Chapter 1, True Alpha
*Ring Ring*
I hate how the door rings every time I walk into this beer pub. I'm a regular here and as soon as I walk in they all sit up straight. I don't give a fuck if I was late.
I slowly walk into the darkest corner in the back of the pub letting my boots click with each step. I don't look at any faces but every face looks at me.
This is where I watch and observe, the very back where it's dark.
"Hey, I'm looking for Tadashi." Someone asks looking around for a seemingly powerful male figure. Everyone now turns there head to him. He's new. Only regulars come here. The bartender slowly nods his head and points my way.
Hmphf. So he's looking for me. The bartender then gives him one last warning look. The man nods and cautiously walks to the back off the bar where you cannot see a single sight, just a dim light towering above my feet kicked back on the maroon table.
"Sir, are you Tadashi?" He asks. I lift my head ever so slightly to see her face. "I have a proposition," He asks stuttering at my subjective presence. He doesn't seem so sure if himself.
He is obviously a scared messenger boy. Tadashi is my wolf I haven't talked to him in six years but I still go by his name because it's more intriguing... And man mans name. I reveal my glowing red eyes in the dark answering his question.
He nods before looking around the bar cautiously then sliding a paper on the small table in front of me. I unfold my paper using my wolf eyes to see. Hmm...
"How much?" I demand in cold low voice. Surely if he knows me he must know my work isn't too cheap.
I look up only to see him jump back. Not many people know I'm a woman and some stop believing in my work because of it. So I kill them. Simple.
"How can I trust you'll get the job done she-wolf?" He asks saying she wolf way snarkier then was smart of him.
Without a blink of an eye I put my claws in his back pulling him to me, bringing my canines into his neck. I loosing my grip letting his child body drop to the floor. I snatch the money from his pockets and walk out the bar. I look back with a smirk when I see people surrounding his body and gasping.
Mundanes act as if death isn't inevitable. Even though I already have the money I am trust worthy enough to get the job done. My word is my word.
When I arrive at the location which is the North Pack's mansion everyone's preparing for something in fancy clothing. I must be corenation day. These people don't bring out the expensive beads for nothing. It's kind of a thing here, to wear beads instead of pearls. There's dresses, tux's, and pricy looking head peicies. Its been what, twelve years since I've been here. I'm twenty now.
For this soon to be deadly event I wear a black and cream fur mink coat (it's kind of rude to our kind), dark tight cargo pants, and sexy black combat boots with a bit of shimmer and a few blood splatters. With all the killing I do I manage to keep myself somewhat clean.
It's a very mischievous look.
I walk on the gravel path way glancing at old acquaintances. I'll admit I'm surprised twenty years is a lot slower in wolf years. No one seems to recognize me, I got a lot of attention when my parents died before I 'disappeared ' but never before then. Once again I'm invisible.
The pack lives in many houses surrounding one big mansion for the royal bloodline also the Alphas family surrounded by thousands of acres of land for everyone to turn.
When I walk in through the open gates I get curious stares and some glares due to my unapproachable appearance.
I stop when I reach a fancy crowd and see Quincy Thyroid on a stage that has an arch with roses blossoming all through it. This has to be it. Long time no see brotha.
The crown is about to be placed on his head by who they call the old Werewolf King, Thanos. Also the old Alpha. Also the start of the royal bloodline. He proclaims many title but to me he is merely Quincy's father.
Thanos is a powerful name, I've always respected him, but respect is different from like. And If I like you then that saves your life. Maybe.
Our pack has many minions but you seem to have to be special to be in the inner pack including only six. Quincy, Thanos, his brother, his new beta, his gamma, and his omega. I don't know any of there irrelevant names.
"Miss, can you tell me what your doing here?" Someone taps me from behind. I turn around swiftly. How dare he touch me. I pull together a fake smile. He gasps at my face. Opps guess I left a little blood on my kanines. "Intruder!" He yells. The crowd turns to me and the king sits the crown back down.
Dammit. When my cover is blown I usually have to kill everyone but my target is to close. I crack my neck with one swift movement to my right, ready to fight. In an instant I swing my claws to the man's throat. I don't snicker because that's a sign of humor and humor is befitting to my personality but if it weren't I would definitely laugh.
