The Alpha’s White Wolf Luna

Ariah’s POV I open my eyes, the sun is shining through the blinds as I blink, trying to get my bearings after a well rested night's sleep. Have you ever had a dream that felt so real you wake up not knowing where you are? That was my dream. It was a dream I had regularly. My biological parents were there. Well, what I pictured my biological parents to look like. They were playing hide and go seek with me. My father found me, tossing me up in the air, making me giggle louder and louder each time, my mom sat down on the grass, smiling and shaking her head at us with pride. In my dream I must have been around the age of 3, maybe 4, happy and innocent. Not that I am not happy and innocent now, but it was a different sort of happiness. My parents have always been honest with me about the fact I was adopted. I don’t remember my biological parents and my parents don’t have much information about them either, so I go by my dreams of what I imagined them to look like. All I know is I was 5 when my parents took me in. I can’t remember them never being in my life. “Are you awake Ariah” I heard my mom shout behind my closed door “you are going to be late for school if you don’t move Mrs” she said with a rushed tone. Shit, I slept through my alarm! Looking at my phone, it was almost 8 o’clock. “Running all the way” I yawned back to her, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. I rushed out of bed and straight into the shower, trying to be as quick as I could without getting shampoo in my eyes. I jumped out, picking out my typical kind of outfit, jeans and a white top, getting dressed, not even sure if I dried myself properly, towel dried my hair as best I could and rushed down the stairs before mom had to shout up again. Luckily, I wasn’t one for makeup. My skin was baby like, my long brown hair bounced naturally with slight curls and my eye lashes were long enough, without the help of mascara. I have big green eyes, unlike anyone else I know in our pack, but I knew one of my biological parents must have had that colour. Maybe my mom? As I hit the bottom step, my dad walked out of the kitchen. “Hello little one, good sleep?” He asks before planting a kiss on my forehead. I just smiled and nodded to him. “Something smells nice”. I hear my tummy rumble. My mom comes over, passing me a plate of chocolate-covered pancakes as she walks to the door grabbing her keys. “Get your shoes on Ariah, you're going to have to eat on the way to school” I did as she said, slipping on my white converse, kissing dad on the cheek and rushed to the car behind mom who was walking a lot faster than I'd ever seen her move. “Is everything okay mom?” I ask as I get in the car. “You seem, I don’t know, tense” She looked at me and smiled. “Sorry sweet, Alpha George mind linked us all this morning. You remember Alpha Harry’s son Alpha Ryder from the Moonshadow pack. Well, he’s back and will be at school today. We have been told to warn our pups. Alpha George seems on edge him being back, which has put us all a little on edge. Just don’t approach him Ariah and steer clear” I looked at her confused. Why would I speak to the Alpha of our rival pack? Alpha Ryder was in our school. I didn’t know him nor have I ever spoke to him. The day he turned 18, he left for 2 years for intense Alpha training. Now he’s back he will probably have to finish what he missed in the last few months of school when he was absent. I don’t know too much about him personally, bar from his bad boy reputation. Everyone was petrified of him and so they should be. He was evil. I don’t actually know why our pack, the Sunlite pack, don’t get along with them, I’ve never dared to ask, but I know we have to keep our distance under any circumstances. It is said the Moonshadow pack were the strongest, most powerful pack around, especially having Alpha Ryder as their leader, and that made our Alpha worried. “Did you hear what I said Ariah” mom said snapping me out of my sudden daydream. “Yes, I heard you. I don’t know why you're so worried. I would never approach him. I never did before and I wouldn’t now. He scares me” the last bit I said with a slight giggle, hoping it would break the tension she had going on. She looked at me with a soft smile “I know you wouldn’t sweetheart, but like I said, we’ve all been told to warn everyone who is still in school, so, now I’ve said my piece, I feel relaxed”. Geez, I knew Alpha George was scared of him, not that he would ever admit it, but it seemed crazy, making everyone worry for no reason. After what felt like a lifetime, we arrived at the school gates. “Have a great day honey” mom shouted when I jumped out of the car. I smiled and waved, looking around to see if I could spot Zoey when suddenly, someone jumped on me from behind. I squealed trying to stop myself from falling on the ground and all I could hear was a high-pitched laughter coming from over my shoulder. “ZOEY” I shouted “you nearly gave me a heart attack and face plant the floor” I turned around to see my best friend in fits of laughter. “Gotcha” was all she had to say. I just smiled, embracing her with a hug. “Did you hear about Alpha Ryder being back in town” she says, wiggling her eyebrows. “Yes and we should all stay away from him blah blah blah” I said with a tone of sarcasm. “Yes, I got the memo. 18 remember, I can mind link too now” she says, looking all proud of now having her wolf. “Speaking of 18, what are we doing for your 18th? I bet you're so excited about meeting your wolf and shifting for the first time” Argh yes, my 18th. The day everyone gets excited about. Truth be told, I’m worried about shifting for the first time. I know it’s gonna hurt and no matter what you do, nothing can prepare you for the agonising, bone-breaking experience. I am rather excited about meeting my wolf though. “Haven’t really thought much about it to be honest Zoey. I’m sure mom will plan a big fancy meal before we shift. Other than that, nothing. Maybe we can have lunch and go shopping?” I asked her. Zoey got silly excited. I instantly regretted saying the word shopping “Shopping! Now you are speaking my language. It’s a date!” She replies “Come on, we had best head inside before the bell goes” We headed off into the school building. Our school is more modern than most. It has a glass front that you can’t see through, yet you can see out once your inside, marble stairs either side of the hallway that meet at the top and the biggest chandelier I’ve ever seen. If you didn’t know it was a school, you would probably think it was a mansion owned by royalty. I headed over to my locker, opening it to grab the books I needed for my first lesson, which was English. I love English, it’s one of the subjects I excel at. Call me a nerd if you will. I closed it, suddenly realising the whole hallway had gone completely silent. You could possibly hear a pin drop. I looked around to see what was going on. This school is never quiet! It’s always noisy and boisterous with a million different conversations going on at one time and lockers slamming shut. I noticed everyone looking in the same direction, looking at Alpha Ryder walking through the door. Everyone bows their heads in respect. I looked at him too, not remembering exactly what he looked like before he left, so I knew exactly who to avoid and stay away from. I have to admit, he was gorgeous! He had black hair cut to perfection, from what I could see sparkling blue eyes and do not get me started on his body. He looked like he was built by the gods, his muscles nearly ripping the black T-shirt he was wearing as if they wanted to escape. He was a tall lad, a lot taller than most in the hallway and he had a presence about him as if to say, ‘don’t mess with me’. Good looking as he was, he’s an arse, a beautiful arse, but an evil, horrible arse. It’s as if he knew I were thinking all this about him because his eyes met mine, turning black. Oh great, he wants to kill me! Is this me steering clear of him? No, I should run..
