The Female Alpha's Secret Mate (GirlxGirl)

4th Chapter

Dane Blackwood

Uh… I groaned when I was woken up by the incessant ringing of my phone alarm. I slept late last night, I kept tossing and turning in my bed. 

When I was finally able to get some few hours of sleep. I’m woken up by my five-thirty a.m. alarm. A brand new day of long and torturous training, I can’t wait for this Alpha extensive training camp to be over. True to it’s name, this training camp is hardcore.

I have never been pushed this hard with any of the other training camps that I have previously been to. This hellish campus organized by the Greyhound wolf pack, they invite a chosen few of next in line Alphas from different packs all over the country. The purpose of the training camp is for future Alphas to meet and train together to get to know each other for the betterment of the werewolf community by helping one another and prevent future conflict between packs. 

I sit up on the bed and stretch my sore back muscles, I am only wearing a loose tee shirt and underwear. After stretching and cracking my knuckles, I stood up from the bed then tied my long blonde hair in a messy bun. 

The door suddenly opened and my future Beta or second in command, Simon walked in the room. “Yo Dane, you awake yet?” I rolled my eyes and shook my head. 

“No, I’m still sleeping and how many times have I told you, Simon? Knock before you enter a room, it’s just basic manners, learn it please.” I walked to the dresser to pick out my clothes.

“K. Whatever. Hurry up, I’m hungry.” Simon says as he sits down on the unmade bed. 

“Why are you bothering me, where’s Will? Go bother him instead. And, if you really want me to hurry up, get the hell out so I can change.” Will is my future Gama or the third in command in my pack. The camp allows us to bring both our Beta and Gamma so they can train alongside us. 

“As usual, William is still asleep. I already tried waking that b-stard but he wouldn’t budge. I got bored while waiting for him to wake up so I came here instead. What’s the big deal anyways, I have already seen you naked a lot of times.” Simon shrugged nonchalantly. 

Despite how it sounded, he didn’t mean it in a dirty way, it wasn’t uncommon for werewolves to see each other naked because when we shift back to our human forms, naturally, we are naked because we either destroy our clothes from shifting as our wolf or for a more practical approach we strip off our clothes before shifting to avoid ruining our clothes.    

I open the door and signal for him to get out. “It’s still awkward, we’re like siblings and it’s weird when we’re not from shifting so get the hell out. I’ll be done in a minute so wait for me outside.” I muttered.

“K, Alpha.” When he finally went out, I stripped down and wore my matching gray joggers and sports bra. I made my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Our daily schedule for this training camp is;

6am to 7:30am -Breakfast

7:30am to 11am -Strength training/ Gym training

11am to 1pm -Lunch and Break time

1pm to 5pm -Hand to hand and Wolf combat

5pm to 7pm -Dinner

Everyday is just training, fighting and weight lifting. Sometimes, I do wish that I was a normal she-wolf, having no pressure of being the next Alpha and I wouldn’t have to train so much hours in a day but ever since I was young, my mother instilled in my mind to always train hard and push myself to be the perfect Alpha that she wants me to become. I love my parents, granted that I like my dad more than my mom but I love them both all the same so I want them to be proud of my accomplishments so I have always done my best but sometimes, I feel like it will never be enough for my mom. 

I’m not really complaining since I don’t mind training but I do miss doing the normal teenage stuff like attending school and going to parties with my friends. 

I also miss one particular person… I miss Stella. We used to be close friends when we were young. I liked hanging out with her so I often sneak around to be with her. I don’t know what it is about her but I like having her around me. It’s like her presence soothes me. There was no clear explanation, I just found myself drawn to her.

I liked having her beside me, I liked talking to her for hours but sadly, when my mom caught me hanging out with Stella, she scolded me and ordered me to never speak or come near Stella ever again. I didn’t understand why my mom was so against me hanging out with Stella, and I was a child so I wasn’t going to follow her easily but I think that my mother is psychic, she was able to read what I was thinking so she threatened me that if I didn’t follow her command, she will hurt Stella and throw her out of the pack and let her starve to death.

I didn’t want that to happen until then and now, I followed my mom’s orders. I didn’t speak or ever come close to Stella anymore. But, sometimes, I can’t help but look at her secretly. Especially when we were at school, my mother was not there so I am free to look at her from afar but I still wouldn’t dare talk to her because I fear that somebody from my pack might say something to my mother. 

Stella is a stunning girl, with her soft light brown hair that I just want to run my fingers through to her beautiful silver eyes that lights up when she smiles with her friends. I also want to be able to make her smile that way. I also want to be there to save her when she is being bullied but I can’t do it out in the open so I did my best to help her in the shadows.

Oh goodness, here I am again,  the way that I’m talking about her makes it sound like I like Stella in a romantic kind of way. I’m straight, a heterosexual, I even have a boyfriend that my mother approves of, so I can’t be a lesbian and I can’t like Stella in that kind of way. I only like and care about her as a friend. As I desperately tried to convince myself, I made my way out of the room and Simon was leaning on the nearby wall with his arms crossed, making his biceps bulge. 

