Alpha Queen: Amber Eyes Series 4

{This is the 4th book of the series Amber eyes. I recommend you read the first three books if you haven't so you don’t feel lost.}  -If there is no spacing in the words, it is the app. I have edited the books over and over and from my side, the spacing is perfect.- -Alana POV-  -Dream-   Dark.... mist... a golden crown falls endlessly. The mist gets darker and the crown disappears. When the mist clears, the moon shines above to a blackened calmed see. Two figures are left standing in the darkness on top of the water.  I see this as if I was someone else watching but I can see one of the figures is me, with my dark red hair falling down my back and a crown on my head.   I am holding someone's hand. All I can see is a figure of a man but it is completely blackened. I can’t see his face. I turn to him and place a crown on his head. We both turn around and an army of wolves appears at our feet.  The moon shines brighter and brighter until it blinds my eyes. When finally, the light dims, everything is gone. All it is left is a dark male figure in front of me and dark endless emptiness around us. I can feel another presence around me and I know someone is there but I can’t see them. It’s like a light that avoids my eyes staying on my peripheral vision.   The man figure in front of me holds a hand out to me, urging me to take it but I don’t. All I can hear in my head is the word mate.   I shake my head and step back. He lowers his hand and his body language turns to a disappointed one. He disappears leaving me in the emptiness, alone.  I look around and all I can see is darkness. I go in circles feeling out of breath and panic starts to rise. I am all alone. When I finally stop, my crown falls and when it reaches the floor, it shatters.  *Gasp*  I sit up abruptly gasping and out of my dream. I close my eyes and take deep breaths trying to calm myself.  ‘This is getting ridiculous Hestia. It’s the same dream over and over.... actually, I find it to be more like a nightmare.’  Hestia sighs. ‘If it’s your self-conscious telling you that you want a mate... forget it. That is not going to happen. I am not bowing to anyone.’  I sigh.  I've had this nightmare since my parents died. It’s the same one every time. I stopped having it for a while but then it started again a couple of months ago.  I look around my room and there is little light coming from outside. It’s almost dawn.  “Dammit. Now I can’t sleep.”  I sigh and get up heading to my bathroom. I look in the mirror and I am sweaty. I splash some water on my face and cool off. Then I remember what I have to do today and now I am annoyed.  ‘We have to meet with the arrogant hunk.’ Hestia says.  “Yea.” I growl out.  ‘Should we cancel it?’  ‘No. We need to be responsible.’ I roll my eyes as I tell her that. I just want to stay here in my bed today but I know I can’t.  I sigh again. “I think I’ll go for a walk. Maybe that will help.”  I head out of my room and down a hall. It’s quiet and dark. I head down the stairs and see some of the warriors walking around.   “Alpha.” They say lowering their heads and I give them a smile.  I head into the kitchen and start making some coffee.   “Couldn’t sleep?” Kamila asks startling me.  She is one of the few people I trust. She stands next to me and smiles. She has long blond hair and brown eyes. She doesn’t have a position in our pack like a Beta or a Gamma but because our pack is so big, she helps me like Bobby, my Gamma would. So she is like an unofficial Gamma I guess you could say.  “No.” I say.  “Is it the Alpha hunk?” She asks. “What?!”  She laughs. “You can’t deny that he is something to look at.”  ‘True.’ Hestia says.  “Nope, nothing to do with him.” I say.  She smiles. “Good. That man will be too much trouble.”  I look out the French doors that lead to the back of the kitchen with my coffee in hand.   It’s a foggy morning. I love the outside smell in the mornings. I look out into the woods and all I want to do is shift and stay running all day. I love nature.   One thing I wish I would have done when May, Marco, and Sasha were here was going for a run with them. I miss having a family. I used to go for runs with my parents all the time.  They died when I was fifteen. We were attacked by another neighboring pack that we had a feud with, the Razor Fang Pack. They took us by surprise in the middle of the night. We fought and managed to take them out but not before they killed my parents and me. That’s the day that I found out about my abilities. Both my parents were of Alpha blood and my dad was the Alpha of our pack. But I wasn’t his real daughter.   When they died, Hector explained everything to me. My mom had a night out in the city when she was younger and she met Rowan. It was a one-night stand but she got pregnant. A year later when I was around two months, she met my father Omar and he fell in love with her and took me as his own.   I am grateful that Rowan never found me. After what Marco and May told me, I feel like I was lucky. To me, my real father will always be Alpha Omar, he loved me like I was his daughter even though he knew that I wasn’t his.   With Hector's guidance, I took over the pack after they died.  