed up to her room, ready for solitude and music. She always liked putting her headphones on to do her homework she got it done quickly that way, of course she had to leave one ear clear so she could hear if her parents called. She hadn’t one night a couple years ago and her dad had taken her headphones and door for six months to teach her respect for his authority and his house.