 I walked ahead of him as we made our way downstairs and went towards the busy dining area. 

It’s not like I have something against homosexual people its just that my mother has a certain unnatural hatred towards them. My mom is a very opinionated woman and she always thinks that her beliefs are right. A lot of the time, I don’t agree with her opinions and some of her decisions in running the pack. Things like having omegas in our pack, having omegas in a pack is a long forgotten practice in the werewolf community, it has been abolished because of the unfair treatment that omegas experience but some packs do still practice it like ours, I already told my mother that we should stop assigning omegas and every member of the pack should help around the pack house. There’s also the packs hatred towards same s*x mates, whenever it happens in our pack, the couple are always harassed into leaving, Any member of our pack that is seen supporting and helping out anyone that is gay is harassed so to be safe everyone in our pack either chose to be quiet, ignore or bully the gay people. 

A lot of times, I tried talking and explaining to my mother that there is nothing wrong with same s*x mates or homosexuals in general but she wouldn’t listen, she would end up lecturing me about what’s right and wrong. I hope that when it’s my time to lead the pack as their Alpha, I can change the packs mind and attitude towards same s*x mates and homosexuals. I don’t want to be known as the leader of the pack that is so narrow minded with their thinking.   

Those are only a few issues in my pack that I have to address when I’m finally the Alpha and there’s many more where those came from. I just hope that my mother will let me lead the pack, my way but with the big changes that I’m planning I just hope that she won’t kill me. I love my mother but sometimes, I just want her to shut up and trust me to do the right thing for our pack.

When we arrived at the dining area, a lot of people were already seated and wolfing down the food. I looked around the large table and saw my new friend. Maya, she’s a newly appointed Alpha of her pack, the Wolfgang Pack, it’s still a fairly small pack but the members are known to be quite agile and swift on their feet. It’s especially true with Maya, I see her during training and she might not be as strong or well trained as the others but she gets by with her speed and agility. 

I sat beside her and she smiled at me when she saw me. “Hey Dane, you don’t look so good. Didn’t get enough sleep last night?” Simon is already off to his newly found buddies that were seated at the table. 

“Yeah, I just couldn’t sleep and I don’t know why.” I shrugged then I got myself a tall stack of pancakes. 

“Maybe you’re s-xually frustrated? I heard that it can hinder sleep. You should just rub one in, it’ll probably help.” I choke on my orange juice, I was coughing and patting my chest to get the liquid out of the wrong pipe. I look at her and she’s just casually spooning her cereal into her mouth. 

“Maya! It’s too early in the morning for that kind of talk.” I hit her on the arm lightly. 

She gave me a side glance while she giggled. “What? I’m just stating the truth.” 

I shook my head and continued eating my syrup soaked pancakes. 

“Well, if you don’t want to do it alone, you can come to me for help.” She winked at me and made a kissy face. 

I chuckled, I knew that she was just kidding around because that was her personality, a little flirty and always flamboyant. Maya is a proud lesbian so she openly hits on any woman that she finds attractive in the camp. She told me that she hasn’t found her mate yet so she’s going to enjoy her freedom as long as she can. If my mother ever finds out that I’m hanging out with someone gay, she’s probably going to revoke my position as the next Alpha of our pack. 

After breakfast, we all head to the enormous gym that the Greyhound pack has allowed us to use. They laid out every possible and necessary equipment for us to use so we can’t complain. 

We all start to do our own thing, the leaders of this pack facilitate our training and provides us with some suggestions to improve our routine but overall, they still gives us free reign to do what we want.  

I was about to finish lifting some weights when I saw in the gym mirror that my Gamma, Will walks in shirtless and only wearing running shorts. He made his way towards me, I huffed as I put down the weights. I turned around to face Will and raised a brow at him. “You’re late, again.”

“Sorry, Dane. I was out so late last night, I was banging these two hot girls from the Greyhound pack and I lost track of time.” Will was rubbing his nape, trying to look apologetic but I knew better than to believe him.

“Uhuh. William, may I remind you that you are here to train and not to sleep with every possible woman that you can. Now, I don’t care who and how many you sleep with but be sure to be responsible enough to be in time for training, am I making myself clear?” I spoke with an authoritative tone so he knows that I meant business.

“Yes, Alpha. It won’t happen again.” He bows his head down. 

“Okay, now start training. Were you able to eat breakfast?” I asked while I wiped the sweat off my abdomen. 

Will pouted and rubbed his six pack abs. “No, when I got to the dining room the table was already clean and empty. I’m starving, I can’t wait for lunch.”

“Serves you right for being late.” I chuckled. I left him by the weight training area while I held my empty water bottle to refill it in the water cooler.