When I came back to life after the enemy beta killed me. I took him by surprise and ended up killing him. I took command and led our pack to victory that night. I used everything that my father taught me.   After that, I commanded an attack on the enemy pack and exterminated them. We took in those that wanted to join our pack after the attack but their pack doesn’t exist anymore. I eliminated it from the face of the earth. I was young and a female, but because of my gifts and how I lead my pack against the enemy, my pack accepted me as their Alpha immediately.  ‘Alana, if we are going to the meeting, we should get ready.’ Hestia says taking me out of my thoughts.  I sigh.  ‘Alright.’  I leave Kamila who was watching me the whole time and head to my room. Once in my room, I walk to the closet. It looks like a nice fancy store. The perks about being the Alpha. I get a fancy room, a big bathroom and basically, everything I want. Of course, it all comes with huge responsibilities but I can handle them.   Sometimes I feel like I was born for this. My mother was the daughter of the Alpha of our pack and descendant of royals. She met my father, Omar. He was of Alpha blood but not first borne to his pack. I was only a few months old when he took my mother as his mate and he became the Alpha of our pack. He took me as his own and trained me as a father would train an Alpha male which is not something normal. Females are not meant to be Alpha of a pack.  ‘Are you just going to stand there? I guess we are not going to the meeting after all.’ Hestia says.  “Sorry, you know me. Always getting distracted.”  I look through my dresses.   “Which one should I wear?”  ‘The blue tight one.’ Hestia says. ‘It pushes our big boobs up and makes us look super hot.’  I smile and take the blue dress. It’s a tight tube dress to the knees and a tight sweetheart neckline with two-inch straps on the shoulders. I wear black high heels and start brushing my hair leaving it down. I put make-up on and when I am done, I examine myself in the mirror.   ‘Perfect.’ Hestia says.  I smile and nod agreeing.   ‘Now, let’s go and put that infuriating man in his place.’ She says.  Someone knocks on my door and I know it’s Bobby, my Gamma or third in command.  “You ready?” He asks through the door.  I walk to the door and open it.   “Ready.” I say.  He has sandy blond short hair with brown eyes.  He is twenty-two and is a good friend of mine along with Kamila who is twenty-five. I don’t have many friends because I am always so wrapped up in pack business. When I dropped out of school to focus on leading the pack, I lost all my human friends.   “Hector has the car ready.” He says as we start to walk down the stairs. “So what exactly are you going to do?” He asks.  “Well, since yesterday you found the documents stating that his family did lend us lands, I told Alpha Kingston to meet us in the land area that is in the document.”  “So you are going to hand him the land back then.” He says.  “Yes, it’s only right... but please don’t remind me or I’ll have another outburst of anger.”   He looks at me like he’s scared.   When I am angry, I rage. Goddess help whatever or whoever is in front of me.  I give him a side glance. “And you know I am not going to make it easy for him.”  He now smirks. “Oh, I know.”  We head out of the house and see Hector, my Beta, waiting. He is in his late thirties. He has brown hair and hazel eyes. His figure is lean and tall.  “Are you sure you don’t want us to go with you?” He asks as I get closer.  I shake my head about to tell him, no but I am cut off.   “Don’t worry, I’ll be there.” We hear Kamila say.   I look back at Hector. “No, I want you contacting Marco and May to see how everything is going on their part.”  I look at Bobby. “I want you to make a new contract for Alpha Kingston. One that he will sign stating that his land has been returned once I talk with him.”  Bobby nods.  Kamila and I get in a van with one of my warriors driving and another van with four more warriors following us.   We start driving. The meeting is in our territory so it will only take a few minutes to get there.  “Alpha Kingston is very handsome, but don’t go falling for him. You don’t need that kind of distraction in your life.” Kamila says. “You know of all the rumors that surround him. He might be hot, but he is just plain trouble.”  “Yea, I already know that.” I squint my eyes at her. I am not someone that likes people telling me what I can or can’t do. I know she is trying to look out for me, but it’s kind of pissing me off.  “You need to focused on what is important and-”  “Know your place, Kamila. Remember who you are talking to.” I say softly. Not in a warning tone, it is more like a reminder.  She smiles and nods. “Sorry. I just worry.”  I smile. “I know.”  “We should be there soon.” She says looking at her phone.  ‘Are we... are we actually a little nervous?’ I ask Hestia.  ‘Alana, we can’t have any of that. Compose yourself before we get there.’ She says.  I sigh. (I can’t believe this man. I really don’t like the way he makes me feel. I want to punch him in the face.)  ‘We probably will if he makes us angry enough.’ Hestia says.  I smirk knowing that I am going to enjoy his reaction if we do.
