The Alpha Camp (Prelude to Girl Alpha Mate Series #1)

1997

Hello, My name is Zander Orion Stone, but people call me Zade. Today is my birthday, and I just turned Sixteen today.

I am the oldest of the Stones family. I have three younger brothers and a baby sister.

We are a tight lid family, and we are always there for one another, which includes our pack also is close to each other.

I am so excited. My siblings and I are going to the family cabin in the woods close to the Alpha Camp that I will be going to a few weeks from now. I am anxious and scared. I hope they like me there.

I had a little talk about camp, and father told me he enjoyed the times at camp. He also won every contest he and his best friend.

My father told me all about camp and also to be on my good behavior because they give you scores at the end of camp, and if you have the most, you get to pick what Cabin you get to have, and your the head Alpha for your group that comes in with you at the same time.

So they are three selected to become the Main Alphas who control their groups.

On my sixteen birthday, I am nervous, because I am going to camp for new alphas.

It is called Alpha Camp, for all over the world for boys coming into be men at the age of 16 and to 18 years old before you get to become Alpha for your pack.

"Honey, come down, dear," mom shouts upstairs towards my bedroom.

We are in the Cabin, and we go there every year before school starts.

But this year we came here because I am heading to Alpha Camp.

"Coming, mom," I shout back.

"Gemma, darling, have the boys come down yet?" I heard my father ask my mother.

"Yes, dear?" mother asked.

"Tell them, boys, to get down here. I have something to tell them ." Father says.

"Okay, dear," she says while heading towards the stairs.

"Oh, dear?' Father asked the mother.

"Yes," she says.

"You can mind linking Zander. He already shifted last night," he says.

"Oh, yes, that is correct; he is now a man," she says.

I can feel someone's mind link me.

"Zade, dear, can you and your brothers and also your sister come down? Father has something important to say," she says in my mind.

"Okay, mom," I mind linking back to her.

I walk towards my brother, Spencer. I knock on the door, and I hear music coming from his room.

An hour ago, before we headed up to our rooms.

We just parked the car in front of our family cabin.

I got out of the car and wanted to go into the lake, but mom told us, siblings.

"Now, now, children, get up the stairs and go get ready. We have a big day planned ahead of us, especially for the birthday boy.

My good boy," she says with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, it is okay. I am always going to be your little boy," I said.

"Kiss mom ass' why don't you?" Spencer, my younger brother.

Which is only two years apart from me.

"Shut up, Spence," I said.

"You shut up," he says.

"Now, boys stop this now," dad says in his Alpha voice.

"Now you two have done it," Silas says to both of us.

He is my other little brother. He is the smart one and nerdy also.

"Come on, guys, group hug," says Sebastián,

He is my baby brother, and he is the kindhearted one.

"Go eat worms, Seb," Spencer and I said at the same time.

"That is not nice, and I was just trying to keep it calm and not fighting mode for us all. That is all, but you eat worms if you two want to be a d**k about it. Come on, Sil, and Sadie, baby let us get ready for the party for brat over their birthday party," he says

We just watch him and Sil, and he is carrying our baby sister in his arms and heading into the house.

"Why did you two have to be like that towards our baby brother?'' Silas says while walking past us.

"I don't know; I apologize for crying baby later," I said.

"No, don't even bother," we heard from the doorway.

It was Seb, and he is upset with us," Spence said.

"Yep, he sure is, but I know what makes him feel better," I said.

"What is that?" Spence asked.'

"Watching Disney cartoons," I said.

"Also, he loves ice cream; we can do both for him," Spence says.

"So we are going to find Seb, and convince him to watch Disney cartoons which he loves, and when we are going towards his room, Dad stops us and says he is proud of us for doing this for our little brother and he knows that we hate Disney cartoons," he says.

"I am glad we are a big happy family," I said with a smirk on my face.

"Get out of here two and make your baby brother happy again. I hated when I heard his whines from his room when you two come involved," he says.

"We are sorry, dad," we both said.

