My Story Part 1

ALEXANDRIA'S P.O.V

Two Years Back

After a few months Alex's mother got news of an incident, which occurred at her absence. Her attitude toward her dreams to peruse changed, instead of her steadfast parenting she was super supportive or maybe just overridden by guilt. Again life gave her a rude awakening, after her last conversation with God in the temple she decided it was time she actually grew up.

Her mother she spend months contemplating whether to forgive or not felt so guilty, it is cute she got her application forms to the local university Callisto Art's program. Unfortunately at that time she blamed her cruelness as well as selfishness to not do the basic requirement of a mother. She's always been reckless as a child she had to survive with her mother for weeks without food and electricity, she was forced to face the negligence depression of life.

Without her mother knowing she applied at Moon University. She is running away far from the disappointment and a family she never wanted to see again. Her anger manifested to something so dark, lonely that living there became so toxic to her mental and physical well being. She applied to study her second option in case she got rejected to join, the art program since it is extremely popular in their small naïve world she would have never known.

Her stepfather and mother insisted on funding her every expenses, again guilt had a heavy hand on their decision. She then forth had this need to have a reason for every decision she makes after that, her relationship with God felt forced because every time she thought to forgive she felt the heart harden. Her fear did not stop her from going to the temple in a place she has no right to call home, she got on her knees and cried her final prayer there.

The only reason he chose medicine is because she is naturally good at it, it does not help she has abilities that make her feel powerful enough to protect herself. The one reason she vowed to work hard is because she has a plan in mind, she wants to own her own practice in order make enough money to pay Jun back. She never wished to ease his mother from her overwhelming guilt. She needs to see the selfishness of her actions besides it was never her responsibility to ease her guilt. Everyone can make a decision, she made hers and it did not involve choosing her own child...

Five years earlier...

"Class welcome to Biochemistry 101. I am your lecturer Mr Williams. So, today we will study life functions on a molecular level.

Since today is our first class to make you all feel more at ease you will assign yourselves in groups of three. Remember the members you group yourselves with, you will be stuck with them for the rest of the year.

Oh. Okay. In your groups I want you to discuss the different molecular levels, include a fifty page thesis, also mention what you as a medical person or group would do and I want you to choose one maybe more you want to focus on."

Everyone in their right mind would not be pleased by the amount of work the very first day contribute to their stress. Alex focus is currently distributed between her new drawing of a panther, this is the fist time she is entertaining the art art of animals but the panther friend or maybe mate... he was on the far back on a cliff, his a wolf that seems to be howling. She dropped her pencil and turned a page, she looked around the class and she saw the already devastated audience and she looked the old man still speaking.

"Students we are contributing to medical research here, so look alive guys. Pair up and we will pick up from here on our next lesson. You lot are our future doctors. Some will find it difficult to cope but it is all up to you, if you not up to the challenge, drop the course and do something less mentally stimulating.

Wasting your potential on faculties like: Chiropractic medicine, Information Technology (IT), Psychology, Commerce or Engineering. Today I really want you to ask and answer yourself. Will you allow this course to break you or make you?

While you guys contemplate the answer, I would like to congratulate Lucas and Ivy for representing the medicine faculty well. Thank you both for participating and bringing home a trophy as well as impressive titles."

Everyone clapped hands, mostly it was for the well-toned tall man. Alex rolled her eyes when she saw some girls dramatically swoon over the already popular wolf. His smile made way to perfect teeth that are almost blinding, his jaw, his eyes, his aura told him that his an alpha. Her seat became uneasy because the only she is able to tell his status is because of her nature, unfortunately she despise that she already generalized that all alphas are the same. Perhaps that could be the reason he is able to depict one's nature, it does not help his dominant scent made him seem to be more toxic.

She knows that if she is to survive here, she has to mot be noticed which is easy since no one has ever noticed her beyond greetings. Planning to sit at the center row forever, just to avoid the wolves or take up the professor offer to change faculties. The happy looking guy next to the alpha who has a calmer aura compared is a wolf. The odds. The odds that he will have classes with two wolves. The fact that there were two wolves that have the potential to affect her life made her feel sort of outnumbered, this is so unfair. What if they are douche bags or assholes? They are from the same pack and she has to be the odd one out. Urh, she hopes it is was not too late to change classes perhaps move to homeopathic medicine or science.

Or she can stick it out. This is mutual territory, she has the same right as them to be here. Good with that mental mind fuck resolved, she waited. Her strategy from high school is to wait until a group required a third member. She rolls her eyes hearing the humans run to join their groups, as to not feel bad she moved her focus to her latest escape attempt, drawing. Part of her mind did focus on what was always said but mostly her focus is on her drawing, she honestly does not understand why she is so obsessed with drawing a moon with pencil and when she has color it is always red. Perhaps this has meaning in some alternative universe, nah... It is easy to detect that she is alone all the time which is kinda sad but it is necessary.

She honestly barely heard Professor Williams beyond what is considered important but the groups of three thing would be difficult. She never barely fits in, hardly spoke to anyone not even during orientation week. In her defense, none made the attempt either.

[Perhaps your resting bitch face scared people away.]

