Chapter Two: Alpha

I quickly found my father downstairs in his office. I could tell he was pissed before I even walked into the room.

"Where the fuck were you?" he yells. His icy blue eyes were almost gray with anger. His dishwater blonde hair was a mess like he had been running his fingers through it over and over again.

"I called you over two hours ago Nyx, I expect you to come when I call," he says as he walks across the large room towards me. It's a modern room with white walls and black crown molding. There is a large desk at the center of the room with big floor-to-ceiling windows behind it. I often joke and ask if he plans to run for president since his office looks like the Oval Office.

"Last time I checked Father, I wasn't some bitch you can command to do your bidding," I say with a smirk.

The next thing I knew he was in my face. He is 6'7" tall and solid muscle like any Alpha should be. His jaw was square and I could see his pulse in his neck. I am the only person who has to guts to say anything to him everyone else is afraid of his temper.

Without thinking I look at him and smile thump his nose and say "Bad dog no biscuit." He bursts into laughter and hugs me.

Compared to him I am small. I am only 5'8" with large breasts and curves for days. I have long strawberry-blonde hair a round face and a small mouth.

"You always know how to calm me down kiddo. I am sorry I am angry. It's just taken me two weeks to tack this man down and bring him here to see you." He says as he lets go of me.

"I think he is my mate daddy, I can feel him. At first, I thought my mother had arrived because I felt the power. But then I realized they are way stronger than even her."

"He is here speaking with Eric. He has been in Oklahoma City speaking with Marco and the other Vampire elders before he came here. Like you, they want to keep him safe, just as they have done for the last 1000 years. They also want to make sure it's really him and not some imposter your mother has sent." He says with sadness in his eyes. Eric is showing him around first so he can get an idea of who we are and you you were raised".

He really loved my mother. His true mate Honi had been killed a few years before my birth. She died to save my older brother Tate from her father. The Alpha of the Arapaho pack. He was angry that my mother had accepted my father as her mate and had borne him a son. A war broke out between our pack and theirs and ended when Honi died. My father then dove into learning how to be an Alpha from his father and ensuring Tate understood his mother died to save him. Tate is now the Alpha of the Arapaho pack as when he was 22 he killed his grandfather and claimed what was his.

My father met my mother when he had to go to a meeting with the Vampire elders to ensure they kept the peace treaty in place. There had been a battle between another pack and the vampires. My mother had been injured and had been taking in more blood to heal her wounds.

A vampire cannot get pregnant unless they are taking in almost double the blood than normal. This is how she became pregnant the very first night they were together. When they told the Elders and the Alphas they all vowed to keep me alive and safe. The test done at birth said I was just Vampire from what they could tell. So my mother only allowed my father to see me occasionally and kept me away attempting to raise me as a vampire.

Until I was 12 and shifted. In her anger she caused an earthquake and several severe storms to break out. She attacked me but my father saved me and proved that he was the most powerful Alpha around. I still see the anger in her eyes. Her normal Green eyes turned red. I was confused I didn't understand what I had done. Her red Hair seemed to catch fire. She was always so kind and loving towards me that it totally shocked me. She had always hated that the only thing she could see of herself in me was the slight red that was in my hair. If she could see me now she would know that I have her same curves and height. I also have her powers to control the elements. I can read minds and control them I have more speed and the wolf mixed in causes some fun things that I am still learning to control.

"I am sorry I angered you. I just needed some time to myself. This morning I discovered a new power and I needed to figure it out."

The look on his face told me that my powers seemed to scare him a little. "What would that be Kiddo?" He asked trying to hide his feelings.

"Telekinesis but in a much stronger form. I was able to move objects and then decided to see if I could mix the earth's elements and move trees and rock. Turns out I can." I replied with indifference.

"You are definitely more powerful than your mother, she can only do that angry not calm. But be careful if she senses your power she may come running," he says in warning.

I suddenly sense the strange man again. Just then Eric walks in. "Alpha Xander Is ready to see Nyx," he says as he bows his head at my father.

Eric smiles at me and winks as he walks off."Let's go kiddo it's time to meet your mate". He says as he brings me in for another hug.

"What if I don't want to meet him? I don't want to leave here Daddy I've traveled plenty in the Marines I have no need to leave here". I asked in all seriousness

I see the spark of anger again in his eyes, everyone else does as he says but not me. I'm just like my mother in that way as well.

"You will go with him if he is your mate Nyx Drakos you have no say in the matter". He says with finality.

"The fuck I don't have a say. I'm 28 years old you can't tell me what to do anymore. If it's not the man I've had dreams about since I was 18 years old then there is no fucking way I'll go with him". I say as I feel my anger rising.

I can tell my eyes are now purple. I usually can control them and keep them blue or green but my wolf is coming and her eyes are purple.

"What do you mean by the man you have dreamed about? Why haven't you told me?" I could see the concern in his eyes. I really didn't want to tell him. He knew about my nightmares from being in the military the Alpha bond allowed him to feel some of my emotions it also helped him to wake me up if they were too bad.

"I've seen him in my dreams almost every night for the last 10 years. If I'm having a nightmare sometimes he comes in and calms me down. if it's not him Dad I can't do it. I won't do it. if he can't calm the beast that's within me he can't be my mate." I was on the verge of tears telling him made me feel like I had broken the man in my dreams trust.

"Well he is here kiddo so now is the time to find out. Let's go meet him".
