The Alpha Queen

Chapter 3 changing of the alpha

Hayley's P.O.V 

  The next morning I woke up early, knowing that I had important business to take care of. I got in the shower and started to wash, but my thoughts were a mess, it's been four years since my parents died and I still felt alone. Don't get me wrong I had Ron as a father figure and Tesha as a mother figure, but was that enough to keep me sane. I tried to clear my mind and carry on with my shower, when I was done I turned off the water, grabbed a towel placing it around me and walked back into my bedroom. I had picked out a purple strapless dress, I sat down to put some makeup on, which I really wasn't big on, but I didn't put much on, a little foundation, powder to set it and some eyeliner. I brushed my hair letting it lie over my shoulders, a little hair spray and I was done, I put my dress and shoes on and looked at myself in the full length mirror. I looked like the Queen I am, a knock on my bedroom door made me jump a little and snapped me out of my thoughts. I walked over to answer it and there stood Tesha 

  "You look beautiful Hayley." Tesha said, smiling at me.

  "Thank you Tesha." I replied, slightly blushing at her compliment.

  "They will be here in a hour, do you want to eat before they arrive?" Tesha asked me and I nodded, we both walked downstairs to the dining room and there was already a plate waiting for me with fried eggs, bacon, grits with a little cheese on top and toast on the side. I felt my mouth watering at the sight of my breakfast, I quickly sat down and began to eat. When I was done, I went back upstairs to brush my teeth and give my hair a once over. I walked to the throne room and sat in my once father's chair, I sat up straight and began to look at the paperwork that Ron had given me. 

  The man arriving was named Alpha Ted and rogues have been attacking his pack for years, the only reason why he stayed Alpha was because of Beta Brown, he was the strongest and has killed many rogues. The next was Shawn and he was a little stronger, he was one of the guards and when the rogues tried to get through he tore two of their heads clean off. The other was a warrior named Charlie, he was strong and a good fighter, he killed three rogues at once. There was so much to read, that I was still reading when Tesha came into the throne room.

  "Two cars have pulled up on the driveway." Tesha said, breaking me away from the paperwork in front of me.  

  "When they decide to get out of the car, walk them here and please tell four of the guards to come to the throne room." I replied, she nodded and ten minutes later four of my strongest guards came into the throne room, two stood beside me and the other two stood by the door, they already knew what to do. Twenty minutes later, Ron and Tesha showed Alpha Ted and the others into the throne room. 

  "It's not polite to keep the queen waiting, What were you trying to do, I'm the Queen, you have no authority here, so let's get down to business. What are you needing?" I said, not holding back and getting straight down to business. Alpha Ted was taken back, he must not have been expecting a strong queen, he must have thought that making me wait would show his dominance and give him the upper hand. Oh how wrong he was.

  "You are disrespecting the queen, Bow before her before I rip off that shaggy head of yours." Darryl spoke up, warning the four of their disrespect. I patted his hand, I knew Darryl was protective of me. Ted and the others went down on their knees, bowing and submitting to me. 

"That's better, now state your matter with the queen before she gets bored of you." Darryl said, while I was trying my hardest not to laugh, Darryl loved to intimidate outsiders and he loved to see the fear in people's eyes. 

  "Rogues have been getting inside the territory for years, I've tried to put up barriers, but it seems they keep getting around them. They take our food and kill our people." Alpha Ted said. 

  "So you stand here today in my throne room, telling me you don't know what to do, am I correct?" I asked him and he nodded yes. Shaking my head at Alpha Ted, I took the time to look him over, he stood at 6.2 with blonde hair and blue eyes, but he had a five o'clock shadow and he looked tired. He wouldn't make eye contact with me, so I stood up from my chair, walked down the few steps and stood in front of him. I had to take a few steps back from him, because he stunk to high hell, like he hadn't taken a bath. I looked straight in the man's eyes and he suddenly looked away, that told me everything I needed to know. This man was no Alpha and whatever he did that made him an Alpha is long gone now. I cleared my throat, ready to give them my decision.

  "You sir are dismissed from being The Alpha of this Red John pack. Who the hell made this name up anyway?" I said, what sort of name is Red John pack? Its stupid.

  "If I may speak to you my Queen?" A voice said and I looked over at the dark, shoulder length haired man. He was 6.1 with brown eyes and was a little muscular.

