The Alpha's wayward daughter

They know..

Standing in my doorway holding a video camera were some of the freshman boys from the pack. Sky jumped away from me as if I was some diseased creature. They laughed as if they had just heard the funniest joke of their life.

"Score! This is going to be legendary on the school page! The alpha's daughter and the throwaway from another pack!".

I jolted up from my bed and lunged for the phone. Immediately, as if the place was on fire, they took off down the stairs and ran out of the house. They were gone before I could catch up with them. In defeat, I retreated back to my room to find Sky sobbing on my bed. I tried to comfort her but, unsurprisingly, it was of no use.

We both knew what would happen if that video was posted online. My parents would kill me, and she would be cast out as a rogue. My father would not allow her to stay in this pack if he knew she had been in bed with his daughter. There was only one thing to do. I needed to find out exactly who those boys were, and what I could do to get them to hand over the tape.

Rubbing Sky on the back before leaving the room, I set about asking everyone at the party for the names and phone numbers of the boys I'd chased out of my home. Using the excuse that they were spying on me while changing and I wanted to teach them a lesson, it wasn't hard to find a group of girls sympathetic enough to my reasoning that they quickly turned on the freshman and handed over their contact info.

Collecting my thoughts, I composed what I thought would be just the right message to get my point across.

"I managed to get your names and numbers in only a matter of minutes. Imagine how easily it would be for me to get even more info on you, like perhaps the names of your parents? I wonder what they would say if I came knocking to explain their sons had been spying on the daughter of their beloved alpha and video taped a very private, intimate moment in her bedroom, and then used it to humiliate her? I wonder what they'd do, or better yet what my father will do when I tell him. Things could get very messy for both you and your families. Now, I'd be willing to make a deal to avoid all these unnecessary life-ruining consequences for you. You bring me the footage, ensure me that there was no copy made, and in turn I'd be willing to do something for you. Just name your price. You have 1 hour.".

I hit send and went to check on Sky again. By the time I got up there, she'd already stopped crying and was whipping her ruined mascara off in my mirror. Showing her the text message seemed to perk her up a bit. I brushed her hair back off of her shoulder and bent down to gently kiss her neck. Immediately, she turned to face me and asked if we could talk.

My wolf sighed, this is how everything bad happens when you like someone, those three stupid words. I really really liked her too. Guess it will be all over before it even begins. Damn. Reluctantly, I agreed and took a seat on the bed. Taking my hand in hers, she sat down beside me.

"What if, what if we didn't have to hide who we are? I mean, lots of girls fool around with each other in high school, saving themselves for their mate. What if you know, we just let everyone find out and said screw it. I really like you, Isis, and I never knew there was another wolf out there like me. My mom made me believe I was cursed, rejected by the moon goddess because I was damaged goods. But here you are, the alpha's daughter, and literally made in the image of the goddess herself. If you were born this way too, then it can't be a mistake. She made us this way for a reason, and maybe, just maybe it was to change the way things are. I mean, lots of humans are gay and it's okay for them. They can even get married and have families. Maybe it's time the wolf laws caught up with the rest of the world, ya know?".

I sat there silent, too stunned to speak. Never in a million years did I think I would hear those words, my dream, coming from someone else's mouth. Especially not the mouth of my crush. Tears quietly began to flow down my cheeks. She wiped them away with her thumb, and allowed her hand to linger, caressing my cheek, her eyes searching mine with hope.

Hope that I would accept her crazy offer. Part of me was terrified about what would happen when my father found out. Terrified that this would be what got us both killed or cast away. But a bigger part of me, the best part, just simply didn't care. I was so tired of hiding, to be out in the open was all I craved for years.

To hell with what everyone thinks, didn't they teach us in school that we have to make our own happiness? That we needed to just reach out and take it, that no one would just give it to us. Well, that's what I'm doing. I'm making my own happiness, and I'm making it with her.

Without hesitation, I pulled her into a kiss. Time seemed to stretch on forever with neither of us coming up for air. The only reprieve was caused by the sudden chirp of my phone. Our little peeping toms wanted to meet.

"20 minutes, by the creek", the text read.

When we walked downstairs, most of the guests had already left for the night, a few stragglers were mingling on the front lawn. I locked up the house and headed, hand in hand with Sky, to the creek behind my house. The boys were already waiting, looking apologetic and a little scared if you asked me.

"Well boys, do we have a deal or what?".

"Yea, were really sorry Isis. We were just kidding around. Please don't tell your dad. We'll give you the video. All we ask is if you do us one small favor?".

While I was in no mood to be doing these assholes any favors, I needed that footage back. Sure, me and Sky decided we were ready to come out, but we were going to do it on our terms, not the terms of some jerk off pre-pubescent boys that probably wanted to get off to the footage.

"What do you want?".

"Just, tell some of the other girls that you think were cool maybe? Everyone hangs on your every word and, well, we kind of accidentally pissed off some of the senior guys. So they spread a rumor that we, ya know, get each other off because we can't get laid. We've been having trouble making friends or talking to any girls since. We only took the video because we thought it would make us popular, ya know? We're really sorry.".

Instantly a pang of regret stuck in my throat. If I'd realized they were already being bullied, I never would have been so hard on them. I happily agreed and traded for the footage. No one deserves that kind of treatment. Before the boys could turn to leave, I stopped them. There was just one more piece of information I needed to get tonight.

"Who exactly are those boys who spread that rumor? I think they are in need of a little sweet thing called payback.".

They lit up with wide grins at the request and happily gave up the names of their tormentors and then headed on their way. Typical boys giggling and pushing each other back and forth like school girls. I walked Sky to her car and gave her a long kiss goodnight. Promising to meet her in the parking lot before school tomorrow, I headed off to the house.

Tomorrow was going to be a big day. Sky and I would reveal ourselves to the whole school, and I would seek revenge on those pathetic seniors who thought it would be cute to bully the younger boys. But that was tomorrow, as for tonight. Well, I think I'll put this footage the young pups provided me with to good use.

After all, I was pent up with all that s****l frustration from being interrupted just as I was about to finish. I slipped the DVD into the disc drive of my laptop and hit play. This was going to be the best movie yet, and I just happened to be the star.
