The Destined Alpha Chapter 15 The Official Candidate
*Abby Pov*“The preparations are almost complete downstairs.” Beta Eve smiled as she sat in front of me as I sat at my desk looking at the results of the test. I wasn’t surprised at the top name on the list, Mason. What did surprise me was the second name. My brother, Wyatt.I thought he didn’t want this post? Did he change his mind? Glancing at the actual score I was taken aback, they both got a perfect score and was ranked in 1st place. The next person only missed one question... who was... my mouth dropped open!Angela Branch!Angie was ranked this high?!Sweeping my eyes over entire list I see Brian and Mariah also made the list. I slowly smile, I’m proud of my friends. “Wow.” I muttered. “This isn’t what I expected.” I admitted.“Yes, but you shouldn’t be completely surprised, Alpha.” Eve smiled. “You have always been surrounded by a special group of people.” She sighed, something was definitely on her mind.“What’s wrong?” I asked, slightly surprised.She smiled sadly. “Just thi
The Destined Alpha Chapter 16 Angie
*Angela’s POV*Why am I so nervous right now? As I wait inside the small private tent, I am alone with my thoughts. Sure, I am confident in my fighting abilities, but hearing the crowd outside makes my heart flutter. I hate being the center of attention.Not to mention my parents are out there.I am very close to my mom, but dad.... even though I know he loves me he never really had much time for me. He was always busy training the other pack members and looking for his replacement. One of my earliest memories was of me running to my dad’s office, wanting to spend time with him. Mason had just told me he would take his dad’s place one day so I figured I would do the same. However, when I giggled to my dad that I would learn his work and be just like him one day he looked at me with a blank expression. No, he had said, gammas had to be strong, cunning, and he didn’t expect me to work hard and learn to take his place. He just wanted me to have fun and be his little girl.Years later I f
The Destined Alpha Chapter 17 Fighting for his Birthright
*Mason’s POV* I have got this in the bag! As I smirk to myself, I go over my last fight in my mind. That was way too easy, but then again, he was a book worm who always sucked at fighting. As if he ever could be a good beta. Clearly, I am the favorite to win! I didn’t miss a single question on that sorry excuse for a ‘test’ and even though I am not as strong as I was before mine and Geegee’s miscommunication there is no one that can beat me! The only person I was worried about didn’t even make it in the competition! He was currently outside, sitting beside my mate. Damn, the outfit she had on today though. She is getting more beautiful with each passing day! I can’t wait for her to realize that she belongs with me. I know what I did was foolish, but not unforgivable! I mean... I didn’t do anything with that other girl! My name is called again, and I smirk. I wonder who I get to beat up this time? Its Mariah! Ha! Mariah made it to the tournament???? This will be too easy! I laugh t
The Destined Alpha Chapter 18 Young Beta
*Wyatt*The crowd roared as I entered the arena. Looking at Mason’s shocked face I held back the smirk I wanted to flash at him. I have a job to do.Beat his ass and become Abby’s beta.As much as I didn’t want this title before, my mind is made up. In order to protect my sister, I would step up and help her as much as possible. Honestly, when I finally figured out that my whole life was a lie, I just wanted to disappear... but she, Dad, and Luna Ellie brought me back to my senses. I would never be happy just being on the sidelines... I’ve been in the mix for too long.And, like Abby said, I am her brother. No stupid piece of paper is going to tell me who my family is. I growled a loud growl that made Mason’s eyes widen even more as my anger started to grow. How dare she even attempt to talk to me?! I roared in my mind as I glared at my ex. This is the third time in this tournament she has linked me. My ‘mother’ sat beside her, that
The Destined Alpha Chapter 19 Young Gamma
*Abby*The crowd was silent for a moment, clearly shocked by my announcement. Then the applause started, it grew louder and louder as more and more people started to stand and look at Angie in a welcoming manner. She just sat there, confused and shocked. Beside her, Stuart started to shake her gently, urging her to come onstage.Finally, Mariah nods at me and spoke softly in Angie’s ear. It seems that Angie zoned out for a moment like she does sometimes. Finally, she stood and turned to the crowd, bowing slightly.“Angie, would you come up here and join us please?” I asked calmly, glancing at Jay who looks like he swallowed a fistful of glass. Beside him, Gamma Scott is... smiling? Beaming, even? Am I in the twilight zone?As Angie makes her way on stage, I hear Wyatt chuckling from my side. I glance over at him, but he shakes his head with a smirk on his face. He replied.
