Chapter 3:[New Beginning]

Dawn. 

"Oh my goodness, what is wrong?" My grandmother's familiar voice sounded over the shoulder of whosoever was holding me, l let my eyes open dramatically, meeting with a pair of green orbs gleaming perplexingly at me. 

I haul myself to stand on my feet embarrassingly, feeling every bit of how his hands retreated,  sliding off my waist. 

"Are you alright, Dawn?" Grandma hurried to my side, palming my face worriedly, her eyes dancing all over my face - l was more intrigued by the handsome guy in front of me, l didn't get any scent from him as if he doesn't have any, or maybe the problem is me. 

"Be careful next time," He let out, eyeing me almost pleadingly and l just nodded in agreement. He is so fucking handsome. 

I blinked twice trying not to induce his looks. 

"Are you sure you are alright?" Grandma again asked, glaring at me with full attention when the handsome guy cleared his throat at once. 

"Oh, please this way, Alpha," Grandma snorted, pointing her hand and walking in the direction of the house corridor, then stopped by the flower vase to open another secret entrance, l flinched suddenly as more people dashed into the house, about six guards tailing to stand behind the Alpha. 

"There are safe," Grandma grinned obviously, and the Alpha nodded, l watched in awe as the guards matched in and came out with tons of brown cartoons and took them outside carefully. 

I looked away instantly as my eyes met with the Alpha, what is going on here? Is grandma involved in some dealings? 

What is happening? 

"Do you mind taking a walk with me?" The Alpha offered, "I'm Alexander by the way," He added groovily. 

"Oh, don't be so polite Alpha, Dawn here would not mind at all," Grandma interrupted us, frowning and pushing me to go along with him already. 

 "If l knew the Elder had such a beautiful granddaughter, l would have visited soon, " The young Alpha micked, nudging his hands in his pocket as we walked out of the house, about three cars had already driven off the remaining one, and l knew that one was for him. 

So why are we going for a walk? 

"l guess you don't appreciate my sincere appreciation, l will be straightforward then…" 

"What business do you have with my grandmother? And what are those cartoons? See we are very peaceful people, I and my grandmother don't like involving other people in our lives so l will appreciate it if you tell me who the fuck you are." I snapped and l knew that l hit a button as the alpha frowned, glaring questioningly at me. 

"Breath, l don't mean any harm, your grandmother has been secretly helping with the Pack's activity and she has been doing so for years, we recently store those medicals and foreign foods in your house for a reason, and now that we have successfully won the fight between us and the Black Wolf Pack we just want to retrieve it," He explained and l suddenly became dumbfounded. 

A lot has really changed, hasn't it? 

I have no idea what is going on in this world, why has everything changed a lot? Including grandma dealing with Alphas now? for what reason? 

Why do l have to go through all this…? Why do l have to go through the things of life again when I could have just stayed dead? After all, this world doesn't want me, no one wants me. 

"Would you like to stay by my side tomorrow? The Alpha King, Dillon is attending the banquet we are holding at the pack house tomorrow… Be my date?" He muttered, rubbing the back of his head uneasily yet very calmly. I couldn't hide the burning heat that seeped into my cheeks, making me feel good about his directness, my heart hitched gleefully at his attention. 

Instinctively l wanted to submit totally to the stranger Alpha who felt so warm yet cold, he is so good-looking with grey-colored hair tied up in a bun, he is so tall, and he was built inherently perfect but l couldn't help the anger that creeps into my veins making me burns bitterly, making the scare on my heart and my neck to itch so unsatisfactorily. 

That name! That Alpha! 

My memory immediately flashed back to where l might have heard that name, l shut my eyes trying to reminisce the Oracle words - l remember that she killed me, but for what reason?  Someone…? There was an Alpha…? A loud infuriating sound screeched in my eardrums l couldn't keep thinking about him, l couldn't think about that person. 

'Would you like to stay by my side tomorrow? " The words rang again in my head, with familiarity, someone had said that to me before - in the past, someone said it, a female voice, then… Why is this Alpha trying to get me killed again? Why is he inviting me to stay by his side? 

"No, l can't, "l grunted, taking a step to walk out as he held my wrist pulling me to his body. 

