Vanessa (Chapter 2)
A few hours later, and many calls, we are in my Toyota driving to check on the families. Once there we walk into the big cabin. Our safe house is massive and able to hold us for a month. Seemed so long when it was planned but my anxiety was getting the best of me. How am I going to find acres of land? Money might not be an issue, but finding the right land is going to be hard. Plus, there is building the cabins. Once the rounds are done, we go to my office to talk. An hour later we have a plan and some places to look at first thing in the morning. “Look Ves, you know I will protect you, but there is one place we have not thought to look.” Marty looks at me with these deep green eyes. That look may work on some blondes. But not this one. I stand straight up and look up at him. I may be 5’ 3”, but I will still take his 6’ ass down.
Marty backs down. We have been down this road; I am Alpha for a reason. Marty is probably reliving that day we faught for Alpha. See my father was Alpha with Marty’s father as his Beta. The rules say the future Alpha and Beta must fight to see which strong blood line is worthy of being Alpha. Everyone knew it would be close, growing up we faught together, trained together. We were even but my natural Alpha power was hidden, even to him, was what took it. Marty of course has strength as his power, my power is special. The last known Alpha to have it, is an old story of Alpha Prime. According to the ledgen only the best and strongest can be an Alpha Prime, they will have this power, but to unlock it completely they have to find their true mate. Mates are hard to find, most do not. The ones who don’t find love, just not this complete love.
Marty speaks again, “Alpha look, you need to see if this wolf is legit, according to the rumors he has more land than he knowns what to do. In Indiana! Our people do not want to move, let alone out of the State and we both know these options are worthless. I know they say he is the Kind of Wolves, but that so-called King has not met you. He won’t know what hit him. You will have him eating out of your paw before lunch!” I smile up at him, and this is why he is my Beta. I simply put my answer, “King? Really? That King will not sell to a sad little woman!” Marty blinks, he can’t believe what I just said. I laugh, “okay, fine, fine, YOU will schedule a meeting. And help me pick out a kick ass outfit.” He hugs me and whispers deal into my ear. He goes to his office to make the call. I think about this so-called King. His name is Asher. I wonder if Marty knows anything about him. “That doesn’t matter, this King will bow at our feet.” My wolf is in my head talking, she thinks this King will be a sad wolf compared to us. I laugh and tell my wolf game on!
I walk into my attached bedroom and start looking through my closet. I have dresses everywhere by the time Marty walks in, in his process I throw a dress over my shoulder and it lands on him. “This is not really my color.” He laughs as he throws in down, “Alright stop! Tomorrow morning at 10am we are meeting him for Brunch. That is a long drive, so we need to leave at 6am.” I look at him as if he has grown another head, “Are you trying to make sure I look like an i***t! What kind of Beta does not give me at least a day to go shopping! I have seriously nothing to wear, all my good clothing BURNED!” Marty laughs so hard he bends down holding his stomach, “Do you really think so little of me Alpha Queen?” I jerk at that name; it was what my mom said my true Alpha name was. I always wonder what that meant but she told me I would find out when I met my mate. I shouldn’t have told Marty this, but he knows everything. Marty finally stops laughing and walks into the hall and grabs a present. He throws it at me. I snatch it before it can hit me in the face. “Open it Alpha Queen, you won’t regret it.”
My eyes flash, my wolf close to the surface. He keeps calling me Alpha Queen, and I have no idea why it is making my wolf react this way. It makes my wolf hackles rise. I tear the paper off the box. On top of it sits an envelope. I open it not ready for what I would find inside.
Our Dearest Vanessa,
We miss you our sweet girl. We hope this gift is given at the right time. We trust Marty to know when that is, as he knows you as well as you know yourself. We told him to give you this when the time felt right to him. When you are faced with something bigger than yourself. His family have always been great at feeling when something big is coming. His father saved your father once due to this feeling. Trust Marty with your life, for when he says jump, you jump. We love you and we hope these gifts will make you not only feel alive but like the Alpha Prime you are. And to become the Alpha Queen. Yes our love that story we told you while you were a young pup is actually a prophecy and we believe you are the true Alpha Queen. We have and always will be there watching over you; your wolf powers will bring you power. Just remember to not abuse that power and most of all never forget to follow your heart.
Love,
Ma & Pa
Your blood line is one of the strongest in history, so your family have always been called Alpha Primes. You are Venessa Prime, daughter of Troy and Caitlin Prime. Your parents always told you about the history of the family and the powers that the family has always had. Which is why the pack is so big and strong. Nobody has dared to mess with the Prime family. Though when you took over as Alpha, the other packs were freaking out about a woman as Alpha. When they would test you, you would think back to the story of the future Alpha Queen. She would be the first of her kind, she would be the strongest physically and mentally of all the Alpha’s. The only way she could achieve this was if she found her True Mate. And when she does, they will meet The One, the wolf of wolves, the God of the wolves. And if they passed his tests, their powers would be unlocked, and they would bring together all the wolves and every pack would have peace among them. No more bloodshed, no more war in general. It would be easier for others to find their True Mates which would then guarantee more happiness among the wolves.
I wipe the tears from my face not realizing I was crying. Marty sits on the edge of my bed waiting. I set the letter down. Opening the box, I gasp. My wolf howls at the moon. Inside is the most beautiful wolf pendant. The wolf is mid-run, silver as the moon, with a sapphire as his eye. You hold it and feel the moon in your soul. You look back in the box to see a silver dress. Pulling it out you can’t believe this design. Marty is completely forgotten as you put the dress on. When you turn around Marty’s eyes are dark. “Ves if you wear that I might have to kill this so-called King.” You turn again to look in the mirror. And you can see what he means. You know you look hot, but in this dress, you look every inch like an Alpha Queen. It is not just some pretty dress, you honestly look like you should be sitting on a thrown. Marty comes up and hands you silver heels and puts the pendant around your neck. “Ready Alpha?” I smile at him through the mirror, “Hell Yeah!”
