Dawn of an alpha.

A revelation.

Dawn Daniels

Smiling at the closed door, I laughed softly to myself at how awkward Kieran had been. It was unlike him, he was always so composed so when he could not give me a definite answer or reply when I caught him looking at my mother's journal, I just thought it was funny.

I had woken up and he was sound asleep so I carefully detangled his hands and removed myself from the bed without disturbing him then I left the room with the aim of going to get my mother's journal and coming back to read it while lying beside him.

I liked how it had felt earlier and I wanted to continue lying there in his warmth but on getting into my room, I realized that I was in his shirt and I needed a shower so I decided to have a shower before going back to his room. During my shower, I noticed that there were no more bite marks on my neck.

I had healed and that was rare for any wolf, I thought about mentioning it to Kieran when he had come into the room but I got carried away by his very handsome confused face when I saw him earlier on in the room but I will tell him in the morning. My healing abilities were quick and that showed how different I was from the other werewolves. It made me remember the part I had read in my mother's journal where she said that her family had been an elite group of werewolves. One of the founding families.

From the part I had started reading this morning before the fight, my mother had mentioned something that had shaken me, she had said we were direct descendants of the moon goddess and I was a child of prophecy but she had not given much detail into it, it had been the introduction part of the journal.

It had been on my mind before and briefly during the fight, I had thought of how Kieran had been worried to let me train with just anyone and why he had wanted to train me himself, he said I was strong. It did not make sense to me then and it had even scared me.

But I am in a different place now, after years of fear and being the underdog, I was now a strong force and I know that I was about to get stronger. I was able to shift even though the members of my last pack had already tagged me as a useless member who would never shift, I was now a werewolf, I could control my wolf, I had friends and I was even falling for a man.

The alpha of my new pack!

All these were things that seemed like they were impossible for me to be or for me to do just a few months ago. I am not the little girl that I was some months ago, I sat down on the bed now, picked up the journal, and hugged it. Then I started crying because at that moment I wished my mother was around. Now more than anything, I missed her. But she had left something for me, to know myself and to be close to her, she wrote this down for me so I was going to read it and know more about who I was and why my life had been like that.

Cleaning the tears from my cheeks, I dropped the journal back unto the top of the dresser and stood up. I walked into the bathroom to get my pajama set and get ready for bed. I dried my body and my hair then I moisturized myself before getting dressed for bed. After getting dressed I picked up the journal and thought about going back to Kieran's room.

I decided to read the journal in the room then when I was done, I would go back to Kieran's room. Opening my mother's journal, I continued from where I had stopped in the morning, my heart was beating fast as I continued reading from where I had stopped.

It was sometime after midnight when I decided that I was done reading my mother's journal, I had taken in a whole lot and I was going to talk about it with my trainer and friend, Hera as soon as I could see her.

I had read more about my mother's reason for starting to write a journal. It had been almost immediately after the murder of my father and his brother, the then alpha of the white moon pack.

The death had shaken everyone, my mother especially and so she embarked on a journey to find the killer(s). But after digging in for a while she realized how dangerous the search she was embarking on was so she started writing a journal to document her every move.

The journal had been locked in a place that only she and Darius had access to, so every night or as often as she could, she came back to that place and wrote down what she needed to. She had started with a summary of her analysis of what might have made the killers go after my father and his brother.

It had been because of a prophecy. A prophecy that said under the rule of a powerful white haired king the reign of terror was going to end. It was a vague prophecy that was never really taken seriously because, for the longest time, there has been no reign of terror that was known to the werewolf society or werewolf packs around.

From my mother's descriptions in the journal, my father and his brother had been white haired, just like me, even though in their wolf forms the color of their fur was not purely white. My mother had done investigations on the packs to find out if any had intel on the killings and she had uncovered a few things that had made her travel very far from home.

That was where she found out about the whole prophecy and the origination of the prophecy. I stopped there because I was beginning to feel sleepy and I knew that I needed as much sleep as I could get considering the fact that I had not gotten enough sleep the night before and I was very exhausted. My wolf and I needed the sleep.

Getting up from the bed, I yawned and after much deliberation, I put the journal I was reading in my drawer and for the first time, I used the automated lock, using the finger print scanner to lock it. Funny how I used to leave it unprotected but after reading what it contained and knowing how much my mother had gone through to ensure that it did not fall into the wrong hands I was ready to protect it with my life.

I made sure the doors and windows were locked when I left the room, then also for the first time I used the fingerprint scanner to make sure the door was securely locked. I was going to mention the importance of the journal to Kieran and how much it needed to be guarded whenever he woke up.

As I walked to his room, I stopped at the door and after adjusting my pajamas - which was unnecessary- I tried to open the door which opened very easily. Kieran had kept his word and left the door open for me.

As I walked into the room, I noticed that the lights were off and so I did not turn off the lights instead I used my sharp sight and I masked the sound of my footsteps because I did not want to wake him up. But after a few steps, he bolted up to a sitting position on the bed.

"Hey it is me," I said immediately in a soft voice. I had still woken him up.

"Dawn," then he chuckled a bit and added, "I should have known, come here."

His voice sounded sexy and very compelling.

He had put out his arm from the bed, so I used my speed and fell into his arms, making him laugh softly. I could not tell if it was the fact that he was just waking up from sleep or the fact that I was just waking up from sleep but his voice was sounding extremely sexy.

"Did I scare you?" I said as we both fell onto the bed with me on his bare chest, I wished I could feel his bare skin on mine but I knew that now was not the time so I just lay there and enjoyed the feeling.

"Not really, I just knew there was someone around me. It was not a scary feeling though, it was a nice feeling and when I got up and saw those shining green eyes I immediately knew that it was you, even before you said so."

As we lay that way, he pulled the covers over us and held my body. I enjoyed it and I could feel the sleep coming so I did the one thing I want to before I closed my eyes to sleep.

I kissed his bare chest and then I let the sleep carry me.
