Alpha's Princess

I'M LATE

Kylie’s Pov

It was already eight in the morning and I was sure as hell that if my little sister doesn’t wake up in one minute, I will blast her ears with the loud music.

“Cassie, I’m asking for the last time are you waking up or not?” I asked pulling the comforter from her but it made no difference.

Just because of her we will be late again for school and I can’t afford to get scolded by Mr. Thompson again in front of the whole class. Trust me it’s embarrassing.

One, two, and three.

“No, wait I’m up please, have some mercy on my ears I have only one pair of them.” And she was up at the right time.

She looked frustrated because her princess sleep was disrupted but I don’t care she was irresponsible, “You have twenty minutes, I’ll be waiting for you at the breakfast table.” I gave her the ultimatum and she rolled her eyes but maybe when the word twenty minutes replayed in her head she freaked out, “Hey wait, you gotta be kidding me, I can’t be that quick.”

It was her issue to handle, “Well you don’t have any options little sister, we are getting late so, pick your ass up and get ready.” I slammed the door and walked downstairs. I was going to turn seventeen in a week, other females of our pack get excited when they know that soon they will be able to know who are their mates and feel the mate bond but trust me, I wish I could do something about it.

Unlike other girls I’m not the one who wants to be marked and be with someone till they are alive there are other interesting things in the world like making a living, fulfilling your dreams, earning lots of money and according to me, it makes an individual weak because if the other one is hurt the first one can feel the same pain, bullshit I’m not interested in feeling what’s not even mine business to feel. People say it’s a sacred bond and our other half is decided by the Moon Goddess herself but I’m not sure of spending my whole life with someone who even deserves to be next to me or not.

My parents died a long time back in an attack by the rouges at that time I was only nine, they hid me and Cassie to save our lives, well that’s not what I say. Our grandmother told me this when I asked her, I don’t have any memory of my past, the reason is unknown to me.

I hurriedly prepared our lunch boxes so, that we can leave quickly. Well did I tell you about my wolf, she is Sheba a pure white color wolf with a tip in golden color, it’s strange that the tip of her tail is golden because no one in my family had a wolf like that.

She is a notorious one always putting me in danger, smart and handsome men are her weakness, of course, we don’t want a mate but she expects me to at least flirt and if I don’t, she’ll make me do things which are worse than worst. I hate her for this.

“Hey you can’t be that mean to speak like that about me, is it wrong to have a crush on the opposite s*x? Don’t blame me if you are asexual.” It was my wolf speaking to me. Wait did she just call me asexual?

“I’m not asexual.”

“Then why don’t you act like one.” Okay, I’m not fighting with her anymore I have to go to school.

“Cassie, are you coming? We are getting late.” I called her with irritation in my tone because of my recent convo with Sheba.

“Sister, stop complaining just give me two more minutes.” We are thankful to the Alpha and Luna of The Red Moon Pack for always taking care of us they say that our father was always obedient to them, I wish I could remember anything about him and mom because it’s bad that I have no memory of them.

“Sister, am I looking good?” She asked like always.

“Cassie, did you even take a shower?” And it was obvious she didn’t take it like always.

This question irked her, “Hey I did not have time for that and why don’t you simply answer to my question that I look good or not?”

“You look the same.” She hates the way I reply to her but it’s nice to see her that way, she looks cute.

“Hey by the way on your birthday are you doing something?” She asked packing her bag and I helped her with the tiffin.

“I have shifts to complete, you know that I can’t take a day off,” I replied honestly.

“Hey, how could you go to work even on your birthday?” She didn’t like the idea of me not even thinking of celebrating my seventeenth birthday or having any plans.

“Because someone needs to work to keep our stomachs full, we can’t always take money from Grandma. We should be lucky that I got to work at the packhouse but that doesn’t mean I can skip work to celebrate.”

We left our house to go to school but then she said, “Are we always going to be poor?”

I was taken aback, I didn’t expect her to ask me that, I was hesitant to answer that question because she thinks we are poor, “No, we will find a way.” I answered with a smile and I could see a glint of hope in her eyes.

“Promise?” Even though I wasn’t sure before promising her any way I did, “Promise, now let’s hurry up.”

“You are the best, she threw herself on me and kissed my cheeks, Cassie was fourteen, with blond hair, hazel eyes, a good height of 5’4, and a beautiful face, she looked like mom but I don’t resemble any of my parents just like my wolf.

“Miss Kylie Larsen, would you like to explain why you are late again for the class?” Cassie, I swear I’ll kill you, just because of you I’m gone again.

“Sir, I……I...” Okay, I have already used all my excuses and have nothing new to give.

“Sir, I’m sorry, I’ll try to be on time.” I bowed my head to apologize meanwhile my classmates were laughing at my humiliation.

“It’s going to be better if you are or I will not mind throwing you out of my class. I took a deep breath, calm down Kylie, it’s okay no one laughed at you again, you did not make a fool of yourself again, you are okay, everything is okay. I said to myself and sat next to my friend.

“Hey what took you so long?” She mind-linked me because any of us was least interested in being scolded.

“Cassie, it was her.”

“Oh! Your little sister is a real pain.”

“Hey, she is my sister.” Of course, I didn’t like the idea of her speaking like that about her.

“Anyways, he is on page number twenty.” Kara was my best friend she was the closest one I had after Cassie and grandma, I met her three years back and since then she is my partner in crime.

“Hey, how is Sheba these days?”

“She is fine thankfully she is not making a ruckus these days.”

“Yeah, she is an energetic one. Well, do you know on the day of the full moon our Alpha’s son is going to come back from abroad, he went North for alliances and we will be able to see him that day?” She is always full of gossip.

“You mean Christian?” He was the next in the line for becoming Alpha of our pack, I have never seen him in person because he is always the one traveling from one place to another and I never like being involved with the packhouse members.

“Yeah, trust me he is a Greek god, I already envy who his Luna is going to be.” I wonder why she tells me all these things even after knowing the kind I am.

“My dear friend you know this right that you are speaking all of this to the wrong person as I have no interest in any son of an Alpha, how he looks, and who his Luna is going to be, I live in reality and in that reality, there’s only one thing I need to think about and that is how to make a living?” I said giving her a forced smile.

“Kylie doesn’t matter what you say we are werewolves with our respective mates, and without them we are nothing.” Damn! I don’t want to hear anymore.

“Please stop.” I requested her.

“It’s a sacred bond, doesn’t matter how much you deny it right now, the day Sheba will find her better half you think she will let him go?” She reasoned.

“Sheba is half of me and trusts me she thinks like me,” I replied but my wolf was underconfident.

"Yes, we think the same.” I wish my wolf would have been a bit like me when it comes to men.

“Does matter what you think or say, I have only you as my friend and you are coming with me, and it is the end of the discussion.”

“But…..”

“Are you, even my friend?”

“Fine, this is the last time I’m doing something like this for her.” I don’t know why I will be going to a place where I least want to be, like to see Christian! Ah, it’s annoying when the matter of factuality is I can see him at the packhouse too.

“He must be hot right Kylie?”

“Don’t you dare think of flirting with him, he is going to be An Alpha, I don’t want any entanglement with him?”

“Bit of convo won’t harm.” I wish my wolf would have been like me
