The Alpha’s Goddess

Chapter 3

~CALLIE'S P.O.V~

Our school is located dead set in the middle of 4 packs. They did this to ensure that the children were well protected after the attack 2 and a half years ago, which caused a lot of deaths to the innocent pack members in all four packs. It also allowed us to meet other pack members from other packs to give us all a better chance at finding our mates. The school is for werewolves only. That way, we could shift outside and train without exposing ourselves to the human eye. Although it is not uncommon for a werewolf to be mated to a human, it does make it more challenging to meet your mate if that is the case though. Unfortunately, because wolves try not to mingle with humans unless necessary, mostly due to the treaty, but also because we don't want to expose ourselves unnecessarily, the majority of the wolves take chosen mates.

With our school program, we are all required to take 1 hour of training a day. I chose the end of the day because I didn't have my wolf yet and although I still heal quickly, I don't have the speedy healing a wolf would give, and I'd rather not spend all day with bruises and cuts. Those who have no wolves yet due to being underage are trained in human forms, while the rest who have their wolves train in both forms to enhance their tactics.

Our school is not like a human school. For PE we have training. For history, ours is about the history of the werewolves along with every war known among the super-naturals, which include but are not limited to wolves, vampires, fae's, warlocks/witches, and also against the human hunters. Hunters are regular humans that were born and raised to hunt our kind, the supernatural. Although our pack has a treaty, not all do. Especially rogue wolves. As for science, we learn about the biological being of a werewolf. Mostly, this class is for those who want to be in the medical field in the future, like Jade. The rest of our courses are the same as humans'. Our school's name is Moonwater High. Weird name, right? According to the books I've read in the library, it was named after the lake behind the school. They saw the way the moon shimmered across the water, with how mesmerizing its beauty was. That is how our school got its name.

The lake was my peace, I would come here sometimes at night to be alone with my thoughts. The way the moon's reflection shimmers across the lake, the water rippling with the night's breeze, helped ease my thoughts.

4 different packs attend Moonwater High. Our pack, which is called The Silvermoon Pack, and our neighboring packs, which include The Bluemoon Pack, The Saltlake Pack, and The Riverbound Pack. We don't cross into one's private territory without the permission of the Alpha, but we do share an abundance of land in the middle connecting all 4 of our packs. Which occupies the school, the mall, the grocery stores, the diners, etc.

As we drive down the road, the song "Happy" by Pharrell Williams begins to play, Jade practically scream-singing along. This song can make anyone want to sing. I mean come on, it's catchy. I joined in creating a jam session in the car before school, which made for an amazing start to the day. By the time we make it to school, Jade and I are both screaming at the top of our lungs in unison "Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof...because I'm HAPPYYYY!"

We sat in the car finishing out our song before exiting, only to get glares from those who heard our horrid singing. Which only makes us both hysterically laugh.

We walked into the school parting ways, after saying goodbyes and agreeing to meet at Bug after our first class was over so we could go shopping. I walk to my locker to put the other books I won't need over the weekend, then I turn to walk to class. I started to feel uneasy as I reached the corner. I suddenly smelt Carmel and chocolate. Something about the smell makes me want to find it. My wolf is not present yet, however, so I am weary. You see, our wolf does not come forth until the exact time we are born. Since I was born at 10:45 am, I won't be able to meet my wolf until then. It's only 7:50 am currently. Speaking of which, I have to get to class, I have that big test in 10 minutes, and I cannot be late for it. I finally got around the corner and the scent began to get stronger. That's when I came face to face with the most captivating Carmel Brown eyes, they were looking at me as if they could see into my soul.

It was the Beta from The Riverbound Pack.

Riverbound's future Alpha and Beta came home 4 days ago, on Monday. It had only been 4 days and he already had some bimbo in his arms kissing her. Which doesn't surprise me honestly. These females just throw themselves at the higher ranks hoping to warm their bed and possibly become their chosen mate. Which, by the way, is HIGHLY frowned upon, because these actions are the reason why the Moon Goddess took away the gift of a second chance mate centuries ago. You have to search for 5 years before getting a chosen mate. And I know for a fact, the majority of these females are either not of age yet to find their mate or have not even tried looking.

Woah, I cannot believe I just called some random female I don't even know a bimbo. What has gotten into me? It's just Jax had his tongue down another's throat and not mine, which infuriated me. I have no idea why. It's not like I've ever talked to the man before, nor have I ever had erotic thoughts about him or anyone else for that matter. But what made the situation even worse, was not only was he in a full-on make-out session with this woman, but the entire time he kept his eyes locked on me, never breaking eye contact. I gulped and felt stuck as my heart clenched in my chest. His eyes showed me what looked like happiness. As if what he was doing was okay, which only made me feel more infuriated. It was as if he liked the way it made me feel.

I took a deep breath and shut my eyes briefly to regain my bearings. What was that? The entire time I had watched them making out, I felt a ping in my chest similar to heartburn. That didn't make any sense to me. I couldn't find my mate until 10:45 am. There is no way. I don't have time to think about it any longer right now. I speed walk, making a beeline straight for History, walking right past them. As I passed, it felt as if there were an imaginary string tugging me, begging me to walk over to them and take her place. I had to fight the urge. I had more important things to do, and Beta Jax was not one of them.

History was my favorite subject aside from training. I studied hard for this class because the History of our kind intrigued me. Think about it. The past, the present, and possible futures. It’s fascinating! Jade makes fun of me because I enjoy it so much, but she can’t say much because she is a nerd about science. We can both go on and on about each subject as if we were professionals.

I finally got to class, I walked in and got to my seat, sitting down. The tests are already laid out on our desks, face down. Something the teacher liked to do to “prevent” cheating. I quickly put my book bag on the ground and pulled out a pencil with only a minute to spare. The bell rang indicating the start of the test. I turned over the paper and jumped immediately into the exam, flying through the questions. I expected the test to be more of a challenge this time. There was no way I was missing it even if it were easy. I had a high A in the class and even missing this test wouldn't have changed that, but I am not one to dismiss history, it was too important to me to maintain a 105%. That is right, I had over 100 percent in the class, so skipping wouldn't have actually affected me in any kind of way. However, colleges will see the academic achievement in my AP History course, and it would work in my favor. Having an A in not only this class, but all of my classes for all 4 years will help me get into so many top werewolf colleges.

I plan to study this as my major in college. I’m not sure what career I can obtain with this degree besides teaching, but I have this need to learn all I can, and that is the only way to do it. I was on my last sequence of questions when I began to feel even more restless than I did while I was watching the make-out session in the hall. I felt this pain in the pit of my stomach like a period cramp, then out of nowhere I heard a faint cry in my mind. What was that?

The pain kept increasing, until it completely engulfed me, blurring my vision, almost causing me to faint. I rubbed my chest and abruptly stood, causing many to stare. I was finished with my test already anyway. Normally I triple-check my answers but the pain in my chest and abdomen was making it hard to focus. Instead, I stood up, walked to the teacher's desk, and turned in my paper.

I need to go get some fresh air. Something isn’t right, I can feel it in my chest. This can't be normal. Something wasn't right, something was very very wrong. But what is it?
