Submissive Alpha

DEUX

Taylor's POV

School is a drag, that is definitely something I will not miss about this stupid ass place. Remember how I said I had no mate, well I do not but I do sort of have a long-time girlfriend and I had no classes this term with her, Esihle. Damn the girl is hot, actually I do not think hot is the right word to describe her, she was ethereal, she had an unnatural almost alluring beauty about her. She has long legs, honestly she might be more leg than anything else, dark skin that resembled melted dark chocolate and thick black hair, that always seemed to defy gravity with how it stayed upright all the time and with grey eyes that almost looked white. Everyone loves her, she is an absolute sweetheart and I was disappointed when I found out she was not my mate, but she took it very well, me on the other hand flipped.

I did fortunately have all my classes with Amanda, my future beta, this did make the term more bearable, but I still hate every second of this hellhole institution. Amanda is my best friend; we have been best friends since she and her family moved next door when in was 5. Our parents had thought that Amanda and I would be mates considering how close we were but when the time came and I did not feel a pull to her, they were very disappointed to say the least, but they were overjoyed that Esihle was not my mate; the pompous ignorant idiots.

"Tay" Amanda shouts from across the room, of course that i***t would do something ridiculous like that. I roll my eyes; my lips rise a bit at the corners despite myself, but I still flat out ignore her because she knows I hate that nickname. "Ahh come on Tay don't be like that" she persists with a determined glint in her eyes to piss me off, this is something she is good at, but unfortunately for her so was I. I refuse to talk to her until she called me by my full name so I continue to blatantly ignore her, I can be just as determined.

“You are being childish!” Alex suddenly scolds me, Alex is my wolf, the other part of me. I love Alex really, I do but Alex is also a very annoying wolf, mostly because he thinks he is always right. “No, I am not being childish.” I whine to Alex, “how would you like it, if I start calling you Lex or better yet, Lexi.”  I continue childishly, I will admit I am behaving more like a spoilt brat than an alpha, but I mean come on, she is totally butchering my name.

After 10 minutes of me ignoring her, and her attempting every way known to man to annoy me and get me to respond to her, Amanda finally gives in and calls me by my full name. "Okay I'm sorry Taylor, do you forgive me?" She mumbles. "Nope," I reply popping the p "at least not until you buy me ice cream for the whole week" I tell her, being dead serious. What I love my ice cream, actually it is an obsession of mine, if I could have ice cream daily, I would. But then again who does not love sweets, show me this weird and possibly cruel individual. Amanda rolls her eyes at me, but the smirk on her face lets me know that I have won this battle, its all about the small victories.

I look around for Esihle, but I do not see her anywhere. I mean it is very difficult to miss a 5’10” girl with eyes that bring about a sense of nostalgia whenever you see them. I need to talk to her about my inauguration, she is the one basically planning the thing. Her pack, Black Claw a pack of black panthers, is in charge of all the planning and catering for any and all events that are hosted by the local packs. I am very excited to see what she will come up with, but I know I am going to love it.

Logan's POV

The new moon is almost upon us meaning it is getting closer to the young alpha's birthday and that means one thing, one thing that I am very excited about. It is getting closer to the day I get to destroy a whole pack; do not think I am doing this out of spite. I mean the timing is out of spite, but that pompous alpha has been threatening my pack for weeks now and I do not take lightly to threats. When we attack, anyone who opposes us will die, those who do not are allowed to become part of our pack, but only as omegas. I can not trust a wolf who is willing to turn their back on their pack just to save their own asses, you always fight for you pack, you fight to the death for your pack.

As I continue preparing for the attack, I have this weird feeling that something big is going to happen. I do not know what exactly or why but my wolf, Dimitri, has been acting strange these couple of days, well stranger than usual. People think that I am the problem, they definitely need to meet Dimitri, at one point he wanted me to call him Slayer, as if I would ever call him something that cliché or ridiculous. This enhanced strangeness from Dimitri started when I started making plans to destroy the Shallow River pack.

After finalising the plans on how we are going to attack with minimal damage on our side, I start on paperwork, it is in the midst of this paperwork that Luca, my beta, comes into my office, without knocking might I add. "Alpha all preparations are in place," Luca says in a stern voice "the pack fighters have been preparing for this day for approximately one week one day 13 hours 45 minutes and 13 seconds." He continues rattling off numbers, that is the thing about Luca he is very technical, I mean ridiculously so and my best friend, when you saw us together, you understood exactly why we were best friends.

Luca was almost as tall as me, standing at 6’5” muscle packed body, that he got from all the trainings he is always leading. Black eyes remind me of an abyss, eyes that you can not help but stare into and tell Luca all your secrets. Add onto that his mocha skin, you have a very handsome man, it is no wonder he is called the Avenging Angel, not that I would ever tell him that and inflate his ego.

I look up from my work and roll my eyes at the formalness, but I also continue in that steed, "okay, that will be all." I replied. One thing that I have been told I need to work one, which I highly doubt is going to happen is that I never say thank you or please but one word I despise more than anything else is SORRY. That word annoys me to no end, especially considering that people rarely ever mean it. If you are not going to clean up your act and never repeat what you have done to warrant you apologising, then do not apologise and give people false hope. Once I finish speaking, Luca is already out the room, he does not like interacting with me when I am doing my alpha duties because I can be a bit of a d**k, well more of a d**k than usual.

I continue working on the paperwork, this has to be by far the most annoying thing about being alpha, all the paperwork. In a couple more days I will be destroying a pack and claiming more land, I will do this with absolute precision to minimise casualties on my side. That is how we became the largest and most feared pack in the world, yes I said world not country, I mean come on, with a name like Blood Moon, you cannot be number two at anything. We kill every single male in the pack, claim the land and let all the women and children live on a portion of our land, killing the men limits the amount of revolutions that ensue, not saying that women have not led some robust rebellions, they are more understanding and more willing to ensure that their offspring are protected at all costs. They are protected and guarded by the head warrior, Hank, for a month to ensure there is stability and that they are not attacked by rouges seeing how defenceless they would be having lost a good portion of their pack. After the month is done, they are free to look after themselves and they get bound to me as their alpha.

Just because I am the Grim Reaper and my right-hand man is the Avenging Angel does not mean as Blood Moon, we are completely ruthless. We have always tried to aid packs that needed it and if you were under our protection you were safe from all threats because no one would dare come up against us. Just Luca and I alone could take out their pack, but we do not show off. We are all ruthless and brutal to those to try to go against us, those who challenge us or challenge those under our rule and protection, that is literally just asking for a death wish.

Only a couple more days then I will find out what has got Dimitri’s tail in a knot as well as knock down Max a peg or two, maybe even kill him.
