Chapter 3: New Alpha?

Low cries of pleasure and slapping of skin against skin could be heard even from outside Calvin's apartment. The young man was enjoying the sounds of his partner's moans, her energy and her willingness to pleasure him in return. 

Though the room was air-conditioned, Calvin already got his partner sweating and moaning in ecstacy. He didn't even remember her name and though he described her as "hot", he didn't have any feelings for her. She was just one of the many girls that was smitten by his looks and ready to go down with him. Who was he to say no to that offer?

With each thrust, the voice in his head wouldn't stop. Even before he called "Hot"(as he saved her name on his phone) to come over, the voice was already trying to dissuade him. 

Calvin already figured that whatever was talking in his head could read his mind, but he still ignored it. It had been a few weeks and the voice was ever present. He was worried about it at first, but he just told himself that the voice would go away the same way it came. All it talked about was finding a "mate" and the "others". Calvin couldn't comprehend what any of that meant.

At some point, Calvin had to block it all off. He drowned himself with school work, extracurricular activities and the sweet pleasures of a woman's body. Whatever was in his head was obviously against him being with women, but Calvin couldn't care less.

Spent, he rolled over the woman's body, panting and trying to block off the raging voice in his head.

"That was wonderful" the woman purred as she ran a finger over his chest. 

Calvin had a satisfied smirk on his face. Of course he knew he was wonderful but the feeling of hearing a woman say it could never get old. It stroke his ego all the time.

"Want to go again?" The woman asked, batting her seductive eyes. 

"Hell no!" Calvin heard in his head and he snickered at the thought of going again.

"You should go home" he told the woman. "I'll give you a call".

She looked disappointed but she smiled anyway and then leaned in to give him a kiss but Calvin quickly turned to avoid her lips. She ended up kissing his cheek and she didn't seem to mind that at all.

While she was busy getting dressed, Calvin noticed a flier sticking out of her bag. There was a photo of a full moon on it and that caught his attention.

"What's this?" He asked her he looked it over.

"That's a flier for the moonlight festival" the girl explained her she slipped her dress on. "It's common tradition here at Hayford academy... I don't know why. But the Chancellor's daughter, Charlene would be the host".

The sides of Calvin's lips curved up in a smile. He had already made a decision in his heart that he was going to attend this festival. There was no way he was going to pass up any chance of getting close to Charlene.

"What's going on here?" Rufus asked as he joined the others who were looking into a computer screen.

"Phiri had a vision" Lucille informed him without taking her eyes off the computer. "She found the Alpha wolf".

"You did?" Rufus asked Phiri and she nodded.

"In my vision, the moon goddess permitted him to inhabit the body of a human" Phiri explained. 

"A human?!" Rufus asked in shock. "What sort of mockery is this? I thought he would be roaming free".

"Rufus, you shall speak respectfully" Lucille said gravely. "This is the grand alpha we're talking about".

"I don't know if we can still call him that, judging by the fact that he's now occupying the body of a mere human" Rufus argued. 

"Found him!" Mark suddenly announced.

"What do we have here?" Rufus asked as he also looked into the computer screen. "Who's the young man?"

"He's the one from my vision" Phiri answered. "The Alpha is in his body".

"This guy??" Rufus asked in unbelief.

"Phiri made a sketch and we ran it through the database" Lucille said.

"His name is Calvin Moss" Mark read from the computer. "He's a business student at Hayford. Transferred recently, but there is no information about his background".

"I like that he has a touch of mystery surrounding him" Phiri smiled.

"We don't need a pretty boy to be our Alpha" Rufus was indignant. "Look at him! I don't see a werewolf! I see a pimp!"

"You will watch your language, Rufus!" Lucille glared at the man and he snarled in response. 

"What are we going to do?" Mark asked Lucille who was ready to fight with Rufus over this.

"There is no reason to stall" Lucille said. "It's been weeks since we lost Roman and now that we have found his wolf, we should go and get him. Knowing the alpha wolf, he probably has this young man thinking he has gone mad. It is up to us to make him understand what he now is and his new responsibilities. The zealots haven't attacked since Roman... None, except four of us, are aware of his death. The werewolf community and even the zealots are probably waiting for us to announce it. The moon goddess has been benevolent. We should take advantage of it".

"Your point is?" Rufus asked with a deep frown. 

"My point is", Lucille turned to look Rufus in the eyes. "Keep that attitude to yourself and get your gear because gentleman, we are going to Hayford".
