Alpha Blake novel Chapter 2

"Selene? seriously now! I have been calling for you for the past ten minutes, child. Get your head out of the clouds. Luna Christy and Alpha Brock are waiting for you at the office. Please, don't have them waiting. Hurry up and go!"

"Ok, sorry!! I'm coming," I answered sarcastically, making my mom frown. I sigh and get off of my bed, placing my book on the nightstand and make my way down the steps to the office. I knock on the door and wait for permission to be let into the office. I can hear someone's footsteps nearing. Soon, Luna Christy opens the door smiling and gesturing me to enter with a sweet and gentle smile.

Although I have never been the kind to care about looks, I have to say- that both my mother and our Luna, are the most beautiful women I have ever met in my life. Of course, our alpha and my dad are not exempt as well. They are extremely good-looking for their age. Even their wolves are beautiful. Well, all except for my mom's. I don't recall ever seeing my mother shift before, weird right? But, I give it no thought, it's whatever to me.

"Come on in sweetheart," Luna Christy says. "Thank you," I respond dryly. I know it may be rude of me, but being used time and time again for fake friendships, just to get to my brother, made me get on edge over time. So yes, this is the reason why I always respond dryly or unemotionally.

As I make my way into the office, I see Alpha Brock sitting in his chair that is fixed in the middle of his dark mahogany desk. My dad sits on a lazy boy chair in the small sitting area that is arranged to the right side of the office. 

Luna Christy makes her way back, slowly, and stands next to her husband, alpha Brock towards his left-hand side. Behind me, my mother walks in and makes her way, sitting next to my father in the small living room.

"Selene, have a seat," Alpha Brock demands. I make my way over and sit on the cold brown leather chair, fixed in front of his desk. Utter and awkward silence overtakes the room, making me feel unease. He clears his throat as he commences to speak.

"Selene, do you have any idea why we have called you here?" He says and I stare at him in awkward silence, dumbfounded by his question.

"Umm, No, Alpha!" I reply. Luna places her hand on his shoulder, giving him a warm smile, which he humbly returns a bright smile to her. He places his pen down and fixes his sleeves before setting his hands back down on top of his desk, pursing his lips in a thin line before he sighs.

"Selene, do you recall anything about what happened to you, days before your first shifting years ago? Do you remember anything at all from what happened that day?" I narrow my eyes, 'seriously? I came here for answers. Not to be questioned!' I think to myself. I had completely forgotten about the mind link and forgot about canceling them out.

"Please tell me this is not as bad as it sounds? What do you mean by all this? what exactly are you trying to say? and...why do you look so worried?"

"Selene!" Alpha says in aster voice, demanding I calm myself down from bombarding them with all this sudden interrogation. "Dad, what does this mean? Please, tell me?" I calmly ask dad as the tears in my eyes begin to blur my vision.

"I'm afraid that you must pack your stuff, my sweet angel. You will be leaving for training. As of tomorrow morning, you will not be training with the other females in our pack. I'm... I'm sorry, baby girl." He stares at the ground, his gaze filled with anger and sadness. My mom and Luna begin to silently cry.

"Huh...Is this a joke? I mean, seriously? No woman has ever!!! And I mean never been chosen to become a lead warrior in the history of our pack since like a thousand years ago, so, why me? Are you sure about me? And, Why do I have to leave for the king's palace to train? Can't I just train here? Why do I have to leave? I don't get it." I ranted angrily, pointing to myself with all the frustration I was feeling.

Luna Christy takes a long sigh, she slowly grasps my hands squeezing them gently. Taking ahold of my hands, she smiles sadly, one of the most melancholic smiles I've ever seen in her pretty face. "My dear, I'm afraid it's true...but it's more complicated than that. You're not leaving to train with our king's army for a year like most of our top warriors have," She says locking eyes with my mom.