"You better be and be nice. Well, I know you both won't last long, but try to be nicer to your brothers," he says.

"Ooh, Seb," we said when we got to his bedroom door at the Cabin.

We heard sniffles, and then the door opened up, and there he was with red eyes and rubbing them.

"What do you two want now?" he says.

"We wanted to make it up to you and say that we are sorry for how we just treated you, baby brother," I said.

"I am listening," he says.

"Well, how about some Disney cartoons?" I said.

I saw his eyes light up when I said that.

"Also some ice cream, too," Spence says.

Seb is jumping up and down happy.

"Let's get downstairs and watch Disney," he says.

"Yippy," Spence says.

"I am so happy," I said.

"You two come off it, I know you hated them, but I am happy you're doing it anyway because of me," he says.

She hugs us, runs down the stairs, and tells mom and dad that we will watch Disney cartoons.

"Well, dears invited Silas and Sadie girl also," mom says.

"Yeah, that is a great idea, siblings, Disney day on the couch." dad says.

I think he just wants to have a nap with mom.

"Okay, sounds great. I call them two down." mom says.

"Silas, Sadie come down here," she says.

I noticed Silas was holding Sadie in his arms and walking down the stairs.

"Darling, be careful holding her, Sil," mom says.

"It's okay, mommy. He won't drop me," Sadie says.

"Awww, you are so adorable," Sil says.

We all head down towards the living room, and then Spence goes and gets the ice cream for us all to eat.

"Wow, this is amazing. Thanks, brothers," Sil, Seb says.

"You are welcome, pups," I said.

"Stop calling us that," Sil says.

"Well, you are," Spencer says.

We watched the shows, and then Seb asked me about "How dad and mom met?" he asked.

"Well, how they told me is this," I said.

"Dad goes away for a little while and lets his brother Luke take over until he is ready when he finds his mate to come back. He just graduated from high school when heading to college in New York, but then he didn't meet mom until his Junior year and Mom's Sophomore year of college.

So he goes to college and then he meets his mate when he was making out with a hot cheerleader named Becky, but he had no idea he would meet his mate at college, he gave up when he first got there three years ago when he first got to college, but later on, he found out that his mate's name is Gemma Wilson." I said.

"I always wondered why dad left a few months early to go to college?" Silas asked.

"Well, what I heard from mom and dad, Dad took his best friend's death hard.

"Later on, he named me after his best friend Zander Cole Stone, both of his best friends. I have their names," I said.

"Yeah, that is right, so what happened to Zade?" Seb asked.

I am named after my dad's best friend that died when our dad became Alpha; his best friend Zade was becoming Beta, they were training, and one day some of the pack members were all blooded and running towards them on the practice field. So they all got ready and mind-linked grandpa and Zade's dad, who was the Beta. They started to head into the forest, and then they had a war with the hunters, and it was fierce, but he fought hard beside grandpa and his brother Luke, but then he noticed Zade was missing. His minds link Zade, and at the time, his mind links back to saying he is okay and is fighting close by.

That was the last time he heard from Zade.

He lost many great pack members and warriors that day, and later, they couldn't find Zander. They tried to mind link him and sniff his scent out and everything, so when his mate felt this awful pain in her heart, she knew he was gone.

She told my dad that Zander had just passed away, and his last words were to me in mind. I am at the waterfall, please come and get me. I don't want the hunters to take my body away and that I love you, mate. I hope we get to be together in the afterlife. Be happy, love. I love you, Anaya lee." she says to my father.

So dad goes alone and brings Zade's body back and then the next day. He is buried," I said.

"Wow, poor daddy," Sadie says in a weak voice.

"Yeah, but life goes on, and he finally found his mate, and then they had us," Spence says.

"Well, how did they get together?" Seb asked.

"Dad goes to college in New York, as I said, and he meets mom three years later while he is at college as a Junior, and mom is a Sophomore," I said.

"Yes, we know that, but how do they get together and mate?" Silas asked.

