Farrell's POV
The black eyes staring back at me feels foreign now. As if I am looking at them for the first time.
I button the last of those on my shirt. The blue one that my mom chose. Pretty much all my life, she chose things for me.
Not anymore. But I just need to wait a little longer. I am the Alpha now. I have been an Alpha for two years now. I am eighteen and today is the day I finally get my wolf.
I ordered everyone to open the gates of the borders two years ago when I took over the title of Alpha. But then it was mentioned in the will that my dad had already written, that I don't have any powers to do as I please until I got my wolf.
So today is the day. I want to let mom have her way with me at least today. Because today will be the last day.
It's not like I hate my mother. I love her. I do love her more than anyone on this planet. But sometimes it's just suffocating. The way she cares is good but the way she over cares sometimes takes away small happiness from me. And I don't like it.
I feel like a prisoner in my own pack. A dumb Alpha with lots of words constantly running through my mind. An Alpha that the evil bows to, but I haven't seen more evil than people not even talking to me or merely acknowledge me.
The soft knock on my door brings me back to the present. I don't have to turn around to know that it's my mother. Because I just know.
Sure enough, I see her reflection behind me through the mirror. She is dressed in blue as well. She often told me that she felt included whenever we both dressed in matching colors. I don't understand the concept because she didn't leave a chance to leave me alone so there's no such thing as feeling included.
"Oh look at you my sweet boy," mom says as she walks towards me, placing her hand on my shoulder and staring at me through the mirror.
I can't help but smile.
"If you are about to say I look handsome, save it," I tell her and turn around to look at her and she looks taken aback by what I just said.
"Because I got my looks from you," I smile at her and kiss her on the cheek, making her chuckle and hug me.
We both walked out to see everyone already waiting. They all screamed "happy birthday, Alpha" in unison. No one is even looking at me.
Everyone here hates me. But they stayed back only because they were loyal to my parents. I don't know how to change that. I don't know how to make them trust me. I don't know if it's a good thing that they don't actually talk to me.
"Let's get to the grounds, shall we?" Mom asks and people smile at her with a nod and gives my mom and me the way.
I walk first, followed by her and then everyone behind us. Every year, I hope to find someone who talks to me and every year, I fail.
Of course there's Sebastian who is my beta. But he doesn't really talk much. He at least talks so I guess that's a good thing.
"Shut up and stop being noisy. You are hurting my fragile head!!" My wolf screams at me and I roll my eyes.
I still haven't mastered the skill of blocking him out, but once I do.. the pleasure of shutting him would all be mine. I shifted just before the sunrise and he already started being an ass.
"Now before the party begins," I say as I turn around.
We all are at the grounds where the parties take place. And parties in the sense my birthday every single year. No one here celebrates any other thing except my birthday.
"I am eighteen. I am your Alpha. I have my wolf and I have my order ready," I say, glaring at everyone who is just staring back at me with eyes as if they are expecting grave danger.
"Open the fucking gates, and let the world know what we are celebrating," I say.
"Farrell, you-"
"I love you so much, mom" I say, shifting my attention towards her,"but I can take my own decisions now"
She doesn't say anything and I look back at the people. Few look delighted but few others look frightened.
It doesn't matter what kind of danger the world outside these silver gates has to offer. I'll take all of it. And maybe return some of it back.
And maybe find a mate.
