Grayson POV (a week later)
I am on my way to Alpha school. I cannot believe it has been a week since I graduated from high school. It already feels like a lifetime ago. I cannot wait to start my new chapter in life.
The flight here was so long. 15 hours in a plane is torture and the fact that I am afraid of heights didn't help either. My wolf was antsy the whole plane ride. I need to let my wolf out as soon as I can.
I caught a cab at the airport and it dropped me off in front of the dorm rooms. I had to leave my brand new car at home since it would cost too much to ship it out. As I look around to see where I should check in I see a lot of young Alpha's standing and joking around with each other. I just hope I will finally be able to fit in. I need to be better.
I walk up to the table with the welcome banner in front. There is a girl sitting behind the desk. I am glad that we as werewolves has evolved and we are now letting females be Alpha's. To me girls can be just as good as boys.
"Welcome to Alpha school. Please state your name and pack." The most beautiful girl I have ever seen looks up at me. She has long flowing black hair with the most enchanting green eyes. I know I am going on a search for my mate, I just need to focus on that. I don't want to cheat on my mate.
"My name is Grayson Taylor from the Dark moon pack." She smiles at me and my heart skips a beat. This is going to be harder that I thought.
"So the most powerful hybrid is going to be Alpha one day. Welcome. Your room is 708. Your roommate is Anthony Smith from the Sky dance pack. Enjoy your time with us."
"You know who I am?"
"Every future Alpha Knows who you are. Our parents talks about you and your family all the time. I mean your grandmother is the moon goddess."
"Thank you I guess." She gives me a smile and addresses the next guy in line.
I made my way towards my dorm room. I opened the door and see there is already a guy in there. I guess he must be my roommate.
"Are you my roommate?" The guy I assumed is Anthony.
"Yes, I am. My name is Grayson from the Dark moon pack."
"Nice to meet you. Well, which side of the room do you want? I waited for you before I made myself to comfortable."
"Why don't you take the right then I will take the left. Both sides look the same to me."
"It kind of does, doesn't it?"
We spent the rest of the time unpacking. We also spent this time getting to know each other. I learned that we grew up completely differently. His mother died during birth, so he only had his father. His father is the strongest Alpha in Africa and was quite hard on him.
"You know your family is famous in Africa. Everyone, there is always talking about your angel mother, but is it true that she is the daughter of the moon goddess?" Anthony asks me.
"You have no idea how true that is. I have a powerful family, but I try not to live in their shadow if you know what I mean. I don't want to be defined by my family. Yes, it is true that the moon goddess in my grandmother." I reply sitting on my bed. I finished unpacking long before Anthony was.
"I know I am going to sound nosy or gossipy just like a girl, but I need to ask. Weren't your biological father human?" Anthony stops unpacking and turns towards me.
"Yes, he was. My biological father wanted my mother to abort me, but she didn't want to then she found out she was a luna. My father then adopted me per-se. When my father marked my mother it changed my DNA from angel to hybrid."
"So you were never human?"
"Nope. My mother was always an angel. Her powers just awoken when she met her mate."
There is a voice over the intercom.
Good afternoon students and welcome to a new semester at Alpha School. I am your Dean Noah Thompson. For all our new students, training starts at 4 am on field A. We train until 6 am. Breakfast starts promptly at 6:30. You then have until 8 am to finish up. The classes start at 8. Classes run until 1 pm. Your next training start at 2. Dinner is served at 5. Tomorrow is your first day so get a good night's sleep. Good night everyone.
"That is pretty early to get up just for training don't you think?" Anthony asks me.
"No, not really. that was the exact same time I got up with my dad to go do some training with the other pack members."
"Your father, the Alpha was training with the pack members?"
"Yes. he does. He believes that if everyone trains together we will learn each other fighting styles and that will make us fight so much better together."
"My dad never trained with the pack members. Somedays he sleeps until 9 am. That is why I cannot wait to take over from him so that I can make my pack better."
"I think we will be great friends. Together we will help each other do our best. We will help each other."
"Thank you, Grayson. We should use this opportunity to make as many allies as we possibly can. This will help us as soon as we take over our packs."
"That is a good idea. Now let's get some sleep. Our day starts at 4 am. We are going to need all the rest we can get. I have a feeling that they will not go easy on us."
We both turned and went to sleep. I usually struggle to go to sleep but tonight I drifted off as soon as I closed my eyes.
