Chapter 13: An Alpha?

    Lauren wore quite a short blue skirt, a white shirt inside, a tie and blue suit, it was the school’s uniform. She looked taller while standing close to me. Her aura was calm now but threatened to be deadly.

“Okay. Guys I’ll see you later.” I said, getting up. 

“Sure, Isabel, we'll reserve a spot for you in class.” Oliver responded. I looked at my roommate Isabel, but I noticed her face was dropped down like she was scared of someone. 

Lauren had already turned towards the exit of the dining room, I followed behind her, while two other werewolves walked beside me.

“Why did you kill him?” I was unable to hold it in any longer.

“It’s simple Elsa, he broke protocol. Besides, he was already aware of the punishment for what he did.”

“What do you mean he broke protocol?” I responded, unable to process how she can be so nonchalant. I imagined eating her head, that would be satisfying.

“You ask a lot of questions Elsa, and people who do that don't last very long here. You should be grateful, a noble man gave up his life for you to be here. Had you simply shown up two days later, exactly as you were instructed to, none of this would have happened.”

“Why would Ser Brownwell risk so much for someone like me?”

“I don’t know, but he saw something in you which no one else around here did.”

Why did he risk it all? There has to be a greater reason why he did it. Our steps echoed through the silent halls as we took many turns.

“I just hope you’re worth it. I also don’t want his death to be in vain.” Lauren added.

I couldn’t see her expression but her answer almost felt guilty.

“Did you have a choice?” I asked.

“What’s it to you?” She replied dismissively.

We had reached in front of a large door which had Administrator boldly written on it. Lauren pulled the handle, entering the office and we followed suit. Inside the office the receptionist was busy at her desk, going through some files. She looked rather old, with grey hair, and thick lenses. Naturally, they were worn only for style, since werewolves possessed extraordinary vision.

“Lady Lauren." She said, while gazing at me.

“Yes Brenda, the administrator would like to meet Elsa.”

“Okay, she can wait here. She’ll go in soon.” Brenda replied. I went ahead to sit on the long chair beside the receptionist. Lauren looked at me and said before leaving;

“Make sure to be as truthful as possible.”

With that she left with the two others. I looked around the office, it certainly gave off the gothic vibe, the whole school did though. I needed to get a new device since mine was destroyed in the portal, I wasn’t even able to reach my dad yet, and I wanted to be sure he was okay.

“Elsa.” The receptionist called out suddenly.

“Yes.”

“You can go in.”

I stood up feeling a little tense now, my hands were sweaty, I rubbed them against my gown, nearing the door I opened the office. The wooden office chair was quite huge as it stood facing my back entirely.

“We lost a great man because of you? A nobody?.” The masculine voice roared angrily.

“I had a fault in this, if only I had listened the first time.. . It just felt too good to be true.” I replied, feeling down thinking they held me responsible for his death too. I still didn’t understand it, it happened too fast to even process it, but I was now in the desk pinned down, as I felt my breath almost seizing, Salvatore held my neck, it didn’t look like he was using much strength but I could still see my life ending.

“Of course, why would you believe it huh? Have you ever heard of such a tragedy before? Have you ever heard that a citizen of that rat hole got admission into Sheffield?” He asked, his gaze twitching with wild intensity.

The man’s aura was quite terrifying. I could see the blue energy particles in the atmosphere as I struggled to catch my breath. He wore a large black overcoat, with sapphire shaped eyes that oozed his emotion. His obsidian hair was combed to the back looking quite trimmed and taken care of. The administrator had a middle aged face, probably around my dads age.

“Why was it only he that could see your star? Why weren't other recruiters able to see it? I don’t think you’re as gifted as he claims. He wasted his life for nothing. But perhaps…” He said, his tone lowering, eyes gleaming with a glint of mischief, “you could be… of use in other ways.” He continued, as he brought his face closer to mine, then went lower to my cleavage and rubbed his tongue against my half exposed bosoms, due to the dress.

I can't be going through this again. I was frightened to the core as his filthy hands held my clothing, bringing it down, just stopping at the waist. The hairs on my body stood, and I felt my heart skip a beat as my bra fell to the floor, leaving me half naked on his desk.

I was still held down by him, fear eating me from the inside as it wasn’t like anything I've faced before, he was the administrator of Sheffield. He bent closer, his lips nearing the tip of my bosom. He latched on suddenly, as he took it into his mouth. My face curled in satisfaction, but I was angry at heart, the gods seemed to always remind me of how weak I am. 