Her wolf teased but that couldn't be it. She certain her awkwardness had a play in his current social dilemma but before she could get up and go attempt to mingle two shadows hovered above her.

"Lucas?"

Fighting her instincts to show subservience he faced the other man although with great difficulty. Her shoulders tensed as she faced the two bodies with question. This made her uncomfortable and as to why they were standing in her given space made her want to run. Why does she have to be the one running? There is an ancient part of history she is now grateful for that made Moon neutral territory, therefore she is not wrong for being there. She did not want trouble especially with an alpha, which made her nervous and unsure. She refuses to tolerate being weak, with the single brim determination and her will she managed not to back down.

"Would you want to be in our group?"

What? The entire class groaned out their disappointment because the most popular, good looking guy in class now taken (in a sense that their group was complete). Closing his book, slowly contemplating what to do or say next. He continued staring dumbly at the other man in front of him, praying his face gave nothing away. The other man next to him is slightly shorter, smaller compared to the alpha with plump lips the color of strawberry. His silky hair kissed with blond highlights making him look more like fuck boy than the 'bad boy image' his is kinda going for.

In academics Alex has always been most certain of herself. Not because of her intelligence but her ability to never forget. She has always scored the highest in all of her grades effortlessly. Alex also excelled in art, in fact before life made her face reality she wanted what every omega wanted in Callisto... She dreamed of dedicate her life creating though many forms of art, finding a good alpha to take care of her and the family she should have pleasure carrying. This was the life that was taught to them and for some reason she found solace in the fact life gave her a rude awakening exposing the dark truth of a world she trusted.

Even before the incident, even with her round about skills and broad intelligence the one thing that was hard for her to do is still to make friends. Breathe Alex. This is a new school. New environment. No one knows you here. You can be who you want to be here.

"This is Leo. Leo, Alex. Common, let's got to the back of the class there are many distractions here."

Lucas and Leo went to go collect their things and Alex wondered if what just occurred is real, she stood there not wanting to believe this is real. Her own kind has the humanity to be kind to her they asked for her permission and she sensed no hostility coming from the two. She continues to stare at the two wolves that wanted to be in a group with a lowly like her, the alpha did not look down on her this seems to be too good to be true.

"I have a perfect idea we can hand in as our Bio to research project. Since we need to choose one on focal point, I say we focus on humans." - Lucas

When they arrive at the desk she rectified what would soon bother her.

"Call me Alex or Lex. Alex is usually considered too long."

"Alright Lex. Sorry Alex, Lex will need some getting used to. Lucas that is a good idea but studying diseases in humans does not board well will creating a solution, some animals have the same genetic resemblance to humans. Therefore our research will not unnecessarily kill humans but will create more than what is required from the assignment. What do you think, uh?-"

"Alex. I suggest we go all in. Use animals to detect, find and make use of different plant life variant to finding the cure like with homeopathic medication. Once test have been concluded and deemed it a success, we extend the test to consenting humans to study the side effects."

"Frequent mixture of ideas is a tantalizing idea we can destroy our given task while also suggesting something new..."

"Lucas our new partner and friend is a genius. Let us go grab lunch and we can formally get to know each other. Na, common. Come the cafeteria is not far from here."

That is the story, blurred of how they met. The alpha and beta took a chance on a lonely omega that they did not know. From that day Lucas and Leo became very good friends with the awkward shy girl in class. Being friends with them even managed to take her out of her hard, closed off shell. She even wondered at times if her deep rooted fear that bore resentment of alphas is unwarranted. Perhaps she misjudged and judged based on one person. Despised an entire race (werewolves) based on her poor excuse of a pack.

The next year Jayden, an alpha from another pack briefly joined the group although he is from a different faculty. The only thing they all have in common was their nature everything else was them, they are just cool to be around. She felt like they considered her to be their sister because they teased, protected and even kept her out of her brain by always being available to distracted her. She's grateful that she came here because now she felt like she is actually part of a family.

Everything went along smoothly. They found out Jayden dropped out of school for about two years... rumor has it had something to do with his brother who disappeared out of the face of the planet. It is sad that the big handsome guy and feeling like his story is darker than was painted out to be. He did not want to talk about it and she totally understands because she also holds her own share of darkness.

Goodness, the guy is extremely intelligent although he does not look it. He is a charmer, with the ability to attract both men and women in his domineering presence and demanding grasp. She will not lie... She does not understand the weirdness that leads to an attraction to the same sex. Regardless of her useless pack she is still quite religious and find this ideology strange. Her pack would condemn and stone man or woman that partook in such practices that went against God. The point is that she suspects Jayden most probably has feelings for Leo, a man.

Of course Jayden is more of Lucas friend because they went way back together although they from different packs. Alex loves the diversity they had going on here although she was at the time still weary of the two alphas. None would detect her status and they respected the fact she refused to speak about it although she continued blowing money on suppressants.

Leo's enthusiastic nature grew on her. Well, that was until the third year and change threatened their friendship leading trials. Little did Alex anticipate the past attaching itself on to the group and threatening the future of their friendships, while also affecting the present with its shift emotions.
