His Golden Alpha

Today was the coldest day ever. The wind was feathering my face hard as I ran through our pack lands. I loved running in human form so that I could get the maximum cardio I needed for the day. I can run 10 miles without breaking a sweat. I guess that comes from my mothers’ side and not my fathers. My mother was the descendant of the Golden Wolf. Like the White Wolf but much more powerful and dangerous.  Our pack was in Texas. The land is about 100 acres, respectively. It’s been in my father’s family for years. He is the Alpha of the Grey Diamond Pack. I love everything about it. Outside of Austin the capital of Texas and with plenty of rivers and streams within our lands. I inherited a few powers when I turned 9. And it seemed I gained more and more as I’ve gotten older. At 9 I shifted while at a friend’s sleepover. My parents came and got me and explained everything to me. For a 9-year-old girl it was a very scary experience. 11 years old I was able to pick up languages as I heard them and I currently speak 6 different languages. After that my parents hired a personal tutor and I graduated High school and working on my 2nd degree before my 18th birthday in 3 weeks. I been taking 3 types of martial arts, weapons training, and etiquette classes. My mom’s idea: she said if I’m going to be a “tom boy” at least be a feminine tom boy! I groan because in a few minutes I have an Alpha meeting with my father and the beta and gamma. After that I have mixed martial arts and then etiquette with Ms. Jones. As I run up the pack house stairs, I greeted by the beta’s daughter and my best friend Natalie. “hey chick”! she greeted me. “Nat Pack”!! that was my nickname for her. Since we were kids, she always carried around some type of pack that held either toys, candy, or something she deemed essential for her everyday needs. I loved that she was always prepared for anything. And today is no different. She has on her “pack” which looks like an old woman’s fanny pack for B.I.N.G.O but I don’t dare comment on it. The last time I did when we were kids and she stopped talking to me for 3 days. Longest days of my life and since then I respected her need for it. She was also 17 a few months younger than me. She was 5’10 model figure. Long Blond hair bright blue eyes. I was 6’1 with a curvier figure like a figure 8, light brown hair and one green eye and one blue eye. I used to think we were twins growing up but as I was rudely told at her sleepover which prompted me to shift at an early age we are not!! I was mixed my mother was black and creole descendant and my father was white. I never knew what color was because my parents never talked like that. Sara was her friend, and we were talking about being sisters she blurted out that we could not because my mom was black. I remember getting so mad and telling her she was wrong. And when I stood up to her I heard my bones snap. The girls all started to scream and when Natalie’s parents came running in they saw me doubled over in pain and my eyes changed to the color of gold. That night my mom and father had to explain my wolf and what racism was. Sara eventually apologized and she became a good friend after that but not like Natalie. We were the dynamic duo of the pack! The Patrick to my spongebob! The peanut to by butter! “Are you ready for another boring meeting”? she said looking exhausted. “yeah, I’m going to get freshened up I will see you in 15”!! then I was off to get showered and changed. My family occupied the 5th level of the packhouse. 4th floor was the offices of the Alpha, Luna, Beta, Gamma, and conference rooms. 3rd floor was the lodging of the beta/gamma families. 2nd floor the guest suites and library. 1st floor kitchen, game room, theater room, and omega living quarters. I had a room that was just as big as, my parents. It had a vanity area, double walk in closet, full bathroom with separate shower and bathroom. And an office/study area with bay windows that overlooked the backyard and pool area.  Soon as I steeped out my mother was there walking for me with a smile on her face. I knew it could not be good. She has been trying to get me to finalize a party for my 18th/coming out party and I really did not want that but being the Alphas daughter and only child I had to do it. “we confirmed 3 of the neighboring packs plus 7 other packs from around the country. We need to get a few more confirmations and then we are set on the guest”! she beamed excitedly. I nodded but kept getting dress. “did you go to the final fitting for your dress”. She asked looking down at her notes. “yes, mom I did and Natalie got hers done as well”! I told her. “why can’t this be small and with people I actually know from our pack”? I asked her. She looked at me with eye large greenish brown eyes and smiled. “well my dear your turning 18 and I’m ready to travel the world with your father. Your more than capable of running the pack by yourself. But the elders are old school, and they would love to see a man by your side running the pack”! “what if I was gay would the elders have a problem with another woman being here”? I questioned knowing what the answer would be, but I loved getting my mom riled up. The elders are literally my grandparents and great uncles. They were upset that I was a girl from the very beginning, but when I shifted at 9 they slowly started to change their minds. They knew I was special and with my powers coming in it was just the optics part. If I was a man this wouldn’t even be heard of. I talked to my great grandfather or GG as I call him all the time about letting me do things my way and he would always say “A woman is nothing without a man”. After that I kept my distance.  “can you please not use that as an argument point every time I bring this up”! she sighed but I just kept getting dressed and walk to my study office area looking over the technology I been developing for the supernatural world. I been into technology since I was very young always on the computer and I even developed a system that we use in the packhouse that makes it easier for us to communicate without using mindlink. My dad thought it super cool and, but my GG said it was a waste of time to focus on it and said mindlink was perfectly fine. “well you better hurry up you know how your GG is if your late for the Alpha meetings he will say “she is putting on her makeup and trying to get pretty”! my mom said with disappointment in her voice. My mother and GG never got along. From the very 1st time they met my GG thought my mother was not good enough for his son. If it were not for my mom’s money that helped the pack when she got married to my father, we would not be living how we are now. My, moms dad was wealthy to say the least and when she got married her trust fund was released to her. She did not know that it was on the contingency of marriage. She met my dad when they were at college and it was love at first sight. After that they were married the following week and been together for 23 years. They used the money to start the company that eventually helped the pack become the 3rd largest in the USA and build one of the biggest fortunes 500 hundred companies. We have our hands in developing houses, grocery stores and other interest. I bounced down the stairs running into my father. “even if I am your father Jas you need to bet me there”, he said with a stern face with a hint of smile. I was my daddy’s princesses on the 5th floor but every where else I was just a pack member and Alpha in training. “yes Alpha”! I saluted. He smiled and hugged me as we walked into the conference area. I took my seat to his left as his Beta and Gamma was seated next to his right followed by my GG. He did not need to be there but just like the control freak he is and the fact that he can’t stand to be retired he sits in on all the meetings. After my Great Grandmother died, he just needed something to do. He does not say anything just grunts and eyes rolls. On my right was my future beta and best friend Natalie and gamma Chase. He was my secret crush. He was my 1st kiss and we just thought it was better if we stayed friends. I wanted more because I felt that we could really run this pack together, but he wanted to wait for his mate and to my surprise it was Sara. We never told anyone about the kiss, and I am glad. I would not be able will not be able to look Sara in the face anymore if she found out. During the meeting, my dad went over the rogue activity and training procedures. While we have not had a rogue attack in years. We always made sure we were on guard. During the summer I got to run patrol and work actual shifts just like any other pack members. I always helped wherever was needed. I washed clothes with the omegas cooked food tutored the ones that needed it and babysit some of the kids so that pack members could enjoy some alone time. I earned money for everything I did and used that to help with my technology prototypes. I wanted to be the Bill Gates of the supernatural world. And I knew how to do it, but I just needed the money. I could have gone to my parents for the money, but I wanted to show them, that I could do this on my own. I was literally a genius and I managed my money invested wisely and earned over $10 million dollars after my 1st degree. My parents made me put most of it up in accounts that have literally tripled my initial deposits. Only Natalie knew how much money I had and that is only because she walked in on my conference call with my accountant. She knew I was smart, but she did not know how smart I was. She knew about my languages and my ability to shimmer in and out of buildings like a vamps could do. I was not a vampire but apparently, I took powers from each species. Strength of a bear, shimmer of a vampire and the power to detect black magic of a witch and be immune to it. “well if that’s it this meeting is closed until next week”. The alpha concluded. When I stood up to leave, he asked me to stand back to have a word with me. A everyone left I waited. “As you know me your mom, the beta and will be going on a trip tonight. You are acting Alpha until we return. You are more than capable of running the pack for this short period of time”. He said. “yes sir” I saluted again, and he pulled me in for a hug. “Dad I won’t let you down”. He smiled down at me still in our embrace. As me and Natalie watched them drive off, we turned around and shifted. Her wolf was a brown and white wolf with black paws. My wolf was the color of the sun Golden with a small with patch on my chest. My wolf was bigger than my father’s wolf by 3 inches. My wolf Sasha was wild a ready to catch the wind in the golden coat. Hey Jas thanks for the release I needed this. No problem girl. I know I been busy today and you did not get the release earlier, I just been feeling uneasy like something is about to happen. Me too jas me too!! I communicated with Natalie’s wolf Kalie and she agreed something felt off about today as well, but she could not put her finger on it. As we turned around and headed back towards the packhouse we heard a loud explosion coming from the direction our parents just went. When we got to the scene it was horrific. The beta was crawling out the wreck while the car exploded again. I stood there in shock. I could not believe what was happening right in front of my face. As we got closer the beta was crying tears. I never seen him so distraught in my life. He was always strong and right now he looked like a small child that been terribly hurt. I fell to my knees and let out the most powerful growl I ever did. It was so loud to wolves from our neighbor pack came out. They were over 20 miles away. How could this happen? I started to panic and just like that my world went black………
