Alpha

  "I will do whatever is necessary to help the pack, and you guys know it. You guys have saved my life twice now!" said Chloe.

  "Very well! I will get the team ready for tomorrow. I suggest you prepare yourself as well, I will not take it easy on you" said Luke.

  "I would not expect it any other way" smiled Chloe.

  Luke smiles back at Chloe. Her form has grown stronger. He admires her growth and her beauty. He grabs Chloe's hand and tells her she is beautiful. Chloe blushes and leans in closer. Her attraction for Luke has always been evident. He kisses her and catches her by surprise. Chloe trips over one of the branches lying on the floor. Luke catches her by her waist and pulls her close. Chloe grabs the back of Luke's head " If you are going to do something, do it now before I walk away" whispered Chloe.

  "You have to learn to control your desires Chloe. Everything is enhanced right now" said Luke.

  "Won’t it always be this way though? Everything is enhanced, one of the reasons we can smell things for miles" yelled Chloe.

  "It will always be this way, but you will learn to control it" said Luke.

  "Well stop wasting my time, the pack is waiting inside" said Chloe.

  Before Chloe can walk away Luke grabs her arm and apologizes. They look at each other with deep desire. "I did not mean to make you feel a certain way Chloe. You have always been very special to me, and I am sure to the pack as well" said Luke.

  "Very well let me go Luke" said Chloe.

  For a quick second a cold wind presses against Chloe's skin, and she could swear she heard Von's voice.

  The thought of Von irritates her even more, and she jerked her hand away from Luke with force.

  "Chloe please don’t be upset!" yelled Luke.

  "It wasn’t you …. I am fine, see you inside" said Chloe.

  Luke looks down at the dirt, and smiles. He grabs her arm again and when she is close, he caresses her face gently. Chloe is shocked and irritated, but she can't help but melt in his arms.

  "Stop with the games Luke" yelled Chloe.

  Standing there Luke was leaning against the tree topless. She gasps when she realizes Luke has taken his shirt off, his body was so perfectly toned. Her instincts kick in, and she throws him onto a tree. Luke smiles, and begins to strip her clothes off. The two begin to passionately kiss while undressing. Chloe jumps up and wraps her legs around Luke as they kiss. She has never felt someone so strong and firm. He lifted her with one arm, and with no effort. They look into each other’s eyes with full desire, out of breath and ready for entry. Chloe loses all control. She has desired this for a long time now. Luke lets out a low groan while Chloe screams in satisfaction. The experience is satisfying, and unmatched. She climaxes at the same time as Luke. They both stay locked in position with smiles on their faces. The tree behind them is clawed in and torn apart. They laugh and grab their clothes off the floor.

  "Well I guess we should really head inside now" laughed Chloe.

  "Yes, and Chloe let's keep this between us for now" laughed Luke.

  After things heated up in the woods between the two; Luke, and Chloe find the pack arguing inside the cabin.

  "What is all the yelling about?!" yelled Luke.

  "Troy here thinks he is the better option in becoming an Alpha. I explained to him that it is usually the strongest and oldest. You Luke are the oldest, but we are only months apart. However, I have certain special skills that you don't" yelled James.

  Fight For The Alpha

  "I am the oldest, but I will give you all a chance. James you are just as strong as I am. Troy and Mandy have advantaged because they were once feral. Chloe has great power and has survived a rare transformation. So, we are all actually equally suited" yelled Luke.

  "Becoming an Alpha comes with great responsibility. The Alpha will always be up in front of every battle and will always be willing to die for the pack. The alpha will also always have to train and maintain a level of strength" said James.

  "Yes, that is why most Alpha's are males" said Luke.

  "Why is that? Females are just as strong, and willing to always sacrifice for their families" said Chloe.

  "You are right, but the first-born wolves were only males for centuries. Making that a line of ancient males. Remember the older the wolf, the stronger they are" said Luke.

  "I see, well we shall see tomorrow" smiled Chloe.

