Yes, Alpha

Chapter 1:

Clara’s POV

Waking up to the sound of my alarm clock, I tried to ignore the fact that it was pitch black. Yes I always wake up before the sun rises. If I timed it perfectly, I would be able to make breakfast for the pack, clean up the mess, and take a shower all before they woke up. This has been the routine for the past 7 years. Wake up, cook, clean, and repeat. I’ve accepted it, no matter what I do nothing will change.

I am scum. I deserve to be treated like trash. Everyone else has a wolf, but as usual I am the disappointment of the pack. When I turned 12, I was expected to shift like every other wolf. I was so anxious before that first full moon. I wondered what my wolf would look like, would I be big and strong or fast and small. I even decided to name my wolf Tara. My older brother told me that my first shift would hurt like hell, but meeting my wolf would be the best experience of my life (other than meeting my mate of course). The moon came up to its peak, but nothing happened. I was waiting for the pain, waiting to hear the cracking of my bones, waiting to hear that voice in my head, but it never came.

My father, the alpha of our pack, refused to believe it. He reached out to every healer in our region. No one gave him any answers. An alpha’s daughter has never not shifted before; it was unheard of. After months of searching my father gave up. He had no choice but to demote me to omega.What I didn’t expect was the treatment: how could my own family treat me like trash? It was like a switch had changed in their mind. I was no longer their daughter. I was the pack omega, which meant I received torment from every pack member. It didn’t matter what my bloodline was.

Today must have been one of my unlucky days. As I was making my way downstairs to the kitchen, I could hear my brother and his friends messing around. I had no idea why they would be up so early.

“Well, well, well, look who it is.” Jason sneered, “the fat and ugly omega.” Tears sprung into my eyes. I tried my best to not let it get to me, but no matter what it always did. It hurt the most that it came from Jason, my brother. He was supposed to be my protector.

“Good morning alpha, can I do anything for you and your friends?” I responded, the way that I was trained. As much as I wanted to curl up in the corner and cry, I knew that it would do me no good. “Show no emotions. Stay stoic.” I reminded myself.

All of a sudden I smelled the most magnificent smell. I’ve never smelled something so exquisite. It smelled like the forest right after it rained. The slight mossy smell mixed with the smell of the fresh water droplets on the leaves of the trees.

“Did you hear what I said bitch?” I must have dozed off, but the slap to my face by Jason really brought me back. “This is my friend from a pack in the south Alpha Titan. He is going to be staying with us for the next few weeks, and I expect that you will take really good care of him.”

I finally met Alpha Titan eyes. They were a honey gold color with chocolate flakes. I was mesmerized. At that moment I knew that he was my mate. For a brief second I thought that everything was going to get better. That he would swoop me away from the pack and treat me the way that every mate was meant to be treated. But as usual I was the black sheep surrounded by white sheep. Things weren’t going to change.

I watched as his eyes widened in realization. He quickly covered it up with a smirk. Turning to my brother he asked, “Anything that I need ?”

“Yeah you can do whatever the fuck you want to her. I don’t give two shits.” Jason scoffed. To think he ever actually cared for me.

“Well for starters clean this up.” He said as he grabbed a glass of juice off the counter and dumped it on the ground.

Scurrying to grab a towel from the closet behind him, he stuck his foot out causing me to fall flat on my face in the juice. I knew the grape juice was going to stain my clothes. There goes one of my only good outfits. As I was getting up, a hand was raised for me, and guess what I was actually dumb enough to grab it. I really thought that after all of this he would help me.

As I grabbed his hand, I felt the sparks. It felt like he shoved me back down. This time I fell on my butt, and I knew that a huge bruise would form. Unlike other wolves, I don’t have accelerated healing because I have yet to meet my wolf. Tears clouded my eyes, but I began to accept that this was the way that my mate would treat me. I had to pull myself together in order to survive.

I slowly got up hearing the boys double over in laughter. I dodged Titan and went to grab a towel from the closet. Finally as I started to clean up, the boys left the kitchen and moved into the living room.

Just when I thought that I would get a break, I looked at the clock and realized that I only had 15 minutes until the rest of the pack would be coming downstairs expecting breakfast. As much as I wanted to change, I knew that I would get in much more trouble for a late breakfast than having a soiled uniform. I quickly threw together some eggs and toast and cut up some fruit. Normally it would take me 30-45 minutes to put together a breakfast, so I hoped that it was enough to please the alpha (my father).

As soon as the clock hand struck 7am, I could hear the alpha’s foot steps coming down the stairs.

“Clara,” my father screeched through clenched teeth.

I responded in a whisper, “Yes, Alpha,” silently praying that I made enough breakfast.

“This is a rather simple breakfast for the pack, don’t you think? You do know that your brother brought guests over. What the hell happened to your dress? You made a huge fucking mess. Go clean yourself up as we eat breakfast, I can’t see you when you look that ugly, bitch!”

I was honestly surprised. That could have been so much worse. I walked up stairs mentally preparing myself for what would happen, now that my mate, or should I say Alpha Titan is staying with our pack for the next few days.
