Runaway Alpha

I sometimes wonder… do I really belong in this place? In this a family I can call mine? I also wonder why do I always have doubts and question? Hah…

Looking at the area surrounding our house, I sat in the roof of are simple and humble home. Looking up in the sky I raise my hands…

It is as if I am a dog being caged… it’s like… the world is a big ocean yet… I am here… wandering in a small and shallow pond…

I am Emric Damen. Born as the eldest son of an honorable alpha who protected our back and lead the wolves to its most golden era, I am well aware of how heavy my responsibility is. I know too well that compared to other wolves, I am someone who is special. Although that reputation of being blessed means that I must show that how worthy I am to be my father’s son.

He is a great leader, he lead a whole army and make unity among all his men. A good leader is someone who just does not order his people around but also guides them and fights with them through thick or thins, that is his character. He was the one who carve braveness in every wolves whose some are now ‘Primordials’.

Strong, Dominant, Charismatic, Confident, and have a strong will… I always doubt that all of those characteristics are something that is present in me.

“Son, I am proud to say that the day would come and you will be the one to lead all the Primordials of our pack”

Primordials are the most powerful werewolves in existence and no werewolf can match their power, they possess some abilities that normal werewolves don’t. Their abilities are at their peak during a full moon. Heightened Senses -Primordials have extremely enhanced, keen senses of hearing, sight, smell, and taste and I will not deny the obvious fact that my father is the strongest among all of the Primordials in our pack.

They always say that I am strong and that to any other wolves in my age, they are nothing compared to me. They always say that it was me who will be the next one to follow the step of my father’s legacy. At first, I feel proud of myself whenever they praised me. As a little cub, getting praise and acknowledgment is something that boost my confidence. I am high and mighty just like my father, I’m not a failure will be a disgrace to my family. That is just a small wishful thinking i had when I was just a kid. I never knew that this world is not full of happiness. 12 years of age, that is when I first realized that my status is something I would never wish to have.

“Ha aha, Ilha Nalu, Esh Nerev Avesle Su. Elphe Sidi Umblehu Resavantesu”

[Ahh, hail goddess, she never leaves us. help these humble servants]

I was standing beside my mother who was bearing a small little cub in her womb. We thought that it was just an ordinary day to hear the words of the elder who can talk to the goddess of the moon. Little did we know that the path of the young me will soon be changed by her words.

She was so happy that her gums can be seen. Raising both of her hands, string fiddle circlet jade reflects the radiance of the moonlight that is brightly shining in the night sky. Everyone in the pack knew that it was a good revelation she saw.

“There’s a young pair of wolves will change the path of our wolvendom. The alpha will be born with great talent, mind, and strength that surpasses the others. He is young yet his power is something even the primordials will acknowledge”

With the words of the old lady, I can feel many pairs of eyes looking in my direction. It was overwhelming but at the same time it was weird, why didn’t I feel any fright. It was as if they are doing something so natural to me.

“Mom!”

“dad!”

You can hear how little cubs shout with full of fear. they clung to their mother and father to ease their fear and calm down.

“Stop! Enough. A mere child can’t withstand that’s sharp and powerful glares of yours”

I hear how my mother confidently shout those words. Even if she is bearing my siblings, a pregnant female wolf… she looks so strong to me. Just like a powerful alpha like my father, I respect and awe my mother. With that, I can feel that the pressure that is flowing in my direction slowly becomes faint.

The smile of the old lady started to get bigger as she’s there for me and the other girl not far from my direction.

“and the luna is someone full of elegance, kind heart, having the attribute of hot and cold, and her mind will not be easy to trick for her abilities is not far on what the alpha has.”

I look at the girl that the old lady staring at, she is indeed pretty but I think she’s frail… someone who is weak.

There is no hint of surprise when your eyes met mine. Our eyes are locked with each other as we hear the words of our parents and other elders.

“They are the said fated pair. Thee one that is blessed by the goddess of the moon. they are the pair that the prophecy talks about!”

“This is such a wonderful thing to hear.”

“It was written in the old prophecies of the elders. Who would have thought that I can see it and witness it with my own eyes! The prophets never lied. Wonderful! Very wonderful! We shall have a feast and celebrate this blessing we have received”

“For the prosperity of the wolvendom”

“All hail to the goddess of the moon”

I can clearly remember how the three stars are shining brightly up above the sky. It was the only thing I am staring at the whole moment after my parents and her parents agreed to make a contract and write our fate.

As the wind blows and makes the Erelena tree create an artificial fall, the elders of the wolvendom declare that as we turn at the age of 22, we will be bonded to become one and when that fated do come true, we will bring a wonderful changes in our pack. Indeed, that marriage is between…

” I and… Lhana”