Grayson Pov.We woke up at 3 am to make sure that we get to the field in time. We went to the shower house and was lucky to find it empty.By the time we were ready to leave most of the dorm room got up, so we weren't swept up in all the activity.After we almost got lost twice we made it to the field. The instructors were already there waiting for us. I knew by the look on the instructor's face that it was going to be a long dayWe waited for everyone and once everyone arrived the instructors placed everyone into age groups. That means Anthony and I are in the same group."Settle down everyone. Look around you. This will be your group for the remainder of this course. You will train in this group and also eat in this group. Now I'm going to assign you a senior-only for today. He will run in front of you so you can learn the grounds. You have 30 minutes to complete this course first in human form and then in werewolf form. Now go."We ran after th
Mia POVToday is my 18th birthday. Not that it makes a difference. I haven't celebrated my birthday for the past 2 years. I guess I have not been in the celebrating mood."Liam come down for breakfast. You are going to be late for school, again.""Happy birthday Mia. Thank you for everything." Liam hands me a self-drawn card, I opened it up, and inside Liam drew a picture of me and him holding hands."Aww thank you, Liam. Now eat your breakfast. We need to leave."Liam started to wolf down his food as fast as he could. Liam is my younger brother. I have been looking after him for the past 2 years. It hasn't been easy, but we have made it work. As best as we could. I was only a child when I had to take up my brother's responsibility, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I had to drop out of school to find a job to look after him, but it is better than both of us ending up on the system.Liam and I left to pick up my best friend Kai. Ka
Grayson POV (1 week later)My first week at school is over. It was hard adjusting to the new routine, but I made it. It is the weekend and I have been invited to my first party. I can't wait.Antony and I are on our way to the party now. The party is at Richard Dunkeld pack. He is one of the guys in our age group. He comes to school each morning since his pack is based in Australia. Not far from the school.We arrived at the party and the party is already in full swing. There are loud music and alcohol everywhere. I just keep thinking that my parents will never allow something like this. The party maybe but not the booze.Richard came towards me and Anthony."Hey boys. So what do you think?""It looks like a fun party Richard," Anthony replies to Richard."Let me guess. You have never been to a party before?""I have been to lots of parties, but to be honest I have never been drunk in my life," I say feeling a little guil
Mia POVI have been working in the strip club for a week now and I hate every moment of it. The only good thing about this job is the tips I make. I make twice as much in one night than I do for the whole month working at the restaurant.I have learned so much about the clientele in the club. Some come for the dancing other for the stripping, but most of them come just to be social with each other.This week we had a bachelor's party. That was the best customer I had for the whole week. The more they drunk the bigger the tips were. The bachelor wanted a lap dance from me in the back so I went with him, but all he wanted was to talk. He told me that this is not his scene. I was so dumbstruck that I didn't know what to tell him. Cinnamon warned me about bachelor's parties. The groom is usually is the worst of the lot.It's at the end of the night and the girls and I are sitting at one of the tables and counting our tips. Just chatting away.I h
Mia POV (1 month later)Things between me and Kai haven't been the same. We have been avoiding each other since the night he told me about his feelings. Ava is starting to suspect something, but we could brush it off saying that we see each other at work all the time.After that night I decided that is was time to jump into the dating pool. The only problem is that the men I attract are plain creepy. As soon as they hear I am a stripper they think that it is an easy way into my bed and don't get me started about when they hear I am responsible for my little brother.Now I am part of a dating app. Tonight is my first date with this guy. Ava is here helping me get ready for my date."So what is its guy's name?" Ava asks me curling my hair."His name is Patrick Phillips. He is 27 and works at a bank. He has a son of his own, so he will understand that I am looking after my brother.""Sounds like a dream guy for you. I hope this goes well.
Mia POVI went to sit next to Patrick. He takes my hand in his. He looks at me with amazement in his eyes."That was amazing. I see now why you wanted to be a singer. You should do everything in your power to make that dream a reality. You cannot hide that talent away. Everyone in the world needs to hear your voice." Patrick looks so sincere. I haven't sung for anyone since my parents died. I only ever sang for people close to me."Thank you, Patrick. Like I said I haven't sung in a really long time. I am a little rusty.""If that was you being a little rusty. I wonder what you will sound like when you are in practice."I hear someone cleaning his through and we looked up. I see a man in a suit standing there. He is smiling from ear to ear, almost looking like he has won the lottery."I am sorry to interrupt your evening. My name is Domonic. I am the owner of the Fletcher Pub. I was here on a date with my wife and heard you sing. I am
Mia povI woke up with my alarm blaring next to me. I look at the clock and see that it is only 5 am. Why the hell did I set my alarm for that early? I turn around to fall back asleep when I remembered that I have an audition today.I jump up and a small happy dance. My dream might finally become a reality. I walk towards my closet. I look through my clothes but nothing pops out at me. I really need to make a great impression at this audition. I see a summer dress at the back of my closet.I take it out and realize it was the last dress my mother bought me before the accident. It is a black bohemian style summer dress with pink and red flowers all over it. It is elegant enough to wear to an audition but not overpowering enough to make me look old.It was like it was bought for my audition. I send up a quiet thank you to my mother. she always knew what I needed even before I knew it myself. I go in search of my black gladiator sandals tha
Mia PovI walk out of the pub after my audition and feel lighter than ever. I look up at the sky and smile."Mama, Papa. I made it. I am finally going to be a singer." When Domonic and Scott offered me the job I knew I was going to take it. The money only sweetened the deal.I walk towards my car and see an internet Cafe. No time like the present to draft those resignation letters." Hello. How may I help you? " The guy behind the counter asks me with a smile."I would like to use one of your computers to draft letters. I don't know how long I am going to be.""Right this way miss." The guy leads me towards one of the open computers. He logs on for me and moves out of the way for me to sit down.I opened up a word-document and decide to keep my resignation letter to the strip club short and professional. My letter to the restaurant was more emotional. Uncle Max the owner is like a father to me.