  Troy stands up and faces Chloe " I would not mind training with you right now Chloe"

  "Is that a challenge? Let's go out back" smiled Chloe.

  Luke follows them outside to keep an eye on the training. The two head to the backyard and begin to fight immediately. Troy shows no mercy on Chloe. Chloe drops to the floor a few times but gets right back up. Troy laughs and maintains his confidence. Chloe grows irritated by his arrogance and lands a powerful punch to his face. Troy finally falls. He wipes the blood off his mouth with a smile on his face.

  "That was a good one Chloe but try harder" yelled Troy.

  Troy kicks Chloe down to the floor next to him. Chloe loses control and starts clawing away at Troy's face. Luke yells for Chloe to stop and runs towards her. James appears from inside and yells for everyone to come outside. Sky, and Mandy run outside to see what the yelling is about.

  "What is going on?" yelled Sky.

  "Chloe just lost control during training. There are rules if we plan on sticking together. Once we become an official pack, we will have to inform the headmasters and they will expect us to follow all the laws. I will start with the most important law. We do not kill humans. We do not kill each other. During battle, we do not fight till death. Once one opponent falls to the ground that is defeat. We do not go into vampire territory unless we get permission. Vice versa, the vampires do not enter our territory without permission. The only exception for these rules is when one or the other are in danger" said James.

  Sky chimes in " Yes, like the witches. They killed off an entire coven of vampires before. They did so because vampires were so out of control at one point and killing off their sisters. The coven tried to control their vampires at the time, but the ones killing humans and witches were completely out of control and in large amounts. So, the witches gathered, and created spells and killed off all 40 of the covens at the time. That is why Vil, and Von came to warn us about the ferals. If the ferals would continue to kill vampires, then we would be at war with the vampires and all laws would be broken. That is why we captured you both Troy and Mandy and killed the others. If we do not gain control of our own kind, the headmasters give permission for them to kill us all off"

  "I apologize Troy" said Chloe.

  "It is no big deal; you were not going to kill me anyway. I already had time to heal during your attacks" said Troy.

  Chloe laughs sarcastically "Your arrogance will get you killed you fool!".

  Mandy steps in between Chloe, and Troy "Ok you two this is enough! Please stop".

  Luke fumes with anger" Troy tomorrow you will be my first opponent".

  Troy laughs and accepts Luke's challenge. James and Luke look at each other with a smirk on their faces. James agree that it will be great fun. Chloe is still irritated and heads inside to start dinner. Mandy takes the chance to speak with Luke in private

  "Luke can I speak with you for a second before we go in please. I am a bit concerned about Troy, and tomorrow".

  "I assure you nothing will happen. Do not be nervous and give it all you’ve got. No one will really get hurt, once one falls down the fight will be over. And if Troy gets out of control for any reason James and I are there to stop anyone out of control. No one knows this but Sky's special powers is to calm anyone down on the spot" said Luke.

  Mandy still feeling uneasy and worried asked Luke to hold her. Luke stepped away and explained to her that it was not a good idea. Before Luke could finish his sentence, Mandy cut him off and held him tight.

  "Thank you, I really needed this" cried Mandy.

  Luke felt sorry for h
er and hugged her back. He feels the connection between the two as well. They walk back inside towards the cabin. Inside Sky helps Chloe finish dinner.

  The aroma lingers in the air while they wait for the food to be done. Luke and Chloe give each other glances throughout the evening. Once the pack finish eating, they all head to watch television.

  Troy walks around the living room with a toothpick in his mouth looking for trouble " So do I really have to share a bed with Mandy?" yelled Troy.

  James turn to troy irritated " Well there are only five rooms in this cabin. The cabin is not as big for each one of you to sleep alone. This is my cabin so of course I keep the master bedroom.

  Luke has been here for almost as long as I, so he stays in his current room as well. Chloe was here healing from her attack before, so she keeps that room, Sky is like a sister she has been around long enough so yes, she also keeps her bedroom. Mandy and you must share a room, the only room that is left. If you do not like the arrangements, you are more than welcome to sleep on the sofa" said James.

