Alpha Caspian

Melissa

I was too embarrassed to face everyone in the square to return to my seat. Instead, I sat at the far end, near the exit, and watched the rest of the competition there.

I recoiled in torment now and again, touching my hurting back. Due to my weakness, my broken ribs would take much longer to heal, and I could feel them.

In most cases, it would take me about ten days to regain my strength, but once I did, there would be another full moon, and Jasmine would come back to take all my power.

Regardless of how hard I battle her, she generally wins because of the dark magic she uses. Jasmine broke so many laws as wolves are not allowed to use magic or seek assistance from the Mages.

My father disregards all that she does and the workers in the house dare not let out the slightest peep or they will be killed. I clearly can’t make any significant difference with it as I’m apprehensive how my dad would treat me.

He generally let her have her way and she meddled with everybody around her.

Talk about the devil. I saw Jasmine knock out the second opponent after embarrassing me when I looked up amid the loud cheers.

As the final opponent entered the arena, cheers were once more heard. I looked up a as the person I had been waiting for strolled towards Jasmine.

It was Alpha Caspian, the Alpha of the pack. This contest was open to pack members over the age of 30 and older. In the competitions, Caspian usually fought other pack members because he was still young.

The former Alpha, who was killed in a fight with Rogues, was his father. I heard the tales about how Caspian without any help slayed everyone of the Rogue on that day angrily.

No one dared to challenge Caspian, who assumed the position of Alpha by default. He was revered by my father as well.

I respected him a lot and some of the time, I wish that my mate would be somebody like him. Someone who would love me and have the strength to keep me safe. I would no longer live in constant fear or suffer humiliation if I had a partner like him.

I watched as Jasmine grunted and and cried loudly as she fought against him. She would lose to Caspian and finish second, just like the previous year and the year before.

I’m supposed to be the one up there . She is able to be this good because of my abilities. My extra abilities began to show when I was in high school and when she foind out, she didn’t allow me to get to master them before she looked for help from a witch.

Caspian won the competition by striking Jasmine to the ground and placing his hand on her neck, and the crowd cheered loudly.

What happens after this was all a blur to me. I didn’t really care about what was happening or rather still, it was better on the off chance that I didn’t try to get involved.

There was a festival and after it finally finished, the doors of that square was opened. I had enough of sitting here and watching everyone; it was already evening.

I got up from the bench I had been sitting on and made my way toward the gate so I could return home. I quickly stopped when someone crossed their hand over the narrow gate as I was about to exit.

Keelin, Jasmine’s friend, was smiling smugly at me when I looked up.

“Poor loser.” She laughed.

I tried to pass under her hand, but she lowered her hand, and I stopped quickly before my face could touch her hand. I ignored her.

“Don’t ignore me, I’m talking to you!” I stood straight up and looked at her as she said that in annoyance.

I replied, crossing my arms over my chest, “I don’t have anything to say to you Keelin.”

“But you do!” Jasmine suddenly pushed me from behind after I heard her voice behind me. I stumbled forward and almost ran into Keelin, but she pushed me back right away.

I staggered back once more and Alyss quickly moved out of the way, making me fall on my back to the floor.

Keelin chuckled, “Such a loser.” Jasmine poured the contents of the glass over my head just as I stood up, and I grunted as I sat up on the floor.

So I could see clearly, I wiped my face, and the alcohol caused the bruises on my skin to burn. I noticed a group of people standing around the corner when I looked around.

Before leaving the gate, I turned my head away and pulled my wet hair back.

“Make sure you don’t get wet again on your bed. The servants are already under enough stress from you! I heard Jasmine yell behind me and people burst into laughter.

That was the lie she told the pack, and I couldn’t defend myself because I was allowed to leave the house occasionally and some people avoided me because of my father.

They all held the belief that I was a weirdo with mental and physical health issues.

I walked because I wasn’t ready to wait for everyone to get over this and have my dad drive us back home.

I finally looked up after about ten minutes to see my house ahead. A swiftly moving shadow caught my eye as I looked over my shoulder.

I ignored it and assumed it was a real wolf from the pack running around.

I took a deep breath and stopped in front of my house. I grabbed the door handle, however I pulled my hand back as I chose not to go in yet.

I made the decision to take a seat at the base of the tiny forest behind our house. Usually, I went there to be by myself and just look at the sky. I gradually strolled down the slant and I stopped as I got to the foot of the forest. Before sitting down on the grass, I took a deep breath and exhaled.

I wanted to stay here for a while and take a short break from all my problems before going back to take a bath. My hair reeked of alcohol.

I investigated my shoulder again as I had this feeling that somebody was watching me. I wasn about to keep walking when I saw the human figure’s shadow in the distance.

Who was it?
