The next day, the sun was still rising when I reached the pack house, it casted a golden glow over the beautiful stone structure. With a sigh of longing I made my way to the field behind the building where the interview was to be held. If I passed this, a room here in the pack house would be given to me and that was the best way to stay close to Kaiden. All I needed to do way focus and ace this.

I counted four other individuals in the seats, probably also here for the interview. Three were huge male werewolves while the last was a female werewolf who sat with so much elegance. Void of emotions and utterly beautiful, I immediately knew Ice Queen over here was my main competition.

Without a word, I took the last sit. To allow no mistakes today, I had wrapped my newly black waist length hair into a bun, a choice I now regretted. If I hadn’t, I would at least have something to fiddle with.

A couple of minutes passed by when we were finally approached by a lanky boy with unruly hair.

His uninterested gaze roam over each of us first.

“Follow me.” He said finally and with those two words, he turned and strode off.

Not once did he turn to check if he was indeed being followed, he didn’t have to, we all followed and tried our best to keep up with his pace.

Shortly, we arrived at a wide garden and the boy left us there. Instead of flowers, the expanse was filled with different obstacles, rows of weapons hung on one wall, and strategically placed targets.

“Well shit. Its like a tournament or something.” I said beneath my breath but four set of eyes turn in my direction.

Wolf super hearing, of course. I needed to always remember that I was no longer in the human world.

“Welcome!” An elderly werewolf greeted in a booming voice as he made his way towards us. Following closely behind him were two other people, a male and a female werewolf.

They entered from a gate I hadn’t noticed earlier but coming from behind it was laughter and squeals of joy. I assumed that was where the children played. For some reason, the sound of happiness coming from the younger ones soothed my nerves and I was glad for that.

“I welcome you all to Greymoon pack. And to our very own, we greet you.” The elder offered the other female competitor a warm smile, to which she responded with a stoic nod.

The woman behind stepped up. “We believe you all are already familiar with what today is for but while we wait for the Alpha to join us, we shall brief you once again.”

“The purpose of today is to select and hire a capable trainer to teach and guide our children who are the future of our pack.” The last man stepped up and like that they continued, each taking turns to talk.

“Contesting for the position are: Drea Haldane, John Kim, Ted Ross, Ceph Timothy and Aliya Manor.”

Each of us nodded when our name was called. Aliya Manor, my new name was going to take some getting used to.

“We hope you all aware of what it means to be a teacher. For you will be tested in both wits and strength.

“Remember always that with great power comes great responsibility. You might find these words to be helpful.”

“Now here comes Alpha Kaiden. We wish you all good luck today, and as always, success shall find the best.” The elder finished up the brief.

Turn by turn, like a well oiled machine, they moved to face the gate they had all entered from. A shadow appeared first and my stomach turned in apprehension.

After all these years, I would finally see him.

“Welcome.” The low greeting sounded almost like a growl and my heart leapt. His imposing figure stepped into view offering me a good look of Kaiden and I froze in my spot.

Chilling blue eyes scanned the faces of all the competitors, finally landing on mine. Time slowed and an awful sense of deja vu hit me as his eyes lit up.

“You.”

    I am the most unlucky being on the planet. I bit my bottom lip hard enough to draw blood as images from yesterday flashed in my head. I had called him a colour-blind moron! Please tell me he didn’t hear that. Alpha Kaiden cocked his head in my direction and a sly smirk played on his lips, he was obviously enjoying my this. “Such a pleasant surprise." He drawled. "I must say, Red, I did not expect to see you again so soon.” Before me was the stranger from yesterday. He’s Kaiden? How could I not recognise him? Was that what that niggling feeling was? I stared back at him blankly and watched as his eyes took in my black hair. Curiosity stirred in his gaze and the intensity of it on me made me want to run away. Or get closer. With a blink, the expression was gone and the cold facade that was Alpha Kaiden returned when he turned to address everyone. “You all have been briefed so I’ll cut to the chase.

    It was the final round and I needed more points to make sure I beat Drea who had indeed turned out to be my main competition. “For the last round, your strength will be tested.” The announcer called and my hopes plummeted. “Each of you will be faced with an opponent. All weapons are strictly prohibited in this round as you are to fight in your human or wolf form.” A door to our left opened up and five brutish werewolves prowled in. The training grounds seemed to shrink with their massiveness. Whilst the scary new additions changed to their no less intimidating human forms, the announcer continued. “These will be your opponents. Before the commencement of the last round, you are each allowed free twenty minutes. Avoid leaving the arena until the end of the final round, doing so will automatically disqualify you. Your time starts now, enjoy.” ‘What was the point of the free time if I couldn’t even leave this death field?’ I thought miserably to myself as I sidestepped our intimidatin

