Queen of the Alphas

Alpha and Omega

What happened to the fight exactly?

Gerald’s speed is unparalleled in his pack. This is true because he is the alpha after all. With genes bestowed by the heavens itself. Making him the superior werewolf. That’s why the move that he used should’ve been a sure kill. In that split second, his fangs and his claws should’ve found their way to the teenager’s flesh. Buried on it as Gerald reaches her organs.

But this isn’t what happened. The teen was able to see the wolf’s movements clearly. Even with the whole crowd unable to follow it, to the girl, it almost feels like she is looking at a still image. And that is how she got the upper hand in that fight.

She didn’t even need to use her weapon anymore. She grabbed on to Gerald’s paw and, threw the wolf – using Gerald’s own force against him as, the world of this alpha suddenly turned upside down. And because there was so much force in the attack of the werewolf, the same amount was applied to his fall. Creating the strong crash that created cracks on the ground and made it tremble as well. Creating the strong cloud of dust that obscured the vision of the spectators for a while. Leading to the current moment…

The crowd froze in place.

Nobody moved. Nobody even blinked and, although it may seem as an exaggeration, it almost feels like nobody was even breathing at that moment. The stillness brought by the shock is so absolute that, not a single werewolf in the crowd seemed to know what to do anymore.

Seeing them in this state, the victor finally made her move. Slowly, she got up and leapt out of the werewolf.

Although everyone could clearly see the sorry state of their alpha, nobody came to help. In their heads, they thought that they would be next should they do anything against the teen. After all, they have been programmed by nature in such a way that, they know when to back away. Namely, in the face of a dangerous creature.

The teen felt this. Making her sigh as she finally decided to speak to everyone.

“My name is Christina Wolff.” She began, her voice resounding across the fighting ground. “I know it’s hard to believe but, I have just defeated your Alpha.”

She pointed at the unconscious body of the morphed Gerald. One which finally went back to its human form. Still unconscious and, undoubtedly defeated.

“With the rules upheld by all werewolves, this means that I am now your new Alpha.”

Silence. Silence followed this again. But this didn’t last for long.

“That’s absurd.” A voice finally came from the crowd.

Christina raised an eyebrow. “Absurd? Why is that?”

The crowd moved, giving space for another man to emerge. This being the son of Gerald. An adolescent the same height as his father. With the build just being less bulky compared to Gerald’s. Other than this, most of the features are the same. Especially the eyes and how it looked at Christina with annoyance.

He is the next in line for the seat of the alpha. With the rules that all the packs share, this is supposed to be the case. That is, until Christina came into the picture.

“There has never been a record of a woman being the alpha of the pack. I’m sure that there is a rule written which prevents your kind from ascending to an alpha.” Seth stated. “Plus what’s with the way you won anyway? Nobody even saw you defeat my father because of how quick everything was.”

“Oh I’m sorry, is it my fault that your eyes can’t keep up with my speed?”

Seth glared at Christina. “No. But my problem is that you might have cheated. You are an outsider after all and a woman at that. Just by challenging the seat of the Alpha, I bet that you came here to destroy the pack.”

Murmurs began in the crowd. This is all they need. If a person is brave enough to speak up, then there would be those that are sure to follow. And true enough, other voices emerged.

“Yeah, the very concept of being an alpha means that the person should be from the line of the head alpha. Their bloodline is superior to everyone else and, since time immemorial, only a male has the capability to hold these genes. That’s why a female is never born from an alpha’s spouse!”

After this, the murmurs became louder. Turning them into distinct words. With the crowd finally beginning to express their sentiments one by one. All of them disagreeing with the decision that was being made for them. All of them disapproving of Christina’s declaration as their new alpha and…this is when Christina finally showed them their place.

Bloodlust. This is an ability that werewolves have. Depending on the strength of a werewolf, the bloodlust could paralyze a weak prey. The bigger the gap in power, the stronger this effect could be. But never has the crowd felt a bloodlust as strong as what the teen demonstrated.

Everyone was gasping for air. They felt their hearts thumping and beating so loudly that, they could even hear it from their ears. Almost to the point that it seemed like their hearts would explode. Cold sweat ran down their foreheads and, their bodies shivered involuntarily.

This torture lasted for a whole minute. Even the strongest of the pack, even the son of Gerald suffered from the effects of the bloodlust. And for those who were the weakest of the pack, they were on the verge of collapsing. But even before anyone could lose consciousness, Christina finally stopped her bloodlust.

Everyone breathed as hard as they could. As if they just emerged from a day-long dive in the sea. That is how terrible the effects are. To the point that it was only the sound of breathing, wheezing, and coughing which Christina could hear for a while. Making her sigh as she continued speaking.

“You’re talking about rules, right? You all seem to have forgotten what these rules truly are.” The teen said. “Just because I’m a woman, you’re ganging up on me like this. Just because your norms have told you that an alpha should be a male, you’re turning a blind eye on the fact that I just defeated your alpha.”

Half of the crowd have stabilized by this point.

“I don’t care about your opinions. I don’t care about what you have to say. I’ll only go by the facts.” Christina continued. “And the fact is that I defeated your dear alpha in less than two seconds. Now it’s either you accept me as your ruler or, I’ll force this pack to disband.”

The crowd finally got back to normal. Drenched in sweat but nevertheless still alive. Something that they felt thankful for.

All of them heard what Christina said. All of them also experienced her power. That’s why they couldn’t question that she won using her own strength. There wasn’t any sort of cheat involved. It was purely because of Christina’s strength that she won the fight.

“For the longest time, you’ve been stuck in the same backwater ways of yours. You’ve become prisoners of a societal system that is both obsolete and unreasonable.” The teen explained. “Just because I’m a girl, you think that I cannot be an Alpha? Just because I’m not from the pack, you’re pushing me away? Pathetic.”

Nobody spoke back anymore. Nobody even glared at her. Not even Gerald’s son. No. All of them had their heads lowered. None of them having the courage to look at the teen. For fear that they would be placed on the same state again.

“I am a werewolf just like all of you. I may not have lived for as long as your leader but, I’ve lived long enough to know my place. And that is at the summit of all the werewolves.” Christina looked around her. “Now, if you agree to make me your new leader, I need you to morph this instance and howl for me. Otherwise, you’re free to leave my pack.”

It didn’t even take ten seconds for the first morph to occur within the crowd. After this, everyone started following suit. One by one, they morphed into their wolf forms as they began to howl. Even the wife of Gerald did so and, although hesitant, Gerald’s son did the same.

It wasn’t the normal and proper ceremony but, it was a ceremony nonetheless. With Gerald still unconscious, Christina Wolff has taken over the Hound pack. Leaving a smile on her face as she spoke once again.

“From this day onwards, you will be freed from the shackles that have bound you. I will destroy the very foundations of this pack and rebuild it from the rubble. All of you will burn with the passion that I will offer and, from the ashes, your new forms will emerge!” Christina opened her arms wide. “I will be your true beginning and I will be your definite end!”

The wolves howled for their new ruler once again. Making Christina give her last declaration.

“I am your Alpha and your Omega!”
