The Rise of the Female Alpha <3

Chapter 4

The next day, I woke up with the sun shining in from the small window in my room. I get up and slip on my jeans that have been worn to the point of unwanted holes forming all over them. I throw on my nicest shirt, which was a simple black shirt that was given to me from the donated clothes the pack members no longer wanted. It had a v-neck, and the shirt was too big for me. Being only 5'4 and the average shewolf being around 5'9 to 6 feet tall, most of my clothes are too big. Since it was too big, I made the best of it and wore it off my shoulder. I lace up my black high tops and wait for Aden to come get me. Not much longer, there was a soft knock at the door stand and, walking to the door, I could hear the jingling of the keys and the click of the door as it unlocked. The door slowly creaked open. Standing there was Beta Aden, so broad he nearly took up the whole door frame.

"You ready to go?" He asks. I simply nob and follow him. I have been so nervous about how things are going to go today. I have never been allowed to attend any pack events. I was never even made a member of this pack. I hope one day I'll have a pack and family to love me. A pack is like a giant family living in a community together. Everyone works together and protects each other. There are ranked members who protect, lead, guide and train the others. Then there are the worriers who fight for the packs' safety, there are shop owners who have businesses in both the packlands and the human lands. and at the lowest with the pack are the omegas who work for the rest of the pack members cleaning, cooking and farming for the entire pack. I consider the omegas the foundation of the pack.

They provide everyone with their needs and make their lives better.

We walk up stairs and go down a long hall and stop at the same door to the conference room we used yesterday. I follow Aden as he enters and we are met with a high pitched squeal "Ahh my sweet Bree! I'm so happy to see you!" Reiely comes barreling at me and embracing me with a hug, spinning around. A low growl emerged from behind and I turned to see Aden with an embarrassed look, rubbing the back of his head. Reiley just giggles and says "down boy, she's not my type." followed by a wink towards me and a grin causing me to chuckle along with him. Aden clears his throat and dismisses himself to go get ready for the party. Reiley grabs my hand and pulls me to the conference room and down the hall to a bathroom. We walked in and I gasped at the size and beauty of it. I've only ever been able to take a cold shower in my cell, which wasn't much, only a small shower head coming from the concrete wall in the corner of the cell and it was accompanied by a metal toilet that had a sink attached to the back. This bathroom has multicolored brown tile floors along with a matching step in the shower that has one big spray head hanging from the top. There is a bath tub with massage jets that looks like it fits at least five people. The double vanity is made of solid oak with cooper sinks. The mirror above the vanity takes up almost the whole hall. Reiley puts his hand on my shoulder, scaring me out of my thoughts. "I have everything you will need to wash yourself there on the counter, along with a towel and a change of new clothes. I will wait for you in the hallway to shower so we can start off with a clean canvas."

"Thank you so much Reiley. I'll try to be quick." With that, Reiley steps out and I shut and lock the door. I turn the water on to scalding hot. Hey don't judge. I have never had a hot shower and i will take advantage of the opportunity. I strip my clothes off and step into the shower. I stand there with my head tilted back, letting the water cascade all over my body. The water flows like a peaceful rain storm so soothing. A few minutes later, I grab the shampoo and lather my hair. It smells like warm vanilla with a hint of cinnamon. I rinse then condition my hair and wash my body. I step out of the shower and dry myself, but only towel dry my hair. The clothes Reiley left me are a simple nude strapless bra and panty set along with a black pair of leggings that are the softest things I have ever put on my body. There's also a simple heather gray v-neck blouse and a pair of fluffy pink house slippers. I feel so pampered already and I haven't even started getting ready. I walk out of the bathroom and Reiley instantly grabs my hand and nearly drags me back to the conference room. Once we are back, I am placed in what Reiley calls a salon chair and the work begins. First, he pulls my hair back from my face and begins to apply all sorts of products to my face, claiming to be "prepping" my skin. I have no idea what any of this stuff is, but hey, he's supposed to be the expert, so I'll just go with it. Once he's done prepping, he applies makeup to my eyes. It's a simple look, with a small amount of gold glitter and black winged eye liner. He adds a light foundation and blends a little blush and a candy apple red lip with matching polish on my nails. Next is the hair. It's also kept simple with big beach waves descending down my back and a few smaller pieces framing my face. I slip into my dress, which is my favorite part, and Reiley helps me into the gold-strap heels and adds the gold and obsidian pendant and some earrings that match. After 3 whole hours, Reiley says he is finally done. He leads me to the large floor-length mirror and as soon as I step in front of it I can't help but let out a soft gasp. The person standing there looking back at me is a person I have never seen before. She looks confident, beautiful and even royal. Just then there's a knot at the door, taking me out of the thoughts. Reliey walks over to the door and opens it and I expected to see Beta Aden on the other side but I was wrong. The last person I expected was standing there. "Alpha Carter" Reiley bows respectfully to the man at the door. A huge scene of fear and danger washes over me so overwhelmingly that it makes my legs go weak and i almost fall over. The Alpha doesn't speak to Reiley but instead stares at me so intently that I'm frozen in place. He slowly makes his way over to me, stopping in front of me only inches away. Lowering his face to the crook of my neck and sniffing me for what seems like an eternity. "hmmm" he moans into my neck. Still frozen in place to scared to move. He raises his head and stares into my eyes. Lifting his hand, he runs his fingers down the length of my arm, starting at my shoulder. "If it weren't for the Luna, you would be mine and not an object to be sold. A piece of precious merchandise." Ugh i despise this man. Does he really think women are just objects and can just be sold? What is wrong with him and any other man who has that mindset? I just stand there and don't respond. "There are a lot of respected Alphas here today for the party. I expect you to be on your best behavior. Who knows, one of them could be the highest bidder and you most definitely don't want to get off on the wrong foot." The wicked grin on his face just grows as he rubs his thumb under my bottom lip. I ought to bite that disgusting hunk of useless flesh off. My stomach starts to feel quizzy and its contents seem to want to make a reappearance. Luckily, he removes his hand from my body and i give a simple nod, careful not to disrespect or anger him. He is still an Alpha. He takes a step back, one that is way too small if you ask me. " You will meet me at the top of the stairs and i will be escorting you down to the party and introducing you first to everyone." Good that means we will be able to make our escape quicker. I cant wait to be out of this place and take a deep breath of freedom. "You Bree, are my prized girl tonight, more exquisite then any of the others." He said, and it just makes me even more sick to my stomach. "If you don't mind me asking Alpha, how many other girls will be available for purchase this evening?" I asked trying not to sound disrespectful. "Just you and four others this time." With that he turns and quickly walks away. Before exiting, he turns and says "you have five minutes to be at the top of the stairs, you had best not be late."
