pov Lora
I sat down and awaited the news while holding my breath in anticipation. I couldn't think of anything to do because I was so bored, so I stood up every minute and peered out the window to see if my father had arrived yet. I kept expecting him to be there.
My gather had gone to participated in the competition held in the Alpha palaces to determine whether or not he would be chosen to serve as the beta for the palace. I was the last child in my family, so everyone looked up to me and regarded me with reverence.
After a short while, I heard my father's voice coming from the living room, so I got up and raced down the stairs to the living room. When I got there, I saw my father talking to my mother, so I ran up to him and greeted him.
Father, It's been a very long time since we last spoke, and I had no idea when you were going to show up. Father, tell me about your trip to the Alpha palaces. How was it? Did you end up making the cut? I say this with a cheery expression on my face.
Lora, pay attention. I can imagine how ecstatic you must be right now, but I am truly sorry that I was not selected.
After he said it, I felt the corners of my mouth turn down into a frown.
Who did he end up picking, then? I pointed out...
Nobody.
Nobody? I inquire.
Yes, Lora, he picked no one since he wasn't confident in his decision just yet.
As I glanced at my father, I could see the hopelessness in his eyes. I am aware of how ardently he desired to play the role of the Alpha's beta, and I am aware of the ambitious plans he had for our family name. Even though my family did not have a lot of money, we always managed to find ways to make each other laugh and smile. When I looked at my dad, I saw that he was upset, and that made my chest hurt.
I apologized for interrupting you, and I left the building. I decided to take a seat and think about what I might do to make my father happy. Then, after a brief interval of reflection, an idea occurred to me.
What happens if I make my way to the palace and challenge the alpha there? It's possible that he'll let my dad take the lead role. This was a dream that my father had, and I wish that I could make it come true for him. In any case, I turned 17 this year, so you can no longer refer to me as a young girl.
I got to my feet and started walking out of the house in the direction of the Alpha Palace, but I was so preoccupied with the thoughts running through my head that I failed to notice the guy in front of me and knocked him over.
Oh, I'm sorry, I said as I attempted to lift him, and I apologized for my error.
"It's not a big deal; I just wasn't paying attention to where I was going." He said.
When I glanced into his eyes, it was as if everything in the world suddenly stopped being. It seemed like there was nothing else in the world that I wanted more than to be with him; my heart was beating so quickly, and all I wanted at the time was for him to be with me. I felt like there was nothing else in the world that I wanted more than to be with him.
Good day, Miss. I hope all is well with you. I was able to pick up what he was saying.
I'm sorry I was just going to say, but never mind, I'm sorry once more.
I was able to get away from him before he could say anything else, and soon after that, I found myself in front of the palace. I was getting ready to go inside when one of the guards stopped me.
No one is allowed in, and what exactly is your function within the palace?
I took a glance at the security guy who had just stated that, and because he was so huge and intimidating, I decided it was necessary for me to speak up.
I'm Lora, and my mother, Emilia, is the Chief in Council's wife. I'm the daughter of the Chief in Council. I've been told to meet with the Alpha because I need to discuss something with him, so here I am.
When I was in the middle of explaining this, I heard the security guard laughing.
You have no right to enter the palace and you have no right to imagine that you can just stroll in and chat to the Alpha without being invited. You have no right. Get out of here immediately or you'll get into trouble.
I am not a weak girl, I asserted with self-assurance, I am knowledgeable and wise, and I will not proceed with anything until I have seen the Alpha.
I sat down in front of him, and he continued to look at me as if I were nuts; just as he was about to pick me up and throw me away, we both heard a voice.
Let her be, because she is a guest.the Alpha spoke.
After giving the guard a dirty look and sticking my tongue out at him, I went ahead and entered the palace. I bow because I wanted to show the Alpha that I respected him, I continued to walk behind him without saying a word.
The question is, young lady, what advice do you have for me? As he glanced at me, he asked the question.
My Alpha, I came here to seek your response concerning my father, I anxiously said. I wanted to know what you thought about him.
Who exactly is this father that you keep bringing up?
my mother is Emily and my father is the Chief in Council, that makes me the last kid in our family, and I have come here to humbly request that you recognize my father as the beta in our community.
Wow, you really know what you're talking about, and I admire your sense of authority. I applaud your bravery and I am delighted that you came here to speak on behalf of your father. While it is true that your father came for the competition, but I don't have a decision yet to make.
my Alpha, You don't know very much about my father, but he's a courageous man who is always involved in his work. Having him as your beta would never cause you to second-guess your choice, so if you could please allow him to be your beta, it would be much appreciated by me. According to what I've been told, you're a good and well-known man who works for everyone's rights while also being blessed with a lovely kid whom I have yet to meet; despite this, I promise you there's nothing to worry about if you allow my father to demonstrate his worth to you.
After I had finished speaking, I became aware of the way in which he was staring at me, and for a fleeting instant, I questioned whether or not I had just said something that had infuriated him.
You're quite astute for your age, young one, and I'll have to oblige you in recognition of your bravery and civility. He gave me a grin as he looked down at me and grinned. Please relay the news to your father that he has been selected to serve as my betta and that he is more than welcome to pay a visit to the palace the following day.
I was very happy when I heard that, and I knew it was the finest news I'd ever received, so I rushed out of his presence and ran back to him while bowing. I did this since it was the best news I'd ever heard.