I couldn’t do anything but watch him grin in satisfaction as he continued nibbing at my nipples. He suddenly held the other with urgency, caressing it with desperate hunger. The gods must be making a mockery of me now for being so weak. Maybe this is my destiny, to come here and be a harlot to the administrator of Sheffield. 

But I can’t be weak. Ser Brownwell saw something in me… even the god asked why I don’t know what i am. Why should I be defiled in such a way? I didn’t survive everything I went through just to be reduced to this again. My fists began clenching so tightly, the bit into my palms. My heart began pounding with fury. It wasn’t just pain, it was rage so heavy it made my teeth.

And that was when it happened, i just said it, but i didnt just say it. I commanded it. It was an order.

“Get off me.” I said, a red glow erupting from my gaze.

He looked at my eyes as the realization dawned on him, he was being controlled. He released my bosoms firmly yet submissively. He tried to say something but he couldn’t, the power behind the alpha’s command was too great for him to defy.

That was when it hit me, all that she meant, I realized what I am now. I am an alpha. I beat logic. How is this possible, how can a female be an alpha, only an alpha could exercise the power of an alpha’s command, not even his family could do it. I held with me the power of a leader.

Looking at the administrator, I got up, arranging my dress. I then strode up to him, without hesitation, I slammed a brutal kick to his groin. He squeezed his face in pain but couldn’t move from the spot. I delivered another and then another repeatedly. I was so blinded by my anger. I wanted to kill him. I couldn’t shake the thought that I wasn’t the first… or maybe I was, and he chose to do it to me because I was weak.

I stopped and released him from my command, he immediately fell to the floor rolling in pain. I sat on top of the desk waiting and watching as he groaned in pain. He was already bleeding from that area but it was healing incredibly quick now, considering his strength.

After some minutes he seemed to be able to stand now, as he stood while holding onto the wall for assistance.

“What is your name?” I asked, my voice devoid of any respect.

“M..my my name is Salvatore.” He answered.

“Salvatore, from today onwards we are going to be very good friends, you’re going to help me with many things.”

“You’re crazy, why would I do anything for you”

“Because, you love your reputation, and you won’t want me going around telling everyone how you raped me.”

“But I didn’t rape you yet.”

“Yeah sure, I would love to watch you tell that to the board.” I replied. I saw the monstrous look on his face again, it seems he was really afraid of the board.

“But of course, all that isn’t necessary. I just need your cooperation here. Besides, I should have killed you but I didn’t. You should be thanking me.” 

“But this is impossible, how can there be more than five alphas? That has never happened before.” The administrator said, confusion carving itself deep into his features. 

“Hahaha, so this is it! So this is it! The prophesy of a One Empire!”

I stood up punching the administrator in the face. He held his nose in pain, not daring to retaliate.

“What was that for?”

“You were shouting ohh and you’re a jerk too. The gods have never lacked creativity when it comes to  their own amusement.” I replied, trying to connect my own dots in my head. 

Now I knew I was an alpha, which still seemed unbelievable, perhaps, I could bring the  administrator under my pack. 

“Stay still.” I commanded him. He stood unmoving. I walked closer baring my fangs, and pulling his coat aside, I dug my fangs deep into his neck, I could feel a sensation spreading from within me, to my jaws and then to him. My dad used to tell me how werewolves were marked and how it affected both the children those marked werewolves gave birth to, they automatically became part of that park.

I released my fangs after a while. I could feel it now, my mind was linked to Salvatore’s, I could feel his strength going through me. It was strange, I could feel his strength in me, but I was certain he couldn’t access mine or else I wanted to.

“Move.” I ordered once more. He moved his hands touching his neck to feel the part where I bite him.

“You bitch!!” He shouted, and ran forward to deliver a slash. He stopped mid air suddenly holding his head in pain.

“I’m your alpha now, you should know better than to try to attack me. Don’t you know how this works. You know since I can access your thoughts now, I know everything you want to do.” 

He stood up again. He appeared downcast this time.

“I have a class to attend to Salvatore but don’t worry I’ll communicate to you through out mental link. And some pack rules still have to be established. I’m really enthusiastic about what the future holds for us, aren’t you?” I asked, raising a brow.

"Of course alpha, I’m eager to serve you.” He said, forcing a smile. 

“Great.” I said heading towards the door.

“Don’t tell anyone you’re an alpha, it’s dangerous.”

“I know.” I replied, closing the door.

I had been walking for ten minutes now, I forgot to ask the receptionist the way to the combat class. Surely, I'm definitely running late. 

I turned another corner and crashed into someone. My hands flew to my temples rubbing my head.

“I'm really sorry lady.”

“It’s okay, I’m fine… Alexander?”
