The Nomad

Week two

On monday the headmasters called everybody to the back field for a meeting. During which it was announced what the curriculum would be for the next week along with new schedules being handed out. Future alpha Drake noticed that I hadn't received a schedule and began whispering to his friends loud enough for me to hear.

"What the child is already being removed?"

"Maybe she's homesick"

"I totally saw this coming"

I stood there grinning listening to their idiodic rambling until the headmistress interrupted. She silenced everybody using her Luna aura.

"Alpha J and I have already spoken about her class schedule. She is free to explain if she would like to, but she also owes nobody an eplanation. J would you like me to tell them?" She looked to me for approval.

I made sure to address the headmistress with respect; shoulders back, chin up, voice clear and even. "Ma'am you may go over all of my marks with anybody here. I have no fear or shame for this."

Her features went cold as she turned to the crowd again. "Alpha J has scored higher than any past or present Alpha we have had. This is not on only one aptitude test but every single test we gave her. She has agreed to focus on pack history for week 2 since this is the only subject that her mark isn't at 100%. At the end of week 2 she will be the only student that will be exempt from being sent home." She paused for dramatic effect; I've noticed she fine amusement in making people uncomfortable. "Alphas nobody here has higher marks in any subject then J so I suggest you stop treating her like a child and accept that she is an Alpha." With that she dismissed everybody to there rooms before class started.

I made my way to the library where I've been studying for the last few days. The headmistress checks on me every few hours to see if I needed help or had any questions, but so far I've found everything I needed without help. Today was one of her heavy class days; which meant if I needed anything I'd have to go find her, this wasn't a problem tho since I had a copy of her schedule.

While I was reading about the Darkmoon pack and their past Alphas the door flew open allowing 2 of the other students to stroll in. Katara immediately sensed the threat and rose to the surface.

"John trouble in the library. Get here immediately"

"on my way Alpha" We closed the link and I took in the other students. Both were tall and well built and had to be at least 16.

They moved towards the sports section across the room and started browsing. I could hear the blonde one whispering to the brunette.

"Dude she's just studying let's leave her be."

"No Sam, that b***h needs to learn her place sooner or later. Now is the perfect chance while the headmistress is busy and she has no backup" They turned and looked at me thinking I couldnt hear their conversation.

"That's on you man. I'm not beating up a child." Blondie rolled his eyes and continued looking for a book while his friend began approaching me.

"Katara are you ready"

"Always J"

As the boy came closer I took a calming breath waiting for what comes next. He sat on my desk and shoved my books to the floor.

"What are you doing little Alpha? Trying to learn how to overthrow our packs?" The brunette spat with venom in his words

"I'm trying to become a better Alpha. Please leave me to my studies." I said through gritted teeth.

He leaned closer until he was inches from my ear. "You are meant to be a weak Luna. Nobody will every respect a child like you as their Alpha."

"So why bother with me? You're suppose to be a future Alpha; yet you cant find anything more constructive to do with your time than bother a child. I feel bad for any pack with such a useless Alpha as yourself." That earned a chuckle from Sam as he was more into our conversation then the book he was looking at.

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my cheek as the brunette slapped me across the face. Oh now he f****d up. I stood from my chair and punched the brunette in the face causing him to stumble backward a few steps. Once he regained his senses he dropped into a defensive stance and charged at me.

I slid between his legs and kicked off the back of his right knee causing him to drop to a better vantage point. Once down I took a handful of his hair in one hand while sliding the other around his throat allowing my claws to dig in slightly to keep him in place. Leaning to his ear I began whispering.

"I already have plenty of blood on my hands, do not make me add yours to the list. Come at me again and I will not hesitate to kill you as I killed the last rogue that attacked me." I felt him swallow hard making me smile at his fear. I retracted my claws and shoved the brunette forward as the door swung open and in walked John with the headmistress.

"What is going on here!" She was fuming. I froze not sure if I was in trouble or not.

Sam stepped from the racks and cleared his throat making me jump. "ma'am if I may explain?"

"Continue samuel" She gestured for blondie to step forward.

"Well ma'am Thomas here got it in his mind that Alpha J wasn't fit for the title. I tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted on approaching her assuring me it was just to talk and gauge her knowledge. I came with incase he decided to do something stupid like attacking her." He paused to catch his breath, "When Thomas spoke to Alpha J I could feel his anger rising until she said something. He just snapped and smacked her across the face. I was about to intervene when she stood up, it was only a matter of seconds before she had Alpha Thomas pinned and submitting. Then you guys came in." He gave a somber look to his friend before sitting down at my table.

"Alpha J is that all corrct?"

"yes ma'am"

"and what did you say to antagonize the young alpha into hitting you?"

"Ma'am I simply informed him that I feel pity for any pack whose Alpha would rather harass a child than better themselves." I flashed her a quick smirk before returning my eyes to the floor.

"and you took him down yourself?"

"yes ma'am"

"okay take your books and continue your studies somewhere else. Sam you're dismissed as well, but in the future inform me if another Alpha my be in danger. I would hate any of our students to be hurt here."

Thomas had climbed off the floor while I was turning to leave the library. "Wait!" I turned around knowing he was talking to me.

"how. how did you kill the last rogue?"

I winked at Thomas. "John would you like to tell him for me?" John smiled, he loved telling this story, locking eyes with Thomas he began. "She used her claws to paralyze him at the neck then ripped his head from his shoulders." I seen the color drain from his face as he turned and began throwing up. Clearly hes never been in a true fight. With that Sam and I left allowing the headmistress and John to deal with Thomas.
