The Alpha Exchange: Fate of the Warrior's Daughter

Roger had made them run again, then spar until the end of the session. When they are all dismissed, Dahlia and Jael head towards Dahlia's house. They are stopped before they can go very far."So, you're fast huh?" Tyler says to Dahlia as he catches up to them. Dahlia nods. Jael snorts a laugh."Oh she's the fastest in the North Western territories Junior trials," Jael brags about her friend. "In both forms." Earning a raised brow from the alpha. "She was fast, even before her wolf.""Goddess, Jael! Please stop," Lia begs her best friend through a mind link. "Impressive," Tyler says."Well, they always encouraged us to find a physical activity we were good at as kids," Lia parrots what her brother always says when people ask them. Jael snorts. "Yeah but you made it half your personality.""I did not," Dahlia shakes her head. She looks at Tyler. "It was always just something I did to clear my head. Rarely had a bad run in the woods, you know?" "Sure," Tyler nods. They can tell he is

The next couple weeks are more of the same. They go to school, train, and hang out in the downtime they have. Sometimes Tyler ends up dragged into some semi-official alpha education with Alpha Lars. Until one day at training. Roger shouts for everyone to get back to the pack house immediately. "What's going on?" Vincent asks. Before he can answer they hear shouting and growling in the distance."Rogues!" Someone shouts."Get him out of here," Roger looks at Lia gesturing to Tyler."Me?" "You know the woods best, I know you can do this." Roger mind links her as he heads in the direction of growling. "Go now!""Just follow me!" Lia shouts to the group. Tyler and Jael nod and follow her."Who put you in charge?!" Vincent shouts. "Roger, duh!" Jael asserts. "Or don't follow, it's your life!" She shouts back. "Shouldn't we help?" Tyler asks as they hurry towards the main pack territory. They aren't going too fast so that the group can stay together. "Not our job yet," one of the oth

Lia shuts off her alarm as she wakes up like she does every other day, but stops by her desk after getting dressed. There was a good sized box with a ribbon on her desk and a smaller one next to it. She opens the larger of the two and finds a new pair of shoes she had been telling her brother she wanted for training, but they had been a bit pricey and she was going to ask James about getting. Nash had got them for her. She set them aside and opens the small one. It had a set of headbands in it that had various flowers on them. She picked up one that had collarette dahlias. She notices another with waterlily dahlias. "Bit on the nose, but lovely," Nova grins in her mind. "Wear the waterlily one." She redoes her hair with the new headband. "Happy Birthday, Lia," Nova tells her as Lia looks in the mirror."Thanks, Nova," Lia smiles. "We could find our mate any day now," Nova reminds her. "Maybe," Lia nods. "You should head down soon, your family may think they are being stealthy, bu

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Saige shouts as loud as her little lungs can when Roger opens the door to let them in.“Thanks, Saige,” Lia laughs as she accepts the hug from the little girl. She waved at Nix and Tyler, who were talking in the living room. Lia was surprised to see Nix there. She knew he was Cameron’s half-brother, but she figured he’d be on patrol. She looked at Roger.“He managed to swap his shift with Harris for the night. Harris says ‘Happy Birthday’.”“That’s nice of him,” she gives a sad smile. She wished the same could have happened for her brother. She knows Nash was bothered by the fact that he couldn’t get out of his duties for one night. James had tried, but Beta Oliver was not having it. Oliver had insisted their best Warriors couldn’t be caught slacking. Everyone was putting in overtime. Birthdays happen every day in a pack their size. If every Warrior took it off, they would have a weaker defense. And that was not acceptable. “You okay?” Roger asks through a mind link

Over the next few weeks, Lia kept catching an amazing scent, but when she did, it was usually fading, and she could never find the source. Nova was getting frustrated. She knew it was their mate. Lia kept this between them. The thought of her conversation with Tyler was ever-present in her mind. It was disappointing knowing that this meant there was no chance Tyler was their mate. He wasn’t 18 yet. The scent couldn’t be his. She was even more crestfallen when Tyler’s stay came to an end. He had to return home to his pack and his future duties."You'll have to come to visit me soon," Tyler says, trying to hide the disappointment of leaving people he had grown to care about. A car waits behind him."Invite us to your birthday," Jael says. "Our alpha would be foolish not to let us go.""He would be." Tyler looks at an alpha's 18th is a big deal.""Only second to his alpha ceremony," Lia states."And his mating ceremony," he says, his eyes never leaving Lia's. She looks away. She hadn’t t
