THE ALPHA QUEEN’s DESIRE

LINDSEY’S POV I’m running, as fast as I can. My lungs can't take the pressure anymore, and I can hear the howl of the wolves behind. I’m trying to lose them but nothing is working. I can see light ahead, I hope somebody is there to help me. CHAPTER 1 My name is Lindsey Snow. Snow because of my shocking icy blue eyes I am the pack’s runt, small and easy to bully but they don’t do it near my dad. He’s the alpha of our pack, a very protective and ruthless alpha. The name of our pack is the Lakemoon pack, named after the lake which shines with the reflection of the moon during the full moon I know you are wondering why I’m susceptible to bullying because I’m the alpha’s daughter and I’m supposed to be strong and ruthless like my dad. Well, I’m not his biological daughter, I was found on the pack borders in the snow and my foster father took me in despite warnings and threats from pack elders. The pack elders are six grown men who decide on important events in the pack and even my foster father has to run some things by them before making a decision. I mean six grown men who don't mind their business Taking me in was the first act of disobedience that my father made towards the elders. Today is Monday again and even though I’m excited about school and learning, those delinquents make it impossible to actually learn and I have to face those same people in school today. I met Dean in the hallway, my biggest bully. Dean is gorgeous, he has electric eyes, has an amazing build, and is the captain of the basketball team. He is also my dad’s beta son and the future beta of my pack, but to me, he is nothing but a wicked heart with a pretty face. He greeted me by shoving me against the lockers. The pain hit me sharply and I could feel a large bruise forming on my arm ” Hey runt,” Dean said “hiii Dean” I stumbled out “Who gave you the guts to look at me uhnn” Dean questioned, I looked down, frightened, shaking in my Jordans. Dean looked down and I could see greed and envy flashed past his green eyes“Those are some nice sneakers you’ve got there,” Dean said and I hurriedly took them off and gave him without a word. He said, “If anyone asks, you gave them willingly to me, got it?” I nodded muttering a faint “yes” Then he left me standing in the hallway, alone, in pain, and shoeless. I shrugged and muttered “Guess I have to wear a sweatshirt during dinner again.” The day goes by in a blur of kids pouring stuff over my head and tripping me in hallways,classes, and the cafeteria. As soon as the bell rang, I ran home praying I wouldn’t meet either Dean or his pets on the way home. The run home was tedious, my mind spinning on what to tell dad if he got home before me. Is it “Dad I tripped and fell into a can of garbage or the kids in school poured garbage on me ?” I got home before Dad and rushed to the shower to wash all the filth that was dumped on my body in school. I thank the moon goddess that Dad comes home late because he will be furious if he finds out what his pack members do to his only daughter. Dad doesn’t have a mate or rather he never met her, so it’s just me and him in our world. Sometimes I feel sorry for him because he looks lonely but he never lets it affect our relationship, not even when the park members offer suggestions of taking a chosen mate because they want a Luna. A chosen mate is different from a fated mate and sometimes a shifter may not be able to reproduce with a chosen mate. “Kiddo” he shouted “ are you home “ “Yes Daddy” I shouted back, I was already out of the shower, still dripping wet. I got dressed in my usual sweatshirt and went downstairs to meet him. He saw me and shook his head saying” Sweatshirt again?” I replied “I’m feeling chilly tonight Daddy” He raised his hands in mock surrender and we settled into our night routine of Chinese takeout and Disney cartoons before we head to bed.
