Anyone but the alpha

"Riley its time to get up or your going to be late for school" my father calls from the other side of the door.

My Name is Riley Ward i am 17 years old and I am a current omega of the night fall pack My father is William Ward he is the current sitting alpha and my brother Ryker is the future alpha.

I groan and roll out of bed knowing that if I dint get up soon they will cancel all of the activities for tomorow. Yes tomorow is my 18th birthday. For a werewolf this is more significant then a sweet 16 and a 21st birthday. Being 18 means i can officially shift and meet my wolf form. After your first shift you and your famly go running with the pack.

"Riley" i hear from the other side of the door this time its my brother Ryker. I havent seen or heard from him in months. He met his mate and stopped talking to us. His mate Kate is human and he knows i adore her. But he has made appoint to keep her from our family. Our pack and the Battlefang pack live in harmony with the humans in this town.

The humans know that wolves live here and there hasnt been any trouble between us and the humans in decades. But my father and Alpha Brayden Hall have been struggling to get long as of late and the humans are starting to notice the tention.

I grab my backpack and head toward my bedroom, once i have it open i push past Ryker without saying a word. "Riley i thought I could give you a ride to school this morning and we can talk"he says following me to the living room.

"Hi Kate" i drop my back pack and move towards her. She is 7 months pregnant and i reach down to rub her very large belly. "Hows my nephew doing". I knew before today that Kate was pregnant me and her have been keeping in touch despite of Ryker. I feel the baby kick and it makes me gigle.

"Hi Riley" Kate says pulling her into a hug, "He is a little active bean thats for sure" she giggles because she felt him kick again.

"Come on Riley before your late for school" Ryker says opening the front door. I follow him out to his car sulking he is the last person I want to talk to.

While he drives to the highschool I stared out the window in silence. He kept looking over at me trying to figure out what to say to me first.

"Riley I am sorry I wasnt there to help you with dad when he was talking about your title with the elders" he said while looking straight ahead.

"Its your fault that im an omega you promised me to be there to fight for my warrior tittle. But you couldnt be bothered to show or even bothered to return my call" i say trying to hold in a sob.

"Im sorry Riley..." was all he was able to say before I jumped out of his car once he pulled up infront of the school.

I all but run towards the school keeping my head down knowing tears where coming. I was especially avoiding that certain future alpha Logan Hall. But i see him out of the corner of my eye and for some reason i feel a draw towards him and I instantly know he was my mate.

I was about to make it completely past him when in felt his hand on my wrist. "Riley Wait"
