Finding The Alphas

"But why do I have to drive the transport bus for the ball?" I inquired of my father. He is the alpha of the Black Storm Pack in South Louisiana. He was blessed *exaggerated eye roll* with 2 daughters instead of a strong male alpha son. There is nothing more embarrassing for a strong Alpha than to not have a strong son to pass the title to. Some packs are okay with women being the alpha but ours is too old fashion for that. Women should take care of the house and the pups and be pretty but not be involved in pack buisness. So gross! "Because you and Elysabeth just turned 18 and it's time to start looking for your mates!" He aggressively spat out. "I would like to pass the pack on one day but that's not going to happen without one of you getting a mate! This is what I get for only having daughters!" "Oh, I see what this is about. It's time we go out and find you the sons you always wanted! Time we gave you something to not be so ashamed of!" I screamed as I marched out of the room and headed to the room I shared with my twin. I am so tired of always being looked at like I am some unwanted dirt in my father's eyes. Maybe this will be good and we can find our mates in some other pack and not have to deal with this anymore! To hell with this pack and their alpha! I don't even care if they get a new alpha or continue on as a pack! Their views and ideas are too old school and honestly, I'm tired of it! I am just as capable as a man to run this pack! Maybe more so if they think the same way as my father! I stormed into the room I have always shared with my sister and she just knew I was beyond pissed. Sure, maybe sometimes I was a bit dramatic and yes, I can fly off the handle pretty quick but this is about what's right! "What happened this time?" Elysabeth asked me. She knows I can be a bit dramatic but it is the curse that comes along with being the more dominant twin. She is the sweet, calm, people pleasing sister while I am the one that makes sure she isn't pushed around. "He is making me drive the transport bus to Blood Moon so we can try and find our mates. We turned 18 two days ago and he can't wait to get rid of us and replace us with the Sons he always wanted. He needs a strong male leader to run the pack so he can retire and he was cursed with girls." I rolled my eyes with a look of disgust on my face. Ever since our mom died he has been a nightmare to live with. I'm not saying he was a great father then but she was a great mom and she kept him from going dark. "Oh. Well it would be nice to find our mates! Plus, our pack will need an Alpha one day. I just wish Mom was here. She would know how to handle this better.." Elysabeth, always the optimistic one. "Well, I guess it won't hurt to look around. Plus, a road trip does sound like fun! Let's pack our bags and get ready to head out. We leave in the morning!" I released a sigh and got to work. We spent the rest of the evening packing our clothes and hanging out with our friends. There are so many of us going to attend the mating ball this year. It will probably be a lot of fun with all our friends hanging out even if we don't find our mates. We didn't see our father again until the next morning when it was time to load up to leave. "Everyone, remember you are representing the Black Storm pack this week. Make sure you are leading by example," my father looks me in the eyes as he says this, "I hope you all find your mates this week and give us a reason to celebrate when you come back! Have a safe trip!" After he walks off the stage we all turn and head to the bus. Our luggage is loaded in the back and we all load on and get comfortable. Well, as comfortable as you can get driving a bus for 2 hours for me. And off we go on this forced adventure.