He holds his hands to his bloody throat and collapses on his knees to the ground. Dipshit shouldn't have been so loud or maybe I could have looked him privately. Sad thing is I'm gonna be the one that'll make the paper and not him.
A long gasp glazes through the crowd. People clear a path and I make my way to the stage. I get a lot of different looks but I stare straight ahead. It's hard not to look at people to seek there opinions but I do anyways.
"Look straight ahead. Your not afraid. No one is looking at you." My mom told me once. Although my dad said it was bad advice and instead he said "If to can walk like everyone's watching your naked body with the head held high then your fearless."
I very slowly walk up the steps with a smirk. Guards were about to dart at me but Quincy, with an intrigued look gives me permission to pass through. He's curious, he's happy, and he's intrigued. He sees the lost girl I used to be, someone that could possibly have came back for him. That's a mistake on his behalf.
I come face to face with Quincy and Thanos. People stare waiting for a reaction or for me to speak. Someone does speak just not who I'd expect.
'Mate!' Tadashi yelled.
M-mate!? Why him? I hesitate slightly then keep walking. Nothing is stopping me from my goal. Nothing.
Alphas can't choose who we love, well we can buy fait will take it's course (I don't beilive that), even though we have power but my power is beyond that, I have to do no such thing. Why, because I don't want him.
Mates are still chosen for wolves through tradition or connection but sometimes a turn of events changes you and that connection differs. You can reject mate but the only times I've heard that they'd reject there mate they got back together. Is there really even a such thing as a mistake?
In that moment I knew Quincy knew it too. I almost gasped and fell backwards, but oh, how weak would that look? Pathetic actually.
I keep my dominant posture and straighten up. I shake my head trying forcefully to brush away any of my thoughts. I stop in front of Quincy, his eyes focus on mine so intently like he's looking through a microscope. He's in search of the girl he knew. But here won't find her here.
Carefully keeping his gaze I snatch a sword from the guard to the left hand bringing it to my side.
"Mate," He whispers in more of a thought. "Keelyn, what are you doing?" He asks carefully like one defect in the sound of his steady voice could cause a whole in his heart.
"Ke-?" Thanos started before I instinctively, and slowly pushed my sword through his heart. Slow, so they both can watch the sword with out being able to do a damn to stop it. Thanos gasped clenching his throat for air as it filled up with blood.
Gasps and yells move over the crowd but I tuned them out with victory.
Quincy's mouth drops and he falls to his knees. His eyes swirls with the darkest flashiest red like his wolf might take over. I know Quincy like the back of my hand and I know he knows that'll only cause chaos. I almost snickered at the pain on his face. He then raised slowly I'm mockery so I can watch knowing my fight is over, his hand and fifty guards rushed to me.
"Wait!" I yell, this isn't how it's going to end.
The guards stopped and the crowds screams got louder. I held my hand up with red glowing eyes and the crowd immediately silenced. That's what respect to a real alpha looks like.
"I am your new Alpha! Quincy, my mate is not fit to be king! He is weak! Look at him on the floor with his father." My voice is cold and emotionless with a flicker of disgust.
I feel power radiate around me like an ora, like I should be glowing.
This supposed king let his father die...then fell to his knees to a woman! He may aswell just given me the sword and crown if I'd said please.
'Stop, you know the real reason you left him. Stay this time. No more coldn-" Tadashi started before I cut him off. I need not to hear this. I hate having a conscious wolf in my head that feels differently then me and tries to tell me how to feel.
I shake my hide wooling away my thoughts. I hadn't even noticed the screaming of the crowd with fire and pitchforks. What is this a 1950's riot?
"How? Why!"
"She's a fake"
"I shall not have a dictator!"
"Women for power!"
"Did you all miss the mate part?"
"This is Alpha Quincy's friend!"
Quincy is weak. He trusted a stranger because I knew him and that alone makes him the weakest man I know. Caring is stupid it only helps your opponent and the moment I looked in his eyes I saw lust. He made it so easy for me to put his gaurd down. How could they see him fit to be a king?
I am Alpha now.
