Alpha Blake novel Chapter 3

"Wh,... this is crazy! You ... you guys are not making any sense, I mean, I am completely confused! Please explain? because I am just getting more, and more confused, and frustrated as I listen to what you're trying to tell me." I furrow my eyebrows, squeezing my eyes shut. This can't be real, I have to be stuck in a stupid dream again, right?

None of this makes any sense, none...at all.

"Dad?" he ignores my calls, closing his eyes, and turning away from me it almost seemed as if he was trying to fight back his tears.

"Selene, we have an alliance with a Colonel in a special force inside the military. He conducts a special elite group of werewolf-soldiers, who...protect humankind and our own. You were selected to join him and his team. You have to leave tomorrow morning. After Blake's ceremony this evening, you may go upstairs, and begin to pack... tomorrow morning, you will have officially become part of this team." His words echoed in my mind. This can't be real, werewolves and humans do not even coexist, it's just far too dangerous! Bad things have happened before. That's why we are completely secluded far away from them... how can this be happening?

"I'm sorry, Selene. They somehow knew that you had been chosen by our goddess as our next top warrior. They have specifically asked for YOU to join their team. We can not afford to jeopardize our pack's safety and say no. If we refuse, and we break our agreement, we will be forcing them to break our treaty of peace with them...If you don't go, they will have the right to overtake our land. We have to keep our part of the deal, if not, who knows the dangers our pack may go under? We will be exposed to other creatures and roaming rogues. I know it's a lot to ask of you... but our pack is in your hands at the moment, we need you to cooperate."

My heart raced, I fought back the tears in my eyes. I suddenly became quite fond of this pack! my pack! Including every member that was in it. 

Hazel kept trying to merge through, to speak, she was running in circles and whimpering. I can feel her sadness and frustration. She nipped at me to let her out.

"Please Selene, you are our only hope to keep the government away from our land. Our pack's safety is in your hands at this moment. " Luna Christy implored. "But what about Ty? Why can't we send him instead? We can ask for a new agreement treaty with them...debate the obvious with them. He's so much stronger, and he'll be a better warrior than she can be?" Mom implores, hoping to find a way out for me, to get me out of this mess and not have me leave. I can sense the frustration from each of them. 

Before they could break into an argument, I decided it was for the best for me to answer, I had to do what was best for my pack, and my family. "No, it's ok mom. Alpha Brock, it's ok, I will go. If that will be all for now, may I have permission to leave?" Alpha Brock nods, pursing his lips and giving me a sympathetic smile.

I began to stand, getting ready to leave. "Question, though Alpha Brock... if you don't mind." "Of course, what is it?" Alpha Brock responds.

"It's just, we still have a few months left before the school year ends. I'm supposed to graduate this year, will I not be allowed to graduate high school? Can there be a way for me to still attend and call Ty to congratulate him on our eighteenth birthday, or call home?" He takes a long sigh. "Selene dear, our contract with them will consist of a five-year leave. You will attend classes there, and receive your diploma there. While you are training, you will receive a rushed introduction to a career of your choice. Before coming home, you will receive your bachelor's degree. While you are out there, you must not contact anyone. No one must find out where you are. No one must know of when you are leaving, besides us, in this room. Everyone will think that you are away at college, nothing else, is that Understood?"

"Yes, Alpha."

"Very well, but be back before the ceremony. I want every member of our pack to be there to welcome and receive Blake, as our new alpha."

"Yes sir." I open the door, my mind is a complete bliss of utter frustration and anger, entangled in every inch of my being. 'It's for the good of the pack... even if I can't stand most of them... they are still my pack... and I must protect them.' I whisper under my breath. I take a long sigh, making my way out of our packhouse. The warm rays of the sun caressing my skin as I feel a graceful and warm breeze flowing through my hair. I think I will miss this place after all.

I make my way out towards the trees... I sprint a good distance in. I take off my shirt and pants placing them neatly on the floor. I can hear the twist and break of my bones that last only but a few seconds before Hazel, my wolf, appears in my place. I let Hazel take over as she starts to sprint out in the woods, not wasting time to have her run.

Hazel

I can feel the soft earthed soil between my paws. I let loose as I run as fast as my paws can take me, running through the many branches, bracing past them, scattering them about as they fall on the ground. The gush and whizz of the wind, and many trees as I pass in seconds. I can smell the beauty of the forest. The wind whistling about, the trickle of the water a mile away, and the love song of the birds chirping about.