    Paralyzing terror consumed me and kept me rooted where I was in plain sight of the menacing he-wolf. He didn’t spot me so I rolled soundlessly into a rose bush and followed his line of sight to see where his attention was at. My heart sunk further with trepidation at the scene.Huddled together in a corner with a snarling werewolf prowling around them were a group of children none of whom looked older than eleven. Fear was etched in their faces but they all kept a mindful eye on the little blonde girl with the knife pressed to her throat.Righteous anger quickly replaced my feeling of fear. How dare they even think of doing such a thing when the Alpha was just a few feet away? How had they even been able to infiltrate successfully?I noted that they had cunningly kept to the far side of the garden to avoid being heard and I was sure the noise from the competition also helped to mask the sound of their devious operation.“What the hell is taking that bastard so long?” the knife handler

    I woke up feeling like I had been run over by a truck and the voices coming from around me only worsened my gnawing headache.“Isn’t the underworld supposed to be a quiet place?” I grunted, burying my head deeper into the pillow. All I wanted to do was sleep for a thousand years and never get up.A certain someone however had other ideas.“Great, you’re finally awake.” Kaiden’s baritone voice sounded from somewhere near me and I squeezed my eyes tight trying to delay facing my reality.I heard him sigh then say, “Aliya and I will be back at the training grounds after I’ve had a quick word with her, you all can go ahead.”Shuffling of feet sounded for a couple of seconds then I was blessed with total silence.“You are healing up, Red, I think it’s time you opened your eyes.”I groaned and turned away from his annoyingly attractive voice. Every single part of my body hurt, the last thing I wanted to do was stand up from here.A shriek escaped my lips as warm hands clasped my shoulders a

    My mouth hung open.“Aliya Manor? Like me? Me, Aliya Manor?” I blubbered, pointing erratically at myself in shock. My eyes found Kaiden’s and he gave me a subtle, smug wink.Drea shot me a withering look. “This is stupid.” Raising her voice, she called out. “That doesn’t make any sense. I won! She got disqualified!”I narrowly missed the finger that she jabbed my way. Surprise slowed my retort but there was no way I was going to let my eyeball get poked out by the queen brat.“Sorry, babe, I don’t make the rules.” I said with a happy shrug.It all started sinking in. I had done it! I was going to have a place right here in this goddessforsaken pack house. Sure, I almost just got killed but is it even a win if you don’t get a quick taste of death first?Drea whirled on me with a snarl, her eyes glowing silver.“You did this!

    “And last but certainly not the least, Aliya, meet Quinn my darling daughter.” Kaiden said, turning the little girl in his arms to face me.“Wait.” I pointed at her in bewilderment as my gaze darted from Kaiden the familiar blonde in his arms. “You’re the pup from the garden!”Quinn tucked her face into Kaiden’s neck while his eyes darkened at my exclamation. “Yes, Quinn was the one you saved in the garden and for doing that, I owe you my life.” He said solemnly.Poking Quinn’s side gently, he nudged her to face me. “Go on, sweetheart, say hello to the new trainer.”Huge blue eyes peered curiously at me and so many thoughts raced through my mind, each one bringing with it more hurt and a deeper sense of loss than the last. Loss of what I had never had.“Hi!” She greeted me with a hesitant smile and wiggled out of Kaiden’s hold to stand near me. Then in one breath, Quinn went–“Daddy said talking about features are rude but you have the prettiest eyes and nose and prettiest everything

    A human skull lay in the middle of my room surrounded by shards of glass from my now broken window. The time on my phone read 11:47 PM.“This is way too much drama for one day.” I mumbled as I popped my head through the window in search of the culprit but they were gone and I couldn’t pick up a scent.I prodded the frontal bone of the ghastly structure with my toe, how does one deal with an expressly delivered skull?The scent told me this was the real deal and not just a model.I prodded the skull again, doing my best to suppress my panic when a piece of paper slipped out. Written out crudely on it was:‘You whore! You ruined everything! Meet me at the pack's east border before midnight. Don’t test my patience, Omega.’ My throat dried at the last sentence. The word ‘omega’ stared maliciously back at me, a title that I could never escape. How did whoever this is was know my identity?I threw on a hoodie, pants and my hiking boots on autopilot. Could they just be speculating?Stilling

    Yara's (Aliya’s) POV “Wat—” I cleared my throat and tried again, squinting against the harsh rays that streamed through the window. “Water.” I requested as I struggled to sit up in the foreign bed. “Hey,” A voice said and hands adjusted the pillows to help me get comfortable. “Careful now, you could rip a stitch.” No... “You didn’t.” He could not have come. No way he actually followed me here. “Here.” The object of my disbelief handed me a glass of water. I gaped at him, too stunned to move. Ian sighed, “Drink up, cupcake.” At his words, a scoff sounded from the other side of the bed, drawing my attention. My pulse leapt when I spotted Kaiden staring right at me with brows dipped and arms crossed. What is going on? I looked around me before bringing my gaze back to Ian and despite the concern written on his face, anger bubbled in me. Anger and hurt that he didn't trust me to do this on my own. “Why are you here, Ian?” I asked, tossing the covers away and swinging my feet to