  Mandy grabs Troy and punches him lightly on the arm " I am sure we will be just fine".

  Troy and Mandy head off to their room. Chloe comments on Troy once he leaves the room " It is such a shame! Such a handsome guy, yet his temper and attitude sucks".

  Sky smiles " I still find him very attractive".

  "Oh, Sky please no! anyone but that asshole" Yells James.

  The four laugh and walk to their rooms to end the night. Chloe watches television until she falls asleep. She dreams of having passionate sex with Luke all over again. Mandy and Troy argue in the room for over an hour.

  "If you were not such an egotistical asshole you might see how lucky we really are to even be alive and to be accepted here" yelled Mandy.

  "You call this lucky? I am a grown man. I should not have to share and sleep with another person, especially if we aren’t attracted to each other. No offense but your voice is extremely annoying" yelled Troy.

  "Your whining is annoying!" said Mandy.

  "I am just going to sleep on the sofa!" yelled Troy.

  After nearly an hour of arguing Troy decides on sleeping on the sofa. As the sun begins to come up Troy immediately jumps up excited to start the day and show that he is worthy of becoming the Alpha. Troy runs to the kitchen. He grabs a pot and starts banging on it loudly to wake the others. The five come downstairs annoyed and ready to jump on Troy.

  "What is your problem Troy?" yelled Luke.

  "There is none! But I am ready for my battle with you, right now! yelled Troy.

  "Troy it is six in the morning, are you serious?!!" yelled Chloe.

  James jumps down the steps " This is preposterous!"

  "I am going back to sleep" yelled Sky.

  Mandy yells at Troy " Go back to sleep!".

  Luke steps down towards troy "No! I will not turn down a challenge. You are on! Meet me out back in fifteen minutes". Luke walks to the bathroom to get himself ready for the battle. Chloe knocks on the door as Luke prepares himself.

  "Good morning beautiful" said Luke.

  "Good morning, are you sure about this?" asked Chloe.

  " I am very sure about this, do not worry Chloe" said Luke.

  "What if you fall first?" asked Chloe.

  "Then the next person will take him down, its simple" said Luke. Luke smirks " We are a pack, if he wins it is ok Chloe. The stronger we are the better! One wins, we all win!".

  "You are right, we are all together as one. It is just so hard to get along with him" laughed Chloe.

  "He is still our brother now" said Luke as he walked out the door.

  Okay pack remember! As soon as someone is on the ground the match is over” yelled Luke

  Out in the backyard the pack gathers around to watch the battle begin between Luke and Troy. Immediately Troy waste no time. He lets out a laugh and starts punching Luke on his ribs. Luke dodges most of them and hits the back of Troy's neck. Troy spins around and lands one on Luke's head. Luke chuckles, and lands a powerful blow to Troy's chest. Troy nearly collapses but maintains his stand.

  "What is wrong Troy? That was just me taking it easy on you" smiled Luke.

  Troy frowns " Well I am not taking it easy on you! You are going down!"

  The pack cheers and circle around with full adrenaline waiting their turn. Troy grows irritated and decides to go with a head lock instead to put Luke to sleep. Luke struggles with the tight hold, but eventually flips Troy over his head. Troy lands on his back.

  Luke offers Troy his hand to help him up " Good fight Troy! I am very proud of you! Who is next?

  Mandy jumps in the circle " I am next Luke!".

  Mandy surprises everyone with her fast speed. She is a great match for Luke as well, but Luke's strength and experience are no match for Mandy. Mandy begins to panic, and Luke sees her eyes watering. Luke softens and gives her a few seconds to get her composure back.

  "I do not need a break! nor do I need your pity! Come fight me!" yelled Mandy.

  Troy hits Mandy in the neck and she drops.

  "Next" yelled Luke. James joins the circle with a smirk " I will be next".

  The fight between Luke and James last a very long time. Longer than anticipated, the pack grows worried and amused. Luke begins to show signs of exhaustion. He has been battling for over forty-five minutes. James use that to his advantage and kicks Luke's tired knees down. Luke is caught off guard and drops to his knees.