The Destined Alpha Chapter 20 Temper Tantrums
*Abby*“And what happened, is the next day when you were busy doing Goddess knows what with.... Delih... well with another pack member, me and Abby snuck into your room and filled all of your underwear with itching powder!” Angie laughed as we sat around the head table at dinner.“Wait, what?!” Wyatt nearly chocked on his food. “That was you two?” He glared at me and Angie.“Not just us....” Angie smirked as Brian and Mariah started laughing as well.“I wasn’t in it.” Stuart quickly said. “I told them it was a bad idea.”“No, you were the lookout!” I laughed. “But you deserved it, Wyatt! Pushing me in the lake right after I spent all that money getting my hair straightened out!”“My balls itched for a week!” He countered. “I thought that I-” He let his voice drop and growled slightly. “I thought that I caught something!”“Well, it’s a wonder you didn’t-” Brian started before I gave him a quick kick in his shin, shutting him up.“Anyway! New topic!!!” Mariah announced as she clapped he
The Destined Alpha Chapter 21 Daddy's Girl
*Angie*What the hell just happened?! I stood there as Stuart growled at Jay who was holding his head. “Stay away from her you man whore!” He growled as Abby walked over to him, I could tell she was sending him a mind link as Stuart started to calm down.What happened? Why did he fly off the handle like that? I can take care of myself damn it! Haven’t I proved that already?! As I stood there trying to process what just happened a couple of nurses ran in and grabbed Jay and took him outside. A moment later an omega came in with a giant trash bag, looking very confused.The sounds of Abby and Mariah’s laughter finally broke me out of my stupor, and I started to giggle as well. “Alright, now where were we?” I mentioned.“Shadow’s medicine. And after-party in Abby’s suite!” Brian grinned. “Who got the snacks?!”“Hey who said everyone was invited to my suite?” Abby grinned as they all started to leave my dad’s office. I chuckled to myself as I started to follow them.“Hey. Angie, wait.” My
The Destined Alpha Chapter 22 The Email
*Abby*“Looks like no Street Fighter tournament tonight.” I say as I toss my phone on my side table. “Angie is staying with her parents tonight, she said she has some things to talk through. But she says not to worry about her.” I flop on my couch and kick my feet up on the coffee table.“Oh, hope everything’s okay.” Brian mentions as he grabs the gaming controller and powers up Tekken. “Alright, who is ready to get their butts kicked?”Wyatt smirks as he grabs the other controller and I reach for my Switch. I have been neglecting my Pokémon lately.Mariah looks up from the floor where she was playing with Shadow as Stuart returns from the bathroom. She chuckles at him as he tries and fails to look around subtlety. “Stu, Angie’s not coming tonight.”His eyes get wide and he studders as he sits on the armchair. “Oh, okay. Um... alright.” He tries to look at the TV, but his foot is tapping and starting to drive me crazy.“Stu. She is with her parents, calm down. No one is taking her fro

The Destined Alpha Chapter 48 Ransacked