  "And what is your name?" I replied and the man nervously gulped. 

  "My name is Brown." Brown said, that's right he was the Beta I had read about.

  "Alright Mr. Brown, speak, it's your time now." I said and he nodded. 

  "He changed the name because he said it would sound stronger, I for one thought it might make us seem weaker, not stronger." Brown said and he wasn't wrong, the name Ted had chosen was weaker and it made them sound like a joke.

  "And what name would you have named this pack?" I asked him, intrigued by his honesty.

  "I would have named the pack The Red Moon Pack." Brown replied and I nodded. It sounded a hell of a lot better than the previous name. 

  "Very well the pack will be renamed The Red Moon Pack, does anyone object to this?" I announced and everyone shook their heads with no objections, except for one. Ted.

  Ted's P.O.V 

  I was fuming, how dare this b***h change the name of my pack. Who does she think she is? What gives this b***h the right to do anything concerning my pack? What gives this b***h the right to remove me as Alpha? The anger on my face was showing and the guard that had spoke up earlier was eyeballing me, but before he could even move, I ran at the stupid b***h, gripping her throat with my hands, but she just started to laugh.

  "I'm not as weak as you think I am, you sorry excuse of a man." The Queen laughed, taking a dagger from behind her back and with one cut, my hand was dangling from her throat. Darryl took the hand tossing it down at my feet, I was screaming out in pain.

  "Kevin can you please get this one handed boy out of my sight and put him in the cellars." The Queen asked, turning her back to me and the guard called Kevin bowed to her, grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and dragged me to the cellars.

  Hayley's P.O.V 

  What a stupid man, did he really think he could beat me? Did he really think I wouldn't fight back? How stupid. Ted's screams could be heard from the hallway and I turned to look at the three remaining men, who were sweating bullets and looking extremely nervous and scared.

  "So, who wants to be the next Alpha of this pack?" I said and no one said a word, the three men hesitantly looked to one another, until Brown stood up.

  "My Queen, we would prefer it if you would choose, that way no one will argue and we will go by what you say." Brown said and it made perfect sense.

  "Alright I'll choose, Charlie please come forward." I replied and the dark haired, green eyed man came forward and bowed to me. 

  "Give me your hand." I said, he looked confused, but did as he was told. I took the dagger I still had in my hand and cut his hand. 

  "Behold, the new Alpha of The Red Moon Pack, I know you will protect the pack. Do you have a mate?" I announced and he nodded yes. 

  "Then have a ceremony for her as the new Luna of the pack, I want you to have strong fighters, so you need to get trainers to train the men. I want more guards around the territory and I want them trained, I want that run down pack house to get rebuilt, with new rooms and new furniture. Is that clear? I want it done in a year, in one year I'll come and see what you have done. Now have you decided who your Beta is?" I said and yet again he nodded yes, like he was too scared to talk, I nodded my head and gestured for him to speak.

  "I pick Brown, he knows most of the paperwork." Alpha Charlie said, pointing to Brown.

  "Then Brown it is and who will be your head guard, to train your other guards?" I asked him and he looked over at the last man that was standing there. He had short brown hair and his eyes were a little different, they were yellow, he was very muscular. I couldn't take my eyes off of him, that was until Darryl cleared his throat, snapping me out of my trance.

  "Yes, yes, so he will be your head guard. Alright, you have one year Charlie to make that pack great again, then I'll come and if it's not up to date I'll put a new Alpha in your chair." I stated. 

  "Yes my Queen" Alpha Charlie said, bowing to me.

  "You now can leave." I said, waving my hand and walking back to my throne, they all bowed, nodded and left. I fell to my knees as soon as they were gone and tears started to escape my eyes. Darryl was bending beside me, holding me tightly to him.

  "It's ok my queen, they are gone now. You're ok." Darryl said, he picked me up, just as Ron and Tesha walked into the room, they nodded and stepped aside so he could take me to my room.

  Ron's P.O.V 

  I watched as Darryl carried Hayley out and my heart hurt for her, she was in so much pain right now. 

  "Do you think they will ever realize they are mates?" I asked, looking back at Tesha. 

  "They have been mates for three years and they still don't see it." Tesha replied, shaking her head. 

  "They will soon enough, but Darryl will have a lot to prove to her." I said and we both started chuckling.