."Mom had a hard time accepting the arranged marriage to the Alpha's son from the neighboring pack called guess?" I said.

"What was the pack called? " Spence asked.

"Come on, guess?" I said.

"The Stones Rock Pack," Silas said.

"Yes, that is correct, so they were already mates when they met," I said.

"Wait, they were going to be mated anyway even though they weren't real mates," Sil asked.

"Yes, " I said.

"How awful was grandpa thinking," Seb asked.

"I don't know, but yup, she was going to be mated and married to the playboy Stone. That is what people called him in high school and also college," I said.

"Wow, daddy is a bad boy," Sadie says.

"Later on, she finds out that her mate is the same one from Stone Rock Pack, and he is always with other girls. Even though that is her mate, he never showed anything towards her until someone else showed interest in mom," I said.

"That is when dad started to get some balls and go after his mate," I said.

"So after you know when she found her mate and caught him cheating on her, and it wasn't that bad, because he did stop and look at her, but then he did it again he went back and started to make out with that girl again right in front of mom, his mate," I said.

"So she goes back to her locker and doesn't pay any mind to dad, who is her mate.

"She just wants to go to college for a Business degree and nothing more. She meets her dad. Like I said, It was not a good first time to meet your mate, especially when your mate has his tongue down some cheerleader's throat named Becky," I said.

"Dad gets some background check on her, and he finds out that she is the neighboring pack he is supposed to marry, the Beta's daughter. He is hoping it is her. He finds out that her name is Gemma Wilson, and she is the one he is supposed to marry when he heads home." I said.

"Wow, again, not good, dad," Seb says

"Yeah, so he does everything he can to keep guys away from mom and tries to get her," I said.

"Indeed not good anyway, she was at her locker before she met him, and she smelled this amazing fragrance of honeysuckles," I said.

"I hope when I find my mate, it will be Rose's scent," Silas says.

"I hope mine will be burgers," Spencer says.

"Chocolate," I said.

"Grapes," Seb says.

"Do you want me to tell you guys the story of what mom and dad told me?" I said, irritated.

"Go on, birthday boy," Seb says.

"Where was I? I think I just called it a day, and I was heading up to my room," I said.

"No, not yet. Please finish. We won't interrupt again, and we promise, brother," Sil says.

"Okay, then," I said.

"Now, yes, she follows that scent, and then when she went around the corner, she found her mate, like I said, his tongue down some other girl's throat. She was heartbroken, but what the worst of it all is he stops then looks at her, then he goes back to making out with that girl Becky" I said.

"No, why did dad, why?" Spence says out loud. Just anxious.

"Shush, don't shout out loud. You will wake up the beast upstairs, and he looks like he needs sleep," I said.

"Oh, haha, you mean daddy," Sadie says.

"Yes, baby girl, that is who he is talking about" Seb, says.

He was playing the field a lot, I heard from my mother. She was so heartbroken. But he stops playing the field and tries to win mom, but she moves into a different dorm one day, and he can't find her. He goes to her old room, but it is someone else living there, and he asks where the girl was before, and they said they had no clue where she moved? They said to Dad," I said.

"So She sees father again when her roommate is dating Cole, and Cold told dad that Claire has a roommate and she is a knockout, you would like her. So dad says, hell, why not? It could be my mate that is her roommate. I hope he thought," I said.

"So the guys head there, and Claire opens the door, and then dad smells her, her scent he goes crazy," I said.

"Then They are both looking at him because they don't know why he is acting like that. Anyway, they are both humans, so they don't know that dad and mom already met a year ago. Now, dad is waiting for mom to come out of her room to see her face to face finally," I said.

"So he waits, and then she comes out, he is caught off guard for a second, and he rushes to her and says mate under his breath," I said.

"So now mom is a Junior and dad is a Senior, they finally meet again," I said.,

Also, I heard from how they were telling the story from both of their points of view that it took dad a long time to get mom to accept him because he came there that night to date Claire's roommate. What if it wasn't her, " I said.

