Chapter 2

EMAL'S POV

The large metal ball in the center of the castle yard seems to be hit by the guards on early morning patrol. I stand up sluggishly from my bed and walk my way into the bathroom in order to freshen up.

I enter the bathroom and turn on the shower staying still under it for a while and letting the cold soothing water get to me.

"You will be more than others; in fact you must be!" my father's words rings in my ears. I hate the fact that I have to be bullied by everyone in the pack. It hurts like hell.

‘If only I can do something to stop them. If only I can gain some powers. Do I even have a wolf? Others feel their wolves and communicate with it, while mine never showed up for once. Not even once. It hurts so much and I don't have an idea what I am to do. All I can pray for is not to be pushed into desperation.’

Well, today is another day and I am ready to go to school. What awaits me, I don't know. The previous week, father never allowed me to leave the pack because the last time I went to school, I was severely injured by my mates. It was a disgrace to my father as the Alpha of the pack, but there is nothing he could do.

A while later, I exit the bathroom and wear some clean clothes on myself after drying up. All being done slowly. I am not at all eager to get things done since it will all end up in me getting abused or talked down at.

Everyone in the pack does not like talking or associating with me, most especially my mates. Any slight chance they get is used to mock me. I don't even know why dad pronounced me as his heir, it just makes things worse for me.

I check the silver-colored clock on the wall of my room and it reads a few minutes past eight. Still, I haven't left home and by now, I should have gotten to school or be on the way. However, the enthusiasm is not just there.

Trying to make my way out of my room, someone calls out to me.

"Emal, come down for breakfast." that is Matilda, my sister and my father's favorite. She's the only one that doesn't look down on me in the whole pack, but she has to limit her association with me to avoid her being targeted by the pack members who take any little opportunity to make trouble.

She opens my door swiftly before I respond to her and say jack.

"Good morning sis," I greet her and she hugs me tightly like she is scared of losing me. So much affection she shows me and I really appreciate. But that's not the only thing I need.

It's not that I'm greedy, but being cast out by a hundred of people and liked by one who can't even show affection towards you in public is still so bad.

"Mum made breakfast already. I heard you're going back to school today. Let's go get something in our bellies before we leave." she urges me, dragging my hands and leading us out towards the stairs that leads to the dining room.

Each royal family that resides in the castle have their own dining room which is regularly a large one. Ours being the biggest since my dad is the current Alpha of the Pack, and Alpha King of Alacia.

"My baby," mum walks up to me caressing my cheeks in her palm. As the last pup of the family, she hardly calls me by my name. The emotion she shows me is something I can't figure out yet and I don't think I can anytime soon.

Whether it's love, pity, remorse or pain of me not being capable, I don't know what it is and I don't care anymore. It was back in the days that I used to think she loves me but can't show it because of her role as the Luna of the pack.

As time passed by, I thought against it for some reasons, but I can't be so sure.

"Mum, let him alone. He needs to eat and get ready for school." Matilda says hurriedly, pushing me to sit on a chair and serves me my food before my mother can do so. That's just how she is and I so much like her for her personality.

Ten minutes later, I am done eating my breakfast, though Matilda first me to finish. That's one her typical characteristics, always fast with everything as if she's being chased. I guess that's one of her powers and abilities.

We bid mum goodbye and leave the castle. Others are so busy that they didn't make it to the table, making it only three of us at the table instead of seven. I guess Darius would be busy screwing a pussy and heaven knows what the rest are busy with, probably doing the same......except my dad, of course.

LORD FORLOCK COLLEGE

I and Matilda begin our journey and in no time, we get to school. Instead of me going into the school, I stand outside its big gate looking at the name carved on the arc above the gate which was joined to the two big pillars holding the gate.

It reads: "LORD FORLOCK COLLEGE" written in a big cursive calligraphy. The school is the very biggest school in Alacia with a high standard. Any other school in the country are considered starters and unstandardized. Of course, except for the pack school which I would start anytime soon.

The school is rumored to have gotten its name from the founders of the country who were also the founders of the school. Due to its long-time establishment, the current management of the school somehow made it that only the elites can attend the school. I mean, only the wealthy or a bit wealthy family can.

Several beings attend the school, both werewolves, humans and probably the unknown. But werewolves like me are the dominating creatures of the school.

"Aren't you getting in?" my sister asks, tapping me on the shoulder.

"I will...."

"I understand." a smile crinkles on her face. "Trust me, I'm always here for you and I bet you will overcome it all." she says and we bump fists together. She goes her way; I go my way too.

Stepping my feet into the school compound, people are staring at me. They have just concluded the morning roll call of present students. It isn't a new thing to me, but I still feel awkward.

Quickly, I walk fast to my class and head straight to my seat which is at the far end of the class in order to avoid me being the center of attraction of the class.

"Oh, the future Alpha finally deems it fit to attend school." Blake, the most loved boy in my class mocks and others direct their attention towards me, while the girls giggle. That is the only thing they are good at. They always want to be on the good side of Blake and would never want to offend him.

I ignore them and open my locker to bring out a book to read before the teacher comes in for the first class. Silently, I am hoping they would just stop and mind their business but they didn't.

Blake moves to my seat and takes my book away from me. He throws it to the ground and stomps on it. I pretend not to be aware of what he's doing and try not to get angry. Not because I can't retaliate, but I am only trying to avoid trouble.

Firstly, his body is the fusion of a human body and a wolf, a strong one at that and also from one of the five royal families of the pack. If I should act and things go wrong, it would affect my father.

Other royal families that have been eyeing the throne would have more reasons to go against ours and it might not end well. Such never ended well according to not too long past events.