"Don't reject me just yet Omega, think about it, l have never been wrong about my feelings, l just saw you but I choose you, please? "He begged his breathing against my face, very minty and fresh, the warm oozing out of his body left me feeling drunk and protected." Just think about it, will you? Maybe if you change your mind, you can meet me at the packhouse tomorrow at dusk, l will wait for you, Dawn, don't disappoint me. " He summed up taking a step back from me, I gasped surprisingly watching his retreating shoulders. 

What is going on? 

The Oracle told me some moment ago that l was going to meet the person l hate the most but this Alpha is far from that, l feel nice and warm around him. 

I hurried back into the house because my grandmother had some questions to answer. 

"What was the meaning of that grandma?" l yelled, glaring knives at her.

"About what? You are the one who is being disrespectful, you didn't bow or give respect to the Alpha, he is the Pack Alpha, he is your Alpha Dawn, he rules the soil you walk on and moreover, we are living on his property, don't you know anything?"

"Of course l don't! So tell me, grandma, what is going on?  What are you involving yourself in? "

"Why are you acting differently? " Grandma sighed, taking a seat on the couch. I could feel the misery that envelops her and how stressful it is not to understand me or understand what happened to us, l can't just tell her that she died with me seven years ago - that she just doesn't remember anything about it. 

But how did she settle in so fast? She is behaving like she has been here all her life." l just want to know what is happening, grandma? The Alpha just invited me to his pack, to have dinner with him and the Alpha King, he is asking me to date him, isn't that as good as mating him? I know l don't really have a lot of memory but l can tell I'm recovering from a heartbreak and l should be working on lifting the heavy painful feeling and bitterness in my heart, " l buzzed, taking a seat beside her. 

"Alpha Alexander is a good man, he recently returned from the Alpha Academy in the west to succeed his father by winning and taking over the Black Wolf Pack, and he succeeded at that. He will be named the head alpha tomorrow and of course my child, the alpha king will be here with his Beta mate to commemorate him." 

"What about those boxes then? Not something illegal right? "

"What do you take me for? The Alpha asked for permission before leaving them with us, during the wars the people in the pack barely had any shipment come in from any other pack, everything is placed on hold because no one wants to be caught between a blood bath, so every pack member will be depending on the packhouse to provide food and medical assistant. "

I slug back leaning against the backrest, inducing everything my grandma had said at once and what the Oracle advised, I'm literally starting a new life, a life away from the people l used to know, away from the ones that killed me and betrayed me - a new life with the same identity. 

I can't wait to gain all my memories! 

"You will not turn down the Alpha's invite, right? The Alpha needs an Omega, a Luna material and I'm glad he has an interest in you. "

"What if l wasn't an Omega would he like me? I was even killed for being one, "I snickered, shaking my head unbelievably. 

"Don't say something so negative as that, every girl wants to become the Luna and lead the pack with her Alpha to make history, give him a chance, and don't forget you are already at the age to have a mate, you are not planning to live with me for the rest of your life, isn't it? "

"Grandma, are you sending me away?"

"Of course not, l just want you to be happy and give birth to beautiful pups. "

I tilted my head to the side to watch my grandma with fondness as she packed her grey hair tugging them to the back with a hairpin, no one has ever made me feel like family except her, and her good ways and nice words toward me, taking care of me right from the beginning and knowing what is best for me. 

"l don't feel like going, I think something bad might happen there and l don't want to risk my life again, "I hummed, letting out my honest feelings, meeting her tender eyes. 

"Why would you think that child? It's an official dinner.  Except for the pack elders only the Alpha King and his mate, Alpha Alexander, and you will be there. "

"That's the problem, l have a bad feeling about the couples. "

"Dawn, l understand your feelings but that shouldn't be your business, you are there with Alpha Alexander who wants you by his side? Why think about the couple who I heard barely talk to each other and after years of mating and leading the central, the Beta has been unable to provide a pup to the Alpha? Everyone knows that the Alpha heart belongs to someone else, sickening rumors on the street that l don't wish for you and thankfully we are in a better era."

That sounded familiar, like a story I witnessed but it appeared hazy in my memory," Can you tell me about the story, grandma? "

"l will tell you when you return from the packhouse tomorrow. "

"Who told you l want to go there?"l purred shyly, remembering the Alpha's words. 

"I know you very well, Dawn. "