*Mike* The bottom floor was chaos. Abby was in front of me as we went downstairs, people were rushing around and panicking. Glancing around there were huge gash marks on the walls, and dark red splashes of dried blood streaked the once white walls. The smell of blood was overwhelming, and an unmistakable smell of pepper was mixed in. Some of the doors on this floor were also marked with a giant bloody X. My heart pounded as I soon realized these were all the rooms of my friends! Where are they?! Are they okay?! In front of me Abby started to growl, I could feel her anger seeping through our bond, and an overwhelming protective urge began to radiate from her. “Oh, my goddess!!! MIKE!!!” I heard a sob from the side and felt a hug almost immediately. “Thank the goddess you are okay!!!” Emily cried as her and Stacey surrounded me. “We’ve been looking everywhere for you!” “Why was your link blocked? Are you hurt?!” Stacey began to look over me. “I’m fine.” I reassured them. “What
The Destined Alpha Chapter 47 Rainbows
“Kitten?” I asked as I opened the door to the darkened room. “Where are you?” I closed the door quietly behind me and locked it before placing the key on a small table next to the couch. Immediately the intense smell of Abby filled my nostrils, making me slightly dizzy. Looking around, my eyesight eventually focused to the darkness. The room I was in was obviously a living room, with a large TV on one side of the wall with a couch and oversized recliner chairs facing it. Stepping over the strewn cat toys I started to walk in deeper. “Where are you?” I asked again, passing a small kitchenette... there was an empty wine glass sitting on the counter by the sink. Going further I reach a large bedroom. I freeze. This place... I’ve been here before... Slowly my head turns to the side looking for the giant windows I remember from my dream. Yes! There they are! What is going on?! Am I going insane??? “The two dollar tour...” I muttered to myself as I recalled the dream I had. The dre
The Destined Alpha Chapter 46 A Plea for Help
*Abby* (Years earlier) “Wyatt??? Where are you???” I cried, looking around the darkening yard. The wind was starting to pick up, and my little 9 year old nose wasn’t strong enough yet to find anyone. “Wyatt?!” I cried again. “Come on! This isn’t funny!” I yelled as I ran towards the back of the packhouse where the storage room was. I thought I heard something behind me but as I spun around there was nothing. “Wyatt!!! Alright! You win! Game over, just come out!” My eyes started to fill with tears as the rain started to hit the back of my neck and the sky got even darker. A crash from the storage room startled me. “Hey, that’s not fair!” I cried as I pulled open the door. “We’re not supposed to play in here...” I sighed as I looked around the empty room. “Where...” I gasped as I felt two strong hands push me forward, as I landed hard on the floor, I heard laughter as the door closed behind me. “Hey!” I yelled as I jumped up and went to open the door, only to find it locked. My hea
The Destined Alpha Chapter 45 Storm
Overhead, the clouds had started to roll in. The summer weather was starting to change from calm and warm, to windy and unforgiving. As a looming threat started to form everyone underneath the sky almost seemed... oblivious. Too wrapped up in their own struggles to see or predict what would happen in a few short hours. *Wyatt* Finally! The last of the payroll transfers are done! Before I go to start on the accounts payable for the weekly food budget a knock on the door snaps my concentration. “Come in.” I said curtly. The door opens slowly, and Mason comes inside. “Hi. Wyatt... I...” “Beta.” I corrected him. “And what do you want, Mason?” He came in, looking around at once was supposed to be his office, passed down from his dad, and his dad’s dad. But now it wasn’t. It was mine. “I... need help.” He admitted, his head down. “I... know I messed up. I had the world and threw it away.” I remained silent, letting him admit his sins. “But. I want her back. I NEED her back. I d
The Destined Alpha Chapter 44 What is Really Going On?
