All Chapters of The One True Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

~ A M E L I A ~Morning jogs had been my favourite thing lately. The sun warmed my cheeks as it rose to warm the earth, and the gentle breeze triggered soft prickles up my arms, down my back and down to escape the base of my feet as they thudded against the ground whilst I pushed harder and harder to keep my pace. And nothing would beat a jog in the woods. Breathing in that fresh and crisp air, away from the noise of the world and allowing you space to ground yourself…There was just something about nature. It was the same feeling I got at night. I felt more connected with myself.‘I’m home!’ I announced as I wobbled through the door, kicking my trainers off as I removed my jacket. It was a little after 8 in the morning and I was severely impressed with the sudden increase in my stamina. Especially considering, not even a month ago I was suffering with the worst flu I had ever experienced. I was surprised my parents didn’t think I was being overly dramatic when I said I felt like I

~ A M E L I A ~Jolting up and gasping for air, I patted my throat to see where the wolf sunk its teeth into me. My mind slowly reconnected with my body, and I released a huge relieving sigh as I steadied my breath.I fell asleep. It was only a dream. It almost reminded me of one of the recurring nightmares I had as a child. Looking up at the sky, which was now completely dark, just like in my dream, I rolled my eyes. Great, my mind was playing jokes on me now. Nothing seemed right with me, especially in recent months. Ever since I got sick, feeling like I was dying, then suddenly recovering with more energy than I ever remember having. My mind was in hyperdrive all the time. Not to mention, I’d been getting these wild urges, so intense that it made me want to break something if I didn’t get what I wanted. And that dream, it felt so real.What was happening to me?The comfort I would get at night, when the moon was out, or when I was outside in nature, was different to a human co

~ A M E L I A ~I was still in a small state of shock that the school allowed me to attend this late in the academic year; having exceeding grades in most of my classes helped. Plus, I mentioned to them that I was at a human school but that I am a pure-blood werewolf, so perhaps they felt inclined to have me be in a school with my own kind. Truthfully, I should have been thankful that they didn’t ask too many questions. After a failed introduction with the head teacher, who was frantically organising paperwork he had mistakenly dropped and mixed with another set of paperwork, I took a folder full of documents I required from the receptionist and scurried away to find my locker. Once found, I opened my locker shoved my bag inside and pulled out a sheet of paper from the folder with my class schedule on it to see what I had first. Health - 9am to 10am. A compulsory subject, so I was told, which felt quite odd given I was in Year 13, my final year of school. Surely we’d learnt all

~ A M E L I A ~Flopping my body on my bed, I released a massive sigh, ‘What a day,’ I said to my ceiling.My phone thunders a vibration. Rolling over to lay on my stomach, I answered the video call request, ‘Hi Mum!’‘Darling! How was your first day?’ Mum smiled. Her eyes were slightly red, it looked like she’d been crying.I let out an exaggerated sigh, ‘It was intense, but a good start I think! Have you been crying again?’‘No!’ She responded almost instantly, pulling out a tissue and dabbing the inner corners of her eyes.Rolling my eyes, I laughed, ‘Mum, please, I’ll be coming back once I find out the truth about my birth parents and learn how to control my wolf abilities better. I’ve already learnt so much about being a wolf in one day—maybe more than I want to know—but it’s still more than before!’Mum sighed, ‘I know, sweetie, but I just wish your dad and I could’ve come there with you, but with his work and mine—‘‘I know, Mum, it’s OK. You raised me to be independent and tau

~ A M E L I A ~ ‘That was amazing!’ Sammy said, still breathless, but her cheerful tone had returned, as she rushed over to me, ‘Please tell me that wasn’t your first time shooting an arrow?’‘Thankfully not,’ I said, breaking a smile, ‘I was one of the best archers in my hometown.’A scoff came from Everett’s direction. I darted another scowl at him. What a jackass. Turning back to Sammy, ‘Are you OK? I’m so sorry I put you through that, I didn’t mean to—’‘It’s fine, Amelia! I’m fine!’ She held my shoulders, ‘The fact that you stood up for me when you just met me, really means a lot,’ she hugged me.As she pulled back from the hug, I glanced down at the bow, amazed that I w
