The Song for Alpha Dark Knight

Aiden's POV I stare at the same chain for nth time. The only thing. The only memory. The only belonging of hers she left behind. It has been years and I still can't seem to come out of her daze. Sometimes I wake up and strongly pray that this should all be a dream. But then, I look at the calendar and all my hope silently runs into the vain. And sometimes, I feel like I can't breathe. And some other times, I feel like I'm strong enough to move on. Little did I know that by the end of the day, I would cry myself to sleep with just memories of her with her chain under my pillow. Gives me kind of strength that her soul is still around me. Watching me yearn for her. And some other times I suddenly believe the whole ghost existence and whisper sweet nothings into the air just hoping she would hear and sometimes show up. Childish? Haha! I sigh for how many times, I lost count and fought my insomnia. I just want to get some decent sleep and I don't understand why is that so hard. Everything is hard now a days. Except Alpha Duties. Because whenever I go into Alpha mode, it's like I gain this energy out of no where and I feel powerful. I love that feeling. Hoping for decent sleep today. I will sleep sound. It will be alright. But guess not. I jolt awake to my own screams and I dare myself to look at my clock. I know the answer but still, I just want to make sure. Make sure that for once, I might be wrong. And for once, the hand in the clock might have run a little faster than any other day. And all my hopes run to vain when I look at the clock and read the time to be 3:00 AM. So... Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen. Because from this moment, no matter how much I force myself to sleep, I just can't. And yes, I have considered sleeping pills but the drowsiness sometimes carries on which is getting in the way of my Alpha Duties. So all I do is lay on bed and stare at the ceiling thinking about all sorts of necessary to unnecessary things that might or might not include Nadia. I sigh again as I stand and walk to the window. The sky looks like a piece of paper ready to get painted with vibrant colours. I just stare till I first found streaks of purple and pink, painting the navy blue skies. Sometimes, I feel like I get hypnotized by the whole process of sky changing its colours. Like, navy blue to the palest shade of blue with white clouds just like the cotton decorating the final masterpiece of art. It's satisfying to watch actually. The purple and pink then give way for Orange to enter as Sun slowly shows himself up. Good Morning Dude!! A knock on the door and the familiar scent of human gives it away that Lana is here. Sometimes I feel weird about her. And sometimes, I am just glad that she is here. She is the only lady that has been successfully handling not only the pack house but the whole pack as well. An amazing Beta female is what my people call her. The vibe is nothing when she proved herself that she is one of us despite the difference in the race. She smiled as she put a mug of piping hot coffee on the table just beside my bed. "Good Morning" she whispers smiling at me. "Good Morning" I greet her back with the smile that forcefully slipped through my lips. "Again?" She asks me with the same worried expression I've been receiving from her since years. She should have been habituated to my answer by now. "Always" I reply as I stared through the window again. I have always been standing here every single day with lack of sleep as she walks in with my morning coffee. Sometimes, she just smiles and leaves. Sometimes, she greets and leaves. But at least she acknowledges that I have been in the same position since years. The sky is now blue and clouds slowly getting visible to the naked eye. Looks like it's my very own natural clock signalling me that it's time to start my day. I hear the door shut and understand Lana left. I sigh again. Ok! I sigh a lot but you gotta bear with me on it. It's not like I do it for fun duh! I walk to the table and grab the hot mug of coffee. I actually love having coffee in the mornings, at noon and evenings as well. Basically you can say, I practically run on caffeine. I take sips of my coffee as I look at my pre planned schedule. Today is the day I have to take care of most of things happening in my pack. Soon, I have to leave for Bloodmoon pack. It is Leah's Luna and Queen ceremony this weekend. 3 days from now. If I leave to Bloodmoon pack tomorrow, it'll be two days from then. I guess I can handle it being away from pack. Couple of days could work. You can or cannot say I planned to make Leah, the Luna of my pack. It's not like I love her or any sort but I felt like a pack should have a Luna to be more peaceful. It's just been Lana handling all such things since years and I just want to help her. But now, I don't have those kind of ideas anymore. Luke will soon find his mate so that's alright. As for this Pack, I gotta see who takes over this after me. I also don't mind to merge this with Bloodmoon pack. At the same time, this pack was and is my dad's dream. He won over this at the age of seventeen and ruled this with love since then. Just because I don't have an heir, I can't put an end to his dream. This empire he built ever since he was young. I would love to explore the options of adoption or whatever. I just want this pack to run under our wings. That is all I ask for. I sigh again and look at my empty mug. It's now time to run and see what today has in store for me. I quickly change into my gym wear and walk to the pack training grounds. As soon as caffeine enters my system, it rings its own bell of workout timer. And I love to start my day with training myself and my warriors so I always look forward to this. Today, everyone are rather excited. For what? I have no idea. "Good Morning Alpha!" greets my Gamma Eric. He is just an year younger to me and yet to find his mate as well. He always dreams of her and sometimes, he says he have a strong instinct that she is gonna be a blondie with green eyes. I don't know, I guess we have to see if his instinct as he calls, is true. "Why so cheery today?" I ask him as I look around. Everyone's faces are practically lit up. "Because Leah is gonna be the Queen soon. I mean, she's from our pack right? They take pride" he whisper following my gaze. "Bullshit" we both whisper at the same time and laugh to ourselves. We saw how each and everyone over here bullied her. Made her cry. Tried to knock her down and got angry as they saw her stand on her again and again. No one in here is particularly happy about Leah. They just want to be on her good side. Because now, she is a Queen and she can rip them off without any rule but can still get over with it. I am happy that Leah is a Queen now. Because she got every quality to be. That too she is Carl's true mate. Carl deserves everything best and Leah is! "Where's Luke by the way?" I ask him. "Somewhere. Not sure. He is zoning out a lot now a days" Eric whisper. "I have observed that as well" I nodded with a smile as we warm ourselves up for the training. "Wonder if he found his mate" Eric shrugged as he squat down doing side lunges. "C'mon! Why is everything related to mate according to you?" I ask him narrowing my eyes. He just didn't answer but turned around. I follow his eyes and saw Luke walk into the ground with body drenched in sweat. Guess he went for a run. He is seriously doing that a lot lately. "Good morning," Luke greets as he pass by. He doesn't wait till I wish him back. He walked away without turning back and I just look at Eric who is now done with his warmup. "This time, I bet on it. It is for sure his mate issue" Eric smirks. "Whatever. Ready for a fight?" I ask him and he nod so excited with a wide smile. Oh! I'm so ready to wipe that smile off in today's fight Eric Wilson!!