  "Wait does that count as a fall?" asked Chloe.

  Luke smiles " It sure does! Great battle James".

  Sky jumps in the circle and growls at James " Get ready!".

  Sky is very good with her hands. She begins punching and dodging hits. James smiles when he realizes how strong Sky has become with time. She is not as strong as Luke and himself, but she is powerful. The battle continues for a few minutes. James makes use of a nearby tree to climb up with his feet and do a back flip over Sky. He catches her from behind and hits her head. She stumbles ready to fall but does not fall. James whispers " Unbelievable" as Sky regains her stance.

  Sky regains her strength, but it is not enough to keep up. James punches her repeatedly and she collapses.

  Chloe joins the circle " I guess I am last".

  James approaches Chloe with caution. He knows of her strength, but also knows she is not as experienced in fighting yet. The fight starts head on. Chloe lands blows to James body, and James twist Chloe arms and punches her around. James begin to get the upper hand, and Chloe grows aware of it. She jumps onto James back and begins a head lock. James grab Chloe off him and goes to throw her. She manages to flip in the air and land on her feet. The dust from the dirt fly around, and she looks up at James with pure excitement. He realizes her eyes are trying to change color and form into wolf.

  "Chloe if you transform you will automatically be disqualified!" yelled James.

  "I can't help it, my anger, my instincts I am losing control" yelled Chloe.

  "Chloe breathe!" yelled Luke.

  "You can do this Chloe! I believe in you dear!" yelled Sky.

  Troy begins to laugh at Chloe " You poor girl...you are always out of control".

  Chloe stops in her tracks and turns to Troy with pure anger in her eyes " Troy if you know what is best for you! I'd advise you to shut your mouth right now! I will destroy you, plus Luke made you look like a rag doll out there!"

  The pack laughs at the comment and look at Troy for a response.

  Troy remains silent and looks away. Chloe regains control and continues the fight with James. With every swing that she takes at him, she can feel her body growing with power. James notices it too, but he continues to fight her off. Luke begins to watch as Chloe's speed also increases. James grows tired and lands a hard blow to her jaw. Chloe has no reaction to the blow to her face. She punches James right back with so much power he slides out of the circle and lands on his hands.

  James looks back at Chloe in shock " Oh my God Chloe! What has gotten in
to you? You nearly punched me all the way into the cabin!" asked James.

  Luke looks amused at James and Chloe " That is insanely strong!".

  Sky smiles and yells " That's my girl!".

  Everyone looks at Chloe shocked, but immediately celebrate and run to hug her. Chloe is the new Alpha of the pack.

  "I want to apologize Chloe. You have proven yourself to me and all of us!" said Troy.

  Chloe smiles " No need to apologize Troy. I was just fighting with meaning".

  The five transform and let out a loud howl together. The sound is heard for miles and miles. A warning to all the other packs, and super naturals. They have found their Alpha and are now a strong pack. They all begin to bow down to Chloe. Chloe asks them to all stand up.

  She is embarrassed by the sign of respect and admiration so soon. The pack all go to the lake to clean up and heal. Chloe changes back to human form and talks to Luke.

  "Luke thank you for everything. Thank you for giving me the confidence. I am going to need you all to guide me from here on out" said Chloe.

  Everyone changes back to human form and begin to circle around Chloe.

  "You are truly special Chloe. Now I need to tell you all some things. We all got some type of special power or skill. Some may have not found it yet. So, for starters James is skilled at making potions. Sky has the ability to heal the soul. She can calm anyone down. I myself can convince anyone of anything. The power of persuasion is very strong in me. That always comes in handy when it comes to motivating someone or to bargain with an enemy. I can already tell Mandy has super speed, and Troy has rage" said Luke.

  "That will be very useful during battle. Not to mention the angrier we become the stronger we become during battle" said James.

  "Ok, so what is my special skill? asked Chloe.

  Luke and James look at each other and smile at Chloe.