“There’s nothing going on!” I said a little too forcefully as I grabbed the plate. Mariah just looked at me with an amused expression. “I mean it!” “Uh huh. Like I said, there’s nothing wrong with it. Whatever ‘it’ is. I just don’t want to see you get hurt, Abby.” She sighed. “I mean, like I said he hasn’t talked about his past, and he is probably over 18. What if he finds his mate? What if there are some skeletons hidden deep in his closet? I just want you to be careful.” I sighed. “I know. Just... there is nothing there... really.” “But you want there to be?” “I didn’t say that!” I said as I nearly ran from the kitchen, my face burning. As I hurried out, I could faintly hear Mariah chuckling behind me. Damn it! But... is it true that both her and Brian can tell there is something between me and Mike? If that is true, then who else??? Secrecy is so important now, even though it kills me nearly every night it is to protect Michael... As I got closer to my office I breathed
The Destined Alpha Chapter 43 Luna Ellie
“Luna...” I started before immediately looking down at the floor. “Ni-nice to meet you, Luna.” “You as well, Michael.” I heard her say. “But you don’t have to study the floor so intently.” Slowly I tried to look up, but it was hard. Her aura was strong, stronger than the Elder. But that was to be expected, she was the Luna, a higher position than the Elder. “Mom, you’re back early. I thought you were still helping Grandpa....” Abby started. “Not to worry, Dear, we got that problem all straightened out quicker than we expected.” She said in a cheery voice as I felt her enter the room, closing the door behind her. “I hope I wasn’t interrupting anything...important?” She giggled. “Uh! Mom!” Abby said flustered and I finally diverted my gaze from the floor to her. Her face was flushed a deep red. I heard the Luna sit in the chair across from us and I looked towards the open window behind us. It's not like I was trying to purposely avoid her gaze, but it was like an invisible f
The Destined Alpha Chapter 42 Stolen Moments
*Mike* *One month later* “Hey Mike, can you grab those packs of bacon and get them started?” Mariah asked me as she started to toast some bread. Inside the kitchen, many of us were working on the lunch shift, fixing BLT’s and hand cut fries. “Sure, are we frying it again or oven baking?” I asked as I checked the time on my watch. “Baking, we can get more done in less time.” She answered. “Plus, we need the fryers for the potatoes.” We worked in a comfortable silence, completing our work quickly and efficiently while the members of the pack started to collect their food. “Perfect!” One of the other kitchen workers said as the last of the hungry pack members collected their food and we started to eat ourselves. “Since Mike and the others showed up it seems we get through the service faster and faster!” “Well of course.” Mariah smiled. “BLTs were his idea. Simple, quick, and easy to mass produce! Out of all the services lunch should be the easiest. And I hate to admit it, but
The Destined Alpha Chapter 41 The Mall
*Mike* I was laying on my bed lost in my thoughts of Abby when a knock came to the door. Percy mewed and jumped down from the bed and ran to the door. Another slight tap resounded, and I answered. “Come in.” The door slowly opened, and Mariah’s head peeped through. “Hi! I was told to come and get you!” Sitting up quickly I glanced at the clock on the wall. I was late! I must have fallen asleep! “Goddess, I am so sorry!” I quickly grabbed the shoes that were left for me and pulled them on. “I don’t know what happened, please forgive me!” “No worries.” Mariah said calmly. “It happens.” She was short, standing about 5 foot tall, and her shoulder length hair was dyed a deep red and pulled back to the nape of her neck. Beside her was a taller man, about 5 foot 9 but he was bulky, his shoulders were broad, and his arms were crossed. His hair was cut in a buzz, giving him a more intimidating demeanor. “This is Brian, by the way. He is coming with us for extra protection.” “Nic

*Mike* Finally, Trevor released my hand. “But I’m holding you up, go and get your food, we will save a seat for you.” He smiled, but his eyes darted to behind me, where Mason and Jay were standing. His smile dropped slightly. “Did you two forget training this morning? Gamma Scott was upset.” Jay scoffed. “Whatever, I’ll do double tomorrow.” “Double? If you have that energy, you can do triple.” I turned to look at Angie who was standing behind them with her arms crossed. “And report to Tracker Training tonight as well.” “What??? You can’t do that!!!” He growled, his face turning red. “Yes, she can. And she did.” Stuart glared back at him. “Or, if you prefer, we can take it to Alpha. Again.” Mason’s eyes lit up for a split second before it was gone. “Um, I don’t think Abby needs to be...” “Alpha Abigail.” Stuart corrected. “That is her name. Remember it.” Jay rolled his eyes again before huffing. “Whatever.” He growled before walking around them, still glaring. “I mean, y
