ALPHA

JORDAN

I can't believe it. Just one more year till I’m Alpha.

If one was to ask me how I felt I would say that I was excited. The only thing that scares me would be the hunters.

There have been a lot of sightings of the hunters on different packs and I'm not sure how to handle them but that doesn't mean I would deny help if asked.

That is one thing I would never do.

I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice my mom walk in.

“Jordan, your father wishes to see you,” my mom said. I nearly jumped in fright but I couldn't do that, that would demonstrate me as a weak Alpha. I simply nodded at my mom and left my room.

I quickly made my way to his office thinking he would be there but he wasn't so I went to his room.

I knocked on the door then entered.

“Mom said you wanted to see me?” was the first thing out of my mouth.

“Yes Jordan, now sit,” he told me and gestured to the spot beside him on his bed. I obeyed and sat down beside him.

“I want to hand over the pack to you, today.”

Umm, wait, what?!

“But dad, I’m not supposed to be Alpha until next year,”

“I know that but I want to give it to you early. And also you will be going to that new mixed school. The one in town. I want you to have that typical high school feel. Lucky for you, your Beta and Gamma go there.” he told me.

“Yes dad,” I said as I left.

I went straight to the pack house (the Alpha has his own house but lives in his pack house through out his tenure as Alpha but his family can live in the pack house or the private house.) to go look for Ryan, my future Beta to tell him the news.

When I found him, I dragged him to his room to tell him. He was also shocked but seemed too happy.

“Why the heck are you smiling? This is serious!” I shouted at him.

“I know. I'm just so happy that I am going to be Beta by tomorrow and that you are coming to school with me,” he said.

I rolled my eyes and went home to prepare for becoming the pack’s next Alpha and by that I meant getting my stuff ready to be moved to the pack house.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°

When night fell, all the pack members, the past Alpha, Beta and Gamma along with the future ones were assembled outside of the pack house. My dad started the ceremony.

“Today marks the beginning of a new generation of leaders. In my final moments as Alpha, I order you, Midnight pack, to obey them.

“Now, I want you, the new generation of leaders to repeat after those before you.” my father said. With that, my attention was totally focused him.

“I, say your name, take on the role and responsibilities of the Alpha of Midnight pack. I promise to uphold the set laws, be a listening ear to the pack, guide them and above all protect them.” my dad said and I repeated it and put my name where necessary.

After we were done our palms were slit and the blood mixed the the earth of the pack ground. Immediately after, I felt power flow through me and the pack cheered.

I was so happy, all that was left was to pack my things to my room in the pack house.

°°°°°°°°°°°

So this is how school is here huh? I wasn't used to it since at the beginning of my life I went to Alpha camp and then after that I was homeschooled.

I was wondering why there are no fighting grounds and why there were different classes.

“Welcome to school,” Grant, my Gamma said

“What’s your first class?” Ryan asked. I looked at the sheet of paper given to me.

“Geometery,” I said.

What the heck is that?

“Great, you got that with me,” that was Grant.

We settled at the back of the class. I didn't want attention.

We were in a middle of a discussion when a vampire limped in. I knew it was a vampire by the scent and that it limped by the sound of it's footsteps.

I immediately scanned the room and saw a black haired girl. She had a small frame and seemed like she could fall at any moment. She's not a threat by the looks of it.

“Dang! That girl shouldn't be in school today. Not after what I did,” Grant said through the mind link

“Why?” I asked him in the mind link

“There was a little gym session and we were paired. I attacked her and she fainted due to some major injuries. She wasn't even trying to fight,” he told me.

That's weird.

LUNCHTIME

“How were classes?” Ryan asked me with excitement.

“Fine,” I replied. This school isn't so bad after all.

“You wouldn't believe who we saw,” Grant told Ryan

“Who?” Ryan questioned

“That vamp. You know, the one that fainted,” Grant told him.

“Really? I heard that she is hated by her whole family because she's a vegetarian.” Ryan said.

That's intriguing. And how is a vampire a vegetarian?

“How did you know? And how is a vampire a vegetarian?” I found myself asking.

“Overheard some vamps talking after yesterday's match.” Ryan said as he shrugged.

“A vegetarian vampire is a vampire who only feeds on animal blood.” Grant explained.

The bell rang and all three of us were off to gym class.

While we were in the changing rooms I overheard two girls talking in the hallway.

“Don’t pass out like you did yesterday and bring us more shame,” one said

“I won't,” the other said in a small voice. I walked out of the changing room to meet the same vampire that Grant injured and I guess her sister because they look so much alike.

They both have black hair and mint green eyes. They stopped talking and stared at me.

They were probably trying to guess my power level.

Every werewolf emits a level of power depending on their rank. The higher the rank, the higher the power.

The Alpha

The Beta

The Gamma

The Warriors

The Scouts

The Healers (AKA doctors)

Regular pack members

Omegas.

That's the basic hierarchy in any pack.

I made sure to hide my power through the help of an old witch friend.

The fierce sister left but not before giving her sister a dirty look. The fragile one just cowered and said nothing.

I was presently watching Ryan tackle some vampire dude. I was getting bored with this. I wanted to go out there and show them what I’m made off.

The whistle was blown and I went to the centre filled with excitement because it was finally my turn.

The opposing vampire was pushed out and I was faced with her. I wonder what her name is.

Today we weren't shifting unlike yesterday. The guys gave me a brief of what happened yesterday and I can't believe I missed it.

I took my fighting stance. I could smell the fear radiating off her. I struck, she dodged. I struck and she fell. I pinned her down and tears welled up in her eyes. The bell rang and the class ended. I left to the changing rooms.

“I didn't think vampires were cruel to their our kind,” Ryan said softly.

AT HOME

What a day. I didn't think school could be so tiring.

“This is terrible. Mr. Mark definitely hates me,” Ryan said. I chuckled.

“Jordan, a word,” my dad said.

I left to his room in the private house.

“Yes father?” I asked as I walked in.

He turned to me and gestured towards the seat in front of him.

I sat.

“What did you learn? Anything about the vampires?” he asked.

I thought real hard. There was nothing new really, except, “Vampires are cruel to their own kind,” I said without thinking. He raised an eyebrow.

“Why do you say that?” he asked me.

“Well, today I witnessed it. There's this girl who her family dislikes and see her as a disgrace,” I said with some moment of thoughts.

“That doesn't shock me,” he said.

“Why?”

“Who hunts down their fellow supernatural creatures?” he asked as he flipped through the newspaper beside him.

He had a point though. But seriously who hurts their own family?

°°°°°°°°°°

“I didn't think pack work was this hard!” Ryan exclaimed. He’s always been playful unlike Grant and I. Grant hit him on the back side of his head and I just chuckled.

Come to think of it. That vamp’s case is intriguing and could be helpful. We can use her to get to know the vampire world.

“Grant, I need you to find out more about that vamp’s case,”

“The one you tackled?”

“Yep. Let's see if she can be of help to us.”

Jordan is 18. He was supposed to be alpha when his dad turned 40 which is next year.
