“We have most of the same classes, you can follow me if you want and I show you around” She says. “Thanks, that would be great,” I told her. “So you are from Alpha Jacksons Pack I heard” She asks. I say nothing, gossip has already started. “My father is third in command. He heard Alpha Ezra and Beta Mateo talking, you have Beta genes?” She says and I nod, not that they would do any good without a wolf. “Your mother has quite the reputation too, only female warrior in jackson pack, what was it like living there?” “Um it was okay I guess just like any other pack” I tell her. “Yeah well Alpha Ezra hates Alpha Jackson, I was surprised to hear he actually let someone transfer over your parents must have pretty good reputations we haven’t newcomers in a few years” She says. “This is our english class, Mr Tonks is nice but don’t be late. He hates tardiness. I looked in the classroom and unlike the classrooms back in my old pack everyone was chatting quietly as they waited for the teacher to arrive.My old pack students did whatever they liked and were loud and uncontrollable most of the time, so I was a little surprised to see everyone on their best behavior. Jasmine pulls me to an empty desk and I sit beside her. She points out a few different groups of kids chatting. “That group over there are safe as I like to call them, they won’t cause any trouble” She says pointing to a bunch of kids talking amongst themselves they looked a little nerdy not that I cared I was also a bit of a nerd. “Now that group over there try and avoid them, the blonde girl her name Angie and she is real b*tch, also queen B of the school as you can probably tell, just try and coast through the middle like I do and you should be fine” She says before pointing out a few other small groups before the teacher came in who thankfully didn’t make a fuss about there being a new student instead set straight to work writing on the whiteboard before telling us to copy it. The day passing by in blur and I for the most part did what Jasmine advised, and kept to myself and at lunch time I sat out on the oval with Jasmine watching as students and teachers set up the training grounds. Nausea filled me knowing I was about to do two hours of training when I suddenly saw my mother walk out onto the field along with Alpha Ezra.Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 5 “Does the Alpha help with training?” I ask Jasmine. “Yeah, he comes everyday, to help train us. Training is compulsory no matter age and gender” I watch as Angie, the girl Jasmine told me to avoid runs across the field towards the Alpha clinging onto him like a leech. “Yeah Angie has a thing for the Alpha, seems to think he will choose her as his mate” Jasmine says and I nod. For some reason seeing her cling on to him annoyed me a little but I shoved it aside. I didn’t want any trouble with her especially if she is as bad as Jasmine said she is. “How old is the Alpha?” I ask, he looked pretty young compared to my last Alpha who was in his forties. “25, he is a good Alpha, strict but fair. A lot better than his father who was a complete a**hole” “So he took over the pack when his father stepped down?” I ask. Jasmine shakes her head. “No Alpha Ezra killed him and took over when he was 17” “Geez a lot wouldn’t have liked answering to a 17 year old” I tell her but she shakes her head.   “No, everyone was glad to see Alpha Dean get taken down, he was cruel. Women weren’t even allowed to train back then, treated like animals and he used to kill anyone that stepped out of line, he even killed his own mate, and his second chance one” She says making me feel sick at her words. “That’s terrible” I tell her and she nods. “Yeah everyone hated him, things changed after Alpha took over, he made sure women could train to better protect ourselves, maybe that’s why he was so quick to have your family join our pack. Your mother would be an advantage to have and your father given that he has Beta genes” I nod. “Maybe” I tell her just as Alpha Ezra looks in our direction, I drop my head and am thankful when the school bells ring, signalling the end of lunch. Jasmine and I make our way back to our lockers and grab our gym clothes out. Going to the bathrooms we quickly change before heading down to the ovals. Alpha Ezra and my mother were talking amongst a few of the teachers before silence sudden;ly feel overone and people started walking of tpo the designated groups. I followed Jasmine over to our age group and was a little shocked to see Alpha Ezra come over. Jasmine smiles at him when he approaches. “Hey Alpha” She says. “Hi Jasmine, you can sit out for today Kat to see how things run if you like” He says and I nod grateful I didn’t have to start training straight away. “No she can train like the rest of them” My mother says coming up behind him. So much for sitting out.
