Alpha Female Vs. Alpha

Chapter 3

*Diana Pov

    "Mate!"

I turn around and see my parents looking just as shocked as i am, not really sure what we are meant to say or do. I turn back to look at the most handsome man i have ever seen. He is meant to be all mine. But he is an alpha and i can expect he would love nothing more than to have me move to his pack and live beneath his shadow. Over my dead fucking body.

    "I am sorry for my rude daughter Caleb, Sophia. Please come in. And i take it this is your eldest son Rick?"

"Yes that's right. This is Rick and his younger brother Toby. You met them when they were younger but that feels like a life time ago now doesn't it?"

"It really does."

    "Caleb i think it would be good if you and Rick came with me and Diana into my office. It seems like we have something to discuss other than your pack issue."

"Yes it seems we do."

    Caleb and Rick walked past me following my father into his study. I know i am meant to follow after them but i can feel Rick glaring at me and my family. Is he simply overwhelmed by the mating bond?

"You will never know if you don't go and ask him yourself Diana."

    I turn around and see my mother standing there with Sophia with a real smug look on her face that i would really like to wipe right off.

"Stay out of my head mother."

    "Then stop acting like a coward daughter and go. Consider this as your first big step at being an Alpha. A leader. You aren't going to be able to do anything standing here and arguing with me now are you?"

I gave her a sharp stare before quickly storming off towards dad study. I hate how well she knows me. My mother has this gift where she can peer into anyone's mind wither your mind-linked or not. My dad thinks it has to do with our heritage and he thinks if i train hard enough i might be able to do it to. Someday.  Since i was little everyone thought i was striving me to be like my father when in reality i have been aiming to be like my mother. At the age of 20 she was branded the best fighter in the pack, not only that but she has helped my father delegate many things when it comes to the pack and other Alpha's.

    The pack thinks it is all my father but i know the truth and i know she knows that i know. Which is why she lets my father train me so hard. She thinks it will help me down the track but i have never once trained with her. Too this day she has never told me why either. 

I knocked on my dad's office as i stepped inside, all eyes turned on me the second i was in the room. I looked over to Rick and his face is unreadable. I can tell from his body language that he is affected by my presence but his eyes are dark and hard. Like they are giving me a big fuck you or something. 

"Nice of you to join us Diana."

    "Sorry i was speaking to mom about something important. What did i miss?"

"Not much. We were waiting for you to discuss our next steps."

"Well if i can make some suggestions, we need to learn everything we can about the pack that is bothering you and any in-tell you might have. How many people they might have, how many of your pack have been killed or taken-

"No Diana not about that. Although yes that is on our next list of topics. But what i was talking about was you and Rick. You two are mates and we need to work out the next steps."

Caleb moved off the wall and walked over to me, he is taller when he is not slouching on the wall. He gives me a big small and a small handshake. 

"It is great to see the strong independent woman you have become. You are the spitting image of your mother and honestly Sophia and i could not be happier that my son is your match. I have always thought of your parents as close family friends and now this brings us even closer together. And we whole heartedly welcome you into the family."

"Thank you. I appreciate that truly."

"As do i old friend. She is going to become your headache soon enough."

My father and Caleb started laughing and basically congratulation each other. That really pisses me off.

"What are you two talking about?"

"What they are talking about sweet mate of mine is that you are to come back to my pack as my Luna."

I am looking around at the men in the room telling me what i am going to do and where i am going to go. They have the no idea who they are dealing with.

"Are you all done?"

They all stop talking and turn to look at me. I can tell they are confused from the looks on their faces. 

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Besides all of you thinking that YOU get to decide were i go and what i do simply because i am a female? Well you are all dead wrong! I am NOT leaving my pack and i am NOT going to be his Luna. If you want Rick you can be MY second here at my pack but i am not leaving."

"Diana love you will be Luna to an entire pack and besides-

"And besides what? You are going to give this pack to Cedric? The boy wonder who would rather fuck around and sleep with anything that moves over me? Someone that has worked for this my whole life? Over my dead fucking body!"

"She is defiantly a spirited one Aiden. Just like her mother."

"Yea sometimes a little to much like her mother."

"Don't you think you are over reacting?"

I turn to look Rick dead in the eyes and he looks amused, he seems to find my outburst funny. 

"Your right, i am jumping the gun here when there is an easy fix. I should just reject you and put this all behind me."

His whole body tenses as he jumps to his feet, he is standing over me trying to make me lose my focus. Trying to make me submit. Little does he know i have watched my mother make my father submit to her all these years. I will be damned if i let him bring me down.
