"You want to beco the strongest alpha there ever was? Aren't you a Luna?". Damien's eyebrows furrowed as he asked . He must think I am crazy.
His attitude made uncomfortable, but I stood my ground, not ready to back down. My eyes were staring at his as I said to him with my hands wrapped on my abdon, "Don't think I'm mistaken, Beta Damien. I am fully aware of what I have said. I want to beco the strongest alpha there ever was. The fifth of this month is going to be our pack's social event, and we're already in the second of this month. So, in order for the event to go successfully, I either have to marry an alpha, or marry a worthy and strong werewolf and make him my alpha, or beco an alpha myself. I have chosen to beco an alpha rather than choosing the first two options".
"Luna wants to beco an Alpha? Amusing". Damien muttered.
The tone of his voice clearly showed that he wasn't serious about my decision.
"What? Do you think I can't beco an alpha?". I frowned and asked him.
"Not just anybody can beco an alpha, Anastasia. I'm sure you know that. In our world, only the strongest werewolf can rule the pack. If you want to beco the alpha, then you will have to earn my respect and undying loyalty".
He added, "Leave the social event to . I'll handle it for you, since you don't want to get married".
"No. I don't want you to handle the social event for my sake. I am serious about being an alpha. Please tell what I have to do in order to gain your approval and the approval of the other wolves, because I must beco an Alpha before the day of the social event". I said, and was unwilling to give up.
"Alright, Anastasia. Since you strongly want to beco an alpha and want to earn my true respect and undying loyalty, I want you to fulfill your word imdiately by killing the rogue werewolves who had killed your parents. If you succeed, I will personally bow to you and acknowledge you as our pack's new alpha. I will help you beco stronger after you beco an alpha. Do you think you can handle any of this?! Do you think that being an alpha is simply a joke?! Stay in the mansion and behave yourself. You are not fit to beco an Alpha or a ruler". Damien said to , before he turned his back on and was leaving.
I clenched both my fists as I looked at his back.
I know Damien said he would handle the social event for , but strangely, I desperately wanted to prove myself to him because he had looked down on .
I hated being looked down on.
I hate it when people think I can't accomplish sothing difficult.
When I saw Damien open the door, I acted fast. I left my desk and hurried to his side as I stopped him, "Wait!".
He halted, but he didn't turn to look at .
After taking a deep breath, I boldly said to him, "Beta Damien, can you find the location of the rogue werewolves for ? If you find them for , I will prove myself to everyone by dealing with them".
I think my words caught Damien's attention, because he turned and looked at . "You're trembling within. I see fear in your eyes. Do you think you can defeat the rogue werewolves looking like this? Before you make a single move, they will have killed you. Stop joking around, Anastasia. The rogue werewolves are strong. They are not easily defeated. If they are easy to defeat, why didn't your parents survive?".
"I am not joking around. I ant every word I said". I replied to him. My gaze, although filled with fear, was fierce. Seeing him sigh in defeat, I could tell that he would give a chance.
"I see I can't change your mind". He massaged his temple when saying this to . "Anastasia, I purposely ca here today to et you. I have found the rogue werewolves who had killed your parents. After hearing you talk about the social event, I wanted to stay here with you and help you out before I go away and hunt down those rogue werewolves. But, I must change my mind now. I will take you with , and if you can kill at least one of those rogue werewolves, I will acknowledge you as my alpha and pledge my undying loyalty to you. And after that, I will protect you and help you beco stronger, so that in the future, when you're challenged, you won't lose your position as alpha".
I hesitated after hearing what Damien said to . I was wondering if my decision was the right one.
"Are you scared? I will give you one last chance, Anastasia. Back down".
Weird, but I feel greatly encouraged as Damien said that to .
Back down? Never. As a doctor, I have never backed down from saving lives, no matter how hard the chance of survival was for the patient.
So now, as a werewolf, I am not going to back down from becoming an alpha!
"Deal, beta Damien. I will go with you and hunt down those rogue werewolves". I said to him and didn't say anything again.
There was sothing about Beta Damien that made feel almost comfortable around him. Was it because his jet black hair and purple eyes looked similar to the injured black wolf I had pity for and saved so months ago?