"Dad had to show mom he is a changed man before he could mate with her and be with her," I said.

"So after mom was kidnapped, because a boy from her class was in love with her, and he got his daddy to plan it all out and make sure they were well hiding from everyone," I said.

"Oh, no, poor dad," Spencer says.

"Yeah, I know," I said.

"Well, dad finds her and brings her back safely, he had a talk with the boy, and he showed mercy towards the guy because he was so in love with mom because mom helped him with his bullies," I said.

"Awww, yeah, mom," Sadie says.

"Our grandpa, Rest his soul. He didn't like my dad because of what he did to his baby girl and how playboy dad was.

He wanted his daughter to have a better mate, but later, he respected dad when he saved my mother from hunters after he got her back from the stalker, then the hunters came along and took women and children to experiment on them," I said.

"Poor, mom," Sil says with tears in his eyes,

"No," Seb says while crying.

"Should I stop these stories about mom and dad?" I said.

"No, please go on, bro," Spencer says.

" After mom finishes college two years later, after that grandpa Wilson he dies from poisoning and found out that it was a nurse that wanted to be Luna, but grandpa turns her down, and she takes fate in her own hands and kills grandpa, so he didn't even get to walk his baby girl down the alley when dad and mom got married, " I said "So they get married, and mate and they have me. And they name me after dad's best friend. So that is how my name came involved. I was named after him Zander Dad's Beta/ Best Friend and also his best man/ roommate / best friend Cole." I said.

"He was like a brother to our dad and uncle Luke. They took it pretty hard, but dad wanted to take some time away, and he was getting upset because he couldn't find his mate. So he went to college in New York, where he found his mate. I loved their love story. I hope I get to have a great love story also as they have." I said.

"That is their love story," I said.

"So who becomes Alpha for mom's old pack.?" Seb asked.

"That went to uncle Luke," I said.

"Wow, why is that?" Silas asked.

"Mom had no brothers or cousins. So our Grandfathers made a deal. For Uncle Luke to become Alpha, and when mom and dad have a second son, he will become Alpha," I said.

"So that means Spencer, you will be Alpha for mom's old pack," I said.

"Wow, does that mean I am going to camp with you next year then," he says.

"Yes, you will," I said.

It became quiet, and I was thinking about last night I got to shift, and it was terrific, and I got to see what my wolf looks like.

Dark as night with Grey eyes.

Anyway, I am on the couch with my brothers and sister, and I catch up with everything and everyone around me. I am so excited about tonight. I got to stay out all night and shifted into my wolf again, Cole.

He seems a great wolf to me. And also has my back.

"You know it Zade," he says through a mind link.

"Thanks, buddy" I mind linking back.

His mind links me again, and he says, "Happy birthday, Zade. Enjoy the cake and food tonight—his mind links.

Now I am back to where I am at now. I am in the Cabin, and I just turned sixteen, and I am excited I get to go to Alpha camp.

"Zade, where did you go?" Spencer asked.

"I was just thinking, and I am getting sleepy," I said.

"Well, mom and dad are up from their nap, and we have to get ready for your party," he says.

"Okay, why did you holler at me?" I asked.

"Mom was telling us all to get up the stairs," he says.

"Yes, honey-like what he says," Mom says.

"Wait, what aren't you sleeping in bed with, dad?" I asked.

"I was, but now I have to make sure you all are ready," she says.

" Now, Honey, hurry up, birthday boy." mom says.

I look at her. She is so beautiful and a strong Luna for us and our pack.

She smiles and gives me the I love you sign in sign language

I do it back, and she is like, " Go on, get up the stairs and get ready for supper." she says.

"Okay, mom," I said.

"Now, we have a big party to plan for you in a few hours, so don't waste any more time in the shower, young man," she says with a look to tell you better behave there.

"I promise it will be a short shower, and I will be ready in an hour, mom," I said.

"That's my good boy," she says while messing up my hair even more.

"Mom, stop it," I said.

She just laughs and says, " On the double mister, up those stairs," she says.