Thank you, sir. You have no clue how appreciative I am for what you have just done, nor how much joy it has brought into my heart. You are indeed a remarkable human being, thank you so much, sir.
As I hurriedly exited the building in the direction of my house, I was confronted by the same individual as before.
He greeted me by saying, "Hey, it's you again."
That would be me, yes. I had recently left the palace, and I was currently traveling back to my house.
Did you visited the palaces? He questioned me about it...
The palace, you are correct I did, I explained to him...
What drew you there in the first place? He ask.
I give him a quick look over as I try to decipher the motivation behind the peculiar inquiry that he's just asked me.
Hey, you might be pretty, but I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't bother me with a question like that. Please.i said with anger.
Okay, I guess I was just curious as to why, and please accept my apologies if you took offense to what I said.
It's nothing, but in case you were wondering, I went to meet the Alpha to inquire about the possibility of my father being his beta. I said while maintaining an upbeat demeanor.
Really? He ask shock.
Indeed, you have that completely right.
But why are you going to do that? he questioned.
Are you addressing me or the walls when you speak?
You are aware that I am going to question you why you did that, and he consented to do so.
Indeed, he did, and for that I am grateful to him.
Pay attention, young woman.
No, my name is Lora, and contrary to popular belief, I am not a woman.
You just made a mistake, Lora, and you should turn down that offer. Even though the name is beautiful, you shouldn't take it.
I stare at him as if he was crazy and ask.
Why?
due to the fact that I am quite familiar with the Alpha.
He reply back.
You do.
Yes, and you should avoid having any contact with him.
You spoke with me as if you are really, really familiar with him; could it be that you are his son?
After I had said it to him, I looked over and saw him stroking his hair.
No, I am not his son; rather, I am just a random person who is attempting to help.
Well, thank you very much for your aid; unfortunately, I must now depart; I will see you later, lovely guy.
I immediately sped out in the direction of my home with the intention of informing my loved ones there of the fantastic news.
As soon as I walked in the door, I could see my mother coming toward me.
Hello, Mom. What came to pass? Who is it that makes you feel so tense?
Where on earth have you been, Lora? We've been looking for you.
Please don't worry about me, mom; I haven't misplaced anything; I just went to the palace, and that's all there is to it.
You went to the Palace? As their where approaching me, I overheard my father remark.
I did, indeed, father, and I have some wonderful news for you.
Lora, what could possibly be the news that you have? You'll never be able to put things right with that duck head of yours, unless of course you're always the one causing issues. My other brother, Gudi, says.
How frustrating it is to watch her make her way to the palace when all you have to do is gaze at her. My other sister, Sarah, was also one of the speakers.
"Can the two of you keep shut?" were yelled at them by my father. Despite the vast amount of brains that you both possess, Lora has more common sense than either of you.
I can't help but chuckle as I look over at my brother and sister and smile.
My father asked me, "what happened Lora? Tell me what you were doing when you went to the palace."
father, I've come to implore you that the Alpha want you as his beta in the palace.
My dad couldn't believe what he was hearing.
I happily shout "yes, father, and guess what you've been chosen for!" in response to his question.
Do you imply that he selected me?
Yes, father, you are the one who has been selected, and the alpha has informed me that you will be able to go to the palace tomorrow.
Lora hope You're telling us the truth, my mother spoke, and I really hope you're not joking, right?
Why, Mother, Do I Have to Make You Laugh When I'm Trying to Tell You the Truth? Mama, I went there, and he said it himself while I was there. I make it clear that if you don't believe what I say, I won't believe what you say either.
As I was getting ready to depart, my father gave me a bear embrace.
You have no clue how pleased I am; you have been a blessing to both your mother and me, and I don't know how to explain how thankful I am. Thank you, my child; you have no concept how thrilled I am.
There is no need for you to be concerned, Father; if I can't make you happy, who else can?
You should know that we are right here. Both Gudi and Sarah made the following statements...
I am grateful to you for your bravery, and I hope that you will one day obtain your power just like every other wolf has.
As soon as my father said that, I felt my joy turn into melancholy; ever since I was born, I've been as powerless as nothing, and I've been nothing more than average. As I walk inside my room, shut the door behind me, and open the window, I put on an act of smiling for my mother. When I gazed up at the night sky and noticed how the moonlight was shining on me, it made me smile.
I won't be like the other wolf, and I don't want to be different, but sometimes I wish I could be like the other wolf so that things would be simpler for me. I also wonder who is the guy who I came across before. Why did he not want it to be that I accepted the offer that the Alpha made? Why did he think it wasn't appropriate for my dad to be the beta? Did he have any knowledge about the Alpha? Is everyone in the palace in the dark about something that's taking place at the palace? What if my father gets there, and then something terrible takes place? It is impossible for that to be true; he does not want my dad to be the beta; perhaps he is envious of my dad. After doing so, I went to my bedroom and turned off the light. Soon after that, I started hearing voices outside my window, and as a result, I was unable to sleep. As a result, I stood up and went to my wisdom to close the window, but just as I was about to do so, I noticed a bluish eye staring at me, and before I knew it, it had disappeared. I couldn't sleep until I shut the window.
What exactly is that, and who is the individual?
I look around, but I don't see anyone; I don't understand why it would come to my window. After I have finished thinking about it, I go to my room, close the window, and get into bed. I hope and pray that the day after tomorrow is wonderful.
